from the general spirit or special provisions OF
the Constitution; thus giving Congress the
power, if it chooses to exercise it, of making
the President king Of the ten miles square, and
declaring themselves, like the British Parliament,
omnipotent there. What is this, but making
the Constitution mere farrago of contradictory
provisions, any one of which may be brought to
bear against all the others? All these princi-
Piles are either distinctly avowed and recognized
in the published proceedings of the great ma
tional Union meetings, or strictly deducibIe
from their unqualified approval of the Compro-

We understand that Mr.. Yulee has been nom

Whether Mr.. Y. will be elected, however, is
somewhat uncertain, as parties are nearly bal
anced, and a few Democrats are opposed to him
on personal and other grounds. The other gen-

of Senator, approve Mr. Yulee's course on the
Southern question. Mr.. Mallory, whose name

The Rsdemption Of chaplin.

The result of the CHAPLIN affair shows with
what entire impunity the emissaries of the
higher law cannot only plan, but perpetrate afro
cities He has been bought off from the con-
dign punishment which would have been visited
on the head of any offender who was not backed
by such an array Of friends-and the State of
Maryland may whistle for him hereafter As
with the BARRETT case in South Carolina, his
case might now be stricken off the docket, for no
one believes that he will ever return to stand his
which he so diabolically prepared, and even the
peeuniary satisfaction obtained will not come out
of his pocket, but out of the fund devoted to the
purposes of abolition.
GERRIr SMITH, the notorious abolition leader,
assumed $4,000 of the fine himself, and instead
of being martyr, CHAPLIN will receive promo
zion for his distinguished services.
The Albany Argus referring to this case, thus
sums up the result, which we presume is to be
regarded as another compromise to be acquiesced
in with due gratitude and humility.
VI 1hc ShArLlN nFfAlh-MT.
Chaplin, the negro abductor, and the abolition
candidate for Governor of this State, passed
through this city on Thursday, on his way west
ward--having been released on bail in the sum
of $4,000. OF course, as the Register sug-
gests he will be the lion at the abolition three
days fandango at Syracuse-and of course will
notappear again down South, unless under re-
QUESTION from the Executive of Maryland.
Our readers ought perhaps to have been ap-
prsed before that this protracted meeting at
Syracuse has been called for the purposes set
forth in the following appeal to wooly heads"
in general:
"Similar conventions are to be held in other
of the free States, and we trust, before the end
of the present session of Congress- message
will be sent thither from the entire North, that
will admonish the oppressors of the South, and
their more unprincipled abettors, that they have
,cdked mp the lion-that they must recede from
the daring encroachments that they have made
upon Northern sentiments aud Northern liber-
ties-must annul that wicked bill, or consent
that it must be at once dead letter, or expect 10
see this American Union deluged in blood"
Among the signers to this call, it should be
stated also, is the candidate for canal commits
sioner in ls4S, run by the Free-soers" on the
same ticket with Mr.. Van Buren, for President.

Hungarians in their late struggle for independ-
ence, &c. &c.
MIR. CASS said that much of that document
would be good matter for speech on the Aus.
trian question. He moved that the correspond.
ence be referred to the Committee on Foreign Re
latior,s, and be printed.
| Mr.. UNDERWOOD said TO public document
for long time had afforded him so much satislac-
ton this. IL would reco amend itself to the
heart Of every American, as occupying the true
| American ground. He hoped some extra copies
would be printed
Mr.. RUSK moved 5 900 extra copies.
| Mr.. WALKER thought, that as this correspon-
dence would be published by every journal in the
country, this extra printing would be more than
| idle.
Mr.. MANGUM thought, this correspondence
| ought to be preserved the true exposition oil
our national sentiment with respect TO foreign
nations, and as rebuke to the insolence OF Aus
trIa and he moved, therefore, the printing OF
| 10000 extra copies.
Mr.. RUSk accepted the motion for 10000.
Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS opposed this extra
printing, this making too much OF small Office.
The correspondence embraced an exposition OF
American sentiments that they were entertained
by the whole country, and no one dsavowed them
After further remarks between Messrs. MAN
GUM. JEFFERSON DAVIS, WALKER and RusK,
Mr.. CLAY rose and said that our foreign at
fairs matters ofde!icacy, and should be treated
with great caution and great Difference. While
we deplored the fate of Hungary-her fate was
sealed. There was Il" end to it. Is il worth while
to continue to irritate Austria and Russia with
things gone by Let us put ourselves in the pos.
sition Of Austria, and how would we have acted
under similar circumstances. He concurred in
the general tone of the reply to the Austrian min
ster but Mr.. CLAY doubted the position taken,
that the submission of Mr.. MAINS instructions to
the Senate and their publication was domestic
affair, OF which there occasion for the Aus
trian government 10 complain. Domestic ques-
tons Of this sort may very properly become a
subject of diplomatic correspondence. He saw
no necessity for the extra copies. We had great
destiny to fulfil and it was our duty to act with
circumspection in reference to our affairs with for
eign nations.
The motion to print the 10000 extra copies was
lost. Is TO 81.
Various reports were made, and several bills
were considered Of local character.
SOLDIERS BOUNTY LANDS.
A joint resolution was received from the House,
explaining the bounty land law of last session, to
provide for the assignment Of land warrants to
other persons, from the soldiers or others TO whom
the bounty is due.
Mr.. FELCH moved to refer the subject to the
Committee on Public Lands.
Messrs, DonGE Of Iowa, UNDERWOOD, WALK
Err, EWING, JOHN DAVIS, FETCH, and TURNEY de-
bated the question involved, and the subject was
referred.
And after some other incidental business, the

