THE SLAVERY DECISION.

The recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court, declaring unconstilulion
al and void the State laws, giving col
ored man, claimed as slave, the right to
have that claim tried by jury, is what
might have been expected, however un-
Just and unreasonable 1t may seem. All OF
our institutions are for neutrality-suspicious..
ishing. their powers. The tendency of the
central power is towards consolidation.
Congress and the United States Courts
are yearly assuming new, constructive
and doubtful powers. The State insiilu.
lions, in relation to those of the Union,
are constantly losing, and the Uniled
States institutions constantly accumulat-
ing authority. jurisdiction and supremacy.
Wnat Will De the result, may be anlicipal.
Cd, unless strong ground shall be taken ia
season by the States.
The effect OF this decision seems 10 be.
to deprive the States of all power Of afford.
;ng protection to lis solored free ci,izsps
! have not the act of Congress of I793 il
hand; but It appears above. that il gives
d white citizen of slave State the power
Of afresting any colored citizen Of a free
State, and the privilege ofappearing as a
witnnss in his own case against such col
ored citizen, before any justice of The
peace. Thus, any unprincipled kidnap
per may come into Massachusetts, and
forcibly arrest any colored citizen carry
him before any justice ofthe peace OF his
own selection, make afalse oath that such
colored person is bis fugitive slave, and
then, upon such interested and corrupt
evidence, without trial by jury or any re-
spectacle court OF law, may transport such
person beyond the State and the reach OF
Justice. to Texas or the West Indies. and

writing from Charleston, S. G.. says:
A person was some weeks since cut

been caused here at the result OF the trial
of slave, for a-conspiracy to murder his
master. in Beaufort District; the conspir-
acy failed, and the master exlorted a con
fession Of guilt from the slave, on which
confession he was convicted and sentenced
to be hung, and have his head severed
from his body, and suspended for ninety
days in the public highways. A Mr..
Rhett says, in a communication published

Ice WILL PAY FOR CoTToN.-Many
of our readers are aware that a large
amount of ice is annually exported from
New England to various Giles within the
torrid zone. The business has become SO
extensive as to yield an income OF several
millions of dollars. The Bostonians have
recently given new turn to this trade.
They have sent OUT their ships to the
East Indies, laden with ice, and bring
back in the same vessel, bales of EasI
India cotton, in exchange, A Z" Yankee
notion" this,verily,to make the same pond
that grinds out their calicoes, by the sale
of its icy covering,purchase the raw cotton
for their mills. .. s.....
This importation of cotton from the
British East India possessions into the
ports Of the United States,i disturbing the
South wonderfully. 1t is undoubtedly a
sensitive point with them. For If our
Lowell, Pawtucket, or New York Mills
cotton factories can be supplied with free
labor cotton in exchange trade with the
East Indies, as cheap as from the South,
the slave driver may as well lay down his
cat O. nine tails:"' the free North will
never use his 5lood-stained cotton, when
the product af free labor is within their
reach $50 e., - ~. r..
The South know this. They have
strong apprehension of the approaching
danger. Last week our paper contained
notice Of a meeting Of planters in Alaba
ma on this subject. They were so fally
convinced that the subject was one Of vita
Importance, that another Stale meeting j:
