The Fugitive Slave Bill.
ITS C oNSTIT I' J'ion A LIT V.
Tho Washington Republic of the 17th
¡.'iiblished tho opinion of the Attorney Gen-
crol, John J. Crittenden, on the constitu-
tionality of tho Fugitivo Slave law. It is
doited September 18th, and is addressed to
the President. It appears, therefore, ill it
before uflixing his signature to the bill Mr.
Fillmore submitted it to fhc Attorney Gen-
eral, with notes of the particular points to
which his attention was requested. The)
nro the same which are set forth at the abo-
lition meetings in tho N >rth, and preached
by abolition parsons and electioneering de-
(ii tgogues, in opposition to the enforcement
of tho act as unconstitutional.
Mr. Crittenden shows that thero is^no
difturonco whatever in principio between
the new law and that which was passed in
171)3, and has boon in force since. That
law having proved inefficient in its details,
this has been passed to remedy delects and
accomplish tho same objects mure cflectu-
iillv. In respect to constitutional provisions
it is "identical." It authorizes the like ar-
rest of the fugitive, the like trial, tho like
judgment, tho liko certificate, with the liku
authority to the owner by virtue of that
certificate, as his warrant to remove the
slave to the State or Territory from which
lie escaped. "Anil," tho Attorney Gener-
al adds, "the constitutionality of that act
(171KJ) has been confirmed by the adjudi-
cations of Statu tribunals, and tho courts of
tho United Stat p, withn.it a singlo dissent." ¡
The special point upon which the Presi- j
dent nsktid the opinion of the Attorney
General is whether the writ of /tabea* cor-
pus is not suspended in the bill, in violation
i>l tli'? constitution. The following is that
|>:ri ol the si.xtli section out of which the
question arises:
The certili ¡tes in this and the first sec-
tion ni' iilioned shall be conclusive of the
right o: tli" poison or parsons, in whoso la-
vor gr nted, to remove such fugitive to tho
State or Territory from which lie escaped,
unit .shall prevent all molestation of such
person or persona by any process issued by
any court, judge, magistrate or other per-
son whomsoever.

Mr. riiomas, ot Uro.m* villi, wlio arriv-
ed here a lew days since, gives • I. • #1-
lowing mu: unit ot a s ipp .s, d ludí • n o it -
rage : 11 S,1 s that about ten miles the ill
or side o| the Hub .do, on the upper M ta-
in ras road, some ninety ini.es truni tin.-
place, lie discovered near the road tho frag-
ments of a wagon, which had been ¡initial-
ly destroyed, tiy fire. There were three
trunks and a tuol-cllost near tile spot. Om-
ul the trunks was marked with tho name of
Joii.m lloKTo.'v. Tli ro wore two in.truss-
es, the covering being removed, and nun
uants of female clothing scattered about.—
This, together with other evidences, led
our informant to the eonelusion that a fam-
ily moving to Urownsville, had been en-
camped there, and were destroy ed by In-
dians. A large trail was discovered lead-
ing from the encampment, in a northwest
direction. He further states, that from the
appearances, he should judge th it some five
or six weeks had elapsed since this occur-
rence had taken place, and not less th n
one hundred horses, from tho size of tho
trail, composed the party. We givo the
above information, believing that it will
lead to further development of this myste-
rious afluir.—Nueces Valley.
Fugitive Slave Cask.—Groat excite-
ment was caitscd in Philadelphia, en the
17th instant, by the arrest of a negro named
llenry G .rnett,claimed as a slave by Tlios.
P. Jones, of Cecil county, Maryland. The
Philadelphia Bulletin says:
The slave was attended yesterday after-
noon, and again this morning, by a commit-
tee of the old Pennsylvania Society lor
Promoting the Abolition of Slavery. This
committee, on hehull of the society, dis-
claimed any intention of producing excite-
ment or tumult in retercncc to the new
slave law. They staled to the court th l
the society h id already held meetings for
the purpose of allaying the excitement
among the colored popul ilion, gr iwing out
of the passage of ill.'1 law, and tli .t llie so-
ciety h id propared an address to tho friends
of abolition, as well as to the colored race,
urging them not to be led into acts of nriri-
ep hostility to the law. The judge highly
commended this course, and suid it was just
such an act as lie would have expected from
the worthy gentlemen connected with tho
old Pennsylvania Society, many of whom
it was his pleasure to be acquainted with.
Hugh W. Toner appeared for the claimant,
mid the judge acted as the Commissioner
himself, as this is the first case under the
lnw.
As a rescue had been threatened by tho
colored friends of the prisoner, Judge Grior
made use of some emph aic language in re-
gard to such a contingency. The llullctin
thus rep'oiis the remarks:
Judge Grier reiterated the views he de-
livered yesterday in relation to all attempt-
ed rescue, and further said that lie would,
for the purpose of carrying out llm requir -
tn"nts of tii-' law, even send to the Pri .-i-
ilenl of III'" United Stales for a th ns .nd
iro ips, if necHss-T'., and if rin-ul resM ri.o
should he offered, he would execute tli law

