The North Iowan in an attempt to
reply to a communication of Gen. Ia
tons touching their 'higher law" doc.
trines, says in speaking of the fugitive
slave bill:
"The law making power of a State is Legis-
lature, which, though chosen by the people, is
not the twill of the people," nor does it always
represent that will, but has, in many instances,
passed laws which were contrary to that will"
Now, it seems to al that a law which
in its passage received a majority of both
houses Of congress, and by the executive
sanction and approval went into practi-
cal operation, and afterwards in a ques-
ton Involving its constitutionality has
received the sanction of the highest tri-
bunal known to our land, is such a law
as the will of the people assents to. And
especially does this conclusion force it.
self upon IS when the opposition under
all its phases has never been able to mar
shall a %corporals guard in congress in ia
vor of the repeal of this law, required by
the constitutional compact, and against
the observance of good faith by the States
forming the federal union. Another and
stronger reason why this law seems to
us to express the will of the people is,
that since its passage, we have, in 1852,
and then again in 1856, elected by the
popular voice, two worthy presidents,
who were clearly and unequivocally
pledged to the enforcement of that and
every other law upon the statute books
of the nation. And another and still
stronger reason than this is that, although
the popular branch of congress has since
the passage Of this law been four times
elected by the people; that in each in
stance the number of those opposing the
observance of that enactment in good
faith, has diminished until Giddings and
others of that ik are now excluded from
the House by the popular vote. Be-
sides, this law in its adoption received
the sanction of both Wings and Demo-
crats; was approved by a Wing execu-
tive, and afterwards endorsed by the en-
tire American people in the election of
1852, both national conventions approx
ing the law and discountenancing all ag-
itation upon the question and it will re-
ceive the support of the Democracy while
it remains unto the statute book.
