Henry Clay on the Declaration Of
Independence.

In speech son Slavery and Abo-
lition," delivered at Richmond, Indi.
ana, October l, 1S42, [see Life and
Speeches of Henry Clay, by Mallory,
vol. II, p, 597,l Henry Clay said:
That Declaration, whatever may be
the extent of its import, was made by
the delegations Of the thirteen States.
In most of them slavery existed, and
had long existed, and was established
by law. 1t was introduced and forced
upon the colonies by the paramount
law Of England. Do you believe that
in making that Declaration, the States
that cohcurred in it intended that it
should be tortured into virtual eman-
cipation Of all the slaves within their
respective limits9 Would Virginia
and the other Southern States have
ever united in a dec 'aration which was
to be interpreted into an abolition of
slavery among them3 Did any one
Of the thirteen States entertain such a
design or expectations 10 impute
such a secret and unaYowed purpose
would be to charge a political fraud
upon the noblest band Of patriots that
ever assembled in council; a fraud
upon the confedoracy of the revolu.
tiOn; fraud upon the Union of those
States whose constitution not only
recognized the lawfulness of slavery,
but permitted the importation Of
slhve8 from Africa until 1908. And
| am bold to say, that if the doctrines
ofultra political abolitionists had been
seriously promulgated at the epoch of
our Revolution, our glorious indepen-
dence would never have been achieved

Normal Condition OF the Terrific
Tyofth United States.

The declarations of the Chicago
Convention upon the slavery issue are
predicated upon assumed and false
statements. If the premises are erro-
neous, the theories therefrom cannot
be just or correct. This is especially
tue case with the declaration in the
Republican Platform, chat freedom is
or has been the normal condition Of
the territory of the federal govern
ment. The New York EgpTess, in
alluding to this feature of the plat
form, remarks that the Republicans,
or AbOlitionists, at times arc very
hard to comprehend, and generally
they falsify our political history in the
most extraordinary manner. The
substance of their Chicago platform is
the same as that of Philadelphia, and
has the same falsiticatons in it,
Thus we are told:
"That the normal condition of all
the Territory of the United States is
that OF freedom"
On tho contrary, the normal condi-
ton of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and
Michigan, all the North, West, was
slave. They were all slave,holding.
territories, and only and especially
made free by a compact ordinance Of
the old confederation, adopted by the
Congress under the new Constitution.
The greater part Of this territory was
Virginia slave-holding territory.
The normal condition of Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama and Mississippi,
all territory when the United States
government was created, was slave,
and they have continued slave up to
this day.
The normal condition of every one
of the States when the federal govern
ment was formed, save Massachusetts,
possibly, was slave Crawford Go.

were three modes Of forganizing for the

officers regularly appointed in which
neither Republicans nor Democrats

the close of Eakin's speech, that the

son, of Ohio, to deliver Kennedy on a
requisition from the Governor OF Ten
neSsee, for stealing in that State and
selling them in Virginia, on the
ground that slaves are not recognized
as property by the laws Of Ohio, and
therefore it cannot be a crime under
our laws, to steal them, very justly re,
Dukes the hypocrisy Of the "party Of
freedom" and its failure to practically
enforce the principles which it pro.
tesses, when opportunity is given to
test its sincerity:
perhaps we may be pardoned for
mentioning that the sovereignty and
dignity OF Ohio would be better ex.
hibited by protecting her own honest
citizens than by shielding rogues from
other States. A free citizen of Ohio
has been confined in Jail in Ken
tucky for about eight months, on the
suspicion Of being a slave, and on
Monday was sold into slavery to pay
the claims whiclfhad accrued against
him in the effortto prove him to be a
slave; yet, during all this time, we
have heard Of no movement OH the
part Of the Executive of Ohio to pro-
tect this humble citizen, nor to prose.
cute his right to freedom in the Ken
lucky Courts. From mere helpless.
ness, growing out of his color and his
poverty, this citizen of Ohio has been
overcome by the fees which have &C.
cumnlated against him; and just as he
is sold into slavery, the Republican
Governor of Ohio vindicates the SOW.
ereignty OF the State by throwing its
@gis over a knave who robbed his
wife of her patrimony.
"How much we have gained by the
ascendency of this party of freedom,
as it is facetiously called, may be es-
timated by an incident during the ad-
ministration of Democratic Gov.

