The Righ. of slave Transit in new

York. =
The follow ing memorial signed by some
twelve hundred merchants and firms of New
York city, has been presented to the New
York Legislature. Many of the signers, it is
stated, have heretofore acted with the Re-
publican party. 1t was referred to the Judi
ciary Committee of the New York Senate,
who, it is supposed, will be adverse to ma
king report but the friends of the measure
will introduce bill which will test the
question The law which is referred to in the
memorial existed in that State until 1871,
when it was repealed
To the Legislature of the STATE Of Near York =
The undersigned. citizens of New York
city, respectfully represent to your hOnora-
BILE body, that whereas an act formerly exist
ed in this State which allowed our brethren
| of the so-called slave States to visit us,
whether upon business or pleasure, accompa-
| MED with their negro servants, or so called
slaves and remain with us for the period of
| nine months; and whereas the repeal OF said
| law is believed by your memoriaEsts to be
| contrary to the dictates of comfy and good
| fellowship, and that it also in effect prohibits
many citizens and families of the South from
visiting their friends and relatives in the
North; and as no good reason, in the opinion
| of your memorialists, exists why this LAW
should ever have been repealed, they there
fore respectfully ask of your honorab le body
| the passage of law which shall guarantee
| to Southern men the right TO stay in this
State unmolested with their negro 'slaves
for period of at least nine months.

New YORK, Feb. 20.-The following i'm
portant ayowal of Lord PalmerstOn is con-
tanned in the latest London papers:
A deputatiOn from Liverpool, Bristol, Man
chester. Leeds, Hull, Belfast and Glocester,
on the proposed exemption of private pro
perty from capture at sea in time of war,
had an interview with ViscOunt PalmerstOn
on the evening of the Sd of February. Lord
Palmcrston said that he would not fatter
the deputatiOn by protesting 10 agree with
them. He considered that the very existence
of the country depended on its possessing
the command of the seas, and it was neces-
sary for that object to retain the power of
sezing ships, especially the seamen naviga-
ting ships of foreign powers. War was an
enormous evil, but still it was sometimes
necessary to go to war in seli-defense and
naval power like England ought not to sur
render any means of weakening her enc
mics at sea. If we did not seize their sea-
men on board their merchant vessels, we
should have to fight them on board their
ships of war. He denied that private pro-
perty was spared in war on land any more
than in war at sea. On the contrary. armies
in an enemy's country took whatever they
wanted or desired, without the slightest re-
gard TO the rights of property. as we should
iud 10 our cost if hostile army should ever
succeed in landing in this country.

Hv Dear SRI received your very kind
letter addressed to me at Washington by due
course of mail, but from various causes, have
delayed answering until now. 1t would af
ford me very great pleasure to be present at
the Convention of the 22nd, to aid in any
manner in my power in organizing our forces
for the approaching momenteus conflict.
which is to be, unquestiOnably, one of the
most interesting and important that has been
fought since the formation of the federal
compact. But the urgent nature of private
pressing business will deprive me of that
privilege and pleasure. Two months and a
half of personal observation of the condition
of our national affairs at the Capital, has
impressed me profoundly with sense of the
danger that threatens the peace of the country
and the very integrity of our government.
Six years ago, / witnessed with unutterable
loatbing. the rape committed by the demo-
acy upon the almost defunct carcass of
AbolitiOnism, and / witnessed also, the re-
suit of that unhOly and most violent COTTON
in the unIimely birth of that sectional
''monstrosity," which to-day, like hidious
giant bestrides the continent from Maine TO
Oregon, in the shape of the Republican or
gsnization. Twas like.tbe birth OF Minerva.
full grown and armed, ''cap-a-pie." from
the gOOd-like brow of JOve. Democracy
is the Government, and the Union
shall die when democracy goes down. is the
battle-cry of she parent Slavery agitation to
your hearts cOntent-dOwn with the peculiar
institution is the rallying shout OF the child
The conflict between these two malignant
and belligerent factions is begun, and already
rank treason bowls her preparation note in
the House, and thunders in the Senate, and
the wrath-blinded Sampson, Democracy in
the agony of his dying throe, grappies the
pillars of the Union, and desperately swears
TO shatter the fair fabric from turret TO fOun-
datiOn stone. But thauk God, the same ma
tional, conservative, union spirit that bore
our fathers safely through the storms and fire
and carnage Of the Revolutionary struggle,
still animates, trust and believe, the hearts
of the millions. and the great heart of the ma
ton still beats time TO the music of the union,
and the great people of the nation, under the
lead of some great, good, national statesman,
like our gallant and gifted BELL, will once
more grid themselves to the rescue, hurl the
Cataliues from the Capitol, drive the Vandals
from the gates of Rome, and re-write in let
tiers indellible all over the dome of the Capt.
tol, and upon the national archives. and on
the banner of our nation the PATRIOTS motto:
Liberty and Union, now and forever, one
and inseparab!e-"
Present my regards to the Convention, and
say for me that / am with them in spirit. and
am ready once more to strike with them for
the Constitution and the Union, for God and
Our Native Land.

Mr.. STOKES SPEECH.-The people of Ten
nessee have just cause of pride in the pres
ence of JORDAN STOKES in our State Senate.
His speech yesterday, in opposition TO the bill
which passed the House of Representatives
some time since. for the expulsion of free per
sons OF color from this State, was one IF the
most logical and eloquent efforts We ever
heard in any deliberatise body. The Consti-
tulional question involved in the bill before
the Senate, was one of the most lucid and
able arguments ever delivered within the
walls of our magnificent Capitol.
We heartily endorse the above from the
Ntlus Of yesterday. The effort referred To. of
the very able Senator from Wilson county, is
admitted on all hands 10 have been a remark
able specimen of eloquence and logic. Col.
STOKES is, unquestionably, one of the very
ablest men of the State. We are gratifed to
learn that his friends will apply for copy OF
the speech for publication and general circu-
lation.

The Free Negro Hill.

The Senate yesterday adopted u bill offer
ed in lieu of the House bill Tor the expulsion
of free negroes from this State, by DIR.
PETERS, of Hardeman county. We under
stand this to be much more lenient in it, pro-
visions than the House bill. yet stringent
enough to meet and remedy the acknowledge
ed evil of the presence of bad free negroes
and those who are here contrary to law.
This is as it should be. We have never seen
the necessity of the severe measures contained
in the bill which passed the House; and are
gratified that the Senate were induced to
take n more humane view Of the subject DIR.
PETERS has stood up squarely and manfnlly
for wha; be conceived to be right. and is en-
titled to the thanks Of the people OF the
State. We trust those who thought different
ly will be convinced of the propriety of this
bill by its practical operation and effect
