right to purchase and hold this property
is directly sanctioned and authorized
for twenty years by the people who
framed the constitution; and by the
second, they pledge themselves to main
tain and uphold the right of the master
in the manner specified as long as the
government they then formed should
endure: and these two provisions show
conclusively that neither the description
of persona therein referred to, nor their
descendants, were embraced in any of
-the other provisions of the constitution:
for certainly these two clauses were not
intended to confer on them or their
posterity the blessings of liberty, or any
-of the personal rights so carefully pro
lided for the citizen.
No one of that race had migrated to
the United States .voluntarily; all of
them had been brought here as articles
of merchandise. - The number that had
been emancipated at that time were but
few in -comparison with those held in
slavery; and they were-identified in the
public mind with the race to which they
belonged, and regarded as a part of the
slave.population rather than the free.—
It is Obvious that they were not even in
the minds of the framers of the consti
tution when they were conferring spa
clot rights and - privileges upon the citi
zens of a State in every other part of
the. Union
Indeed, when we look to the condi
tion of this race in the several States at
'the time, it is impossible to believe that
these rights and privileges were intend
ed to be extended to them.
It is very true that, in that portion of
the Union where the labor of the negro
race was found to be unsuited to the
-climate and unprofitable to the master,
but few slaves were held at the time of
the Declaration of Independence; and
when the constitution was adopted, it
had entirely worn out in one of them,
and measures had been taken for its
gradual abolition in several others.—
But this change had not been produced
by any change of opinion in relation to
this rase, but because it was discovered
from experience,that slave labor was
unsuited to the limate and productions
of these States; for some of the States,
where it had ceased or nearly ceased to
exist, were actively engaged in the slave
trade, procuring cargoes on the coast
of Africa, and transporting them for
sale to those parts of the .Union where
• their labors was found profitable, and
suited to the climate arid productions.—
And this traffic was openly carried on,
d Tortunes accumulated by it, without
~rtittch from the, people of. - the State
they resided. Arid' it can hardly
.. - 'llfP.;, yose d that in the
_State where it
* l4 ' l . oitnteriane.ediri its worst form
—that is the seizure and transporta
tion*-the'l 'de Could have regarded
those who WeNernancipated as entitled
to equal rights Allyhemseives.
, And we may here v'ain refer, in sup
port of this propositiork s to the plain and
unequivocal language - oeltre lawa - uf th
several States, some .passed after
Declaration of independence and b
the constitution was adopted, an
since the government went int
tion
.
We need not refer, on ' t +mt . , par
ticularly to the laws of th i resent ' slave.
holding States. Their' atutebooks are
full of provisions i
relation to this
class, in the same, trit with the Mary.
landlaw which have before quoted.
They have co nued t 6 treat them as
an inferior ss, and to subject them
to strict p fee regulations, drawing a
broad li of distinction between the
citize nd the slave raCes, and legislat
ingjri relation to them upon the same
pgificipl; which prevailed at the time of
the Declaration of Independence. As
related to these State, it is too plain for
argument, that they have never been re
gelded as a part of the. people or citi
zens of
any
State, nor supposed to pos
sess any political rights which the do.
minant-race Might not withhold or grant
at their pleasure. And as-long a 51822,
the court pf Appeals of Kentucky decid
ed that , free negroes and mulattoes were
not citizens within the meaning of the
constitution; of the United States; and
correctness of this decision is recognis.
ed, and the same doctrine affirmed, in 1
Meigs's Tenn. Reports, 331.
And if we turn to the legislation of
the States where slavery had worn out,
or measures taken for its speedy aboli.
tion, we shall find the same opinion
and principles equally fixed and equal
ly acted upop..
Thus, Massachusetts in' 1786, passed
aim - similar, to the colonial one of
which, we have Spoken. The law -of
1786, lake -the law of - 1705, forbids the
marriage of any white-person with any
negro, Indian, or mulatto, and inflicts
a.penalty-of--fifty-potinds upon any one
who shall join them in marriage- '
and
declares all - suoh marriages absolutely
null and void,"and degrades rhus the un
happy issue of the marriage by fixing
uppn if the. stain of bastardy. And this
mark ordegrailation was renewed, and
again impressed upon the race, in the
careful and deliberate preparation of
their revised code published in 1836.
This code forbids any person from join
ing,in marriage any white person with
any. Indian, negro, or mulatto, and sub
jects the party who shall offend in this
respect, to imprisonment, not exceeding
six•months, in the common jail, or to
hard labor,and to a fine of not less than
fifty nor more than two hundred dollars;
and, like the law of 1786, it declares
the marrage to be absolutely null and
void. . It will be seen that the punish• I
meet is increased by the coda upon'the
person-who shall marry them by adding
imprisonment to a pecuniary penalty.

