The New York Tribune, of Friday,
contained various official documents in
relation to Hayti and colored emigra.
ton. The first article is circular ssto
the blacks, men of color, and Indians
of the q. States, and British North
American Provinces" signed by Jas.
Redpath, as general agent of Hayti, in
which, in its name, he guarantees to all
persons of the red and black races IN
America, who can prove good char
acter for industry and integrity, seve-
raj important and liberal advantages,
if they see fit to seek home in the Re-
public of which President Geffrard is
the enlightened and patriotic chief.
Among these offers and guarantees
are: A free passage; a free farm:
exemption from military duty; perfect
religious freedom; equal civil and po-
itical rights with Haytians; the am
plest protection; cordial welcome; a
nationality of their own kindred; free
schools, sites for chapels, remunera-

He invites all persons qualified to
become citizens of Haytito correspond
with him, or visit the Haytian Bureau
of emigration in Boston, for the pur-
pose Of obtaining further information
with reference to the country and the
character of the Government.
Mr.. Redpath has opened bureau in
Che Washington Building, (rooms eight
aud nine,) 22I Washington street, Bos-
ton. where the friends of Hayti, and
persons desiring information about it,
may ascertain all the facts in relation
to this important project.
We are informed that the Govern

to make Boston the sole port of ship
meut for the Northern States.
Agents viii Immediately leave for
Cincinnati, Philadelphia, and Southern
Kansas, TO make propositions to the
eolored families, who have recently
been banished from Texas, S. Carroll
ma, and Arkansas, to make their future
homes In Hayti.
Preparations have been made on a
scale large enough to settle 100000
persons as soon as they shall offer.

have to take her back again as a pau
per, therefore the best we can do for
her is to hang her traitors and so make
peace. 1t was in the power of the
Democratic party in 1854 to have made
peace, which would have been lasting,
when S. Arnold Douglas prepared the
bill for the repeal of the Missouri re-
striction, if the North had stood up
like honest men and acted and voted
against it all would have been peace
and harmony, but forty-two northern
doughface Democratic Representa-
tives in Congress voted with the South
and thus carried the measure, and from
that time instead of having peace we
have had continual storm and buster,
and all the good that has grown out of
it is the downfall of a corrupt so-called
Democratic party.

as meaning property. There are five
decisions of the Supreme Court which
bear us ont in this construction, or as
sertion. 1t is evident that the same
language cannot mean persons in one
section and property in another. Such
an idea is palpable absurdity; a
charge of profound ignorance upon the
minds that framed and gave form to
the Constitution.
All this trouble of words has arisen
through the attempt of the Slave power
to debauch the plain language of the
Constitution, and to make it serviceable
to ends it was never intended to per-
form. There has been a growing dis
position in the prevailing political or
ganization of the country to allow this
new rendition to debauch the public
sentiment of the people, and the Su-
preme Court has been the willing tool
to assist in its consumation. This state
OF things has thrown upon the people
the necessity of exercising their re-
served powers, and the States their
State Sovereignty, to prevent their
Constitutions being OVERRIDE, and
Slavery becoming the National instead
of, as formerly and properly, the sub
ject of local law. ~ f5..e,. see5 81.
The edict has gone forth that all the
Northern States must repeal these per-
sonal liberty bills must submit to this
new, novel and unwarranted construc-
ton of the Constitution must allow
the Supreme Court to sweep away
every vestige of State Sovereignty /;
must stultify their Constitutions must
make all their laws subordinate to the
whims, caprices and convenience of
the shareholders, or they will blot out
and destroy every vestige of the Con-
stitution and the Union, which is as
necessary to them as to us. Modest
demand! Sensible men they who Sec
ond and sustain it! Repeal our per-
sonal liberty bills? Never, till the
South return to the observance and
construction of the Constitution as
those who made it construed and OBJ
served it. Never, till the South give
up its insolent and insulting claims to
the supremacy of Slavery over every
other right or privilege pertaining to
the Union of States. Never-until
the unjust, oppressive, tyranical and un-
constitutional Fugitive Slave Law is
modified. Never-until the rights of
free speech liberty and life and the pri-
vileges of citizens, guaranteed by the
Constitution, are allowed to Northern
mem in all the States of the Union.
Neyer-while disloyalty to the Consti-
tuition breaks out at every attempt of
the people Of the North to use the
right of suffrage in proper and con-
stitutional manner. Never-until the
Sonth respects all the compacts she
voluntarily enters into, and give up her
designs to plant and extend slavery into
our Free Territories. Never-until the
Counsels of Humanity, Equality and
Justice enter more largely into the &C.
tons and conscience of the people of
the slaveholding States. When these
things come to pass, personal liberty
bills will become dead letters upon our
Statue Books, otherwise they will never
be blotted out until every instinct of
Liberty has died out of the human
heart, and the Infinite Creator has
ceased to create Free Men,.

