All this sounds very strangely to US, though
we see it republished in the National Intelli-

4 LINE OF STEAMERS TO vELASCO.

A LINE OF STEAMERS TO vELASCO.
We took occasion. some time since, in call
ing attention to the proposition ofsDr. branch
r, Archer, which our readers will recollect, to
press il in the strongest terms We were capa-
bio of using. We know, indeed, Of no scheme,
which il carried into effect, upon a proper
scale-a scale adapted to the amount OF trade
would be more likely to yield handsome
profit to the stockholders. The great valley
OF the BRACES, the most productive cotton re-
gion belonging to the United Staies,i SO ra-
pidly filing up, that very few years must
witness the full development Of all its capa-
hilities. Art is already introduced to aid ma
ture where it is deficient. The valley, nques-
ton, will, in a very short time, be intersected
by railroads, which, extending their arms in
all directions, will drain into Velasco all the
products of Texas. There is, as far we can
ascertain, no other Texan port which can
come in competition with it. 1t is capable
with q small expenditure of money, OF being
made an excellent port, ESQ we Learnt
The city of New York is already aware OF
the immense returns which this trade promises
and efforts are already making in that quarter
TO secure it for the Empire City. With its i'm
mense capital. and unbounded enterprise, New
York is, of course, formidable rival. Under
ordinary circumstances-under such circum-
stances, indeed, as existed when we first took
occasion to touch upon this subject-compet'
ton with her might have seemed, TO very ma
ny, utterly hopeless. But the times have
been very much changed within the last week.
The late dec ision OF j. Judge Paine, in the case
ofLemmon, has opened the eyes of the entire
South to the fact, that they stand in most
perilous condition. The State of New York :,
through her Legislature, and her judiciary, has
pledged herself as firmly to the eradication of
slavery as Great Britain has done, or as any
of the Abolition Societies of our own country
have, thus far, ventured to do. There cannot
therefore, on the part of the people OF Texas,
be any very particular disposition, apart from
the argument Of convenience, to throw their
trade into the hands of New York merchants
Further than this, New York has voIunta-
rily Invested herself of a large portion of the
carrying trade; a trade, which if properly en-
ployed, is amply sufic lent of itself to sustain
couple Of steamers from the city Of Norfolk
This trade is not only large now, but it will
increase with the development Of Texas, and it
must ultimately take oil the slaves sent from
Virginia and North Carolina. As our i'm
provements are pushed to the West, it will al
so bring in Kentucky, for no slave-owner, in
that country, will hereafter trust his slaves on
the Ohio.
The time has already arrived for forming
company such as we are speaking of. Let
our men of enterprise strike while the iron ia
hot. Let them not AHA at too much at first
There is business enough now to emplo two
steamers. More will be employed as the BUSH

THE SLAVE CASE.

We subj0in the remarks of the Philadelphia
Bulletin on this subject. To every man who
has wholesome perception of the truth, this
subject presents itself in the same light. 1t is
the most m0mentous decision that has ever
been made since the adoption of the Consttu-
lion.
Fellow citizens Of the South! As far as we
have been able, we have endeavorsd to engage
you in the means of rendering yourselves in
dependent of all other quarters of the Union

The NEW i.aH DLcisioN The deciaion
OF Judge uine 10 regard to the slaves IN tran
SIS, IN New York, cannot but have momen-
tous consequences. 1t settles the point, we
presume, conclusively, that, except in the soil
tary case of fugitive, any slave who touches
he soil Of New York, no matter how, becomes
more, consequently, with the slaves of Ma
Tylander emigrating to the southwest, be blown
out OF her way, and forced, by stress of wea-
Their, to put into the port OF New York, the
slaves would become free. Or should ves-
sci, under similar circumstances, be beached
on the 81 pres of Long Island, the same result
would follow.
The State of New York has thus, and as it
were officially, declared her resolution not to
aid the Southern master,in any event, except in
the solitary one provided for by the constitution.
She has asserted, before the world, her sympa-
thy for the slave, as freely as ever Great Bril-
tain did, by the famous decision ofLord Marsh
field. We say the State Of New York, for as
Judge Paine justly observed, he did not pre-.
tend to legislate on the question, but only to
declare the law as il existed; and there seems
little doubt that the repeal of former laws, BY
the revised statutes, has brought about the pre-
sent condition Of affairs, by closing the soil Of
the Commonwealth against masters with slaves
in transttu.
The practical effect of this decision ON the
South will be to increase the irritation ALREADY
existing there, and especially 10 iniure 10 Q
very considerable degree, the trade Of New
York with that reg ion. 1t will have mother
result also, and one that will affect the slave
Hereafter, when emigrants move from v rginia

cision Is, few persons have yet conceived. Blu

IMPORTANCE OF FoRNs.-We stated sfew
days ago, that the Court Of Appe ais had granted
John w. Rand, found guilty Of robbing the
Portsmouth Bank, a new trial. At the time
of that announcement, we had not learned the
grounds upon which the court came TO its de-
cision. We have since learned that the new
trial was granted sowing to the fact that one
of the counts in the indictment was improper.
The count charged that the prisoner had been
convicted of felony in the State of Massachu-
sets, but did not state whether the conviction
was made before or since the Portsmouth Bank
robbery"
This presents a remarkable case OF the i'm
D ortance of forms. There was official record
evidence, and other facts before the court which
tried Rand, sufficient to convince 6 the world
and all the rest of mankind," that his convic-
ton for felony in Massachusetts was before the
Portsmouth bank robbery; and yet, because
that fact was not embraced in the "counts of
the Indictment" the trial was declared null
and void, and the expensive and troublesome
proce edings Of new trial will have to be in
CURED. Now, we mean not to call in question
the correctness of the decision OF the learned
and able judges who have set aside the trial
for the reason indicated. Our purpose is 10
point to the Importance Of Formally in legal
proceedings. We are constrained TO say,
however, that, 10 our common-sense mind, il
has the appearance of sacrificing the substance
to preserve the mere shadow. The result oil
the decision on these formal grounds, obliges
the criminal to lie in jail all winter, will again
compel witnesses to be in attendandace of
Portsmouth from Boston, Baltimore, Rich
mond, and other distant places, and cause the
attention of judge, jury oftwelve men, and a
host of lawyers to be again occupied for weeks
perhaps, with the new trial. at great labor and
cost to all parties. o the uncertainties, the
troubles, and the expenses of illegal law.
