WASHINGTON Cry, Feb. 81, 1919.
You will perceive tha' Judges Cranch and
Murse!l, composing a majority Of the Cifcui!
Court, have sustained the most important IL
the exceptions taken to the verdict rendered
against Draytop, The negro s%lealer, in the Dis
lricl Court, and have Temanded The case tor a
new trial. The decision OF The Cour, Judge
Dunlap dis>enling) asserts, that concealins slaves
on board OF a vessel, and running of with lhem
during The night, is not larceny; that the prisoner
was wronefully convicted; and that he must have
a new trial, when, in all probability he will be
acquitted.
BY this decision the citizens OF the District are
deprived Of all The protection OF The law Tor their
property in slaves, AMI The Abolitionists and
iheir emissaries may run them of at pleasure
Thus, one by one, are The Constitutional rights OF
the sla We holder invaded by Federal Legislation
and The Federal Judiciary, and step by step at-
vance the Entertainments Of Northern ianaticism
and insolence, until scarcely a shadow Of securi.
" Tor The institution exists beyond The hounda-
~ OF the sla vcholdins States, and the next
movement, and il will mol long be delayed, wii'
be an assault upon slavery and the slave trade
in and between The States. Judge Cranch who
has controlled Ibis decision, is one OF The relics OF
The administration OF the elder Adams, by whom
he was appointed 10 his present office, ar 4 tcw
years since signed a memorial for The abolition
OF slavery in the District.

s Affairs in Europe are drawing TO crisis,
the revolution of France, which was the signal
for all Europe to arise and break their chains,
has been IA deceptive, false light, and ignis
tutums which has led the friend of liberal
governments every where to unfurl the fiag
Of liberty only in the end to encounter bitter
and hopeless disappointment. The Roman
Republic has been evcrthrown, all Italy has
been compelled to submit to Austria, Venice
aeone holds out, but must shortly yield, the
petty principalties and electorates of Germa-
ny have united under monarchy, Denmark
and Russia have made feacc. The people
have in some countries, obtained n show of
freedom, but things are settling down upon
the old monarchical platform, and all these
mis:ortuncs have been brought about by the
treachcry Of the French government, which,
under the gard of Republic, has been stead
lily attempting &c revive legitimacy, which has
dethroncd one King to place another in
power. In less than one year things will be as
they were, the power of thrones has been only
shaken, they still remain firm. The only relief
of these sad reflections is to contemplate the
brave struggles making by the IIUsGARIASs
against the impenalists; it isa noble picture Of a
gallant people fighting against immense odds
All that they will attain will be the respect
and admiration oftle world, for, while Europe
ls at peace, how is it possible that Hungary
alone can atand against the million of well
disciplined soldiers which Russia and Austria
can bring against them. Hungary may har-
rass them, but in the end they must triumph.
