The MAD SouTH.--A bill has been introduced
into the Legislature Of Georgia, now in session,
to confscate for the benefit of the owners of cu-
gitive slaves, the debts due by citizens of Geor-
gia to citizens of the State TO which the slaves
may have escaped if the authorities of that State
refuse to deliver mp the slaves upon claim Of their
rightful owners.
And yet these arrogant dealers in human flesh
have the efffontery to be always charging the
North with disregarding the Constitution, which,
it it establishes one thing more clearly than
anoher,it is the obligation of contracts in all,
and INTERCHANGEABLE among, the different States
The Constitution-the laws of man and the laws
Of God, all, all go down before Slavery! If we
ever had desire to be an imperial despOt, it has
been to abolish this accursed institution.

sentiments among the people. And is not Viii
