HOW SHALL WE UNDERSTAND THE
CONSTITUTION.

The National 1rtolligcnccr has six columns, and
position, adopted by Mr.. Sumner-that each pub
lie officer who takes an oath to support the Consti-
tuition, "swears that he will support it as lie under
stands it, and not as it is understood ly others"
Perhaps our readers may be interested in Pc
rusing General Jackson's annunciation of this
principle which created no mall commotion at
the time both in Congress and out of it. 1t is an
extract from Jackson's message Of July 1882, We
toing the bill for tie charter Of the U. S. Bank.
"It is maintained hy the advocates Of the Bank
that its cUnstitutionality, in all It's features, ought
to he considered MS settled by precedent, and by
the decision Of the Supreme Court. TO this con-
clusion l cannot assent"
IF the opinion Of the Supreme Court covered
the whole ground Of ths net. it ought not to co n
troll the coordinate authorities of this Government.
The Congress, the Executive, and the Court must
each for itself lie guided by It's own opiIion of the
Constitution. Each public rficer, who takes an
oath to support the Constitution. swenrs that he
will support it as lie understands it. and not as it
is understood by others. 1t is M much the duty
of the House Of Representatives, of the Senate,
and If the President to decide uron the constitu-
tionality of amy bill or resolution which may be
presented to them for passage Or approval, as it is
nt the supreme Judges wien it NAV be brought
before them for judicial decision. The opinion Of
the Judges has 40 more authority over Congress
than the opinion of Congress has over the judges;
and, ON that point, the President is indcpendent Of
BOTH. The authority Of the Supreme Court must
not, therefore, be permitted to control the Congress
Or the Executive, |ncn acting i'll their Legislative
capacities, ~ to have only such Influence as the
iorce ~ .nCir reasoning may deserve"

A PROPOSAL TO INTRODUCE SLAVERY

proposition for the establishment of Slavery in
that State, and accompanies the proposition with
arguments for its adoption. The article will be
found ON our first page. |, will he seen that the
writer thinks II majority Of the State are in favor
of the measure. Perhaps they are. Certainly
there is little regard for liberty in Illinois or else
where. Illinois once voted herself a slayo State.
but was restrained from formally executing her
her resolves, by the Ordinance Of 81. Like other
northern States, she is only nominaUy free-her
soil is a slaVe-catching soil for all u slayeholding
soil for her neighbors, though not for her own citi-
.zens, and it would not be strange if these last
were to conclude that they themselves might enjoy
the blessings of slaveholding, which they 50 cheer

Missouri neighbors. The State is, in its ~predomi-

sustaining the right Of slayeholding in

PRACTICE AGAINST PROFESSION.

DEAR MARIUs: The deliyerance of the human
family from sin, is at present he proposed work OF
all the religious Sects in our country. And for
this proposed Object they build splendid meeting
houses, and keep up an ever active ministry, back
ed by religious journals aud other periodicals.
Yet Notwithstanding the immense number Of chur-
ohes already built, and TIE prolessed object is
daily ayowed; still it is in most places utterly
impossible 70 obtain the use Of a single chapel
in which to plead tie cause Of humanity. EsIeci
aly ,choa you pould sho,o nay people Israel Me0
sins. Even the would-Le, anti-sla,ery United
Brctheren in Christ, and evangelical church, de-
liberaiely close doors against us in many places.
In Milton Stark county the evangelical church
did permit me to give two anti-slaycry lectures
within her sacred walls, but when the third was
to come off in which the religious face of the ques'
ton was to be considered. Then the Bell was
dunn and the door was locked, and we had to To-
pair to an old schoolhouse. If such is tho work
of saving mankind in the best of them, what shall
we say Of the mass. Ga my own responsibility
suffer me to declare, that so foreign is their p%roies
sion from their practice that it is no miss-nomeI

thousand dollars to any one delivering tho said Ii.
b. Blackwell to them, or either of them, in the
town Of Macon.
Mr.. Blackwell is highly honored. These chival,
rous Tcnncssean- viii give 81, 900 ohis kidnnppcrs
as a subject for " fire, fagSot, and the the knife
for their amusement. Mr.. Bllckwclls danger, we
take it, is not very imminent, and he will prob.
aqly take it calmly. Ten thousand did not sriire
to buy Mr.. Garrison's head. and ono thousand only
from the Macon chivalry will be thought too mean
to tempt oven a willing scoundrel to take Mr..
Blackwcll's whole person. But perhaps they pro-
propose to use the Fugitive Slave Law. How well
that might do we can't say.
If the Governor of Ohio had the inclination

MARLBORO AND 1N1FDELITY.

-
Editor Of tie BUg1c-DEAR SIR: ! nm q reader
of your paper, and find much pleasure in perusing
it. In your No. Sept. 10th last, | there found
reported the proceedings Of the Marlboro Anti
Slavery Convention. | was pleased with that
Convention as it is reported. l say amen, to the
resolutions.
But, Mr.. Editor, this is not all. l was struck
with more surprise to find that such n Convention
was held in that God-fOrsaken place called Mari
boro, near Salem, or next to Salem in wickedness
and Infdclity. Not that | know anything about
Marlboro myself, for l never was there, nor do l
know any one that lives there. | do not mean to
he understood that l never hoard of Marlboro and
Salem, for l have. / will now tell you how and
when.
was at the Yearly Meeting of the Disciples in
Bedford, CuyGhoga Co., Ohio, last September, and
on Monday, as is their custom, many of their
speakers occupied some time. One Of them, they
called him Errit, n sort Of an agent amongst them,
Iof course he wanted money, and for the purpose
Of driving I~nfdclity from the land; lie spoke .!
many places where the gospel had had a footing
churches planted, &c. but now lnfdelity stnlked
abroad at noonday-one place was Marlboro
when WhS perfectly corrupted ny the awful system
Of lnfdelity, Of which the place is almost ready I,
sink, because Of the wickcdness of the people
The youth were growing up without any restraint
and those even Of the Infdel faith were begging
for some Of them to come and live amongst then
and teachthcir schools, for their youth were going
to destruction, without the influence of the Biblt
and Christianity, in other words, a church-goin2
people. Marlboro, he said, was next to Salem il
all i%mpi)iio4 even the Society of Friends, OF
many Of thea, had fallen into that awful pit o
miro.
This is the way l learned of Marlboro. Ant
being informed by one of the guides Of the way
why should | not have been more than SURPRISED
to read Of SO honorable n Convention in that plac,
that had been so ~awfully depicted to me? | asked
,nyself, have | been wrongly informed, or, has the
man Errit, or some of his brethren been there, anC
taught them the more perfect way ? for if | am
Judge, they have spoken nohly for the cause o
humanity in Marlboro. So | say, | am glad i
obey have learned the more perfect way, for the,
must have learned since Errit taught me abou
Marlboro, or he was mistaken. viii you tell o
what you know Of Marlboro?
