We commend this law to the special considera

Some of these people, perhaps, had fathers OF

all the epithels so freely bestowed upon us of the

Sixty years ago our ancestors did not dispute ths
authority of Congress to pass a law for the extra
dition OF saves-they did not pronounce such law
wicked, cruel, unjust--they did throw obstacles
in the way of masters seeking to recover thei
slaves. So far from anything of this sort, they re
fused them residence within their borders, and
| they did not depart within two months, they oper
to be ,ohipped euery ten days until they did go,
This was a summary method of returning fugiuve

the public sentiment on this subject, in Massachu
sets only sixty years ago-and clearly such
was-it is somewhat assuming in men of the presen
generation to deny thai the Constitution contain
any provision for the return of slaves, that on
fathers never intended 10 place such provision il
that compact and that all laws TO that end are un
constitutional. Boston Journal.
