In the settlement of the disputes be-
tween the North and South which it is
possible may result from the present furry
down South, the doctrine OF the right of
secession must be forever settled, for if
recognized or allowed in any contingency,
We do not see how any Northern member
Of Congress could coBscientiously appro-
pirate dollar of public money towards
erecting new Notifications or Strengthening
old ones, or for building costly public edi-
fees, in States where this sentiment is
held, for in such case it would be no long
er for the benefit of the % L Union,' but for
the States separately. Nor would it be
worth our while hereafter to acquire foot
of territory, either by purchase or conquest,
for with a compact of no more strength
than a rope of sand, such territory as soon
as it became a State, could walk out of the
Union, set up for itself, or annex to Mexi
co, Canada, or some French or Spanish
Island I, With such a doctrine, Florida
would take the Pensacola Navy yard and
number Of forts, Georgia its forts, South
Carolina its forts and arsenal, Virginia
Fortress Monroe and the Rip Raps, two Of
the most costly forti6cations in America,
with the Navy Yard and other works near
Norfolk, &c. A few such facts are sufi-
cient to show what an absurdity is grow
ing up among the Southern leaders of de-
nocracy, and how disastrous it must prove
to all future Legislation by Congress for the
benefit Of such States as viii set up this
infamous claim.

1 The first and second sections against kidnsp-
ping are almost identical with those OF the
act of 1926, except that the words free ne
/ gro or mulatto" are used instead of negro
or mulattO." These sections have since been
/ held constitutional The third section pro-
hibits judges and other magistrates OF the
State from exercising any jurisdiction IN fu-
gitive slave cases. While this section Is pre-
dicated upon the principle recognized by the
United States Supreme Court, that the States
have a right to prohibit their magistrates
from acting under the fugitive slave law of
1898. il perhaps would have been as well II
the State had abstaiRed from any legislation
at all in this particular The admission of
the court that a State might prohibit her mag
istrates from acting under Congressional
law, did not require that every State should
proceed to do so. Besides, the general cur
rent Of the opinion IN Prigg's case Is against
any intermedling' of State authority IN the
matter. Pennsylvania would have set good
example to the other States if she had liter
ally complied with the judgement of the Su-
preme Court, and left all legislation on the
subject to Congress.
Now, however. the present fugitive siaTe
law, by implication, takes away the power 10
act under 1t from all State judges and magls-
trates, and confdes those powers exclusively
10 OuItcu CtdltS commissioners

prohibits the owner of the fugitive from re-
taking him in violent and tumultuOus man.
ner, so as 10 disturb or endanger the public
peace, and imposes penalty or fine, of not
more than one thousand dollars, and impris
Onment for not more than three months, on
conviction. The limitation to the right of re-
caption, indicated by the Supreme Court, was
that the owner must exercise ii without any
breach Of the peace or illegal violence. The
fifth section of the act Of lS47 reserves
the right of the State judges to issue writs of
habeas corpus in all cases of arrest and i'm
prisonment. This act has been re enacted in
the penal code passed at the last session of
the Legislature, with an additional section,
prohibiting, under penalty of five hundred
dollars, any attempt to enforce a sale made
