Listen, my children, and you slinll heir Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, On th« eighteenth of April, in Seventy-Five Hardly a man is now alive Who remembers that famous day and year. Be said tohia friend,—"if the British march By land or sra from the town to-night, Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch Of the North Church-tower, as a signal light One if by land, and two if by sea; And I on the opposite shore will be, Ready to ride and spread the alarm Through every Middlesex village and farm, For the country folk tobe up and arm." 'hen he said good night, and with muffled oar iilently rowed to the Charlestown shore, u«t as the moon rose over the bay, Where swinging wide at her moorings lay The Somerset, British man-of-war: A phantom ship, with each mast andspar Across the moon, like a prison bar, And a huge black bull, that was magnified By its own reflection iu the tide, ileanwhile.his friend, through alley and street, Viiiulers and watches with eager ears, ill in tiie silence around him he hears he musterof men at the barrack door, he sound of arms, and the tramp of feet, _^nd themeasured tread of the grenadiers Marching down to their boats on the hhore. Then he climbed to the tower of the church, Up the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread, To the bel fry-chamber overheard, And staried the pigeons from their perch On the somber rafters, that round him Masses and moving shapes of r hadc— Up the light ladder, slender and tall. To the highest window in the wall, Where he paused to listen and look down A moment on the roofs of the town, And the moonlight flowing over all. Beneath, in thechurch yard, lay the dead In their night-encampment on the hill. Wrapped in silence so deep and still, Thai he could hear, like a sentinol s tread, The watchful night wind as it went Creeping along from tent to tent, And seeming to whisper, "All is well I" A moment only he feels the spell Ot the place and thehour the secret dread Of the lonely belfry and the dead; For suddenly all his thoughts are bent On a shadowy something far away, Where the river widens tomeet the bay— A line of black, that bends and floats On the rising tide, like a bridge of boats. Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride, Booted and spurred, with a heivy sride, On theopposite shore walked Paul Kevere. Now he patted his horse's side. Now gazed on the landscape far and near. Then impetuous stamped the earth, And turned and tightened his saddle girth; But mostly he watched with eager search The belfry tower of the old North Church, As it rose above the graves on the bill, ' onely, and spectral, and somber, and still. And lo! as he looks on the belfry's height, A glimmer, and then a gleam of light 1 He springs to the saddle, the bridle be turns, But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight A second lamp in the belfry burns I A hurry of hoofs in the village street, A shape in the moonlight, a bulk to the dark, And beneath from the pebbles, in passing, a spark truck out by a steed that flies fearless and fleet ; That was all ! And yet, through the gloom and the light he fate of a nation was riding that night; And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight, indled the land into flame with its heat. It was twelve by the village clock, When he crossed the bridge into Medford town, He heard the crowing of the cock. And the balking of the farmer's dog, And felt ihe damp of the river fog, That rises when the sun goes down. It was one by the village clock, When he rode into Lexington— He saw the gilded weathercock Swim in the moonlight as he passed, And the meeting house windows, blank and bare. Gaze at him with a spectral glare, As if they already stood aghast At the bloody work they would look upon. It was two by the village clock, When he came to the bridge in Concord town. He heard the bleating of theflock, Axd the twitter of birds among the trees, And felt the breath of the morning breeze Blowing over the meadows tirown. And one was safe and asleep in his bel Who at the bridge would be first to fall, Who that day would be lying dead. Pierced by a British musket-ball. You know the rest. In the books you have read How the British regulars fired and fled— How the farmers gave them ball for ball, From behind each fence and tarm yard wall, Chasing the red-costs down the lane, Then crossing the fields to emerge again Under the trees at the turn of the road, And only pausing to fire and load. So through the Dight rode Paul Revere; And so hrough the night went his cry of alarm To every Middlesex village and farm— A cry of defiance, and not of fear— A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door, And a word 'hat shall echo foreverrnorel For borne on the night-wind of the past. Through all our history to the last, In the hour of darkness, and peril and need, The people will waken and listen tohear The hurrying hoof beat of that steed, And the midnight message of Paul Revere. TOM 3VC-A-CJ3OJSTOXJO-H, The Press Gang's Victim, A SEA SKETCII. Some time during the month of June, 1809, the American Brig Sarah, of and from Norfolk Va., entered the port of Liverpool with a full cargo. She was LADIES SUPPLYING FORT SOMPTER— A letter to the ICharleston Mercury says : " Through the courtesies of the authorities, certain ladies have been permitted to visit their friends at Fort Sumpter. Nobody supposed that this privilege would beabused, but it seems we have been rnistakened. More than a fortnight ago, one of these la- dies was heard to boast that she had rendered important services to that garrison, by smuggling in for their uso, a box of candles, and sorao other little articles, that could bo readily concealed under the present capacious style of dress. I am sorry to find a confirma- tion of this in the recent letterof Oapt. Doubleday, and I refer to the incident merely tocaution the authorities hero how they permit- the visits of ladies to Fort Sumpter." A SOUTHERN SYMPATHIZER SHOT DEAD IN OHIO.—The Zanesville Courier of the 1st inet. contains the particulars of the shocking murder of Wm Wilkins, a few days previous, at Sewellsville, Belmont county, Ohio. The murdered man was engaged in a heated discus sion of the national troubles, during which he earnestly sided with the South, and, exhibiting a pistol, ex- pressed his willingness to fight for her. One of his c'ornpanions, who had lakon part in the discussion, requested Wilkins to let him see the pistol, and, upon hip compliance with the request, remarked that, if those were Wilkins' sentiments,, it was as good a time now as any other j to make a commencement, and, placing the weapon at the breast of the latter, fired, the ball entering tho heart and killing him instantly. No arrests were made. e is a beautiful night, in which, as some stars go down, others rise. commanded by Captain William Brown, and his first mate was Tom Maodouougu; a true hearted Yankee who hailed from somewhere in the little State of Dela- ware. After the brig had been duly entered at tho Custom Honse she was soon cleared of her cargo, and within one week after her arrival she was loaded for homo. One pleasant evening, the one prece- ding the day on which the brig was to sail, Tom Slacdonough took a stroll up town. He had bfen up as far as the Ex- change, and was returning by way of the docks, when he was accosted by a man who appeared to be a citizen. "Good evening, stranger." "The same to you" replied Tom, never once mistrusting that there was harm in the way. Do you belong to any of the vessels now in the river?" asked the other as he a somewhat scrutinizing glance over the somewhat rough habiliments of the American sailor. "Yes; I belong to the American brig Sarah." "No—no; that wont do." "What won't do?" asked Torn not i ittle amazed at the remark. "O, I know you," returned the stran jer. "You are a deserter from the frig ate." As he spoke he placed a small whistle o his mouth, andin a moment after its hrill note had cut the air, six marines arne rushing out from a tap room close ,t hand, and at a motion from the stran- ger, they seized hold of Tom and made £ia prisoner. Invain was it that Tom protested that he was second incommand of tho Sarah, and in vain that he threat- ened vengenance. But against the power of six stout fellows he could make no ef- fectual resistance, and so he was taken along to the naval landing, where five other prisoners—all victims ofthe press gang—were awaiting their embarkation. A boat was in waiting, in command of a lieutenant, and into it went Tom with the rest of the unfortunate seamen, and in less than half an hour he found himself on board an English frigate which lay at the mouth ofthe river. "A fine set of men," said the English captain as he ran his eyes admiringly over the stalwart forms of the impressed seamen. "They will'jast fill up the list, of main-top-men." "Are you the commander of this fri- gate?" asked Tom, addressing tho man who had just spoken. "Captain Downie, at your service," re- plied the commander with mock gravi "Then, sir, of you I demand mj im- mediate release; I am second in com- mand of an American brig, now ready for sea, and no power in England canle- gally detain me." "That won't go down, youngster," re- turned the captain, with a sneer; "you are a little too young for such an office. The King needs men, and you must take your chances with the rest." "Do you mean to say that I am to be detained on board your ship?" "Certainly." "Then, sir," replied Tom, while his eyes flashed fire; you will do it at your peril. Already have your people run up a heavy reckoning and the day will yet come when your King will have to settle it. I amexempt hy your own laws from impressment, andyou knowit." The captain showed a little anger as our hero spoke, but turning to one of his lieutenants, he said: "Mr. Mouson, have these men's names entered, and then station them and mtsss them;" and without further remark he walked aft to his cabin. Ina moment Tom's mind was made up, and without resistance or remark of any kind, he al- lowed his name to be entered on the pur- ser's books, and hii station and mess to be assigned him, after which his ham- mock and bedding were directed to ''turn in" as soon as possible. The frigate was guarded with sentries, there being two upon the poop, one at each gangway, one at the fore-castle, andone at the bow- sprit, besides those that were stationed at the various ports below: so that no further notice was taken of the new comers, after they had received their bed- ding, except to give the sentinels addi- tional caution with regard to watching well that no one left the ship unless he was passed bythe officer of the deck. Tom's hammock was already cleared, and having hung it up, he turned into it without undressing. The night was warm and sultry, and as a means of giving a circulation of fresh air, tho gun deck ports were lowered, and from tho place in which our hero swung, he could look out upon the water as it sparkled beneath the beams of the bright moon. Tom lay quietly until midnight; but as yet he co'ld think of no means of esoape. Shortly after that hour had passed he heard the relief guard called, and in about ten min- utes the corporal of the first guard came down upon the gun deck and uulashed the hammock which hung next to his own; which operation being performed, he proceeded to undress himself, hanging his clothes as he did so upon the clews of his hammock. The four hours' duty had given the corporal an excellent appetite for sleep, and in less than five minutes after he touched his mattress ho began to snore. "Now, or never," thought Tom, "is my chance;" andwith this idea in his mind, he slipped quietly lroni his hammock, and proceeded to divest himself of his clothes, which being accomplished, he very uncer- imoniously substituted those of the snor ing corporal in their place and then sat dowu upon the breech of a guu to medi- tate further upon his plans. One bell struck, and the sentinels pass- ed the usual "all's Well." Then Tom heard the corporal, as he started to go on his rounds, and ere long he descended the main hatch ladder to visit tho post below. No sooner had the marine officer passed beyond the galley, than our hero sprang up the ladder and gained the spar deck. The officer of the dock was aft upon tho star board side; the sentries were walking their posts with regular tread while the old quarter-master stood ings, and tho running forward from th ladders. Tho starboard gangway wn shaded from the light of the moon by th awnings; and walking deliberately up th ladder, Tom looked over the ship's side. ''Sentry," said he, ina mumbling sor of a tone; "what boat is that at th boom?" "The second cutter," returned tho ma rino, showing by his manner that he hai no suspicions of the spurious sentinel. Tom immediately walked aft towhen stood the officer of the deck, and being quite assured of the mistake of the sen- try, he pulled his cap down over his eyes and touching his visor respectfully re marked, "I should like to overhaul tha second cutter, sir ; for I think there i; rum aboard of her." Tom knew he was playing a desperati game, but liberty was to be the result of success, and he flinched not a hair. Ha, the villians I" uttered the lieu- tenant. " Up to their old tricks again Go down corporal, get down into the boat, and if you dofiudrum in her they'll catch it." Tom started quickly forward, but just as he got abreast of thoforo hatchway he saw tho simon pure corporal's head rising above the combings. The marine ascended no higher ; for with one blow of his fist Tom sent him back from whence he came, and then sprang quickly out through the port upon the swinging boom, and having reached the place where the second cutter's painter was made fast, he hauled the boat up and jumped into her. Thefloodtide was setting up the river strongly ; and quick as thought, Tom cut off the painter and rapidly dropped down the stream. "Help! help!'' shouted our hero at the top of his voice. " The boat's got loose." " Get out a couple of oaM, you lub- ber,'' cried the officer of the deck as he jumped upon the poop, upon hsaring the cry, where ho arrived just as the cutter was sweeping past the quarter. " You can hold her against the tide." Tom did get out a couple of oars : but the moment he got them balanced in the row-locks he commenced pulling for dear life, and to the utter consternation of the lieutenant, the boat began rapidly to shoot up tho river. All the sentries on deck were immediately called upon tho poop, and their muskets were fired at the de- serter, but although two balls whistled near the boat, yet none of them did any harm; and onthe next moment Tom heard the third cutter called away, but he knew the men were all sound asleep in their hammocks, and so he felt secure It was ton miuutes before the third cutter cast off from the Bhip, andlong ere they reached Tom he had gained the shore, and was running at a remarkable speed to- wards the city, which he reached in safe- ty, andbefore two o'clock he reached his own brig. The next morning the Sarah dropped down with the ebb tide, and as she passed the frigate, Tom saw the second cutter swing in her usual place, as he gazed upon the proud flag that floated at the Englishman's peak, he murmured to him- self. " If I live I'll some day take tho pride from these proud tyrants.'' How literally was that saying fulfilled. Tom JVIacdonough had beeu Decatur's fa- vorite midshipman at the siege of Tripoli, and wherever Decatur led, he daredto follow Subsequent to that brilliant chap- ter in tho page of our history, occurred the event which is embodied in our sketch; butfiveyears afterwards, on the 11th of September, 1814, Thomas Mac- donough met one of England's proud fleets on Lake Champlain. At the first broadside the English Commodore, Dow- nio, fell, andat the end of a fight which lasted two hours and forty minutes with- out intermissiou, Commodore Thomas Macdonough was the conqueror of Cham- plain. He had gained a proud victory ; he had indeed humbled the pride of the tyrant ; and that day's achievement form one of the brightest pages in the history of America. Commodore Thomas Macdinough the hero of Tripoli—the conqueror of Champlain ; he was a noble, true-hearted nan, and a terror to all enemies of his country. Peace to his ashes and ever- lasting honor to his memory. BRAVERY OF'THE YOUNG QUEEN or NA- PLES.—A correspondent writing from Gaeta, says that the young wife of Francis II is always to be seen in the place of greatest danger- During the bombardment of the 24th and 25th of December two officers ofthe household were killed in tho very room in which she was sitting, by an explosion of a shell. Although the danger was immi- nent the Queen did not stir from her chair, and gave orders for the removal of the dead bodies in the coolest possi- ble manner. The Spanish Minister had also a narrow escape, for as he was ly- ng in bed he received the rather un- pleasant visit of a round shot, whioh smashed tho wash-stand opposite.

