covered with gold leaf. He was living El

"A snake has come in and twisted itself a.

into me, and then am n lost man. You had

ZME EN0LHBH PRESS AND JUDGE
y McLEANg DECISION UNDER THE
FUGITIVE SLAVE LAW

One Of the most constantly occurring as we'll
as one of the most annoying things in the world,
is the oticions iniermeddling Of busy people
with the affairs Of their neighbors This dis
position to intermed,le is not confined TO indi-
viduals, but extends even to nations. That ma
ton, OF all others the most prone to it, is the
English, and the affairs with which they most
concern themselves are our affairs Were the
motive a good one, we could find it in our
heapts TO thank them. Were the objects they
propose desirable objects, we would even take
tfair advice and pardon their oaiciousness. But
neither is the motive good, nor are the objects
desirable; certainly not in the matter TO which
We shall presently refer, and with which our
good grandam so pously concerns herself.
The decision Of Judge Mclean, remanding
the fugitive slave, Washington McQnerry, to
his master, Henry Miller, an inhabitant Of Ken
lucky, is copied into the London Nail and
made the subject of long article. The Mail
thinks that Judge Mcl-ean's decision was right;
that il was eminently able and altogether I'M
answerabe. 1t was in accordance with the
Constitution and laws Of the United States.
The Mail even goes further, and admits that
fugitive slave law, in some form or other, is an
incident inseparable from slavery. The simple
liberation slavery carries all these institutions
along with it."
One would suppose from all this that the
Mail was violently pro-slayery in its proclivites.
Not 50, however. After stating the law and
saying that the Judges decision is in accord,
ance with it, it strikes off into the horrors
of slavery. 1t danlns the masters. it weeps
over the victims who, in its own language, may
be worked, chained, dashed, or sold, precisely
like a beast of the field"
Filled with holy indignation, it piously lifts
mp its hands, and in, a lamentation, worthy of
the lugubrious jeremiah, exclaims, 'Wil n
people like those of the United States long toll
crate such state of the law
The meaning of oil which obviously is, that
the very worthy and generous hearted English
man wishes to help in the work of revising and
remodelling our Constitution and laws. Now,
had not our disinterested friend better coniine
his Benevolent labors to England Is there no
law in the British code to be repealed? Is
there no misery in London that can be alleyiated
by statute? Is there no suffering in Ireland that
may be remcdied by legal enactments? Is
there balm in Gilead? Procure it first for your
own wounds. Obey the Scriptural injunction
