Slavery vote will he by far the largest. This

ought, and have no doubt will.

for Freedom. At the recent Ohio Baptist

The Synod of the Western Reserve adop-

and New Jersey expressed strong and ear
nest condemnation of the efforts being made
for the extension of the system Of slavery
beyond its present limits in the Slave States
of the confederacy.
The Methodist Conferences of the Free
States have everywhere spoken out in be-
half of Freedom to the Territories. and in
opposition to the wrong and outrages COM

The Nationality of slavery DissallOW.
ed In California.

An important opinion, recently delivered by
Judge Hays, in the Court of the First Judicial
District of California, will be found in another
part OF this sheet 1t is the decision Of cause
which involved, as the correspondent from
whom we have received it truly says, the ques-
ton whether the free states have constitutions
and laws which are to be observed, or whether
they both lose their validity when they come in
to collision with the interests of slavery.
The case was that Of several families Of slaves,
some of whom were children, who had been
brought into California in 1851, and whom their
master, Robert Smith, after residence Olive
years in that state, now desires to take back to
Texas and slavery. To pursuade them to ac-
company him, he had told them that they should
be as free in Texas as in California. The decis-
ion of Judge Hays arrives at quite different con-
clusions from those of Judge Anderson, who de-
cided similar case in one of the California
courts about three years since.
Judge Hays is native of Baltimore, and was
for some time a resident of Missouri before NOV
ing to California. The course of reasoning, how
ever, which he pursues in his opinion, shows him
to be a man of humane and enlightened views,
and not disposed, upper any pretext, to sanction
the claim lately set up in behalf of the slave
holders, to make slavery national, and to put the
rights Of their class above all state laws and
constitutions
Our correspondentsays of Judge Hays, that
he is "a democrat in the strctest sense of the
word" and, so far as we can judge from his
opinion, he is well entitled to that epithet.-[N.
