Gently declined the free soil nomination

The letter reviews the fugitive slave
law, its constitutionali,y. and the acton
Of Vermont on t.lose questions, with
great earncstness.

them, affects no, the question Of con-
stitutionality.
sit would he difficult to carry out the
provision Of the constitution without a
law substantially like the one in ques-

"If there be anything Objectionable in
that, the remedy is by appeal to iegisla-

Remarks.

The above note was evidently written with
no thought of publication, but il is so honor
able to the writer, and has afforded us SO
much pleasure, that we cannot resist the
temptation to lay ii before our readers. To
Aboltionists the naue of DIR. Brisbane is IA
iniliar They know and love him as re-
pentant stakeholder, and one who has
brought forth fruits meet for repentance in
the consecration of his noble powers for so
many years TO the cause of Emancipation.
No mere difference of opinion upon minor
points can ever alenato us from man who
has given so many proofs of his hearty devo-
ton to the common cause. We love to COM
pare views with such man-to listen to his
arguments aud objec,ions--for VIC feel assur-
ed that he will ever treat us with fairness
and candor, and weigh well what we may
offer in reply. We trust the day is not far
distant when all sincere Abolitionisis will
see eye to eye. Meanwhile let each encour-
age the other TO work as his own sense OF
right dictates.
As for DIR. Brisbane's criticism Of II. c.
Wright, we doubt not it will be received by
the latter in the same friendly spirit in which
il was offered. Many, no doubt, will think
it just, and rejoice that their own sentiment
has been Expressed in a manner so plain
and yet so courteous and kind. We, too,
confess That some of friend Wrighfs Ian
gnaga.aommends itself neither to our judg-
ment nor taste; but knowing his hearty de-
votion to our cause, we have been reluctant
to find fault with him. II is our sincere con-
viction that his communications would be
more useful il they exhibited not less hatred
of the Wrong, but more positive love Of
the Right-if his terrible denunciations of
Error were more frequently relieved by win
ming pictures of Truth. Still, every man
must work in his own harness, and we
would leave our friend free to act according
to his own convictions, and to determine for
himself the value of this suggestion.

Forms Of Petition.


Msrius Robinson, the President of the West
crn A. S. Society, has forwarded to us the fol-
lowing forms of petitions to Congress and the
State Legislature; and believing that they will
meet the appreciation of thorough Abolitionists
throughout the State, VIC give them place in
our columns.
To The Senate and House Of Representatives
in Congress assembled:
The undersigned, citizens Of Ohio, repre-
sent thnt the Union OF these States, us effect
ed by the adoption of the Constitution, has
forced upon citizens of this COniederacy who
have abolished chnltel slavery within their
own borders, and who believe its existence
incompatible with justice aud freedom, the
necessity OF sustaining il 10y the entire pow
er of the nation. The undersigned, unwil-
ling longer to sustain the burdens and guilt
of this system, and the owners of slaves man
iiesting an unflincling determination to per-
petuate and sustain it, we therefore ask that
you in your wisdom may take immediate
measures to secure peaceful dissolution OF
the Union, so that those States which wish to
sustain the system can do so at their own
risk and their own expense.
To The General assembly Of The Stale Of Ohio:
The undersigned, citizens of Ohio, repre-
sent that there is on the part of fifteen States
of this Coniederacy declared determination
to perpetuute aud extend the system of slav-
cry. That the history of this nation has de-
munstrated the fact, that this system cannot
continue to exist, except by monopolizing the
control of the Federal Government, by i'm
posing most burdensome taxation upon the
Free States, by sustaining an immense army
and navy, by destroying legal and constitu-
tional protection for personal freedom, as has
been done by the laws of 1898 and 1850 for
the arrest of fugitive slaves, which annihi-
late the right of trial by jury aud the writ of
habeas corpus laws which override and de-
stroy all judicial and Legislative power Of
the several Suites for the protection of the
liberties of their citizens. IN short, that the
existence of slavery is utterly incompatible
with the existence of freedom, and therefore
the Undersigned earnestly pray that you will
take immediate measures for the protection
of our cilizens-ifom the outrageous wrongs
aud hnposi,ons of slavery, by dissolving our
connection with this Federal Union, aud
taking measures for the organization Of q
Free Confedcracy.
We hope these forms Of petition will be
promptly circulated among the people, and,
with all the names that can be obtained, for
wardcd to the bodies 20 which they arc several
ly addressed. The time spent in circulating
them will be ,ceH spent, because they will pro-
mote discussion and agitation among the people
and in the legislative bodies. Now. Abolition
lists up at once and all together to the work |!

defend him from the charge of in6dclity, and
fear it in some measure hurts the religious char
acter Of The Bugle with some good Christians
who are not disposed to be finding fault, but
yet do not readily sec through the startling ex-
prcssions of friend Wright. suppose under
stand him, and l do not doubt his sincere faith
in the Bible according to its proper and truly
Christian Interpretation. An occasional sx-
preston Of that faith will neither hurt him nor

his friends in my position an opportunity of cx-
plantations which often have to make.

Meeting at New Garden.

At meeting Of the citizens Of New Garden,
and vicinity, held in the Methodist meeting
house, Dec. 9th, the following resolutions, af-
ter an able and searching examination of the
" Fugitive Law" by Jacob Heaton and James
Barnaby, of Salem, were unanimously adopted,
and ordered to be published (or offered for pub
licstion) in the papers of the County, viz:
Whereas, The obligation of the citizen to
obey legislative enactments results from the
guarantee Of protection which Government
gives him, in the enjoyment Of his natural
rights therefore,
Resolved, That the failure Of Government "a
give such guarantee, and afford such protection,
absolvcs the citizen from all duty to obey its re-
quiriments.
Resolved. That the recent enactment and ap-
proval Of the so-called fugitive slave law, de-
monstratcs the unwillingness or inability of the
government to protect its citizens in the enjoy
ment of those rights, declared by the Dcclara-
ton of Independence, to be inalienable for in
stead of securing Liberty, it aims to pcrpctuatc
slavery,-instcad of establishing Justice, legal
ICES all manner of injustice--instead of promot-
ing peace, declares the rightfulness of con-
slant state Of war.--instcad of encouraging the
practice OF morality, Furnishes As a crime obedi-
ence to the plainest dictates of humanity, and
the dearest precepts Of Christianity.
Resolved, That the Higher Law" written
by the finger of God upon our own souls, makes
it our duty to totally disregard this wicked law
of mans invention, and in spite of threats and
penalties, to continue to shelter the outcsst and
"bowray not him that VANDERBILT"
Resolved, That the aforesaid " fugitive law"
is q selfevident violation lin its every provision)
of the fundamental principles of the Dcclara-
ton Of Independence and the Constitution of
the United States. But, whether Constitution
al or not, it tramples ON, instead of protecting
human rights, and therefore we, as "good eiti-
sens" and as men, hold ourselves bound to dis
obey it, to denounco it, and to strive by all just
means to bring it into universal contempt and
dctestation. WM. GRIFFITH, Prsst.
