In an abstract ofa bill which has been en-
acted bv more than one Northern State
and which is now depending in the L"sIsla-
ture of New York, the provision in the Fed
eral Constitution which stipnlates for the re-
turn of fugitive slaves, is set at nsnght with
every circumstance of traitorous lnsubordl-
nation. The conflict between the paramount
authority of the Federal government and the
power of the State is precipitated with de,
Eberate purpose of denying the South legal
protection Of its property. The Judgment OF
the Supreme Court is derided-the action
of Congress within its Legitimate sphere null
li6ed-and this is done by the Legislature OF
a State which processes still to be a member
of the ronfsderacy!
We are pleased 70 have assurance that the
Supreme Court inteni % uphold the laws and
the Constitution by all the meals - It's power
By it's recent decision in the case OF Shlrnap

Fugitive slave law and its authority within
the Jurisdiction of the State tribunals.