The New York Case.

We give from the New York Herald con-
tinuation of the proceedings in the New York
Fugitive slave case, which is progressing by slow
and easy stages. The city papers themselves
sheer at the manner in which the frivolous pleas
for delay are countenanced. The Day Book says
FuelrIvE SLAVE CAsE-The proceedings in
this case Yesterday were as notified as n circus
horse and amounted to just about the same as
the galoping round and round of that animal.
The scene opened in the Supreme Court, where
Mr. Jay aud his fellow counsel for the negro
spent several hours in bullying the judge and
embarrassing the case with all sorts of absurd
pretenses; after which he moved for the dsmis
sal of the writ, and for the granting of another
on the ground that tie prisoner is not held by
any court of competent jurisdiction, and second
ly, that he "owes service" to person unknown
in Virginia.
The writ was granted, (the other being dis
missed) returnable forthwith.
Mr.. Jay then set up pretense that Commits
sioner Hall was not Commissioner, and asked
that the case be taken out of his custody The
polite request was, however, declined by Judge
Campbell, who left the slave in the custody OF
the United States Marshal.
Before the Commissioner the investigation
was continued, with very much the same spirit
on the part of the counsel for the slave. Among
other things Mr.. Jay produced an affidavit OF
the slave himself stating that he WIS free
citizen of New York, asking for a postpone
ment of the case for the purpose Of procuring
testimony! Notwithstanding that the case has
been in progress since Monday morning, and
that Mr.. Jay himself stated that he only required
six hours to produce his witnesses, the post
ponement was granted.
The Sunday Times says:
The FUGITtvE SLAVE CAsE.--We publish
under the Local" head a brief abstract of the
proceed ngs in the case Of Long, the fugitive
slave The game is plain one among the Abo.
tionists. 1t is to defeat the spirit and letter
of he law, by delays and indefinite postpone
nents, growing out of applications to various
Judges for writs of habeas corpus, returnab'e on
different days-one of them at the next term OF
the Supreme Court, week hence. The Com
missioner should demand the proof that the
fugitive claimed is slave, and, fit is clear and
satisfactory, surrender him instanter-if not
discharge him forthwith. No attention should
be given to any writs issued from State courts
which are intended to nullify the act of Con.
gress. The process under this law is a safe and
summary one, and must not be rendered null
and void by vexatious delays.
The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1850-12-31
Another Case.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican publishes,
the following case, without comment:
FUG1r1vE SLAVE CASE IN SPR1NGFELD.-A
man from Schenectady, N. y, came into Spring
field, and claimed black woman who resided
here, married, and with family as slave She
was taken before Geo. Bliss. esq. where the
claim was established, according to the law in
such cases. The woman was given up as the
claimants property, when several of our benev-
client citizens, including Daniel Lombard, esq,
one of our most estimable men, obtained terms,
dubbed together, and purchased her Of her mas
ter for the sum of 800. Mr.. Lombard holds
the bill of sale in his possession. The tears of
sorrow exhibited by the afflicted woman, and the
husband from whom she was about to be sep
arated, were thus changed to tears of joy, and a
more happy pair probably never was seen. This
is the operation Of the Fugitive slave law in
Springfield. There was no excitement or dis
turbance The law was allowed to take its
course.
High and exultant will be the clamorous re,
joicings of the Northern compromises. and the
Southern "bluster and back outs" over this re,
markable example of the efficacy Of the law
But alas through inaduertency! or some other
cause the important fact was omitted that the
incident happened fprty years ago. And in re-
ferring to it, the Albany Eoening journal makes
the following comment:
"The N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, in copy
ing this paragraph, omts to say that the case oc
Cured forty years ago.
The price Of fugtives is riz,' since Mr.. Pete
v. Geyseling, of Schenectady, went TO Spring
field tJ reclaim his slave Jenny"
We put this fact on record, because in thei
anxiety to clutch at every crumb of comfort
some of the Southern submissionists will doubt
less reproduce this satisfactory case in which the
master received the prodigious bonus Of 800
for relinquishing his claim to his slave.
They pay in very different coin now, al
Messrs. HUGHES and KNIGHT can testify from
their experience in Boston--the claimants being
the hunted fugitives"