Minority Report of the House Jud ; ciary Committee on the Personal Liberty Laws- The minority of tho committee on tho Judiciary, towhom \v;is referred petition* for the repeal of tho Personal Liberty laws, so called ; also, a bill to repeal sections two, throo and four of an act entitlod an act to protect the rights and liberties of the inhabitants of this Slate, approved February 13? 1855 ; also, a bill to amend section25 of chapter 150 of tho Revised Statutes of 1840, being sec. 5,735 ot the Com- piled Laws, as amended by aot No. 189 of the Session Laws of 1859, re- port as follows: That they have been disposed to give the subjeet referred tothem that seri- ous consideration which belongs to it under tho circumstances in which it is now presented, and while tho under- signed regret that tho repeal or non- repeal of theso laws has boen, as we believe, most unwarrantably sought by some to be made a question of party. we shall not be deterred by any such considerations from meeting tho ques- tion upon its merits. If these laws are to be repealed, it must be either because they contravene some provision of tho constitution of the United States or of the State, or because they are inexpedient and un- wise, or wrong in their spirit aod tea- deDcy. On page 413 of the laws of 1855, act No. 1U2, we find ' An act to protect the rights and liberties ofthe inhabitants of this State,' tho first section of which makes it the duty of the Prosecuting Attorney of each county, when any in- 'labitant of this State is arrested or ilaimed as a fugitive slave, on being nformed thereof, diligently and faith- ully to use all lawful means to protect ind defend such person. To this pro- vision, in itseif considered, we do not ee that any constitutional or other ob- ection can be fairly made. It is no noro than a humane provision to pro ,ect the rights of those who may be un- awfully arrested. The next three sections provide that all persons so arrested and claimed as ugitivo slavoa shall beentitled to the refits of the writ of habeas corpus and >f trial by jury ; and thai, if thewrit )f habeas corpus be sued out in vaea- ion, if upon the hearing the person im irisoned, arrested, or claimed as a fu fitive slave shall not be discharged, he hall be entitled to an appeal to the Cir- uit Court of the county in which such oaring shall have bieo had, ip furnish- ng bail, &c,; and that the court to which such appeal shall bo taken, or to vhiob such writ of habeas corpus is re- urnable, shall, on application of either iarty to the proceedings, direct a trial y jury on all questions of fact in issue i such proceedings In tho third subdivision of sec. 2 of rticle IV. of the constitution of the United States, it is provided : '• That o person held to service or labor in ne State under the laws thereof, esca- >ing into another, shall, in consequence f any law or regulation therein, be dis, harged from such service or labor ; but all be delivered up on claim of the par- y to whom such service or labor mai/ be ue, } which provision ot the coostitu- ion Congress intended tocarry out by he act of February 12, 1793, or tshap- er 51 (7,) which provides a mode of naking the claim, and the proof that abor and service is due, and a tribunal iefore which the claim and proof is to >e made, and the provisions of which re sufficiently familiar to make tho ci- ation unnecessary; and still further by he fugitive slave lawof 1850. This institution was adopted but twelve ears after the Declaration of Inde- endence, and at a time when slavery xisted, to a greater or less extent, in 11 the States of the Confederacy, but than many of them were taking steps >r its gradual abolition, to which, as a esired consummation, those eminent atriots and true statesmen of the time, Jeorge Washington. James Madison, nd Thomas Jefferson, labored with an arnest desire to eee accomplished as oon as it could w th safety be done. In many of the State?, however, his could then not be accomplished. ly law of nations, and by common law, he state of slavery is considered as a nere muuieipal regulation, limited to he range of the laws of the jurisdic- ion where it exists ; and no State was ound to reconize the condition of lavery as to foreign slaves found with- its territorial limits. The clause of the constitution above ited became, therefore, A necessary :ondition precedent tothe adherence of hose States to the Union which did ot contemplate, from any cause, ihe peedy abolition of slavery. Now, if this clause, or the laws Kissed by Congress toearry it into ef- ect in pursuance of it, could be rand- red ineffectual or hindered by State egislution, then, so far forth the con- titution would be nullified. In the imguage of Mr. Justice Story, in the aso of Prigg vs. Pennsylvania, 16 'eters' Reports, p. 618, delivered iu 18-12: Firs', because the power exists only by J habeas corpus or on a jury trial, who " The clause manifestly contemplates he existent of a positive unqualified ight onthe part of tho owner of the lave, which no State law can in any vay qualify, regulate, control or restrain. The slave is not to bo discharged from er»ioo or labor in consequence of any State law or regulation. Now, certain- y, without indulging in any nicety of jritioism upon words, it may fairly and reasonably be said that any Statelaw >r State regulation [we are still quoting Judge Story's words] which interrupts, limits, delays or postpones tho rights of the owner totho immediate possession of the slave and tho immediate com- nand of his service and labor, operates pro'anto a discharge ot the slave thore- rom." Congress having undertaken to pro- vide for carrying out this provision of tho Constitution, and its action being*in conformity with tho provisions of the Constitution, as has been repeatedly decided in the State Courts of Massaa chusetts, New York and Pennsylvania, and in every court in tho Ui.ited States whore it has boon called in quostion, it becomes a question how far the States an properly legislate upon the samo ubject It may bo conceded that up- on some subjects Congress has concur- rent power of legislation with the States. But on this subjact of the re- capture of fugitive slaves, it would seem necessary that Congress should possess sole jurisdiction of the subject. virtue of the Constitution ofthe United States, and is there for tho first timo re- eognjzed as an absolute duty through- out tiio ontiro Union. As Mr. Justice Story remarks in the case before refer- red to, " It is, in a just sense, a new and a positive right, independent of comity, confined to no territorial limits, and bounded by no State institutions or policy." Andagain, " Jt would be a strange anomaly and forced construc- tion to suppose that the National Gov- ernment meant to rely for tho due ful- fillment of its own proper rights and duties, and the rights which it intended to secure, upon State legislation, and not upon the Union.' 1 A fortiori, it would bo more objectionable to suppose that a power that was to be the same throughout the Union, should be con- fided to State sovereignty, which could not rightfully act beyond its own ter- ritorial limits. Secondly, tho nature of the power and the objects sought to be attained render it necessary that it should be exercised and controlled by the same will, and that uniform regula- tions should exist over the entire Union. If tho States have the right of Legisla- tion on this subjeot each State will adopt its own policy, prescribe its own rules and forpns, acocordiag to tho feel- ings and perhaps prejudices of its peo pie, and the laws of one State may be in direct conflict with and whollv incon- sistent with those of another. "Wherev- er," says Chief-Justice Marshall in the case of Sturgis vs. Crowningshield, 4 Whcaton's Rep. 122, "the terms in which a power is granted to Congress, or tho nature ofthe power, require that it should be exercised exclusively by Congress, the subject is as exclusive- ly taken from Stato Legislatures as if they had been forbidden to act.' 1 The Supremo Court of the United Suites, therefore, in the case of Brigg VI, Pennsylvania, in 1852, the opinion of tho court being rendered by Justice Story, of Massachusetts, and concur- red in, as to its main conclusions, by Judges Thompson and Baldwin, ail tlirue of whom are departed from the conflicts ot the present day, and by Ctiief Justice Taney, Justice McLean, and Justice Daniel, deeded, on these grounds, that the act of Pennsylvania of 1826, entitled " an act to give ef- fect to tho provisions of the Constitu- tion of the United States relative to fu- gitives from labor, for the protection of free people of color, and to prevent kidnapping," under which Prigg was arrested and indicted, for reclaiming and carrying into Maryland a fugitive slave, under the provisions of the Con- stitution and act of Gongress, without conforming to the provisions of the State law, was unconstitutional and void ; the majority of the court holding that tho power of legislation in rela- tion tofugitives from labor is ezclusica in thu national Congress, and that no Stato <:an pass any law on the subject. In this Justice Story and McLean agree, while Chief Justice Taney and Justice Thompson held that the States m.ght enact laws on this sub- ject which didnot IMPAIR the right, but none which impeded or hindered re capture ; but all agreeing that the points decided do not interfere with the police power of the State to arrest and imprison fugitives from labor, to guard against their depredations or miscon- duct, or to punish thorn for crimes com- mitted iu the States where found.— All the Judges coneurred that the con- stitutional provisions on this subject was a fair compromise, the Southern States agreeing on their part that tho importation of slaves into the United States should be prohibited after 1808. We may remark, in passing, in view of this last consideration, that it behooves the free States to be cautious about in- fringing upon their part of tho bargain. The Supreme Court of the State ot Now York announced the same doc- trine unanimously in 1834, in the case of Jack is. Martin, 12 Wtmdtll's Bep., 312, in whioh tho constitutionality of tho law of that State providing for tho writ de homme replegiando, writ for re- plevymg a man, as against the agent or person claiming a fugitive slave, came directly in question. That court de- clared that the law of the United States enacted toearry out the consti tutional provisions, the Constitution bo- ing conceded to bo supreme, " must bo paramount from necessity to avoid tho contusion of adverse and conflicting legislation ; that so far as the States are concerned, the power, when thus exercised, is then exhausted ; and, though, they might have desired differ erent legislation on the subject, they a?n?nd, qualify., or in any manner alter it ;" that " the principle undoubtedly is essential to tho peace and harmony of the two governments." Our own Supreme Court, six years since, unanimously declared tho'samo doctrine, except that inthat case the power of legislation was concurrent and not exclusive, being not in a slave case, but no less conclusive for that reason on principle. The act of Con- gress of 1S50 provides that mortgages on enrolled and licensed vessels shall be recorded in the effioe of Collector of Customs of the proper district. Thu Stato lawof 1846 provides that all chattel mortgages shall be recorded in the office of the Town Clerk. Tho act of Congress is authorized, as all agree, under the clause in the constitution pioviding that Congress may regulate commerce, &e. The court agreed that the State law, so far as it was inconsist ent with the act of Congrass, must yield. The same principles ara also abund- antly declared invarious cases arising upon statutes on various subjects in the State and United States cours. But it would seem that the plain language of the constitutional provision in question, "That no person held to labor id one State under the laws there- of, escaping into another, shall, in con soquenoo Of any law or regulation there- in, bo discharged from such service or labor," c-.in hardly be mistaken by a candid mind. Now, those sections of tbe statutes of Michigan, of 1855, proposed by the bill rel'enod to the committee tobe re- pealed, provides for a different mode of trial from either of the acts of Con- gress framed in accordance with this constitu'.ionsl provision, and provide, as did the laws of Pennsylvania and New York in the c.isos above referred to, for transferring the case from the au- thorities provided by the; aot of Con- gross to a tribunal of its own. Now, if a fugitive bo discharged under tho had bean taken under the act of Con- gress, is he not discharged from service or labor in consequence of the law of this State into which he has fled ? We think it is clear that he is. The under- signed cannot, therefore, resist thocon- clusion that these sections of tho act last referred to are