hoard that the c.\er>j,j0 (Jf dmi legislative
fwwer was any cncrutwinii^nt upon or sus-
pension of tho privilegoof the habeas cor-
pus. It is only by some lonl'usion of ideas
llnit such rt c*inflict cun hc<iup|>oscd to ex*
ist. It is not Within the province or privi-
lege of tliis great writ to loose those whom
tho law has bound. That would i.e. to put
n writ granted by law in opposition to the
law—to make one purl of tho lnw destruc-
tive of another. This writ follows the law
ami obeys the law. It is issued upon prop-
er complaint, to multo inquiry into the
causes of commitin ¡nt or imprisonment, and
its solo remedial puwui mid puipoae Is 10
deliver tho party from "all manner ol ille-
gal confinement." (3 Bl tclt. Com., 131.)
If upon application to the court or judge for
this writ, or if upon its return it sii ill ap-
pear that the confinement complained of
was lawful, tho writ in tho first instance
would be refused, nnd in tho last the party
would be remanded to his furmor lawful
custody.
The condition of one in custody ns a fu
gitive slnvo under this lirw, so far as rc-
spocts the writ «(-habeas corpus, is precise-
ly the samo as that of all other prisoners
undor the laws ol the United States. Tho
privilegoof that writ remains alike to nil ol
them, but to be judged of, grnntod or refus
cd, discharged or enforced, by the proper
tribunal, according to tho circumstances of
cach case, nnd as the commitment and de-
tention mny nppenr tobo legal or i'lrgul
Tho whole effbet of tho law may lie thus
briefly stated. Congress Iris constituted n
tribunal with exclusive jurisdiction to de-
termino summurilv, nnd without appeal,
who aro fugitives from service or labor,' un-
der the secoud section of tho fourth article
of tho constitution, and to whom such ser'
vico or labor is due. The judgment of eve-
ry tribunal of exclusive jurisdiction, where
110 nppenl lies, is of necessity conclusive
upon «II tribunals. Wherever this judg-
ment is made to appear it is conclusive of
tho right of th« owner to retain in his cus
tody tho fugitive from his scrvicc, and to
the two hemispheres. Il is st led that thu
government have in contemplation tho con-
struction of a powerful squadron of steamers
for the African coast, with tho view of em-
ploying them to carry a monthly mail and
to act upon the slave preventivo service.
The Tenan' League are extending their
organiKition throughout every town nnd

pression among well informed persons out

chinery of llie Lengito will ultimately lead
to its own destruction. Tho movement is
regarded by government with considerable
apprehension.

A Noulk Sentiment.—Henry A. Wise
in his late Address on tho .subject of Educa-

Hope, and Charity,nnd you may turn thorn
