thus been guilty of the violation of the Constitution set

efectualy denying to large portion of the American
people all benefit from their petitions if they
permitted silent passage to the table of your speaker
Ihrd-Because if the reasons set forth in those
resolutions sufficient to justify the rejection without
hearings of petitions or the abolition Of slavery in the

States, and against the removal of SlaUes from one
state to anoer they do not furnish for thus
treating many other petitions Erelating to Slavery"

thus causing many petitions to be denied hearing without
any reason whatever being assigned for such course
For these among other reasons your memoriaists not
only demonstrate against the passage of said resolutions
but respectfully ask your Honorable body to rescind the
same and thus restore to the right of petition its vitality
and to the Constitution its power and supremacy.

uTAt Baltimore, three persons of high preten-

bail upon a charge of being concerned in fitting out
vessels designed 10 be employed in the Slave
Trade. They have since been indicted by the
Grand Jury upon the charge preferred against them
This is right, and omen Of good, coming, as it
does, from slave holding State, and it may be, 1t
is TO be hoped, the commencement OF war ofexter'
mination against the infamous and wicked tratc IN
human flesh upon the ocean. Our laws condemn
tnfiicing in slaves upon the sea as piracy PUNISH
able by death, yet many ciizens OF the onIted
States it has been proved beyond doubt, are en-
gagged in man stealing upon tho shores of Africa,
and realizing large profits from investments in the
horrid business Many Of The vessels employed IN
this trade are "BaItimore built"-though they sail
under foreign flags. Such monsters deserve nor
the protection of a Government that in theory even
repudiates oppression.

The scattering votes for Governor in less than

Morton's majority over Everett, 252 votes. There
can to be but little doubt about who will be

Governor With 40 Wing majority in the House
and l3 in the Senate, when the vacancies are filed
it would be strange If a Wing should not be elect

upon the contingency of failure to return the scat

being Governor of Mass is no better than out Of

The LICENSE Law IN MASSACHUSETTS. The
Mercantile Journal expresses the opinion that the
law will be sustained by the Legislature elect, but
most of tho paper that have supported it in other
section of the State entertain different opinions.
The Springfield Republican thus speaks of this
question
The License Lao has done the mischief; and
has brought the Wing party to the brink Of over;
throw great majority ofthe members elected
to the Legislature are undoubtedly opposed 10 that
law, and have been elected mainly on that ground
and that law may therefore be considered as de-
tunct. The expression of the popular will is de-
cisive against it. This is now the belief universal
Iy entertained IN this quarter, and none we behoVe
more fully express it than those who have been
the supporters of the law. .
1t was our aim, before the election, to detacn
that law as far as in power, from conneSlo1n
with politics parties and this upon grounoS
which we deemed then, land deem now, imPr .Eo
