Constitution of the United States pro-
vides that "the privilege of the writ of
ha6eas corpus shall not be suspended
asnless achen in cases Of rebellion and
invasio'o the public safety may require

of the Constitution Judge Story says:
=" 1t is obvious that cases of peculiar
emergency may arise, which may jus
even require-the temporary
suspension of any right to the writ"

WASHING SHEEP.-On my return
trip to town last week, met many farmers with
their Aocks of sheep going to the washing. Some
of these were so filthy with their own manure they
could hardly get along, whilst other focks which
had been properly cared for clean and healthy.
came to this conclusion, that any man presuming
to keep sheep who would neglect to tag them
before turning them out to grass, ought to be
tagged himself and turned out to grass.

BALANCE OF TR4nR.

The so-ca1led "balapce of trade ;s a
most obstinate delusion. Gold, by being
employed a. money, does not become any
less commercial commodity; it does not
lose its attribute of value thereby. Onthe
contrary, it gains N value as commodity
at least one-halfby the additional use, and
it gains also the quality Of being in uni
yersa1 demand by its Office ofmoney. The
demand for gold is for this reason always
the same, namely, for all that can be OBJ
tanned. We are not now speaking Of
money as 1oanable capital that money cir
culates, and which may be in beef wheat,
or corn, or VINE, or any other value as
well as in money. The demand for this
differs widely, and is generally the great
est where money, as in California, is the
cheapest, causing prodigious fluctuations

THR NEGRO QUESTION.
-Four millions Of human beings are held
in bondage in this country, liable to be
Aogged, manned, sold OF murdered at the
will Of their masters any day of the wear,
or any hour Of the day, These four mil.
lions must be either set free or kept in
slavery. They cannot be exterminated
they cannot be exported they cannot be
forever ensiaved. The first two propositions
no one VIII gainsay and history tells
US that the other Is essentially tue. With
out recurring to the seryfe instructions
OF Rome and St. Domingo, We find in the
comparatively trivial outbreak, led BY Nat
Turner thirty years ago, the assurance that,
at some time, wild, terrible and success
fa1 sleve rebellion will surely come. Nat
Turner and his three companies not only
convulsed Virginia and North Carolina,
but sent the most cruel terror
through every Southern State Of
America and every island Of the
West Indies where slave was held, The
blacks were murdered BY the hundred On
suspicion, in all directions. The most alb.
ject fear fell upon thousands Of house-
holds. So far SIS We can see at this dav.
nothing but q sheer accident prevented
the entire success Of the insurrection, al
Though barely four persons had been ad-
1nitted to the secret when the first blow
WIS struck.
What shall be done with them? # we
do not emancipate them peacefully they
will one day emancipate themselves in fire
and blood May God avert that day! But
God will not avert that day by any other
than human means He will not interpose
miracle to counteract the infalIbIe re-
suits Of slavery. If the greatest catastro-
phe which could aff1ict our country is to
be avoided, ours must be the frmness, the
wisdom, the humanity to stay it. Great
Britain emancipated her slaves-With what
result? They gave thanks to God, and re-
TUNED to the plantations with light hearts
and willing hands, laboring for honest wa
ges. The French masters Of Hayti refused
liberty to their blacks, and the whole
island, cne terrible day, was bathed in the
white mans gore We can follow either
example We shall be sure to meet the
corresponding result
The slave masters Of the South have
thrown the country into devastating war,
involving the sacrifice Of thousands Of
lives and millons Of money. In the midst
of this destruction and carnage we hear
certain voices exclaiming, "confscate the
"houses, lands end goods of the rebels,
" and if need be shoot them through the
"head, but don't touch their 1aiggers.' This
is the exclamation Of the Chairman OF the
New York Democratic Convention. Garry
On the wa1-kill, burn and subjugate-
but by all means preserve slavery, that
household blessing, that national harmon
izer, that harbineer Of peace and good will
among Americans We are not sorry to
see this issue presented to the people o1
the Empire State, and we shall not be
sorry to see it come before the whole peo
pie. Fremont's proclamation is our plat
form henceforth to the end of the war.
