CANADIAN LAWYERS IGNORANCE or THE AMERl-
CAN CONSTITUTION AND LAWS The principal
point urged by Dir. Cameron in favor Of the
discharge of Anderson before the Canadian
Court OF Common Pleas was this:-"The State.
OF Missouri asks for rendition of a fugitive
slave hpon charge which was murder only
within a municipality of the United States The
law of murder ia Missouri was not the law OF
murder in the United States. IL was contrary
10 the constitution"
Nothing Can be further from the truth than
this. The constitution OF the United States ex
pressly provides for the rendition OF fugitive
slaves, and IL any citizen of New York, for ex-
ample, should lose his life at the hands Of
fugitive slave from Missouri in attempting to
capture him. that crime would be clearly inur
der in this State aud in every other, for il IL
the duty OF all good citizens to carry out the
constitution, and n, law OF murder il the same
in every State.
Again, Mr. Freeman urged that "tbc charge
should be first Land In the United States by
federal officers, and the evidence does MOI
show that any charge has been laid there
against Anderson" II Mr.. Freeman under.
stood our political system little bet
ter he would have seen That Anderson
committed no crime against the federal laws
and could not be charged in q federal court
The crime was committed within the jurisdic-
ton of the State of Missouri and it clearly
comes under The provisions of the Ashburton
treaty, by which tho federal government, as the
general agent Of all the Statee is authorized 10
claim certain criminals escaping from any Of
them into the British dominions- II the federal
government could only claim criminals who
committed offences within the federal jurisdic-
ton, case OF that kind would seldom or never
occur. For only II the offence was committed
on the high seas, or in the forts, arsenals, navy
yards OF the District Of Columbia would IL be

CELEBRATION OF WAsHIsGToN's BIRTHDAY
All New York was alive yesterday TO celebrate
the One Iundre d and Twenty ninth Anniversary
Of the natal day of him who Was 'frst in war
first III peace and first in the hearts OF his fl-
low countrymen.' The people turned ont en-
masse, the military looked splendid, and the
city wore a most brilliant appearance, quite in
contrast with The gloom that overshadowed it
on Tuesday, when the secead Washington, as
Mr.. Lihcoln's pa. asites call him, passed through
Broadway surrounded by armed police. The
President elect will do well to ponder over
this circumstance, to recollect that he has
yet to make his reputation, and to
prove that be is really worthy to sit in the
chair of Washington. Now, the commercial
mctrcpoli the hart Of the Union, has no
faith in him, but shows its attachment to the
Union by paying marked respect to ono who
was tried and never found wanting. At Phla
delphia Lincoln declared that ne would stand
by the doctrines culcated by the patriots
who met in Independence Hail. If he will do
so-and we hope that he will-his memory
may be honored above that of any President
since the Poter Potrig. Lincoln must cut the
politicians first, however; otherwise he will be
ruined. ii he intends to be the second WASH
ington be must obey the voice OF the people,
not the dictates Of party.
