The Baltimore Morning Herald
For 1855.

The grswih Of The Morning Herald in cir
culation And influence during the year just
closed has been a. remarkable as 1t 10 graft
flying. To-day 1t 10 recognized as the spright-
liest, newsiest and most enterprising paper
in the State in its news columns, and the
ablest, most honest and most fearless in lie
editorial utterances. The Morning Herald
has this reputation because 1t has earned it.
Whenevs any event Of importance happena
The Morning Herald has an account oft, and
generally better account than snyofits rivals.
This is costly, but We find that it pays to
spend money lavishly to get news and print
il in the best form. Whatever The Morning
Herald has to say editorially ii says plainly,
neither party affiliations nor personal feel
ings avail TO secure Its sndoFsemnt of any
thing evil, or prevent itspeaking well of men,
measures or ihi-gs that deserve to be,wsl
spoken Of. The Morning Herald, although
believing in the Republican party, never al
lows its allegiance to party to interfere with
its duty as newspaper. The Morning Her
aid gives all tho news In the most compact
form, but every item gets the space IL deserves,
whether 1t be complete page or y couple Il
lines. Its market reports are full and accu-
rate. The Morning Bersld 10 the handsoms

is, therefore, tar upon the Treasury
to that amount. This condition of
things should rot exist, and some
legislation is necessary, whereby the
inspectors as well az the clerks and
employees should look to the receipts
of the Wafshouses rathsr than to the
State Treasury for their salaries.
On these remarks the Port Tobacco
Times comments as follows: If Mr..
Turner will but refer to Statement
A" of the appendix to his report, he
will find that he there acknowledges
receipt f$5, 2805 as accruing during
the fiscal year from the State wharves.
Now these State wharves, as Mr.. Tur-
ner ought to be well aware, are part
aud parcel Of the State Tobacco ware
house property, purchased with the
fund set apart from the money paid
into the treasury by the tobacco grow
ers under the compulsory inspection
laws. These receipts should therefore
be a credit to the tobacco fund, but,
by an inadvsrtence in legislation,
have not been SO credited since 1852.
From this it will appear that instead
of the inspection system having been
during the last fiscal year a tax upon
the treasury. as Mr.. Turner states
II has really been a source of revenue
to the State over andt above all ex.
penses.

doubt about it. Lincoln advised and
Congress proposed payment for slaves
in the Border States upon condition
of emancipation. The proposition was
not accepted, thus showing that all
parties considered slaves property.
Mr.. Lincoln. when pressing this sub
ject on Congress in his second annual
message uses the following language:
1.-THE measure is both just and eco
nomical. In q certain sense the lib
Grafton of slaves is the destruction of
proPerty-property acquired by de-
scent or purchase-the same as any
other property. It is no less true for
having been often said that the people
of the South are not much more respon-
sible for the original introduction of
this property than are the people of
the North. II then for q common
object this property is to be sac
rifcsd, is it not just that it be done at
common charger"
My construction in above extract
must, think, be considered the cor
rect one. The slaves were taken
before any Constitution, State or
United States, abolished slayerys-'
When taken. they became the pro-
psrty of the United States. On
this point l will again refer to Mr..
Lincoln az authority. A bill was in
troduced for the purpose Of confsca-
ting the slave property Of the Confed-
crates, and the mode of con6scation
was by emaneipating them. On this
in a message to Congress he remarks
at ID also provided lin the billy that
the slaves of persons convicted under
these sections (of the bill) shall be
free. 1t is startling to say that Con-
gress can free q slave within State,
and yet if it were said the ownership
of the slave had been first transfer
red to the nation and Congress had
then liberated him, the difficulty would
at once vanish; and this is the real
case" Thus, whether confscated or
taken as ours were for public use, Mr..
Lincoln contends and properly that
the slave becomes the property Of the
United States, and if emancipated,
must be done as their property. The
clause in the 14th amendment above
referred to cannot apply to our slaves
which were taken by the Government.
If they were lost or emancipated, they
must have been lost or emancipated,
| not as our property, but az the prop.
erty of the United States and the
Government is under the most solemn
obligation to pay US fair oompensa-
ton for them. If the United States
had given their bond for $500 for each
slave at the time of taking him or her,
could it be construed that the above
clause of the 14th amendment repu-
dated that bond Is not just, open
claim against an honest goyerRmeht
as much entitled to consideration as
its bond2 No honest administration
of the government will for a moment
doubt it. and I therefore hope that our
just claim will be promptly urged;
and | believe that now that passion 10
giving way to reason and justice, it
will be at an early day fully paid. I
agree with the Times that the Legis-
lature ought to take action in this
matter at its next session and that
they should take{ necessary stspSts
obtain the cooperation Of other Bor>
der States. -
