act referred to, tried and convicted, and would
be sold, unless the Justice was prohibited
by this Court-To which the Justice pleaded
the arrest, trial and conviction in bar, and the
plaintiff demurred 10 the plea.
The grounds Of the demurrer, as argued by
the counsel for the plaintiff were. that the act
under which the plaintiff was convicted, was
in violation Of the Constitution Of the United
States-See fourth Article, second Section
which provides that the Citizens Of each
State be entitled to all the privileges and i'm
munities Of citizens in the several Staies.J-
The case was very ably argued on behalf of
Roberts, by Messrs. Thurstcn and Speed.
and on behalf Of the Justice by Guthrie and
Logan, and occupied the Court two days.
Judge Bullock decided, that the free ne
groes were not citizens Of any State Of the
Union, in the sense the word Citizen was
used in the Constitution Of the United States.
His opinion was delivered orally, and | can
only give you the substance Of 1t. He held
the negro was only a sojourner in the United
States, and had no guarantees under the Con-
stitution that he was not a party TO tho So
cial compact, either Of the State Governments
or Of the Government Of the United States,
that any State might drive the free negroes
from their midst; that they were aliens and
stangers in a strange land.
The Judge was about Two hours in deliv-
ering his opinion.
Before his opinion was delivered, I was Of
the opinion that 'citizens,' az used in the
Constitution Of the United States, covered all
classes and conditions Of men who were born
upon our soil, of free parents, and who were
not aliens. But 1t seems that the negro born
in the United States has no country. If this
be true, we may do as the ancient Romans
did, make slaves Of these foreigners-as they
aIa here without projection.
1t would be well if a similar csse 10 that
Of Roberts was taken to the Supreme Court
of the United States, in order that this clause
Of the Constitution might be expounded.

A Remarkable Character.

The Mobile Herald gives the following
sketch of the life Of Pierre Chastang. a free
colored man who died in that city a few days
g -
We hastily announced on Tuesday the
death of Major Pierre Chastang He was so
remarkable a man in many respects, that a
brief sketch of his life will, we are sure, in
terest many of our readers, and, perhaps,
have a beneficial influence upon his own
caste. Pierre was born in 1873, and was
consequently GO years old at his death. He
was the slave Of Jean Chastang, and in 1910
or IL became The property of Regest Ber-
nody.
During the Indian war, the time General
Jackson was in command of the troops in
this city, Pierre, then known 10 the citizens
as a brave, honest, trust worthy man, was
appointed by Jackson PATRON, or captain OF
a government transport, TO carry provisions
to the troops stationed at Fort Montgomery,
or Fort Minis, and TO those in camp near the
present site of Mount Vernon. The under
taking was perilous, as at the time the
whole country was infested with hostile In
dams, and but few persons could be found
to take charge Of an exdedition attended with
so great a risk Of life. Pierre was, however
successful, and reached the troops in safety
with a supply Of provisions, &c.
In 1919. during the ravages of the yellow
fever, Pierre rendered essential service Il
the city by taking care of the sick. and pro
tecting the property Of it's citizens. He an,
one or two other persons were compelled I
act as nurse and sexton. The sickness an,
mortality was so great that il was difficult I
have the patients properly cared for-,hres
four and hve bodies were taken at a time |

We have thus Far spoken with reference

We have thus Ear spoken with reference
only to tho difficulties attending the discus
sion OF the question Of emancipation. But
there is a brighter side TO the subject; there
are advantages as well as difficulties con-
nected with its discussion.
The time in which the discussion is 10
take place, will be favorable. The Presi-
dental election will have been decided.-
The waves Of the stormy sea Of politics will,
for awhile, be- at rest, and men Of all parties
can meet, forgetful of the differences which
divide them as politicians, remembering only
the great interests which unite them as citi-
sens and men.
And in addition to the favoring circum-
stances presented by the time chosen, for the
consideration Of this subject, there are adj
vantages not to be overlooked in the discus
sion itself, OF such a subject. 1t takes mems
minds away from the worn out routine Of
politics and the worse than useless topics Of
partisan warfare. Themes worthy Of mems
contemplation are presented, great and emo
bling thoughts are awakened. The high and
sacred interests Of society pass in solemn re-
view, the claims of justice and humanity
Dome home to the hearts of men. Especially
desirable is it to the young TO receive their
hTst impulses to earnest thought from themes
70 vast and eleyating. Minds thus Impress
ed will not easily sink into low and selfish
thoughts, nor will they voluntarily consent
to become party hacks, to barter away for a
mess Of political pot,age the immortal birth
right Of independence and manliness, of
which every true and noble mind is con-
seieus.
Let the young men, now coming on to the
stage Of active life, have their hearts warmed
and their minds quickened by the gifted and
powerful Of our State-burning words frem
souls all alive with love for humanity, and
our country would have a right to expect
hereafter from those young men glorious
iives-lives consecrated to the highest inte-
rests Of society, noble, sublime. From men
thus introduced into public life, we should
have statesmen instead Of politicians, patriots
in place Of partisans, and not our State only,
hut our country would hail their advent to
tho national councils with gratitude and Joy.

