are rather inclined to think, too. that Webster

must obey its behests with %alacrity, even though
we had to conquer our prejudices to do SO.
It is pitiable to see what shifts men will resor
to, to prove black, white, or white, Black. The
history of the Constitution, and the universal prac

LOOK AT HOME.

The arrest and Imprisonment of men as crimi'
nails, who are charged with no other offence than
aiding in the escape of fugitives from slavery
giving them a helping hand in their flight from
our land Of whips and chains to the domains Of
Victoria where chattelsm is not, is certainly an
outrage. and one of no ordinary character.
But the Fugitive Slave Law bears with a far
heavier weight upon the escaping slave. than upon
his alder and abettor at the North. The outrage
which it inficts upon the recaptured bondman,
throws into com parative insigni6cance that which
is perpetrated upon those, who, being nominally
free themselves, actively disregard its provisions,
While indignant at the arrest and imprisonment
of our own citizens, we should feel far more in
dignant at the arrest and reinstatement of our
equal brothers, who have never really drawn more
than q few free inspirations. While'sym pathisipg
with the Inmates Of our own prisons, we should
sympathise far moro with those who are grinding
in the prison house of slavery.
But it is net our design in this article to call the
especial attention of our readers to the operation
of that law upon escaping slayes-we with them
to consider the character OF the outrage it inficts
as n punishment for crime upon free men, bearing
III hiuu u CIRCUMSTANCES utteHuiuS he RrOWtu
from the hour the germ was planted in the Consti'
tuition, up to the present, when we behold it's RI
pening fruits. The claim of the master to the ser.
vice of his slave was sanctioned by law when the
Constitution was formed, as it is now; the provis.
ion of the Constitution relating to the rendition of
fugitive slaves, was a compromise made between
the North and South in good faith, the acts based
upon that compromise were passed by Congress
sional legislation. confirmed by Executive approval
and endorsed by judicial authority. The slave.
catcher comes then with a three fold claim: LIST,
his legal right to the services of his slave; End, a
constitutional recognition of that right; 3rd, Con.
gressional autho ity. speaking by the law of 1913
as endorsed by President Washington, and the
law o. so as endorsed by President Fillmore
Granted that none of these are founded in justice;
they are all founded in Jaw, and are just as bind.
ing as is the authority of law.
When the law is executed, it is deemed an out.
rage, and justly; but while condeming our politi'
cal allies in the South, ought we net to see to it
that they may not be able to point the finger Of
shame at us, and exclaim, You who say mans
equal brotherhood should be recognized. why do
you deny il? You who say it is an outrage to fine
and imprison a man who aids a slave to secure his
freedom. why do you fine and ~imprison a man
who advises free men 10 exercise the elective fran

q STATE JAILS.

It would appear from an article with tho rbove
caption, which we copy from the Cleveland Herald,
that the removal of Bushnell from the Cuyahoga
County Jail to a temporary prison got up by the
government officials for his better security, is an
act which is not explicitly authorized by Fedora
Laws, though possibly it may be justified by impli,
cation.
One thing, how ever, is very apparent which i:
this: That inasmuch as Ohio permits her jails to
be Used for the incarceration of offenders agains'
Federal Laws, her jailors. by the act of 1906 or
the part Of the State Government, and that Of 1884
on the part Of the General Government, are com
PEELED to receire and hold Bushnell, and all other o
the rescoers who may be sentenced to ~;mprison
ment. What o spectacle is this The people
protesting against the sentence Of Imprisonment
and yet voluntarily opening their jails for the re
ception of the criminals, and officially authorizin,
and compelling their jaiIors to keep over then
watch and ward, and paying them for this %servic
out Of the State Treasury |!
Shame! Shame!
