that this Congre ntional statute did not afford
a simple, speedy and efficient remedy for,
the recovery of fugitived from labor, the
Legislature of Pennsylvania, at the request
of the adjoining State of Maryland, in 1826,
passed her act "to gile effort to the prof is
lottS cf the CMIS(llfil ~f tire United
States Wiwi% e to fugitives !corn tiller, f.r
the protection of free people of color, and
to present kidnapping." this excellent
and well considered law met nN the
eziNt
leg emergencies. It retwired the judges,
jll:•tic(r ..f the peeve and aldermen, of the
State, upon the oath of the claimant, to ;4-
hile their warrant for the arrest of any
iron?' lal;or Making, his escape into
this Stata; directing liovre‘er, that such
'W arrant should lie made returnable, by
whomsoeier issued, before a judge •of the
proper country. It required sheriffs and
•er nstables to execute hitch warrants. It
authorized the Commitinent of the fugitive
to the county jail, and other wise made pro
visions to secure its cflbctisc execution, and
at the Ante time to prevent its abuse.
This law continued quietly in dyttrration,
until the decision of the Supreme Court of',
the United States, made irt 1812, in the ease

to as showing the general spirit of the act
The seventh section repealed the provisions
of the act of 1780, which authorized persons
passing through 'our State to take their
slaves with them, and gave to sojourners the
right to bring their slaves into (lie State,
and retain them bore for any period not ex
eeeding six months. The provisions of the
third and forth sections of the act of 1817,
seem to havo been predicted upon the lari•:
gunge of the Supreme Court in the Prigg'e
Wise. It is thoro admitted that the several
States may prohibit their own magistrates,
and other otpeers, for exorcising as authori•
ty conferred by an net of Citngress, and
that while an owner of a slave, under and
in virtue of the Constitution of the United
Slates, is clothed with power, in every State
of the Union, to seize and re-captwo bin
place, ho must, nevertheless, do su without
going any ,illegal violence, or c ommitting
any breach of the peace. It is evident that
the framer of the act of 1847 had closely
etudied the case of Priggs vs, the Common-
Stealth of Poonsylvania, and had kept this
law staidly within its bitter. In, many ro
spec's, the not is a codification of the prin•
owlets enunoiated by the Court; and more
fault may justly be found with its temper
than its want of oonstjtutionality.
If fugitives players wore claimed under-the
act of Congros of 1793, the denial to tho
;taster of tbs.aid of State judges and me-
(..
gietrate might be a source of great ineo ve- '
nience to him ; but the completW and ,
er

grats of 1850, renders him entirely iiitic- ,

of the 14 publican ineinbt r of Congress from
this thstric We are !Mit h phased to see
our Republican friend manifest this com
mendable conservatism. If it were not for
that insane Abolition fa naticism manifested
by the leach r+ of this party, the prospect of
recunciliatiun and compromise between ;the
North nod the South, would wear a brighter
aspect. We confess that we have been very
agreeably disappointed at the recent courser
of the lion James T. Bare ut Congreas, and
hope that his example may be imitated by
every Republican who has at heart the wel
fare of his uountry But to the extract.
" To-day a republican caucus was held,
and was largely attended. Mr Hale, of

in the meantime neither Congress nor the

Sherman of Obio proposed same amendments,
but without coming to any conclusion they
adjourned to meet again to-morrow."

A sharp contest is now going on between
these two leaders of different Wrings of the
Republican party.
Wesley It Co. show a determination to
hold Lincoln untimchingly to the-- nIclo,11•

Lion.
Weed, consulting the manifest wish of
the people at the present moment,
,seeks to
avert dissolution and restore concord among
the different sections of the country, con
ceiving that circumstaves have done and
will accomplish all that is needed ; while
persistence in the irrepressible conflict will
gain no more, and will insure the immeasur
able calamity of a dissolution.
(inc is a malignant madman, the other a
wary manager, who seeks to smooth the
path for the Preindent cleat, while Oreeley
proposes to introduce him to the - Presidency
of a disrupted Union awl probable civil war.

as soon as the cold is fairly Boated, nature,
in a kind of deaptuation, steps in and takes
away the appetite, the commonest cold
would be followed by very serious results,

of waiting forty-eight hours gives time for
the cold to fix itself in the system, Ibr a cold
