We gave rome account yesterday Of the passage
Of some very significant resolutions by the Missouri
Legislature on the subject Of slave emancipation
The introduction and tenor Of those resolutions, az
well as the debate and vote upon them, afford graft
flying evidence that there exists in Missouri not
merely latent sentiment in favor of the ab ,ltion
Of Slavery, bu. a sentiment which those who en-.
terrain it do not fear to syow and one OF so formi-
dable character as TO command respec. as well as
attention. The ex snt to which this sentiment
exsted-snd what is of much more importance,
the exis.erce of courage to avow first came to
light, so far as the Missouri Legislature is con-
cerntd, by the nomination, some weeks since, Of
Mr.. Palm Of 81. Louis as one Of the Directors Of
tie State Balk of Missouri. Mr. Palm was the
nominee ofthe democratic party. and The obj scsion
was instantly raised against him BY the Know
Noihpgs that be was an emancipa.ionist Mr..
PAIN did rot deny the impeachment; but his
Democratic friends were no. thus TO be frightened
out Of their choice. They took the ground that
this question of emancipation YVES an open ons, 30

The Stats z,iupg, which by the way s one Of
the basest among the organs Of Slavery -ex!ensoa
Of which the Democracy" can boast, has le.br
from Washington correspondent which coata'ns
the following paragraph, with reference to the de-
cisiOn of the Supreme Court in the bred Scott
case:
although the Judgment of the Court has rot yet
been made known, I c,o affirm with indisputsble GER
tsiply tbat at recent conferencs of the Judges tho
Missouri Compromise Of 1920 declared TO DO uncon
sti.utional, and the right Of Congress 10 introduce
Slavery into the Territories or TO forbid il, was
denied"
This is very likely to be true, though il appears
in quarter where news is not usually locked for.
Such decision evidently conflicts With the srgu-
ment of Mr.. Gerrit Smith, which We publish
on another page, and to which We invite the par
ticular attention Of our readers. Mr.. Smith con-
tends that nier the Constitution Slavery has nou
legal existence whatever; snd if such is the ca" !,
1t is plain that an express prohibition Of Slavery in
any Territory cannot be contrary TO the Cons' itu-
ton. We are not aware that Mr. Smith il tho ught

The n. 7. Times Of yesterday contain~ Letter
from gentleman who landed at San JUN del Ser
from the Sierra Nevada, then on her way from Pans
ma to San Francisco on the oath of January This
gentleman remained there and at Rivss till the q
inst, when the Orzsba came down from San FraA~
cisco. During this interval, and enjoying also To
advantage Of personal acquaintance With Walker
and bis principal officers to whom be communi-
Gated the frat detailed account Of the capture of tho
Transit stesmers he had the opportunity Of obtao-
ing full knowledge Of Walkers actual situatos.
HIS letter appears to have been written with ca-
dor and Judgment and We doub! not tia. its state
ments are reliable.
It appears from this letter that Walker has sbAn-
doned all hopes Of himself opening comuunica-
ton across the lake, having burned the schooner
which his friends here relied upon his means for
that purpose, to prevent it from falling into tho
hands of the Costa Ricans. Walkers force =
stated in this letter at about eight hundred.
Of whom some two hundred were in tho
hospitals but of these, according to the oPn-
ion of this writer, there were not fifty who would
not be glad to get out Of the country. From tho
fact that Walker before leaving San Juan placed
all his spare arms on board bis war schooner there.
and that the provisions brough! BY the Orizaba
were not landed, we are inclined to think thst
Walker contemplates a speedy embarkston; nor
should We be surprised if the Ofzsbs, on her return
from Panama, took him and his renaininS forces
as passengers for San Francisco. AT the present
moment Rivss is represented as healthy; bat
within six weeks, when the weather changes,
cholera, fevers and dysentery msy be expected to
renew their ravages. Hitherto, the flibustsrs
there, having no hostile force in the neghborhocd,
have been able to help themselves to fresh beef asd
pantaips; but the close vicinity of the Costa
Ricans must now oppose serious obstacles to fora
gipg expeditions. The same circumstance must
also afford facilities for desertiop from which, &C.
cordipg to all accounts the greater part Of Walkers
men are only kept by the fear of being retaken aud
shot. 1t is possible that Walker may linger on for
two or three months longer. We should not be
surprised, however if the next arrival from Central
America brought news of his destruction.

tics, were contradictory to the common Law Of
England, always binding, BY way Of restriction, on
the Virginia Colonial Assembly, and specifically
adopted by the State Constitution, a. the law Of
Virginia and contradictory no less to that
Declaration of Right" specially set forth a. the
"bssis and foundation" on which the governue
Of the State Of Virginia was erected.
The Convention that framed that Government
was very far from conferrDg or from claiming any
power to confer on any body, any authority TO
reduce any body to q condition OF slavery unless
for the punishment Of crime. The State Covert
ment of Virgins, so far IS we are aware, has
never yet set up any pretsnsion to the possession
Of sny such power. 1t has never attempted to do
anything more than to recognize the legal basis,
such as il WIS, upon which Slavery rested
prior to the Revolution. That basis, a. va have
shown was, in legal point Of visw, nothing at all.
Tie colonial Slavery Of Virginia was mere usage
not only without law but against Law. The State
Slavery of Virginia is DO better; it is ausurpstiou
in direct defiance of the Declaration of Rights
upon which the Constitution Of Virginia is based,
with as much legality 10 il as belongs to those
Lynch law outrages with which, in Virginia a.
elsewh here, it il customarily defended.
Nor is this mere speculation. 1t was precisely
in view o. Declaration of rights substantially the
same with that Of Virginia, that Slavery was held
by the Supreme Court Of Massachusetts, to be ab,.
ish.d in that State. The Court of Appeals in Viz
GINA has pever yet been called upon to face this
question. Can it be sad that the Massachusetts,
decision was not reasonable and just Ought is to
be presumed that the Virginia Court Of Appeals
if free from the terror of Lynch-law-would mako
any other
