Mr.. Rhett, a Senator from South Carolina pro-
poses to enter into treaty with Great Britain to
procure the delivery of such fugitive slaves as
have taken refuge in Canada. Our impression
is that Mr.. Rhctts labor of love with sister Vic
toria will prove entirely fruit!ess. Perhaps not
however, for conscience Iii the christian world
bears as yet a very small proportion in strength
TO the power of commerce. The attention of
Great Britain was recently called to the fact that
South Carolina was in the habit of imprisoning
her citizens for no other crime than the color of
their skins, when necessity took them within the
limits of thai state, bat she concluded that the
freedom Of her citizons was iritiing matter COM
pared with profits on South Carolina cotton, and
therefore said nothing about it. There is no tel
ling then, but moved by the same considerations
she may assent 70 this proposed demand on the
part OF Mr.. Rhett

We commend to wings and all others who de-

the following remarks made by MIR. Clay, in

tons:
"We are reproached with doing mischief by
the agitation of this question. X
What would they, who reproach us, have done?
II they would repress all tendencies towards lib

America presents TO benighted word-pointing
the way TO their rights, their liberties, and their

thesepurposes,t their work will be yet incomplete
They must penetrate the human soul and eradi-

Their, and not till then, when universal darkness
and despair prevail, can you perpetuate slavery
and repress all sympathies, and all humane and
benevolent efforts among frcemen, in behalf OF
that unhappy portion of our race doomed to bon

D7The chronological Journal comes to US en-

with the Water Cure Journal. This increases
its size to twice or three times its former limits,
and Of course correspondingly increases its con-

highly valuable, and all inspection of the present
number furnishes abundant evidence that the
increase in quantity has not in any respect dmi-
nished the quality, There is nc more valuable

THE MARKET.

We have observed during the past week more
activity in orr market than during any week since
harvest This is to be attributed partly to the
improved travel bat mainly to the improved con-
dtion of the market. Coarse grains are in de-
nand and command high price. Corn brings
35 cents per bushel, and oats % cts. This is
for expectation, so that the demand will probably
continue.
The wheat market is also improving. A good
article of spring wheat now brings from IS &c
90 cents.
Pork from $3.50 to $500 per hundred. Beef
$3.50 TO $3.50 per hundred
Butter, from l23 to 5 cents per ID.
Wheat flour, from $3.50 to $4,25 per Dbl;
buckwheat, so per hundred; corn meal, l,0C

Lysander Spooner, in his powerful argument
against the constiutionality of the fugitive slave
bill, has the following:
Bat it is said that the passage of the act Of
1898, shows that the north understood the con-
sutulion as requiring the surrender of fugitive
slaves That act is supposed to have passed
without opposition from the north and the rea-
SON was that contained no authority for, or al
fusion to the surrender of fugitive SLAVES, but
only fugitives from justice, and persons held to
service or labor. The south had not at that
time become sufficiently audacious to make such
a demand And it was twenty three years, SO
lar as have discovered, and have made reaso-
nabie search in the matter after the passage Of
that act, before a slave was given up under il
in any free State, or the act was acknowledged
by the supreme court of any free state to apply
to slaves
