% have this a Free State, and no Shareholder
is under any obligation to bring his chatteis

Such we have always understood to be the
law. and SUCH we presume, it will be declared
BIZ Judge Paine in the Slave Case which he is
to decide tomorrow. A contrary decision
would make New-York virtually slave State !;
and such, we are confident, she is not yet ready
to become notwithstanding the adverse aspect
of the result of our late Election.
We shall await Judge Paine's decision
with lively interest.
