Massachusetts IN the maintenance oil these their
we'll knnwn aud invncbe pr incpes, expect mat an
their officers and representatives VIII adhere 10
them al all times, on all occasions, and under all CIR
cumstances.
The Hon. Samuel A. Elliot voted for these reso.
buttons few weeks afterwards he was elected to
Congress, where he voted for the compromise inca
rurrs, Including the Fugitive Slave Bill. HIS con-
duct furnishes an ,xce lent commentary upon inc
value Of big professions and resolutions.
The Nh,p Stale Convention ia 1850 avowed It's
desire FOR the amendment Of the Fugive Slave law
81 az 10 secure the light oi mai by jury Al sew
eral ,f the wing district and County Conventions
Iesuu,i ms were passed denouncing he law, and ~
some of them propositions were made mat tne
Sac should provide agents 10 act as counsel Tor
persons claimed as iugi ives from labor. In the
Middlesex Wing County Convention nf that year,
YOU, sir, reported series oil resolutions, from
which quite the following:
I" Resalyed, That the sympa'hies OF The Wings oil
Mihdesex remain unchangedbiy enlisted on the side
of freedom: AMI recent events have demonstrated
that IF c,a resistance IL the encruachneIts OF me
slaves xlIsi.,nIsis eau nowhere be- o0ked Tor ex'
c., in he Wnie party of the Free States; that the
Fagtne Stare LaD merits and receiueS our entire DIS
apprDrai and utter c1ndemna.n, aud We rejoice tlat
only three Wuig Representatives from The Free
SiaeS could he found consent 10 Ills passage,
while twenty seven Of the Democratic members Of
those States voted fr it-a force none Than siiti-
Gent Ia have defeated the bill. While, IN obedi.
ance IL Wong doctrines touching the appl cation "l
The vet" power, As a law making expedIent, 10 the
acis &c Congress, we viii not condemn The Presi-
dent lo using ha' extraordinary IrtIst, WE should
be untrue The MJusanI times repeated declarations
nf The " higs d Mlddesex, IT did not pledge OUT
efforts Ia the repeal Of this cd Gus law, or TO bring
about such modification ui il Will secure the
right f Trial by Jury al The pace Of capture, and
t. ad4pI every jnssif,bIe mrihad Of protecting the
rights If citizens claimed der this law"
Al the time YOU, sir, reported this resolve, you
were engaged IN an effort 10 bring To the sup
port 0 The Wing party portion of the Midilesex
Free S Her, aud that motive may have dictated
the resolution affirming 'fhe ytsand times repeated
deeiarati oftte Wings Of MiddieSer,' as, mre re-
flN, the hllje i stcIni g the nomination oil Dan
i'll Webster, whom you so bitterly denounced IN
NJ ,rch. 1850, induced YOU vote IN the Baltimore
Convention, on the 18Th Of June last for the efficient
execution OF lhe Fugitive Slave law, and to ''dis-
couaeance all efforts Ii continue or renew" any ag
it,t.un 4 the repeal n a law which you had de-
nalnlce,i as ''ODIOUS." Oae week after YOU had
reported in The Mdilesex County Convention the
res lItinn above quhed, yon vIled 10 the Fourth
Di,r,c Wing Convention, for The following resolu-
tiuns:-
''Rts lived, That the National Government ought
relieve itself from all responsibility Tor the eTis
tence and continuance of slavery, wherever II has the
constitutional power To legslate thereon; that the
slave trade between The States should be prohibited
aud restricted by all constitutional means; aud that
the blight Of slavery should never fall upon territory
