A FALL ".

The assertion, that the trainers Of the Con.
stitution contemplated slavery only as tenn
porary condition, and so treated, 1t has been so
often made, and is still daily repeated and
urged, even by men whose character give them
claim to the merit Of sincerity that we propose
briefly TO notice this singular fallacy.
The question which presents itself at the
very threshold Of this matter, is, how long was
that Temporary condition" to last-at what
moment to cease?
That its incipiency was not to commence
from the formation Of the Constitution, and 10
be shortly consummated, is perfectly clear
from that provision in the Constitution which
peremptorily inhibits any attempt to stop its
illimitable increase for twenty years. And
as also appears by that other clause, which
enjoins on Congress IN perpetu to make
provision for the restoration of fugitive slaves.
BY the phraseology Of the Constitution, even
after the expiration Of twenty years, authority
to stop the continued influx Of slaves is only
permissire; and unless their successors had
availed themselves Of the permission thus
given, the influx Of slaves would have con.
tinued to this day.
Had the desire to have slavery temporary
institution prevailed in the convention, and il
had been the purpose Of the convention to
render il temporary, the constitutional clause re.
latng TO this subject would have given to Con.
gress permission to legalize the slave trade for
twenty years, and no longer, that at the expi
ration Of that time il should not be lawful for
Congress to legalize the trade, but that hence
forth il should be piracy.
The very reverse Of this is the fact. the Con.
vention made most stringent provisions for
securing the continuance Of the slave trade for
at least twenty years, and .forerer after that,
unless Congress specially interfered to end It
and nowhere in the Constitution is there any
intimation that Congress was expected to
do So
Certainly the making provision for the dou.
bling and quadrupling the number of slaves
bears on its face no evidence Of purpose to
make slavery a temporary condition; or, if
temporary, still the ending Of it must have
been long time of, or else the introduction
OF million Of negroes, would only serve TO
specEle the country with free negroes popu.
lation not coveted by any
But above all, do the provisions in the Con.
stitution, in regard TO slavery, wear in any
degree the aspect Of compuIsion in bringing
about an abolition Of slavery in this country.
If the Constitution be national, or any clause
IN i be so, then slavery is national If the
national flag protected it on the high seas.

Interesting TO Railroad Travellers.

The following curious question of law, which
has been under consideration by one of the
New York courts for some time, and which
presents some features Of interest to travellers
by railroads, has already been briefly men
toned:
The Erie railroad has been in the habit of
charging an additional price for all tickets not
purchased at the ticket Office Several persons.
Ignorant of the rule, rendered their pay to the
conductor Of the car as he passed along, and
found themselves compelled TO pay this usuri.
GUS interest. In June q Mr.. Austin took his
place in one Of the cars Of the company with.
out purchasing his ticket The distance Of his
trip was three miles-the price ten cents.
When the conductor came to him he offered
the ten cents, but was asked for an extra dime.
Finding that this mode Of travelling would be-
come expensive he refused to pay, and was
shown the door. He brought an action to
recover damages; judgment was. rendered in
his favor for twenty-five dollars ahd costs. the
court decided that the statutes did not autbor.
ize the company to demand more than three
cents per mile, and that all further charge was
illegal, and consequently that they had no
right to ask the sum in question.

We do not regard Mr. FILLMORE as our chief
opponent in this canvass. But as his name
has been alluded to in connection with this
subject, we would simply commend TO our
Louisville contemporary the entire record of
MnLARD FILLMORE in connection with the
slavery question. Let it ponder his record
well, and when it has come to conclusion, let
1T learn to cast the beam out of its own eye,
and then possibly, despite its federal jaundice,
II may see clearly to cast the mote out Of its

The Democratic GeneaIogy.

