their measures and furnish information to
the House respecting matters under their

piece of the Administration. As heads Of
Departments, the several ministers are their
own advocates in the House Of which they
are members, but collectively as the Minis
try they are represented in each House by a

not with us. The paper is mailed regularly

ED- TnE FrGIrrvE SLAVE Law IN MICnlGAH.
The Legislature of Michigan has passed Il law
iorbiddins the use Of any Jail or prison of the
State for the confinement Of Il fugitive slave.
Any sheriff or keeper Of II prison. violating
the law. is to pay ! 1000 and be imprisoned
one year. This is right; the catching Of ne
grocs is the exclusive business of the federal
government and it should build its own slave
pens. In consequence Of this law, move
ment has been made by the slavc-catchers for
the erection Of a slave prison in Michigan by
the United States. The proposition is an
