Burlington free press. [volume] (Burlington, Vt.) 1827-1865, 1859-12-23

By the provisions of the bill convict;on ia
made speedy and almost certain. an fnas
and the net proceeds of the sales of alec
slaves shall be appronruted under direction
OF the Boards of Police To school p1rposes in
the county wherein the indictment was pre-
serred or he sales made.
Another section of the bill provides for
the more speedy and certain administration
of the law in relation to masters permitting
slaves to go at large and hire their own
time.
Taken altogether. it is a verv stringent
law. 1t passed the House with ONLY five
votes against 1t, and we have no doubt but
That 1t Will pass the Senate and meet with
the approval of the Governor, and become
the law OF the State; asd if properly enforced.
as we have no doubt it will be, the evils of
which we have heard such loud complaint
will cease to exist.
As matter of policy there can be no
doubt of It's being Il good law; and, upon
principle, we think such a law absolute Y
necessary in order to place the institution Of
slavery upon proper grounds. We uphold
and defend the institution of slavery as the
normal and happiest condition Tor the Airi-
can race-that slavery is blessing to master
and slave. The laws of our State place the
race III that condition, the federal constitu-
ton spreads its broad shield over it, and the
authority of God sanctions it. Then when
we permit one single African or descendant
Of an African to remain in the State as a
freeman we give the lie to all our professions.
Then let us not only defend the institution
Of slavery in its entirety through the press
and on the stump, but let us uphold it with
the strong arm of legislative power.

driven out, belong to, and are members ot
our various churches and in full communion
That these great bodies of christian men and
women will quietly stand by and see their
noble co-wOrkers sold on the block to the ne
gro-trader, is not TO BE- expected nor will
any set OF men be supported, IN rallv or Do
liticdlly, who are the authors Of such law.
Nor Is this half the truth. Take all the
Free States, and how will the matter stand 1?
There those staunch and UPRIGHT men who
are struggling to uphold the Constitution and
Laws. and to protect the rights Of the South
in the enjoyment Of their slave property, will
be met by our law; will be taunted before
the million; will have it put to them sauarely
whether they sanction this cruel measure as a
part Of the Southern crced-to wit: that ali
negroes and those Of negro origin. can b
rightfully sold into Slavery, or driven from
their children and the place of their birth at
the unrcstrained Will Of the Southern white
man? What Northern man that has man