unconstitutional, and should for that reason, if no other bo repealed. But it has recently boon claimed that this lawwas not enacted for tho pur- pose of preventing or hindering the arrest of fugitive slaves. What else could have been its object, judging from its provisions, its language, and the circumstances? For any other pur- poses of personal liberty, tho punishing of kidnapping of our own citizens, ample provisions were already in our statute book. The known and inevi- table operation of the act, if carried out, must bo to prevent the rendition of fugitive slaves; and we can only judge of the intent of an act by its necessary consequences,, unless the law-makers have olherwi?e specifically declarei their intent. But, in this instance, we are not left wholly in the dark on this point, so far, as the declarations of n committee of the last Legislature on Federal Halations are concerned, when this subject was before them. They in their report that ''Tho act of February 13, 1855, was designed, and if faithfully executed, will accomplish the object'' for which tho petitioners pray in one of the peti- tions referred to thorn, which, as the report states, was for the passage of a law "to prevent tho delivering up of fugitive slaves." [House journal of 1858, p. 527.] There was no other occasion for tho enactment of those sections. It was a fully recognized principle of American as well as En- glish common law that every slave who sets his feet on our soil becomes there by free, and it is only by operation of the clause of tho constitution we have recited, and the law passed in pur- suance of it, that a slave can remain such on our soil, and under that pro vision only when he is a fugitive and reclaimed according to its provisions. Such a law, too. being, as we have shown, wholly unnecessary fer any practical purpose, except it be inten- ded to interfere with the remanding of fugitive slaves, was extremely inex- pedient and unwise in its origin, but under present circumstances, it be- comes, in our judgment, obsinate per- sistence in wrong to retain it on the statute book. We say persistence in wrong, because the provisions of the law we have recited are unconstitu- tional, and because it is wrong to retain an unnecessary law, which is the oc- casion of ill-feeling, discoid and strife both among our own people, and be tween ourselves end sister States of this Confederacy. We, therefore, un- hestitatingly recommend tbatthesecond, third and fourth sections of the aot of 1855, referred ti, be repealed. The amendment made by act 189 of the laws of 1859 to section 25 of chapter 153 of the Revised Statutes provides that every person "who shall bring any negro, mulatto, or other person into the State, claiming him or her as a slave, shall bepunished by im- prisonment in the State Prison not more than ten, years, or by fine not ex- ceeding one thousand dollars. 1 ' This provision, so far as it provides a punishment for an act which in some cases is lawful according to tho clause of the constitution and act of Congress we have referred to, cannot be sus- tained. A fugitive slave from Missouri may be taken in New York or in Ohio, under the aot of Congress, and re- manded, and the usual and natural route for his return would be through this Stato. And, should the person having him in charge, under the certi- ficate granted under the act of Con- gress, bo met by a mischief-maker, of whom there are too rr.any, and asked if the negro was a slave, and should reply affirmatively, ho would thus be claiming him to bo a slave, and, accor- ding to tho plain letter of the law of 185U, above recited, would be rendered liable to its penalties. Suoh a law, according to the principles before ad- duced, ind supported by the oases cited, cannot be cx>nstitutional eo far forth. Hut it is said tho courts would not apply the act to such a case—they would nold thutsueh was not tho intent of tho act. What, then, was its iotent? Tho I'ommon-sense and statutory rule of construction of laws, as laid down in section 3of chapter 1 of the Revised Statutes, being section 2 of tho Com- piled Laws, in the first subdirision of that section, is as follows: "All words and phrases shall bo construed according to the common and approved usage of the language; but technical words and phrases, and such as have acquired a peculiar and appropriate meaning in the law, shall be construed and understood according to such peculiar and appropriate meaning." Such a rulo is necessary for public safety. Tho people at largo are law- yers, and naturally expect and believe that laws they are called upon to obey mean what they express. This rule ha» never been relaxed by the courts of last resort in cases of oonfloit between State and United States laws, and in no otLer case, except occasionally when courta wish to avoid a hard conse- quence of a general rule, and, aa they think, in order to attain justice in a particular cas^, construe a statute to mean what they judgo i: should bo made to moan. Again, there was no occasion for suoh sin amendment to the statute for any other purpose. No one could voluntarily bring and retain a slave in this State by our law as it previously btood. Why, then, attempt to punish as a crime merely toclaim a negro to be a slave when it is impossible to make that claim a reali y without incurring a penalty previously enacted? It has been said that this amendment was mado to avoid the efioet of the principles announced by some of the Judges .of the Supreme Court of the United States in the Dred Scott case, under which it was feared that slavery could boestablished in Michigan, and such seems to have been the motive power applied to tho commute© of this House who, in 1859, reported the amendment iu quostion. [Soo journal of 1859, p. 527.] We do not hold ourselves bound, nor does any court, by the atrocious doctrines so announced by the judges, which wero wholly out- side of tho case before them, or of tbo point upon which they professedly •'1 that case. So far as thu opinions in that case are beyond th* case itself, they wero mero political dooumnnts. We might bo disposed to give them tho weight of opinions of good lawyer?, did they not bear tho ear- marks of partisanship, Bat suppose these opinions to bo law. Then they aro constructions of tho constitution and act of Congress, and, so far as the law of 1859 is opposed to them, it is as unconstitutional as it is in the viewwo havo before taken. Tholaws of the United States must neither be resisted nor nullified in this matter by loyal States. ; It ill becomes ug, who makes charges of nullification and treason agniuss the seceding States, to take such u step. We should clear our owe skirts of all suspicion of complicity with nullifica- tion in the present crisis, and thus take away every just ground of complaint. If, when wo havo done this, our South- ern brethren still persist in their mad schemes of rebellion and civil vsar, we have but to meet the issue like men who dare be free; but until then we cannot do it with clean hands or pure hearts, neither could we indulge the hope that the God of battles would smile upon, our cause. And now, in cDncluding this report, for the sake of confirming tho views we entertained and of satisfying tome who have expressed a desire to know what wero tho opinions of the Judges the Supreme Court of this State on tho subject we have discussed, we will em- body some extracts from letters from three of the gentlemen who occupy, soats on that bench written, to beHire, as private citizens, who havo a right to have, and express their viewn, and which, although not of binding force, aro certainly evidence of their views as lawyers, and entitled to great respect. Chief Justice Martin say«: " I re- gard the law of 1855 both unn-cessary, as the common law affords ample pro- tection to the citizens if illegally arrest- ed, and unconstitutional, as infringing upon the jurisdiction of Congress, which I hold to be exclusive upou tho subject of the arrest and restoration of 'fugitives from labor;' and I regard. that of 1859 as unconstitutional in so "ar as it renders penal, without qualifi- cation, fin act which, inmany cases, is made lawful by the constitu:ion and laws of tho United States, and as cer- tainly contrary to thespirit of tho con- stitution." And, again, ho continues : Why should it bemado a penal of- fenso to merely claim that which it i<» impossible to make effectual without in- quiring a liability already provided tor ? ' And, again : " Tho difference between the nullification of a law of Congress and secession is not so very do that we can with justice condemn, the ono if we are ourselves guilty of the* other. 1 ' Says Judge Campbell, inanother let- ter : " When tho Constitution of the United States places any subject under the control of the legislative or other authority ofthe Union, it is either re- moved entirely from the province o(_ State legislation, or (in cases where oncurrent power may be proper'y ex- ercised,) exempted from the operation of any unfriendly action. When Con- gress has once acted upon such a sub- ject, no Stato can interfere with tho Congressional action." Spa-iking of the case, of Prigg vt Pennsylvania, we have cited, Judge Campbell says : " I think that decision is not only bind- ing, but is right in principle." Again,- he says: Our statutes do not merely legislate upon the saina subjects with, the acts of Congress, but they ar<j plainly inconsistent with those aots. The Constitution plainly, and the aota ol Congress expressly contemplate that a claim tofugitives shall be disposed of more simply and speedily than suits in the ordinary course of legal proceed- ing?, Which may be protracted indefi- nitely. When a fugitive is arrested un- der the act of Congress, no State has ony ight or power to inteifere with the pru- ceediugs. They are under the control, and therefore under the protection, solely ofathe United States; nor ha.s any State the right to interpose obsta- cles in the way ot a lawful arrest, which will vexatioubly delay or impede it." Again, in referring to the claim mada bv some that these laws may be allow- ed to' stand for proper purposes, and that, if void as to others, there is no need of their repeal, ho says that, When a court declares a thing plain-, ly withjn the language of a statute to be exempt from its operation, becauas* if e.nbraced it would render the law un- consti;utional, it is merely a round- about way of declaring that the law is invalid. The moaning of a statute is not allowed to be gathered from outside . sources. Those who adopted it m ly havo differed very widely in their Ytpws, of its effect. It is not to bo presumed . that any honest man would knowing!y violate his oath. And no explanation or declaration, in any form, can alter the meaning which tho words fairly ex- . press." " Should such legislation be permitted to stand ? I think not.— When-attention has boen called to, any existing abuse, those who permit it to , ooutint'e are justly held responsible, in tho eyes of all men, for its further con- tinuance." " To subject the Stato to tho imputation of nulification, is to ex- pose our honor." Judge Christiancy, in another letter on this subject, says : " The abstrao't ques- tion, whether thoso laws are unconstitu- tional, is of no practical importance—it is a mere abstraction ; for such is th.3 pe- culiar nature of the case, that tho practi- cal effect of either construction is the same—the one holding that it does not i a particular provision, the oilier that it does contain that provision, but that such provision is void, and therefore in effect the same as if it had never boon, inserted. But while theso acts rcmaia upon the statute book, unaltered, until decided upon by the court of last resort, they will continue tohavo all the p,r:iofc\- eal effect of unconstitutional laws. They are calculated to create doubts and to lead to litigation. Thair effact is also the same upon tho publio njind, both ad tho. North and at tho South. For tc the r- >;' ular apprehension all laws will be under stood to oporato to their literal extent. And again, the s.amc gontlora.in re- marks:—"In such a contest as that \v.i aro now entering, we should not only bs, but we should a/to appear to be, clearly in the right." Again, in speaking of the act of 1859, he lays : " I cannot doubt that truth, jus- tice, and sound policy equally require that the acts in question should bo so modified as to bri'ig the:n clearly and expressly within the Federal constitution."' Judge Christiancy reaches this conclu- sion by a different road from, the other two Judges from whose letters we havo, extracted, but ho arrives at the samft point—tho repeal or modification of theso laws. These letters, of course, are uot cited as binding authority, but as con- tinuations from a high source of the opin- ions of tha minority of your cp:ri>v:tiV At this point in the report, the minor- ity of vour committee havi ored '

