THE CONDITION OF SLAVES UNDER
THE CONSTITUTION.

Judge fancy has recently made decision
in regard to slaves, not altogether consistent
with his bred Sect opinion In that case he
said
The only two provisions Tin the Federal
Constitution which point 10 them, and include
them, (meaning slaves treat them as prop
erty, and make 1t the duty Of the Governme nt
to protect 1t; no other power in relation to this
race Is found IN the Constitution and as it is
a Government OF special delegated powers. no
authority beyond those two provisions can be
constimtionally exercised The Government
of the United States has no right to interfere
for any other purpose but of protecting the
rights of the owner, leaving ii altogether with
the several States to deal with this race. whether
emancpated or not, as each State NAV think
Justice, humanity and the interests and safety
of society, may require
In the case of the slave Amy, decided few
days since, at Richmond, Chief Justice fancy
has furnished a written decision, in which he
asserts the following legal principles touching
the institution of Slavery in the United States
81. That slaves are recognised by the Con
stitution Of the United States in the character
Of persons.
~. That slaves are represented in Congress
as persons.
" 3. That as persons they are, in many in
stances at least, subject to certain liabilities,
and invested with the rights corresponding to
those liabilities, III the same way that other
persons are.

difficult as to serve God and Mammon.' To
serve Federalism, Whiggeryism, and Know
Nothingism, was not incompatible with serving
the Union Neither one:nor another of those
parties had reasonable Interior aims. But far
different is the case with Black Republicanism,
as is explicitly indicated in its platform. No
official incumbent can be- true to its principles
and true to the Constitution at the same time.
1t is imperative, in our opinion, upon those who
have been intrusted with the National Admin
istration, to act upon the principle, as concerns
appointments and employees, in view of the
fiery ordeal through whic.l the Union will have
to pass in little more than Il twelvemonth,
that 'he who is not for us is against u.s.

FUNERAL OF DIR. BAILEY.

The remains of DIR. Bailey were brought from
Europe on board the Vanderbilt, in charge of
us eldest sou, Marcellus. They arrived in this
tty on Monday morning, and we're inferred in
lse Congressional burying ground, with appro-
Isriate and feeling ceremonies, from Trinity
Sehurch, on Tuesday. The Rev. DR.. Butler,
re Pastor of the Church, delivered an eloquent
+ neral sermon, and was assisted by the Rev.
Ernest in reading the services appropriate
: the occasion.

schools, colleges, &C.; build up towns and
cities, railroads, and other public improve
ments, and thus inaugurate system which
would at once prove an incalculable blessing
to the poor Indian, as well as of vast import
ance to the development of the Western en-
pire. =,
She thinks that sensible young men would
prefer this missionary service TO the army;
where many years Of the best part of their lives
are wasted in celibacy, thraldom, privatlons, and
hardships; and that Government would be the
gamer by transferring what would be the ex-
penses of a military establishment to her host
of missionaries. The dear girl is right in the
main. She is philosophic and patriotic aud If
all daughters of Indian blood were as pretty,
attractive, and charming, as she is, they would
find no difficulty in procuring husbands frour
the very heart of civilization.
Before this country advances much beyond:
its present stand point, some new system Will
have TO be inaugurated. There must be more
liberal admixture of the white race with the
population. Laws making amalgamation a,
condition on all those who come among them;
should be abolished, and the white man left to
his choice to marry dusky daughter OF the
nation, or one of his own race. Free labor
must supersede slave labor, before the lower
class can ever hope to rise above their present
forlorn and inferior position.
But have probably said enough in this al,
ready too long communication. The second
squadron of the first cavalry, under command
of Captain L. D. Wood, leaves here tomorrow
for four months campaign against the Ca
manches Apaches, Cheyennesy or any other
hostile Indians who may feel disposed to OBJ
struct the passage, or in anywise interfere with
persons passing over Lieutenant Beale's over
land emigraut route. Aud as | shall accom-
pany the command, have not time to re-write
and revise my communication, but send you

as has been done by the Administration OF Mr.
Buchanan.
The foreign-boru citizens ofthe United States,
we trust will now open their eyes. We have
long urged upon them the incongruity OF their
position as supporters of Slavery, and the deg
radiation into which they are brought is but
veri6cation of our assertions.
That we have not tortured the language OF
General Cass, in order to show that he places
naturalized citizens on par with fugitive
slaves, we quote the following vindieatien OF
the ADMINISTRATORS position from the Wash
ington States, Jealous champion of Democ-
racy and Slavery. The States says

GINA WOULD SURRENDER HER EXISTENCE BEFORE
SHE WOULD SURRENDER HIM. THE CASES
ARE IDENTICAL"
So says the Washington States, paper thor
oughly devoted to the Democratic" party and
to Slavery.
The doctrine that man cannot change his
allegiance cannot be defended on grounds of
right, reason, and Justice. Its friends do well
to abandon the field of ethics, and resort to
brute force. 1t is identical in principle with
Slavery and with Despotism.
The right of expatriation is natural right
Governments cannot forbid it without assuming
that their subjects are slaves. For if Govern
ments may say that their subjects are bound to
remain subjects until they perform military
duty for seven years, as is the law, we believe,
in most European countries, they may say for
twenty years, or for life. They may put them to
the construction of FORTS bridges roads, and other
works, and keep them thus employed for life
at wages which will barely support existence
Seven years service is as arbitrary a require
ment as twenty or fifty years.
Can any rational man pretend that subjects
O,ce this degree Of service to their native coun
tries? How do they owe it? For what do
they owe it For existence? That they owe
to their parents. For being reared on the soil
That, too, they owe to their parents, who all the
while were paying heavy taxes or bearing arms
in the service of their country So long as the
subject remains a subject, his duty binds him
to defend his country But when he chooses
to leave, not being at the time in service, he
has natural right to do so, and he may, with
out infringing upon any mans or upon the ma
TONS rights, expatriate himself To forbid
him is to make a slave of him. And having
sworn allegiance to and settled in another coun-
try, he ceases to owe any sort of allegiance to
his native country. 1t is impossible to contro-
vert this doctrine without admitting the right
of Governments to make slaves of their sub
jects.

