Puritan Origin of the Fugitive Slave Law,
The Boston Courier gives the following bit Of
history from which it appears that the practice OF
restoring fugitiyes from service had its origin
among the old Puritans:

a piece of curious antiquarian history to know the
origin the practice of restoring fHgitives from SER

declares, by those who all come into these parts
OF America with one and the same end in aim
namely, to advance the kingdom of our LORD
JESUS CHRIST, and to enjoy the liberties of the
gospel In purity with peace'-there is the follow
Ing provision 1t is also agreed that if any SER
want run away from his master into any confede-
rate jurisdiction, in such case upon certificate from
magistrate in the jurisdiction out of which the
servant fed or upon other due proof the said ser.
want shall be delivered to his master, any other
that pursues and brings such certificate or proof
1t thus appears says the Courier, that the rem
dition of fugitves from service in this country
menced more than two hundred years ago. and,
what is remarkable, the mode of proof prescribed
by the agreement of the Colonies is precisely anal
agous to one of the modes provided by the act of
$780, the only difference between them Is the more
elevated character of the tribunal in the jurisdiction
out of which the servant fed before which the proof
is made and the greater caution in the proceed
ings It'll presumed that the subjects of this compact
between the Colonies were rather white servants
and apprentices than negro slaves, who in 1913
were probably very few in number. In was very
common in those early times, more than at pre-
sent for master mechanics to take indeniured ap-
prentces, who, if they abseonded were land noao

hald 20 Iahn
State whence they fed.
The same rule prevails now in regard to white
fugitives which was adopted by the early purtans
and is applied by the fugitive slave law to fugitive
slaves Yet the Abolitionists would see the Union
dissolved rather than apply the same rule to runa.
way blacks to which runaway white men are suI.
jected. -
