Every State represented voted in the
affirmative. while but one single delegate
Mr.. Yates. Of New York, voted against it.
Thus was this great measure offreedom
carried. There was then no complaint
that southern rights were invaded. No
sectiona al jealouses were suffered to inter-
fere with the performance Of the high duty
which the statesmen of that day consid-
cred they owed to their country and TO
posterity.
The policy of restricting slavery was
thus early manifested. The same policy
was adhered to whenever the opportunity
was presented of carrying it out
MIR. Cobb, of Georgia. here inquired,
whether the extension of slavery had not
been contemplated in the formation of the
Constitution, as was manifested by adj
hitting the importation Of slaves as late
as 1903.
Mr.. Smith replied, that the extension of
slavery was not contemplated. but the
very reverse. The limitation of the right
to import slaves. TO the year 1905. to
which the gentleman from Georgia has
referred, is Of itself evidence OF the inten-
ton Of restricting it. That clause Of fhe
Constitution is a restrictive clause Be-
fore the adoption of the Constitution, the
right to import slaves was unlimited The
Constitution limits the rights TO twenty
years. and prohibits it entirely after tha.
period.
The principle of restricting slavery was
afterwards admitted and carried out in
regard to the Louisiana territory. to which
l have before referred. That Territory
came into the Union as slave territory;
and the Missouri compromise was COM
promise of the extent TO which slavery
should be restricted. No instance has
ever occurred in which the General Gov
eminent has extended slavery. II has
never been carried under the sanction oil
the United States into territory which was
before free. The compromises which have
heretofore been made, have been as to the
extent TO which il should be restricted
The attempt is now made, for the frs
time, to extend it.

and is an old widow. Her son plead on the

bench with her. No lady could be chosen

Della. why do you call a lady Did? That
used to be vulgar
"Yes, but not now. Women have a right
10 grow old. Age is honorable as well for
them as men. Women are not merely valu-
ed for approximation youth or beauty
They do not wear false braids to cover their
grey hairs-their crown of honor. A young
lady's education does not merely consist in
learning 10 catch a husband. They are not
forced TO marry for a living or a position, as
they can easily gain both ithout, so that we
have more disinterested matches. 1t is no
more inconvenient now to be an old maid than
an old bachelor. The fickleness of fashion
is much lessened-and per consequence, ex-
travagance and envy are on the decrease

ten to the creed Of the Yankee philanthro-
pist:-
"We believe Columbus discovered a new
world under the guidance of "A wise Provi-
dence, the end Of which was to be the plant
ing of a true liberty, for which there was no
soil In the old world, ard which should not
only shelter the races of one continent, but
cast a protecting shadow over the world.'
On that tree Of American liberty--watered
as it is with the blood of thousands and I'M
der whose sheItering branches men, women,
and children are bought and sold, and strip
ped like cattle! The growth of the re-
public has been the growth" of an OGRE
fed upon human flesh. The ogre "swallow-
ed up the Indian races, because they could
not be absorbed by civilization; and no one
doubts the beauty and benefit ofthe change"
But American freedom sis destined by actu-
al presence or influence 10 absorb all that
comes in contact with it," If this be true,
Punch will on his next visit to the seaside,
kneel reverentIy upon the shore, and bless
"a wise Providence" that has placed the
Ocean betweenN New York and London
Punch.