1t is admitted now, we understand, that there
are the finest crops of wheat, rye, and oats, in
Virginia, generally, this year, that have been
seen for several years past. The prospect for
corn, also, at this time is good-but, of course,
much will depend upon the weather in July and

The practice Of taking any Kind Of bail for
criminals arrested for outrages and disorders
is justly and strongly commented on in the
Baltimore Patriot. Magistrates, in times like
these, should always see that the bail is good
and sufficient beyond doubt--so that the pen,
alJy can be enforced. These diSturbers of the
peace ought To have no loopholes for escape.

ST, Louis, April 25.-Tne overland Califor-
mia mail of April arrived to-day, having
made the trip in twenty-one days, eight hours,
the Quickest trip yet
Advices from Utah represent affairs in that
territory worse than they have ever been,
either before or since the arrival of the army
there.
The i'll feeling had reached its eliminating
point, and the people were on the eve of hostil-
tiles Differences also exist between Gov.
Cumming and Gen Johnston, touching their
respective powers, and there is Likewise an
open rupture between the executive and iu-
dietary. The Federal Courts find it impossi-
BILE to exercise their functions. The Grand
jury refuse to find bills, and are using every
other means to screen parties accused Of muir
der and other crimes.
Judge Cradlebaugh had discharged the jury
and had been compelled, also, to discharge all
the prisoners in custody. On the occasion of
the discharge of the jures, the Judge charged
the Mormons with having obstructcd the of
fcers of the Court suppressed testimony, and
refused to make provisions for the confinement
and maintenance of prisoners,
Owing to the excited state of the popular
feeling, detachment of one thousand troops
had moved from Camp Floyd and encamped
near Provo.
Gov Cumming had issued a proclamation,
taking part with Mormon sentiment. 1t is not
stated whether he had demanded the with
drawal of the troops from Provo but his &C
tions had laid him open to the charge Of com
plicity with the Mormon theocracy.
Much bad feeling also existed between the
MOrmons and the United States troops, though
those Of the latter who are stationed at Prove
had behaved with remarkable forbearance. A
collision, however, between the two parties
was considered imminent

The Mormon Trnnhlas.

ST. Louis, April pa series of letters,
published in the Salt Lake Valley Times, Civ
ing the proceedings Of Judge Cardlebough's
court at Provo, explain to some extent the
difficulties and disturbances in that territory
The misunderstanding between Gov. Cum
ming and Gen. Johnston seems to have grown
out OF the refusal of the latter to Withdraw the
troops from Provo, who had been sent there
under a requsition of the court to protect wifi
nesses, Judge Cardlebough passed severe
structures on Gov. Cummings proclamation,
which has not been received here, characterz-
ing it as Informal, as evidently designed to ex-
aspeTate the people against the troops, to OBJ
struct the court Of justice, and excite insubor-
dination in the army, The Judge also says
that, instead of the troops tending to terri
fly the inhabitants and to intimidate Witnesses
the jurors and parties testifying in behal of
the prosecution have been compelled TO seek
the protection of the troops against the threats
and intimidations of the very inhabitants said
to be terrified.
Judge Cardlebough, who was sitting merely
as a committing magistrate, would go TO
Camp Floyd the following week to continue
the investigations that the testimony elected,
duplicating several bishops and priests, civil
authorities of the territory, in murders at vari-
GUS times, all of whom had fled to escape ar
rest. -Four grand jurors discharged by Car
dlebough had also fled.
Cedar City and several other towns in the
vicinity of the Mountain Meadows massacre
are most depopulated. 1t is also stated that
the Indians, about one thousand strong, head
ed by white men, had mustered in that neigh
borhood, and expressed determination to pre-
vent the arrest Of any one in that section.
Judge Cardlebough denies that the grand
jury protested against their discharge, as sta
ted by the Deseret News.

THE SICKLES TRIAL-Twentieth Day.
TRIAL ENDED.
S c k l e IA cqui t d.

WASHINGTON, April 26--There is general
feeling of relief manifested this morning by the
court, jury, counsel, spectators and indeed by
all concerned at the prospect of arriving to-day
at a termination Of this protracted case 1t is
expected that if the rulings of Judge Crawford
on the instructions prayed for but not very adj
verse to the prisoners cause, will be submitted
to the jury without further summing up in
which event verdict will probably be return
ed at this twentieth day of the trial.
Mr.. Ould concluded his speech at half past
one.
The Court granted the instructions prayed
for by the prosecution and admitted some and
refused others of the prayers of the defence
The strictest attention was paid to this part of
the proceedings. The defence renewed the
proposition to submit the case without argu-
ment. The District Attorney concurred entire
ly in the proposition. The jury retired at 10
minutes before 2 o'clock and returned about
O'Clock and rendered a verdict of not guilty.
The announcement was received by the au-
dience with cheers.
