A Resolution has been adopted BY tie Legislature
of Maryland, authorizing the governor to employ
ngton county, Maryland, who is confined in Jail in
Huntingdon county. Pennsylvania, on the charge Of
kidnapping. 1t appears that some time since Little
arrested runaway slave in Huntingdon county, and
was carrying him back into Maryland, when he was
taken from him and liberated. Several months since
he again visited the county on business, wien he
was seized and committed to Jail on the charge Of
kidnapping the negro. He has since lain in JAIL
heavily ironed, and his trial has been put off without
reasonable cause Being too poor to employ counsel,
the resolution Empowers the governor to do 50 for
him indeed, should not wonder if his excelency

tense and several members declared their aciingnes
to cote aoay euery dollar iatte treasuryfor such
object.
The above is one instance, among many, of the
practical and deliberate violation of the Constitution
by the free States, in relation to fugitive slaves. The
Constitution expressly declares that slaves escaping
to the free States shall be delivered up, on demand
to their owners; yet in the face of this provision
laws have been passed by number of these States
designed to prevent the master from reclaimng his
property. 1t was stated BY Mr.. Clingman the other
day, in his speech in the House, that the South had
already lost. some fifteen millions ef dollars in this
soay and he added that gentleman of the highest
standing in Delaware had assured him that fhat little
State lost, each year, hundred thousand dollars in
'aue property on account Of runaways escaping the
free States

MAJ. WILLIAM J. CLARhE.
Mr.. EDITOR: AS the time for choosing candidates
for the Legislature from this County is not far dis
tant, allow brother Democrat and constant reader
of yours to express his views to the proPrety and
fitness of nominating gentleman for the House of
Commons. In doing this am far from wishing to
dictate to any one, and can no difficulty likely
to arise from it. II we expect-and we all do, of
course to carry this County next Summer, we must
unite as one man. Personal feeling must give way,
if necessary, and differences the Rail Road ques-
ton must be reconciled, shall be defeated. So
far as am concerned, as an humble member of the
party, my preferences, assure you, shall never be
in the ways yet l claim the right to express those
preferences, especially at time when they can be
heard and considered.
think it due, sir, for various reasons, to Maj Will
liam J. Clarke, that he should be run for the Com
mons. do no, know that he would accept the nomi-
nation; yet, judging from his devotion to his coun-
try heretofore evnced trying occasions in the face
OF the public enemy, I am led to believe he would
submit to any sacrifice of interest at the call
of his fellow-ctizens.. Mai. Carke's character and
services are we'll known to Wake County. No man
of his age in the State has endured more than he has
for his country. At the call of that country, when
many denounced the war and others remained at
home while brave men were carrying our banners
through blood to victory, he hastened with his little
band the of strife, and the National Bridge
won laurels which would grace many an older brow
in the regular service. What he suffered, Sir
with his wound and with sickness is known to those
who shared his lot in Mexico; but like truehearted
man he bore up under his sufferings and sacrifices,
and the termination of the restored him once
to his family and friends.
Being one of those who voted in the'late contest
between Mr.. Daniel and Mai. Clarke for the former
which would do again under the same circumstan-
ces, think have some right to say word on this
occasion. No Convention had been held-the field
was open-and such being the case. Maj. Clarke had
right rum and the fact that he did run ought not
in my opinion, 10 prejudice him now. 1t was enough
that he was defeated; and let us not put down our
promising young men for such cause. He would
make useful and an able member, and hope he
will be nominated. A DEMOCRAT.

