Slaver)- lu Maryland.
I torn the Tribune.
We have briefly noticed the startling fact
mentioned by our Baltimore correspondent that
the slave trade was being carried on in Mary
land Ty the judicial and executive officers of
that State, under the pretended authority of the
Maryland Code, and in alleged accordance with
the national Constitution. Advcrlteements an
nouncing the feale, for a term of years, In pur
maucc of the sentence of a court "d the au
thority ol a sheriff, w ill exc ite a reeling of some
thing more than surprise in tne breasts of hun
theds of thousands, who for niore than a year
ltave been uccustomod to thank God that slavery
ju America had been constitutionally abolished
They believed that they had lived to cee tin day
1-0 long prayed lor, when, in his westward
course over our ocean glit republic, the sun no
lonpor rose upon a master nor set upon a slave.
But here Is a now and hideous vlMon of auction
blocks in front ol court houses, for the sale of
4,lavcs and other cattle," with a sheriff as auc
tioneer, flourishing his ludlcUl record and
poin itip, to the- ''Constitutional amendment
HbolisLine sluveiy"' as confirming iti validity,
fcvni tLose vtto lu the .olden time had so "con
(iKi((1 turlr picju'Uces" as to contend that
ilaver was not a crime, must loel that iti uu
liluhi'iif revival at this moment, and in this
loini Is, to eav the least, a blunder.
The responsibility for the existence of this
anomaly, which tends to make us contemptible
ju the eyes ot the world and despicable In our
own, reBts primarily with tho Cousress which,
in proceeding to ameud the Constitution for
the abolition of slavery, and intending that
r.bidUlon to bo total aud final, neglected ta use
words that Indicated their inU'tiliou. Edrnesi,
Fuef'etions to tuts effect were met by the reply
that it would be more historically interesting,
hi id would exhibit a more continuous and uni
lonu legislation to adopt and incorp irate Into
the Constitution the identical prohibition ot
flavery framed by thu Fatbois ot the republic
and embodied in the ordinance that secured
liTcdom to our great Northwest. To the indul
gence of this sentiment, which we thought then,
und which we still thing, partooj rath -r of idle
pedantry than of sound btaiesniaiish p, is the
country indebted lor the fact ttiat Anerkau
hlavery and the ulave tradii ate carried on to-day
under the shelter of that amendment.
An absolute prohibition of slavery, without
exception, would have raised Congress and
would have been ratitled by the people of the
fcHate as readily and as certainly as the ouo
which was adopted; and yet in its place we
Jiave the following article, authorizing aud jus
tifying slavery in a class ot cases which, if left
to the decision ot the ltebcl States, may be en
larged and extended until slavery is made once
juore their peculiar institution: -"Articlo XIII,
frettiou 1. Neither slavery Lor involuntary ser
vitude, except as a punishment for crime
vliercof the p.tity shall have been duly con
vieted, shall exiit within the United States or
fl'.iv place sublet to their jurisdiction."
Until seme new amendment shall abolush this
rsccption, servitude for crime will be permis
Mblc under the national.Conslitution; but what
ive buve to do, aud what we can do, is to see
that it is iuflicted as a punishment only for
crime, aud not for color. This subject may pro
perly eueaae the attention of Congress under
the second section of the amendment, empower
ing them to enforce the article by appropriate
legislation. But the true remedy' tor this aud
other abuses to which the blacks are subjected
by State legislation Irnnirp.l hv elocov. l l
exposition uy the Supreme Court of the United
rUateo of the true meaning and effect of the
Constitutional Amendment, in giviug lo the
lepublic a national policy of equal freedom and
cq al juslioe.
