JupoE NELSON ON THE rUGITivE.sLAvE LAw.-The
remarks OF The Judge tbeng portion OF his general
charge TO the grand lury) were at much length.
The act OF lS4s-suppementary 10 that OF l793-gives
powers TO magistrates or to the agent attorney
OF the owner OF the slave The only additional powe
il coners those TO the marshall enabling him carry
| out the law.
The law Of 1923 empowered the judges Of the United
States courts and State magistrates to do just what the
act Of ls4s authorizes the judges OF the United States
court and commissioners appointed by the court to do
merely changes, the latter respect the officers
thorzed enforce the law by substituting commission
| ers Tor Stale magistrates
This alteration 10 the law was necessary as several
OF the States passed enactmens prohibiting their mags-
raes from acting on the law and the alteration became
| necessary.
In regard TO the wr, OF hobeas corpus although the
State Magistrates have right TO issue it, yet the return
that the is before the United States court commits
sioner will be full answer TO IT,
The marshal having the custody Of the alleged ugi.
tive bound to retain his possession Were not the case
special, laws might be passed in the States TO defeat the
law OF Congress The habeas corpus is in full force as
| regards the United States courts
The Judge considers that the perpeiuy OF the Union
depends upon the good faith in which this law is carried
| into effect.
Any attempt TO oppose the law, hinder or obs,ruc
the officers in its execution the Judge states, subjects the
parties TO severe criminal punishment besides civil &C
ton for damages-N. Y. Express, April :.

apostrophe to this ilusirious patriot and or
ator, is from the pen of Uriah II. Judah
Esq, himself an eloquent speaker and
fine writer:
"Would you view great intellect in the
commanding position Of Oratory, and with
out any partiality on political grounds?-
HE then to the Senate Chamber, and lister
to the consummate eloquence of the man,
bright spirits whose scholastic acquire.
ments have added lustre to the title of az
American Citizen. Behold in this great
Legislative Hall--this renowned arena o
eloquence-,he beauty, the grandeur. the
splendor of intellect, in its extended, It's
powerful, bearings. View it in that pat,
riot sage, occupying an eminent and tower
ing position in the land of his birth and OF
his fame. Hark! ho speaks! Every voice
but his is now hushed in breathless silence
Oh! listen to the accents Of wisdom as
they fall from the lips Of that aged and
venerated statesman. The weight ol
'.three scoro years snd ten'' is on his brow
vet the luslre of his eye is not dinmed
nor his manly form bowed down with the
infrmiles of age. Know We not this glo-
rous son Of Co!umbia--ths great defender
Of the Constitution? IT'S HENRY Clay Of

New BARREL MAcHINE.-The Glasgow
Daily Mail says: An invention has been
patented for constructing casks, barrels,
puncheons, and everything in the cooper
age line, in space Of time which literally
bnfiles belief One Of the machines is AT
present in operation at the ST. Rollox works.
We have inspected il, and were certainly
astonished to find the slaves Of an ordinary
sized cask prepared, put together, and
headed in little more than ten minutes
The thing was perfect--the cutting and
joining were done with mathematical pre-
cision, and all the hands had really to do,
was to arrange the slaves and fix the heads;
all the rest was accomplished by machine
ry, and with so little trouble, that the arti
Gle was finished before one could fancy that
hoop was on. The mechanism, like that
of almost all important inventions, is ex-
ceedIy simple; the only wonder is, when il
is examined, how SO clear and easy mode
Of doing great deal OF work with very
small amount Of labor has not been hit
upon before now. The patentee of this
great invention is Mr. JAMES ROBERTSON,
formerly Of Liverpool.
