AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAw-No one, i'm
material how ignorant he may be, can bat admit
that one of the laws passed by the 81 st Congress
and hailed in the South as one Of the happy
adjustment Bills" is unconstitutional, not only
the spirit but the letter. We allude to the bill
prohibiting the sale of negroes in the District
Of Columbia. Here is the first section of that
bill:
"Sec L. Be it enacted by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the United States
of America in Congress assembled, That from
and after the first day of January next, it shall
not be lawful to bring into the District Of Co
lumbia any slave whatever for the purpose OF
being placed in depot, or to be subsequently,
transferred to any other State or place, to be
sold as merchandise. And if any slare shall be
brought into The District by ns o,oner or By the
authority consent of IFS o,oner, contrary 10 The
provisions Of his act, such siape shall thereupon
become LIBERATED AND FREE.
Now here is forfeiture of property by an act
of Congress, not for treason against the govern
ment or any thing of that sorts but because a
Southern man offers for sale his property in a
certain district of country belonging as much to
the South as the North. We say this law is
not only violation of the spirit of the federal
Constitution, but Congress has violated its very
letter. The following clause is be found in
article Sd, section Sd.
"The Congress shall have power to declare
the punishment Of treason but no attainder of
treason shall work corruption of blood, or for
feiture except during the life of the person at
tanned"
Congress- has no power, except in case of
treason, to work forfeiture of property, and in
that instance only during the life of the ndvid-
ual thus guilty of treason. Can any man, unless
he is an Abotionist at heart, assert that this bill
in a constitutional onel Yet we hear men eve
ry day, here in Alabama, ask with the greatest
assurance and bombast "where has the Con-
stitution been violated by any of the glorious
compromise made by the thirty-frst Congress-,
for the purpose of preventing Abolitionists and
Southern ultras from destroying this glorious

Distemper is an inhammatory disease, and the

ing guided by the pulse. Repeat the physic in
3 or days if necessary.
Cathartics are medicines which, taken inter-
nally, increase the number of alvine excavations.

tic for horses, and form the basis of most medi-
cines of this kind.

Public Meeting.

SyLvAsIA, Scriuen Co., Georgia.
At a large and respectable meeting of the
citizens of Scriven county, convened at SylvarJ a
on the 4th of July, JAMES BURKE was called to
the chair, and JOHN RoBERTs requested to act
as secretary. The chairman having explained
the object of the meeting, Mr.. J. B. HAYNE
rose and briefly alluded to the political questions
of the day. CuYLER W. YoUNG, being called
on, arose and addressed the meeting forcibly in
favor Of immediate State action, and at the con-
clusion of his speech offered the following
preamble and resolution:
| Whereas, Our natural and unalienabe duty
of allegiance is dueto the State that protects us,
| and secures to us our natural liberties the
protection of the army and navy of Georgia, of
which army and navy, "the governor of said
State is declared to be the commander-in- chief"
by our State constitution; to collect and dis
burse all revenues and taxes arising within the
legance and jurisdiction of said State; TO manage
taxes and revenues by the immediate represen-
tatives of said State, composing the legislature
of said State. These are the unalienabe rights
of Georgia, and of every State in this Union.
Our ancestors, for our safety and happiness, at
tempted to ALLEVIATE these rights through the
federal Constitution; but majority of the
people, in 1887, yielded reluctantly to the at
tempted transfer. Danger, apprehended from
France and England, induced them to submit
They reserved to themselves the right of de-
manding, at any time, the retrocesson by Con-
gress to the States of those unalienable State
tights. A different kind of danger danger
not from England and France mainly, but dan
ger from the federal government, now urges us
to assert and demand those unalienable State
rights; therefore,
Resolped, That State protection is our un-
alienable right as citizens therefore we desire
Congress to guarantee to our State such rights
as may be necessary to enable this State to pro-
tect her citizens against foreign enemies.
After speeches by Mr.. YoUNG and Col. j. s.
SINGLETON, for aud against the preamble and
resolution, they were adopted by the meeting.
At the request of Colonel SINGLETON, Mr..
You've read the following resolution, offered by
Mr.. s. as substitute for the preamble and
resolution aforementioned
ResoIped, That we are az much opposed to
the so-called compromise measures to-day, as
we were the day they were passed
II was moved and seconded that the preamble
and resolutions be published.
After patriotic addresses from Mr.. You've
and Col. ]. s. SIscLEToN the meeting then adj
joumed.

