the right to carry their human chattels where
ever they are not forbidden by law. Were
it not for the organic law of the free Suites,
they could not claim exemption from slavery.
Uniform experience has demonstrated tlat Ia
this Union, under our form of government,
the only barrier against the extension of sla-
very is, positive prohibition. Where citizens
of every State are yearly cmigrating to other
States or the new Territories, and where one
half of the States are slaveholdine, it is OBJ
vious TO any man who is not determined to
deceive himself or others, that slavery will
spread wherever law does not interfere. II
the Californians do not provide against its
existence in their Constitution, whit hope is
there dat they will do by special statute P
AND if they do not make provisions in either
way, have we not a right TO infer their as
sent TO its existence Thomas Butler King
removes to the new State with his slaves
what is to deprive him of them ? Not the
organic law, and no statute law of the State.
Who will take the trouble, who incur the
expense and risk of hunting up some old
Mexican law, a%rraigning the Senator before
a court presided over by Peter IL. Burnett,
and then, If necessary aud possible, carving
the case up through the interminable stages
of an uncertain, harrossing, costly litigation,
to the Supreme Court of the United States,
the majority of which is composed of Judges
from ~slaveholding States? This was Mr..
Clayton's plan, bul the members of Congress
from the free States vetoed it. This was
Senator Walkers plan, for introducing which
he was impaled by the editor Of the Tribune.
But this is the only refuge for liberty which
this editor nowt thinks necessary! ".No mai
ter even if without express prohibition of
Slavery in their Constitutions"
Here is a specimen OF the very conclusive
way the subject of slavery is to be disposed
of in the New States. We copy from a pa
per representing the would-be State of Desc
RET, published in the very number of the Tri-
pune which discloscs the editors abandon
ment of the ground of the Wilmot Proviso.

From the Frontier Guardian, Sept. 10.
"SENr1MENT FROM THE VALLEY.-Ir regard
to the Wilmot Proviso, Slavery, &c, we wish
you to distinctly understand, that our desire is
to leave that Su5, Get to tie operation Of time, cir
cuntStaaces, and the common d,o; that zee IRISH
not to NEEDLE wih this SUBJECT, but bdee these to
their natural course. Political parties, that a
breath creates and a breath destroys, cannot af-
feet us particularly, when we arc SO far from
the scenes of strife. 1t cannot be expected that
we, in this distant region, should as fully parti-
clpaIe III mere local DIVISIONS as you, however
much our interest may be affected.
The subject was cleft to time, circum-
stances, and the common law" in this coun-
try, the people did so hate TO NEEDLE with it,
and the result is seen in u population of near
three millions of slaves. Away with these
detestable subterfugcs! For Gods sake, let
the non-slaveholders of the country, for once,
stand their ground against slavery. Perish
all evasions, all compromises, all reflges of
lies, and all their supporters!
