Mr.. Smith, of Virginia, briefly stated HIS OBJ

Mr.. Gerrit Smith, Of New York, advocated

took Of it, il was ON admission that the Gov
eminent did not own these lands, and that the
landless did.
The hour Of three o'clock having arrived, TO
which tho debate had been limited by the
House, MIR. Dawson, the member reporting the
measure, made brief reply TO the objections
which had been urged against the bill.
The Committee then rose, and the House re-

the provisions Of the several laws granting

have been engaged in the military service Of

SENATOR CHASE AND THE CONSTITUTION.

/ Senator Chase, in his speech, says Of the
Constitution "That charter Of government
was not formed on Pro-Slayery principles
but upon Anti-Slavery principles. II nowhere
recognises any right Of property in man. y
nowhere confers upon the Government which 1t
creates the power 10 establish or to continue
Slavery And, to .fortify his position, he quotes
the language Of Mr.. Justice Mclean: That
cannot divest them Of the leading and control
ling quality of persons, by which they are de-
agnafed ia the Constitution. The character
OF property is given them by the local law.
This law is respected, and all rights under it
are protected by the Federal authorities But
the Constitution acts upon slaves "a persons,
and not as property"
II the honorable Senator offers the best
arguments his side Of the question affords, the
decision will he an eeay one, for he answers
himself He summons Mr. Madison az evil
dence We quote the Senator: Mr.. Madison
himself records, in his report Of the debates OF
tho Convention, his own declaration, that it
was wrong to admit in the Constitution the
idea that there could BIO property in men,
Can anything BIO more conclusive that It had
been admitted, than this declaration that they
did wrong in having admitted it, 1t is per-
fectly certain, il 1t had not been admitted, Mr..
Madison could not have used the language
quoted, and it is susceptible OF no other inter
probation. Washington Sentinel
The Sentinel places within quotation marks,
the twelve closing lines and attributes them to
Senator Chase We cannot suspect our neigh
bors of having done this Intentionally, but
there it Language and sentiments attributed
to Mr.. Chase, which he never uttered and ut
n -f
terly repudiates The only sentiment for which
he is responsible is this: e Mr.. Madison him
self records, in his report of the debates Of the
Convention, his own declaration, that it was
wrong to admit in the Constitution the idea
that there conld be property in man"
The inference that follows-that it was clear
from this that the idea had been admitted
&c--is the reasoning Of the Sentinel, not of
Mr.. Chase viii that journal mako the re-
quisite explanation, and acquit Mr.. Chase Of
the authorship Of what originated solely in its
own braina
AS to the inference Of the Sentinel, it's edit
ors will pardon us for saying, that it could
only have been made by one ignorant Of the
Madison Papers. By consulting them, it viii
be found, that q certain clause in relation to
Slavery being under consideration, Mr.. Madi
son and others objected to the phraseology, on
the ground that it Implied tho idea Of property
in man--that it was then Mr.. Madison said,
it would he "wrong to admit in the Constitu-
tion the idea that there could be property in
man land thai the phraseology sOas accord
imgiy changed, so as to ezciude this impiication.
Mr. Madison's record Of facts is better a,i-
thority than the Ssntineps interpretation.
