On 6ifft t1H1:S relief ofthe legal representa-
lives of Benjamin Hodges, a debate. pos
sessins much interest, took place to-day III
the House of Representatives, in commit
tee orths whole; Mr.. Sims in The char.
Mr.. Tuck an Abolition member from New
Hampshire, opened The discussion 10 an
hours speech against the claim, Tor
slave taken away from Maryland, al the
close of The las! war, by The Bsl'ish al
though provis;atto payefor similar los-
ses was madeI aSder the treaty Of Ghent'.
He preseyhed1as psual stereotype views,
such as paa#hot take the money of
the people to pay for slaves" "lhey are
not property" "we ask TO he exemI I from
the curse and sin OF the inslilulion;" and 10
crown his ahsurdiics, he pcrIinaciously
insisted that in The case of Groves VS..
Slaughter, the Supreme Courr through
Justice John Mclean, decided that slaves
are not property under the Constitution Of
the United States. Mr.. Burr desired 10
put the gentleman on his guard, and asked
distinctly whether he underslo ID him to
say that the Supreme Court had made such
a decision. Mr.. Tuck read from The book,
'that slavery is local and municipal in
stilutiS4i, and the holding Of slaves is only
in virtue Of municipal regulations and hc
said that this was the decision Of The Su>
preme Court!
MIR. Rhex. who reported tho bill under
consideral ion, iom the Committee on For
eisn Affairs, made plain statement Of the
case; and in very few words, showed that
Mr.. II. was wrong from beginning 10 eud.
Great Britain, by The treaty Of Client,
agreed TO pay for slaves rakcn away by
her vessels on1he American coast. There
was some doubt as to the terms ofihe t:ca>
~; reference wasJmade to tic Emperor
Alexander, of Russia, and he decided that
Great Britain should pay. Great Britain
agreed 10 a commission, and list Of
claims was made out; by another Conven.
lion however, she agreed to pay round
sum Of money, between II and l3 thou
sand dollars, and our Government conscn-
ted 10 lake it, and satisfy the claimants.
Our government. i'll factassumcd The pay
1nenl with the British money.-Claimanls
have been satisfied. There yel remains
sum Of Two thousand dollars in The lrcasu.
nv, and from this claim of the legal repre-.
sentalives Of Mr.. Hodges was TO be dis
charged. Mr.. Rhelt took occasion TO give
the fanatics good beating, which their
friends in the Hall did not relish, as mat
ter OF course.
Ihave already remarked that Mr.. r, asked
several times. whether he understood Mr..
Tuck TO say that The Supreme CUur ofrhe
Uniled States decided through Justice
Mclean, that slavery was not prnpcrty
underthe Constitution ofIhe United States.
