PRESIDENTIAL.

That influential and able organ of the Republi-

its regret that the National Convention of its pc
itica friends is called to meet at day early as
the 7th of June next, at which date it fears that
the issues, both military and political, on which
the impending Presidential campaign is destined
to turn, will not be sufficiently developed to admit
Of a satisfactory determination in respect to the
candidate who should be placed in nomination, or
the policy that should be adopted. 1t says:
The longer wait the better shall be able to dis

the nation is by in settled state great fer
mentatons going the bosom not only Of the Re-
publican but of the Democratic PARTIES the complicated

on the "Amsrioan Conflict" Of which some spe-
cimen pages have been forwarded to us by the
publishers, refers to this clause of the CoDsttu-
tion in the following terms
In these latter days since the radical Injustice and ni
quty oil siavehOdng have been profoundly realized
and gene ally appreciated many subtle and able at
temps have been made to explaiD away this most pnfor
tunae provision for the that the Convention WISE
and decorousy excluded the terms saue and slavery
from the Constitution; because, Mr. Madison says,
they did not choose to admit the right of property in
man. 1t has been argued that this provision does not
contemplate the rendition Of fugtves from slavery but
rather Of runaway apprences persons who, having
tered into contracts for their labor have repudated
their engagements and other such Jonahs The records
and "Reminiscences of the Convention however utterly
flute and dissipate these and idle preences 1t
sheer sbsurdy to contend that South Carolina n the
Convention wss absorbng intent engratng upon the
Federal Constitution provision for the recapture of run
away apprentices, or any thing of the sort"
In support of this view Mr.. Greeley makes q
single extract from the proceedings of the Con-
vention held in North Carolina en- the adoption of
the Constitution. 1t is known to every reader
that the evidence on this point could be indefinite
ly multiplied by similar citations. In the debate
of Tuesday, July 29, 1888, in the North Carolina
Ratification Convention, which was organized at
Hillsborough, July FL, 1888
Mr. lredel begged leave to explain the of this
clause (ast clause section g art IV} In some of the
Northern States they have emancpated all their slaDes
Ii any of slaDes said he there and remain there
certain time they would by the present laws be entitled
to their freedom that their masters could not get them
again This would be exreu ely prtjudcia to the nha
btants of the Southern States and to prevent it this
clause is inserted in the Constitution Though the word
saUe is not mentioned, this is the meaning of it, The
Northern delegates, owing to their peculiar scrupes
the subject slavery did not choose the word re to be
mentioned" -EHiots Debates, vol iv., p. 176.
1t will thus be seen that the Fugitive slave
clause Of the Constitution plants its roots in the
Ordinance " of freedom" passed in the year 1887.
1t is known to our readers that Senator SUMNER
has introduced bill into the Senate to repeal the
fugitive slave act Of 1850, purporting to be passed
in pursuance Of this clause, and has accompanied
his bill with report, which, however, We have not
seen, if indeed it has yet been printed.
