FUGITIVE SLAVES,

The Supreme Court of the United States
have lately made IA decision, in regard to
fugitive slaves. which cannot fail to create
great excitement in the Free States. II we
understand the case, the following points
were decided by the Court: That the Cow
stllution Of the United States guarantees to
the owners of slaves the right to hold their
property, secure from the interference of in
divduals or the Governments of States
that they Ohc owncrs) have right to seize
the slave in any State or Territory of the
Union-,hat no State Court can exercise
jurisdiction in regard to fugitive slavcs-,hat
no State Legislature, nor any other power,
except Congress alone, can make laws in
relation to them, though the States possess
the power to regulate their own internal po-
lice, provided their action does not conflict
with any law of Congress. These are the
main points involved in the decision, as we
understand it, and it will be perceived that
this opinion annuls the law Of tins State
which secures to fugitive slaves the RICH, OF
trial by jury. Under this decision any black
freeman, IN the non-slave-holdng States,
may be claimed, seized, carried by force into
the Southern States, and, denied the sacred
right of trial by jury before a State court
may be doomed to perpetual slavery. As
| good citizens it is of course our duty to SUBJ
nit to the law of the land, as cxpounded
by the Supreme Judicial Tribunal. But We
do not hesitate to give it as our deliberate
| conviction that if such is the character o
our " GLORIOUS Constitution" the People o
the Free States will dcm0nd an amendment
nor will they suffer their press to be mu-
lied, nor themselves TO be gagged, till the,
succeed in obtaining it.

the temporary eXpedcnt of issuing Treasury
Notcs-an exrcdent which, a1jrdng no per-
mancnt relicf, has imposed upon Congress,
from time TO time, tho necessity of replacing
the old 10y new issue. The amount outstand-
ing on the 4th Of March, 1910, varies in no great
degree from the amount which will be oltstand-
ing on the first of January next; while in the
ln'6rm the new issues are rendered equivalent
TO tho redemption ofthl old, and at the end
of the fiscal year leave IN augmented pressure

ern man NTH Southern principles" is too
fresh in their collection-spceches of Lead
ing Tory members of Congress from the
Northern States, the language and tone of
the Tory papers of New England, and the
resolutions and addresses of Tory convcn-
tons in all sections of the country, would
rise up in abundance to condemn thom.-
But we will not again 90 at length into this
subject at present. We proved in "A late
article which has not been, and cannot be,
contradictcd, that the Tory party in Con-
grcss had, during the present session, on the
only occasion when the subject was before
them, voted with great unanimty against the
principle of protection, and that the Tory
papers all over the country defended and
justified their votes. We desire now to call
the attention of our readers TO little more
evidence, not less conclusive than that which
we offered fortnight ago, to prove that the
Tories of this State cherish deadly hostility
to the protective system. First we will in
troduce resolution which was passed BY the
last Tory State Convention-the LAST one
remember reader-that ever assembled in
this State. 1t is in the following words:
Resolved That the true principle of the Fedora
Government is TO confne lis action TO the object,
specfcaHy enumerated in the Consutu,on IEAV.
ING INDUSTRY TO REGULATE ITSELF.
Now be it remembered that this resolution
was passed at the last Toy State Conren-
tom holden at Montpelier, Oh the seven
teenth day of June, in the year of our Lore
one thousand eight hundred and forty one
And at the end Of the series Of resolutions
OF which this was one, in the oGcial report
OF the proceedings, we are informed thai
the resolutions were separately and ably
discussed by Messrs. Dillingham;, Barter

bered, further, that this Convention wa

OF the resolution, was unanimously nomina

with these facts staring them in the face
uncontradicicd, acknowledged, there ar,
those who have the unbushng assurance t,

not be misunderstood. We do not say tier,

to Protection. On the contrary, we hay
no doul there are many such. But villa
we do assert is, that, if they are sncerel

TIE TORIES AND A TARIFF AGAIN

II is amusing enough TO hear those Tories
who dare not come out openly against the
Tariff, claim that their party are friends to
Protection, They might with as much pro-
priety claim that the mass Of the party were
in favor Of United States Bank. The
truth is, they begin to see that the PcorLr
have como TO tie conclusion ,ha, they must
and ~W haze a 2ariB--that it is time for
our Government 10 stop making laws for the
benefit of English labor, and begin TO en-.
courage and protect the industry of .fmeri-
can citizens. And hence tho great anxiety
OF the Torics-some fitc of them we mean
to make the People believe that they are
not only advocates Of Tariff ao,c, but tha,
they always have been. But they will find
il difficult to deceive intelligent men will
their bare-iaoed misrepresentation. The
