The Status Of the Slave.

Judge fancy, in trial recently held in
the u. $. District Court. ut Richmond. Vir-
gina. enumerated an entirely new constrrc-
ton Of the Constitution, as applicable to
the condition Of slave property. A slave
woman. Amy, had hcen convicted Tor steal
ing letter containing valuable articles.
A motion was made for a new trial and
this motion was sustained by the plea thai
she being slave was merely property. and
could not be held accountable Tor her actions.
The courts could no, deprive her Of liberty.
because the act would wrong her master,
who was innoccn, and damages could nci
b. enforced. because she had no property
with which to respond
Judge fancy overrulcd this motion, and
stated that though a slave was considered
property by the Constitution, in all State
papers they were designated as persons.
They sustained n two.fold character. lie

the taking Of private property, he thinks
does not apply; but he intimates tina, the
government, is bound in equity to comPcn.
safe her owner for the loss Of her time while
she is imprisoned.
The Missouri Democrat, from which we
derive the above facts, says =" there is no
cxascrration in saying that the rights OF
property are placed in secondary position
by that decision. Another subtleiy is in.
yolyed by It, which will exercise the law.

to be destitute Of property. This di'quali.

mcnt. when he cannot be a plaintiff? We
are rejoiccd 10 find that the basis OF the bred
Scott decision. and the political theories
erected upon t.are shaken by no less per-
sonage than Judge fancy himself. The as.

Of Congress to subordinate the rights Of

Hartford Convention Federalism Of Blu

james Buchanan started his political ca.
reer federalis,. lie was the reyiler Of
Madison and other distinguished republic
cans OF his day. lie had then and now has
the rank. ultra federalism Of old John Ad.
ans ,withou; his patriotism to go with il. In
looking over his Administration, any one
can readily see the analogy between the
leading measures urged by the elder Adams
and Buchanan. The great overshadowing
idea Of John Adams and the federallsis Of
his day, was a siIoTg government: in other
words the concentration Of power in the
hands al the executive. Hamilton, in the
convention which formed the constitution,
proposed Pre.iden, for lie; and other fea-
lures tending to make the government a
great central power. The federalists desir-
ell uniIn Of the States upon such terms as
would take from them all efectual rights,
and consolidate the power in the general
government. These two leading ideas were
urged and advocated by the federalists Of
John Adams day.-frst, a union which
would rob the States OF all reserved rights,
and second. concentration OF the powers Of
the government in the executive. How
stands Buchanan upon those two questionsl
When compared with the early federalis!s,