PAUL REVERE'S RIDE.BY H. W. 1.OXGFELLOTV.

Listen, my children, and you slinll heirOf the midnight ride of Paul Revere,On th« eighteenth of April, in Seventy-FiveHardly a man is now aliveWho remembers that famous day and year.

Be said tohia friend,—"if the British marchBy land or sra from the town to-night,Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry archOf the North Church-tower, as a signal lightOne if by land, and two if by sea;And I on the opposite shore will be,Ready to ride and spread the alarmThrough every Middlesex village and farm,For the country folk to be up and arm."

'hen he said good night, and with muffled oariilently rowed to the Charlestown shore,u«t as the moon rose over the bay,

Where swinging wide at her moorings layThe Somerset, British man-of-war:A phantom ship, with each mast and sparAcross the moon, like a prison bar,And a huge black bull, that was magnifiedBy its own reflection iu the tide,

ileanwhile.his friend, through alley and street,Viiiulers and watches with eager ears,ill in tiie silence around him he hearshe musterof men at the barrack door,he sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,

Then he climbed to the tower of the church,Up the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,To the bel fry-chamber overheard,And staried the pigeons from their perchOn the somber rafters, that round himMasses and moving shapes of rhadc—Up the light ladder, slender and tall.To the highest window in the wall,Where he paused to listen and look downA moment on the roofs of the town,And the moonlight flowing over all.

Beneath, in the church yard, lay the deadIn their night-encampment on the hill.Wrapped in silence so deep and still,Thai he could hear, like a sentinol s tread,The watchful night wind as it wentCreeping along from tent to tent,And seeming to whisper, "All is well I"A moment only he feels the spellOt the place and the hour the secret dreadOf the lonely belfry and the dead;For suddenly all his thoughts are bentOn a shadowy something far away,Where the river widens to meet the bay—A line of black, that bends and floatsOn the rising tide, like a bridge of boats.

Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,Booted and spurred, with a heivy sride,On the opposite shore walked Paul Kevere.Now he patted his horse's side.Now gazed on the landscape far and near.Then impetuous stamped the earth,And turned and tightened his saddle girth;But mostly he watched with eager searchThe belfry tower of the old North Church,As it rose above the graves on the bill,' onely, and spectral, and somber, and still.

It was twelve by the village clock,When he crossed the bridge into Medford

A SOUTHERN SYMPATHIZER SHOT DEADIN OHIO.—The Zanesville Courier ofthe 1st inet. contains the particulars ofthe shocking murder of Wm Wilkins,a few days previous, at Sewellsville,Belmont county, Ohio. The murderedman was engaged in a heated discussion of the national troubles, duringwhich he earnestly sided with theSouth, and, exhibiting a pistol, ex-pressed his willingness to fight for her.One of his c'ornpanions, who had lakonpart in the discussion, requested Wilkinsto let him see the pistol, and, upon hipcompliance with the request, remarkedthat, if those were Wilkins' sentiments,,it was as good a time now as any other jto make a commencement, and, placingthe weapon at the breast of the latter,fired, the ball entering tho heart andkilling him instantly. No arrests weremade.

e is a beautiful night, in which,as some stars go down, others rise.

commanded by Captain William Brown,and his first mate was Tom Maodouougu;a true hearted Yankee who hailed fromsomewhere in the little State of Dela-ware.

After the brig had been duly enteredat tho Custom Honse she was sooncleared of her cargo, and within one weekafter her arrival she was loaded forhomo.

One pleasant evening, the one prece-ding the day on which the brig was tosail, Tom Slacdonough took a stroll uptown. He had bfen up as far as the Ex-change, and was returning by way of thedocks, when he was accosted by a manwho appeared to be a citizen.

"Good evening, stranger.""The same to you" replied Tom, never

once mistrusting that there was harm inthe way.

Do you belong to any of the vesselsnow in the river?" asked the other as he

a somewhat scrutinizing glance overthe somewhat rough habiliments of theAmerican sailor.

"Yes; I belong to the American brigSarah."

"No—no; that wont do.""What won't do?" asked Torn not i

ittle amazed at the remark."O, I know you," returned the stran

jer. "You are a deserter from the frigate."

As he spoke he placed a small whistleo his mouth, and in a moment after itshrill note had cut the air, six marinesarne rushing out from a tap room close,t hand, and at a motion from the stran-ger, they seized hold of Tom and made£ia prisoner. In vain was it that Tomprotested that he was second in commandof tho Sarah, and in vain that he threat-ened vengenance. But against the powerof six stout fellows he could make no ef-fectual resistance, and so he was takenalong to the naval landing, where fiveother prisoners—all victims ofthe pressgang—were awaiting their embarkation.A boat was in waiting, in command of alieutenant, and into it went Tom with therest of the unfortunate seamen, and inless than half an hour he found himselfon board an English frigate which lay atthe mouth ofthe river.

"A fine set of men," said the Englishcaptain as he ran his eyes admiringlyover the stalwart forms of the impressedseamen. "They will'jast fill up the list,of main-top-men."

"Are you the commander of this fri-gate?" asked Tom, addressing tho manwho had just spoken.

"Captain Downie, at your service," re-plied the commander with mock gravi

"Then, sir, of you I demand mj im-mediate release; I am second in com-mand of an American brig, now readyfor sea, and no power in England can le-gally detain me."

"That won't go down, youngster," re-turned the captain, with a sneer; "youare a little too young for such an office.The King needs men, and you must takeyour chances with the rest."

"Do you mean to say that I am to bedetained on board your ship?"

"Certainly.""Then, sir," replied Tom, while his

eyes flashed fire; you will do it at yourperil. Already have your people run upa heavy reckoning and the day will yetcome when your King will have to settleit. I am exempt hy your own laws fromimpressment, and you know it."

The captain showed a little anger asour hero spoke, but turning to one of hislieutenants, he said:

"Mr. Mouson, have these men's namesentered, and then station them and mtsssthem;" and without further remark hewalked aft to his cabin. In a momentTom's mind was made up, and withoutresistance or remark of any kind, he al-lowed his name to be entered on the pur-ser's books, and hii station and mess tobe assigned him, after which his ham-mock and bedding were directed to ''turnin" as soon as possible. The frigate wasguarded with sentries, there being twoupon the poop, one at each gangway, oneat the fore-castle, and one at the bow-sprit, besides those that were stationedat the various ports below: so that nofurther notice was taken of the newcomers, after they had received their bed-ding, except to give the sentinels addi-tional caution with regard to watchingwell that no one left the ship unless hewas passed by the officer of the deck.

Tom's hammock was already cleared,and having hung it up, he turned into itwithout undressing. The night was warmand sultry, and as a means of giving acirculation of fresh air, tho gun deckports were lowered, and from tho placein which our hero swung, he could lookout upon the water as it sparkled beneaththe beams of the bright moon. Tom layquietly until midnight; but as yet he co'ldthink of no means of esoape. Shortlyafter that hour had passed he heard therelief guard called, and in about ten min-utes the corporal of the first guard camedown upon the gun deck and uulashedthe hammock which hung next to hisown; which operation being performed,he proceeded to undress himself, hanginghis clothes as he did so upon the clews ofhis hammock. The four hours' duty hadgiven the corporal an excellent appetitefor sleep, and in less than five minutesafter he touched his mattress ho began tosnore.

"Now, or never," thought Tom, "is mychance;" and with this idea in his mind,he slipped quietly lroni his hammock, andproceeded to divest himself of his clothes,which being accomplished, he very uncer-imoniously substituted those of the snoring corporal in their place and then satdowu upon the breech of a guu to medi-tate further upon his plans.

One bell struck, and the sentinels pass-ed the usual "all's Well." Then Tomheard the corporal, as he started to goon his rounds, and ere long he descendedthe main hatch ladder to visit tho postbelow. No sooner had the marine officerpassed beyond the galley, than our herosprang up the ladder and gained the spardeck. The officer of the dock was aftupon tho star board side; the sentrieswere walking their posts with regulartread while the old quarter-master stood

ings, and tho running forward from thladders. Tho starboard gangway wnshaded from the light of the moon by thawnings; and walking deliberately up thladder, Tom looked over the ship's side.

''Sentry," said he, in a mumbling sorof a tone; "what boat is that at thboom?"

"The second cutter," returned tho marino, showing by his manner that he haino suspicions of the spurious sentinel.

Tom immediately walked aft to whenstood the officer of the deck, and beingquite assured of the mistake of the sen-try, he pulled his cap down over his eyesand touching his visor respectfully remarked, "I should like to overhaul thasecond cutter, sir ; for I think there i;rum aboard of her."

Tom knew he was playing a desperatigame, but liberty was to be the result ofsuccess, and he flinched not a hair.

Ha, the villians I" uttered the lieu-tenant. " Up to their old tricks againGo down corporal, get down into theboat, and if you do fiud rum in her they'llcatch it."

Tom started quickly forward, but justas he got abreast of tho foro hatchwayhe saw tho simon pure corporal's headrising above the combings. The marineascended no higher ; for with one blow ofhis fist Tom sent him back from whencehe came, and then sprang quickly outthrough the port upon the swingingboom, and having reached the place wherethe second cutter's painter was madefast, he hauled the boat up and jumpedinto her. The flood tide was setting upthe river strongly ; and quick as thought,Tom cut off the painter and rapidlydropped down the stream.

"Help! help!'' shouted our hero atthe top of his voice. " The boat's gotloose."

" Get out a couple of oaM, you lub-ber,'' cried the officer of the deck as hejumped upon the poop, upon hsaring thecry, where ho arrived just as the cutterwas sweeping past the quarter. " Youcan hold her against the tide."

Tom did get out a couple of oars : butthe moment he got them balanced in therow-locks he commenced pulling for dearlife, and to the utter consternation of thelieutenant, the boat began rapidly to shootup tho river. All the sentries on deckwere immediately called upon tho poop,and their muskets were fired at the de-serter, but although two balls whistlednear the boat, yet none of them did anyharm; and on the next moment Tomheard the third cutter called away, buthe knew the men were all sound asleep intheir hammocks, and so he felt secure Itwas ton miuutes before the third cuttercast off from the Bhip, and long ere theyreached Tom he had gained the shore, andwas running at a remarkable speed to-wards the city, which he reached in safe-ty, and before two o'clock he reached hisown brig.

The next morning the Sarah droppeddown with the ebb tide, and as she passedthe frigate, Tom saw the second cutterswing in her usual place, as he gazedupon the proud flag that floated at theEnglishman's peak, he murmured to him-self.

" If I live I'll some day take tho pridefrom these proud tyrants.''

How literally was that saying fulfilled.Tom JVIacdonough had beeu Decatur's fa-vorite midshipman at the siege of Tripoli,and wherever Decatur led, he dared tofollow Subsequent to that brilliant chap-ter in tho page of our history, occurredthe event which is embodied in oursketch; but five years afterwards, on the11th of September, 1814, Thomas Mac-donough met one of England's proudfleets on Lake Champlain. At the firstbroadside the English Commodore, Dow-nio, fell, and at the end of a fight whichlasted two hours and forty minutes with-out intermissiou, Commodore ThomasMacdonough was the conqueror of Cham-plain. He had gained a proud victory ;he had indeed humbled the pride of thetyrant ; and that day's achievement formone of the brightest pages in the historyof America.

Although the danger was immi-nent the Queen did not stir from herchair, and gave orders for the removalof the dead bodies in the coolest possi-ble manner.

