public journals may oppose one extreme OF OPINION

State will adhere to the Just medium. vene-
rating and preserving those principles SO essential to
the reserved rights of the States, which are Illus

thirty years, they will be ever ready and willing TO
make common cause with the neghboring States

domestic savery-an institution which existed when
the American constitution adopted, and was re-
cognized thereby. Let the law of charity prevail in
judging one another In preserving and protecting
the property of fathers in negro slaves, We deem
