Honost Democrats!
However men may differ on minor ques
tions of policy, we have at the North but
one opiuiou as to our rights. Wc all
know and feci that constitutional liberty
was invaded in Kansas, and that we have
been insulted in the person of Gov. Bceder.
All this Las been done by Slave Power,
which no more regards the rights of the
white man than those of the black man,
or of the mulatto, but will oppress whoev
er it can. i'he Convention which nomina
ted Arnold Plumer, was under the influ
ence of tho Slave Power : it applauded
the Administration which connived at,
aided in, and approved those outrages, and
degraded Gov. Boeder, and refuacd to con
demn one of those acts !
Will you endorse, by yonr votes, the
representative of such an administration?
Thero is no danger to your party in the
defeat of such a man, for the Public Works
would still be under democratic control ;

prisonment for life, yet the court so acting

(excluding the favorable interposition of
the Executive or Legislature,) where an
unjust or tyrannical judge may, at pleas
ure, imprison an innocent man for life, and
yet place punishment at defiance. A due
trine pregnant with such horrible results,
can never be in unison with the letter or
the spirit of a free and enlightened system
of jurisprudence. And, although I trust
we have nothing to apprehend from such
practices in the times in which we live,
yet tee ought to keep our eyet on futurity.
The all pervading force of corruption, and
the all-grasping lust of power, may raise
i op, for the destruction of unborn genera
tions, men who will devote themselves to
oppression and to blood. Why are we to
expect an exemption from the common lot
of nations? In the true course of events,
we must, indeed, travel tho round of hu
man calamity. Pestilence and war, fam
ine and war, famine and oppression will
visit us, and we must anticipate that in

He simply stated the ; the hniMn nee jet
pus, heretofore issued against him, at tho
instance of John Il.Whoelcr." Such, says
Judge Knox, is tho record.
Here let us notice two things 1st, the
want of jurisdiction in the case ; and, 2d,
the truthfulness of the return.
1. Judge Kane had no jurisdiction of
the matter, because the persons claimed as
slaves were voluntarily brought into this
State. Nefther the Constitution, nor any
Law of the Congress of the United States,
authorized Judgo Kane to bsue a writ in
any such case. Having no authority to
issue tho writ, the writ itself was unlaw
ful, and consequently Passmore William
son was under no legal or moral obliga
tion to obey it. Nothing is more clear, or
better established in law, than that a man
is not bound to obey an unlawful writ.
2. Although it would have been right
for Passmore Williamson to refuse alto
gether to make return lo the writ, he nev
erthclcss did not He did, in fact, make
all that a man of truth and honesty, in his
place, could make.