Minority Report of the House Jud;ciaryCommittee on the Personal LibertyLaws-The minority of tho committee on

tho Judiciary, to whom \v;is referredpetition* for the repeal of tho PersonalLiberty laws, so called ; also, a bill torepeal sections two, throo and four ofan act entitlod an act to protect therights and liberties of the inhabitantsof this Slate, approved February 13?1855 ; also, a bill to amend section 25of chapter 150 of tho Revised Statutesof 1840, being sec. 5,735 ot the Com-piled Laws, as amended by aot No.189 of the Session Laws of 1859, re-port as follows:

That they have been disposed to givethe subjeet referred to them that seri-ous consideration which belongs to itunder tho circumstances in which it isnow presented, and while tho under-signed regret that tho repeal or non-repeal of theso laws has boen, as webelieve, most unwarrantably sought bysome to be made a question of party.we shall not be deterred by any suchconsiderations from meeting tho ques-tion upon its merits.

If these laws are to be repealed, itmust be either because they contravenesome provision of tho constitution ofthe United States or of the State, orbecause they are inexpedient and un-wise, or wrong in their spirit aod tea-deDcy.

On page 413 of the laws of 1855, actNo. 1U2, we find ' An act to protect therights and liberties ofthe inhabitants ofthis State,' tho first section of whichmakes it the duty of the ProsecutingAttorney of each county, when any in-'labitant of this State is arrested orilaimed as a fugitive slave, on beingnformed thereof, diligently and faith-ully to use all lawful means to protectind defend such person. To this pro-vision, in itseif considered, we do notee that any constitutional or other ob-ection can be fairly made. It is nonoro than a humane provision to pro,ect the rights of those who may be un-awfully arrested.

The next three sections provide thatall persons so arrested and claimed asugitivo slavoa shall be entitled to the

refits of the writ of habeas corpus and>f trial by jury ; and thai, if the writ)f habeas corpus be sued out in vaea-ion, if upon the hearing the person imirisoned, arrested, or claimed as a fufitive slave shall not be discharged, hehall be entitled to an appeal to the Cir-uit Court of the county in which suchoaring shall have bieo had, ip furnish-

ng bail, &c,; and that the court towhich such appeal shall bo taken, or tovhiob such writ of habeas corpus is re-urnable, shall, on application of eitheriarty to the proceedings, direct a trialy jury on all questions of fact in issuei such proceedings

In tho third subdivision of sec. 2 ofrticle IV. of the constitution of the

United States, it is provided : '• Thato person held to service or labor inne State under the laws thereof, esca->ing into another, shall, in consequencef any law or regulation therein, be dis,harged from such service or labor ; but

all be delivered up on claim of the par-y to whom such service or labor mai/ beue,} which provision ot the coostitu-ion Congress intended to carry out byhe act of February 12, 1793, or tshap-er 51 (7,) which provides a mode ofnaking the claim, and the proof thatabor and service is due, and a tribunaliefore which the claim and proof is to>e made, and the provisions of whichre sufficiently familiar to make tho ci-ation unnecessary; and still further byhe fugitive slave law of 1850. Thisinstitution was adopted but twelveears after the Declaration of Inde-endence, and at a time when slaveryxisted, to a greater or less extent, in11 the States of the Confederacy, butthan many of them were taking steps>r its gradual abolition, to which, as aesired consummation, those eminentatriots and true statesmen of the time,Jeorge Washington. James Madison,nd Thomas Jefferson, labored with anarnest desire to eee accomplished asoon as it could w th safety be done.

In many of the State?, however,his could then not be accomplished.ly law of nations, and by common law,he state of slavery is considered as anere muuieipal regulation, limited tohe range of the laws of the jurisdic-ion where it exists ; and no State wasound to reconize the condition oflavery as to foreign slaves found with-

its territorial limits.The clause of the constitution above

ited became, therefore, A necessary:ondition precedent to the adherence ofhose States to the Union which didot contemplate, from any cause, ihepeedy abolition of slavery.

Now, if this clause, or the lawsKissed by Congress to earry it into ef-ect in pursuance of it, could be rand-red ineffectual or hindered by Stateegislution, then, so far forth the con-titution would be nullified. In theimguage of Mr. Justice Story, in theaso of Prigg vs. Pennsylvania, 16'eters' Reports, p. 618, delivered iu

18-12:

Firs', because the power exists only by J habeas corpus or on a jury trial, who

" The clause manifestly contemplateshe existent of a positive unqualifiedight on the part of tho owner of thelave, which no State law can in anyvay qualify, regulate, control or restrain.The slave is not to bo discharged fromer»ioo or labor in consequence of any

State law or regulation. Now, certain-y, without indulging in any nicety ofjritioism upon words, it may fairly andreasonably be said that any State law>r State regulation [we are still quotingJudge Story's words] which interrupts,limits, delays or postpones tho rights ofthe owner to tho immediate possessionof the slave and tho immediate com-nand of his service and labor, operates

pro'anto a discharge ot the slave thore-rom."

Congress having undertaken to pro-vide for carrying out this provision oftho Constitution, and its action being*inconformity with tho provisions of theConstitution, as has been repeatedlydecided in the State Courts of Massaachusetts, New York and Pennsylvania,and in every court in tho Ui.ited Stateswhore it has boon called in quostion, itbecomes a question how far the Statesan properly legislate upon the samoubject It may bo conceded that up-

on some subjects Congress has concur-rent power of legislation with theStates. But on this subjact of the re-capture of fugitive slaves, it wouldseem necessary that Congress shouldpossess sole jurisdiction of the subject.

virtue of the Constitution ofthe UnitedStates, and is there for tho first timo re-eognjzed as an absolute duty through-out tiio ontiro Union. As Mr. JusticeStory remarks in the case before refer-red to, " It is, in a just sense, a newand a positive right, independent ofcomity, confined to no territorial limits,and bounded by no State institutionsor policy." And again, " Jt would be astrange anomaly and forced construc-tion to suppose that the National Gov-ernment meant to rely for tho due ful-fillment of its own proper rights andduties, and the rights which it intendedto secure, upon State legislation, andnot upon the Union.'1 A fortiori, itwould bo more objectionable to supposethat a power that was to be the samethroughout the Union, should be con-fided to State sovereignty, which couldnot rightfully act beyond its own ter-ritorial limits. Secondly, tho nature ofthe power and the objects sought to beattained render it necessary that itshould be exercised and controlled bythe same will, and that uniform regula-tions should exist over the entire Union.If tho States have the right of Legisla-tion on this subjeot each State willadopt its own policy, prescribe its ownrules and forpns, acocordiag to tho feel-ings and perhaps prejudices of its peopie, and the laws of one State may bein direct conflict with and whollv incon-sistent with those of another. "Wherev-er," says Chief-Justice Marshall in thecase of Sturgis vs. Crowningshield, 4Whcaton's Rep. 122, "the terms inwhich a power is granted to Congress,or tho nature ofthe power, requirethat it should be exercised exclusivelyby Congress, the subject is as exclusive-ly taken from Stato Legislatures as ifthey had been forbidden to act.'1

The Supremo Court of the UnitedSuites, therefore, in the case of BriggVI, Pennsylvania, in 1852, the opinion oftho court being rendered by JusticeStory, of Massachusetts, and concur-red in, as to its main conclusions, byJudges Thompson and Baldwin, ailtlirue of whom are departed from theconflicts ot the present day, and byCtiief Justice Taney, Justice McLean,and Justice Daniel, deeded, on thesegrounds, that the act of Pennsylvaniaof 1826, entitled " an act to give ef-fect to tho provisions of the Constitu-tion of the United States relative to fu-gitives from labor, for the protection offree people of color, and to preventkidnapping," under which Prigg wasarrested and indicted, for reclaimingand carrying into Maryland a fugitiveslave, under the provisions of the Con-stitution and act of Gongress, withoutconforming to the provisions of theState law, was unconstitutional andvoid ; the majority of the court holdingthat tho power of legislation in rela-tion to fugitives from labor is ezclusicain thu national Congress, and that noStato <:an pass any law on the subject.In this Justice Story and McLeanagree, while Chief Justice Taney andJustice Thompson held that theStates m.ght enact laws on this sub-ject which did not IMPAIR the right, butnone which impeded or hindered recapture ; but all agreeing that thepoints decided do not interfere with thepolice power of the State to arrest andimprison fugitives from labor, to guardagainst their depredations or miscon-duct, or to punish thorn for crimes com-mitted iu the States where found.—All the Judges coneurred that the con-stitutional provisions on this subjectwas a fair compromise, the SouthernStates agreeing on their part that thoimportation of slaves into the UnitedStates should be prohibited after 1808.We may remark, in passing, in view ofthis last consideration, that it behoovesthe free States to be cautious about in-fringing upon their part of tho bargain.

The Supreme Court of the State otNow York announced the same doc-trine unanimously in 1834, in the caseof Jack is. Martin, 12 Wtmdtll's Bep.,312, in whioh tho constitutionality oftho law of that State providing for thowrit de homme replegiando, writ for re-plevymg a man, as against the agent orperson claiming a fugitive slave, camedirectly in question. That court de-clared that the law of the UnitedStates enacted to earry out the constitutional provisions, the Constitution bo-ing conceded to bo supreme, " must boparamount from necessity to avoid thocontusion of adverse and conflictinglegislation ; that so far as the Statesare concerned, the power, when thusexercised, is then exhausted ; and,though, they might have desired differerent legislation on the subject, theya?n?nd, qualify., or in any manner alterit ;" that " the principle undoubtedlyis essential to tho peace and harmony ofthe two governments."

Our own Supreme Court, six yearssince, unanimously declared tho'samodoctrine, except that in that case thepower of legislation was concurrentand not exclusive, being not in a slavecase, but no less conclusive for thatreason on principle. The act of Con-gress of 1S50 provides that mortgageson enrolled and licensed vessels shall berecorded in the effioe of Collector ofCustoms of the proper district. ThuStato law of 1846 provides that allchattel mortgages shall be recorded inthe office of the Town Clerk. Tho actof Congress is authorized, as all agree,under the clause in the constitutionpioviding that Congress may regulatecommerce, &e. The court agreed thatthe State law, so far as it was inconsistent with the act of Congrass, mustyield.

The same principles ara also abund-antly declared in various cases arisingupon statutes on various subjects in theState and United States cours.

But it would seem that the plainlanguage of the constitutional provisionin question, "That no person held tolabor id one State under the laws there-of, escaping into another, shall, in consoquenoo Of any law or regulation there-in, bo discharged from such service orlabor," c-.in hardly be mistaken by acandid mind.

Now, those sections of tbe statutesof Michigan, of 1855, proposed by thebill rel'enod to the committee to be re-pealed, provides for a different mode oftrial from either of the acts of Con-gress framed in accordance with thisconstitu'.ionsl provision, and provide, asdid the laws of Pennsylvania and NewYork in the c.isos above referred to,for transferring the case from the au-thorities provided by the; aot of Con-gross to a tribunal of its own. Now, ifa fugitive bo discharged under tho

had bean taken under the act of Con-gress, is he not discharged from serviceor labor in consequence of the law ofthis State into which he has fled ? Wethink it is clear that he is. The under-signed cannot, therefore, resist tho con-clusion that these sections of tho actlast referred to are unconstitutional, andshould for that reason, if no other borepealed.

But it has recently boon claimed thatthis law was not enacted for tho pur-pose of preventing or hindering thearrest of fugitive slaves. What elsecould have been its object, judgingfrom its provisions, its language, andthe circumstances? For any other pur-poses of personal liberty, tho punishingof kidnapping of our own citizens,ample provisions were already in ourstatute book. The known and inevi-table operation of the act, if carriedout, must bo to prevent the rendition offugitive slaves; and we can only judgeof the intent of an act by its necessaryconsequences,, unless the law-makershave olherwi?e specifically declareitheir intent. But, in this instance, weare not left wholly in the dark on thispoint, so far, as the declarations of ncommittee of the last Legislature onFederal Halations are concerned, whenthis subject was before them. They

in their report that''Tho act of February 13, 1855, wasdesigned, and if faithfully executed,will accomplish the object'' for whichtho petitioners pray in one of the peti-tions referred to thorn, which, as thereport states, was for the passage of alaw "to prevent tho delivering up offugitive slaves." [House journal of1858, p. 527.] There was no otheroccasion for tho enactment of thosesections. It was a fully recognizedprinciple of American as well as En-glish common law that every slave whosets his feet on our soil becomes thereby free, and it is only by operation ofthe clause of tho constitution we haverecited, and the law passed in pur-suance of it, that a slave can remainsuch on our soil, and under that provision only when he is a fugitive andreclaimed according to its provisions.

