Rampshire Constitutional Conrentiop, January ld.
1851, by Prof: D. F. RICHARDSON, IF HAMMER
"In our section, the Fugitive Slave Law,
meets with much oppoSiton-afew are very clanofous
for its repeal. Little do these individuals Imagine
what mischief would be the results of their efforts,
could they but succeed. The South, although not
entirely satisfied with the Compromise, seems dis
posed to maintain it, unless TIE North should prove
recreant. But should the North. amid The deep and
painf1l emotion existing on the subject of slavery
the South forward and repeal this law, torrent
Of feeling would be aroused that would dash all the
bright hopes of our country, and sweep away the
Union forever. This is dream OF the Imagination
but matter Of solemn fact, however any person may
scout at the idea. From the earliest days Of our
country, questioned till lately, that per-
sons escaping from slavery, should, when their mas
tiers called be surrendered. At the adoption of our
glorious Constitution, the nobest uninspired docu-
ment in existence, it resolved without dissent
ing voice, that the provision should be inserted in
that wise instrument that persons held to service in
State, escaping to another, should be delivered
up. In 1898, Geo. Cabit, Of Mass, introduced the
first fugitive slave law into Congress- to carry out
the provisions of this section, and il nearly unan
monsly adopted by both Houses, and signed by the
immortal Washington. 1t was law similar, in al
most every respect to the recently sanctioned in
Congress The enactment of II 81, excluding slavery
from the North West, contained provision, that
fugtives should then be delivered up. Our fathers
sacredly acknowledged their solemn obligations in
this respect, and noby sustained the Compromises of
the Constitution; and would we maintain the Union
which they cemented with their treasure and blood,
we must do the same. 1t has been objected TO the
fugitive slave law, that it is nhuDan, forbdding to
afford any susienance to slave. But it has been
decided by Judge Mclean, of the Supreme Court of
she u. s. that the law does not forbid the giving
of food 10 sustain life, but harboring screening
from the master. 1t is said TO make the whole North
slave catchers but Mr. Curtis, eminent Jurst of
Mass. says, that if opposition is arrayed against
the law, it devolves in the claimant alone arrest
the slave, carry him before the Commissioner for a
trial, and if decsion is given in his favor, return
with him to his home at his expense. But if
any opposition is Made, the whole army of the u S.
is at his service. But it is objected that slavery is
sin, and consequently to return fugitive be
wrong whatever may be the law Of the land. w hat
ever God has directly forbidden in his word, it is
certain no human law enjoin. Religious worship
- binding upon all created intelligences and both
Old and New Testament saints maintained it in the
face of law and death, and justi6abe in their
cause. But the question is entirely different the
subject of Slavery. Ii was established by God himself
under the old dspensatiOn, and made part of their
municipal regulations In the dspensation, Slave
ny is not forbidden. Christians directed be sub
jec: 10 the powers that be-servans be obedient 10
their masters, and those that had believing masters
rather do them service faithful and beloved
and parakers of the benefit Those teaching different
doctrine, are severely censured If this is the Bible
aspect Of the question, surely those who refuse to
submit 70 the Fugitive Slave law, have but little
sanction for their The great Apostle to the
Genilles converted slave, and returned him TO hrs
master. There is nothing in the Bible encouraging
servants TO flee from their masters, others screen
and refuse TO surrender them. Slavery is a parl of
the form Of government Southern States. Gov
eminent is institution of Heaven. II is not sbeci-
fed whether it shall be monarchy, aristocracy,
or democracy. Each of these forms of government,
Tghteously administered ARE pleasing God. Slavery

cerned and if masters faithfully and righeously dis
charge their duties 20 them, while it is part of
our institutions, l not able to see in the LIGHT
