The New York Courier and Enquirer has the following
exhibition of ritad feeling with reference to the late de-
cision of the Supreme Court
From tho Courier and Enquirer
The first fruits of the action of the majority of the Su
dsparagement Of the sovereignty of the free

State legislatures by laws and regulations which will Practi
cay neurae the advantage which has been sought to be
conferred upon slavery their prejudice To deprecae this
idle II Is sure to Some State legislatures have
already shown the disposition; and when the disposition is
present the means will readily enough present themselves
Southern have already given too many lessons in this
line northern States to be at loss What easier for in
stance than transfer to the New York statute book
the law of South Carolina which required the mprs-
onmen OF free negroes entered the port of Charleston
in northern ship in company with their empoyers-to
transfer this say with barely change enough to make 1t
apply negroes who State limits from the
South in company with their masers The law in the
case was considered justified by the municipal rights Of
tho State OF South Carolina Has the State of New York
equal municipal rightsf"
This mode of expressing sympathy for The slave would
certainly be very extraordinary Toimprison man
is not the usual mode of manifesng affection for him but
il New York aboioniss will keep safely the negro slaves
who come there and restore them afterwards to their
tiers upon payment of the reasonable expenses Of snoh keep
ing perhaps the would prefer this mode of pro-
ceeding to that other which sends their property by
underground railroad to Cinads.