The allowunce by the amendment of slavery
ns,a punishment for crime nay seem to mitigate
apuiust this view, but it should be remembered
that, by the tirst article of the Constitution,
apportioning representatives and direct taxe,
"persons bound to service for a term of years"
vcre expressly included among the number of
lree poison?, and that it was not uncommon for
the German and o!her "re-leraptionei!?," as they
were calle l, thus to bind themselves to a sort of
slavery, so far as labor and obedience were con
cerned, although it was entirely free from those
features of chatteldom which gave to Southern
ultiveiy its peculiar horrors. The question how
l:i r the amendment abolishing slavery has
changed the national policy, as hitherto de
duced from slavery under the old Constitution
i pro-slavery judges, is one which has not as
jet engaged the attention of our national judi
ciary. The provi-ions of the Maryland Code under
wliich, for the same crime, white men and wo
men are tent to the Penitentiary, and black
men and women are sold into slavery, affords
an excellent opportunity for an elaborate argu
ment and final decision on the right of the States
thus to dwjriniiuato between Aaioricau citizens,
aud to establish, in a republic where all meu
arc born tree and equal, aristocratic and class
distinctions. The subject was receutly alluded
loin an addies3 to the Uulon League Club of
liew York by its President, and the opinion was
intimated that the amendment had rendered of
questionable validity some ot our autlquated
tatc laws, both at the North and tlte South,
that imposed disabilities and penalties not for
crime, but for race aud complexion.
'A class of udicial questions," said Mr. Jay,
"giowing out of slavery and its incidenls, which
Iiad been finally settled, as was supposed, under
the Constitution as it was, wouhl seem to be
cii-tuvbed if not reopened by the Constitutional
aiuebdtncnt, that has substituted freedom lor
slavery as the premise of the argument by which
their validity was formerly established. It may
possibly be that the identical course of In luc
tive reasoning, which starting from the view of
the lte Chiet Justice that the iraraers of the
Constitution ot 178'J retarded the blacks a lmv-
ing uo rights whatsoever, sorved to establish
upon that basis, by the severest logic, the right
ot.the S ates to disfranchise, outlaw, degrade,
and insult what Mr. Taney called 'the slave
races,' a cla.s thus uncared ior and unprotected
by the Constitution, may lead to a different con
clusion, when the judges commence with the
new tact, that the American veopie in their
sovereign capacity have constituted, ordaiued
and established that the members of the
thus disfranchised shall be equally entitle I with
themselves to the Inalienable rights of American
citizens."
The eflect of such a decision oa the suffrage
quest iou which now agitate toe country, was'
in a subsequent part ot the address thus de
ncribed: ''Should the Supreme Court, upon a
thorough review of the national policy as
allectej by the amendment, reach the conclu
sion that j the national Constitution as amended
no longer permits the States to establish In-c-giiality,
by the outlawry or disfranchisement
of a class; the difficulties heretofore anticipated
trom an. interference by Congress with the sup
l!iPd rights of the Sta'es to disfranchise at their
I'JfTjtiie will .be avoided. The decision' will

From (fie Timet.
It need not in the least detract from the favor
able estimate which we have formed of Mr.
Blight's energy as au agitator, If we devote a
word or two to a truth which the Loudon R:
foim Trades meeting of December 3 seems to
make apparent. The meeting was professedly
one of the organized trade societies of the metro
polls, and was projected tn accordance with Mr.
Brigbt's Idea that all the power which artisans
are able to use for industrial purposes suoura
be used for political purposes as well. Fully I
expecting that the various trade societies would I
take the same view of the matter, be predicted a
procession of two hundred thousand per
sons, and a day of great enthusiasm. . Neither
the one expectation nor the other was fulfilled.
The procession appears to have numbered about
twchty-hva thousand, and beyoud the fact that i
there was a great crowd ot lookers on, the ex
citement was of a very mild description. This
result was due, to some extent, to minor causes,
but the conclusion cannot be avoided that the 1
heart of the laboring classes was not very
strongly moved on the questiou of reform.
