For tho National Era.
THE HIGHER LAW.n

Whereas Congress, by enacting the Fugitive
Slave Bill, has nationalized the system of Ameri-
can slavery, or man-stcaling, and whereas we
believe 1t to be the bounden duty of all Chris
tanS IN their congregated capacity, to enter their
solemn protest against all iniquty and unright-
eousnesS and especially against this fiendlsh
and diabocal statute-and deeply deploring the
course pursued bymany eminent and influential
ministers of the gospel, in preaching obedience
to the Fugitive Slave Law, and enjoining on
Christians, rs a religious duty to aid, abet, and
assist in catching and returning fugitives to
their masters and whereas, according to the
report of the Rev g. w. Keppart, of the Ameri-
can Missionary Association, that the Camp
bellitcsn rightly namssp "owned one hundred
and one thousand slaves" and are therefore
practical man-stealers
Res0lred, therefore, That We, members OF the
congregation of Disciples in the village OF
Youngstown, Mahoning county, Ohio in full
assembly met do most cordially adopt brother
Alexander Campbell sfornier position to Ameri-
can slavery or American manufacturing, rs pub
lishcd in the M,lennioi Harbinger, ON July 9th,
1892 page Sc which reads follows
Slavery, that largest and blacklist blot upon
our national .escutcheOn-that many-headed
monster--that ora'sbox--that bitter root
that blighting and blasting curse, nndcrwhch "a
fair and so large q portion OF our beloved
country groans--that deadly Upas whose breath
polutes and poisons everything within its inhu'
ence, is now evoking the attention of this an
cent and venerable Commonwealth, in manner
as unexpected ms it is cheering and irresistible
to every phlanthropist to every one who has a
heart to Feel, tear to shed over human wretch
edness OF tongue to speak for degraded hui
manityp
Resolved That we rcterate the resolution
passed adopted, and published, some years since
by our congregation, with only one dissenting
yoice-that American slavery, as il now exist
in these United States is morally, socially, po
litically and religiously wrong; and we, as Chris
tians, believing it TO he 80, can have no fellow.
ship with slavery or Shareholders
Rcsoiped, That we adopt the following rcsolu
tons published in the March number of the
Miilenniai Harbinger passed and approved by
the congregation Of Disciples, unanimously, Al
Berrien, Michigan:
1. That Christians arc required by their Lord
and Master u yield cheerful obedience to tn,
powers that be- provided their laws do no,
contrayene the "higher law
. That the Fugitive Slave Law, passed by
Congress at its last session, does obviously con
ilict with the Divine Law in several particulars
g. That it is not only not the duty Of Chris

the divine origin of Christianity, than the long
time occupied in their development does against
all the great movements Of Providence The
power that can unfold the acorn into an oak
could surely build an oak ut once and in Gods
purpose rather than in his lack of power, must
be sought the reason that the Christian soul is
permitted to linger 80 long amidst the weak
nesses of a religious adolescence.
But the church has another mission besides
the spiritual nurture of its membership Chris
tianity is Gods plan of reforming an erring
race and the church is the grand human
agency He has appointed to the work. In bid
ding it preach the Gospel through the world,
Jesus commissioned the church as the eternal
foe OF every human error and wrong, and as
the powerful propaganda of truth and right
eousness.
Here and not in the weaknesses of its disci-
piles, must be found, if anywhere, II plausible
objection against Christianity; for church
coldly refusing to its verdict Of solemn condem-
nation against the Remembering and soul
destroying evils Of war and slavery must seem
in fiat rebellion against the divine mandate that
bids it forth to proclaim "peace and goodwill +"
among men. Resting the defence of Christian
ity, rs far respects its sanctifying power, upon
the few limited rather than developed arguments
above, we defer to another article the question
as to its efficiency as scheme of reform
Granted that the church is promoting, how
ever feebly, piety and purity in the hearts of
true members is it meeting in any measure the
divine promise or requirement or exhibiting
divine'power, in reforming the mighty wrongs
that prevail amongst the human race? Such
is the question before us; and in its proper an
swer lies the sufficient reply to the skeptic
taunts that so often ring in our ears

A large meeting of the citizens of Camillus
was held in the Presbyterian church in the
village of Camillus, on Tuesday evening, Octo-
Der 2Sth, to discuss the Fugitive Slave Law.
ID. A. Munro was called to the chair, and C.
b. Wheeler Secretary.
Rev. Mr. Miner, of Syracuse, was the chief
speaker; and he succeeded, in a very forcible
manner, in demonstrating the superlative wick
edness of the law; showing that its attempted
execution in our midst had plunged the COM
munity into state of profound agitation that
it strikes down every right that is dear to
man; and being full Of unmingled and unmiti-
gated wrong, the citizen is under no obligation
to obey il, but rather to resist it by all peace
able means.
The speaker very happily showed the trans
parent hypocrisy of those who are so wofully
horror-stricken at disobedience to the Fugitive
Slave Law, Wills; tho g:eat majority IS thaa

of their lives the statute of the State against
profane swearing, and set at naught the laws
for the regulation of excise, without the least
twinge of conscience.
Short addresses were also made by Mr. Bates
of Syracuse, Rev. w. w. Williams, Deacon
Thorp, and d. A. Munro.
The committee on resolutions reported the
following, which were unanimously adopted:
1. Resoired, That the Fugitive Slave Law is
contrary to natural justice, destructive of the
constitutional rights of us all, and openly def
ant towards God
3 Resolved, That while we mean to be law
abiding citizens, we cannot and dare not obey
this wicked enactment be the consequences
what they may
3. RESOLVED, That we call upon our fellow
citizens to unite with us in doing what we can
at the polls, by our charities, and in other suit
able ways, to secure the rights of the whole
People, and to aid the prosecuted and Suffering.
4. ReSoired, That no weapon, other than
that Of public opinion is requisite to combat
successfully this law.
s. ResoIred, That the proceedings of this
meeting be sent to the three daily journals at
Syracuse, and to the National Era for publica-
ton. ID. A. MUNRO Chairman.