The three political'. parties, who will

of settling their local tickets—re4dy for
the contest.
We propose, in fulfilling our dtity in

first place, but he;ngr provoked to it, i we
shall certainly not
.hesitate ,to threw
back the poisoned arrow, should any
such be.discharged at. us. There is, we
presume, no man in the community' who
has not some vulnerable point, and ed

one attack us without provocation, in
the stile of a blackguard, we shall an
swer the fool according to his folly, and
do our best to - strike as hard blows as ,
we receive. We have further reap! vp ,
to'stand by our friends in like ma _ or:
and 'having always hitherto tte on

our readers, whether frie or foes,

Among the most unwielding and
stoutest of its planks, is that which is
rarely found' absent from it, the expres
sion of praiSe and thanks to a good and
faithful servant of its principles, 'when
called for by,the occasion. The Dern
ocratic party is too pnwerful , to - be su
perfluous. Therefore, tyheh it-speaks,
it is listened to, with respect. Jr is
well known, to all who hear its thUnder
tones of censure rolling through the po
litical atmosphere, that the levin.bolt
has fallen on some proud head. Even
its silence or coldnesaAs significant, 7 7
Men weigh the words it has chosen,
carefully. When its voice is heard in
praise and approval, it is the sweetest
music that can reach' the humametii—
"Well done, thou good and faithful ser
vant," from its authentic representatives
is always a suf f icient reward for years of
painful labor, whilst to the younger as
pirant, it is the sure proof, that his ser
vices are appreciated, and that the path
to fame and honor is, ate length, opened
to his ardent steps. •
The venerable Chief 'Justice Lewis,
and the no less distinguished, though
younger Justice Black, must have read
the following resolution with profound •
emotions':
"Resolved: That the Judicial character of Penn
"sylvanim has derived additional lustre from the
"eminent Abilities Mid It:tuning of judges Lewis
"an&Black, whose suCeessors we have this day
"nominated: that the.one who retires to private
"life, carries with him the respect - and esteem, both,
"of the professiim with'which hie'duties associated
"him, and of the. people 'whom be served, and
"whilst we did regret.to ..,lose-tife other . from: : th e
"Bench, we express our gratillautton thothiS end
"mint abilities have been brought into requisition
"in the National Cabinet."
We own, we think, as is the case with
most of the resolutions passed on this
occasion, that the thoughts might have
been more happily expressed in this one,
although the language is sufficiently ex.
plicit. It is probable they were hurriedly
drawn, inasmuch, as none were offered
or referred at the morning session of
the Convention, or indeed, so far as the
proceedings show, until the Committee
on Resolutions reported.
Well drawn or not, the sentiments are
unexceptionable, the facts adduced true,
and the compliment well-deserved.. Few
men, in or out of the state, have ever
excelled either of the gentlemen named
in learning, whilst their abilities, from
an early, day in their career, secured
_
them a commanding position, and even
tually lead them to the highest .honors
of the profession. So universal has
been the expression of regit„ at the
declination of the Chief Justice, from
all quarters, and of. every shade of opin
ion, that he has been heard to say, that
if he had been aware of the estimation
in which his services were held, he. ,
might have reconsidered his decislan.
The modesty, and honest desire to,Serve

I'
It struc
s as singular, and to some
extent s ficant, in reading over the
' y
reso i t l i ons of the-Con vention,that Judge
Bla s appointment should be the only
1: , of
those distributed by the National t
dministration,tunong.st Pennaylvanians
selected by the Convention for approval.
Our recollection is, that it is customary
for the State Convention, which meets
.next after the appointments are made,
to express its opinion. Perhaps it was
thought best, as .a few still remain Un
filled, to leave that question untouched
for the present. Perhaps it was felt to
be imprudent to raise it at- all, until
men's minds were cooled a little by
time, and the pressure of new issues.--
Whatever may have been the reason for
its silence, on the topic, generally, no
man who knows the genial, hearty,
straight-forward temper, the clear, pen
etrating intellect, the lucid and flowing
pen, and the close logic of J. S. - Black,
interspersed as it is with 'the most telling
humor and brilliant metaphor, will know
well,why it spoke with regard to him.
.Judge Black-is not, nor can he soon
be, a good politician. lie knows little *

The Farms consist of the best limestone soil of the

abundance of the best quality of Coal and lren. The
price to buy it out is from "$,3 to S7M per acre, payable by
instalments, to be located at the time of purchasing. or
a share of 23 acres entitling to locate the same for $3OO.

for over $lOO a discount of 10 percent.
In considering the advantages of emigrating to this I e

First—The soil is a rich limestone. capable of raising
the heaviest crops, owing to which this settlement has
attained its present great prosperity. -
Second—lt is the centre of the great North West Coal

Werespectfully call the attention of persons a

now much used throughout the principal cities of
the' nited States an&their vicinities. This mode
of roofing having' fill the Combined requisites of
cheapness, Durability, and Security against Fire
and Water, and dispensing with high gablewalls;
the roofs require an inclination of not more than
three-quarters (I) of an inch to the foot, and in
many cases saving .. the entire cost, of rafters—the
coiling joist, being used.
The gutters are-made of the same material,
withoht any extra .charges.;, consequently, our
roofs arelput up at almost half the cost of either
Tin,.Slatc, or Shingles. The material being of
an' mperishable nature, it surpasses all others in
Durability ;—besides, in ease of any casualty, it
is the most easily repaired of an: -
in use. ',Yet, the best proof we el
