He compares hiui to an cmigraut who takes into I Nebraska the ox-team which he purchased in : Ohio, But the cases are not the tame. — ' Neither the laws of Virginia, uor of any ..ther I slave State, give the master the same right of BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1859. i property in a slave that he ha 3 in an ox or a i 1 rse. His right of property in the latter i* j absolute. He may sell, use or kill it at his ! pleasure. lie may do anything With it that will not injure the rights of other members of I the community. If by the laws of the State , where tire property was acquired, ha cuu'd be ! punished for its abuse, (as in ease of cruelty i to animals.) or Vihs restrained iu certain cases ; from its alienation, all these restrictions perish when he passes with it into a territory, or ia i any other way carries it beyong the reach of the -t.'.e laws. Ills rights then become abso ; lute and unconditional. ) How is it with respect to slave property ? \ Judge Black says that "the ques'ioa whether ] the relatiou of m ister and slave exists or uot, must be determined according to the law of the state in which it was created, but," he adds, "the respective rights ami obligations of the j arties must be protested aud enforced by the law prevailing at the place where they are supposed to be violated. The master takes with him iu'.o the turritories his title, but not tire judicial remedies whieu were furnishoa biso a; the place wheie his title was acquired j Judge B'uek is adroit. He excepts these ju- I diciai remedies, to escape the absurdity of ex : I ading state laws beyond their jurisdiction.— | We understand by this exception that the ; Courts of a Territory, where uo slave cole has beeu unacted, oau do uo ruoro than adjudicate | the question of iitle, aud re-deliver to the , master his slave. They cov-d not punish a ! third party fur teaching the slave to read, for I harboring him. or for enticing lr'iu away. The ; master loses the benefit of these enactments, i if any such there were in the state from which | liC CdlßCj WUO ahe pass * the boundary wl the ! state. Nothing like thorn can be foaud in the j consiituiion of the United States. 1 Judge Bl ck must therefore modify Lis pro ; position, and say that a slave being property ta ; Virgini 1, L.a master retains all the rights of a * 'Virginia master iu a Territory where no slave | code exists, except ike right to iuch legislation as wiil protect his slave property. Now can a party have a right, without Lav ing a remedy J Judge Black may say that j the right oiiginstes under the laws of the stat9 i from which ue slave was brought, and that j | these are incapable of affording a remedy.— I 1 But it matters not where the right originated i j Tt WOUIJ per" B when tTTd' ta aster pasA-d'tclb' the Territory, where it not for Judge Black's i construction of the Constitution of tiio United [States. Suppose the master aui his slave to! go into a foreign Territory or Slate where no j j M-ive code exists, and over which the Cousii- j | tutioa of the United States does not extend, j j what wouii L-o tie conscq*ieuoe ? Certainly | ; they would have equal right* before tie 1 iw. ' ; I-' is el ir then that tha rtght which Ju ige J i iilacx claims for the \ irginta master, dots not ( ! v'xist by virtue of Virginia law*, but. us ho j himstli says, by virtue of the Constitution of' j the United States.

It is the next step in the i ; systematic progress of slavery, another link in i ; the uu iia tttiue chain of cruelty and barbarism * with which Judge Black is aiding to fcltcr the j free spirit <*f our democratic institutions. We | ask Judge Biaek to define Lis position on this j question now. His party is looking for N*or | 1 hern dough to work into a Presidential candi l date, let bim give th ; proof that he is tue rigb> I material. Consistency demands it. Ha has reproached Judge Douglas tampering with the j constitution si rights ot the slave-holders; wo j would ask him i: these rights are more in dan . gcr front "unf: ieudly legislation,' or from ve uLl trespasses on the part of old John Brown | au*J individuals of .iko scutiuiCQts.

