di d by the weapons with which they sought TO STAY
their brethren. They did not come to arrest alleged
Saves depending on the 'aw' as their only instru-
ment and protection. They came with rifles and
sabres, to execute an edict more cruel than even
swords or rifles and the result was as we have seen.
The attempt of the Boston Courier to throw the re-
sPonsbity of this fatal combat upon men who did all
they could to prevent the passage of the abominabe
law which was the immediate root of it, is as mean
as it is cOwardly and false; and only shows that the
wings shrink from sustaining the legitimate effects
of their own acts
The fugitive slave law is disorganizing law 1t
sets at defiance all the rights of man, and all the OBJ
legations that he may contract in society Ii drags
him from home, wife and children, in defiance of
liberty, humanity, and Christianity, and at the same
time, its authors drag liberty humanity, and Chris
tanlty forward in support Of its action. This law
must be repealed. 1t is pregnant with death, desc
aton, and anarchy. Force of arms cannot facilitate
Its execution; the force of general conviction of its
justice Is alone able to render any law Efficient
We emphaticaly charge the deaths of the Gorsuchs
to Daniel Webster, Willard Fillmore, the Boston
Courier, and the bunker wings of the North They
charged the instrument of death in the form of The
Fugitive Slave law; they, Of all men, should be ST.
lent when the bloody fruits of their legislation cum
Der our streets. We hope the people who are al
ways right in their sentiments, however much mis-
taken they may sometimes be in their opinions will
remember the authors of this cruel bloody, and afro
cious law, and will give to them their reward by
forcing them to behold its unconditional repeal.
10 cure disease, we must eradicate its cause To
render law acceptable to civilized community,
we must baptize it with the spirit of Justice When
the editor of the Boston Courier expresses himself
ready to become an auctonable chatel, at the word
OF Daniel Webster, &C., then we shall believe that
this fugitive slave edct can be peacefully executed,
but not till then. 1t is deed of injustice, and is the
parent of bloody deeds, and must be repealed.

The Chri,tiana Afrrav.

The Boston Courier, whose editor seems to have
been taught moral philosophy by some more than or
dnarily obdurate Thug, attributes the late fatal af-
fray near Lancaster, Pa, to ''the higher law He
does not attribute the death of Gorsuch and his son
to their nhuman attempt to possess themselves, by
force of arms, of the bodies of men better in all re-
spects than themselves, or to the natural tendency
to defend themselves, their life and liberty, which
all men possess. 1t was not an unnatural agrees
sion upon eternal rights sanctioned by Congress- and
resisted by men of the race of .4ttucks FIRST MARTYR
Of our revoution) that caused the death of Gorsuch
and the youth he had bred STAKEHOLDER. 1t was to
none ofthese that this awful incident in the
history of kidnapping was attributable, says the hon
est Boston Courier 1t was to the 'Higher Law. .
We are surprised that the Courier should pursue
this strain of indictment; but that it should be be-
ieved, is only possible where editors like him of the
Boston Courier have any influence over the popular
mind. 1t was account of the reactive forces pro-
duced by the execution of edict so cold bIooded
so inhuman, and atrocious, that believe Satar
himself would blush to claim the paternity of it, tina
this fatal ARRAY took place. And we are not sur
prsed at it. Our wonder is, that more ofthem have
not resulted from the attempts to reduce coorec
brethren 10 a condition, to which, we solemnly aver
no power underfheaven would passively drag u.s.
1t is ordained in the providence Of God that reribu
ton shall come upon the tyrant, and that the crue
laws of the despot shall come to naught. 1t is q
"bgher law that sanguinary edicts cannot be exc.
cuted without bloody instruments and fatal issues.
We could prove this by the criminal history of all ma
tions for it is an inevitable consequence, sprngine
from the eternal fountains Of human nature, and moi
a local or legal accident. If the Boston Courier
means that the deaths OF Gorsuch and his son were
negatively in accordance with the "higher law
we believe it. But when he positively attributes
these deaths to the insiigations Of men who believe
that "God governs the world" Independent Of Dam
ie Webster, or Benjamin T. Hallett, he states what
isflse, and what he knows to be so. Gorsuch and
his son came with an armed band Of men, to seize
upon peaceful, unoiendng citizens of Pennsylvania;
and, in accordance with the prophetic warnings of
Scripture, "they persisted by the sword" They
