SHEEP-SHEARING IN SPAIN.

We make the following extract from the brthcou-
ing Agricultural Report on the sheep-husbsndry OF
Spain:
"The season for sheep-shearing in Spain, lEe ne

Correspondence OF Inc ~ 4. IrlDubs
SYRACUSE, Thursday, June 2s, 1855.
The session last evening was entirely occupied as
was the first evening" with discussion Of the Slavery
character of the Federal Constitution These de-
bates have been entirely imprompt, and the speeches
short and pointed. Not single set speech has yet
been made. The constitutional debate has taken the
entire range of the subject and the histories of its
adoption, as well the meaning of the paper ITSELF
have been largely dwelt upon. Messrs. LEWIS TAP
PAN, GKRRIr SMITH, WILLIAM GooDELL, BEMAH
GREEN, j. McCUsE SMITH and Others took part in the
discussion last evening. The ground which has been
Travelled over and over again and again in the Anti
Slavery gatherings this subject has necessarily
been substantially travelled on this occasion. The
Hon. ASsEL BAscoM of Seneca falls made strong
spec oh the section of the Constitution orbdding
bills of attander which he argued TO be violated by
the slave codes. But two three speakers have at
tempted TO controver the position that the Constitu
ton is an Anti-Savery document; the almost unsni-
nous voice of the Convention is favorable 10 this
Anti Slavery view. One object of The debate under
stand to be the matchmaking of the large number of
Ami Slavery lecturers present with f1l knowledge
of the constitutional question: on which II Is thought
the people of the North need instruction.
During the Afternoon Session yesterday a good
looking mulatto man-almost white and about 20
years old-was introduced as having escaped from
Slavery on Friday last understand that he from
Fredericksburg, Maryland. The underground railroad
is att-ning expedition that makes II a sure and
safe route. This man but four days in coming
from Maryland to this city, and the fifth day finds him
under British protection Several gentlemen expressed
desire 10 know how this fugitive escaped, &C.; but
Fred. Douglas put quetus to this by suggesting
that if this Information was made public the savehoId
would be able to take precautions against other
such glad events.
