The Coalition In New York.

The tone of the New York Post, in regard
TO the proceedings Of the Syracuse convention,
is like that of the man with two voices. This
but objects to the resolutions on which they
We're presented to the people 1t denies, in
deed, that the convention were responsible for
the resolutions, though it adopted them; and
denounces them, as far as the slavery question
is concerned, as the ''merest and most pitable
dwelling in the world"
The convention, it seems, reaffirmed the res
olutions of the Baltimore convention of 1874.
These resolutions took the same ground on In
ternal Improvements and the Tariff, that has
been so long occupied by the Virginia school OF
politicans-the Abstractionistsa and Disunionists
They denounce all interference with the ques-
tons of slavery, as calculated to lead to the
most dangerous and alarming consequences.
The Post thinks that it was poor entertain
ment for the people to inform them that the
convention is in favor of Oregon up to $40 40
although eight degrees Of latitude have been
given up to Great Britain" This is a plea
SAINT Renaissance for our Democratic friends
The Post is pleased, too, with the information
that the Convention were full Of zeal for the
immediate annexation Of Texas, though the
school books state that it was annexed some
years ago We presume that the Post recol-
lects another circumstance connected with this
annexation, though it is not to be found in the
school books. 1t may find some allusion to il
in Mr.. WEBsTER's speech of the 7th of March
The fact to which we allude is tho notorious
one that Texas was annexed, and that Tho
predicted consequences Of that annexation were
brought upon us, by the very men who have
since been so exceedingly clamorous on the
subject of Free-soil

"R.jected Addresses."

Since the burning Of Drury Lane, VIC believe, no
scaled proposals. for public poetry have been re-
spondcd to with such promputude and proiusion as
thosc lately advertised by Mr.. Barnum. There
were just hundred and fifty tickets in the song
lottery, and it is said that the truly fortunate
holder as is often the case is not the most desery
ing adventurer. The metrical bidders, however,
incensed with the papable want Of taste in the
lection, have appealed TO the million. Mr.. soly-
man Brown announces to these indignant bards,
that If they will, in addition to the "timc, labor and
money" already laid out and expended, incur the
further outlay Of postage he will pour their songs
and sorrows into the ears Of a discerning public,
and sec that they have at least a fair shake.

FUoITIvE SLAvEs.-Judge MCLEAN, in a recent
suit for damages, brought against Leander New

away slaves, made charge, the points of which
are thus reported in the Western Lato Journal
The State of Indiana, May Term, 1850.
John Norris Us. Leander Newton ct al.
l. Under the Constitution of the United States,
the master of fugitivcs from labor may arrest them
wherever they shall be found, If he do 30 with
out breach of the peace, and take them back TO
the State from whence they fled
> A State judge, on proper affidavit being made,
may issue writ OF habeas corpus, and inquire into
the GAUGE of detention.
g. The affidavit OF colored person is sufficient
for this purpose.
4. Every person within the Jurisdiction of State
owes TO il allegiance. He ia amenabe TO the
laws of the State and the State is bound to protect
him in the exercise of his legal rights.
>. When it appears, by the return of the habeas
corpus, that the fugitivcs in the legal custody
of the master and the facts of the return are not
denied, there is end to tie jurisdiction of the
State Judge.
g. His Jurisdiction is special and limited.
7. When il appears the fugitives are held under
the authority of the Union, it is paramount to that
ofthe State.
s. And 30 when an individual is held under the
authority of a State, the Federal Judiciary have no
power to release the person held
9. If the return to the habeas corpus be denied,
the master must prove that his custody Of the slave
is legal.
10 IL he fail to do this, or make an insufficient
return, the State judge may release the fugitives
IL. But the master may subsequently, arrest them
and prove them 10 be bis slaves.
u. The master, though he may arrest without
any exhibition of claim, or judicial sanction, when
required, must show right to the services of the
fugitiyes.

ment Of the rights of the South. The innova-
tons have been made and these infringements

a compliance with the spirit of the law passed
by the last Legislature, in harmony with the
tone Of her entire population, come up and
"face the music" and elect such men to the Con-
vention as will by an honorable bearing show to
our oppressors that the spirit Of l776 CLOVIS in
the South---that we entertain sacred regard
for the Constitution. Such men as will lay
down the lines beyond which "forbearance ceases
to be virtue,n and which will be the utlimatd
of endurance by the South, and particularly by
the State Of Georgia, and say to the ice-tem,

remains TO be seen if the country is 80 far to
yield to Northern domination and rule, rs to al

will no doubt use all personal exertions to be
elected. They have pledged their fortunes ane

A motion was then made, says the Spy, that
should the U. S. Marshal or any other person
rest Of any persons or persons claimed as fugtives
from labor, it should be the duty Of the committee
Of vigilance, to alarm the ,ohole population by the
ringing Of the bells. A warm discussion sprang
up, upon the expediency of such action, in which
many gentlemen participated, and it was finally
carried, by large majority, and after the passage
of vote authorizing the vigilance committee to
fill all vacancies, the meeting adjourned to assem-
BILE again at the call fthe vigilance committee.

