THE NAP OEE,

Everybody has heard of TIC gentleman who
waited upon Mr.. N ,DrOe, after his Inauguration,
to beg for an Office. He started with a claim for
o seat in the Cabinet, and slid down gradually, his
demands growing "small by degrees, aud beauti-
fdly less" till at last even the bumblest clerk
ship in any of the Departments was asked for, aud
refused him. Disappointed, but not discouraged,
he was determined rot to be alt gether baked Of
the object of his visit; So he was about to make
his bow 10 the President, he limited, as his last re-
source, that if his Excellency had en- old pair of
of breeches he was willing to bestOw upon him,
they would be received with gratitude.
We publish in another column the last final cir
cular of the Dry Goods Committee, and its terms

In commenting upon Mr. BIadys B!Dghamton
speech. we took occasion to remark, that It was
hopeless for bim and bis Brectinridge supPorte 3
TO expect to preser,e the Union by bringing the
Free.LaboI States TO accept the tOctriGe that
property in men stands On the same foundation
with property in horses. To this Mr.. Brady 70.
pies IN his Cooper Institute speech, that he held
that same opinion IS long ago as lol7, aud on the
strength Of it, 10 Democratic Convention which
met that year in Syl acuse mtved to 10y on the
table resolution in favor of the Wilmot Proviso.
This historical "reminiscences may 90 to STOW Mr..
Biidy's personal consistency, and to help HIM Ia
bis caLyass for votes; but We fail to perceive
that it shakes in apy degree our state
ment as to the opinion of the North.
High as the authority of Mr.. Brady may DO on
questions of law aid morals, ard consistent as he
nay have ttep, his opinion will hardly out
weigh the general concurrence Of the many Illus
tr,ous JaIsts aud the numerous Courts which, IN
the Slave az well the Free States, have uninter
rpptedly held the contrary doctrne-tbe doctrine,
to wit, ibat property in slaves hss 70 pa.i5 in ma
tural right but needs tie supp0t of positive law to
sustain it. Indeed, Mr. Brady himself seems TO
have scme doubts whether even in the Slave States,
the es al position of slave is precisely that OF
horse. In subsequent psri of his speech, IN ar.
gUDg tie obligation OF Ohio to surrender iugitives,
from the Law of Kentucky u ahing 1t felony to
assist slaves to escape he likens the condition OF
slave to that of an apprentice. His attempt, how.
ever to argue on the strength of this resemblance,
that because runaway spprsntices-sPprenticesh
being condition recognized by the common law
snd sanctioned by the laws of ali the States
are to be surrendered up under specific provision
to that effect, therei're Ohio must deliver Up as
felou a man guilty of noting which the Jaw OF
Ohio prohibits or punishes merely because Ken
tuck, chooses to declare that act felony-tbis
course of reasC1ilg s, if he will allow us to say
so, miserable sequitur
Upon most important part Of our criticism upon
his Bnf ham;on speech, Mr. Brady has nothing to
cay. He passes By in silence our statement, that
upon his ow showing, the present controversy be-
iseen the North AMI the South, grow not out Of
any attempt TO drive Slavery from the South, but
out OF the contrary attempt to extend it toto the
North Mr. Brady, on hehalf Of lis Southern
clients sets up the doctrine that slaves, made so
BY the law of Virginia, or any othor Slave State,
BE property everywhere in the Union, and every
where entitled to be treated as such. It will be
good bile, are inclined to think, before he can
be elected Governor of New York on that basis.
