W ESTFtELD, INDIANA.

WEsTFIELD, December ., 1850.
At meeting held at Wcsthed Hamilton
county, Indiana, on the Goth Of November, 1880,
to take Reconsideration the Fugitive Slave lay,
the following preamble and resolutions were
adopted, viz:
Whereas we believe In the doctrine promul-
gated by the great Author Of man, THAT Of one
blood God hath made all the nations Of men to
dwell on all the face Of the earth and in the
sef.evdent truths set forth in the Declaration of
American independence, "That ali men are
created equal that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain naienable rights that
among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness And whereas our fathers, after de-
claring these truths to the world, declared that,
in order to form more perfect union, establish
justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defence, promote the general welfare,
and SECURE the blessings Of liberty to themselves
and their postcrity ordained the Constitution of
the United States, the second clause of section
9th of which declares that the privilege of the
writ of haJeas corpus shall not be suspended, uu-
less when in case Of rebellion or invasion the
public safety may require it and in section ~,
article 4th il is declared that the citizens of each
State shall be entitled to all the privileges and
immunties Of the citizens of the several States
and it further declares in article 9Th of the amend
men,s, that no person shall be deprived Of life,
liberty, or property, without due process Of law
Therefore,
Resolued, That we view the Fugitive Slave law,
recently passed by Congress, one Of the most
cold-hearted, fragrant, odious, tyranncal, and op-
pressve enactments, that ever passed a civilized
legislative body, and is in direct violation of the
plainest provisions Of the Constitution. II denies
the writ Of habeas corpus, and repudiates the trial
by jury. II creates a whole army Of officers
whose sole business Is the hired service Of the
lordly miscreants OF the South, while II makes
the People Of the non-slaveholding States slave
oatohers. II brings to tie aid Of the Southern
man-hunter the military power Of the North,
and Furnishes us by imprisonments and heavy
fines for exercising the commonest privileges Of
humanity and the plAinsst duties Of morality;

CINCINNATI, OHIO,

Resolutions adopted by The Toms Baptist Church,
Cincinnati, Ohio, NOrember %, 1850.
Reeoioed, That We look upon the American
Colonization Society as being one of the prime
means, in the hands of the oppressor, Of perpetu
ating American Slavery and whereas Almighty
God is our father, friend and protector, and the
God of the oppressed, and as he has commanded
us to remember them that are in bonds, as being
bound with them, therefore,
ResOl,ed, That We will not cease to pray to
Almighty God for the safe passage of the fugi-
tive to the promised land, Canada, and for the
overthrow of American Slavery

ESTOwN, OHIO.

Resolutions passed bya Meeting of Citizens Of Jfmes-
torn, Creme County, Ohio, December 81, 1850, j.
VI Torrence, Secretary.
t. Rlsolred That the Fugitive Slave Bill, Offer
ing bride for buying and encouragement to the
kidnapping of free men, is disgrace to any civil
lied community.
s. R@eiDed, That the finger Of scorn should be
pointed at every man who voted for the Infamous
Fugitive Slave Bill, or lodged the question.
6 R.Solred, That we highly disapprove of Pres
ident Fillmore signing the Fugitive Slave Bill,
because we deem the Bill degrading and humliat-
ing to US as a nation
T. RESOLVED, That we can have no confidence in
President who could show most clearly that
Texas had no right to any part of New Mexico,
and yet sign a bill giving Texas enough for two
large slave States, and ten millions of dollars
besides
T. Resolped, That the several States have a
right, and it is the duty of their respective Lpgis-
latures, to pass such constitutional laws as will
secure the rights of all their citizens.
