% The Journal is again backing and filing the
Fugitive Slave law. He says. ''we admit that the pre-
sent law was not the written by Sr. Clay" This is
evading the question. Mr.. Clays proposition not

Mr. Webster Mr.. Corwn, and the leaders Of the wing
party. The Journal however, claims the right of so
amending it to render it equally ecacious and at
the time TO do away the obnoxious provisions
Yet told what the obnsrous provisions and
what amendments would do them away. The truth is
the Journal is in FIX; Derees is opposed to the law;
but he make it without making war on
the administration. He is in state of betpsend-
Gu" neither fish, flesh good terrapn. Finding himself
cornered he begs the friends Of the
their leDunciatons of those who oppose Ill and tells
them if they do follow his sage council "there will
be agitation long they continue their course"

denounced "kdnapPers" and ''save cachers," with
out opening their mouths for fear Of agatng tie slave

quest-and one which we shall not grant.

THE ACT IN RELATION TO "FUGITIvES

Do you suppose that any man can run Tor Congress,
without FULL Free frank, and unreserved declaration Of

breadth, for beyond all question:, Mr.. Simpson, It will
endanger peace and harmony, il free State man
attempts any change Of the only bill, which makes the
compromise at all toerabe TO the South.
One word our fiend Of the Wabash Express. When
and where did Scott pledge himsefin favor Of this
ure1 We ask this question for the benefit of neigh
Dor Of the Indiana Journal who feels deicaey the
subject He has said that Scott committed and
that the South ought not to ask him to commit HIMSELF
bat that the wings Of the South ought to take him with
generous confidence and trust to his opinions the
North trusted to Taylor.
BGen. SCOTS visit to New Orleans has been very
