was carried almost to' the point of bloodshed.
Indeed, as , in the case of Batehelder, at Bos

'to the 'abolition DefOloch,and this;' notwith,
standing the' oppressive law had the sanction
of . the highest legal. authority, the
.Supreme

all .notorious, Yet in 'this later derthe' same
now are found contending' against the enact:-
Mint of personal liberty Jaws. The reason is
apparent... The aggrieved individuals now-a-,
days are not negroes—nothing. bat white men;
which makes vast different: • We notice, how
ever, that in New JerSey there is a dispositioti
to. look at the subject in'anoiher.light, The
Trenton.Trile American says: 7 -It has become
.necesiary to take :some, measure to put a 'stop
to the practice, not irf accordance with any bat
in .defiance of all law, of" iiidnapping, white
citizens, hurrying
.them beyond their States,
and shnttitig them np. in military- fortresses.
• In Order.to prevent these bighandettoutrages
it -is suggested. that soine'acoion betaken by
the Legislatures haying anti-abolition majori
ties Which shall secure to, every; citizen the
riglAs to 'which lhe law enfitless him--not