That Democratic veteran, Daniel S. Dickin.
son, in letter just written to encourage the
Democracy Of Erie to unite, gloriously says:
The principles involved in the great issues
about to be tried, are, on our part, the prin.
ciples Of the Constitution of Washington.
Jefferson, Madison, and Jackson-principles
which germinated with the embarkation of the
Pilgrims-which found development at Lexing.
ton, Bunker Hill, Saratoga and Yorktown
in the Declaration Of Independence, and finally
in the formal adoption Of our glorious Con.
sttution. He who will not maintain them is
faithless and degenerate son-he who would
put forth his hand to subvert them, is thrice
paracide. These principles have brought our
country TO its present distinguished emnence
among the nations Of the earth. These prin.
ciples, if perpetuated will, in spite Of the wills
Of the demagogue, or the howls OF fanaticism.
give to our children's children through ali
coming time, the blessings Of freedom, happi.
ness and peace"
That's the talk for the times Down on
fomenters Of rebellion; down on subverters Of
the Constitution !. down on geographical par
ties. Stand by the Democratic banner now,
and your children shall bless you for itl-Bos.

THE PRESS AND THE cANDIDaTEs.

In the days of Gen. jackson, fayorite mode
OF electloneering by the opponents of the De-
mocratic party, was the enumeration of news.
papers favoring respectively the Democratic
party and the Opposition. And, truly, had vic.
tory depended upon the number of papers re-
spectivey supporting the pretensions of each par
,ty, the Opposition would have had good reason
TO claim triumph; but it turned out on every
election that although the opposition had three
papers to one, they had hardly more than one
third of the votes.
In similar manner votes were taken on
steamboats,, railroads, and watering places, and
Gen. Jackson was always beaten at these bas-
tard tests, beaten everywhere, except at the
ballot box, and never beaten there.
A moral may be drawn from this lesson
In regard to the press an anomalous state of
things has always existed and now most srik-
ingly exists. For instance, in the city of New
York the Black Republicans, out of some CO.,
600 votes, cast about 5000. Yet they are
represented by the Daily Times, Eoeaing Post,
New York Herald, Couier and Eaqui,er, and
the Tribune, and some four or FIVE other pa
pers, having an aggregate circulation of a
million, and receipts Of many millions of dol
lars, drawn mainly from Democratic pockets,
while the Ne,cs and Day Book, Democratic
papers, exc out starving life, powerless to do
good for want of circulation.
We may extend these remarks to Philadel-
phia and Baltimore, where similar spectacles
are exhibited.
1t is a shameful fact that the Democratic
party by subscriptions and advertisements, no
where give life, vigor and effect TO their pa
pers.
The New York Journal Of Commerce is only
incidentally political it, too, gained It's posi-
tion by opposition to the Democratic party ;
having Of late taken strong national conserva.
tive ground. We rejoice to believe it continues
to receive remunerating support, and has
circulation which can give good effect to its
counsels, of late SO sound and wholesome.
If the Democratic party would come to the
support Of a good Democratic journal, and
give to it as it ought, subscription Of mil
lion of subscribers, and proportionate advertis-
ing, paper could spring up overshadowing
all others in the world, being issued morning
and evening, and each number containing mat
ter, in all branches Of knowledge, business
and politics, and edited in every branch of it by
men of the first ability.
1t would soon force an immense circulation
in Europe. To the establishment of Demo.
cratic paper of this character, there are parties
in command OF millions who are ready to EN-.
bark, whenever its feasibility is determined.
Hitherto the strength of the Democratic
party has depended, mainly, upon mems in.
stincts, but the country has become SO widely
extended, SO many local and side issues dis
tract the country that there should, perhaps
be some common source TO which to look for
reliable information.
We may nnd occasion to pursue these views
with further comment, and leave them for the
present to general digestion.

From the Boston Post.
The H0osiers and Old Buck.

