PIKE March, Is.

Mr.. CLEMENT,
Sir Enclosed send you copy of pre-
amble, and resolutions adopted at meeting Of
the Freemen of the town of Pike, in opposition
to the Fugitive Slave Law, held last Saturday at
the House of Charles Leet You see by this
that "things are working" right, in our town,
party shackles are fast falling off, and the peo-
pie are uniting as one man to repel this odious
and oppressive law. The resolutions were
adopted without dissenting voice.
Yours, &c. p
WHEREAs, The Thirty First Congress, of the
U. ). has passed Law, commonly called the
Fugitive Slave Law, and,
Whereas, the provisions of that Law, are, in
our opinion, opposed to the principles of free
DOM liberty and justice, and,
WHEREAS, The requirements of that law are
abhorent to the instructions, and promptings Of
our nature, we'll as hostile to the requirements
of Christianity, therefore,
| RESOLVED, That although, we consider our.
selves, and mean to be law abiding, as we'll as
law respecting citizens, yet we never can con-
sent, to betray him who feeth from slavery, in
search of liberty, or refuse bread to The hungry
or clothes 10 the naked.
ReSolred, That when government does to
man, this cruel wrong for no crime, de.
grades itself from its station of authority, and
dignity, and it can no more sanctify the act by
the forms of Legislation, than it can robbery OF
piracy.
Resoleed, That we consider said law, odious
and oppressive, aud unparalleled in all previous
legislation of our country, and we denounce all
those, who had any agency or sympathy 10 its
passage, as acting contrary to the principles Of
humanity, and in violation of the law of God.
ReSolred, That the reasons that induce us tc
oppose the Fugitive Slave Law, are first, we
deem it unconstitutional in requiring US to ex
pose our lives, by the dctaon of Slave hol
ders, in arresting him. Second, its violation Of
the principles of humanity; and finally, because
we are in conscience bound to obey a "higheI
law" even the law of God, which, was enacted
before the fugitive slave law.
RESOLVED, That we will not vote for slave
holder, neither for man, who will vote for one
or sustain slavery.
Resolred, That in the selection of our officers
we will select those, and those only, who will
use their influence to ensure the repeal of the
fugitive slave law.

Fire on the Prairie.

On Wednesday night last fire was started
on the prairie about two. miles west of this city
which ragged in the tall grass, among hay stacks
and fences, till midnight. A great deal OF
damage was the consequence miles and miles
of fences were consumed notwithstanding the
greatest exertions were made to arrest its de-
vouring course. The wind was blowing gale
from the South and South West at the time II
presented to the beholder a sublime spectacle
it seemed from an elevated point, which we
had taken, like an ocean of waving flame, and
brilliantly illuminating everything between us
and its range beyond the flames nothing could
be seen, and its extent at one time must have
been from to miles in length. The scamp
