By ss-Republicans that property in slaves
is recognized and protected by the Consti-
tuition, and that slave owners have right of
re-cap,ure. While GAny Republicans hold
the Webster doctrine that. as an original
question. the power to pass The laws that
shall give force TO the clause Of the Consti.
tuition guaranteeing right Of frecaptare,fests
with the States, and while others, Who adj
nit the right of Congress to pass such laSs,
think many features in the law OF 1850 are
unconstitutional, ell of them acknowledge
the validity of the present Fugitive Slave
law until ii shall be repealed or until the
proper Court shall pronounce it unconsti-
tutiopal. Neither do Republicans quarrel
with the inferior Federal Courts for obeyiEg
those decisions of the Supreme Federal
Court, by which that law has bees pro.
nounced constitutional. In the execution
of the strict letter OF that law-and every
criminal law should be executed according
to its strict let,er-Re publieans are as
trustworthy as Democrats. Such we UNDER
stand to be Republican doctrine; and the
assertion of Democratic demagogues, or of
Democratic pettiieegers, to the contrary, is
base slander-a downright falsehood.
Should Marshal summon Us on his posse
70 aid in catching slave, we should most
assurediy decline the task and submit to the
penalty; neither would we assist in rescuing
u negro knowing him to be legally held by
an officer. What we might be led to do un-
der the excitement produced by the conducr
of sneaking, prowling slave-catchers, whose
very actions stamped them as either chicken
thieves or free negro s,eulers, need not here
be discussed.
We insist that men shall not be decoyed
into a breach Of the law by the suspicious
and larceny bearing of negro catchers. If
these despi:a5le men-%ho are as thorough
ly despised IN The Slave States as they are
in The Free States-come into Ohio and lie
in wait Ike horse Ihiey IS, mouse around at
night like burglars, hire boys tn lie to igno-
rant, unsuspecting negroes, and decoy them
into bye places where captors with reyol-
yers and shackles, can pounce upon their
prey-thereby forcing community to suspect
they are kidnaopers,-andi thus excite our
citizens to rally and rescue their stolen
plunder, we do insist that such citizens shall
not be convicted of knowing and willingly
violating the Fugitive Slave Law even if
those negro catchers do have legal and
valid Power o. Attorney in an inside pocket.
we demand that slave captors shsll act
like men and not like clothes-line thieves;
and if by their own conduct they declare
themselves marsuders and midnight assass-
ius, they should suffer the consequences in
the loss Of their ilgotten property, instead
of the free citizens OF Ohio being incarcera-
ted with felons in our Jail for obeyiug the
MODEST impulse of our nature Cleveland

He impresses you as one whose int electual
force is too powerful for the vital. as il
thought and feeling were draining the Sc
cret fountains OF life. He is pale and thin,
with deep, dark. burning eye set under
the black arch of high white forehead
His expression is sad, rather than passion
ate, and his mouth looks as if it would
wrong itself when it said fierce instead of
tender things. He dresses in Quaker garb,
and says g Thee" and "Thou-" | can feel,
