RAILROAD LINES TO PHILADELPHIA.

We lately had some experience OF the tricks
played upon travellers by the New Jersey Rail
road and transportation Company. Having
arrived in New York from Boston on board
the splendid steamer knckerbocker, by the
Norwich and Worcester route, we had our
9 o'clock train of cars The promise was, that
we should be put through, without further tx.
pense, to Washington, by half past o'clock,
7. NJ The train was behind its time, without
any necessity whatsoever. At II rate quickened
two or three miles an hour, we should have
arrived Seasonably in Philadelphia. As it was,
we reached the wharf ten minutes before two,
and then had to ride two miles and half
to the depot, ON Broad street, TO take the two
o'clock train to Baltimore Ii was announced
that the omnbuscs provided by the Company
could not carry the passengers there in that
time and so We put our family into q hack, rs
desperate resort, hoping the train would de-
lay five or ten minutes. We galloped all the
way, got ahead of everybody else, and had the
exquisite pleasure of seeing the smoke of the
train, which had started II minute or two be-
fore All that was left us now, was to make
our way back as fast as possible to the boat,
which, starting from Philadelphia at o'clock,
p NJ 81, puts you in Baltimore at 20 O'Clock. And
in this way We reached Baltimore no az to take
the cars in the morning for Washington. Tho
result was instead of being in Washington
at o'clock that evening according to 6the
pledge of the New Jersey Railroad and
Transportation Company, we did not reach
there till the forenoon of the next day, and We
were out of pocket, by the honest operation,
Just twelve dollars more than was in the con-
tract, distributed among the hackmen, hotel
keepers and omnibus drivers of Philadelphia
and Baltimore.
Now this is swindling neither more nor less,

THE NATIONAL ERA WASHINGTON d. SEPTEMBER 16 1862

excludes the idea Of property in human beings
and contains no grant of power to The Federal
Government to create, recognise Shstain, or
legislate in behalf Of, Slavery The laws sus-
tanning it in the District of Columbi®uiating
the coastwise slave trade, and making Prov
sion for the reclamation of fugitive slaves, lind
no warrant in the Constitution, and are the
offspring of the league between Slavery and
Federalism For the same reason, If there be
Slavery in New Mexico and Utah, it is in vio-
lation of the Constitution. We seek to dena-
tionalize Slavery-to decentralize ito d.
yorce the Federal Government totally from its
support-to turn it over to the States in which
it exists, and to establish within the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Federal Constitution, the
Law of Personal Freedom The accomplish
ment of this work will be the triumph of the
Democratic idea and of the doctrine Of State
Rights over Federalism.
1t is useless to keep up the game of misrep-
resentation-to continue to impute to us u Sc
cret purpose to use the Supreme Judiciary or
the Federal Government to abolish Slavery in
the States. People are every day becoming
convinced of the falsity of the charge. 1t is
one thing to relieve the Nation or Union from
the responsibility of maintaining Slavery, and
quite another to impose on it the responsibility
of abolishing Slavery in the States. The former
act is constitutional, legitimate, and a high
duty: the latter is not constitutional, not legi-
innate, not duty The States in which Sla-
very exists must determine each for itself how
to rid itself of the evil, under its responsibilities
to God and to that Public Opinion from whose
imperious demands neither the Despotism of
the Throne nor that of the Plantation can re-
lease itself

CAMPAIGN CLUBS.

At the earnest solicitation Of numerous
friends, and hoping to enlarge still more rap
idly the circle of anti-slayery readers. and that
they may be kept fully advised of the political
doings during the present campaign. we have
concluded To offer the Era 10 ciubS for four
months which will embrace the whole period
of the campaign and the time during which
official results will be made public, on the fol-
lowing terms.
Ten copies will be sent from the LIST of Sep
tember to the list Of January, for Fire Dollars

candidate vote against it, themselves. Do
we wrong them! Their policy is the result Of
their position the open, consistent, bold policy
of Chase, Hale, and Sumner, is the legitimate
result Of theirs. But, what shall we say of
Wade, who, though Wing voted like an In

condemn him, but honest men will applaud
an act of fidelity to Freedom in defiance Of
Party necessities

The RICHMOND (VA) Examiner has frank
way of uttering its opinions. Replying to a
common remark in the South, that no man of
Northern birth ought to be trusted on the sub
ject of Slavery, it admits that Van Buren, and
Cass (Oh General how art thou fallenD did
desert the cause of the South, and prove trai-
tors to its peculiar interests, but it says, they
"never occupied the entire Southern ground
while Mr. Pierce does do 500 1t continues
even Mr.. Van Buren,, though only partly com
mitted to the South, did make sound South
ern President because the South supported
him-and Cass would have done the same
thing had he been elected, for the same rea-
son. Their subsequent desertion is nothing
to the purpose" AFTER all that Cass has done
to concliate Southern support it is rather hard
to be cast off as a traitor to the South } The
Examiner proceeds to say that the South may
calculate on the loyalty of Franklin Pierce
not only on account of the Southern support
he will receive, but because he occupies the
whole Southern ground" and has always been
straightforward in his action upon it" while
many passages in the previous lives OF Cas-
and Van Buren, were very doubtful J"
Now. we can tell the Examiner, that there
are Free Soil men whs, in supporting Frank
lin Pierce, fully expect that if he be elected
they and those who think with them will be
as much favored by his Administration, as
Stockholders themselves Our own opinion Is,
that the South will never have President
that il can entirely trust. till it make up ITS
mind to elect thoroughgoing Free-Soiler, or
Independent Democrat

Hon. N. S. TowNsHEND.-No speech on the
Slavery Question, delivered during the late
session of Congress, has been more extensively
republished than the clear, sound, straightfor-
ward speech of DR.. Townshend The Doctor
is no new convert to Ant-Slavery doctrines
He was one of the pioneers in Ohio, and We
recolect him as one of the earliest and most
active supporters of the Phitanthropis. From
some cause or other, the True Democrat, which
is circulated extensively in his district We pre-
sumo, omitted the publication of his speech.
Freedom has no truer representative in Con-
gress than Norton s. Townshend and this is
the judgment of every Free Soil member of
that body.
