of our agents of New York and elsewhere, that
there never was paper started under more favo-
rable auspices, or has been more encouraged by
liberal and enlightened PUBLIC, than is the STAR &
ADVOCATE at this moment. notwithstanding the
base and co,cardly insinuations made to our gene
raj agent in New York, few days since, and
that, too, by men, we should have said lbelling
rascals, calling themselves Albanians Out upon
such knaves, they never were Albanians, but
such fellows as we have seen before, who having
wormed their subsistence out of our good eiti-
zens, turn from them and repay the obligation by
their base slander. Such appears the case at pre-

great pleasure the last, as well as subsequent
numbers Of the above paper, and recommend it as
worthy Of the patronage Of the public in general,
but more especially Of our colored friends, for

DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT

DECISION OF THE SUPREME COURT.
We learn that considerable excitement prevails
among some of our people in New York city and
other places, on account Of the late very singular
decision Of the above court, and fears are enter
tanned (and we believe JUSTIFY that as neither the
constitution Of the United Safes nor the laws of
the free states can afford us any protection from
the grasp Of the STAKEHOLDER, or his agent, many
who were born free will be reduced to chains and
slavery. We believe there is much danger, and
we warn our people to match. Avarice and wick
edness combined will attempt much-therefore,
let us ocatch Let it be remembered that accord
ing to the decision, while the free states can pass
no laws securing to US the possession of freedom,
they can pass none to aid the shareholders in their
attempts to consign to slavery those whom they,
may claim as their property, and if there be no in
reference by the city authorities, we need not
fear the Shareholder or his agents.
We are not, however, prepared to advise our
people to assemble and organize associations, for
the purpose ofsef-defencc, or to declare their de-
termination to- oppose the law of the land We
do not at present consider that the most prudent
coursete pursue, and we believe no good can re-
suit fromit We can effect our purpose without
such organization. The spirit of freedom which
burns within US, in connection with judicious

PROGRESS OF TEMPER ANCE.

We rejoice that the cause Of temperance is ra-
pidly gaining ground in this city Besides 9TH
er temperance meetings which have recently been
held, the young mems city temperance society
have been holding series Of very interesting and
we'll attended meetings. From the spirit mani
tested, we anticipate much good as the result of
their efforts. We would suggest to the friends of
the cause, as the river is now navigable and the
canal men will soon be gathering here, whether
it would not be advisable to hold meetings in the
vicinity Of the docks, and endeavor to enlist the
boatmen in this good cause.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-03-17

iltlonism will prevail in every kind and charitable
bosom. The favor Of God will accompany such
efforts, and if the reign of equal justice is not
tended to US, the vengeance of an oppressed peo-
pie will break forth, and proclaim to the oppress
or that better to die honorably than to live
condemned, dsgraced and i'll treated.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-03-17
course of action, will be sufficient to accomplish
all that duty demands.

.
We particularly recommend the annexed COM
munication from our correspondent BEEEzET,
as being well worth the perusing, and we take
this occasion to add that the subject is not ex-
hausted, but in the same hands might be prolong-
ed with the same cogent reasoning with interest
and instruction. We hope from the interest ma
infested by our numerous readers, friend Benezet
will take the hint thrown out.-Edrs
For the Star and F. A.
What has the north to do with slavery is
question which is frequently asked of those who
feel it their duty to agitate the delicate subject
OF the freedom OF two or three millions of their
fellow creatures, born in the same land with
themselves, and entitled by the laws of God to
the same rights which they enjoy. If this ques-
tlon had never been answered, think that the
recent decision of the supreme court of the Uni
ted, States might convince all who have any
doubts on the subject, that the north has something
to do with slavery. This decision, it appears,
has settled it as the law of the country, that no
non-slaveholding state has any right to enact
laws securing jury trial to alleged fugitives
from southern slavery, nor to punish those who
may choose to kidnap any inhabitant of free
which white person was claimed as slave in
the city of Philadelphia, and such may again oc-
cur.)
Perhaps it may be said that none but colored
persons will be affected with this decision of the
supreme court, and that they, only, need feel any
apprehension respecting the matter. This view
OF the subject will have no weight with those
who have hearts to feel for the sorrows and dis
tresses of their fellows those who have not
any, should remember that it is their duty to
sympathise with the afflicted at all times and in
all places, whatever may be their condition and
circumstances. 1t was a beautiful idea Of Gre
clan sage,--that the best commonwealth was that
in which an injury done to the most obscure in
dvdual, was keenly felt by the whole body
as if offered to the most exalted.
By this interpoSition of the constitution of our
country, doubtless much injury may be done to
many of our unhappy fellow creatures. Will this
be felt as if done to the highest in the land2 What
indignation-what rage, would be excited, should
the child of one Of our great men be carried into
slavery, under this law Alas how many, both
of parents and children, may be taken from their
free homes into bondage, terminating only with
life
But suppose we are asked what can be done ?
The answer is, petition the national legislature
for law granting jury triakto all persons claim
ed as slaves. This, they are by every consdera-
ton of justice and humanity bound to grant -
Meanwhile let every remember that this is
the best and safest course that can at present be
pursued.
The northern star and freemen's advocate., 1842-03-17
