The REJECTED ALDERMAN.-The Delta de.
clines to reply to our reasoning, but contents itself
with talking of the extraordinary idea," and
"preposterous assumption" of the Crescent. When
the Major takes out his mandamus he must have
something more to the purpose than any thing yet
urged in print. We have endeavored to prove that
the duly qualified elector under the constitution, is
he who has resided two years in the State, and
the last year in the precinct in which he offers TO
vote.
This position as yet has been assailed only by
such assertions of the Delta, as extraordinary
idea," and preposterous assumption" If no other
arguments are used "our castles strength will
laugh such siege to scorn." The only Bnrnham
wood to which we surrender, must he legal argu.
ment. The Delta, already sickenei with ar
aeus, has beat an ignominious retreat.

FUGITIvE SLAVE BILL.-We publish be.
low Resolutions passed not long since at a
public meeting held at Warren, Trumbull
county, Ohio; not as rejecting public SEN
timent there, but to show, to what extremes
the scoundrels are permitted TO go by public
sentiment. Not one OF those who voted
for these Resolutions have been put in the
PenitentiaIy or the Lunatic Asylum:
ResOIUcd, That we, individually and COL
lectively, hear swear upon the deseerated
altar of our liberties, that we would soon
er see this nation shattered into thousand
fragments, than to quietly submit to any
enactment, honored by the name OF law,
that would compel us to deliver our op.
pressed brethren into the the hands Of their
heartless pursuers.
Resolved, That we look upon the pas
sage Of the Fugitive Slave Bill as one oS
the of the many deeds of vilainy and oppres-
sion against an unoffending people, that
has ever characterized this guilty nation
from its foundation to the present time.
ReSOtUed. That the colored man owes
no service or obedience to any other mas
ter save the God of Heaven, and it is our
duty TO spurn the authority of all constitu-
tons and laws that make Us bondmen.
Resolved, That we will use our utmost
exertions to prevent the recapture Of fugi-
tive slaves, whether the officer comes to US
as an officer Of the Government or other
wise,laws, usages and religion of the count
ry to the contrary notwithstanding,
