action against the Unon but such abhorent Aboonss

show their devotion the interests of the slave States but
in reality their whole efforts will be to the seeds Of

done in Tennessee We tell them that Tennessee is
harbor for refuge for clan Of bankrupt poll
tcans whose sole object is to dissolve the Unon that they
may personally profit by the calamity Mo- No let them

but Tennessee will have neither part lot in their infamous
designs The Aboonists of the North would rejoice
and hear of this Convention They approve and would
aid its designs, and Of their abolition halls, hold the

1t has been urged against the fugitive slave bill
passed at the last session Of Congress, that it sus
pends the writ of habeas corpus, and is therefore
in Conflict with the provision of the Constitution
which declares that :" the privilege of the writ of
ha6eas corpus shall not be suspened, unless when,
in cases Of rebellion or invasion, the public safe
ty may require it," This objection was made
while the bill was pending, and after its passage
President Fimore's attention was called 10 it
when he submitted the question TO Mr.. Criltenden.
the Attorney General, who in an able and most sat-
sactory letter, dated September 18th, replies that
there is nothing in any part of the provisions of
the act, which suspends, or was intended to sus-
pend, the privilege Of the writ Of ha6eas corpus or
is in any manner in conflict with the Constitution
Mr.. Crittenden then proceeds to demonstrate, by
reference TO judicial decisions, the constitutional.
ty Of the act, which, of ITSELF he says, "confers no
right on the owner Of the fugitive slave it only
gives him exposed and insecure, but not less
lawful, mode Of selfredress." And in support OF
this opinion refers to the decision OF the u S. Su-
preme Court, In the celebrated case OF Prggs VS.
Commonwealth OF Pennsylvania In that case
they decided that the owner, independent of any
aid from State or National legislation NAV in yir-
ture Of the Constitution and his own right of prop
eny, seize and recapture his fugitive slave. in
whatsoever State he may find him, and carry him
tack TO the State or Territory from which he es-
capped.

A New Kind of Saw.

]. II. Tuttle, Of Seneca, New York, has inven-
ted new and useful improvement on saws, which
is in the teeth. II is not rasping saw, but groov
ing and planning one. The feame teeth are made
at the usual distance apart, with their points set
opposite TO rip two find grooves, and then behind
two such teeth there is one set straight, which
shayes out the wood between the two rip grooves
This is the way the teeth are arranged along the
whole length OF the blade. II may be supposed
from the great age of the saw, that Improvements
on 1t have long been exhausted, but it often hap
pens mat these are just the kind of things on
which great improvements are made now and
then. The steam engine of Hero was two thou
sand years old before any improvements were
made on il; and it is only with the past century
that the plow-the old time honored pIow-was
raised from rude barbarc construction and form
to its present scientific and princely position a.
mong machines. The proof of the value of any
improvement, is its practical test-its use. This
saw has been fairly and fully tried along with 9TH
ers ofthe common construction, and il has been
stated that one man can do as much work with il
in the same time as two with the old kind --Sci-

CouereSsiOal Election.

In all the late elections except in this State,
there is every reason for congratulaton among the
Wings. There has been a decided gain in every
State except this, where the apathy of the party
prevented a similar result. We feel mortified for
the consequences of such indifference The votes
of the people are taken abroad as the expression
Of their wishes, when every one knows the result
of the late election IN this State is not a correct
test of its wants. For instance, President Fill
more remarked to citizen from this Borough,
calling on him in Washington some days ago, that
Pennsylvania did not want Protecton-the gen.
,leman affirmed TO the contrary-but the President
insisted that the peoples votes were their Legsla-
tors only guide to the wants Of the State. Such
is the deleierious influence exerted by this mis-
representation. II those Wings, who neglected to
60 10 the polls and refused their aid in carrying
out the principles Of the party, are made to suffer
for want of proper Legislation, why let them suf-
fer-they deserve it, they have nobody 10 blame
but lhemselves-Min Journal.