We Lave repeatedly pointed out that the
apatl y of these classes on political subject is
gieatrr than some would have it appear. The
difficulties uoder which they live are uncon- i
necled with the suOrage, as they know very
well. Every Euglish mechanic of any intelli
gence knows that full work and hich wages are
not to be controlled by any legislatiou what
ever. The working classes of England are,
without doubt, always studying the rola'.iom of
capital and lalor, lor those" relations are what
control their condition, and enter into every
circumstance of their haid-worklng lives. But
with tLese things cuaugus in the representation
have nothing to do. In fact, the course of Bri
tish legislation having been toward the fostering
ol British trade, and successfully so, the masses
are geucially disposed to content themselves
with political afluirs as they are. In fact, the
lintls-b workman is not. in the main, discon
tented with his lulcrs, tor he knows that were
he to take their place, he could not remove
evils that are inevitable. As tor sensation
writers, who ubiise everybody who docs not
b lie vein them, and who affirm that England
"groans" under its aristocratic system, they
may be dismissed with the Matement of a fact ,
well nuderftood by well-informed persons
Englishmen are not weary of their aristocracy,
but, on the contrary, look to that aristocracy
with great respect, and rec urnize its General ,
influence in preserving the t-tatus of the nation
among other nations with much gratification. '.
The preservation of the "ancient honor of the ,
family" is, as most even of tue poorest classes ,
understand it, a sort ol sacred obligation with
the majority of the title ! gentlemen, whose
names are reminders of many old historic epochs
epochs not less interc-Unir to ourselves tbau '
to other people?; nay, epochs in which our own
ancestry bore an honorable part, and In this
sense aie a guarantee of ibe staoility aud the !
respectability of the nation itself. i
The political movements, iu short, which from
time to time are rife iu England, are not to be
judged by an American standard. In that ,
country much that with us Is a constant subject !
of debate, is settled aud accepted. The course !
of parties does not run there as does the course
ot parties with ourselves. There the mases un- '.
dersiaud, aud are proud to understand, that the
general forms ot government are fixed, and, '
humanly speaking, immutable, and that there
are limits even to political vagal ies. We, who ,
are toiever patching, or seekiug to patch, the
holes which we ourselves have made iu tho i
structure, which we have reared with so much i
labor, and love so well, cannot understand that 1
another natiou will stand firm around a social
edifice formed upon a difleront model. But the '
truth is the truth nevertheless. The difficulties
ht dor wliioli Inbur In Htipluud uO'crB ttie '
nowise concerned in these matters, aud the I
trade lociotiei which did not parade at Mr. I
Blight's bidding knew it. Tne problem which i
they liave lo solve is a different one from that I
which be has undertaken to solve. Tbey inrend '
to combine not for the election of members ot
Parliament, but for the establishment of Indus- J
trial enterprises of their own. They are more
bent upon leiiliziug that labor is capital than
upon the possession of a franchise which would I
beof compaiatively little use to them. They 1
turned out to see the show of December the 31
as people Will turn out to sec any show. But
when all was over they returned home with
minded feelings. Prominent was, of course, j
that ot respoct lor Mr. Bright, who is respected :
even by his enemies; but as prominent was the !
other feeling, that votes were very well, but
victuals were better, end that the elevation of
the British workngman must depend upon the
union of mdustry aud skill, to be guided by his !
own bra'iis, and to enure to his own beuetit, I
Napolcou, Italy, aud the Pope. J
From the. Herald.
We yesterday published a telegram which '
announces that the Londou Times considers
the affairs of the Holy See, in spite of tranquil i
appearances, iu a really critical condition. The
view taken by the Times does not surprise us.
It Is in perfect harmony with all that we have
seen on the subject. There is peril real
peiil. The peril, however, is not the result of
anything inhereut in the situation itself. It
springs from a different source. It arises from
the simple circumstance that the Holy Father
Hlone ot all the world, if we except a few big
oted and foolish advisers, refuses to see that,
so far as his office is concerned, the separa
tion of the spiritual lrora the temporal is now
inevitable. To lemain a spiritual, be must
cease to be a temporal prince. Why his Holi
ness should so obstinately cling to that which
cannot cling to him, we confess we hud it difficult
to explain. His obstinacy would be tho less
surprising if the dignity and usefulness of his
posiii n were to be atlecled by the chauge. But
we have no such fears. It cannot ba that he
relies on thestrength and patriotism of the Papal
guard, which is composed of cowardly and un
principled renegades from all the ends of the
earth, and of which John H. Suiratt may be
retarded as a specimen. Surely he docs not
expest that from the Empress Eugenie, who,
with the Prince Imperial li soon to visit Rome,
he will receive some comforting intelligeace of
the Emperor's private intentions wkich could
not saiely be entrusted to auother messenger
Napoleon, he must know, has played his last
at Rome. .Further aid trom him i uot to be
expected. Delay in th'.s case Is specially dan
erou8. If tho Pope does not come to a deci
sion, and that speedily, the matter will be de
cided lor him. Victor Emanuel will be an in
terested onlooker; but be will be nothing more.
