The Fugitive Slave Bill.

The passage Of this measure al the late session Of
Congress- by the aid of Northern votes and its approval
by President from the North contradcts the assertion
often made by the Southern press and Southern
Statesmen that attack is contemplated in the free
States, upon their peculiar institutions 1t affords an
other evidence which ought be peculiarly gratifying
ALL That is the fidelity and attachment Of the Northern
people to the constitution under which they live Nothing
is difficult than to enforce law which violates pub
lie opinion. That all the prejudces of the North are
against slavery, and in favor universal freedom is not
to be denied. Here is law, the effect of which is to
close doors against the fugitive slaves enforced
without difficulty Its operations far have been most
efficient Uuder its provisions the long secreted fugitive
sreturned his owner, and the free of color pro-
tected from the iron grasp of the man stealer The
South should know that nothing but the most ardent de-
sire to sustain the letter and spirit Of the Constitution
could have induced the North aequesce in this meas
ure- An acquiescence, founded fidelity to that
instrument which is the foundation Of happy and free
institutions presents the sublime picture Of great
people bowling in submission, at the altar of constu
tonal requirements. The debates Of the convention
which framed the constitution tell that the subiect
of slavery it then existed in the coneracy was the
most fearful and difficult question presented for their &C.
tion To give the South an equal weight, the three
fifth Representation clause adopted and the fugitive
slave provision concurred in as a compromise measure
Without these provisions the Constitution could not have
been adopted-wth chem concurred in Under its
provisions the Union has existed more than sixty years
New States has been added and territory large enough
for an empire acquired We are great and rising
nation happy and prosperous people, and if we are
but true to the Constitution, ourselves and our DOS
terity, no man can predict however vivid may be
his imagination, the height Of future greatness But
we once begin disregard the Constitution its obi
cations and its compromises; a nation we may bid
farewell a long farewell all greatness"
The practical operations of the bill referred gives
ample proof that people ready sacrifice every
thing upon the altar of Constitutional obligations
There are II is true among men who would DISREGARD
the law and theConstuon and for excuse seek some
"Higher law" BY that "Higher law" we are all
bound. 1t was dictated by Wisdom above the wisdom
of man. But contend that in the Constitution there
is nothing that does not compor with the precepts of
the Bible. Tho patriots that framed it, through the
ministers Of God, invoked the aid Of Heaven. 1t is
perfect instrument and we cannot break part of
without destroying the whole. So long stands the
country will prosper When it is destroyed, the nation
is gone.
