The Nationality of Slavery DissallOyy.
cd in alifOrnia.

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. Its the decision offs 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 a 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-
illusions from those of Judge Anderson, who de-
cided similar case in one of the California
| courts about three years since.
Judge Hays is a native of Baltimore, and was
for some time 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 cor.espondentsays Of Judge Hays, that
he is "a democrat in the strictest sense Of the
word" and, so far as we can judge from his
opinion, he is well entitled to that epithet.-TN.

said he was going to Chicago, and on learning
that the train would not leave for some time,
expressed his JOY, saying he was glad of an OPP
portunity to look about the city. With this he
started up and invited the two strangers TO go
with him. They consented, and the trio set out
towards the Fort. When they were crossing the

Tsr Late Election 81 u. =. Directors.
The Gazette is still harping upon the failure Of
4. stockholders to re-elect Judge Hail The
EXPLANATION Of its course lie found in certain con-
,..es. for ties, and not any anxiety for the ad-
,sucemes. Of the road.
The whole matter is ina nutshell Last year,
NJ. xoipes county put Judge Hall in the Board
4 p;rectors, Judge Wighiman voting the stock,
..r.s his duty, and this year the same gentle
man has been put out by the same stock, repre-.
..,,ea BIZ Judge Newman. No political or per-
.,u.l considerations governed or influenced the
.o,e, cast, Mr.. Newman in his representative
e.pacity. as County Judge, was altogether. the
most proper person to represent Dcs Moines
County. and look after the large interest We have
IN this important enterprise. Judge Hall him
..,fso remarked and decided before the election
,aok place--all the private stockholders in this
and most OF those on the line Of the road, voted
for Mr.. Newman, in his character of County
Judge He is responsible to the people for his
,c, and If he follows their interest faithfully
and as resolutely as in this instance, he will be
,;te,r 10 have long lease of Office.
The election Of Judge Hall was felt last year,
nv even hi. personal friends, to be detrimental
~ tho enterprise. He was dead weight upon
The Board Of Directors and an incubus upon
the road Every body knew and acknowledged
j, bereabo.ts without distinction Of party,
when he was elected President. His own party
friends we're just as anxious to get rid Of him as
any body else, but had not the nerve to do it,
We say this unwillingly. But the imprudent and
Unfair course Of the Gazette forces us to it,
We have not the smallest cause of quarrel with
Judge Hail. and would not willingly hurt his
feelings He is no doubt gentleman of all the
the ability which the Gazette has given him.
But bis legal lore, his business training and thc
tenor of his life has not been such Us to fit him
for the post of President of this or any other
Railroad Company The gentleman should con-
fine himselfto his briefs. Il is not talents so
much as good practical, every day sound horse
sense, and business capacity and influence among
business men that is needed. Parson Johnson
would build Railroad to the Pacific before
Judge Hall would on his own resources, con-
struct one to Skunk river. God has undoubtedly
created everything for some wise and useful
ssrpose, and every man has his place. But
Judge Halls mission never lay in this direction.
