THE MARYLAND AND PENNSYLVAyIA CASE.

Il We made, in our last, a brief statement O
The main points Of this important case, recent,
decided by the Supreme Court Of the United
States. We are indebted To "a learned Member
of the Bar for the following NOR. particular
statement OF the judgment of the Court, and
than we from our own knowledge were able to
furnish
Case Of Prigg against the Commonwealth Of
Pennsylvania.
The points decided by a majority of the
Court wero-
! lst That tho provision in tho Constitution
OF the United States relative To the fugiiI,.
slaves executes itself so far ~ To authorize the
owner or his agent to seize the fugitive in any
State Of the Union, as property and that no
State law is constitutional which interferes
with such right
I'd. That tins provision also contcmplaies le.
gslaton by Congress, To make tue delivery Of
fugitive slave more efieciual against all State
or other interference.
Sd. That Congress have legislatcd, such le.
gislation is the supreme law of The land, ex.
cludng all state legislation upon The same sub.
Ject; aud with which Legislation by Congress,
no State Gun pass any law to .IUalify, impede,
or control the remedy given by the act Of Con.
gress.
Ith The power of legislation by Congress is
exclusive and no State can pass any law Ia
carry into effect tho constitutional provision in
regard TO fugitive slaves, even though Congress
had not lcgislntod upon the subject.
9th. That The points thus decided are in no
manner intended to interfere with the notice
pouer Of The States TO take up runaway slaves,
and guard against their misconduct or deprcda-
tions.
This opinion was delivered by Mr.. Justice
SToRY
The CuItr Jusrfcr and Mr. Justice DASiEL
concurrsd IN the opinion that the Psnnsy Iva.
MA law was Unconstitutional and VOID, aud
that no State could pass any law TO impair or
impede tho right Of the owners of fugitive
slaves, ~ conferred By the Constitutions and
secured by the act Of cong'ot' bat ,hsy held

EARLY RISING.

The late Chief Baron O'Grady, who, like
The matutine planets, was generally up be-
fore the sun, was always in the same predica.
ment with reference to his own son, Dennis
whose slumbers were often prolonged far
into The morning. Once, when the Baron
was on q circuit. and knew ihs, his son was
engaged NJ barrsler, in the first cause. he
hurried into his bed room. aud waking him
without much ceremony, exclaimed, /" Up
with you, Dennis. remember, n's the early
bird that catches the worm" THAT serves
the worm right for being up s,ill earlier than
the bird" replied the sluggard.

Yours, s.,

The great difference between the two
Constitutions, lies in the provisions re.
specting foreigners. All other consid-
erations, all other discrepancies are a.
nothing to this The friends Of Mr..
DORIS constitution complain that the
Southern agricultural portions of the
State, have an undue proportion Of pow
er. But Mt the same time, they are N
favor Of admitting to all political privi-
leges, nearly three thousand foreigners,
who would go in mass in every ques.
tion, and control every election in the
State. They profess to be the creates,
fiiends TO the State, to be the most pa.
'riotic Of men, yet they leave to foreign
influence aud foreign votes, the decision
Of every question. Men should think
Of this, and reflect which 10 the safest
depository Of power. Can there be any
comparison between the two provisions :;
any doubt which would ensure the best
and wisest government for the people OF
this State. Is that conservative check
which should exist in every representa-
live government, more safely reposcd in
the hands of native, substantial citizens,
or among al irresponsible, and in most
cases, ignorant class of men, whose ear
ly education was under a more arbitrary
government, and whose prrjudices have
not been weaned from other institutions!
Re1eciing men cannot think differently
on this question. Providence journal.

Mn. ATKINSON:
battled with your party through
the contest Of 1910, and am ready and
willing q lend my humble assistance
to our cause, whenever it commences in
this State on fair and honorable grounds
A communication appeared in the
Providence Herald, of March Q, where
in the names Of Col. Vinal N. Edwards,
WIN. ii. Smith, Col. S. Fl. Wales
David Parmenter and Thos. w. Dorr
were mentioned as having addressed /
public meeting in the old Town House
am acquainted with tho three frs
named gentlemen. l voted for Mr.
Dorr, for representative to Congress
in 1889. considered him competent to
fulfil the duties of his station, if elected
and have not yet changed my opinion
| heard Mr.. Parmcnter deliver his o.
pinions on the rights of the non-iree-
holders, Younger sons, &c. on Kingston

remarks.
Now, | must inform the five above
named gentlemen, (for no other name
appears in the communication) with all
due Difference and respect for their
superior abilities, that they are some
what hasty in publishing the opinions
of the south counties without their con-
sent. Mr.. Simons, Of the Herald, in
his editorial remarks, on the same page,
expresses our opinions as respects n
too great haste in declaring the will Of
the people. We take the liberty Of
pronouncing the last formed Conslitu-
tion neither spurious" nor can't
Republican,, and although 'thc old
Town House" of Providence city, "was
so crowded from top to bottom that il
was difficult to get in or out" we shall
not at present follow in the track of
such leaders, although they may be
highly respectable.
The delegates from this town, and
some others did not act "against the
express wishes Of their constituents, 81
nor even ga large majority Of the whole
people ofthe State" We consider our
delegates (although some Of them may
be opposed to us on certain political
points, neither "Tories," nor "Anli

cIAL CoURT, upon the Legality Of the
so called "Peopie's Constitution"
WARREN, March Cd, 1912.
Gentlemen We received your note
Of yesterday, while met here as referees,
in cause pending in this county. We
have ever held it our duty, as Justices
Of the Supreme Judicial Court, not 10
iDtermeddle with party politics, nor TO
volunteer our opinion on questions Of law
which might be prese nted to US officially.
The questions submitted to us, in your
note, do not seem TO us 10 be Of sncb a
class, nor arc they such, under all the
circumstances of the case, as we feel at
liberty TO decline answering We state
then, as our opinion, that The Conven-
ton, which formed the "Peoplc's Con-
stitu,ion," assembled without law that
in forming il they proceeded without law
that the votes, given in favor OF it, were
given without law, and however strong
an expression OF public opinion they may
present, that said Constitution, instead
of being the paramount law Of the land,
is Of no binding force whatever that
obedience to it will form no justification
or excuse for any act done in pursuancs
of it aud that any attempt to carry it
into effect by force will be treason against
tins State, if not against the United
States.
