We have, now, di. posed of two of the three clauses of the Constitution, which are assumed to be pro-slavery, viz : the appottionment clause, and the migration aed importation clause. The third refers to fugitive servants, but certainly not to fieritive slaves. Whether we look at th,rlittter or his tory of this clause, it can have no reference to slaves. No one pretends that slaves are expressly and clearly d fined in it ; and, hence, according to the rule of the Supreme Court, which I have quoted, - slaves are not refereed to in it. Again, none deny that the terms of the clat• _e. make it applicable to apprentices, minor chil dren, and others. All admit that, in the most natural use of language, it is capable of innocent applicationS. The clause, under consideration, speaks of a "person held to service or labor in One State, under the laws thereof." Now, unless these laws are for slavery, the "service or labor" cannot be slavery,—and if they aro •': '''::.-:".— • - - - f:'" .: - .C...;..: .. -75.."...131.,: 1.4:,7:: - .flll ir A. 2 `.",` - .. 1.7:....1C .3.: : :72 , ..'... • , , 2-11...,..... - -.. .7 - , . . . . , I.* , -.1 • .. ~ . . .

If ,the ..Constitution -is against slavery, then pro-slayeay laws are but nominal laws. It Will be more timely at the close of my arg,t — unent than now, to av whether the Constitn - thin is agaiiot or ihr slavery.. In" the next place, the clause speaks of a /ci sod. hut, as we shall more folly see, there are rights claimed for' persons' by the Con-titution itself, which 'must all be trodden under foot, befhie persons can be reduced to slavery, Another reason why the fugitives referred to in this clause are not slaves, i:, that "service or labor" is " due" to their employer from these fugitives. •But slaves, by every Ainerican• definition . of slaves, are as incapable of owing as are horses, or even horse-blocks. So, too, by every English definition of slaves. Says Justice Best, in case of Forbes vs. Cohran: "A slave is inca pable of compact." And another rea son why this clause cannot refer to slaves, is, that the fugitives in, it are held by the laws of labor. But slaves, no mule than oxen, are held by the laws of labor. The laws no inure in terpo-e to compel labor in the one case than in the other. And still. an other reason why this clause is not to be taken as referring to slave., is the ah...nrdity of supposing that our fitthers cee(sehted to treat at slaves whatever pertsolis, white or black, high or boy, virtuous or vicious, any future laws of any State might declare to be slaves. i , Shall we of the N,:ith be bound to acquie: ce in the slavery of our chil dren, who may emigrate to the South, provided the laws of the South shall declare Northern emigrants to he slaves ? Nay, more, shall we be hound to replunee those children into 'slavery. if they c-cape from it But all this we shall be hound to do, if the pro-slavery - interpretation (tithe clause in quo- thin is the true interpret:l6mi. Ay, a: d in that case, we shall be bound to justhy even our own slavery,should we he caught at the South, and legis lated into slavety. This intimation, that slavery may yet take a much wider ramie in supplying itself with victims, is, by no means, extravagant and unautin The Supreme Court of the United States opened a wide do.,r to this end, in the ca . se . of Strode?. and ° fliers against Gorhom,some three years afro. In, that ca,e, the Court claimed'" that a State has an undoubted right to determine the xtaills, or do mestic and social condition, of the per- . sons domiciled within its ten itory." By the way, this doctrine of the Su preme Court, that there are no natu ral lights; and that all ri . : , :hts stand but in . the concessions and uncertain ties of human is a legiti mute"out,jrowth of slavery. For sla very i, a war upon nature, and is the devourer of the lights of nature; and claims that all lights and all interests, natural and conventitNal, 'shall accom modate themselves to its demands. We need spend no more time - ou the letter of this clause. We, will, now, look at its history. It is afwell-nigh universal impres:in, that this chose is one of the compromises of the Con stitution. But•there is not the slight e-t inundation in truth for this impres i 11. In none of the numerous plans or a Constitution, submitted to its framers, was the suhject-matter of this clause mentioned. Indeed, it was not m.nitioned at all, until twenty days b,•tOre the close of the Convention. T i elaure. when it, insertion was first wed, contained the word " slave." B it, with that word in it, it met with such sti minim , opposition, as • to corn pe the immediate withdrawal. of the Awn. The next day„ In,wever, it wis offered again, but with the word "slave" snuck otit. In this amended and harmless flam, it was adopted immediately, without debate, and titian- I add, by the way, that no °Le believes that a clan:e pioviding, in express terms, for the surrender of the whole American soil to the elms kg down and enslaving of men, wo men, and children, could ever have gained the vote of the Convention ; or Vat, _if it had, the Constitution, with such a disgusting blot upon it, could ever ha);e-liten adopted. Another rPason for not claiming this clause to be pro-slavery, is, that the American people did, in all probability, regard the word " service"• as • ex pressing the condition of freemen. I So. as we have seen, the members of the Constitutional ConVention regarded it and, inasmuch as they came -to gether from all parts of the country, and represented all classes and sec tions of the American people, - is it not a fair inference that they used lan guage in the sense approved by the American people? We have, now, examined those parts of the Constitution which are relied on to give it a pro-slavery char acter ; and we find that they are not DEyoiEwro pal[Ncw4E..s or. DEMOCRACY, AND .

