a case is now pending in the New York
Court of Appeals the ultimate decision of which
is fraught with momentous consequences TO all
the citizens of the free States. The great qucs-
ton to be determined is whether or not slave
holders have the right under the Constitution
of the United States to carry their slaves into
any State Of the Union and there hold them as
such, despite the local law. This cause oiigi.
mated as follows
In November 1850 one Jonathan Lennon
Of Virginia, brought eight slaves to New York
City intending to take passage with them to
Texas. During his stay in New York these
slaves were brought by writ of of habeas co,-
pas before a Judge of the Superior Court of
that City; and after full hearing it appearing
that these negroes having been brought by their
master into the State Of New York Of his own
free will, and therefore not fugityes from SER
vice, they were adiudged to be ireemcn and
were accordingly set at liberty. 1t may here
be proper to remark that Mr. Lennon was paid
negroes
Slavery was not satisfied with this decision.
The State of Virginia interlcrcd in the case. with
view, ultimately, Of bringing it before the Su-
preme Court of the United States. According
ly it was appealed to the Supreme Court of New
York, where Judge iaine's decision in the court
below was affirmed. In 1857 that decision was
appealed to the Court of Appeals. where it was
argued last week by Charles O'Connor for Mr.
Lennon nominally,-but really for the State
Of Virginia, by VIM. NJ Evarts fox the
State of New York. Mr. O'Connor's argument
was bold defence of slavery as a natural and
indeieasable right, of which the STAKEHOLDER can
not be deprived by adverse legislation. Nj
Evarts made a mastery effort which was unan-
swered because it was unansworabc.
The decision of the Court of Appeals has moi
yet been announced, but we have no difficult,
in experimenting that it will sustain the decis
ions already made in the lower courts. If Thu
be SO the case will th4n be taken to the Su
preme Court of the United States.
If passed upon by the highest tribunal in tn,
country there can be but little doubt as to tn,
ultimate decision of the case. The dicta OF thu
Supreme Court in the bred Scott case has fore
Swallowed the result. If the Court hold as tn
President contends they have already done, tina
Shareholders have the right to carry their prop
! crty into all the territories of the Uniou an,
that this right is above and superior to terrific
rial legislation, we do not see how they can es
cape the conclusion that the right to carry slave
into the free States and there hold them in de
fiance of local law is correlatiyc, and must b
sustained. IF these things shall be 50 Their
will be no further legal obstacle to prevent o
hinder Senator Toombs nor any other slave
holder from calling the roll Of his chattel
under the shadow of Bunker Hill That an
such decision will be acquiesced in by the fire
States of the North we are not yet prepared t
believe.

stove which, or rather the tiles of which it was
made, were brought from Gottenburg, Sweden,
by Capt. Flitner of Piltston, some years ago
and set up in his house according to the draft
and direction there given him. The Swedes say
that one cord of hard wood is sufficient. with
this stove to warm room 20 feet square, thro'
their long winter Of eight mounths. Capt. +.
assured us that cords Of such wood as he burns,
hard and soft and some Of it considerably de-
cayed is sufficient to warm two rooms of ordi,
nary size through the winter This stove, in
place of wearing sombre and disagreeable as

and healthy, and lodges no dust on the furni-

of Newport were the leading spirits of the
meeting, Mr. Crandall being president; and 1t
nominated Col William Sprague of Providence
for governor, and Isaac Saunders of Sciuatr
for lieutenant governor in place of Seth Pad
dolford and stephen y. Mason, the regular re-
publican nominees. For the other officers, sec
rotary of state, treasurer, and attorney general,
no new nominations were made. The Proyi-
dcnce journal reports that the democrats viii
unite with these republican boilers on their
candidate for governor; but this will not suffice
TO rescue him and his friends from an nglorious
defeat.
