permit. Yet, in forbidding any deprivation of
liberty without due process of law, enslavement
Is forbidden, of course. The courts have no
authority, either by statute law or common law,
to declare any man slave. The explanation
of due process of law y that supposes such a
thing, is without any Foundation.
No such explanation can consist with the
safety of any portion of the people. If the
courts, wfShout statue law and against common
law, may pronounce any man slave, they may
pronounce any other man slave. And so we
are all left without any protection from enslave-
ment, so far as our boosted American Govern
naert is concerned Nay, the Federal Govern
ment, by its Judiciary, may itself reduce to Sla-
very any citizen of the United States!
But the pertinency and force of my argument
do not requird me to maintain that this article
was inserted in the Constitution for the direct
purpose either of abolishing Slavery or of Sc
curing any persons, white or colored, from chat
tel ensavement. 1t is sufficient for my argu-
ment that the article toas designed and has the
power, to secure every "persOn," bond or Free
white or colored, from being deprived of life,
liberty, or property, without due process of
law as that process has always been under
stood and described. In doing this, it must of
course secure all persons from ensavement,
without such process, for enslavement deprives
persons of liberty. 1t was impossible for the
people to have the security provided in this
clause, without an article that should, in mat
ter of fact, condemn the Slavery that exists in
this country as illegal, and provide for its sup
preston. At any rate, the people did, in fact,
adopt such provision, in adopting this amend
ment.
Its character, as being an amendment"
deserves particular notice. An amendment to
a Constitution, like the codicil to a will, over
rides, repeats, displaces, and annuls, whatever
may be found to conflict with it in the original
instrument. ] might afford, therefore, planting
myself on this amendment, to concede, for the
arguments sake, whatever any STAKEHOLDER
might claim in respect to the pro-slavery char
acter of the original Constitution. This amend
ment of itself would render it all powerless. II
requires the suppression Of all the Slavery IN the
country. But shall show, before have done
that the original instrument requires the same.

From the Hartford tcl, Republican.


The Courant of last Thursday morning con,
tains an article, under the title of The Lesso,,S
of the Late Eiection,n which somewhat sur
prises us. Before the election, our neighbor
contended that the great issues before the
people were Anti-Slavery and Temperance,
No,c he says:
"When the old parties become so effete as TO
contend about mere distractions, fossil issues
of the dead past, the common people did not
sympathize with them, and will not follow Their
lead When the principles which govern then
become so obsolete-so much involved in the
mists of the past-that young men cannot feel
their value as their fathers did, in the period If
their youth, is it any wonder that they fora
for themselves young, fresh vigorous organs
cation, on new basis, and forsake the old
party attachments of the past generation z
Such party has arisen in the country. II
has carried State after State. Connecticut has
/ been partially revolutionized by it. She is
destined to feel its power more thoroughly
hereafter. Virginia aciW come nert, for the
American party is National in its characte.,
and IS destined to stceep orer the land. II ,cia
gice us that strong National tone which ace hate
long needed, and iciH crash out the 6aJ6le Gf
cosmopolitan philanthropy"
The sentences we italicise need an expanas
ton. If the american Parity" is to be Ma
tional in its character, carrying such States as
Virginia, it cannot be Anti Slavery. What
kind of National tone " do we need +? Has
not the whole North become utterly sick of the
" National tone" of the old parties? Webelieve
the import of the recent election is, that the
people of Connecticut hate Rum and Slavery
Thousands of good Temperance and Anti.
Slavery voters went in with the Know Nothings
to defeat Hunkerism. This was their object
They cared. less for Amercanismn than for
free country, less about the Irish than the three
million of american slaves in this land. Such
men will never stay in National American
party, for such party will not be true to
Freedom.
