The Fugitive Slave Law i'm Ohio.
The following resolutions passed the Legislature
of Ohio on the 22d March:

The following resolutions passed the Legislature
of Ohio on the 22d March:
In SENATE, March 22, 1851.
ReSotoed by tie General ASSembiy Of tie State
Of Ohio, That while this General Assembly would
urge the faithful observance of law upon all the
people of this State, and of her sister States of the
Union as the most effectual mode of promoting
their best interests as well high duty they owe
alike to themselves and their common country,
would most earnestly recommend to Congress the
necessity of SO amending and modifying the pro-
visions of the Fugitive Slave law, that while it
cures faithful compliance with all the obligations
imposed by the Constitution of the United States,
it will, as it becomes free Government, guard
with jealous care the rights of the freeman
And if said law, in the opinion of Congress, can
not be SO amended as to give to persons claimed
as fugitive slaves from labor, the benefit of every
legal defense Of their liberty, then recommend
the repeal of said law.
ReSolped That the law commonly called the Flu
gitive Slave law, being law that makes erparte
evidence conclusive of the masters right to recap
ture and return his slave; that denies Jury trial
here else~here that provides for the appointment
Of swarms of petty officers to execute it; that gives
double compensation to find every claim set up
in favor of the master, and pays the expenses, in
any case, from the public Treasury-ou9h. never
to receive the voluntary cooperation of our people
and ought therefore to be Immediately repealed.
The first of these resolutions passed the Senate
by vote of % to 10, and the second by vote of
81 to 8.

EXECUTION OF AMOS GREEN.-The negro
Amos Green was hung at Ellicotts Mills at
half-past twelve o'clock yesterday. During the
morning he engaged in religious exercises with
the Rev. Mr.. Carter, and professed to be pre-
pared for the fate which awaited him, and fully
resigned though denying the commission Of
the crime Of which he had been convicted.
EXECUTION OF THE CospEN MURDERERs.-
The execution Of Taylor, Murphy and Shelton,
the parties convicted of the horrible murder Of
the Cosden family, took place yesterday, in the
vicinity Of Chestertown, between eleven and
twelve o'clock. The whole three were placed
on the scaffold at once, and after the religious
services had concluded, Murphy and Taylor
successfully declared their innocence, and as
serted that their lives had been sworn away.
Taylor not only asserted his innocence, but de-
clared that he had not seen Murphy for FIVE
years until he met him in Jail, and that he had
no previous knowledge of Shelton. The latter,
who appeared much more depressed than his
companions, made no remarks; neither confess
ing nor denying his guilt. Both Taylor and
Murphy, we understand, exhibited great de-
gree Of fortitude.
When the trap fell the moose around Muir
phys neck slipped, and he fell to the ground.
Though considerably stunned, and his neck
lacerated by the rope, the unfortunate man
soon recovered his consciousness; and whilst
in this awful situation, with the partners Of his
guilt hanging before his eyes, he persisted in
declaring his innocence; and affirmed repeat
edly that they were taking the life of an inno-
cent man. After the bodies of Shelton and
Taylor had hung sufficient time they were
taken down, and Murphy again mounted the
scaffold and endured the penalty Of the law.
