Slavery the Supreme Law-State Sow.

Step by step, the Black Democracy
are preparing to subjugate this country
TO the sway Of African barbarism. Ii is
scarcely three months since the President
startled all sober men with the announce
ment hat the Constitution carries Slave
ry into all the Territories of the Union;
and nov his pensioned organ. Washing
ion Union, SPEAKING DOUBTLESS By AU-
THoRIrY, HAS THE AUDAcITY TO ASSERT.
THAT NOT EVEN STATE SOVE.
REIGNTY is A BARRIER TO THE
BLACK AND BLIGHTING CURSEl
Who could have dreamed, FIVE or seven
years ago, tina. the official organ of any
Administration would have DARED
SUCH AN INSULT TO TIE SOVE.
REIGNTY OF THE STATES AND
THE RIGHTS OF THE PEOPLE?
We could scarcely credit our senses
when we read the following passages in
The Washington Union of Tuesday last:
1.-The Constitution declares that the
citizens Of each S ate shall lie entitled
to all the privileges and immunities oil
citizens of the several States. Every
citizens Of n State coming into another
State has, therefore a right to the protec
ton of lis person. and that property
which is recognized as such BY The Con
slitution of the United States, any law
Of a Stale TO the contrary notwiIhstand
ing. So far from any Safe having a
right TO deprive him of his property, ii
is its boundeu duty TO protect him in its
possession.
elf these views are correct-and we
believe it would be difficult to invalidate
them-it JoHous that all State lows,
schetker organic or otherwise which prohI
IL a citizen of the State from settling in
another, and bringing his SLAVE property
,rih Inn. and most especially declaring il
forte ted, are di'ect viOiations of the orig
iAGl intention Of q Goverment which, as
before stated, is the protection of person
and property, and of the Constitution OF
the United States, which recognizes
property in slaves; and declares that the
citizens of each State shall be entitled to
all the privileges and immuniiies of ciii-
zens of the several States among the
mcst essential of Which i; the protection
OF person and property"
Following this latest expression of
Black Democracy, which very far tran
sends the creed of Calhoun, or OF his
South Carolina disciples Of the present
day, the editor labcrs. in an article of
two columns and a half. to gid the nau-
seous pill. The laboled length of this
jesui,ical editorial, brimful as it is Of the
rankest toryism and "moral treason"
demonstrates it to be an indirect emana-
from the President and Cabinet: and we
shall net be in the least surprized if it
turns cut to be a foreshadowing Of the
Message. The partial endorsement of
the SIlliman letter by the Northern peo-
pie, TO be inferred from the result OF the
late elections. has emboldened the Pres
ident to take another step forward in the
work Of Africanizing the continent.
This step would never have been ven-
tured upon. if the States of New York
and Ohio had rolled up. as they might
have done. their accustomed Republican
or Anti Nebraska majorities. This insult
to the free States is justly traceable to
the culpsble supineness of The pr, fessed
Of despotism, who have either
neglected 10 vote, or omitted eIerci ing
all the weight of their influence at the
late elections.
