Again: Has not slavery existed in every
State of the Union, however hard, rough. and
! frigid-and did IT not cost many of them a
struggle OF more than one generation to cxter-
inmate it Even in Massachusetts. where it
was abolished first and by the easiest of all
processes, a judicial decision under the decla-
ration of her Bill of Rights, "that all men
are born free and equal" it was not altogether
quiet transaction. There is g tradition that,
as soon as the decision was made, and spread
with the rapidly of lightning, some Massa-
chusetts shareholders collected their chattels,
and made for Rhode Island and other contigu-
GUS States; but the people turned out, pursued
them, and rescued their captives But now,
that people are reduced to catching freemen,
and putting chains upon them, instead of knock
ing them eff is it nothing that this very privi-
lege Of making every free State hunting
ground, and every free Northern man hunts
man for Southern lord, is to be extended by
this bill to al the embryo States of Nebraska,
and to all their future inhabitants
There Is no free State that would not deem
it an enormous and intolerable evil, and an ex-
ecrabie crime to permit their laws against sls-
very to be repealed, and their fair domains
opened TO the influx of slavery and the agita-
ton and strife Of a new abolition; and yet
there Is not ono OF them that would not be
sure, even if her hands were tied for time, of
discriminating it at much earlier day than
Nebraska, or any new Territory or new State
could. With the lamp Of experience thus illu-
niinating our path, can we hesitate for mo-
ment?
Physical geography, forsoOth! Slavery pre-
walls all over Russia and Tartary "Asiatic
scenery" indeed A modern writer remarks
that {" Asia has always been the hot-bed of sla-
yery and the ulayueD This was written TWEEN
ty years before Webster delivered his strange
dicta.
We have Mr.. Douglass authority for stating
that slavery as already IN Nebraska. OF course,
it is there without law and against law and
yet the impostors have the Catilinarian assur-
ancs to pretend that it will not go there with
law STRIKE BUT HEAR.

MASSACHUSETTS, PRESENTED BY A GRAND
JURY

The State of Massachusetts may be alarmed
son, by the Grand Jury of the United States
Court for the North Carolina district After a
recital of facts in the Boston Slave case, the
presentment runs thus:
Circumstances like these frequently occur
ring there, have seriously impaired the conf
dence of the people of this district In the ad-
ministration of justice in the district of Mas
sachusetts and, while they admire the prompt
ness and energy with which Franklin Pierce,
the Chief Magistrate of the Union, has met the
occasion, they cannot but regret that in the
district of Massachusetts, the laws of the coun-
try have to be upheld by the exhibition Of mill
tary power. And the Grand Jurors aforesaid
take leave to return to the President their
thanks, and the thanks of the people of this
district for this important service to the whole
country, in maintaining law and order within
the district of Massachusetts,, and congratulate
him and the whole country, that while, from
the indications the present condition of things
in this district afford, no military force will
scarcely ever be needed here, to sustain the
law, among the people of North Carolina with
out any aid of United States soldiers, there will
always be found standing power sufficient to
vindicate the majesty of the laws, and to pun
ish treason to the Constitution, whether con-
templated by individuals or bodies of men,
however numerous or fanatic"
When the Grand Jury of North Carolina
shall next attempt to play the part of Overseer
and censor general it may be as well for it to
present the State of South Carolina for its wan
ton Imprisonment of citizens of Massachusetts,,
and the mob violence which drove from it's
borders the counsel employed by the Legisla-
ture of that State to sest, before the United
States Court, the constitutiOnality Of such i'm

THE PRICE OF a FCGI@IvE SLAVE.

1t has been estimated that The cost attending
the recovery of the fugitive slave Burns, and his
safe delivery into the hands ct his master, will
not fall short of from thirty to fifty thousand
dollars. When we take into tho account the
abuse and insults beaped upon his master, the
imminent peril he incurred of losing his own
life. and, above ALL the innocent blood that was
sacrificed In tue effort to reespture the slave,
who will dare to estimate the cost? Yet it was
this dear privilege, so reluctantly granted by
the Northern members of Congress, this right
allowed to the citizens of the South of leopard
ing their lives in the recovery Of their prop
erty, over which the South rejoiced so loudly
two years ago, and at which the North com
planned 80 bitterly. This was, the only feature
in the Compromise of 1850 that contained the
shadow of concession to tie South While
we are willing to admit that much praise is
due the Mayor of Boston, and the officers en-
gagged in quelling tho late disturbance, for the
energy end promptness theytsisplayed in dis
charging their deity; and w,,Ne we admit, too
that they were nobly sustain, I by the military
companies which were csllee out, and by the
sober, rehscting.portion of Il } citizens, we are
nevertheless forced TO the CO, clusiOn that the

OF all New England are resc ied that the F.

gagged IN the attempted reset OF Burns was so