ILLNESS OF MR.. PHILIPS.

Many Of our readers are aware Of the se-
we're and dangerous illness which has recent
ly threatened the life of Wendell Phillips;
and all will be rejoiced to hear tina, i've vio-
lence Is abaied and his condition now oon-
sidered safe, il no unfortunate change takes
place. He was spending the summer at the
house of Loring Moody, when he was seized
with the epidemic dysen,ery, which has been
so fatal along that coast and in other places,
this season. For ten days or a fortnight his
rase was of The most critical kind, and his
danger most imminent.
Nothing but the most assiduous care which
strong affection only can produce could have
saved him. Such care he had, and by its
means, we trust that a life so valuable and
so dear is 10 be given yet longer to the hearts
OF his friends and to the hopes of humanity.

WHAT GEN. TAYLOR NEVER DID.

We take the following summary of Gen.
Taylor's no-desds from the Boston Atlas
"Gen. Taylor mover chewed tobacco-ne-
yer drank any Tum-never smoked a segar-
never owed any man a c~ent--never was sued
never sued any man himself-never was
dunned-never dunned any body-never lost
a battle, and never surrendered"
Without stopping TO inquire how many Of
these no-dseds are hclions, and half of them,
at least, are such, we are inclined to try our
hand at extending the list. Here goes
Gen. Taylor never voted in his life--never
was voted ior-never held a civil ofice-ne-
yer pledged himself to carry out Wing prin-
ciples-never uttered a word in behalf of hu.
man freedom-never emancipated one of the
three hundred men, women and children,
held by him in brutal bondage-never evinc-
ed the first qualification for any civil office,
never distinguished himself but in a war
for the extension of sLsgery-never fought a
battle for the right-never declined to battle
for the wrong-and never showed the least
fear of God or regard for man.-Boston Re
publican.

From The Burlington (Vt.) Free Press.
"1NDEMNITY FOR THE PAST AND
SECURITY FOR THE FUTURE"

This pompous phrase was invented, we
believe, by President James X. Polk, ingen-
iously apolegetic OF his nefsTious war upon
the Mexicans ; a bold stop thief" assump-
ton that indemnify for making war upon
them was a most righteous demand, and Sc
curity for the future" TO come after. some
how or o,her-probsbly hiring them to be
quiet. Well; by the exercise Of the tremen-
dous one.man power which the Constitution
places at the discretion Cor indiscretion) of
the President, and by transcending The legal
power by assuming that Of the House Of Re-
representatives. also, he went TO work with the
whole military, naval and monied resources
Of the country, 10 look after his ex pecied In
demniiy and Security. He had 10000 men
amply supplied with all the munitions of
war, an hundred millions Of dollars, more or
less, the skill and experience Of the ablest
officers in our service at his command mot
to mention the aid Of Santa Anna.) What is
the RESULT He has lost one half Of his 49,
600 men by battle and fell disease; he has
killed twice as many Mexicans, on their
own soil, around their own homes; he has
marched into a dozen cities or so, ill, after
crushing all armed opposition, he sends his
Mr.. Trist, and Mr., Sc vier. and Mr.. Clifford,
to send home in disgrace the Generals who
have fought his battles, and make a treaty
a treaty " looking two ways Of a Sunday"
for that indemnify" AT last the treaty 10
made, sent back 10 the United States, arrives
at Washington, is endorsed by James X.
Polk, is published-and, dear citizen! is it
indemnify that he's been after land has he
got security? Faith ! he just has! But,
"My Gracious !" as Mr.. Bunker would say,
what a way to get indemnity The treaty
provides that the United States shall pay to
Mexico TWENTY MILLIONS OF DoLLARs In
demniiy y and agrees that the United States
troops shall protect them from the incursions
Of hostile Indians. (Seeuriiy.)
The operation reminds US of "Skip" and
the Woodchuck A farmer found a Wood
chuck's hole, and desiring the hide OF the
animal, he called his little dog Skip, and
says he Skip, seek him-go doWn there!--
drag hun OUT" Skip, with a yelp, plunged
into the hole. and was soon engaged in a
desperate conflict with the rightful occupants;
the farmer meanwhile was down on his knees
at the entrance OF the hole. calculating, "Bite
him, Skip take hold Of him Bring him
out!" And from the cessation Of the fight
ing and Juggling, it did appear as though
Skip was bringing him up-but on coming
up to the light, the farmer sprang to his feet
and cried out, by thunder! The Woodchuck's
got SKIP"
