my part, do not believe in this theory, and recog-

opportunities for moral delinquences are much great

to believe that man who dsregards his social and

debt, and depending upon his friends or bank accom-

see no reason to believe that he will take any
greater of the public money or the public inter

regard TO his moral obligations in one case than in
the other.
On the contrary, his responsibilities in the admin
israon of public affairs, being less direct and per-
sonal than III his private capacity, and his opportu-

that he will make the same or even greater sacrif-

more dangerous when man, so circumstanced, is

the demand was repeated with some vehemence, when
Riley called to posse of wachmen near by and order

House. lie was soon after released by the Captain OF
the Watch. This proceeding appears to US pretty
high handedbut perhaps it is the sort of government

MASS CONVENTION
In Opposition to the Fugitive Slave Law.
CHANGE OF PLACE,


We are happy to announce to the Friends of Free
dom throughO the State, that the case is not quite so
bad we had made it yesterday. Though excluded
from Faneu Hall by the foes of human liberty, we are
obliged far from the point OF peril as
Worcester. The Committee of Arrangements having
secured the use of the FREMONT TEMPLE, have
revoked their decision, and the Mass Convention will
now be held in that building in the city of Boston, as
will be seen by the amended notice. Newspapers
which have published the previous notice, will please
make the correction
We hope the People will now so represent themselves
here that the little brief authority which has insuted
the memory of our fathers and the feelings Of their du-
tifuI sons will have little occasion to triumph in the
deed. 1t is time for the people OF Massachusetts, to
sneak out their honest sentiments and let comproms-
ing President and his merchantabe Secretary know
lust what sort of conederacy exists here IN regard TO
the violation of this piratca law. We think, short
the time is, there can be and will be such gathering
of the good and the and the great of our beloved
old Commonwealth as never before assembled IN H. -
Surely such occasion for the voice OF the people new
er before arose. The bare existence of the "law on
the statute book should be enough to arouse the State
from Cape Cod to Mount Washington, but we are
threatened that we shall disobey the law the peril OF
our necks. We are threatened with the interference OF
armed men to enforce statute which in all its provs-
ions violates every principle of justice, every emotion
of generosity and every sentiment OF rehglon. The
furnace is heated seven-lod, and to be thrown
into it unless we fall down and worship the golden I'M
age which our own Nebuchadnezzar of Marshfeld has
set up. Will not the honest yeomanry and the
spectacle lawyers of Massachusetts him cat grass
first
There are occasions when the sight ofmen who are
men, will do more than words swords. Against this
law do not want arguments or eloquence, we want
to see the show of hard hands and hearts in them
the simple question whether Massachusetts shall regard
it law, disobey it at and get it repealed
soon as possible Now is the time for one of the ole
trumpet calls of Whittier be heard and answered.

We wonder if the cold passionless looking being,

Attorney during the examination of the alleged rescu

which distinguishes the writings of the Christian

been some legerdemain practlsed to change the soul
which used to belong to this particular body The
Hndoos believe that at death the spirits Of the departed
find local habitaons in the bodies Of cows heilers,
pigs, dogs, lons tigers, and such animals. We cannot
say that we believe in this doctrine of meempsychoss,
but George Lunt who used to write poetry in praise
of freemen and freedom, is identical with George Lunt,
the human slave hunting blood hound-in-chef for Mas
sachusetts then we must believe that these Hindoos
knew thing Perhaps the spirit of wolf has
dspossessed from the cavities of George Luas bod,
the human soul that used to exclaim,
''My burning heart l will not lend,
To a doating despot's sway;
