sci has no little influence on our destiny
Without her, Irene would have been the
wife of Adalbert; she would never then
have been your maid of honor; her insinu.
atoms would never have made me Jealous
of you; | should never have feared the loss
of your affection" Much more discourse
passed, and the understanding was perfect
one.
AT noon the next day, the Imperial pair,
attended by their train, and young Adaibert,
drove into Montagna, and stopped before
Madame Thcresina's cottage. The gracious
smile of The Empress encouraged the shy
maiden TO come forward; Henry took the
thread, spun and presented by the young
girl to his wife, and bidding some of his al
tendanis fasten one end to tree, directed
them TO enclose as large a square with 1t as
the length of the thread would permit. The
noble party then withdrew to the castle of
Adalbert's father, and passed the hours till
evening, in amusing conversation.
Late in the evening the attendants retur-
ned from measuring the land enclosed by
the thread, and a messenger was dispatched
TO fetch Bertha and her grandmother.
"You have done me SERVICE" said the
Empress 10 the spinster "my lord approves
of what you have done, and with his con-
sent bestow on you the land enclosed by
this thread of your spinning. | also pre-
sent you with a title of nobility, and give
you a spindle for your device. Adalbert
shall be yours; the Count Montagna wei.
comes you as his daughter"
The young man was happy. Poor Ber-
tina was overwhelmed with her Joy, and
could not speak. The lovers were united
in few wceks-the Emperor giving away
the bride. AL the ladies of the Court, ex
cept Irene, wished Bertha happines, and
thought she had deserved it.
In after years. the children and grand,
children of Bertha used 10 talk ofthe strange
adventure of her youth and talk half re
gretfully of ''the good Old time when Ber-
tina was spinner" The saying is cur
rent at Montagna. even at the present day.

the stains Of which centuries will not wash
from our national escutcheon.
/ might refer TO numerous instances in
which the people of the free States have been
involved in the guilt Of slavery and the slave
trade; but have mentioned enough 10 serve
as examples. My object has been to show
my readers the manner in which ;eir coss-
siluional rights to remain free from the
guilt and moral turpitude of slavery, have
been invaded. IF the Federal Government
had abolished slavery in every State ofthis
Union, the outrage upon the Constitution
would have been no greater. than has been
that ofinvoving the people of the free Stncs
in the base wickedncss Of slavery and of
the slave trade. Yet. Mr.. f iior, our pub
lie press, and public men, have not only re-
manned supinely inactive under these posi-
tive violations of the Constitution and of our
rights, but they have been absolutely silent.
One of our great political parties has cor
sianily aided IN the preparation Of those
Ouirages upon the people, while ii must be-
acknowledged that the other has exhibited
entirely too much insensibili'y 10 our wrongs:
although thrir votes and acts, for sorre years
past, have demonstrated 10 the world an un
willingness entirely 10 yield up our blood
bought privileges. This servile yielding
up Of The Constitution, as well as the rights
and interests nf the free States, will gain no
favor among The people for either party. M
southern patriot will demand it no northern
patriot vIll silently submit 10 it. If our Un-
ion be maintained, it will b., bv supporting
the Constitution, not by violating it. BY
maintaining the righ's both Of The north auI
Of the south, not by trampling upon those OF
either section. The south must be permit
ted to maintain their slavery while they
wish to 10 SO : the north must be permitted
10 enjoy It's freedom uncon animated and ul-
polluted by the gmh Of sldrery. The poln-
ical party that throws lis influence into the
support of all these rights, w;ll be sustained
by the people while the party that either
invades the rights of tie sorbh, or snpinrFy
surrenders up those Of the north, will be
found wanting, when weighed in the bali
ancc Of public sentiment.

