From tho Mahoning lndet Of Nov. 1850
DEATH TO OPPRESSION.
The Indignation Meeting for Muhoning
County came off here on Wednesday, the
3Oth, In the Court House, and a grand,
sublime and inviting Convention II was
Of the freemen of Mahoning. We are
happy In being able 10 say that no dough-
face attended the Convention, for the
blessed reason that Mahoning County
contains none, or ut least but few who
stand ready to justify the infamous Fugi-
tive Law, or TO sing peans 10 the slave
power Of the South, which fattens upon
the sweat, the blood and death Of his fell
low mani No one, we say spoke 10 the
assemblage Of one thousand freemen ,iOhO
did not denounoe, as UNCONSTITUTIONAL
and INFAMOUS, the Fugitive bill of'5O, and
pledge himself and all his God-givon pow
ers to seek lis REPEAL, and TO DEFEAT the
oppressive and disgusting features Of this
dOughiace and hellish emanatiOn of infa-
nous, impious and distempered minds.
His Honor, Judge WADE, the President
ofthiS Judicial Circuit, spoke first, for
about one hour, upon the demerits Of the
bill, in his emphatic manner denouncing
not only the bill, but all who voted for Il,
or skulked II on lis passage; and the way
he heldup Ills Accdoncy, Mr.. Fillmore,
forwhom In '4S be voted, was a caution
TO all political sinners. Il appeared TO do
the souls oftho vast audience good to hear
the true-hearted WADE pour out his spir-
il in whitening anathemOs upon the infa-
nous pandeHers from the North TO the
Slaveocraoy Of the South) upon the pass
aye Of this most infamous and diabolicNl
law.
Next upon the forum was called, by
the united voice Of the meeting, RUFUS
p. RANEEY, Of Trumbull, distinguished
delegate 10 make our Constitution-one
Of the brightest minds in Ohio, and an old
Democrat and nothing else in politesi,
ne sSposed ROi Oaly'A1s INFAHous MANNER
IN ,Ohich the Jil ,Sas rushed through the
House under the GAG rule Of The southern
and Infamous oPpreSSors, bWt in sCATH-
ING AND BLIsrERING CURSES, denounced the
,rholo bH as UNCONSTITUTION-
AL % and he MsoREANTs tDho assisted in
Us inception and passage By their rOieS,or
fleeing chen God and duiy required their
aid IN behalf Of liberty and the rights Of
blood andlUe, as unworthy Of our regard
as UNWORTHY or OUR sUFFRAGI-RolD or
hereafter.
II is worthy Of remark to say, that il
did the souls Of the Democracy good to
h,A- hs noble and fe0r'ess Ranney de-
aounce iR his ohasie and sarcastic style
hi5 outrageous and peStiferous biM Yes
all were ready TO, and did endorse, every
word uttered by him on the occasion, feel
ing Of truth that although the apostates
from freedom for the sake of Office had
sought TO sell us and our children TO the
infamous slave power Of this nation, yet
that we had In our midSt men of strong,
vigorous minds--men who could not be
made, for the sake of office, or public
plunder, TO help to approve of the inla-
nous bill-men who would stand by the
freomen ofthe North, and aid us all to
battle for the right, and for the overthrow
not only Of this pcstilential law, but for
the political death Of every son Of Belial
who Aidedin the procreation Of this bill OF
unmitigated inlomyl
Hon. MATTHEW BiRoHARp, one Of our
EX-Chief Judges, next spoke against thi.
concentrating bill, and the way he delin-
ested and exposed the iniamy Of this un-
godly law, in his cool, sedate and sarcas.
tic manner, is not In the power ofour pen
10 describe; but il was made TO tell upon
the hearts, the sympathies, and the judg.
ments of this people; and like an old JET,
fcrson Democrat he denounced all whC
had any hand or took any part in this bill
Of villainy--this bond of blood and death
Senator SUTLITF, from Tumbull, and
JoHN HurcHINs, Esq, also spoke, as wei
as Judge NEWTON, in denunciaton Of the
bill and the aiders and causes which pro.
duced its production. And although
Judge WADE is a Wing of the old line, ,anC
| Messrs. RANNEY aud RlRCHARD are Dem,
oeTats OF the highest order Of political at
tainments, yet no spectator could discoV,
er anything throughout the exciting meet
ing which would cause any one to sup
pose that political feeling or party predi,
lections entered into the minds Of the
speakers or the hearts of the audience
80 general and universal was the desire
and determination Of not only the speak
ere, but the ffeemen in attendance, to ex
ert all their GOd-giyen powers to abolisl
not only this infamous law, but 10 mas
and stamp giA eRterRal political iFfdml
each and every villain who aided in il
passage. God grant that the FIRE fiber
" which this diSbolioll law has kindle,
in the hearts of the people at the Nortl
and West may not be extnguished unit
every miscreant who aided In It's passAg,
and approval, is hurled from power anS
/ from the political embraces of the sons o
I iroemen, OF honor and worth.
The resolutions are good, but the las
one, offered by Judge BRowNLEE, of GU
Bench, received the unanimous respoRs
and au'sR ef ne mighty mass there as
sembied! Read il, and adopt il, then; 70
lifwe must continue 20 succumb TO thl
diotaton Of the infamous Slaye-holdcr o
suffer death, let US not only suffer death
but even the death Of the Jewish erossl
tThe resolution referred to above read
as iollows;l
Resolved, That come life or come i'm
