Fugitive slave Law Null ana Void.

Hear Judge Tappan, late Senator 10 Congress-
end former Chief Justice Of Ohio;
The Fugitive Slave Law Of 1888, and ITS sup
plement Of last session, are unconstitutonAi'
When was on the bench l decided tnas CON
ore s could not cohstitutoually empower the state
oalcers 10 enforce the laws Of the United states.
The Supreme Court OF the Jnlted states nave
since made q like decision. The law OF 1913,
therefore, so far as it empowers the state otncerS
20 enforce the law, IS now edmlttcd 10 De uhcon'
stitutiopal The Constitution does not give any
mower 70 Congress to egislate on the subject oil
Fugitive ayes No express power is claimed.
Ii gives no implied power, because the impned
mowers are only such as are necessary and proper
for carrying into execution the foregoing powers,
viz the powers of Congress In Section VII,
and all other powers vested by this Constitution
in the Government of the United states, or any
departments or officers thereof No power is.
therefore, given to Congress to act on the subject
Of Fugitive Slaves.
"T6e last clause of Section >, Article w., no
person held to labor &c, is simply an agreement
between the States and is Tor the States to de-
ternine in what way and before what tribunal
such claims shall be tried and settled. This
would have been done probably, had not the
ssveocrscy, by passing the unconstitutional law
of 1898, taken the business out Of THAR hands.
An article in a late EveniRg Post takes some
very sound views on the subject. have long
thought and said that the law Of 1893 was unoon'
stitutional.
GSenator Chase published the same opinion in
tba Van Zandt case. l think that now is the
favorable time 10 urge this matter upon the public
consideration The Supreme Court has decided,
with the above exception, the law to Dc unconstl-
tutonal.
LET Us appeal to their masters-THE PEOPLE
and prove to the satisfaction of that higher
court that the law is not merely outrageous, pat
thst it is void for want Of power in the makers
Let the PEOPLE know their rights.'

LEvERETTs LATIN LEXICON,

LNNLARGED AND IMPROVED, compiled chiefly from
IL the Magnum Totius Latnitatis Lexicon at Faccioat
and Forcein and the German works of Scheer and Lue
nemann, embracing also, the classical distinctions of
words, and the chronological Index from Freund's Lex
The present edition of this standard and yorite Latin
Lexicon has been much improved by the transfer to its
columns of the classical distinctions of Latin words,
given in the Lexicon of Dr. Vim. Freund of Germany,
and translated by Riddle The classical degree of each
word is indicated by figure for example, word tfoa
figure is fuy classical and GccronidR c the figures
l. ?, and 8, words classical only in the first
ond &c, degrees and this distinction the student
ceives at glance. The chronological Index also from
Freunds Lexicon has been incorporated into the present
edition of Leverett and will he found valuable acquis
ton While transferring these notes and marks, cata-
logucs carefully kept of the words found in each
Lexicon, which not found in the other On compar
ing these catalogues it found that the value and inn
porance of the additional words found in Leveett far
knowledge of the Latin language is concerned, very
exceeds that of those found in Riddles Freund. The
extensive of Leveres Lexicon in all parts Of the
country and the preference which has been universally
given to it all similar works, render its recommended
ton superfiuous but attention TO this edition is
respectfully invited, being still worthy than its
predecessors of the distinguished favor which the work
