Law OF lS33.

For particulars as to Legislative action on this
act, see summary of Legislative proceedings.
OF the various propositions, votes, &C.. we
shall speak more at large hereafter. The Com
monwesLth thinks the Senate will pass the
House BILL modifying the act Of 1888 May be
so. We believe, however, that il will fail again
in that body.
Two things just now are worthy of note.
First, the proposition of Mr.. JUDp, prohibit
ing the trading in imported slaves as merchan-
die. Thirty-six members voted for this agains,
ffty-six.
Second, the proposition of Mr.. Chiffon, pro-
hibiting the sale Of slaves imported within three
years after such importation. Mr.. NEWELL
avowed the object of this amendment to be, 10
forbid slaves being traded in as " merchandise. -
A" This amendment" said Mr.. HAscA RID, muir
dered the bill''-but the House would not pass
the latter without the former.
Thus amended, the bill passed the House
The .vcte will be found under the Legislative
head. In one sense it is tOrpard move, as il is
a Legislative acknowledgement that cold blood
ed monieG traffic in man is wrong. "The
amendment" said Mr.. NEWELL, "wil be bal
to trading in saves as merchandise" Let the
State make this the law as regards all, forbdding
the separation of families, and emancipation
will be effectively begun.

twenty millions of dollars, land nobody knows
now much inore,) Of which we of the North
nao 10 pay our share, sooner than southern
slaves should get away from their owners.
But time is wasting, and must pass entirely
oyer many things, and lightly over many others.
AS TO this political aspect of the slave question,
now has II delt with our Right of Petition, and
our rsedem of Speech and Of the Press-the
Two last belonging to the inheritance of our An
gio Saxon manhood, the former commonly re-
coghizei IN the poorest vassal that crouches be-
lore dtspot's throne. For several wears, the
petiiions OF our constituents for the redress of
wlat they felt to be offensive grievances were
contenptuousy thrown back by a standing re-
gulation Of this House; and now the most that
we nave gained is, that they may 20 into the
hands OF the Committee on the District, which
Committee, IL Is just as well understood as IL it
were formerly set down and ordained in your
Rules and Orders, is to do its office by simply
burying them out Of sight, and taking care that
they be no more heard of forever.
Liberty OF Speech, and liberty of the Press,
what are they worth in nearly half of the States
OF this Union, If one would exercise them in re-
iation To the great moral social, and political
question Of the time7 On that subject, within
those borders, who does not know that man is
not to speak or print his mind, except at peril
OF life and limbl Nor does personal liberty, in
certain circumstances, fare better By the Con-
stitution Of Massachusetts, established in 1850.

srrl Constitution, which went into operation in
1859, all ''eifixens of each State are entitled to
all privileges and immunities of citizens in the
several States" By the Constitution of Massa.
chusstts, say, freedom is universal within her
limits, and citizenship has nothing to do with
color. There was never an act cf Emancipation
in that Commonwealth. Emancipation took
place by force of the organic law. Three years
after lis adoption, colored man prosecuted a
white for assault and battery. The fact was adj
mitted' but justified on the ground that the
black was slave, and that the assault was the
lawful ehastisement Of the master. The court
held, that under the clause Of the Bill of Rights
declaring that call men are born free and equal,
and have certain natural, essential, and inaiien
able rigats, among which may be reckoned the
right Of enjoying and defending their lives and
liberties" Language almost copied from that
written by Virginian pen in the declaration
OF lndependence,) no such relations as those OF
master and slave could subsist in Massach usetts
The master was convicted and fined, and slavery
took its last leave of her jurisdiction.

Patience and Faith People will do right
they cannot afford to do wrong--it is too costly
to sacrifice the good opinion of others, and their
own self-respect.
We have an example Of this in Mississippi
At first, her people, her members in Congress
made light of repudiation-bl pffed off rudely
all who denounced the act, or doubted the honol
of the State. Yet on the 18th, the members o
her legislature, without distinction of party
and by an overwhelming majority, (only ont
Senator and four Representatives voting against
it, resolved to redeem the faith of the State.
SO it will be with every wrong. Especial!
will it be so, with the great wrong of slavery
II public opinion be right on this subject--if a
home and abroad people say right must b
done, it will be done.
Be patient, have faith, and labor on. Thes
virtues will CONQUER the greatest Of human ills
