are rot CONTEXT to stsnd merely on the defensise
Trey therefore 60 further, AID claim that Slavery
"a NJ. an institution Of some of TIE States, bat On
TIE contrary al institution of the United stses. II
10 assumed that the Federal Constitution expressly
places property in slaves on The sane level with
o,btr XII de Of property, and extends to II the sane
guarantees which il extends TO other kinds OF prNp-
eIty. Grant this assumption, and the argument
proceeds at rapid rate. All the acts passed in
TIE Northern States for tie abolition OF Slavery
were Dfsctons Of the constitutional provisions for
tie protection of property. 1t follows, als,, that
all tie existing laws Of the Northern States By
which Shareholders are forbidden TO bring their
slave property into thoss States, and to hold aud
u,e It there, are equally unconstitutional. What
is recognized a. property By the Constitution OF
the United States, BY provision which apPles
"enalIy to all TIE States, has an male Enable night
"to be protected in all the States"
But this argument puts into the Federal Consti'
tution what rot TO be found there, nor indeed
even in ally State Constitution unless in some Of
those frsmsd or amended within few years past.
The Federal Constitution, in its obscure and rather
bs.bfu auusons to slaves refers to them as persons
as debtors, not as property. The very provision
fox the return Ct fugitives is based upon the idea
that the rights Of the owner, instead OF being
general right Of propt rty we're of peculiar coarae-
ter, and only to be enforced By special provisions
There i, great danger however that by constant
repetition this idea will be gradually in'tilled into
the public mind that the Federal Constitution does
recognize slaves a. property. 1t is an assertion,
which, when form ally made ought to meet with
just as formal contradiction.

1t wss the late Mr. Hume, we believe who 6rst
suggested the idea Of supplying the deficiency Of
labor in the West Indies by buying slaves on the
colonies, not, however, as slaves, but as free
labOrers. The English Government rejected this
project on the ground, among others, that it could
rot be carried into effect without seeming partic-
cation in the slave trade and stimulus to the
Dc soatpg internal war; BY which the African slave
markets are supplied This scheme, however, has
recently been taken in hand by the Emperor Lonis
Napoleon, who has authorized certain Mr.. Regis
to engage on the coast of Africs, by purchase, if
peces,ary, from the chiefs, 3 certain number of
persons. to be transported to the French West
Indies to serve as indentured laborers.
1t hiss, indeed, been denied by Mr. Regis that il.
was spy part Of his plan to buy slaves. He in
tended to get emigrants, and the money he pro-
posed to pay was only by way Of inducemeut to
the chiefs to allow their people to emigrate But
in Africa Tie thing seems to have been understood
differently. Mr.. Regis having lately visited Why
dab, in the Blight Of Benin, former famous mart
Of the Slave trade in the screw steamer Stella
for the purpose Of cole ctipg twe've hundred emf
grants, bad been followed thither by whole host
Of r. eular saye traders. A recent letter from Mr.
Campbell the British Con.a at Lagos, printed in
the English paptrs de'cribes the effect Of this
newed d.msnd for slaves as very DISASTROUS. Since
the suppression Of the slave trade on that coast
quite an exten.iee legitimate commerce had sprung
up. The natives had even taken to the cultivation
of cottop. and gins to clean it had been sent ont
to them from Man chester. But the new compet
ton between Mr.. Regis and the regular slave
traders had started of the chiefs to hunt for slaves
and threatened to lido all that had been accom-
pli.hed in the last three or four years The latest
accounts were, however, more encouraging, at least
for the Blight Of Benin. IL would ieem that Mr..
Regis, rot able 10 stand the competition Of the
slave traders whom Ae had drawn 10 his train, had
Jeff Wbydhh and proceeded further south, in hopes
to complete his complement. He having quilted
the coast il was thought the regular slave traders
would abasdou the attempt at reessstishing the
trade there especially as number of captures had
recently been made in those waters.

What is n Slave State :

Il il not State in which men unsccused of
crime are legslly held in Slavery If not thst,
what IS Slave State?
The .unJer Of Saves held is not essential.
Delaware has very few, yet she is uoquessonA'ly
Slave State II ninety .nine hundredths OF her
present slaves should escape or be maoumitted. she
would still be Slave State so long as her consttu-
ton and laws should authorize the holding Of slaves
on her soil.
Nor does the fact that the importation of slaves is
prohibited render State Free. Many of the Slave
States, with the District of Columbia have laws
obstructng or seriously embarrassing the introduce
ton Of Slaves But nobody ever till now held this
to constitute them Free States.

TIE voters of our City who think they have had
enough of Fernar do Wood as Mayor are called to
assemble at the Merchants Exchange and respond
to the Independent nomination q Alderman Tie
mann, made by their Committee appointed at the
former meeting. We believe arrangements have
been made to secure the attendance Of able
speakers, and We are happy to announce that the
Hon JAMES L. COOLEY will preside.
The merchants and business men of cur City are
doubtless generally opposed to Woods reelection
If that opposition amounts, however only to
lukewarm preference that our City should be ruled
ard represented TO the world by one else, the
Contest may as we'll be given up at once. Such
sort Of opposition will not suffice to beat dens-
goeue 30 able, so ndefatieable and so unscrupuous
ss Fernando Wood. If those opponents Of Wood
who have character TO maintiin and property to
ose ale not willing to take their coats Off and give
esrnest work to the contest, his reelection is sure
1t is az well TO understand at once that every haunt
Of dissipation, vice and crime IN our city is an
active recruiting station for Wood and that we N
poll Twenty FIVE thousand Votes without receiving
one from those who get their living by any means Of
which they ought not to be ashamed. 1t will take
Thirty Eve Thousand Votes to beat bim, and that
number is not to be polled for any candidate at 3
merely Municipal Election without determined aud
persistent effort.
We put the case thus broadly, for we a re sverss
to any cbids play in the business. Are there Five
Thousand solid men in our City willing to make
personal sacrifices in order to beat Wood Arc
there Ten Thoufsnd who will give days work or
more to iDsure bis rejection at the polls If there
are he can be defeated; if not, not. If you mean
to defeat him, and are willing to help do it, attend
the meeting this afternoon and say so

A letter from Kansas of the 9Th inst from
pr, mineDt Free. State man, thus indicates the
course medtated by the Free.State party. I. was
too early how ever for consultation and decision:
"The Constitution without Slavery is Pro-
Slavery Constitution and have vote against il.
do lot know what will be done, Blu. think We shall
net vote at all upon it ill the Territorial Legislature
meet and provide for submitting it with the Topeka
Constitution to fair vote Of the people. We can do
nothing by voting before. The President Of their
Convention, J. Calhoun, a very ultra man, appoints
the Judges of Ee cton and counts the votes and be
suIed Gov. Walker for rejecting the Oxford and
MCGEE frauds. Should the above eourse be pursued,
we trust our rends in Congress will keep off the vote

Ii seems to us-though we express the opinion
with gent Difference, and shall defer to the decision
of cur friends in KaIsss-!hat their Advisable course
under the circumstances is to organize, canvass,
and prepare to poll their full vote on ths 2lst Of

the usurters are, but bearing on the inside the
word.-"Fsr Tie Topeka Constitutions and No

refuse to count them. Very well: Let measures
be taken in advance for sending up from esch poll
