ABoLiTIoNlsTs TO CRACK-From the
Mobile Register learn that Chancellor Mason, OF the
middle chancery division of Alabama, has decided in the
case of the State Doss, slave, that slaves entitled
in Alabama the benefits of the writ OF habea corpus,
upon the petition of any free white person The object
and extent OF the writ is to release them from any illegal
confinement in which they may be held. This decision is
based mainly upon the construction that the term per
SON. in the bill of rights and the constitution embraces

ed him the rights OF trial by an impartial jury OF
the county that any free white citizen would have. IL
would be exceedingly difficult to how the slave could
be thus treated moral and responsible without
Identifying him with the character OF But

MI Julian and the "lInholy Compromise"


The enemies OF the federal constitution not disposed
to weary in their efforts for its subverslon Mt Julian,
OF Indiana. bent upon achieving distinction IN this rea-
sonable enterprise The memorial which be presented in
the House on Monday and which he thought worthy of
special attempt TO introduce by suspension of the rules,
denounces the federal constitution as an unholy com
sire to get rid Of it. They cannot conscenously live
under any unhoy compromise" MIR. Julian, however,
is sworn 10 support What Of support does he give
to what sort OF regard does he exhibit for his oath
when he lends himself to the purposes OF such memorial
s ard calls for legislative action upon the basis OF such
allegations!
The yeas and nays on Mr. Julians motion to suspend
the rules show votes in favor OF the suspen
sion, and one hundred and nineteen against it. The
affirmative vote, however, larger than It would have
if Mr. Julians object had been precisely understood
The motion supposed involve the question oil the
right of petition; and several members therefore voted in
favor of 1t who would have voted upon any other
ground Mr.. Julian's object to revive the slavery
agitation in some foman object unpatrotc in the last
degree indicating reckless disregard OF the peace of the
country, and disposition 10 destroy the constitution,
which Mr. Julian has takentan oath TO sustain
We have said that several members voted in the aflr-
native, under misapprehension of the scope OF Mr. Ju
ans motion TO suspend the rules. Mr. Chandler, OF
Pennsy vana, stated in the House on TUESDAY, and
said that the understanding was clear with him, and IN
his neghbohood, that the question simply OF the
sacred right of petition and that it TO upon the
record that the motion to suspend the rules Tor the
purpose of repeating iaw, he should be greatly mis-
represented placed in the Affirmative In such Mr.
Chandler said that some of his colleagues and other
members who voted with him in the affirmative desired
TO have their names recorded IN the negative Mr. Grin
NELL of Massachusetts, said that he joined in that wish
and we have doubt that other members would have
followed their example
1t is obvious enough that the political gamblers, who
with the fortunes OF men and the happiness OF their
country, not disposed TO abandon their nefarious
schemes. They seem determined to prosecute them until
they shall succeed in overthrowing the constitution
