On Saturday evening the Douglas and johnson Asso-
citation Of Washington serenaded MIR. Douglas. The
President of the Association made speech of welcome
and Mr. Douglas responded. In the course of bis Ie-
marks be sad thst to be thus welcomed by those who
knew him no well inspired him with new energies In
lis public efforts. He referred with pride to the fact
that during the past canvass he had been able 10
bis sentiments in all parts Of the cOunryin the North
South, East, and Wet. From Bangor TO Missouri he
had advocated the piindI les Of equal rights, equal
Justice and equal protection TO all citizens. lie be-
leved the perTetuity of The Republic depended upon
tie triumph Of the principle OF nOninteryeniiyn. lie
said tie Federal Government had no power to Inter
fere with Slavery anywhere except in causing the
turn Of fugitive slaves ageeably to the law and Con-
siitution lie held the Fugitive Slave law to be
binding upon all good czens; and If it had been
Iied out in good fsith the Republic would not now be
III peril and danger. Referring to the Hon. A. H. Ste
phenss late speech Judge ID. said he Endorsed every
sentiment il contained ard Inspired him with the hope
that there was party yet strong enough 10 save the
country lie accepted the Georgia ltforn IN all It's
features. The Personal Liberty bills should never
have been on the statute books Of any State. He be-
eved Congress had power to remove all osstructions
to the Fugitive Slave law, whether resulting from State
or any other legislation. Judge ID. remarked lie had
ad nothing during the that did not meet the
approval Of bis conscience. He urged all Union men
al constitutional loving men, to sink their chickering's
and nj tie to save the country first and quarrel il they

according to tie Constitution, he must he inaugurated

The SUNDAY THEATER Law COssrITsrIosAL-h
the case of the People vs. Hoym Hamanu, before Jw
tce Hoffman Of the Supreme Court, the question Of ths
consituonality Of the Sunday Law was raised by Do
murrer and we give brief abstract Of the opinion q
the learned Judge.
After recitng the facts Of the complaint and tho pro
visions of the law Judge Hoffman, refers 70 bis viewS
of tie sancy of the Sabbath expressed in the cass
of Campbell vs. the International Insurance Company,
which he rearms and then enters upon the history d
our Colonial and State Legislation for the protection IL
the Lord Day He traces it from the Conditions II
tbe Burgomasters of Amste rdam in 1856, the laws Of
the Duke Of York in 1864 the Charter Of Lbertisa Of
1888 and the Colonial statute Of 1895, down to The
abortion of the State constitution in mr. and 70 hc
law of l7s8 which formed the basis Of the revsod
statute Of 1913 and $780, He then compares the Con
stuons of l777, 1872 and 1886 and their relation 70
Bills Of Rights and the Common Law of England.
The result Of this historical investigation establishes
beyond doubt that there has never been period n
our legislative history-sincs l777, al least-whea
every provision 10 the enjoyment and right proper
IT, and as to freedom in religious profession found n
the Constitution Of 1916, was not as fully part Of ths
fundamental law of this State il is Theexcep-
ton az to witnesses does not affect the present question.
And thus II the Legislature cannot prohibit rcetrc
and modify the rights Of using property or Sunday,
under the present Constitution, then the statutes of
1883, lsl3 and $780, have been illegal and void he
whole course legislation, then, has been againa shs
organic law, and tie decisions Of Courts have been
violations of citizens rights. Previous legislation, Like
the present. has rested the principle Of good order
and public morality and peace. In all the full enjoy
Of property is restrained and in the old statutes
no distinction is found between casee Of property pos
sessed the passing Of she statute and that subss-
quently acquired; is there q trace Of it in tho
authorities
This view answers every argument deduced from
the Federal Constitution TO the inyosbty OF con-
trsctsno contract being illegally affected If the act bs
regulation founded in public policy Of the Of prop
ery existing or future and it furnishes reply to the
suggestion that the act is void in being confined 70 tho
city of New-York. II the evil local in tho judg
ment of the Legislature the remedy might be N.
Having commented in several authorities in the Re
ports Of California, Kentoeky Pennsylvania, &c. the
oncluson reached that the statute in question WINS
valid and lawful exercise of legislative authority.
