The Slave Law Examiner.


Syracuse, New York, by w. l.. Crandal.
Terms--two dollars per annum, six copies
Sl0-twelve copies Sl2. The Editor pledg-
cs himself to be independent of parties of
every sect and name, but neutral in nothing
that concerns the rights Of Man.
We know not how better to occupy our
columns, than by some extracts from Mr..
Crnndals vigorously written prospectus.
lie speaks like man in earnest, like one
who feels that slavery crisis, not us an alb
slraciion, but ms crushing, life aud soul des-
troying fact. Mr. Crandal, formerly high
ly respectable Editor of democratic paper,
stands accused of being one of Jerry's Enan-
cipators he talks like one who deserves the
honor. With the true spirit Of freeman,
he is making his arrangements, so that
whether in prison or in freedom he can bat
tie on; giving no quarters TO our desperate
'onemy.
The friends of freedom have yet to learn
how much they owe to the brave men who
made the stand for Jerry's rescue. 1t was
an example we believe will he contagious.
Politicians priests aud lnkewarm time
servers talk of obedience and submission.
The only use that honest men can possibly
make of such law IA was then violated, is
openly and Indignantly TO tread il under
foot.
The Prospectus appears in the Carson
League from which we copy the following
extracts:
am under indictment for alleged aid in
| giving Freedom to the nnn JERRY. Better
men have been indcted-better men i'm
prisoned-for acts as glorious as that charg-
ed on me. allude 10 this, only for the pur-
pose of saving that il the United States Gov
ernrneut shall have any use for me in Jail, |
will have the Examiner so organized that II
will "whistlc itself" while am absent from
the Office.
Aner some quotations developing the enor-
mites OF slavery. he proceeds:
"Bm," it is said "there are two strong
sides TO this question" True: there is the
blackness OF midnight, and tile glare oi
MONDAY; both are strong; but the contrast
is not greater than that Of the two sides to
r this question.
/ What the American People need, in order
n to secure true honor, renown, and permanent
! peace, prosperity aud happiness, is to apply
: to their legislation aud the action of theiI
Il Government, the Golden Rule-"Whatsoev
= er We would that others should do unto you
: do We even so to them" Let them but dc
d this, and the American Ship OF State woul,
f. glide down the stream of Time MS peacefully
ms the earth performs its revolutions in ohe
dience to other unchanging laws. Th
done, and America is redeemed, and be
comes thenrclorth the light of the world.