Violeuce from without there will bo nine. But
the Roman neoiile will rloolar. for nntnn xi'lth
the Italian kingdom, and the Papal guard will
uv iiuiuiBiu w cieieat their purpose. Iity it
will be if violence is resorted to: for no tores
trom within can check the inevitable tendency
of events Let the Holy Father at once accept
the situation, and all difficulties are settled.
Rome and the Status of the Church will become
pari or the Italian kingdom. Victor Emmanuel
will content himsilt in Florence, one of the
fairest capitals iu the world. Rome, with all its
ecclesiastical curiosities, will be ungrudgingly
left to the Pope and his sacred college ot :r.
dinal. If he remains dogged and obstluate to
the last, how humiliating the last may be wo
shall not venture to predict.
Tli Pennsylvania Senatorshlp.
jyoth the Wortd.
The contest for the Senatorial seat to be
vacated by Mr. Cowan, of Pennsylvania, has
narrowed down among tie radicals to three
c andidates Governor Curtln, Simon Cameron,
Mid Tl-addeus Stevens. The Pennsylvania papers,
of the radical stripe, outside of Philadelphia,
generally favor Stevens j and Forney, who was
himself a popeful candidate.jbut who has with
drjwa from the contest, proubunccs for Stevens
as bis candidate. In returnjfor this support,
Mr. Stevens rose lb the House! the other day and
enthusiastically defended Mr. Foraey when the
Chronicle (one of "my two papers, both daily")
was attacked In a personal explanation, by Mr.
Sp8iilding, of Ohio. Mr. Stevens defends Forney,
and Fotnry, in on "Occasional") to the Philadel
phia1 Press, says: "I am tree to say that I think
the election of the Hon. Tbaddeus Stevens, a
the successor of Mr. Cowan, would promote
lasting harmony In our political ho'irebold, and
would unquestionably sec ure to the State ami
the nation a champion or those great principles
of matchless experience, Integrity, and courage."
And jets in the Lancaster Intel ifjencer, la 18;)8,
when Stevens was a petty Pennsylvania poli
tician, appeared the following, which is under
stood to have emanated froui (lie pcu ot John
W. Forney:
"Tbaddeus Stevens, we are glad to say It, is
not a Pennsjlvaniau. His own history proves
that he came hither a stranger to her people,
and has continued at all times consistently ad
verse to her Interests. He has been, since
his unfortunate preence in the Legislature,
Pennsj I vnnia's evil genius, and tl she has de-
f eneratcd at all, and the three past years of her
ite prove that she has, he plann?d the misfor
tune. We will not repeat here his utter desti
tution of icputation. for his career is one of that
kind which could only have been run bv a vil
lain at heart. Pennsylvania has three blemishes
on her escutcheon the Masonic inquisition, the
cliaileilcg of the United States Bank, and the
present ouUngeous condition of affairs. The
rii st, it Is not requisite to iny he originated and
completed. The second was the fitting offspring
ot his brain; lor lie read that lu'amous bill before
the Iiitner House of Representatives. The last
(the buckshot war), Is his own by every law of
right. He began the anarchy it Is the sad
consequence of bis own plans. He dissolved
the Government. He is now urging the Senate
to go on in its pMth of destruction. Ho is em
phatically "the power behind the throne." The
last is a desperate and final plunge. It will
cither mske or unmake him. It It is successful
he can cover up the festering infamy of his lite
and save himself and his companions from Im
pending ruin. If it Is unsuccessful, he will bo
spumed, not only from the hall of the Legisla
ture, but from the very State if tne laws permit
ft is efcape."
There is no reason for believing that either
.Stevens or Forney has gnatly changed his
political or personal character since 18j8.