{ A WORD IN SEASON.. e e

~ B %.s9i;..ssts s;.s A WORD IN SEASON.
We have been waiting 70 SEQ # any Of our bIeth-
rem Of tho democatic press were going to say any
thing about State Democratic Convention. The
lime is fast approaching when some action IN regard
thereto will be necessary. 3 Il
1 We presume all agree that Convention must be
held. There isno question Of that. The democra-
cy ought to meet if it is only for the pleasure Of
meeting. We aPpfehend no differences in regard to
candidate and therefore, the time and place the
next matter of importance. As brother Holden Of
the Standard, is too modest to give Us his views on
these minor points, will take the initiatives by re-
commenting to the democratic press the city of Rail
eigh as the place, Ct is nonsense to think Of any
other,) and the 10th or 18th of April as the time.
We would further call the attention of the press to
the fact that the approaching Spring Courts is the
usual time for the assembling Of primary meetings
for the appointment Of delegates. and it is time to
stir the subject. 4 Fayetteville Garoinian.
We agree with the Carolinian that 4 Convention
ought to be held, and we think it ought to meet as
heretofore in Raleigh We should like to be presents
but we cannot if it should be called as above sug
gested on the 10th 18th of April. We shall have
to 60 to Linconton again about that time, on busi
ness which may not admit Of postponement; and
though we could not expect any one, much less a
Convention Of our friends, to appoint day to suit
our convenience, still we hope we may be allowed
70 ask brother of the Caronian if the first We'd
nesday, being the first day in May, would not be ac
ceptable to him! By that time the roads would be
in the best order for travelling, and the weather
open and pleasant; and in addition to this, it strikes
us that twelve weeks would be amply sufficient for
the campaign. This would also give full time for
the appointment of Delegates; and besdes we should
certainly by the first of May, have the advantage OF
knowing the Whig nominee and his "platform."
We hope the Democratic Press generally will
speak out at once on the subject of Convention.

sidential contest-the different phases assumed by
the President in different sections of the Union upon
the Wilmot Provso question, which had had great
.predjudicial moral action against the South. The
acts of the last Presidential he said, no

tion Tie South would stand up in solid column for
it's rights when the crisis arrived.
X He then alluded to the views of the President on
California AFFAIRS and said whilst it asserted the doc
trine of nonntervention, yet the Administration had
through their special agent, Mr. T. B. King, inter-
ferred in all the movements there which led to the
State organization. and excluded the institution of
slavery from its organic law. He knew from the
public press there that the people Impressed by
tho agents of the Executive with the idea that that
State could not be admitted with the institution of
slavery engnfted in her Constitution. From his
knowledge of the of conduct of the Admins
tration in that country, he disrusted the Executive
upon the subject of Slavery he did not think the
rights of the South were safe in his hands.
He alluded to the message as a very mysterious
document; stamped with insincerity upon its face.
He said that whilst President Polk had maintained
the rights Of Texas upon the East bank of the Rio
Grande to it's source. the present Administration had
totally disregarded and abandoned them. He enter
ed into an eucidation of the message Of MI. Polk,
and the Presidents message Of yesterday, to prove
the position. He asserted the right of Texas, BY the
treaty even with Mexico, to the whole territory in
dispute betwesn Texas and New Mexico.
The President recommended non-intervention in
his message, as we'll upon tho slavery question %
abandons that doctrine soon as New Mexico forms

THE GREAT SPEECH"
The Baltimore Correspondent of the Union, speak
ing of the recent great effort Of Gen. Cass in the
Senate in opposition to the Wilmot Proviso, says:
's1'he great speech of Senator Cass on the Slave
~ question is the subject of general e1logium, as
one Of the master efforts of the age. The subscri-
bers to the Union in this city, as none of our CITY
papers have published more than sketches of it, hard
ly get their papers from the post office before they
are surrounded with borrowers. 1t should be sea
tered broadcast through the land in pamphlet form,
as 1t must surely become textbook the subject
the wisdom, ability, and craftsmanship of which
all parties will readily admit" ,sI." HY.s
We refer readers to our Congressional columns
for synopsis of portion of this great speech as
delivered in conclusion Tuesday. Gen. Cass
scatters the arguments Of Messrs. Rockwell, Ash
nun, Badger. and others, in favor of the Constitu
Eonality of the Proviso, completely to the winds.
He declares that he cannot vote for that measure and
that, rather than do he will resign his seat. What
withering rebuke is this to those inscriptions
Southern Wings, who, during the late campaign,
denounced him as an Abolitionist!
Messrs Badger and Stany, Southern Wings, not |
only admit the Constitutionay of the Proviso, but
,ne of them has abored on the floor Of Congress to
prove it; while General Cass, Northern Democrat
Senator, demonstrates its unconstitutionality and
declares that rather than sanction it by his vote he
will yield up his official honoss and pay and retire
% private life! Comment on such facts is unneces-
'ary.