This is the sum contributed by the
other States during the year ending
June 80, 1850, for supplying South
Carolina with mail facilities. The to.
tai amount expended there was $780,
06s 10, and entire receipts were but
S107, $50 IL. We see that for every
dollar paid by the people of that State,
nearly two dollars were contributed by
the others. In other words, every let
ter delivered in.that State cost nine
cents, of which the one receiving ii
paid three and the government six
cents. And yet one of the first means
resorted to by the South Carolinians
to drive the other States to terms, con-
sists of threats Of Post Masters there
to resign.
Secessionism has shown itself mainly
in South Carolina, Mississippi, Geor-
gia, Florida, and Alabama. The fol-
lowing will show the Post Office, re-
ceipts and expenditures in those States
during the year ending June 80, 1859:

prisonment in State Prison for five
years, for forcibly seizing or causing to
be seized, any free person, with intent
to have such person held in slavery.
So, Requires two witnesses to prove
any person to be slave.
This is correct abstract of the law,
and gives faithfully it's whole spirit and
intent. And is there anything that a
free man of free State should com
plain of? Itsimply requires that before
a person, claimed as fugitive, be re-
manded to slavery, the claimant shall
prove before jury that he is a slave.
1t throws the whole burden of proof
upon the Stakeholder, and relieves the
State from all agency or responsibility
in the matter. She occupies neutral
position in slave hunting.
But the claim is now set up that
slaves are not persons, and the bred
Scott case is cited to show and uphold
this reasoning. A close examination
of the Constitution 10 all that is neces-
sary to overthrow that whole structure.
Every provision of the Constitution
which bears at all upon the question or
fact of slavery, treats them as persons.
The clause allowing /" three-ffths of all
other persons" as basis of represcn-
tation relative to the emigration or
importation of certain persons; '1-e1a-

world says, DO approve OF him. Well. hs is
your eldest born: you ought to acknowledge
him. He is the natural product of tue thougnt
of the North seeking vent somewhere. The

Who can mistake the meaning of this. But
to prevent the possibility Of mistake. Mr.. Phil.

six months, the great organ hymn of insarrec

adds, that the Anti Slavery Society has given

the veto of fate" the slave States will "begin
to believe that the beginning Of the ead has
come" and if they leave the Union, it will only
be "tbe devil going out Of Paradise"
1t is very evident that the breaking up of the
Union is the real aim and object Of the anti.
slavery party, and that nothing could so disap.
point them as the settlement of the slavery
question. They have recently announced sub
scriptions from England to aid in that cause,
and Fred Douglass is now collecting more. 1t

tocracy who accompanied him to Kansas, op-
posed the settlement Of the troubles in the Ter
ritory, because they hoped that those troubles
would lead to dissolution of the Union.
And William H. Seward, the manifest choice
of the republicans of this State is the candidate
of the anti slavery party of Massachusetts,, and
he will, undoubtedly, be the choice of the as
sembled republican delegates of the North at
the Chicago Convention in June. His success
in November next would be the signal for the
dismemberment Of the confederation, and wide.
spread ruin and civil war would be the inevi.
table results. To prevent that catastrophe the
conservative elements of the whole country
ought to rally under one organization and in
spired by the battle cry of "the Union and the

flag, with its deaths head and crossbones from
the masthead of the pirate ship to which it is
nailed.

Mr. SEWARD NUMBERING Hrs GuNs.-We sea
that the Senator from New York has intro
duced bill for the admission of Kansas as a
State, and that day has been assigned when
he will speak to that question. It is more than
probable that Mr.. Seward will take this op-
portunity to improve bis position before the
country, by attempting to smooth over the
theories promulgated in his irrepressible con-
fict speech He will endeavor very likely, by a
recital of the history of Kansas, to draw out
some Of the democratic Senators and open a
general debate upon that question, which ia
only side issue, and dead one at that.
There should be no debate on the Kansas CUES
ton. If the democratic Senators and Repre-
sentatives are wise they will let tho bill pass
quietly, and say nothing about it. The rea,
issue before the country, and the only vital
question that is to be met during the nert
election, is that as to the abolition of slavery
altogether, according to the, republican plat.
form as laid down in the Helper Book and in
Stewards bloody and brutal Rochester mani
festo The contest must be kept fairly on that
