MANUMISSION,

One Gay last week, there came to this
borough wagon, loaded with blacks OF
both sexes and of various ages, to the
number of %. Upon being Intercepted,
they said, they had been set free by their
master, MIR. James GunnelI, of Faueuier
county, Va. at his death, and were now
hunting homes and that he had given
them the team and $500, to make the
best OF them. We understand they did
not wish TO bind any OF their children, but
to let them out for their victuals and
clothes, until they could themselves get
places as hirelings. Carlisle, Pa. Eok.

", examined, it may be proper to observe.
that the same exclusive power of Iesis-
iation which is given to congress over
the district of Columbia, is given to il
uover all places, purchased by the cou.
sent of the legislature OF the state :,
which the same shall be, for the sction
of forts, magazines, arsenals, dock yards.
and other needfnf buildings" ln the
application Of this power to some Of ,he
places last enumerated, it is believed
that congress has made practic al inter-
probation Of this clause. That in all ca
ses of arsenals and dock yards, they have
not exercised exclusive legislation, and
as to "ofher needful buildings" such as
post Offices and custom houses-,hese
remain entirely under the jurisdiction of
The states. The proviso too to the frs,
section of the act for>establishing the
temporary and permanent seat Of the
government of the Upited States, sup
ports this construction. This proviso is
in the following words : "Provided, new

of the state 1ithin such district, shall not
be affected BY this acceptance, ill the
time fixed for the removal Of the govern,
meDt thereto, ard until congress shall

from this provIso, that congress consid,
cred itself as possessing the power of as
Stunning or declining jurisdiction ever