glad to have presented all the Information we
possibly could on the subject TO our readers, but

of the States in reference to the character OF

No goods or articles could be received at The
Exhibition without the certificate of this central
authority, and everything was to be examined
by their agents, yet what did we, or our country
men generally, know of the arrangements made,
or the persons selected to carry them outs No
thing; all the news we got about them (except
in one instance,) was second hand. We do not
suppose that my of the State committees ex

with johnny cake, in order to spread correct in
formation and stir up the pride and spirit Of onr
people on the subject. The one in this State,
at least was eminent for its iueficiency 1t wonld
have cost these committees but little to have

would gladly have published, without charging
them anything, and then when it is considered
that there is not factory, foundry, or machine

more copies of our paper every week, the effect
the good effect of such publications might
have been anticipated. But these committees
did not know enough to know this, and our peo-
pie have now cause to regret it, and wish it had

! Massachusetts, whose leading statesmen ac'
upon the principle that the Union was made to
Pander to the sectional prejudices of the North
at the expense OF the South, ratified the Consti-
tuition In tho following terms:
THAT it be explicitly declared, that all powers
not expressly delegated by the aforesaid Const-
tuition, are reserved To the several States to be
by them exercised"
South Carolina reviIed aud abused as she now
is for asserting the right Of secession, and indi-
eating her determination to exercise it, sane

"Ihis convention doth declare, that no Sec
ton or paragraph Of the said Constitution, war
rants a construction, that the States do not re-
tam every power not expressly relinquished by
them and vested in the general government OF
the Union"
And now, when South Carolina proposes, ia
accordance with this solemn declaration entered
upon her record at the time Of ratifying the
compact, to resume thepowers expressly retained,
she is denounced beyond measure Could
treatment be more unjust-especially when it is
considered that she proposes to retire from the
copartnership, because she, in common with her
Southern sisters, have been foully wronged by
the violation on the part of the North Of the
terms of the compact! In no instance can it be
shown that South Carolina has made any de-
mands that are at all Inconsistent with her rights
as member Of the confederacy
Rhode Island ratified the Constitution with
the following emphatic declaration:
That the poa0ers Of government may be re-
sunled by the people, ,ohenerer Il shall become ne
cessary TO their happiness. That the rights of the
States, respectively, to nominate and appoint all
State officers, or to the departments of the gov
ernment thereof, remain TO the people of the
several States, or their respective State govern
ments," &c.
Similar conditions were affixed by nearly all
the States to their acts ratifyiug the Constitu-
ton. But the States, watchful Of their liberties,
and anxious to steer clear Of the dangerous gulf
Of consolidation, were still not content until the
principles set forth in those acts, were explicitly
recognized by the Constitution. Consequently
the first Congress provided for the adoption of
the following amendment, which became part
of that instrument, and rendered assurance
doubly sure:

United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited
by it to the States are reserved to the States re-

OPEN LocKs.-There is an American in Lon
don, from New York named Hobbs, who is as
tonishing the cts there by picking the locks of
some of the most noted makers Of those nstru-
ments. The two most famous fabricators in
England are Chubb and Bramah. One of the
locks of tte former, Hobbs had picked on the
first trial. Chubb was, of course, much put
OUT about it, and correspondence had ensued
between him and Hobbs in the London Times.
Mr.. Bramah has had in the window Of his es-
tablishment for thirty years an advertisement
Offering reward of two hundred guinens to anv
one who could succeed in opening his lock- Hobbs
had agreed to pick it, and day appointed for
the purpose, under the inspection Of some of the
most experienced engineers in London. Hobbs
object is not to take the reward, but to prove
that the best English locks are not perfect He
himself is the inventor Of one, which, as was
stated some time since, is in the great exhibition,
and now locks up about thousand pounds,
which he offers as The reward of any one who
can get it by picking.
The subject excites great deal of interest Ia
London, from the fact that Chubb's and Bra
mah's locks have been generally used, with per-
feet confidence in their safety, to guard vast
treasures. The cage which contains the in
valuable Koh-i-noor diamond is secured by this
lock. Ifit can be picked by an honest American,
il is thought ii may be by some English or o her
rogue, and thus may be stolen.--Mobile Herald

ABOLITION BENEvoLEEcE.-It is notorious
that the Abolitionists give nothing, or next to
nothing, to aid the emancipation of slaves bnt
some hid supposed that when mn object was
presented which they could not but approve,
and in the direct line of grand larceny, they
would shell out with some degree Of literally
But alas for poor human nature, they with one
consent, except Gerrit Smith, (who has really a
large soul within him, only it is bottom up

to goad them to liberality--to shame them to IL
even--but they are vengeance proof Gerrit
Smith, in order to save Chaplin, the underground
railroad conductor, from the punishment due TO
bis crimes, shelled out some @l3,288-l6 to-
wards the twenty odd thousand dollars neces-
sary to enable him to get off with a whole skin.
Our Abolitiol friends have been appealed to
