Or, if any civil posse, armed or unarmed,
enter into any Territory of the United States,
under theprotection Of the laws thereof, with
intent to seize individuals to be carried else
where for trial for alleged offences, and this
Dosse be too powerful to be resisted by the
local and civil authorities, such seizure or
attempt 10 seize is to be prevented or resisted
by the authority of the United States.
The grave and important question now
arises, whether there be in the Territory Of
New Mexico any existing law of tho United
States, opposition to which, or the obstruc-
ton of which, would constitute case calling
for the interposition of the authority vested
in the President.
The Constitution of the United States
declares that g this Constitution and the laws
of the United States, which shall be made in
pursuance thereof, and all the treaties made,
or which shall be made under the authority OF
the United States, shall bet supreme law
ofthe land."-If, therefore, New Mexico be
aTerritory Of. the United States, and it any
treaty stipulation be in force therein; such
treaty stipulationis the supreme law OF the
land, and is to be maintained and upheld az
cordingly. ~

4 reasons are given for believing that New
Mexico is now a Territory of the United

must not, by any means, be un-
derstood, however, as attempting TO
defend the propriety and expediency
| of this law. Ii is unacceptable to a
large majority of the people Of the
North.
Public disapprobation will contin-
ne to hamper its execution, and az,
itats its repeal. 1t is. in my opinion,
inexpedient. The old law of 1873,
was infinitely better for the security
of the master; for, exceptionabIe as
i! was, in some Of its features, a long
and general acquiescence had given
il moral force, which this can nev.
er attain.
A law that makes exparte evi.
dence conclusive Of the masters's
rights to recapture and return bis
slave; that denies jury trial here or
elsetchere; that provides for the ap-
pointment Of swarms Of petty Off
GERS TO execute it; that gives doub-
le compensation to find every claim
set up in favor of the master; and
pays the expenses in any case, from
the public treasury, can never re-
ceive the voluntary cooperation OF
our people.
But with all these objections to
the propriety of the law, UioLcnce is
not to be thought of for a moment.
There is a constitutional and legal
remedy. A remedy that will not
overthrow that stately edifce of free
dom erected by our ancestors on the
ruins ef colonial oppression and de-
pendence, and which has hitherto
been protected by the majesty and
supremacy Of law.
That remady is amend mentor re-
pe0i, and even if that fails, the
Union Of these State is still worth
preserving, and the law, however
odious, should be submitted TO-, as
both a civil and a Christian duty.
No State was more indignant at
the course pursued by South Caro-
lima, when that State threatened to
nulify law of Congress, and dis
solve the Union, than Ohio.
Let her people be careful not 10
initiate an example they have so re-
peatedly condemned, bat ever let
them rally round the Union OF these
States, whether assailed from with
out, or from within.
The Flag of the Union must be
carried down TO future generations,
and untorn; and, if not, in
Gods mercy, let Ohio defend it, lill
the last act has sealed its miserable
doom. REUBEN WOOD.
