in almost the next breath we are told. that
under the conviction that the states cannot
themselves protect their peculiar Institutions
the government feels the necessity Of doing
it for them. Thus, although The government
may not interfere in any manner TO abolish
slavery, it may interfere 10 any extent TO
perpetuate it. 1t may make any number OF
slave states, but ii can never unmahe what it
has made. Mr. Calhoun doubtless thinks
with 10 Smith, that the constitution means
what it says al iafnitum.
Mr.. Calhoun also endeavors to show that
the institution of slavery is right, wise, and
humane, by citing the condition of the blacks
of the north in distinction 10 those of the
south Very possibly the facts are as he
states, but we are not aware that the conclu-
sion he draws, irrcsistibly follows. Ii is We
ry probable in our opinion, that the climate
may have as much influence in the matters
OF (which he speaks, as any thing else. There
may be many causes to effect the end; at all
events, it will be difficult to make people gc-
morally believe that freedom to the black is
detrimental. But we have not time TO con-
tinue the matter. Our readers Will doubtless
agree with US, thai il is a most extraordinary
document 10 emlna.e from the head Of this
Republic.
When we expressed our opinion in favor
OF annexation, we were well aware of the de-
sgns of Tyler, Calhoun, and others, in de-
string IT, but we saw 10 such result as they
anticipated, and consequently, on that &C
count, did not fear annexation; but we were
not aware of the relations existing between
Mexico and Texas, and in view of them, we
say let us annex as soon as we can do it, and
preserve without reproach, strict honor and
] usilce towards all other nations, but not I'M
til then.

SINGULAR CAsE.-There are now be-
fore the District Cour; two suits, and if
the allegations of the plaintiff in both of
them be proven, they will develop case
of unparalleled hardship, cruelty, and op-
preston.
The principle Of these suits, is that Of
Sally Miller Us. John +. Miller. The
plaintiff, in her petition for trial, repre-
scnts that she is native Of Germany, Of
honest parentage and legitimate birth; that
in early infancy her parents em'graied 10
Louisiana; tha, they soon after died, while
she (Sallyf was yet of tender age, and too
young either to assert or be aware OF her
rights; that she was Illegally aud felonious-
ly seized by John f. Miller; was converted
and seized as s!aye-her natural liberty
was debarred her-she was made TO hold a
place with negroes and those bound in
seryitude, and in every manner treated as
a slave.
For more than twenty years she alleges,
she suffered the hardships and privations
imposed only on the African race, and, as
she believes, 10 the knowledge and by the
direct fundamentally Of the said John f.
Miller, who did well know other free birth,
and who, in defiance OF all law and order,
and justice, and in outrage Of all moral
obligation, did inlet on Ter wrongs which
no time can alleviate and no remuneration
adequately compensate. She further
alleges that she had three children by Mr..
MlIer's overseer who is now dead; that
two Of these children, the eldest Of whom
is thirteen years OF age. are still held as
slaves; that on the 9th July, 1888, she was
herself publicly sold as a slave TO Louis
Belmonte, of this city, who still assumes
ownership Of her. For these, and all
other grievances, she claims from John T.
Miller for damages $4,000.
The second suit which Sally Miller has
brought is against Louis Belmon'e, who
bought her from Miller, and who now
claims ownership in her. We have not
seen the papers in this case, hut learn that
she alleges being-as she does in the other
case--the child of German parents, who
came over 10 this country 10 1918, and
articled themselves for stated period 10
MIR. Miller, who paid their passage money;
that they, as before stated, shortly after
died, and then il was that ownership 10 her
as slave was assumed by Mr.. Miller.
Exceptions have been filed in both cases.

The SECOND Cox ENTIoN AT BALTIMORE
The Bank ticket for Pres den, and Vice pres
ideni, is before the American people, Ii
has been presented by one convention, and
ratified by another-both Of them said To be-
imp ecedented in numbers, unanimi'y and

noon and evening, was Of the most intense
character. In the vicinity of the scenes
of violence, business appeared to be at a
stand, and at every step one met little

the probable and terrible consequences o!
the outbreak, or narrating the latest act oil

hour tecmed Many were actually f:antic

be the case.