CHocrAw EmIGRAr1oN.-We are gratfed to
learn that another emigration of the ChoctaW s
will take place from Newton County, under the
superintendent of the able and efficient Indian
Agent, Col FL. l.. ScoTT. Col. s. deserves
credit for his exertions to carry out the estab-
lished policy Of the government which is favor
able to the removal to their country West of
the Mississippi of the remnant of the once nu-
merous and powerful Choctaw Tribe, who now
remain among us. Experience has demonstra-
ted the fact, that these Indians become more
and more degraded every year they stay
amongst us, and our citizens should second eve
ry attempt to effect their removal beyond our
borders. The interests of our country will be
promoted and the objects of humanity and phil
anthrophy subserved by aiding the policy Of the
Government, as the Indians still remaining in the
country, are generally perfect nuisance and
pest to society.
We have been informed that the emigration
from Newton will take place in a few weeks,
and we are happy to learn that it is progressing
finely, and that it bids fair to be larger than
those which have usually taken place from East
Mississippi.

The call lately made on the Governor of this
State to follow the example of Governors Towns of
Georgia, and Qui,man Of Mississippi, we cannot
but regsrl as an unwse and Intellectual move, be-
cause Gov. Collier would not be supported here
with that zeal and unanimity which has been
manifested by the people of Georgia, and also to
great extent in Mississippi 1t will be Ruthless
for the Governor or the Legislature of this State
to 60 in advance Of the main popular current.
The smaller by-sreams of popular commotion
may run more rapidly, but not so safely. The
mass Of the people must 60 with their leaders, or
those leaders will be left, when the time for action
comes, in the condition of general officer with
out an army. Some of the most influential papers
in this State are already committed against " Sc
cession, /" and the majority of their readers GER
tainly coincide with them, while other papers are
openly condemning the proposition to convene
our Legislature. We do not, however, see any
great improperly in calling an extra session of the
Legislature at this time, provided that body will
confne itself to the expression, in the name Of the
people, of deep dissatisfaction at the late action OF
Congress, and Of a strong determination on the
part of our citizens to resist any further encroach
ments upon their rights even at the hazard OF
disunion We think the people of Alabama are
willing to go that far with the Legislature, and il
the majority Of them are not so disposed, then
Alabama allies herself at once to Free-soilism
and becomes traitor to her own domestic institu
tons.
Our Legislature might also be called together a
this time for the purpose OF urging on the people
the proprety of electing delegates to a second
Southern Convention, and also Of pointing out tc
them the manner in which this should be done, as
their part But we have no idea what Gov. Col
Ier will do; though we have every confidence in
his patriotism, prudence, and hrmness, and he
will doubtless act for the best.

EXCURSION TO THE WORLDS FAIR.-The
Bostonians are endeavoring to get up an excur-
sion to London to visit the Worlds Fair, TO be
held next June. The proprietors of one Of the
Liverpool line of packets has offered that provi-
ded one hundred passengers can be obtained,
he will agree to furnish passage to Liverpool
and back, and provide good accommodations
and excellent fare, for the sum of sirty dollars
each. 1t is intended to leave Boston about the
middle of May, and arrive in London about the
fifth of June, allowing three weeks for the pas
sage across. Passengers can remain in London
three weeks, and make excursions, visit the the
aires and public gardens, and arrive in Uncle
Sans dominions about the first Of August,
having been absent ten weeks, and gained any
quantity of useful information-and all for the
sum of about one hundred dollars. This is a good
idea, which might be advantageously adopted
in other cities. There are numbers who would
willingly expend the sum of one hundred dollars
for such jaunt, instead of visiting the summer
watering places, at greater cost and not so much
real benefit.

THE TIMEs.-While the submissionists we're
pefsuading us to fold our arms and sing lullaby
TO the well grounded fears of the people, the
North was weaving around us their web, and
will soon, if it has not already, bind US hand
and foot. Can it be that we are no longer free
no longer at liberty to demand our rights, and
redress our wrongs! If we are not, whose fault
is it that we are thus circunstanced If we are
yet at liberty to demand our rights, why this
eternal cant, upon the street, that the Legislature
can do nothing? Much, very much needs to be
done, and if at all, now. Why then oppose the
meeting of the legislature? Oh! say some, il
will spend the peoples money. We answer:
not one tenth part as much as it took to give
away California, and to buy portion of Texas
Such are wiingto vote away millionsto plumber
us of our rights, but nothing to maintain them.
We were cajoled into quiet when resistance
would have ayailed us, and are now told it is too
late. We hope to the contrary, and know, il
every Southerner will put his shoulder to the
wheel, we may do much--everything. 1t is late
to begin the action, but not too late concert is
all that is needed. We have the power if we
have the will q, Let us prophesy for good there,
