free States that will require every citi-
zen Of slave State. where the laws
imprison and cnslave free men from

Of $4,000, upon enteringa free State.

Of said State, and In default OF such
bond The said Southemer Is TO be inn
prisoned and then sold TO pay the cx-
pensc Of trial, Imprisonment. DC. This
would be n bad law, both unconstitu-
tional and cruel. but il would be Just
such n law rs Congress and the Su-
preme Court allow 10 exist in the

be adopted. Would Il not be better
to incorporate in the Platform of Free

THE SLAVERY QUESTION TN NEW ENG
LAND

Ian ".
We are sorry 70 say that the cap
turo Of the slave Burns. is likely 10
produce most serious consequences in
New England. Much as we abhor the
Fugitive Slave Law, we do not think
u right 10 resist It's operations by force.
The duty Of good citizens Is TO seek its
repeal. and in the mean time submit TO
the penalty Of refusing to obey what
ever is iniqultous in II, but not to open
ly resist Il.
But the pledge Of party rules that
the agitation Of the slavery question
should cease with the enactment Of
this law having been violated, the pub-
lie mind has been unsettled. and we
fear it win go to the extreme OF open
resistance of the law whenever II is to
be enforced again. Il isnow manifest
that no Compromise can be sacred
with the South that does not grant
them all that they demand. This has
aroused New England. and more or
less the whole North. and it will be
vain to attempt to divert public aiten-
ton from this question. We hope
that prudence will dictate in all move
ments on this subject.
1t is provoking to see the standing
army Of the United States called out
to return 10 bondage fellow man.
when the same Constitution that pro-
vides for the return Of fugiiiyes from
slavery, provides also that "The citi-
gems Of each State shall be entitled TO
the privileges and immunitics Of citi-
Gems in the several States" and yet no
law has ever been made TO enforce
this provision--no standing army has
ever been called out 10 rescue freemen
from slavery.
II must be known 10 our readers,
that in louisiana, and South Carolina,
and in other Slave States, there are
provisions that IL colored freemen
touch the soil Of those states, they arc
imprisoned and sod into bondage "a
pay the expense Of imprisonment. and
that there are now many who were

it be more seriously contested that. il

NO MANS LIFE is SAFE WHILE THE
RUM TRAFFIC. Is CONTINUED.

On Sabbath last n company OF in
toxicatcd men were driving furiously
through the most public streets in
Williamsburgh. Va. Some words pas
sed between them and q citizen who
was quietly passing the street, when
one Of the men sprang from the wagon,
seized the man, and with one blow
on the head, struck him dead at his
feet. The murdered man was taken
up and removed as soon us possible,
but life was extinct. The ruflians fled
and escaped, but the police are after
them, and as they are well known in
williamsburgh. they will doubtless be
caught.
We call particular attention to the
fact that this homicide and all Its re-
suits, are the direct and legitimate
fruit Of the rum traffic. The man was
drunk or he would not have committed
the assault. He was not so drunk but
that any man who sells liquor, would
have sold him another drink, otherwise
he could not have shown so much
agility. nor have used his strength
with such precision. But he was so
drunk as to lose all self-control, and
to have no more care for the life of a
man than Of a dog. The company
had been drinking freely, andhwere
under the influence Of liquor, or they
would not have permitted the offense.
They were all fitted for the part they
took in this murder, by the legitimate
influence of the dram-shops they had
visited. OF all the parties concerned
in this bloody deed, the man who sold
the liquor which partially bcreft these
men Of their reason, is by far the most
guilty. For the paltry profits Of the
trade, he set in operation influences,
among whose legitimate results are
found 90 out of every loo murders,
and three-fourths of all other crimes
