yards in less time than Mr.. Charles Banks could
hop seventy five. The trial was made on the
Central Bridge. The track was in heavy con-
dition, but the Colonel ran as if "Porter's Bull"
was after him, and won his wager. 1t was a
close pull, however, as Mr. Banks showed great
hopping powers much greater than the public
expected. A good many people watched the

coal is worth so cents bushel, and corn the
same, got out of fuel while the roads we're so
bad that he could not haul coal, and in the
emergency of the case tried burning corn in the
ear IN his stove, in the place of coal, aud found
that it not only succeeded hut that it was actual
IL cheaper to burn corn than coal, and that IL
NIT Only makes hot FIRE but cleaner one
than coal
We we're quite aware Of the value OF corn

be forever prohibited in that part of the ter
ritory acquired by treaty from Louisiana, and
not included within the limits Of the State of
Louisiana The difficulty which meets us
at the threshold is, whether Congress is au-
thorized to pass such law under the powers
granted to it by the Constitution Theplain-
tiff dwells much on the clause which gives
Congress power "to make all needful rules
| and regulations respecting the territory or
| other property of the United States" But
this provision has no bearing on the present
| controversy. The power there given is con-
| fined to the territory which then belonged to
| the United States, and can have no influence
on territory wich was acquired from foreign
Governments. The Justice then referred to
the cessions of land by Virginia and other
states, saying the only object was to put an
end to existing controversies, and to enable
Congress to dispose of the lands for the COM
mon benefit Undoubtedly the power Of
| sovereignty and eminent domain was ceded
in the act This was proper to make it es-
sential. There was then no Government in
existence with enumerated powers. What
| was called the States, were thirteen indepen-
dent colonies which entered into confederaA
ton for mutual protection Itwas little more
shtiu - vi xdthbuSSduefS, In which
all had common concern. 1t was this
Congress that accepted the cession from Yir-
GINA. They had no right to do so unde
the articles of the Confederation, but thew
had right as independent powers to accept
the land for the common benefit; and it IS
equally clear. having no superior to control
them, they had right to exercise absolute
dominion, subject only to the restrictions
which Virginia imposed. The ordinance of
lIs7 was adopted, by witch the territory
should be governed, and among other proyiis-
ions was one that slavery and involuntary
servitnde should be prohibited except for
crime.
This was the state of things when the Con-
stitntion was formed. The territory coded
by Virginia belonged to the several confed-
crate States as common property The States
were about to dissolve the Confederation, and
surrender portion of Their: power for the
formation ola new Government, and the Ian
guase used limited and specified the objects
to be accomplished It was obvious that
some provision was now necessary to give
the new government the power to carry into

MS ordinary merchandise to where they could
make profit on them. The opinion thus
entertained, was universally impressed on
the colonists this side of the Atlantic; ac-
cordingly, negroes Of the African race We're
regarded by them as property, and held, and
bought, and sold, as such, in every one of
the thirteen colonies which united in the
Declaration of independence, and atterward
formed the Constitution. The doctrine of
which we have spoken was strikingly en-
forced by the Declaration of Independence
1t begins thus:
ssWhen in the course of human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the political bands which have connected
them with another, and to assume among
the powers of the earth, the separate and
equal station to which the laws Of nature and
of natures God entities them, decent res
pect to the opinions of mankind cequires that
they should declare the causes which impei
| them to the separation; and then proceeds ::
ave hold these truths to be selfevident-tha
all men are created equal; that they are
endowed BY their Creator, with certain I'M
alienable rights; that among these are life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That
to secure these rights, governments are in
| stituted among men, deriving their just pow
ers from the consent of the governed, dc.
| The word before quoted would seem to en-
brace the whole human family; and if used
in q similar instrument at this day would be
SO understood. But it is too clear for dis
pute that the African race we're notintended
to be included; for in that case, the distin-
ruished men who framed the Declaration Of
Independence, would be flagrantly against
the principles which they asserted. They
who framed the Declaration Of Independence
were men of two much honor, education and
intelligence to say what they did not be-
iese, and they knew that in no part of the
civilized world were the negro race by COM
mon consent admitted to the rights of free
| dom. They spoke and acted according to
the practices, doctrines and usages of the
day. That unfortunate race was supposed to
| be separate from the whites. aud was never
thought or spoken of except as property