Make haste (0 declare the new Democratic doctrine Judge. Wo loug to meet you on the question cf ; Federal legislation, for or against slavery in , the Territories. V* er. HI uotstop hero to dispute Judge Black's proposition that the constitution recognize.* and , protects slavery in the territories. Had we time j tor this, we should argue teat the status of a * uegro under tho constitution is that of "a per son' not li a chattel, 1 ' aud tuat ho is entitled to ! the benefit of that article which provides, that ! "10 person shall be deprived of life, liberty or ! property without due process of Lw." It is possible that after Judge Biaek aud our present ! Supreme Court have passed away, aud are uier | cilully forgotten, ll.at an upright judiciary may, j without "torture," extract from the words we ; iiuve quoted, something more than the 'semblance | ufa prohibition.' Leaving third patties out of the question, ! Judge Biaek wouid s*j (hat as between tho ; master and the slave, the rights of the former I remain undisturbed, when he goes from a slave ! stale into a Territory. But what becomos of ; the rights of the slave? May the master scourge i maim or kill? May Le starve him? May he ' tuake him work eighteen hours iu the twenty | tour, and every day in the week? May ho sell I him uway from his family? If tha slave came i from Louisiana iia was protectod in all these : particulars. Tho masters right of property was jso fur limit3d. These limitations defiue the 1 status of tho slave. They arc as much his right as all (hut falls outside ot them is the right ot the master. Must the Territorial Court decide that be is his masters property, subject never theless to all the restrictions imposed by tho iawa of Louisiana? TV ould not such decision be absurd? Would it uot be a mockery, ihe master may appeal to the iuws of ills state ill support of Lis title, but the slave cannot appeal I ta the same laws to show its limitation*. Tbey 1 are what Judge Biaek calls 'judicial remedies' | and they are left behind with the benignant | code of Louisiana. The constitution recognizes and protects the right of one party, but cannot see the rights of the other. The party who mCsl needs protection is, alas! defeuceles*. It say* you are the property of A. B. or C. You arc a stave. If does uot say that no master shall tuuim, starve or kill his slave. If he takes it head to do so "judicial remedy" can Ibo invoke J. Tho bowie-knife and pistol arc in tho b&sters hands, let him use thoui in right pflotation styie according to his pleasure- It will not do for Judge Black to say that the laws for tne protection or the slave, which we , hawaliuded to, are of little consequence. Their ' preambles in every case assert that they are necessary to restrain the lawless passions and the cruelty of tha masters. Neither should he * say that they are never enforced. That is the worst rcproaeh aimed at the peculiar institution, j by such men as Wendell Fusliip* and \V. Lloyd Garrison. But we have done Judge Biaek great injustice ia supposing that he would trouble himself one mooieut about the right, of niggers. The strjtplcs of Southern legislators upon this sub ject can Lave iu his mind. Their Le uft*!cnt enactments fie considers ihe fruit of mauilm philanthropy, and it gites him no con cern to see them perish under the blighting iu ffathce of the Constitution of the United States. Judge Biaek uses this great charter, like Circe's cup, to turn M t: LI into bca-ts. Under the worst co*-:£of the poorest slave stale iu tne Confeder acy , though for many purposes, the negro is a chattel, yet he his some oi tho essential right* of a human being; but in a Territory cf the Unified States where the Constitution i, the su preme hw, Judge lEoek ddobarss ihat the ne gro is not a man—but ah. ut", that iae uas no more rights than an ox- It is said of the Eu glifii Parliament that it can do anything but make u. Loan a woman or a woman u man. We had suppose that there Was stJurehow a differ ence between a human being and a mere animal that legislators aud Courts could not fail to dis tinguish, but Judge Black; does, by uiero iui plication, what has never yet been done by posi tive law. We have reached r. point where argument Le c - otes impossible.

GERUIT WMIRU AND BROWN. — i'iieSyracuse Journal learns from a gentleman who has con v.*red with Gerrit Smith iu regard to the trouble at Harper's Ferry, tbat be was in no way identified with or privy to Brown's scheme. His explanation of the matter is this Two years ago, Mr. Smith, in sudor to help the Free State movement iu Kansas,gave Brown a note of about §3OO, against a mau then iu Kansas ; Brown could not collect ihe note ; so i.e returned it to Mr. Smith, who agreed to give him, at some future time, cash to the amount of the note. AtUr that be lost Mgl.t of Brown until al ou: the first of June iast, when he received a letter requesting bint to send a draft for a certain nuiouut, §lOO, vre think payable to the order of another party. Mr. Smith, in compliance with the request aud his former proun*?, promptly forwarded the draft, supposing it was a-bona file firm to whom it was addressed. He probably believed also that the money wo* to be used, at least indirectly, in assisting fugitive slaves, as that was the last "Kansas work" taut LJ knew anything about. Mr. Smith says dßtiuctly that he had uo knowledge or the least su*picion that Brown was engaged in planning an insutrjetiou. 'i'Lis agrees per fectly with Brown's statemeuts, that be clone originated and carried or. Lis scheme.

It was a h'art rending 6oene, to be sure. We endeavored to procure a lock of the bait of several of the 'solders,' us a woineutoof them, in oaso they should fight, bleed and die iu the service of tbeit couutry; but they were too much afflicted by the parting seeye to pay any utteuiion to our request.

A case of suLide occurred in this city, yes terday, in which a most extrsordinaiy tenacity of life was manifested. The particulars, r.s we learn them, ate as follows: An aged gcutleman named Charles Kuapp, who has bpeo fcoardmg at No. 1 Bumstead picu fot some time past, retired to his room yesterday noon aud made preparations for committing suicide. He first wrote two letters, addressed to a relative resid ing in Roxbury, containing directions in tegard to the disposal of his property, and then swal lowed a large dose ot laudanum. Before the opiate had operated, he took a razor and drew it across the right side of his neck, making a ghastiy wound but not severing the jugular vein. Not satisfied wiih the result of ibis wound he took a large butcher kuifc, with which ho bad provided himself, aud cut the left of bis neck and throat, from which the blood flowed most copiously. His strength still remaining, and, as it would seem, his reason also, he walk ed to a table whero lie had laid a loaded double barrelled pistol, took up the weapon and fired the contents of one barrel into Us head. The contents of the pistol charge entered bis fore head, between his eves, making a hole nearly an iuch in diamelcr and breaking out several pieces of Lone, which were found ou the floor of Lis room. After this last effort at self-de struction Le crawled to the spot where be laid the butcher knife, seized it aud drew the blade acres* bis forehead several times, inflicttag ter rible gaehes. He now fell on the floor, el.spiiig the butcher knife in his hand*, and toireui* of blood flow ing from his wound", iu which condition be was found by a servant who was seut to call bim to dinner. Physicians weje instantly summoned, and, no:withstand ug tho combined effects of poison, knife, and pistol, he survived until lata in ibe evening, and death which seemed reluct ant it first, came to his relief. Mr. Knapp bad been a sea captain for many years, iu which avocation he had acquired a handsome fortune, and had retired from active ' hfe with the intention of spending his remain ing years ir. comfort and quite ease. He was, we uf.dcsrtanii, a teiative of Cuief Justice Y.ia;v"a, and has left a maiden sister vrhc resides n 'bis city. It Is- thought temporary insanity was the cause of this melancholy case of self dc-s'r action. * SENATOR WILSON ON OLD BROWN'S CASK.
