The , Union party is evidently largely in the ascendant all over the South. 13:The Ga'zette says the Fugitive Stave Law "is a truly infamous one, and deserves the oppo:itioo of eery humane, honest heart." Now, without saying whether this wholesale denunciation-is just or Out, we beg leave to call the attention of the whig party, as well as 'the "rest of mankind," do the fact that this "truly infamouslaw, which "deserves the oppo- , sition and reprobation of every humane honest heart," was passed by the rotes of such whigs as Ifadger, Nell, Berrien, Mangum, Pearce, Ftprurance; Under wood and IVales—that it had the sanction of such other whigs as Clay'ond IVebster, and was approv ed by such a whig President us Millard Pillmore!

In some sections of the North, and particularly where large numbers of fugitive slaves have been , harbored, as in Pittsburgh, Oswego, etc'. etc., , Con. : siderable feeling is attempted tribe get MY in ni'lm• sition to the peaceable operation of this measure of the compromise. indeed, it is•,boldly ventilated, through the colums of a cert ain class of papers, most of them supporters of the administration of President Fillmore, who approred and signed the bill, that the "law ii , r) never be fully enforced in Pennsylvania," with mu ch , snore of the, sante tenor; and also assur ing'sinth.lllitives ss - this)sw 'reaches that it is "un necessary" for them to "take up their line of march for Caniuk," to escape its operation. This is all wrong, an& , n,,ri true friend of the escaped slave ought to glie such advice. They should tell the fugitive, "The Constitutional injunction is against you—gral is iinperative upon its, and we must obey it when called opoc—the door is yet: open; go!" A contrary course is hut carry log into effect the "high er-lac" doctrines of Mr. Seuatur Seward, and must result in much injury to those a ho preach it, as well as those fur whose benefit it is preached. The lay of the revolver and the bowie-knife, when adminis tered by the fugitive, will not be sustained, even in the corth, when brought in canted with the ages is of the law qf Pie Constitution. Besides, such mis chievoos al s ki incendiary doctrine comes with yery 111-grace truly from thos'E who let no occasion slip to prate about their love for the- "supremacy of the law," and the "broad seal'' of the states and the ms lion. It should be the highest privilege of an Amer- lean citizen to yield obedience to the requirementsH of the Con-tinnier', and:that Editor v. Ito C 011116041 lri z riqulers otherwise is totally unworthy of the lib erty he thus basely abuses. If the Constitution and law is deemed wrong, there is'a legal remedy; but 4 until that remedy. is applied, it_is the duty of et,ery'' citizen, no matter how much he may detest sldvery,' to see that its requirements are fully and impartial ly carried out. That Constitntion provides that "no person held to service or labor in uue state, under the laws thereof, anti escal:N . l; into another, shall, In coirmence of any law or regulation therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be deliee'red'ap On claim of the patty to whom stuck labor or service may be due." Each state which participated in the framing of that. Constitution, as cell as each one Which has since entered the com— pact, has agreed to support it in all it ,s provision; and that agreement is binding upon every individual citizen of those states. So lunges the üboveclanse remains, its the Constitution, so long is it the duty of t 12 ; 1850 Congress to pass suitable arid efficient laws for the carrying "of it into effect. If-it is argued that a, contrary course should he taken in regard to this ohe provision, hecanse it may be against the %%kites or the fcc;ings (.f a portion of the non-slat eholding Mates, then is a blow aimed at the Constitution Yt self; for one part of it ma) be %Mimed . t‘ith im punity, then certainly another part of it can be, wit! in a short time the Constitution itself woo)) beecme a dead letter. and the Union practically disvdved.— ViOwed in this light, an 1 we can view it in no nth er, the "conscieuce7 of a man (his inclination, inter est or nil]) has nothing to do m.itlt the execotiop of the Law. It is there—part and parcel of that sacred ins:rument,. the Constitution—and as long us me of Ithe north claim its protecting lids fur ourselves we should he wildue , tliat it should extend the saute to Pothers. And upon this !mint we beg lease to call the attention of our "higher law" opponents to thei'following extract f•ann an opinion ofilldgeJows MCLANE, of the Supreme Court 'of the United States, in a dute fugitive slave case in Indiana. It Is lan guage which all should read, and every friend of tile Union adopt ns his own.
