the power Of Congress and TO local Legislation.
He replied with great force and acutcncss TO the
arguments of Mr.. Calhoun and MIR, Benien.-
That the South has an equal right TO all the ter
riiory acu,Nred by the Union he conceded Ehat
the Southern people have right IT, remove WIN
their property to this territory he granted; Out
he insisted that they must hold It subject TO The
laws of the jurisdiction. That slaves were pop
eriy in the sense that chattles are property, ne
denied and showed that they were property
only as an Incident to a domestic relauon-in
the same manner in which master has a right
In the service of an apprentice, or a parent TO
the rervices of o child. AS soon as the relation
was dissolved the property in the person ceased
in each case. The Constitution recognized slaves
as property only in this sense, and, therefore, de-
fined them es "persons held to labor or service
The existence of this property must depend
on local Jurisdiction. The law Of the civilized
world was that property of this sort depended on
local jurisdiction, and that slave taken out OF
that jurisdiction into one where slavery Is not
recognized, is, by that fact, free. slavery was
not, as Mr.. Calhoun had argued, recognized ny
the Constitution but for the clause IN the Con
stnution for the recovery of "persons held TO la
bur," every runaway slave would become Tree
the moment he reached free State. The re-
corn,iun of the Constitution was founded on
that assumption. The South cannot carry slaves
as property, into other jurisdictions, because they
Gull them property 10 their own peculiar jutlsdc
ton. The whole basis of slave property was II
local legislation; and if the people Of the Uni
ted States could be convinced that it does moi
rest on local Jurisdiction they would extinguisf
1t. Local jurisdiction was the only plank upon
which the institution rested.
In fine, Mr.. Phelps argued that the Soutf
could possess and enjoy equal rights and advan
tages in all the new territory of the Unltet
States, without carrying slaves into it as proper
iy. The cau OH the part Of the South, was, II
fact, right to force the institution Of slavery
npon the vast region which was destined to forn
part o the Union; and, thus the genius of sIa
very was put above the power either of he gen
eraI government or OF the local govern 9snts
above all human control
If the doctrine was to be persisted in by% Thu
South which had been advanced here, that NJ
boundaries were TO be set 20 slavery, then tn,
prospect of any settlement OF this question wa
very distant.

Wing State Convention.

We trust the Wings will remember the State
Convention to be holden at Woodstock on the
18th, and send delegates from every town. Let
there be full understanding of the views and
feelings of the Wings in every portion of the
Statc-a free interchange of opinions and coun-
sci; so may the deliberations of the convention
result in wise action, and meet with hearty re-
sponsc from the Wings at the polls. The Bos-
ton Atlas says that Gen. LESLIE CoomBs of
Kentucky will be present-one of the most eff =
cient speakers in the West.

SAD CASUALTY.

As Jonathan Smith ESQ.,, postmaster Of Chel-
sea, was descending hill into Chelsea village
on Wednesday last, ina carriage containing Mr..
s., his wife and three children, the horse stumb-
led, throwing all the inmates of the carriage
down steep bank. Mr. Smith was taken up
horribly mangled and dead and his wife was
greatly, and it was feared MORALLY injured. The
children escaped without serious harm, and one
of them was the first to bring intelligence of the
distressing accident to the people of the village.
Mr.. Smith was merchant, and man highly es-
leemed.

FOURTH OF JULY,

For the first time in many years the glorious
fourth was celebrated in the old fashioned patr-
otto style-politics banished, and the day really

children. We say the old fashioned style-but
not without qualification. There was nothing
military, beyond the spiritstirring flies and drums,
interchanging with the more modern music OF
the brazen instruments admirably played by the
Montpelier Band. The toasts, too, were listen.

provided nothing but water for the occasion.-

LETTERrRom GEN. TAYLOR TO ABBoT LAW
REncE.-We cut the following communication
from the last number Of the Northampton Cour-
ier:
Mr.. Editor; ] perceive that you call for the
"evidence" which Mr.. Abbott Lawrence posses.
SEES, concerning Gen. Tayor's political views
happen to know some little of the matter, and
will state what ! know, for the benefit of the
public. The " evidence" is contained in a let
ter from Gen. Taylor to Mr.. Lawrence, and tho
this letter is, believe, private, still it certainly
ought to be published. In one place, he says IN
effect, and think in SO many words, that he sis

words, "D elected 10 The Presidency, shall select
my cabinet from The PUREsT AND ABLLsT WHIGs
IN THE UNION" These words | knotC to be con-
tanned in this letter, and if I mistake not there
is more TO the same effect. hope you will give
publicity to this statement and obligo

Correspondence of the N. Y. Express. !

WASHINGTON, July 5.
met in Pittsburg, few days since, one of
the Taylor Electors for Louisiana, an intelligent
and patriotic Southron-one every inch man,
and without sectional prejudices, or strong par
tisan anmosites. He knew Gen. Gen. Taylor
intimately, and assured me that while the old
General would adhere to the Constitutional
rights of the South with unfinching tenacity
and abiding faith, he was nevertheless opposed
to the extension of slavery over free territory
Gen. Taylor had his reasons for this, and they
show him m be a man OF infinite sagacity, and
