mounting the Abolition platform
The L'ltelI,gencer, discussing the necessity
for the obedience to the laws, as well as for the
preservation Of the Union, says, in answer to
an article in the Fayetteville IN. c. Observer /:
1.-The Observer we think. is somewhat mis-.
taken in asserting that the fugitive slave law
is q dead letter in Massachusetts, and in the
free States generally. We do not remember
a single instance since its passage in which the
Government of the United States. when called
upon to execute it, has failed to do so. Our
present Chief Magistrate and his predecessor
are both from the free States, both partici-
pating IN the feelings of their respective States
npon the abstract question of slavery; and
yet both, when occasion occurred, promptly
sxerted the power of the United States, and
successfully, to enforce the execution of the
law referred 10. What right have we to sup
pose that such will not always be the case
under any President. whether from the North
OF the South For ourselves, we cannot be-
ileve that even the most inveterate abolitiOnist
from any non-siay eholding State, if thought
worthy by n MA jOrity of the electors of the
Union to be exalted 10 the high dignity of
President Of the United States would falter
Tor a moment In his fidelity To the cath of Of
hee, which includes within it the obligation to
see the laws of the United States executed"

great excitement and confusion ON the subject

a copy was requested for publication. The
third day was also stormy. A platform was
adopted setting forth rs follows That the
agitation OF the slavery question in Congress
or IN the several States. will finally result in a
dissolution Of the Union; that the resolution Of
the non-slsveholding States, not to admit n
other slave State, is declaration of hostility
TO the Constitution; that the diffusion of slavery
tends to the ameliOration Of the condition Of
the slave; and to maintain an equilibrium
against non slayehOlding majority; that the
hansas ana Nebraska act, and the fugitive
slave law, are cordially approved that the in
corporation of monied associations for the mr.
pose Of colonization in Kansas, is al un,,rece-
dcuted measure, and an attempt to thwart the
purposes of the Constitution and the enact

The Colonization Cause-Some friend of
the African colonization sends us the following
interesting panegyric upon it,
" We mean African colonization. Never did
it stand on higher ground. Never has it
awakened so wide and lively an interest
among the coiored people. The Liberian Re.
public is a fact. The charter of African free.
dom on African soil is truth--an experi-
mental reality. They have there laid founda-
lions Tor all future time-nOt in riot and blood
shed, but in peace and quietude Hundreds
OF miles OF sea-coast are possessed by Liberians,
and thousands on thousands of native Africans
seek the protection of the new republic They
ask for liberty and law. Africa is no longer a
blank on the map of the world. We have
gone too TAR now to recede. We are pledged
before the world to accomplish the regenera.
ton of Africa. This is no visionary project
ana, therefore, listen to the solid arguments by
which the enterprise is supported.
i. Liberia has shut the gates of the s,are
trade, so long the bane and the pain of Africa
and has substituted the legitimate traffic in
articles of commerce. She has opened market
for the world.
z. The efforts and success Of the Colon;za.
ton Society have produced a marked CHANGE
In the minds of the cOlored people here, who
are more and More looking TO that land as
their permanent home.
3. The Society docs not use its funds to bnv
the freedom Of slaves, but to fit out and send
10 Liberia those who are offered for that pur-
pose; and the number is great-more than can
be accommodated
T. See how in this enterprise the home and
the foreign principles are united. If any oh

D. Our cause unitcs the SURFACES of the best
