In his zeal in behafof the kidnappers, it is not to
be wondered at that our Springfield contemporary
should lose his temper when we endeavor to put our
eolored population on their guard. He no doubt
thinks it very wicked for US to sound the alarm when
we know that the human blood-hounds are upon the
trail Of their victims, and would much rather see
those victims sent to the South than have the man
stealers disappointed of their prey. But we take
different view of the matter; and in view of the fact
that thus far under the operation of the law, more
free persons have been sent into the hopeless condi-
ton of chatte slavery than actual fugves from la
Dor, we shall continue to warn our colored popula-
ton to look out for kidnappers.

The American Anti-Savery Society will be unable to

Mr.. RANToUL's PosITIoN.-Since Mr. Ran
tou applied TO the new questions raised by the fag
tive law. the old fashioned Jeifersonian doctrine Of
State Rights, the Boston Post has undertaken the
task of putting Mr. Rantoul down. The Post has
entered upon hopeless labor Its sort ofdemocra
cy will not be accepted by the masses. That sort
of democracy which threatens working men with
loss of their daily bread, unless they approve of
yrannical measure devised by Southern Shareholders,
IS not calculated to thrive on Massachusetts Free
Soil. 1t may do for whig State street, where the
Post lives, but won't answer for the country. The
democracy of Essex County, we feel sure will 30
with Mr.. Rantou for Equal Rights, State Sovereign
ty, Free Discussion, and Universal Liberty. The
Post quotes an extravagant declaration of the Rich
mond Enquirer, that CHS resolutions and speech al
Lynn, are worthy of Garrison or Wendell Phillips
and stamp his as an aboonist of the worst die. %
This will be recommendation of him to many of
the voters.
The lIaverhlll Banner says of the speech: "We
believe he has uttered nothing but the sentiments of
nine enths of the democracy of the State, and adds
that as che had dared to step forward to try the va
ldity of that law, in the proper counts, the people of
the State are under renewed obligations to him for
the stand he has taken ia their behalE''-Salem
