vN-Ifa law is wrong amend or abe

elf law is wrong, amend or abol-
ish it-while it is a law, obey it.
This the kenoShd Democrat says, in
reference to the fugitive law. At the same
time it is instructive to remark that that
paper is the organ of party which has
declared the fugitive law a faa7ity-as sa-
cred as the constitutional be neither
altered or repealed, and it has avowed
determination to discourage, and discoun-
tenance, and deprecate, and frown upon,
and generally condemn anyattempt even
to talk about it. VIII the Democrat
tell us holr it is to be amended or abolished
under such circumstances We apprehend
if fhepeopfe obey the law in the expecta-
ton that it will be changed or abolished
they viii no. r great While have moral
power enough left even to desire its abo;
ltion.

{ If we understand the logic OF
the Dem0cratwith reference to the High

harmony with this "higher law" and
therefore duty to government and higher
law both require IT'S observance. We
can only conclude that the opinion of our
friend with reference to the higher law,
is not very high after all.

"By whom were Utah and New Next

trict of Columbia m-keRoShu Democrat
You tell, Mr.. Democrat We are curl
Gus to know by whom Utah and New
Mexico were admitted as free territories;
and also by whom the slave trade was
abolished in the District of Columbia, and
lchen it was done.
Utah and New Mexico are both open
to slavery and both contain slaves from
the fact and circumstance that those who
organized it refused to prohibit slavery
in such territories. As for the slave trade
in the District of Columbia, it is abolish
ed just about as much as it is in South
Carolina, and no more. We are aware
that law was passed with such tile,
but unfortunately the title is all there is
of it, the body Of the act being nothing
more than defining lrhO might continue
the trade in the District-simply creating
a monopoly of the business for the resi-
dents Of the district as if Wisconsin should
pass a law that none but her own citizens
should have authority to steal horses.
We think the Democrat is quite felici-

Douglass, Pierce, Cass &C., receive the

great body Of the shareholders, the con-
coded and acknowledged slave propagan-
dists, and those who believe slavery to
be republican and divine institution.

The C01a of Honor

The JdaesriHe Standard justifies duel
ing in extreme cases, and says individu-
ais have as good right to fight as ma
tons. We agree with the HQnddrd in
its last proposition: individuals hare. just
as good a right to fight as have nations,
and the necessity for their doing so may
be just as great and urgent. And more
over we hold it to be very inconsistent
on the part of Congress to pass stringent
laws against dueling. and then spend half
its time, and large amount Of money
arranging the preliminaries for grand
national duels with some possible or prob
able foe. We know of no good reason
why Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge
should not shoot at one another on a
point of honor as well as Brother iona
than and John Bull; and if these two
latter individuals will so shoot at one an
other. and will urge its propriety and ne
eessity, so far from discouraging the prac-
tice of dueling on the part Of their anna
bic children, they should promote, slim
ulate, and encourage all such quarrels and
displays, as the very best means Of making
these amiable youths efficient ana service
able in these grand national dues
The whole thing is only worthy of bar
barianS and wnull never Lo uracticed h,,
any one else. b. stigmatizes c. as utter
ing a ralsehood thereupon c. demands
that they shall stand up at y PAGES and
explode powder and hurl balls at each
other to settle the point whether c. does
or does not lie. Should b. happen to get
his bowels ventilated by C's superior skill.
then b. would be clearly wrong; if on the
other hand, c. should get leaden ball
in his empty skull, then it is clear that
he did lie, an1 b. is proven to be right.
We submit whether this is any improve
ment on the old mode when person
supposed to have committed wrong was
cast into the water to see whether he
would swim or sink, the former being
evidence of innocence, and the latter of
guilt. All of these things evidence only
the brute courage, strength and skill of
those engaged, and success is evidence
only of superiority in these respects.