Judicial Proceedings.

The Jury in the case Of Ohio, ys.
Big Nelson Winchel were discharged
BY the Court on Saturday last on the
account that they were unable to agree
upon a verdict. A second Jury was
elnpanelad on yesterday, and the case
was submitted to them upon the tes-
timOny of the State alone, without ar
gument, and without any evidence on
the part Of the Def't. This course
was taken in pursuance Of an agree.
ment, as we understand, among the
Attorneys in the case. An extended
and labored trial in the case OF Ohio,
VS.. Joseph Mathews, who was char
ged in said indictment as principal in
said murder, had resulted in verdict
of murder in the second degree. The
State had accepted plea in the case
of Ohio VS.. Little Nelson Winchell
also charged with said murder, of
"guilty Of man. slaughter" Eleven
of the Jurors in the case of Ohio vs..
Big Nelson Winchell, when the Jury
were discharged, were in favor of
finding a verdict for murder in the
second degree, whilst the remaining
one was Of the opinion that there was
not sufficient testimony before the
Jury to warrant any conviction at all.
The Attorneys for Big Nelson Win.
chell and the Prosecuting. Attorney
agreed that should he be again fully
and thoroughly tried, the result would
be "murder in the second degres;"
and as the indictment contained but
one count and nolle could not, there
fere, be entered as to murder in the
first degree, and in order to avoid the
expense and labor Of q thorough and
full re,trial, they agreed to submit the
case without argument upon such tes,
timoDy as the State should see proper
to submit, and that the Prosecuting
Attorney should say to the Jury that
the State upon the testimony claimed
nothing higher, and lthe Defendant
should say to the Jury that he asked
nothing less upon the testimony, than
a verdict for murder in tho second de-
gree. After the State had closed her
testimony, the Defendant being with,
out his witnesses and unable then to
procure them, the Prosecuting AttOr
ney urged the Attorneys for the De.
tendant on account Of some personal
considerations, not to require him to
make the statement to the Jury, as
agreed upon previously by them, say
ing that the verdict would be murder
in the second degree at all events, and
if the Jury should surprise them by
returning verdict for murder in the
first degree he would not resist mo
tion for q new trial. With this under
standing, the Attorneys for tho De-
fendant suffered the Jury to take the
case under the charge Of tho Court
alone. The Jury, however, knowing
no reason why the Defendant had suf.
fercd himself to be in default, surpri.
sed the parties By n verdict for mur.
der in the first degree. The Court
on motion of Defendant set the ver-
dict aside, the Defendant pleaded
guilty to murder in the second degree
and was sentenced accordingly.
The arrangements made by the
Att'ys was rather a novel one, but no
doubt was made to avoid great labor
aud expense in accomplishing result
which seemed morally certain

ST. LOUIS, June 10.
The Indignation meeting of the
Democrats last night was a tremen-
dous affair, several thousand being in
attendance.
Speeches, denouncipg in strong
terms the action Of Congress in de-
priving Mr.. Barrett OF his seat, were
made by several prominent citizens
from two stands.
Resolutions were unanimously
passed cbaracterizins the decision Of
Congress in the contested election
case, unsupported by facts, at variance
with justice, tyranical. land unscru,
pulouS exercise Of the power of the
majority in contempt of the rights of
the minority and a reckless disregard
Of the rights OF the people OF this dis
trict, and scornfully repelling the i'm
putation that the election was carried
by fraud.
Another resolution, nominating
Barrett for Congress, was received
with tremendous cheers.
The Republicans also held meet.
ing, which was numerously attended.
Resolutions were passed charging
Barrett's election as the result Of
fraud, and in3orsing the decision of
Congress in giving Blair his seat.
Much indignation and appreciation
were manifested at the meetings.
