1apers which convey very erroneous impressions, and
States are again and again named as having passed
such laws when glance at their statute books would
Droye that they contained nothing of the sort.
New. York paper this week published a list Ct the
States that had passed such Qualifying" laws,
naming the penalties in each State for aiding IN the
enforcement Of the FuaitiveSave law, anu Including
In the Gs Indiana and Connecticut am glad TO see,
al last that the public satisfied that New-fo and

Connecticut very heavily, by way of repnsal
Now, / have no time TO defend any other State a
present, and perhaps can do nothing better Tor he
than TO refer 10 the Revised Statutes of Connecticut
The only aw touching at all upon the matter may b
found in the X S. Tit. 81 D. This law was passe'
six years before the Fugitive Law, and four yours De

1orbids any Judge other officer appointed under au

II strikes me that there is not much III the HutDytns
line them and believe If the most rabid lre-eater III
South Carolina would read the Connecticut statute
be would be satisfied moi only as to It's consithtlohany
but Of its perfect fairness. Inc nrSt containing

free persons entitled TO freedom.
Southern United States Senator one OF the mos
urcuiuei OF the hIeeang seeesslonists, upon being
challenged lay Lis finger on provision III the Con
nectieut law that he CLiimed TO be unconstitutional
rerlied: cannot do it; and it ID one OF your d
Yankee tricks. Connecticut did not step one lnci
