THE SLAVE CASE,

The question raised by the New York Ex-
press, in view of the late decision of Judge
Paine, is worthy of serious consideration. Has
any State, under the Constitution of The Uni
ted States, the power to pass law which
shall interfere with the right Of property, in
haHs,ta, through its territory? If State
has that power, then the commerce between
dition. The Legislature of Virginia, for in.
stance, may pass law subjecting to forfeiture,
any goods, wares or merchandise, that pass
through Virginia from New York, or any of
the Northern States. Every one can at once
see the inconvenience of such an act; yet un.
der the Constitution OF the United States, such
. law may just as well be passed, as law
prohibiting the transit of slaves. BY that in
strument, slaves are recognized property,
just as much as horses, COWS, sheep, or bales
Of goods. If it be competent to a State to de-
stroy oil property in the former, merely be-
cause they pass through its territory, why
may it not be competent to another State to
destroy all property in the lat err for the same
reason?
We have, before this day, urged upon Viz
ginia the great Importance Of establishing a
line Of steamers with Texas. This affair
should stimulate capital to the last point in
this direction. New York, it seems, will do
no more of the coasting trade in slaves. That
trade, so far as Texas is concerned, is already
enormous. We would not wish finer be gin
hing for q company Ii will do nil the trads
OF this kind, and it is worth, even at this day,
$4,000 per annun, with prospect of indefi-
mite increase. Out of this decision, if our ca
pitalsts are wise, they may lay the foundation
for the line so strenuously insisted on by DR..
Archer. 1t is playing directly into the hands
Of those who are friendly to it.
More hereafter on this subject.

SIGNIFICANT.

The New Orleans Picayune publishes an
extract from the Siglo diez-y-Nueve u9lh Cen
tury) Mexican newspaper, with regard to
the Iehuantepec affair, in which the editor
states positively that Louis Napoleon will take
hand in case of any foreign Intervention. In
other words, we presume, Louis Napoleon il
determined to back Mexico in her perfdious
attempt to avoid the Garay grant. Is that The
meaning Of the squadron al Vera Cruz?
When this government, and this people shall
permit foreign power to bully them, after the
'esnion implied in the paragraph alluded to, we
shall emigrate.

THE NEWS FROM HAVANA.

See our telegraphc dispatch.
We trust that, at last, the Spanish Govern
ment Of Cuba is about to bring matters to
crisis. We are tired OF this dallying go long
with question of 30 much importance. Let
bu, the thing be done, let but the Creseen'
City be stopped by Spanish war-s'eame'
and We shall soon see what is TO follow. The
officer in command will, Of course, strike his
Gag, at once, and we shall have before US, Inc
case of an American vessel captured at sea, I'D
time of profound peace, by neighborIng ma
ton, for no other reason than, that IN Inc pur-
suance Of legitimate commerce, she has al
tempted to enter a harbor belonging TO that
Power.
The Diario de Ia Marina has said, that the
treaties of Spain do not apply to Cuba, and
therefore that Cuba is unconnected, by treaty,
with any other part Of the world. This is q
very different view of the matter, from that en-
tertained by this government, for it issued its
proclamation against the Lopez invaders, sole
ly on the ground that it was in violation OF
positive treaty. 1t is, probably, portion OF
Cuban policy to follow this declaration to It's
consequences, and TO this, no doubt, we are
indebted for the present proceeding. Well, il
Cuba is not bound by any treaty, why should
we consider her thus bound Why should
our government have interviews with Calde-
rem de Ia Barca, with regard to matter over
which he has no jurisdiction Why should
we be bound by laws which do not bind then7
We IRE opposed to all fHitustering ezpedi-
sons. But this is no fillibusterng. lis an
insult to the American fag-a wilful, delibe-
rate insu,t-an Insult which has been in pro-
cess of maturity for months. The prepare
,ions made to support it, prove that it has been
thus meant. 1t is uncomfortable. The Ameri-
can people will not endure it. IfCuba is not
bound by the treaties of Spain, then the Ameri-
can people will initiate Cromwell, when he de-.
clared that he would make war on the Inaui-
stion. They i'll make war on Cuba.
