there are some men that are good men. and some

would be no need OF laws, therefore, ergo, the laws
were made ior bad men. and the good men have no

EXTENSION, OF SLAVERY.

can who values consistency in our ma
tional character, and painful 10 the feel
ings of every philanthropist to learn that
in this age of light, when the inherent
rights of mankind are beginning to be re-
cognized as the only foundation of legiti.
mate government by nations who have
hitherto acknowledged the divine rights
of kings" exertions are making to ex-
tend the curse of slavery over another
portion of our territory, and to break
down the constitutional barriers which
prevent its demoralizing influence from
blighting the security and happiness
now enjoyed; and this, too, when all
civilized nations are uniting their efforts
to abolish this unholy traffic. In the free
state Of Illinois, a desperate effort is
making to alter the constitution, SO as to
break down its noblest pillar" There
shall be neither slavery nor involuntary
servilude;" and to erect one in its stead
which shall stand as the blackened monu-
ment Of ills, within whose deeper shade
no sun Of liberty shall ever shine to
gladen the captive's breast. BY pro-
ties, of the minority Of the Legislature of
that state, we learn, that the projectors
and abettors of this plan, have in their
first act towards its accomplishment, re-
sorted to expedicnts which should for
ever disgrace them as citizens and legis.

test ofthe minority, with remarks.]

of representatives, and the powerful
motive which the Secretary had to COM
munica,e the letters and put an end TO
all suspicion. But no offer has yet been
made to publish them. The American
people do not yet know but that these
letters, which have been thus kept back,
contain the most conclusive evidence OF
an unworthy motive in their suppress
sion, and consequent unfitness OF Mr.
Crawford for any station of trust or con-
fidence. Every one knows that 1t was
in his power to have sent them to the
committee, or cause them to be commu'
nicated to Congress and it has been re-

nothing injurious to his reputation, he

opinion ought now TO be formed as to
Mr.. Crawford's guilt or innocence ofthe
offence Of which he must be so strongly
suspected; but it cannot be doubted that
every moments delay in publishing the
suppressed letters, and offering a tho
rough explanation of this whole trans
action, must increase the suspicious al
ready formed. It is mol perhaps to be
expected that those who are pledged to
Mr.. Crawford, through good andthrough
evil report, will be shaken in their faith.
With them his success has become a
matter of personal interest, apd how
ever forlorn the hope, it is their only
hope: they are therefore not to be NOV

can they realize the effects of these

ILLINOIS-SLAVERY.

1t has been already stated in one Of our
former numbers, that, before the close
Of the last session Of the legislature OF
Illinois, resolution was adopted, by the
constitutional majority, recommending
the calling of convention, for the pur-
pose as was alleged, of SO amending
the constitution of that state as to pave
the way to the introduction of slavery
When this was announced as the princi-
pal, if not the sole object Of the proposed
measure, we were very much inclined
to consider the report as altogether
destitute of foundation. We could not
believe that in state like Illinois, the
population of which was composed in
part Of emigrants from the northern
states, and in part Of those citizens from
the southern states who protested to be
conscientiously opposed to slavery, a Sc
rious design could have been entertained
to bring upon it that greatest Of all evils.
We did not suppose it possible, that
those who had once tasted of the deadly
'draught, who had become practically &C.
qnainted with its bitterness, and had Just
escaped from its awful calamities, would,
when free from its intoxicating influence,

The Duke D'Angouleme, General in
Chief ofthe Army ofthe Pyrcnnees,
to the STANDARDS.
The king of France in recalling his am
bassadors from Madrid, had hoped that
the Spanish government warned of its dam
gers, would have returned to more mo-
derate sentiments, and would cease 10 be
deaf TO the counsels Of reason and bene-
violence. Two mouths and half have
elapsed, and his majesty has waited in
vain TOR the establishment in Spain of an
order ofthings compatible with the safe.
~ OF the neighboring states.
The French government have SUM-
ported two whole years, with unexam-
pied patience, the most umnerited pro-
vocations. The revolutionary faction
which has destroyed in your country the
royal authority, which holds your king
captive, which demands his forfeiture,
which menaces his life and that of his
family, has carried beyond your FROM
tiers its'guil,y efforts. 1t has tried every
means to corrupt the army of his mose
christian majesty, and to excite troubles
10 France, in the same manner that IL
succeeded. by the contagion of its doc.
trines and its examples, to produce the
instructions of Naples and Piedmont.
Deceived in its hopes it had invited trail
tors, condemned by our tribunals, to con.
summate under the protection of ,ri-
umphant rebellion, the plot formed bv.
them against their country.

FOREXGN,
EXPEDITION AGAINST THE PIRATES
From the Baltimore American, May 10.
US. STEAM GALLIoT SEA GULL,

US. STEAM GALLIOT SEA GULL,
11atanzas, AhrH Esd, 1928.
TO the Editor ofthe Ne1u York Evenane Post
Sir-On my arrival here, yesterday in
the Sea Gull, accompanied by barge,
from among the haunts of the pirates,
near where Allen fell by their hands,
the Evening Post of the 10th inst. was
handed to me, containing a paragraph,
which, as it is written in terms both COM
plimentary and courteous, and appears
to have been dictated by regard for the
public interest, shall answer, and hope
to satisfy you, and the public, to whom
your inquiries were directed, that every
effort has been made, not only by my
self, but those under my command, to full
I'll the benevolent intentions of our coun-
try, in sending squadron Of small ves-
sells into these seas for the suppression
Of piracy, and that those intentions have
been fully complied with, and exec u,ed
with promptness rarely instanced.
The paragraph alluded to, is as fol-
lows -" After reading the above nara
tive, at which the blood runs cold, will
it be thought unreasonable if we now
again ask where is the American Squa-
dron under the command of Commodore
Porter, which promised US so much,
and which has, as yet, we must say, per-
formed SO little About the middle Of
February it sailed for Norfolk, the Sd Of
March it arrived at St. Thomas. This
is the last intelligence that has reached
US respecting Com. Porter's squadron,
that was, we sare told destined to cruize

island, and local authorities. But let me
ask by whom so much has been promis.
ed! Not by me, nor those under my
command-we promised only to do our
duty, and we havs done it; but l re-
member too well, and with sorrow, the
publicity that was given to every move
mept of the squadron, by the editors of
newspapers, although took the precau-
ton of sending around to those of New
York, as General Swartwout can testify,
and to you among others, requesting
your silence, and urging the necessity
for secrecy; but it was all in vain: the
papers, with but few exceptions, were
filled with accounts of the expedition
from one extremity ofthc United States
to the other: and believing the pirates
would consequently change their ground,
l found it necessary to change my plans,
and instead ofgoing direct to Cuba, pro-
ceeded to windward to make thorough
examination. As far as depended on
myself, secrecy has been observed and
had I not taken proper precautions to
keep my intentions locked in my own
breast, the pirates, through the medium
of the press, would have been as we'll
informed of my going to Porto Rico, as
they were of every other movement of
the squadron which took place in the
United States.
1t appears to be the subject Of COM
plant, that the last you had heard ofme,
was my arrival with the squadron at St.