The Emperor, Henry ~, assembled the
throne of his father, when, as yet, scarce
arrived at the years of manhood. He had
been early betrothed to a young Italian
princess, whom, though beautiful and viz
tuous, he did not love, perhaps because it
was his duty to love her. The newly we'd
ded Empress soon perceived this, and griev-
ed over it secretly, for she truly loved her
lord. He was very fond of the chase, and
pursued it daily, accompanied by some of
his nobility; and the society of his jovial
companions made up for the want of happi-
ness in his domestic life.
One day, when the Emperor found HIM
self alone in wood, he met, riding white
palfrey, young lady of such transcendant
beauty, that he was half convinced it must
be Diana herself Her dark brown ring
lets clustered on the whitest forehead in the
world, and her large dark eyes cleaned
like stars in the view of the fascinated
Prince. He rode past her in silence; and
presently meeting the Count Paolo, learned
from him that the fair stranger was the La
dy Irene, niece of the Count Montagna,
who lived in the Counts castle, near Padua,
and was affianced, as the world said, to his
son, Adalbert The Emperor felt as if he
could envy the fortunate Adalbert and men
tally resolved on speedy visit to the Count
Moutagna at his castle.
This resolve he soon put in execution.
Montagna felt honored by the Imperial Wis
1t, and Irene, proud of her beauty, and E.
lated by the compliments she received, was
all exultation. She appeared to the Prince
even more beautiful than when he first saw
her; and her loneliness, in his ewes. was
enhanced by her reserved and even haugh-
ty demeanor. In short, he contriyed often
to have the pleasure of seeing her; and, at
length appointed her one of the maids of
honor to the Empress, Montagna was de-
lighted at this mark of favor, for he looked
on Irene as the bride of his son, and never
dreamed of her being faithless to him. As
to Adalbert, one would have thought that
he had reason to be distressed at the loss of
much of the lady's society, her duties at
court occupying great portion of her time;
but the truth was, he did not regret the
separation. Her pride and selfshness pre-
vented his regarding her with affection !:
and, besides, he was secretly enamoured of
a young girl, who, though in an humble
station, matched, in beauty and merit, the
loftiest in the land.
In the smallest cottage in Montagna,
dwelt Madame Theresina, respectable,
pious widow and the only comfort of her
life, was her granddaughter Bertha A

VIOLATIONS OF THE CoNsTITUTION-CoNTf
UED.
: MR. EDITOR: Having in my two last
numbers made some allusion 10 The manner
in which The people of the free States have
been involved in the pecuniary expense Of
slavery. will now proceed TO examine
some the instances in which VIC have been
involved 10 the moral guilt of that inslitu-
ton.
By act Of Congress, approved February
27. 1901, slavery and the slave trade in the
District of Columbia were re>esiabIished
and continued. As some diversity OF onin-
ion exists in regard TO the power of Con-
gress over the subject of slavery in that
District, il may be well to remark, that the
States of Mary land and Virginia, by doeds
Of cession bearing date in 1900, conveyed
the territory embraced within the Disiricr
of Columbia 10 the United States. These
deeds OF cession each contained n clause
providing that the State laws should coniin
ue in force within the territory coded, until
Congress shouM accept The grant. Congress
accepted the grant. and, from ,hnt instant,
the State laws CEASED 10 have any force or
effect within the territory. 1t then came
under the control of another sovereignty,
and, of course. all former laws must cease.
When speak of former State laws, refer
TO all statute or municipal laws, including
the laws of descent and distribution, and
the laws for the collection Of debts and pun
ishing crimes, as well as the laws of slavery
and tho claun trade oa--oI
exist the moment Congress accepted the
grants. From that time TO this, there has
been no municipal law in existence within
said District except acts of Congress. In
order that the people within :he District
should suffer no Inconvenience for the want
of laws, Congress passed The ACT above re-
ferred to. BY this law, the statutes former
ly in force were re.enacied, and became The
la,cs of Congress. and have been in force
since that time. In this way slavery was
re-esiabshed, and, by virtue Of this act of
Congress, The slave trade is now continued
in the city lhst bears the name Of WASHING.
TON. Repeal that act of Congress. and The
slave trade will Instantly be abolished, and
slavery will be done away forever. Con-
gress refuses 10 repeal this law of their own
enaciing. and by such refusal nphoids The
slave trade. with all lis horrors, and its all
iendant guilt. By virtue of this law, pa
rents are separated from their children, hus-
bands from their wives, brothers from their
sisters, and chained 10 the coffle, or placed
on board the slave ships, are destined for
southern market. BY virtue of this law of
Congress, all the lies of domestic life are
severed by the mercenary trader in human
flesh. Here the father. in the presence of
his wife and children, has been known TO
lay violen, hands upon himself, and rush 10
TO the presence ofhis God, rather Than meet
