The Last North Branch Democrat contains an article

The profound commentator quotes the two cases
before the Sepreme Court at New York, viz: that
of Henry I.ong, claimed as a fugitive from labor ;
sod thecae of three French persons claimed as

hue hives from justice—with a design to create the
impression that the -two am similar, and that' be
cause an interest was not excited in the lattersome•
baly n tras 10 tAurte, apd .that their color was the only
reason for this neglect.
As the disbnumes who now have this bantling
in charge, are but recent converts to -the faith they
now hull!, of course, they cannot be expected to' be,
vary , plain-er forcible in advocating their new•bem
doctrines. New, ate are not disposed to believe
that the Fugitive Slave-Law is the perfection of ha
man wi•dom—ior do we beliete that we are torn

....he actually has since been sold at public auction
—or he might be sent to Georgia or Alabama. The

• These French people are delivered into the hands

each, intensely luminous eo that the two nor,-
the offspring of the sun by refraction, shone, is
