that these concessions were an imperfection in
their work-imperfection which they had not the
courage or the heart to remove. They left them,
however, in the hope that soon The good judg-
ment, the humanity, and the Chritian civilization
OF the age would lead to the gradual and peaceful
extinction of slavery and so leave the objectiona-
BILE articles in their Constitution useless and
dead letter.-And the general views Of the states
men of that time were decidedly hostile TO slave
ry, and Southern men as well as Northern men,
looked forward to see the Nation at no distant
day, entirely free from this reproach. Jefferson s
opinions are too familiar to need recting and IN
the convention in Virginia to ratify the Constitu-
ton Of the United States, when some one object
led to the ratification, ia the apprehension that the
powers Of the Government which it proposed to
establish NIGH in some possible mode be exerted
for the abolition of slavery, Gov Randolph said:
Il hope there is none here, who, considering
the subject in the calm light of philosophy, will
make an obi sction diShonorabie TO Virginia that
at the moment they are securing tbs rights Of
their citizens an objection is started that there is
a spark of hope that these unfortunate cen now
held IN bondage may, by the operation of the Cen

1t is quite clear from this and similar utteran-
ces of the great and good men of that time, that
these " Compromises Of the Constitution do
not, either in their spirit OR in their letter, call
upon us to yield anything more than our fathers
yielded to Slavery. Just what they gave we are
not to deny to good and loyal citizens of the
Republic. Where they stopped we have right to
stop. They had infinitely more reasons for
yielding to the demands of slavery than we have
ever had and what they refused to do, we may in
obedience to their example, and in full harmony
with the spirit which influenced them, also refuse
to DO. W hat argument, them can the conces.

ENTHUSIASM OF THE NEGROES.

There were many incidents connected with the
fight which would be interesting to your readers
had time to enlarge upon them. would like
to speak of the enthusiasm of the blacks at the
arrival of our troops how gladly they welcomed
US, and what noble service they rendered in
taking care of the sick how they emptled their
larders into the hands of our boys, bringing out
their choicest stores and spending them with
lavish hand. This was the grand day Of their
lives, and the women, with here and there sol
itary tuft on their aged heads, danced and
screamed with joy us they declared the Lord had
heard their prayer at last. The yoane women
blushed as they courtesied and shook hands wits
our soldiers, and rejoced that they should not
have to work any more in the cornfeds. Little
ebony piccaninnies stood on their heads and
brandished their heels, intoxicated by the un-
versal joy.
