for this would be to attribute to il power above
the Constitution. AS the Legislative agency or IN
strument of the federal institute, il must carry
into effect all the agreements Of the parties, and
protect and enforce all the rights of States or midi
viduals created, recognized or guaranteed by the
Constitution. 1t cannot Establish or "abolish =
the political right TO settle in the Territories with
slave property, any more than it can Establish =
or 'sabolish" the right to settle there with any
other property--one as much the other and not
one more than the other. The Constitution is the
source and arbiter of all our confederate rights.
Congress cannot ''intervene" to Establish any
new right nor s'abolish any recognized right, be-
cause this would be to disturb and alter the rea-
ton of the rights OF the respective parties, adj
justed and regulated by the Constitution.
In this sense ''non-intervention" general
principle Of federal legislation is correct and equal
and, yielding to its fair requirement. we do not
ask the Intervention Of Congress to Establish !"
any right for us to go with slaves to the Terrific
ries; nor will we consent that it shall intervene to

discharge its appropriate function by giving effect
and security to that right.

| Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Bradys
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul

The drawings and engravings of D'Avignon have

Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon
