Defiance to Law.

The constitution for free government en-
bodies the idea that the majority shall rule.
No matter how unwise or unjust law may
be in the eyes of the minority, it is their
duty to obey it until thy can gain power
sufficient to insure it's repeal. The Suppo'
sition is that if the greater part of the citi,
zens of Republic conclude that certain
course of action ought to be pursued, there
is more probability of their being right than
their opponents, who ore fewer in number
This principle constitutes the fountain head
OF power of all the power which can exist
in Democracy Abandon this stand point
and the government is at an end. All at
tempts to bring about different policy are
not only inexpedient, but absolutely treason
able. And yet such doctrines are boldly
promulgated by the so called Republican
patty Of the present day, aud are incorpo-
rated into their political platform. They
counsel resistance to and take up arms
against a law, because it happens to be ans
tagonistic to their views, law which was
passed in Congress by majority of our ma,
tional legislators, where the privilege of
free discussion was allowed and the subject
was presented in all its bearings. There
was 10 gagging done no fraudulent votes
cast, but the Fugitive Slave Law was argued
and carried, fairly, freely and openly
What was then the plain, the constitutional
duty, OF the opposite party, but to submi
peacsably to its requirements, until they
could raise sufficient power is get it repeal.
ed This was the only true course to pur.
sue, even if they were absolutely certain
thai its provisions were inexpedient and un
just Bat what reason had they to beliey,
they were ine1pedient or unjust.
A majority Of the people throughout th
Unions men of wisdom, who had no cause I,
act differently from the way they did act
were evidently in its favor. Their repre-
sentatives in Congress had presented undo
niable arguments and oogent reasons 70

Horace Greeley to dig for himself and be

Horace dug for about half an hour and took

that the diggings would pay. Greeley told
him he would give him $4,000, half cash