Such a law, too. being, as we haveshown, wholly unnecessary fer anypractical purpose, except it be inten-ded to interfere with the remandingof fugitive slaves, was extremely inex-pedient and unwise in its origin, butunder present circumstances, it be-comes, in our judgment, obsinate per-sistence in wrong to retain it on thestatute book. We say persistence inwrong, because the provisions of thelaw we have recited are unconstitu-tional, and because it is wrong to retainan unnecessary law, which is the oc-casion of ill-feeling, discoid and strifeboth among our own people, and between ourselves end sister States ofthis Confederacy. We, therefore, un-hestitatingly recommend tbatthesecond,third and fourth sections of the aot of1855, referred ti, be repealed.

The amendment made by act 189 ofthe laws of 1859 to section 25 ofchapter 153 of the Revised Statutesprovides that every person "who shallbring any negro, mulatto, or otherperson into the State, claiming him orher as a slave, shall be punished by im-prisonment in the State Prison notmore than ten, years, or by fine not ex-ceeding one thousand dollars.1'

This provision, so far as it providesa punishment for an act which in somecases is lawful according to tho clauseof the constitution and act of Congresswe have referred to, cannot be sus-tained. A fugitive slave from Missourimay be taken in New York or in Ohio,under the aot of Congress, and re-manded, and the usual and naturalroute for his return would be throughthis Stato. And, should the personhaving him in charge, under the certi-ficate granted under the act of Con-gress, bo met by a mischief-maker, ofwhom there are too rr.any, and askedif the negro was a slave, and shouldreply affirmatively, ho would thus beclaiming him to bo a slave, and, accor-ding to tho plain letter of the law of185U, above recited, would be renderedliable to its penalties. Suoh a law,according to the principles before ad-duced, ind supported by the oasescited, cannot be cx>nstitutional eo farforth. Hut it is said tho courts wouldnot apply the act to such a case—theywould nold thutsueh was not tho intentof tho act. What, then, was its iotent?Tho I'ommon-sense and statutory ruleof construction of laws, as laid downin section 3 of chapter 1 of the RevisedStatutes, being section 2 of tho Com-piled Laws, in the first subdirision ofthat section, is as follows:

"All words and phrases shall boconstrued according to the commonand approved usage of the language;but technical words and phrases, andsuch as have acquired a peculiar andappropriate meaning in the law, shallbe construed and understood accordingto such peculiar and appropriatemeaning."

Such a rulo is necessary for publicsafety. Tho people at largo are law-yers, and naturally expect and believethat laws they are called upon to obeymean what they express. This ruleha» never been relaxed by the courtsof last resort in cases of oonfloit betweenState and United States laws, and inno otLer case, except occasionally whencourta wish to avoid a hard conse-quence of a general rule, and, aa theythink, in order to attain justice in aparticular cas^, construe a statute tomean what they judgo i: should bomade to moan. Again, there was nooccasion for suoh sin amendment to thestatute for any other purpose. No onecould voluntarily bring and retain aslave in this State by our law as itpreviously btood. Why, then, attemptto punish as a crime merely to claim anegro to be a slave when it is impossibleto make that claim a reali y withoutincurring a penalty previously enacted?

It has been said that this amendmentwas mado to avoid the efioet of theprinciples announced by some of theJudges .of the Supreme Court of theUnited States in the Dred Scott case,under which it was feared that slaverycould bo established in Michigan, andsuch seems to have been the motivepower applied to tho commute© of thisHouse who, in 1859, reported theamendment iu quostion. [Soo journalof 1859, p. 527.] We do not holdourselves bound, nor does any court, bythe atrocious doctrines so announcedby the judges, which wero wholly out-

side of tho case before them, or of tbopoint upon which they professedly

•'1 that case. So far as thuopinions in that case are beyond th*case itself, they wero mero politicaldooumnnts. We might bo disposed togive them tho weight of opinions ofgood lawyer?, did they not bear tho ear-marks of partisanship, Bat supposethese opinions to bo law. Then theyaro constructions of tho constitutionand act of Congress, and, so far as thelaw of 1859 is opposed to them, it is asunconstitutional as it is in the view wohavo before taken. Tho laws of theUnited States must neither be resistednor nullified in this matter by loyalStates. ;

It ill becomes ug, who makes chargesof nullification and treason agniuss theseceding States, to take such u step.We should clear our owe skirts of allsuspicion of complicity with nullifica-tion in the present crisis, and thus takeaway every just ground of complaint.If, when wo havo done this, our South-ern brethren still persist in their madschemes of rebellion and civil vsar, wehave but to meet the issue like men whodare be free; but until then we cannotdo it with clean hands or pure hearts,neither could we indulge the hope thatthe God of battles would smile upon,our cause.

And now, in cDncluding this report,for the sake of confirming tho views weentertained and of satisfying tome whohave expressed a desire to know whatwero tho opinions of the Judges o£the Supreme Court of this State on thosubject we have discussed, we will em-body some extracts from letters fromthree of the gentlemen who occupy,soats on that bench written, to be Hire,as private citizens, who havo a right tohave, and express their viewn, andwhich, although not of binding force,aro certainly evidence of their views aslawyers, and entitled to great respect.

Chief Justice Martin say«: " I re-gard the law of 1855 both unn-cessary,as the common law affords ample pro-tection to the citizens if illegally arrest-ed, and unconstitutional, as infringingupon the jurisdiction of Congress,which I hold to be exclusive upou thosubject of the arrest and restoration of'fugitives from labor;' and I regard.that of 1859 as unconstitutional in so"ar as it renders penal, without qualifi-cation, fin act which, in many cases, ismade lawful by the constitu:ion andlaws of tho United States, and as cer-tainly contrary to the spirit of tho con-stitution." And, again, ho continues :

Why should it be mado a penal of-fenso to merely claim that which it i<»impossible to make effectual without in-quiring a liability already providedtor ? ' And, again : " Tho differencebetween the nullification of a law ofCongress and secession is not so very

do that we can with justice condemn,the ono if we are ourselves guilty ofthe* other.1'

Says Judge Campbell, in another let-ter : " When tho Constitution of theUnited States places any subject underthe control of the legislative or otherauthority ofthe Union, it is either re-moved entirely from the province o(_State legislation, or (in cases whereoncurrent power may be proper'y ex-

ercised,) exempted from the operationof any unfriendly action. When Con-gress has once acted upon such a sub-ject, no Stato can interfere with thoCongressional action." Spa-iking ofthe case, of Prigg vt Pennsylvania, wehave cited, Judge Campbell says : " Ithink that decision is not only bind-ing, but is right in principle." Again,-he says: Our statutes do not merelylegislate upon the saina subjects with,the acts of Congress, but they ar<jplainly inconsistent with those aots.The Constitution plainly, and the aotaol Congress expressly contemplate thata claim to fugitives shall be disposed ofmore simply and speedily than suits inthe ordinary course of legal proceed-ing?, Which may be protracted indefi-nitely. When a fugitive is arrested un-der the act of Congress, no State has onyight or power to inteifere with the pru-

ceediugs. They are under the control,and therefore under the protection,solely ofathe United States; nor ha.sany State the right to interpose obsta-cles in the way ot a lawful arrest, whichwill vexatioubly delay or impede it."Again, in referring to the claim madabv some that these laws may be allow-ed to' stand for proper purposes, andthat, if void as to others, there is noneed of their repeal, ho says that,

When a court declares a thing plain-,ly withjn the language of a statute tobe exempt from its operation, becauas*if e.nbraced it would render the law un-consti;utional, it is merely a round-about way of declaring that the law isinvalid. The moaning of a statute isnot allowed to be gathered from outside .sources. Those who adopted it m lyhavo differed very widely in their Ytpws,of its effect. It is not to bo presumed .that any honest man would knowing!yviolate his oath. And no explanationor declaration, in any form, can alterthe meaning which tho words fairly ex- .press." " Should such legislation bepermitted to stand ? I think not.—When-attention has boen called to, anyexisting abuse, those who permit it to ,ooutint'e are justly held responsible, intho eyes of all men, for its further con-tinuance." " To subject the Stato totho imputation of nulification, is to ex-pose our honor."

Judge Christiancy, in another letter onthis subject, says : " The abstrao't ques-tion, whether thoso laws are unconstitu-tional, is of no practical importance—it isa mere abstraction ; for such is th.3 pe-culiar nature of the case, that tho practi-cal effect of either construction is thesame—the one holding that it does not

i a particular provision, the oilierthat it does contain that provision, butthat such provision is void, and thereforein effect the same as if it had never boon,inserted. But while theso acts rcmaiaupon the statute book, unaltered, untildecided upon by the court of last resort,they will continue to havo all the p,r:iofc\-eal effect of unconstitutional laws. Theyare calculated to create doubts and tolead to litigation. Thair effact is also thesame upon tho publio njind, both ad tho.North and at tho South. For tc the r- >;'ular apprehension all laws will be understood to oporato to their literal extent.

And again, the s.amc gontlora.in re-marks:—"In such a contest as that \v.iaro now entering, we should not only bs,but we should a/to appear to be, clearlyin the right."

Again, in speaking of the act of 1859,he lays : " I cannot doubt that truth, jus-tice, and sound policy equally require thatthe acts in question should bo so modifiedas to bri'ig the:n clearly and expresslywithin the Federal constitution."'

Judge Christiancy reaches this conclu-sion by a different road from, the othertwo Judges from whose letters we havo,extracted, but ho arrives at the samftpoint—tho repeal or modification of thesolaws. These letters, of course, are uotcited as binding authority, but as con-tinuations from a high source of the opin-ions of tha minority of your cp:ri>v:tiV

cm<r briefly sarao points in that documoht propose to amend the same uo that thewhich we consider most unfairly sustain- P011!llty s l l a 1 1 bo applied only to those whocJ. I t is endeavored by the majority to *h*11' without authority of law, "Ievade- the fall force of the case of Prigg a;i>' ueSr0> mulatto, or other person ofvs. Pennsylvania, by a sweeping assertion color iuto this State, against hia or hertkatalltJUosepoitwiisofthe opinions in will, and shall endeavor to hold him orthat case which apply to the nwttor uow h e r a s a s h v e u l t[lla d t : * t 8 i " «•'>"» amend-i:i issue were mere obiter dicta, or«idlo 1U3 t h e application of the penalty to thegobble of tho judges."

case, certainly seven Judges, possiblynine—though, if Justices Catrou andMcKinley were present, they gave but afsilontassent—agreed iu the main, essen-tial poiut, that ail unfriendly State legisla-tion on the subject of thc restoration orrecapture of fugitive slaves was unconsti-tutional and void. Judge Tancy, it intrue-, hoiiis that the Status may ands'iould pass lifi's to aid and acsist in car-ryi'.ig out the act of Congress, and there-fore, that the power of Congress is not«xslutm.9 But he holds, as do tho wholecourt, that thc State can pass no act toimpede or binder the execution of theprovisions of the Constitution or the lawspassed under it; and this may be seen ata glance by referring to the opinion ofMr. Justice Wayne, on page 636 of 16thvolume Peters' Reports, who sums up theviews of nil his brethren and cosours•« holly with Judge Story.

