In pursuance of adjournment, the citizens of Mt nt

report of the committee appointed to draferesolu
tions, who .through the chairman reported the fol
lowing, which wens mranimously adopiiid, to wit:
Whereas Con4ress hag recently enacted a Fugi
tive Slave Law Which w 4 believe ought to
the pubhc.attention—thetefore
Resulved, That posscsiing all the elements of a
laudable intlep,cndence, ste scorn the tyrant and
despise slavery in all it.; horrid and complicated
forms, as being the " I:pas". of the morn! •tvorld,
under whose pestiferous shade all intellect languish
es and all virtue dies.
Itesohtd, , That a law which suspends the Habe
as Corpus; which abrogates the right of triai by
jury; which makes mercy a crime. and the plead
ings of hunianity in a man's i•oul a penal offence;
which imposca2,,cluties thail l a. freeman cannot per
form without *in before "`God ; such a law goes be
yond all compromises ever made by the Constitu
tion, and disoWns arid defeats the fundamental prin
ciples and Spirit of {hat renowned instrument.
ResolCed, That a haw exposing a quiet respecta-,
ble man, guilty of no crime—unless it he a crime to
prefer 'liberty to slarery. and unless it. be crime
to believe .in that sublime truth which the Teenof
ti tell us is "self evident," viz: "that all men are
created equal and are endowed by their Creator
with the inalienable,rights of life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happitess .. —to be atrested in our midst,
manacled and remanded to southern bondage, be
ing denied even an interview with his wife and
children, a privilege ordinarily yielded to a com
mon pirate, must ezeite one universal outburst of
indigpation andabhorrence throughout the North.
Rei-olved, That we cannot endure that intolera
ble Orsumption and 'arrogance of Slavery which
"cont.n,lads'," us, freemen, to turn blood-hounds and
alave-catchers, to gratify a tyrants cupidity.
I —\ \ Resolved, That the question, " what has s tile
I North to do with Slaters l'" is answered. by this
1 law : and that we .will es-ehlabor to wipe off from
our National name this deep disgrace—for this law
instead of permitting Slavery to be called a South
cm' and sectional institution, hks made it eminent
-1 ly Nation al by .opeuing the National Treasury for
lits support, and by identifying, personally and ac- -
lively, every Northern freeman frith its etistence.
Resolred,'That any titx- that will give a prend
um to the jury for a cnnviction,as this does in gir
-1 tog five dollars in case of acquittal and ten dollars
Ifor a certificate, is only worthy the subject to which
i it relates, and is an attempt in a small way at bri
-1 bery and corruption of unparalleled meanness-.
Resolved, Maitre fully believe that if Divine
Revelation contains • any teaching more clear, sol
emn, and imperative thin another, it is that n bete
a human aw conf.icts with the Divine, man has
no choice but to obey the latter. '
Resolved, That we tender the unhappy fugitives
from the house of bondage opr wannest sympa
thies—we know not hew to advice them amid their
deep trills--abnl•e all we pity those helpless wo
men and childeen. We repeat. we know not how
advise.i .SocietY and laws have made war: upon
the colored man ;,they disown and outlaw him, and_
aft rd him, no protection _ ; and if ip this war he
throws himself upon the rights of his tnanbood and
defends 'himself and his family, when no one else
will defend, who cml bhune him if the pur
suer falls in iliasotOet, whom has he to blare but
himself 1
The resolutions were ably discussed by znarry
that were present, Mid greatiiiterest and feeling
were manifested byithe large assembly, which was
composed of all the different political parties, and
other classes iu the cominunity, who seemed to
hare but one feeling iu regard tp the nefarious law
under consideration. Other resOlutions expressive
of the sense of the community would bare been of
fered and adopted had time permitted.

