No Conventions Ex-Governor Floyd's project Of
a General Convention of the States does not seem
to meet with favor from any quarter 1t Ia consid-
cred liable to many serious objections. If it were
made up altogether of rfands Of the Union, it could
only speak for them, and not for the large body of
agitators who want for auitation.
Wr join with many of our contemporaries in pre-
ferring to hear the people speak for themselves in
their various localities
No doubts that Vermont will abstain from
all acts Of practical Notification 1t is generally
conceded, by her temperate presses and rejecting
statesmen, that the act was passed without proper
consideration, and will remain dead letter upon
the statute book until the meeting of the Lcgisla
ture. and then be repealed as unconstitutional and
disorganizng i'll its tendencies.
Besides, the good feeling thus far manifested in
Congress indicates that all reasonable men tired
of agitation. The bulk of the elections over
and the demagogues have no particular use for
mock thunder. After the failure OF Giddngs to
raise excitement. may infer that very little
encouragement will be given TO agitators.
Governor Floyd will, therefore, meet with no
hearty response to bs proposition for another Con
gress. If the peoples legal representatives do not
feel themselves authorized to get up discussion of
settled questions, think it would be very
periuous piece of work to try any other method of
giving potency to public sentiment.
The simple truth is, the great body OF the people
have been nauseated with discussion already, and
they want nostrums. They agree with Pre-
sident Fillmore, that the late compromise measures
should be considered "inal settlement

The MARYLAND CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
The convention has not yet reached a decision ON
any question, and far il is all doubtful what al
teratons what new provisions will be introduced
into the constitution which the convention is
authorized to frame
Yesterday the day was occupied in discussion
Of proposition to have the proceedings and
speeches reported by competent person, and to
provide for their being printed The proposition
rejected by majority of two, in a thin house,
but fifty eight of the hundred and three members
who compose the convention being present. This
subject has been up before and decided as ycster-
day, against reporting. The small vote yesterday,
however, can hardly be regarded finally decid
ing it, and it will probably be brought up again in
some other shape-Baitimore Patriot.

wards Of four thousand laborers and one thousand
horses employed upon the extended line, and the

The FUGITIvE SLAVE LAw.-There is IA prospect
that the question of the constutionality of this law
will shortly be brought before the United States
Supreme Court for decision. In the of Henry
Long, an alleged fugitive from slavery, now on
trial in New York, Mr. Jay, council for the pris-
oner, said that his object in the application to the
Supreme Court OF this State, in banco, for writ of
hdbeds corpus, to have the whole proceedings
under the Fugitive Slave Law reviewed. and the
constitutonalty of the law itself tested by taking
the case directly before the Court of Appeals, and
if necessary, before the Supreme Court of the
United States. Mr.. Western, counsel for claim
ant, proposed that Mr.. Jay, instead of taking out
his hdbeGs corpus to the Supreme Court of the State,
should take it direct to the Supreme Court Of the
United States, by which long delay and much
expense would be avoided. We join in the hope
expressed by the New York Commercial Adpertisu,
that Mr. Westerns suggestion will be adopted.
Let the go before the supreme judicature of
the land, and let the world the noble spectacle
of self governed people standing before court OF
last resort Of its creation, calmly asking the
decision Of an umpire invested with power TO settle
forever Of the most important controversies
that ever afflicted nation.
Our readers, we have no doubt, are tired of dis
cussion on the Fugitive Slave Law and seven ten tbs
of the people, we are still more confident, wish all
agitation to cease, and that the law may be prac-
ticaly tested; but discussion ia forced upon US by
the studious persevering efforts made by those OPP
posed to the law to hold it up to odium. Driven
from the ground they first assumed, that the law
is, in itself, unjust and oppressive, they now say
that il may be abused and great wrong result III
consequence. For instance, the Express of this
morning says: ga pri,na facie case can be made
out against any colored man, as it was against the
alleged fugitive in Philadelphia. little pausi-
BILE perjury only is necessary, and that is easily
obtained by means of money" This argument,
if such it be called, could be used with equal
force and effect against any law. How often, as
the records of our courts show, prma face cases
made out against worthy men, guilty of no offence,
and suppo ted by subornation of perjury. But
who ever thought seriously Of urging, because of
these cases, that grand juries, or that our laws
against rape, theft, or fraud, should be abolished?
II must recognise the principle that, because u
false claim may be set up and supported by PERU
ry, therefore the law should be repealed, we might
as we'll abolish all our laws at once.
