The slave Clause in the Constitution

l
1t is high time our people began to think sc.
riously about the proposed alteration in the
constitution upon which they will be required
to vote in November. A writer in the Vicks-
burg Wing under the signature Of ''Southron''
opposes the amendment on the following
grounds:
"Kentucky, already tired Of her slaves, only
now awaits favorable opportunity to unlcOss
upon us her black population. 1t will not be
long before that State emancipgtes her slaves
or passes some law liberaung her blacks born
after certain period. This must have the inn
mediate effect of throwing her own slaves upou
us in the south, and we may justly anticipate
most Of them will find their way TO this State
We have now too many. Our slave population
exceeds greatly, our white. To increase this
class, will but add some day to the danger we
may encounter in separation with the north.
The world is against US. The North who have
entalled this evil upon us, and who should be
our friends, will be the first 10 set FIRE to the
magazine upon which we are reposing. Eng
land from motives Of interest, would gladly a.
vail herself of this opportunity to'prostra,e us
and the North would not be too kind to join
her in fastening Us on our ruin. As our dan
ger increases the motive to injure us becomes
greater to foreign and northern fanatics.
"Apau from these considerations, we must
injure ourselves in another point Of view, SHOULD
we al ow the introduction ofsayes. We should
lessen the value Of those we have, and increase
the growth of cotton, aud consequently in
crease the very evils Of which we complain.
at is our duty--it is the duty Of the South
to prohibit the Introduction Of more slaves to
the cotton and sugar regions. Do this and
Kentucky will evince less philanthropy, and
less haste in lbersting her slaves.
LISA subject which deserves serious consid-
Grafton and discussion, and should be entirely !
clear Of party influences. We wish some II
our planters would let US hear from them on
this ubjeet.l---S0uttron.

A Knife and Fork Jury.

Few things have pleased us more than the
announcements that $50 unexpected was the
verdict Of acquittal Of Lord viscount Dillon at
the Surrey sessions,n in the turnpike case, that
after the discharge Of the jury, tho "tweivs
gentlemen, at the invitation Of his Lordship,s
solicitor, proceeded TO a neighboring tavern,
where they were most literally trea,ed.- We
are delighted to hearit. The fret proves that
there is gratitude in law; that suornies hare
bowels. We think thai the example 90 wisely
Get by Lord Dillon's solicitor might be follow.
ed, to the exceeding comfort Of all men sum
moncd on juries. We would propose that, in
all civil actions, the two parties should each
send in to the iuy-box bill of fare, to be
served up for dinner BY tie winning party.
Thus, instead OF the jury being compelled :.
listen to witnesses, and to the shocking sophis-
tisa,iOns Of council on both ss@s, they would
only have to judge Of the relative exceIlsnee Of
the feast promised BY either party, and to re-
turn their verdict accordingly. whereupon
they might retire to q neighborinr tavern, and
like Lord Diilon's iuy-driak the eIeriou.
