There aro some Northern men with constitutional principles. Tho case now in point is that of lion. Cai.ku Ctsiuxo, formerly n member of I>rosidci>t I'ibkce's cabinet, lie is now a in aiber of the Massachusetts State Senate. Recently, during the session of the Legislature of that State, a bill was introduced with this provision : " Whoever shall arrest, imprison, or carry out of this Common wealth, or shall attempt to arrest, imprison, or carry out of this Commonwealth, any person for the alleged reason that such person owes service or labor, as a slave to the party claiming him. shall be punished by imprisonment, in the State Prison, not exceeding five years."" . The passage of such a law would not only bo unconstitutional, but would nullify the fugitive slave law cnactctl by Congress. After much discussion, iu which Mr. Ccswing distinguished himsolf, the Legislature,laid the bill on the table; although the black republicans have in tlmt body an overwhelming majority. Too much honor cannot be award d to Mr". Cusrrivo fur his able, bold, uml manly efforts in this behalf.