Here's crumb of comfort for black pubs.
who think Illinois is going for Fremont. The
Chicago Times says:
No man in his senses thinks of this State
voting for any one but Buchanan. As we said
when Mr. Buchanan was nominated the De-
mOeracy of Illinois win give him larger ma
jority, in proportion to the entire vote, than he
will obtain in Pennsylvania. Any Pennsylya.
MIA editor who wants to lose hat on that
proposition may apply for our measure at once"
TINS IS THE FLAGl-Co Black, of Penn
sylvania, said in his speech on the 4th:
" 1t is related of Henry of Navarro that be-
fore going into his greatest engagement, he
said to his troops, when you are in doubt, fol
low my white plume May be pardoned for
saying to you, my countrymen, when doubt
comes over you, in peace or war, in prosperity
or adversely, follow the flag of the American
Union"
Don't look at the sixteen star bunting flying
over the Fremonters.
Which IS BEsT?-Buchanan has had forty
years experience in public life, and Fremont
has had forty days; and while the former has
filed every place to which he has been called
with honor, Fremonts experience demonstrate
that he never was in the right place at the
right time.
Washington sentinel., 1856-07-29

where we have no exclusive jurisdiction, why
will not the same flag protect it in the Terri
tories where we have exclusive jurisdiction.
Suppose California had at that time been
part of our territory, and slaves from Africa
had been imported into San Francisco, and
transported east overland, would the protection
of the American flag which had covered the
property in strange lands, on the common
ocean, fail at the very moment of reaching
American soil; if not, would it endure during
the passage (from San Francisco to the States)
over the territory? Would con6scation or
abolition have followed if the owners chose to
remain in California with their slaves?
If slavery was not legal in the Territories,
the Missouri Compromise would have given
permission to slavery south of 36o 3O< instead
OF prohibiting it north Of that; for if illegal,
prohibition was unnecessary
All the facts Of history conflict with the idea
that the Constitution or its trainers considered
slavery as temporary condition.
They did all in their power to leave it un.
trammelled, and to be determined by posterity
for itself

ted States than that of all the Southern Re-
publics united. How, then, can the American
people even agree that this island shall be in
vaded by Colombia and Mexico, and pass under
their dominionl Ought we not to avert its
impending fate, if possible?
" Important as the island may be to us in n
commercial, it is still more important in a DO
litical view. From its position il commands
the entrance to the Gulf both of Mexico and
Florida. The report of our Committee of
Foreign Relations, truly says, that the Moro
may be regarded as a fortress at the mouth of
the Mississippi Any power in possession of
this island, even with small naval force, could
hermetically seal the mouth of the Mississippi.
Thus the vast agricultural productions of that
valley, which Is drained by the father Of
rivers, might be deprived of the channel which
nature intended for their passage A large
portion of the people Of the State, one OF
whose representatives | am, find their way To
market by the Mississippi For this reason /
feel particularly interested in this part Of the
subject. The great law of selfpreservation.
which is equally binding on individuals and
nations, commands us, if we cannot obtain
possession Of this island ourselves, not TO suffer
it to pass from Spain, under whose dominion il
will be harmless, and yet our Government
have never even protested against its invasion
by Mexico and Colombia.
There is still another view of the subject
in relation to this island, which demands par.
ticular attention. Let us for moment look at
the spectacle which it will probably present in
case Mexico and Colombia should attempt IA
revolutionize it. Have they not always marched
under the standard of universal emancipation ?
Have they not always conquered by proclaim
ing liberty to the slave In the present condi.
ton Of this island, what shall be the probable
consequence A servi!e war, which in every
age has been the most barbarous and destrnc
tive, and which spares neither age nor sex.
Revenge, urged on by cruelty and ignorance
would desolate the land. The dreadful scenes
Of st. Domingo would again be presented to our
view, and would again be acted almost within
sight Of our own shores. Cuba would be a
vast magazine in the vicinity Of the Southern
States, whose explosion would be dangerous to
their tranquility and peace. Is their any man
in this Union who could for one moment in
dulge the horrid idea Of abolishing slavery by
the massacre Of the highminded and chivalrous
race of men in the South | trust there Is
not one. For my own part, would without
hesitation, buckle on my knapsack, and march
in company with my friend from Massachu-
setts Mr.. Everett) in defence Of their cause"
