Greedy says, in the same article:
hat madness, what futility, talk of rspeckin0
such act as the Fugitive Slave Law! Not evena
kidnapper slave-trader really respect it;
Humanity and the sense of Justice innate in every
heart imperativey forbid it. The most that conscie6
tous man can undertake to do is not 10 oppose it
force. certain measure of respect is due sub
sisting law merely SUCH without regard to its in
trinsic character. That respect paid 10 the Next
can War, though execrated and sought to arrest it
from the first. We admitted its existence, and ex-
pec to be paying taxes toward the cost of it for
ny years yet. But we never wished evil, disaster
nor death to the people of Mexico; and we do not
desire the capture of any fugitive from Slavery.
How could we or should we ? The Constitution is
not altered since Miliard Fillmore gaze Million CLARK

heartily approve the deed We think reflects more
credit on Buffalo than all that her Rusts and Fl. h.
Smiths can do in the way of manifesting their Pc
cuar zeal for Law and Order for the next ten years.
We trust Mr.. Fillmore's generosity will have many
imitators and Rust's Constitutionalism very few"
What picture is that! Look at it, ye friends of
Stanly in the Eighth District, and then reflect that
Greedy. who curses slavery like mad man, and Fill
more, who aided fugitive slave in his escape from
his master, friends IF .SanIy also!
Mr.. Greedy speaks generally of Slavery in la'e
number OF the Tribune as follows:
g But we are told to leave slavery alone; it is the
special of the South, and We have nothing TO
do with it. This is great mistake in every way.
AS journalists it is right and duty to discuss what
ever interests the public, whatever think ought
to interest it, whether in New York, England, Car
olina India. But in slavery we have nearer In,
erest than this; for it is an American institution and
exerts its balefuI influence the whole Republic,

ness and danger in any of its parts-not to say any
