THE TRUE COURSE.

SEPTEMBER 25, 1851.
To The Editor Of The National Era
DEAR SIR The scenes that have recently trans
plred under the provisions of the Fugitive Slave
Law, in the arrest Of the slave Daniel at Buffa-
10, and the killing of Mr.. Gorsuch in Lancaster
county Pennsylvania, are striking admonitons
as to the duty Of those who are opposed to this
most Infamous of all enactments We have at
the present time upon the statute books of the
Federal Government law that affords greater
facilities for the retaining of human beings as
chattels, than any other law, either statute Oh
common, affords for retaining any other spc
cies of property law that outrages every
sympathy and feeling of humanity, and gives an
additional bonus to the judgment consigning
one of Gods creatures to bondage; law by
which the trial may be wholly err parte, and
thousands of miles away from the party most
nterested-leaving nothing to be done where
the arrest is made but to establish the identity
Of the prisoner, n ceremony that need never
fail. Establish that and the fiat goes forth--the
captive is u bondsman.
Under such circumstances, the duty of the OPP
ponents of the law becomes a question of para
mount Importance Resistance by physical
force to 80 henous law. IN recommended by
some might be .justifable measure were our
Government a despotism AZ the condition of
affairs could scarcely be made worse, and might
be very much bettered, But, happily, such is
not the fact With us, all power emanates from
the people and it is therefore submitted that
it is better for II season to acquicsce in the ac-
ton of bad law rather than produce n state
Of anarchy and civil war by resistance thereto
with physical force-especally, rs he who
would resist with physical force law which he
opposes, would hardly be fit person to con-
denim the like resistance to law he might ap-
prove. Is not then, the true course Of op2osi-
ton to the Fugitive Act frank and candid dis
cusson of its provisions, and an earnest cndcay-
or, in all constitutional ways to procure it's ro,
peal II may not be improper TO add, that the
tone of the Era in reference to the duty Of cit.
zens under the law will exert n powerful inHu-
enco, occupying, rs it does geographically, n
central position in the nation, and being the
nblcst anti-slavery paper in America.
Respectfully yours, X.

ious discussion, each one equally earnest, and
about equally ignorant--and, with deal of
consulting and advising over every word, the

"Oh, it's Toms letter I'm helping him to

IT'S very important he should write" said
Eva. because his mistress is going to send

st. Clare thought, in his heart that this was
probably only one Of those things which good
natured owners say to their servants TO allevi-
ate their horror of being sold, without any in
tention of fulfilling the expectation thus excited
But he did not make any audible comment
upon it--only ordered Tom to get the horses

she did that she had no air at all and they
were surprised that she should be any relation

was absolutely fatiguing to see cousin Ophelia
always so busy, And, in fact Miss Ophelia's
industry was SO inccssant as to lay some found
alton for the complaint She sewed and stitch
ed away from daylight till dark with the en-
ergy of one who is pressed on by some immed-
ate urgency and then, when the light faded,
and the work was folded away, with one turn

there she was again, going on as briskly as
ever 1t really was labor to see her

INTERESTING RELIC.

Not long since. Postmaster General Hall UNI
dertook an examination of that most interest
Ing portion of the Department under his charge,
the dead-etter Office. What musty records
and ancient documents he discovered what
messages Of affection or mssyes Of fate what
moneys, strange histories, or mere dry business

joys and woes, repeating too faithfully the old

it for our inspection is the only one of all the
parties interested in the little document on

those which time equally sprinkles on us all.

Toasts were then drank to Colonel Lea, Of
the Indian Department and Governor Ramsey

After dinner there was n virgin feast Of the
young Dakota girls, nineteen in number, and
fifteen young men Before sitting down TO the
feast consisting Of tea and fried cakes each Of
the party advanced and touched red stone
which was placed in their midst this being the
test oath of virginty.
A young man jumped into the circle and
seized one of the girls and dragged her out
without any ceremony. Thlswas equivalent to
accusing her of immodesty, and having taken

camp, however, that the young mans accusa-