"The United States shall guar= cinty to erery State in . this Union a republienn form ty* gorernment. It is ,a common. opinion. that the General Government should not con cern itself with the internal policy and - arrangements" of a State. But this opinion is not justified by the Consti tution. The case may occur, where the neglect thus to concern itsellwould involve its own ruin, as well as the greatest wrong to the people of the State. How could the General Go vernment he maintained, if in one State suffrage were universal, and in anothet conditioned' on the possession offend, attain another on theposession of money, and in another on the pos session of slaves, and in another on - the possession of literary or scientific attainments, and in another on the possession of a prescribed religious creed, , and if in others it were condi tioned on still Other possessions -and , attainments ?

How great would he the discord in out National Councils! . 1 - low speedy the ruin t/ur National and subor dinate interests .

This only proves that." all what' kve copied from the Tribune," was copied with a singidar lack of intellieguce even fbr the Express, All thelaffirna tions of. the ,'Tribune and :its corres pondents, were perfectly confirmed by the litter of the Pati iot ,quegtion, while that letter stated . other facia'br great Conseiiiimice, to Which the Ea. 4 press and:'all other journals would .do well earnestly to direct the attention of their readers. It al pears, we have always supposed and stated, that nen. Cazneau has made a Convention with the Dominican Government lowing Ametirans to buy and hold lands and work mines in Dominica without being naturalized; it is also true that the same Gnvernment has granted to the:United States . the right to establislLnaval or military &pots on the north-eastern portiott.of the island, and this is the whole of "all what we copied from the Lunt:NE." The . treaty which the. Patriot's corL re dent states to have failed from the adjoutlllllent of the Dominican Congre-s was one for the annexation "f that Republic to the United States, and this treaty, .according to the same will-inibrmed writer, was shaped out by President Pierce. Thus nothing but fears of invasion from Hayti, excited in the Dominican Legislature by the British Consul, prevented the ad”ption of this treaty and the annex ation of Dominica at - the next session of Congress, always - supposing that the body which made the Nebraska Lill the law of the land would not be qualmish about extending to Domin ica the same great pkinciple of squat ter sovereignty and, universal slave driving. And in this tian , action Pres ident Pierce is so far involved that he shaped out the treaty under which it was to be consummated. But that treaty having failed we are now to have it diluted into a Convention for the recognition of that negro govern: ment and, the filibusterin g of the is land, or at least of the Dominican pat tof it. Is the Express in favor of that measure!—\..Y. Tribune. A:country gentleman lately arrived in Boston, and immediately repaired to the house of a relative, a lady Who had married a merchant of that city. The parties were glad to see him, and invited him to make their house his home, as he declared his intention of remaining in the city but a day ur two. The husband of the lady, auxiOus tri show his attention to a relative and friend of his wife, took the gentleman's horse to a livery stable in Hanover at. Finally the visit became a visitation, and the merchant, • after the lapse of eleven days, found.besides lodging and boarding the gentleman, a pretty con siderable bill had run up at the livery stable. Accordingly he went to the man who kept the livery stable and told him when the " gentleman -took his horse he would pay the bill. "Very good," said the stable keeper, "I understand you." . In a short time the country gentle man went to the stable and ordered hi; horse to be got ready. The bill, of cours-e, was presented. " Oh !" said the gentleman, "Mr.— my relative, will pay this."
