TRADE AED COMMERCE REyIvINd.-
We are sanguine that better times are
just little ahead of the present.
Trade seems to be resuscitating. The
Ohio River is alive with boats, laden
to the guards, with produce for the
east. An immense amount of freight
is now being transported to market
and it must bring something back.

Sir, oppose this measure, and protest against
it, because it contains this anti Republican fea-

place in any Constitution, that the "rght of prop

Slavery, in other Constitutions and in legis-

an exlsung institution; but never before, to my
knowledge, has the attempt been made, by ex-
press terms In written Constitution, to put
property in man upon the same ground of natu-

Sir, this doctrine is ant-republican--a gross
libel upon the common law, and upon the pro-
gress, philanthropy, civilization and spirit of the
age In which we live. Il is wanton departure
from the early faith of the fathers of the Republic
on the question of Slsvery, and will be stigma and

Sir, it is said by the gentleman from Georgia,
Mr. HILL, who in q very calm and moderate
manner has advocated this measure, that, in
opposing it, not one word should have been said

Slavery in connection with it.
