The Constitution.

John Quincy Adams has written the fol-
lowing letter 10 a gentleman of Alexander, in
reference to the retrOcession Of that town to
the State Of Virginia;
Quincy, Mass, Nov. 9th, 1916.
Smith answer to your letter of the Sd
instant, | have no hesitation 10 say, that !
hold the Act relroceding the County of Alex
andria to the State of Virginia as unconstitu-
tional and void. How the Supreme Court
of the United States would consider it, | cam
not undertake to Judge, nor how they could
carry it into execution, should they determine
| their Act unconstitutional, The Constitution
Of the United States
Sat mDgnG n0mintS URibrG.
am, very respectfully, &c.
Your obedient servant,
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
The Latin quotation made by Mr.. Adams,
indicates pretty clearly The position and feel
ings of this venerable statesman, in regard TO
the American Union. He represents the
Constitution now rs being nothing more than
the shadow Of a greaf name. Then, if it be
only a shadow that is left to US, it is at best
but a mockery, and ought not TO be treated as
a reality. The Constitution from the hour
that Slavery moulded and ordained it, il has
been a curse to the cause of human liberty,
and used only for the most tyrannical and
bloody purposes. Let Daniel Webster, the
greatest and meanest of his countrymen, ex-
haust his eulogy upon it, if he will the eff
fort will but render his character base and
contemplate with posterity. What the peo-
pie need is a new governmental free gov
ernment-no slavery-no guarantees to men,
stealers-"NO UNION WITH SLAVE
HOLDERS"

Remember the Anti Slavery Fair,

'AS -AANA 1AN ~ way
To be held in Salem on New Years day. A
social Anti-Slavery party will assemble on
that occasion. Let every one who feels for
the slave be there on that occasion. The
party must be a pleasant one. Come to it
then with your hearts full of sympathy for
the slave.
Those who have poultry, apples, vegeta-
bles, grain, or anything else that can be dis
posed of at the fair, or sent to market if not
sold there, can leave Of these whatever they
are willing TO contribute to the ~Anti-Slavery
cause, at Trescotts' store in Salem.
s'Remem5er those in bonds as bound with
Them and be liberal. Be sure to do some
thing.
Mrs. Chapman, of Boston, speaks thus, of
a contribution from Ohio, for the great Ma
tional Anti-Slayery Fair, to be held in Bos-
ton during Christmas week:
1.-The receipt of a stupendous cheese from
Betsey Nj. Cowles and friends, in Ohio, is
gratefully acknowledged before the usual
time of making such Acknowledgements, for
the sake Of soliciting similar contributions, as
nothing could be more welcome or saleable.
In fact, country produce, of every description,
is sure OF a ready sale, at the highest prices
We hope that another year will find larger
contributions going from Ohio to the Nation,
al Fair, in Boston. S.
