EXPERIMENTAL CrLTuRE.-Last year
an intelligent farmer in Murray coun-
~, made an experiment in corn eul-
ture which is worthy Of note. Four
rows were selected, some two hundred
yards long; from two, the fo,l,ler at
the usual time was gathered upon the
other two, il was suffered to remain
unsiripped. The corn upon the four
rows weighed the same per bushel. but
upon the two rows upon which the
blades were suffered to remain, two
bushels more were gathered than upon
the stripped rows. Rome Courier.

The FUGITIVE SLAVE CASE HERE, AND ABo-
LITIoN MoRALs.-The testimony is clear that
Henry Long is a fugitive slave from Richmond,
Va, and no person about the Court has any
serious doubt of the fact, and therefore no hope
is INDUCED in his liberations under the law
Ingenious counsel, however, have picked one
apparently real flaw Mr.. Hall, the acting Com
missioners in the case, not being as is alleged,
real Commissioner under the law, but only a
deputy Marshal, acting en- obicio and thereby
without power to act in the case, or to issue
any warrant for any slaves arrest. The effect
of this argument has evidently been such upon
the counsel for the claimant, that they have
abandoned the process before Hall, and are now
beginning de moro, where the beginning ought
to have been from the start, before the United
States Judge.
Delay, however, IS not yet over, probably
There is to be an infinite amount of habeas cor
pusing. During all time, of course, counsel
work not for the slave for nothing. The more
ingenuity necessary to evade law, or to delay
law, of course, the greater must such capacity
and ingenuity be paid for. o'37

We think that every rejecting mind must
come to the conclusion at which ours has arrived
that the greatest danger to the Union is in a
blind attachment to it on the part of the South
ern people. If, through the powerful agencies
to which we have adverted, they should be
brought into submission to the will of their OPP
pressors, the Union will no longer be in cxis-
tence. The name, it is true, will exist as at
present. but that will be all. 1t will be no
longer the Union Washington, Franklin,' Jeiler-
son and other patriots formed--no more the
Union that our grandfathers used to dwell upon
with such rapture by their fresdes,--thnn a GER
tain miserable, down-trodden town called Rome,
marked on the Map of Italy, is the /" Imperial
City" Of the world that stood on the same spot
two thousand years ago. The contrast, the fall,
will be as decided in the one case as in the
other Ctsf
In the present crisis of their fate, the path of
duty is open to the Southern States. They
have but to recur to fundamental principles; to
demand the fuflment of the bond in letter and
spirit; to declare by their acts rs well as by
their words that they must and will have equal
ity or independence; and their rights may yet
be preserved in the Union. We trust that in
future they will pursue the course required by
their own interest and honor, and make the
Union as GLORIOUS" to themselves as it is TO the
Northern partners of the concern.-Richmond

The questions we put TO the Bar of this cous,-
try are these - 81
L. Whether the Constitution, like all other
laws and legal instruments, must be construed
flyorably to justice, il the languages will bear il
or whether it must be construed favorably TO in
justice, If the language will bear it.
2. Whether the Constitution, as IL is t0rinen
is "the supreme law Of the land {" or whether
some compromise" which may, or may not
have been entered into, by few politicians
outside Of the Constitution, and which they dared
not incorporate into its words, is OF paramount
authority to the Constitution itself!
8. Whether Mr.. Madison's plan Of making
the Constitution recognise and adopt slavery us
legal institution, and at the same time, of
"not admitting, in the Constitution, the ide that
there can be property in man" be practicable
one in law! 1865
These questions we ask the bar of this coun-
try to answer, in their capacity as laioyers not
as Abolitionists, nor anti-Abolitonists, nor poll
tlclans but IA lawyers; as men VINO Know The
legal meaning of words, and the rules by which
all legal instruments must be interpreted
We ask the lawyers, in the first place, to read
the argument we now send them. II they see
any reason in it, we ask them, in the next place,
to read Mr.. Spooner's other work, (Which is nd
vertised in this sheet0 entitled "The Unconsti-
tutionality Of Slavery" And then we ask them,
j the last place, to tell the people of this coun
try whether slavery is, or is not constitutional
and whether the General Government have, or
have not, power to abolish it in the States.
And we venture to predict that when those
questions shall have been fully discussed and
finally answered, by the bar Of the country,
slave can no more breathe the air of America
than Of England
We confidently appeal to tho younger men,
bers of The bar, who must do a large portion Of
the intellectual work of this nations for thirty
years to come who must inevitably take part
in the great contest between liberty and slavery
that is now upon US; and whose minds have
not yet been compressed and stunted in the Chi
nese shoe Of authority, and ask them fully aud
fairly to examine this great question before they
take sides against liberty and justice.