So, also, t'.io majority attempt to evadethe force of the ease of Jack i\»\ Martin,12 Wendell, by saying that the law ofNew York in review iu that e;ire provi-ded for a repine in, ;u)d not a habeas corpus..But, were it not for the provision of th.;coustitutb:) in question, the replevin wouldbe equally as legal as tho habeas corpusThe opinion of the court in that ease, for I ovation•iiu purpose for which we have before re-ferred to, is too elear a_d decisive to beavoided iu that w.13'.

And then the report lapses into a rbap-aody over the moderation of the Legisla-ture of 1855 i:t not enaotiog a morestringent law, From sucb moderationmay heaven protect us. What kind ofmoderation it WAS tho Committee onSta'e Affairs of this House, of 1859, seemto have been fully aware. 8eo journal,rages 527-3. The ooiamitiee of 1859thought that the law of 1355, if faithful-ly executed, would prevent the deliveringup of fugitive slaves. Now, under theexcitement of the time, perhaps it is notnt-range that gentlemen of that committeewho were uot lawyers should sanctionsuch an intout. liut shall we, ' whoknow the right, still the wrong pursue ?'

The mojority report also takes theground that the fugitive slave act of 18-50is uueoastitutioual in so far a3 it deniesthe writ of habeas corpus But we ask,if this were so, does the law of 1793 al-low the habeas corpus, or do the principlesassumed by any of the seven Judges inPrigg vs. Pennsylvania, under this act, ordo the majority of the committee, nowjfor the first time, decide that act to beunconstitutional, and is not that act inforce still * Aud, in this connection, themajority cite the case of Ableman vs.Booth, 21 Howard, p. 506, as sustainingtheir position, and theu extract from theopinion of the court the following :

We do not question the authority of aState court or judge, who is authorizedby the Lavs of the State to itsao tho writof habeas corpus—to issue it iu any case•where the party is imprisoned within itsterritorial limits, provided it does uot ap-pear, when tbe application is made, thatthe person imprisoned is in custody underthe authority of the United States Thecourt or judge has a right to inquire, inthis mode of proceeding, for what causeand by what authority, the prisoner isconfined within the territorial limits ofthe State sovereignty. And it is theduty of the Marshal, or any other personhaving tho custody of the prisoner, tomake known to the judge or court, by aproper rnturn, the authority by which heholds him in custody. This right to inquirj by process of habeas corpus, andthe duty cf officers to make a returngrows necessarily out of tho complexcharacter of our government, and tho ex-istence of two distinct and separate sov-ereignties within the same territorialspace, each of thorn restricted in its powers, and each, within it3 sphere of action,prescribed by the Constitution of theUnited State.-*, independent of the other.But, after the return is made, and theState judge or court judicially apprisedthat the party is in custody under the au-thority of tko United States, they canproceed no farther. They then knowthat the prisoner is within the dominionasd jurisdiction of another government.

We confess we are only writing froirmemory of what the report contains, aswe heard it read. But allow us to finishtha paragraph, and the majority may havall they can make by the citation. Thcourt proceeds in these words: "Andthat neither the writ of habeas corpus, norany other process, issued under State aulhority, can pass over the lino of division-between the two sovereignties He isthen within the dominion and exclusivejurisdiction of the United States. If hehas committed an offense against then-laws, their tribunals alone can punis!him. If he is wrongfully imprisonodtheir judicial tribunals can release himand afford him redress. And althoughas we have said, it is the duty of theMarshal, or other person holding him, tomake known, by a proper return, the au-thoritv under which he detains him, it i3at the'samo time imperatively his dutyto obey the process of the United States,to hold tha pri.-;o;:er in custody under it,and to refuse obedience to the mandateprocess of any other government. Andconsequently it is his duty not to lake theprisoner, nor suffer him to be taken be-fore a State judge or court upon a habeascorpus issued under State authority. NoState judge or court, after they aro judi-cially informed that the party is imp-i*oned under the authority of the UnitedStates, has any right to interfero withhim, or to require hiin to be brought be-fore them. Aud if the authority of aState, in the form of judicial process orotherwise, should attempt to control thoMarshal or other authorized ofliesr oraguutof the United States, in any respect,in the custody of i.is prisoner, it wouldbo his duty to resist it, aud to call to hiaid any forco that wight be necessary tomaintain tbe authority of law against il-legal interference. No judicial process,whatever form it may assume, eau haveany lawful authority outside of the limitsof the jurisdiction of' the court or judgeby whom it is issued; anJ an attempt toenforce it beyond those boundaries isnothing less thai) lawless violence"

This is thf opinion of the SupremeCourt cf the United States on writ of t.r-yor i# the well known Wisconsin caso.

JOIST RESOLUTIONS,

Providing for the appointment of dele-gates to the Peace Ctmjcreitce ofStales now assembled at Washing-ton.

Whereas, Tho State of Michigan iswilling to meet and confer freely oh alloccasions with the several States of thoUnion upon subjects of general impor-tance, when such conf'eience can promote tbe general welfare of tho coun-try ; and

Whereas, Questions of grave mo-ment have arisen between the differentStates of the Union ; therefore

Resolved, hy the t£inrtt° and House ofRepresentatives, That the Governor ofthis State be and ia hereby authorizedto appoint livo Commissioners to pro-ceed forthwith to Washington and con-fer with the respective Statea or withany association of delegates from sucbStates, and report their doings to thoLegislature at its present session ; itbeing expressly declared that their actsshall be at all times under the controland subject to tho approval of the Leg-islature.

Resolved, That, while we are thuswilling to tnoet and confer with dele-gates from other Status upon questionssigit'.iting and disturbing tbe publicpeace, we bcliovo tiia.t the constitution,if regarded and obeyed, would affordthe surest safeguard against every ap-prehended ovil ; and that, if there ex-ists any real grievance in any section oftho country which it is inadequate toredress, the proper and appropriatemethod is by an amendment theretoaccording to the provisions contained(in article 5) in that instrument itself.

Notwithstanding these resolutionsgave the absoluto appointing of thefive Commissioner.! to the Governor, andreserved to the Legislature, at i spresent session, tho approval of theiracts, it did not satisfy tho radicals;

l The S cnate Committee on PublicLands have reported tho Swamp LandRoad system, provided for by the Legis-lature of 1859, a very extravagant sys-tem. They find from its workings that agreat deal of money is paid out and a,'ery little work done. From tho tables ac-companying their report we find the fol-owing expenditures :

Pur diem of Cuunnissiontrs, $!0,G4B 00Expenses " 1,240 73Unpaid claims of " 1,965 32Expenses of Surveys " 11,008 77TaiJ on Contracts. Often i!l,104 07

Lands 21,008 21These figures show payments to Com-

missioners, Surveyors, &c , of $25,052 82,and on contracts of $42,202 28 ; so thatevery dollars worth of actual labor on theroads and ditches, has cost over fiftycents for preliminary surveys and super-intendence. When this bill passed theSenate it was proposed to amend the titloso that it would read " a bill to provideplaces for hungry Republicans," or some,thing of that sort, which facts provewould have been a fitting title. The Com-mittee recommend a reduction of thenumber of Commissioners, that paymentsbe made only iu Lauds, and that tho pol-icy be abandoned of building roads in ad-vance of settlement, and through unin-habited wildernesses. It is the latterroads that have made such inroads uponthe treasury.

In the process of discussion in theHouse and in caucus, it c.itno out thntGov. BLAIR had received letters fromSenators BINGUAU and CIIA.NDI.EU ur-ging tbe appointment of Commissioners,and that Messrs. CHASE, of Ohio; andFIELD and WADSWORTH, of New Yorkhad telographed.asking that the Senatorsfrom this State be appointed Commis-missioners. It also came out that theseCommissioners were wanted to preventany action ot tbo Poaco Conferencelooking to a peaceful aad amicable set-tlement of tho present difficulties.—There was a probability that the confervativu men in tho Peace Conferencewere in a majority, and that they wouldagree upon a plan of adjustment satis-factory to all the border States, slavoand free, and Commissioners froirMichigan, from ultra-abolitionizod Mich-igan, ultra-abolitionized Commissioners—only another name for disunionists—wero wanted to hold tho balance ofpower, prevent action, and break uptho Conference. It also came out thatthe Michigan members of tho Housewero not ultra enough for this purposothat they wore advising a repeal of thepersonal liberty laws, thai they wero inthe interest of the SEWARD wing, worefavoring an arnica'.le arrangement fortbe preservation of the Union, andwere not to bo trusted to represent inthe Conference the aboIitionized-Repub-lican Stale of Michigan. Messrs. Iiixo-HAM and CHANDLER, of all the Michiganmen at Washington or iu Michigan, en-joyed the full confidence of the ultraists,and must be commissioned to cast fivevotes. And this is thc why of the newact in the farce.

It was disgrace enough in tho firstinstance for Michigan to refuse to appoint Commissioners to tho Conference,to refuse to consult on tho stato of thoUnion, to place herself on the recordby the side of South Carolina, as wanting no peaceful solution of the difficul-ties which darken the national horizon.It was a more damning burden of dis-grace for the Michigan Legislature, atthe moment when the country was ho-ping an agreement of the Conference,to attempt to send n Commission of ul-

to block the wheels, and preventharmonious action. If there ie any re-lief in the picture it is to be foundin the fact that Michigan has but twomen who could be trusted on such anerrand.

This report is an ex partstestimony, taken in secret in my absence, I t is a labored attempt, by in-uendo, and by means of circumstan-ces in tho absence of proof, to fix uponme some undefined complicity with arobbery of tha Government of which Ihad no knowledge until about the timeit was publicly disclosed.

AND BTILL MOHE NOTARIES —On Thursday

of last week the Governor sent into the Sate another batch of Notaries, including thefollowing for Washtenaw: Thomas M. CooleyJameB E. Dennis, John J. (I.) Thompson, andEmanuel Mann.

The few citizens of the County who havenot yet applied for an appointment shouldsend up their names immediately.

A DOUBTFUL COMPLIMENT.—A correspondentof the State News characterize? the mase of'the spectators at the Junior Exhibition onFriday evening laBt, as "aBtiU more numer-ous crowd who came to the performance asthey would go to a menagerie of wild ani-mals." Who is hit—the "crowd" or theJuniors?

tailors and shoe makers who, as they surveyihe aDove mentioned "Junior resplendent in a

new suit, a gorgeous cravat and shiningboo's"—wonder tc!ien the boya will callaal"aettle." But with all candor and freefrom party or fraternal prejudices we wouldtuko the "Ai.eient Orator" of Rome as ourmodel aud criticise all with equal justice-The Junior Exhibition was held on the e^e'ngof Felin the publused a "borrowed hall." The crowded seats,benches, aisles, galleries, windows and lobbyof the Methodist Church, wo urged uponevery one the necessity of an ample buildingfor holding College exhibitions andmencements.

The law of the University requires eachundergraduate to attend daily prayers,our present chapel is too smnll to enforce the law.—

and, it is nigli time that "we lengthened ourcords and strengthened our stakes;" Butthat beautiful chnpel, with its Corinthiancolumns and maible front is only dreamed ofin future, for the "noble tons of noble sires.—After an appropriate prayer by the President,and music from the band; the well known'ancendat' brought before us as the firstspeaker, ALBERT J. CHAPMAN, who treated up-

on •Garibaldi, the type of the Age" The mainidea was—a man's greatness consists in "hisrelation to the spirit of his times, and to histimes, and to his people; what makes hiro aman is his individuality; but separate thesetwo elements, consider the man in the greatman, and the greatest of men appears smallenough." The world pronounces Garibaldi agreat man, a Hira. Mr. C's. style was chaste,but his delivery was somewhat defective andpainful to an ear of tasle, He has a habitof what Cicero denominates—"diat'ncti etinterpuncta intervalla, morae respiration_esque," and would do well to rid himself ofwhat we call "that Ypsilanti tone."

