FREE NEGROES AND MuLATToEs.

The question presented by our Correspondent,
tifslhian, Is a singular and important one. Says
the constitution of the United States, ethe citizens
oi one State, shall be entitled TO all the privileges of
the citizens of any other state" III New Yoik,
and other states, colored people arc entitled to all
political, as well as social rights. Does this clause
OF the Federal Constitution enti,lc the colored citi-
zens OF those states, to the political rights of which
that class of people are deprived in Virginia? Is
there any adjudication of this question? Ii it be
true tina, the colored citizcus Of those states, that
admit them 10 all privileges, are eutitled to
the same privileges here, it follows that the
late act of Assembly, changing the punishment of
certain offences, and directing the free people of CO.
lour to be sold and depurtcd for the same, is cqui-
tyaient to prescribing the same punishment, to FREE
WHITE MEN: IL that act is constitutional in re-
lation to the state constitutions, is it So, i'm relation
to that ef the United States: The case to which
Vrginian refers, is the same we lately noticed in

Il fEuSufffS " oHitcT,
GentleIncn-Thc decision of the General Court
in the case of the Commonwealth against John AL
d.idge, Il free black, has excited much verbal dis
cussiOn OH the constituiionality and policy of the
late law relating TO the punishment of certain of
fences when committed by Il free colored person. I
am no lawyer nor cXpouIdcr of constitutions, but
there is one point at least in which this law appears
to me clearly unconstitutional.
In the commencement, ! will assume it as grant
ed, that where any provision in the constitution of
a state comes in conflict with one in that Of the T..
States. that the former must yield.
In the 9TH article Of the Constitution Of the wi
ted States, i; Is expressly laid down lin substance,
| do not know that I quote it literally, as ii IS from
memory that "ihe citizens Of each state shall en-
Joy, all the privileges anil immuuitics of the citizens
Of Ike several states,' meaning thereby, that if Il ci-
tizcn o. one state should choose to locate himself in
another state, that he should enjoy all the privi-
lcgcs, sc. of the latter state, the one to which lie
goes. But for this clause, the citizens of any state
might pass q law confirming all its lionors aud Off
ccs, and ever the right Of citizenship itself, TO natives
aiDnc, which might cause ultimately, the dissolution
Of the Union.
fore nc ramc to this state, Il citizen Of Pennsylvania,
and was. as such, entitled to citizenship here. Will
IL be contcndcd that the Legislature can sell a citi-
zen as a slave anil entail slavery upon his postcrity ;
7 presume that this question viii I've answered in the
| NEGATIVE. II they have not this right, they cannot.
! consfiiutionaiiy, transport Aldrjdge and sell him as
| "a slave. because I have proved by the constitution
Of The United States that &c is a citizen Of Virginia
4 case somewhat similar has been decided by ,hs
Supreme Court, III which South Carolina was z
party.
Tie improper use Of granted covers is almos, a
hateful, and sometimes much more oppressive, thar

toned, i; would still he agains, the spirit Of our law
