FUGITIVE SLAVES In WASHINGTON.

Ie Hss Editor Of The ~ " 7tibuas.
SIR: Ever since the negroes began to show their
slight appreciation Of the pairiarchia institution by
escaping to the North, there has been active con-
scentious conflict in the minds of Northern people In
regard to returning the fagitves Every one felt it
was mean business many believed ii was 30 essen
tally wicked aud cruel that no considerations of State
policy would induce them TO participate in it, while
many who unWillDgy sanctioned the delivering up of
runaways silenced objections by saying it VIA con-
stitutional obligation and that they would sacrifice
their feelings in order to preserve friendly relations
between the North and South.
But all things are now changed. Southern Cover
nors forbid the payment Of Northern debts; Southern
people show their wish to preserve friendly rela-
tons, by mobbiug, trring and occssionslly hanging