This is a plain question, and to the mind of a :
reagotiable perion,it soemSadinit 1)61
one •tr4niple answer—Yes.. • •
Liberty of person and freedom of : conscience are
the acknowledged •birth -right, of 'frrery man.:-the
very elements of great and primary Law of
liptiiiiiehieridt human' laws are based.-4-
Therefore, any, Mw Which tends to deprive an.indi
vidua! of these inherent rights, is utterly void, and
can have ,no binding force upon that man whose
rights it thus lakes away.
The truth of this position, I thinlr, must be con
ceded by every one; in fact, it,has been acknowl
edged' bravery legal Mind . frtima Moses to Black
stone,and-froin that renowned commentator upon
the English Law to the present time, on the ground
that whenever this principles of human laws and
the law§ ofnativre are directly opposed to eachoth
er,or clash in their operation, the former must give
way and yield precedence to the latter. This prin
ciple, again I say, has always been regarded as an
axiom. and as such was it esteemed by the illustri
ous fathers of American independence; lur the vin
dication of which they boldly bearded the British
Linn, and for seven long years continued to battle
mightily against the myrmidons 'of the tyranical
opprista, until at 1a.4 the eagle of liberty dapped
his blood-stained wings over the crimson field of
Yorktown, aral perched,in triumph, over the ban
ner of the stars.
Nor yet are the principles of Natural Law con
fined in their operation t,iLitny particular State or
country, but they are as ekt ended as creation it
self; applying equally to the sun-burnt inTiaLitant
of Africa's arid plains and the dwarf-like native, of
the frigid zone, as to the while-skinned citi7en of
this free Republic.
But, strange and prepo;terous as the ides may
seem, there are those who doubt, Or at least fkng
tile truth of the 'above proposition, viz; that a
slave, or.any person deprived of his natural
is justifiable in any - act necessary to regidu their
free enjoyment:, and, after having regained them,
by whatever means )t may have been 'effected, that
he is eqftally justifiable in preserving them at all
hazards.
To such I would ask, in ; the first place, do the
principles of the Law of Nainro. as laid down by
Blackstone, or any other writer of Authority, recog
nize in any form, stavc:ry of involuntary subjection
of one man to the will turd power of another-1—
But, on the contrary, do they not universally de-
Clare life, liberty, and their free enjoyment to be
the inviolable inheritance of all mankind d In the
second place. 1 would ask, if a law which trans•
tunas the souls and bodies of men into chat:les,
and, as such, makes them the subjects of traffic sail
merchandize, is not in direct con!rrront.ii of rue
Laws of Nature and Nature's G dt Must assu
redly it is: nay law which gives its sanction to the
accursed system of human bondage, is as opposed
to the teachings of Reason and Revelation as truth
is to faLsehood, light tu darkness, or Heaven to
hell. If, then, a dir,ect antagonism does actually
exist between the human and Divine laws in this
respect, there is no choice which-to obey ; and es
pecially is the oppressed and degraded victim of
Slavery released from all obligation to a law which
makes him each ; but he is called upon by crery
principle of right and humanit-y, to arise is the high
born spirit of his snanhotaliand hurl hack, in the
face of his foul oppressor. the chains and shackles
with which he s•ould enthrall him. * *

Fugitive Slave Law—a life Sacrificed
Lora, (N. J.) Oct. 8
To the Editor of the Tribune :—.l. have
just been informed of a melancholy catastru-
phe arising out of the operation of this infa
mous bill—which occurred in the v:ll t ze of '
Acquackatick on Saturday evening last,. The
I particulars, as far as I could learn, are as fol
: lows: A theft had occurred in the village ; a
free black man, a resident, was accused of the
1 act—a warrant was taken out against him;
; two constables who had gone to his house to
I take him prisoner, found that he had gone
i
off up the river; they 11/flowed after anti met
1 him returning on horseback. By this tine
lit was dark: The constables attempted to
Iseize him; the poor fellow (-upposing they
were kidnappers) jumped from his horse and
I bed home. The constables we to his house
to seize him, when, -still laboring under the
t .
1 s a me impression, he attacked them with a
k!,ife, d,tirmined to die rather than be t4en
'to Slavery. He so severely wounded one of
the constables in the neck with the knife;
1 that he is not expected to live. Subsequent
ly it was roved_ that he was at home when
the th e ft took place and had no ;hand in it
whatever. He also stated that, if the con
stables had told Lim ' for what they were
seizing him, he would have made no resist
ance. The colored people •a7e under such
terror, from the fact that they ct . aliso easily
be seized under this atrocious law, that they
will be likely, in defending themselves, to be
the means of shedding blood. Liberty is as
dear to the black as to the white man, and
tip former has as good a right to it.too. /

Becroft, a daring and ittelli?.ent, English
Voyager, has } - hares agodissipated the 'delu
sion that the aitcrior of Africa is a desert
waste." lie has shown that it is aeeessii4e
to navigation and trail k; . that the climate
is as healthy as that of the tropics generally
that there are regions of lyeantirlil ant fry
,tilc country, affording opportunities for legit
imate commelee of indefinite extension. This
adventurous - traveler explored the rivet
fot ty miles 'of Timbueo. llc has
thrown light on thousands of utiles of iield3
fertile and wooded country, watered 0)' that
great stream ; and upon the ivory, v-zetat,:e
vipers, ,tool
f aint oil, 41 Ve Nvaotti, timber woods, skins. and
a oTeat variety of prOduce, which invite the
trade. To tarry on this trade id.the vessels
which navi9,ate the river it iS necessary to
have black crews.--The Londoil Spectator
remarks: "Of course the free blacks, edu.
eated in the • West India trade, will ,become
workmen in penetrating .. the native
land of their ram We must depbrid at,least
for generationstotnme, on the blaek race to
the bulk of the crews. For our own part
we do not see why our own country Fhoold
not compete with Britain for the rich trale
of Africa ; Nor do we know any, more effi
cient method of competitiou.than the pro
posed line of steamers.,