3. ' Active doer, noble liverStrong to I ibor, sure to conquer" was the

subject of H. AUSTIN BUILT, of Detroit. The

speaker began by stating that "We are allcreatures of circumstances," nature impressesupon us its stamp, and as Byron says, " Ilive not in myself but am a part of what isaround me." The main idea advanced was:—we must all be stimulated to action by a lovefor the dissemination of truth, and must notwait for circumstances. His delivery wasagreeable and porsuasiv and hia manner wasgraceful

3. OLIVEE L F. BKOWN-E, of Skaneateles, N".

Y , with the thoughts presented on the subject''Compensation," fulTy compensated all fortheir close attention.

The reward equal to effort is the greatequation of all labor. Increase of strengthis in proportion to healthful action. Historyhag shown us the making of this law of com-pensation. The Crusades had their recompensein the advance of civilization. He must givewho would receive, kindness for kindness,love for love. One true, earnest, workingChristian is productive of more good than allthe infernal machines of evil that have everbeen invented. Mr. B. thew his soul into hispiece, and spoke in an impressive and remarkably earnest manner. Universal judg-ment pronounces this oration the mastereffortof the occasion. The next two orations,

" Mohammed a messenger of Evil" and "Mo-

hammed a messenger of Good," by W M . E AM-

BEI'ST EE, and T, MAESHAIX BAXTER, were dis-

cursory. We would do justice to Mr A. bysaying that he had another oration preparedior the occasion which would have given theaudience a higher opinion of his talents as awriter. As it was, he evinced much talent—earntst and vivacious—pointed and sound inthought—he impressed us with what hemight produce upon a more abtsract themeOur judgment would extend the palm of ex-cellence in subject-matter to tho former, andthat of delivery to tho latter.

6. " Heart Heroism,''— by W. EUGENB NSI-SON, of Poniiac, came next, but the illneas ofthe au.hor deprived us of a treat,

7. " G'id in History," by ALBEET NVE, of

Romeo, A strong subjeot by a strong man.Mr Nye dwelt at length, by au array oichoice historical facts in overthrowing iheidea so universally prevalent in this age olpracticality,—that there is no God aud Di-

vino power permeating all History, liy thispractical Infidelity, the whole history of thepast, and all the experiments that have beenmade for six thousand years lose all their vi-tality, ilad Cicero been prtseut he would haveclassed Mr A among those who speak in alofty style—and who with plenitude andweight of thought—impetuous, versified, fluent and impressive are educated and trainedto convince minds and move them to action.

8. " Authorship as a Profession,"hy CHAS. T.PAKK[EK]3, of Wyandutte. Like Cicero, welave been hunting for that ideal of eloquencewhich Antonius nor any other man never saw.The speaker's Status ercctus et celsus ; rarus

sus; nulla rnollitia cervieum, and the ar-gutiae of his digits and the gentle SWAYIXQ ofhiB " trunco" brought to mind the unheard ofand invisible orator of Cicero.

9. " Demosthenes the type of an Orator," byWM. V. RIOHAEDS. We were really pleasedwi'.h the speaker's treatment of his subject,and would make only one suggestion, that huought to bear in mind that, in the attainmentof the highest excellence in oratory, whereone is overpowered by the magnitude of hiaown abilities, ana is possessed of an over-weening confidence in himself—the highestart is " Ars celare artcm."

10. " The Radical and the Conservative," byEDWIN F. UHL, of Ypsilanti. Space forbids,or we would quote from thiaexoellent speech.Mr. Uhl is a cultivated writer and speaker,and haB the faculty of opening an orationwith an appropriate exordium—then of clear-ly narrating the circumstances—then of ar-guing to the understanding, and lastly of appealing to the feeling3. He knows how tospeak of common things with mpli c ity ;of great things impressively, while he treatsof things neither insiguificant, nor yet of thegravest moment, in a style equally removedfrom the plainest and tho grandest.

With the " Annie Laurie Quickstep," andBenediction, this plsasant concourse dis-persed, fully agreed that the young gentle-men did credit to themselves and those whohave trained them.

Tho Secoud Exhibition will occur at thetima of the Law and Medical Commence-ments, about March 26th or 29th.

DOCTORS gen. rally pretend that Consumption iaincurable, because They cannot euro it themselves;

but this does not make it true.Many mechanics will wcrks on a job all day and fif

ter doing nothing but spo.l the material they will tellyon it never caii be dune in the way you want it. Butby applying to a belter woikman—ono who thoroughlyunderstands hia business—you will get your work ac-complished in shape.

In this respect there is the Ramo difference to befound in all trades and professions. The bunglers Inmechanism,in the arts, in law, In theology, and inphysic, will say such thbtgi cannot be done. And it istrue that they could not be if all men were like them-selves. But fortunately there is another class of men,and these, when they take your case in band, do thejob a s you want it, or restore you to health, acoor< ingto desire. We have only to remember tl is act tounderstand whj one physician should pronounce thatincurable which another can euro.

In mechanics, we sometimes find that by a possessionof superior means, by some now invention, of which hehas tho sole use, or by thy creator iugenity oi hismind, one person will make or do what no other can.

Exactly it may be so in physic. And tl>is is thevery reason why I have such great success over ullOthers in the treatment of Consumption. By havingthe original genius, by possessing the Lung-Meter,which enables me to clearly deti rmine the nature of thedUesseand by having such remedies for Consumption asno other Physician ever had, make bold tc say that Ihave, and can effect a cure of this disease beyond thoruach of any other man. To prove this to have beenIhe case, I might givo 3*ou numbers upon numbersof certificates from men and women given over to tb.ograve, who havo beou rescued and restored tQ toftithby the persevering use of my remedies for ^TmsuraptionBut it is not nec< ssa- y for me to do fcy hero • for i hofact of one man doing what ano^ l 0 r C a n n o t c ^ n - o t ;,uvidc-nt to ali men of common sense. ]( i n e Cousump-tivo wijhea further proof than V,,is, I ean only s av,come JW5 satisfy yourself ' ^ W A 1 o f m y s k m [ ^cure of your connr \ a

STUNK OK TUK CAPITOL.—A correspon-dent of the Wiiig tel's the followingvery interesting anecdote of Washing.to: :

Recent events have recalled wryforcibly to my mind tho following inci-dent, which may perhaps prove interes-ting to m:u:y of your readeis at thepresent time:

Being on a v'sit to Washington•dsriDg tho rccesa of Congress in thespring of 1857, 1 walked one clay witha friend, to view the works which werethen nlrondy in progress for ihe exten-sion o!' the Capital. As we saunteredftfnong the pillars in the basement ofthe old bni'ding, we fell in with aveueruble looking man, having thoappearance of a countryman, whoseemed to be there upon tho samebusiness that wo wore. We enteredinto conversation with him, and he in-formed us that ho was a Virginian,"raised" a few miles down tho river,not far from Mt. Vernon. ''Vervlikely, then," we remarked 'you mayrecolieot General Washington." "Per-fectly well;" ho replied. ''Indeed Isaw him when ho laid the foundationof this building. I was but u boy,then," ho continued,''but I remembervery distinctly how lie looked as hostood in thi.-< way over the stone, andsettled it in its place with a pry. Itwas a huge' stone, and as placed, itmust have required no little strengthto move it. liut tho General was avery athletic man, and moved it appar-ently With ease Tlstro were a numberof boys there (root our neighborhood,and it was a standing marvel to us all,how the General moved that stone Afew days after the Genera) happenedto bo riding by our school-house onhorseback, as wo were playing outside.We all pulled off' our lists to him, andhe stopped his horse for a moment, andspoke to us very pleasantly. One ofthe boys cried out, "Please, General,tell us how is was you moved that greati-tone, up yonder, tho other day.'—" Why, boys/'said he smiling, "did Imove the stone?" "O yes, General,you mcved it, we all saw you." ''Well,boys,", said the General, looking veryserious and speaking slowly, shakinghis long finger at us, as he spoke, "Doyou see that nobody ever moves that-stone again/'"

But of all thespots on the green earth, none is so sacredas that where rests, waiting the resurrec-tion, those we- once cherished and loved.Hence in all ages, the better portion ofmankind have chosen the loved spots forthe burial of their dead, and iu thosespots they have loved to wander at even-tide to meditate and weep. ]iut amongall tho eharnel houses of the dead, if thereis one spot more saered than the rest, it. isa mother's grave. There sleeps the moth-er of oar infancy—the guide of ouryouth—the counsellor of our riper years—our friend when others deserted us; shewhose heart was a stranger to every oth-er feeling but love, and who could alwaysfind an excuse for us when we could fiudnone for ourselves. There sho sleeps,aud we love the very earth for her sake.

THE TWO LEGS —An inexperiencedyoung bride being asked by her cookto choose her dinners during the honey-moon, was anxious that her ignoranceshould not peep out. She called tomind one dish only, and that she knewby name; it was a safo one, and sub-stantial, too—a leg of mutton. So,several days the leg of mutton cameobedient to the mistress' order.

Ayer'sSarsaparillaA compound remedy, designed to be the mosteffectual Alterative that can be made. It ina concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla,so combined with other substances of stillgreater alterative power as to afford an effec-tive antidote for the diseases Sarsaparilla isreputed to cure. I t is believed that such aremedy is wanted by those who suffer fromStrumous complaints, nnd that one which willaccomplish their cure must prove of immenseservice to this large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this compound willdo it has been proven by experiment on manyof the worst eases to bo'found of the followingcomplaints: —

SOUOFULA AND ScitOFUT.OUS COMPLAINTS,ERUPTIONS AND EHUPTIVB DISEABES, (JLOSBS,PIMPLES, BtoiCHBs, TUMOR*. S.vi.r RHEUM,SCALD HEAD, SYPHILIS AND STPHILITIO A F -FECTIONS, MERCHKIAL DISBASB, DEOPST, NEU-RALOIA on Tic DouLOURBrrx, Di-.iiii.rrY, BYS-PEPSIA AND INDIOESTION, EuYsinu.As, Boason. ST. ANTHONY'S FIRE, and indeed the wholeclass of complaints arising from IMPUIUTY OFIHB BLOOD.

This compound will bo found a great pro-moter of health, when taken in the spring, toexpel tho foul humors which fester in theblood at that season of the year. By the time-ly expulsion of them many rankling disordersare nipped in the bud. Multitudes can, bythe aid of this remedy, spare themselves fromthe endurance of foul eruptions and ulceroussores, through which the system will strive torid itself of corruptions, if not assisted to dothis through the natural channels of tho bodyby an alterative medicine. Cleanse out thavitiated blood whenever you fmd its impuritiesbursting through the skin in pimples, eruptionSjor sores; cleanse it when you find it is ob-structed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse ilwhenever it is foul, and your feelings will tellyou when. Even where no particular disorderis felt, people enjoy better health, and lirelonger, for cleansing the blood. Keep theblood healthy, and all is well; but with thispabulum of life disordered, there can be nolasting health. Sooner or later somethin..must go wrong, and the great machinery oflife is disordered or overthrown.

Sarsaparilla has, and deserves much, thereputation of accomplishing these ends. Butthe world has been egregiously deceived bypreparations of it, partly because the drugalone has not all the virtue that is claimedfor it, but more because many preparations,pretending to be concentrated extracts of it,contain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla,or any thing else.

During late years the public havo been mis-led by large bottles, pretending to give a quartof Extract of Sarsaparilla for one dollar. Mostof these have been frauds upon the sick, forthey not only contain little, if any, Sarsapa-rilln, but often no curative properties whatev-er. Hence, bitter and painful disappoint:ner.thas followed the use of the various extracts ofSarsaparilla which flood the market, until thename itself is justly despised, and has becomesynonymous with imposition and cheat. Stillwe call this compound Sarsaparilla, and intendto supply such a remedy as shall rescue thename from the load of obloquy which rests

j upon it. And we think we havo ground for' believing it has virtues which are irresistible| by the ordinary run of the diseases it is intend-; c-d to cure. In order to secure their complete

eradication from the system, the remedy shouldbe judiciously taken according to directions onthe bottle.
