the Union with or without slavery, as their
constitution may prescribe at the time Of their
admission"
Mr.. Wilson moved to substitute for il, in
effect declaration "that slavery was contra
ry to natural right the creature of local law
and as such could not constitutionally exist
in the Territories"
nays 80.
Mr.. Clingman moved to amend the resolu-
ton by inserting at the end, provided that
it is not hereby intended to assert at this time
the duty of Congress to provide system ol
laws for the maintenance of slavery"
This question was decided in the negative
Yeas-12; nays-3l.
The question was then taken on the reso-
luton, and decided in the affirmative by the
following vote
Yeas-33; nays II.
The next and last resolution in the series is
the following:
z. Resoguea, That the provision Of the Con
stitution Tor the rendition of fugitives from
service or labor. without the adoption OF which
the Union could not have been formed and
that the laws Of 1898 and 1850, which were
enacted to secure its execution, and the main
features Of which, being similar, bear the inn
press of nearly seventy years Of sanction by
the highest judicial authority, should be hon
estly and faithfully observed and maintained
by all who enjoy the benefits of our compact
of union and that all acts of individuals OF Of
State Legislatures to defeat the purpose CT
nullify the requirements ofthat provision, and
the laws made in pursuance of it, are hostile
in character, subversive of the Constitution,
and revolutionary in their effect.
The question on this resolution was decided
in the affirmative by the following vote:
Yeas-36 nays-6.
The amendment of Mr.. Clingman, having

The SLAVE TRADE IN New YoRK-The
increase of the slave trade, and the fact that
all the vessels engaged therein appear to have
cleared out of the port of New York, begin to
attract attention at Washington and in other
quarters. 1t can hardly be conceived that if
the officers of the law, charged with the duty
of preventing the departure Of all vessels
bound on Illegal errands, did their duty, our
port would not be disgraced as it now is by
being made to rank as the grand depot of the
slave trade. That they have not done their
duty in all cases has been lately proved AMI
that they have neglected their duty for cor
rupt consideration, has been put on record by
the dismissal Of two Deputy United States
Marshals on proved charges to that effect
But We believe that We do not overstate the
matter in announcing that an average OF two
vessels each week clear out of Our harbor
bound for Africa and human cargo and we
have received Information, which We shall
verify and publish as soon as possible, to the
ettect that the price for tue clearance of sla-
yer is as well known to those in the trade as
the price of barrel of pork.
1t is said that certain amount of gold is
placed in a locker in the cabin: the officers
board the ship and commerce search for ma
terials arguing the intention of the vessel to
carry slaves. They search all the lockers es-
pecially, and suddenly find the particular one
in which the gold commonly ranging from
$2500 to $4,000, according to the size Of the
vessels concealed. q. This, the inference be-
ing that it is at least part Of sum designed
to purchase negroes from the King of Duhom-
mey, the officers at once proceed to confiScate;
but falling to find any other evidence of a
slave-trading purpose on board, they merely
remove the treasure and offer no further re-
sistence to the departure of the ship This
was the course SAID to have been followed by
The Deputy United States Marshats--w4fo
rave been dismissed but of course none OF
those still retained could possibly be suspec-
ted of pursuing like course. Let us hope
that Marshal Isaiah Rynders, now that his
ey es have openad viii be more active and
energetic in seeing that his subordinates
more faithfully discharge their duties.-N T.

violations Of the Constitution.


The Hon. William Dennison is the kepuD-
Hcan Governor of Ohio. He was elected ny
the Republican party, and supported on ke-
publican principles. He is true exponent OF
those principles, and bis acts are indorscd oy
the Republican party. He is sincere sup
porter of the Republican candidates, Lincoln
and Hamlin; and that party is responsible for
his acts. The Constitution OF the United
States requires that the States shall surrender
iugitives from justice, when they escape from
one State into another, on the requisition OF
the Governor of the State from which they
escape. Mr.. Dennison swore to observe anu
maintain this Constitution when he took the
oaths of office as Governor of the State OF
Ohio
Three individuals were indicted by Grand
Jury of one Of the counties of Virginia for
participating in and being accessory TO the
murders committed by John Brown Gov
ernor Letcher of Virginia sent requisition
to Governor Dennison to deliver them up
They were citizens % Ohio and were then
within the jurisdiction OF its laws. Governor
Dennison refused to deliver up these fugitives
from justice, that they might be tried for their
crimes at the place where they were commit
ted-and where the blood of their murdered
victims still cried from the ground for ven-
MISUNDERSTANDING he was required so
to do by the Constitution which he had sworn
to support.
The wife of Stephen G. Kennedy of Ten
nessee owned in her own right, and as part of
her separate estate, five negro slaves, who
were the main support Of her wife and child.
Her husband-than whom greater scoun-
drel probably treads not the earth-stole those
nogroes from his wife and child, and also their
jewelry and plate, sold them ir Virginia, and
with the proceeds of the sale fled to Ohio
He was indicted by the Grand Jury of the
county in Tennessee where the theft was COM
mitted, for stealing the negroes. On this,
Governor Harris of Tennessee issued his re-
QUESTION to Governor Dennison of Ohio for
the person of Kennedy. 1t was served by an
officer from Tennessee, and Governor Denni-
son refused to give him up, alleging that tho
laws of Ohio-and the Republican party, he
should have added-did not recognize prop
erty in negro slaves consequently, no theft
had been committed. We state these facts for
the purpose of proving our assertion that the
Republican party are violators of the Consti-
tuition of our country, and we ask if the peo-
ple-the honest people of the eountry-re-
quire any further proof?
