SLAVER! AND OUR RELATION TO
IT.
The Constitution of the United States
was framed under peculiar circumstances
and is of peculiar character. The Con
vention that gave it existence was com
posed of Delegates from thirteen States,
eleven of which were slave and two free,
or two in which slavery was in proCess of
extinction. Whatever might have been
the views of these men as to the right or
wrong of slavery, (and there were, beyond
dispute, varied and conflicting opinions
on the subject,) they dealt with it in a
practical, common-sense way. It was a
Colonial institution, established by their
fathers, and was regarded by a large por
tion of the people and a large majority of
the States as intlispensib!e to the develop.
went of the country. They did not ask
that it eliould be made national, however ;
but insisted that it was a local or State
institution, and should remain such, and
that the Federal Government should have
as little as possible to do with it. The
only clauses in the Constitution concern•
ing it were three; one legalizing the slave
trade for twenty years, another determin
ing the ratio of representation for slave
population, and another providing for the
rendition of fugitives from service or labor.
These clauses may be styled the compro
mises of the Constitution. Without their ;
insertion, neither the Constitution nor
the Union that grew out of it would,
in all probability, ever have had an ex
istence. Once adopted, in a spirit of con
ciliation and concession, (and such was
the spirit of the immortal conclave of
sages that framed the sacred instrument,)
le became the plain duty, and to onr view
dip evident interest, of the fathers of the
Constitution to observe, in good faith, every
partsof it,—to discharge every obligation
it imposed. The accommodation they bad
made . °I their differences was the very con
dition of the Union. Unless they respect
ed the express understanding they had,
and performed every duty that understand
ing enjoined, they had no ground to hope
for the perpetuity of the Union, or of the
Admirable system of government they had
established. If such, then, were the duty
of the heroes and sages who framed our
Constitution, is it not also and equally ours?
For are we not their heirs and representa
tives f Have they not bequeathed these
institutions to us as an inestimable legacy,
and with them the obligations they vol
untarily assumed in originating and or
daining them? And can we justly lay
claim to the benefits and blessings they
confer, without faithfully discharging
every obligation they impose ? The an
swer will be on every honest man's lip,
and we leave him to make it.
• The Federal Government having no con
',trot of slavery, and no authority over it,l
'farther than to see that the Constitutional
'rights of the States in which it exists are
'respected, it follows that all attempts to
'abolish it or interfere with it, on the part!
of .Congress or the Executive, are wholly
unauthorized and indefensible. Even the
plea of military necessity will not excuse
,them, as it would justify as well every
r;vasion of the rights of the States and the
people, however dangerous or fatal to lib-
Tedieregard and override the soy
ereiety'of the Staten or Ow people, in the
subject matters .of which the fundamental
l aw siro4 t item. absolute and supreme con
trol.oiteta change, totally, the, genius of
our goretrdeeet;ancFto: itraizekom it into
a centjal,despotient. Who is prepared for
cacti'' s ehangef and what real patriot
does nak wham qvlrr AO in diree
tion with the gravest alarm sod apprehen
sion ?
The limits of Federal acid State authori
ty over the institution of elavevy are not
more clearly defined than the duty toward
it of citizens of States in which it does not
prevail. Being the creature of local law,
existing nowhere without the sanction of
organic or statute law, it must be palpable;
to the dullest intellect that under our po-
Etical system no citizen of Pennsylvania
can have any authority over slavery in
South Carolina or Kentucky, or any right-1
ful or potential voice in creating or abut- I
ishing it in either of those States, or in any
State of the Union. Our political duties
confine us to our State limits, save in al
lowing us to vote in the selection of our t
Federal rulers, who, we have already
shown, have no right, under the Cowstku-
Lion, to meddle with slavery in the States.
As we have no part or lot in the choice of
rulers and law-givers for the people of
State in which we have no residence, we
can have no voice in the adoption of their
laws and in the training of their institu
tions, This being indisputably true, the
conclusion is inevitable that if their laws •
or institutions are bad and wicked, it is not
our fault, and no moral or legal responsi
bility attaches to us in the premises. If
slavery is wrong or sinful, it is the wron.q.
and sin of the citizens of the State in which
it exists, and who alone have the right to
abolish or establish it. Or if, on the con
trary, it is right and scriptural, and a
benefit and blessing, it is their blessing,
uot ours. From this reasoning, which we
hold is correct and irresistible, another
conclusion. may be distinctly and fairly de
duced, and that is, that no good citizen is in
the plain line of his duty who interferes with
the concerns or institutions of a Stole of which
he is not a resident. More especially is such
intermeddling improper and unpardona
ble, when neither his interest nor happi
ness are or can be affected or prejudiced
by those institutions. And here we have
the germ of our sectional troubles. In
lthis very thing originated the dissensions
eade animosities which have scourged us
I with a civil war the most terrible and des
lolating the world has ever seen. But for
Abolition agitators here at the North,
who for thirty years have been sowing the
sleds of hatred and strife by unwarrant
able intermeddling with the affairs and in
stitutions of other States, we might have
been still a united, peaceful and prosper
ous people. To these restless and uneasy
fanatics and pseudo philanthropists, and to
slavery propagandists at the South, are we
indebted for the incalculable and deplora
ble mischiefs now upon our country.
OBEY THE LAWS.
We counsel our Democratic friends to
obey the laws. No matter how hard or
oppressive you may regard them, submit
to them, until they are untended, pro
nounced unconstitutional, or repealed.—
Well and truly does the Somerset Democrat
remark that the Democratic party has
always been on the side of law and order.
It has always contended fur those great
and inestimable rights which are guaran
teed to the people by the fundamental law
of the land; and now, in the darkest hour
of our country's history, whilst wicked
and ambitious partisans, fanatics and ex
treme men, North and South, are striking
down our ancient, God-given rights with
ruthless hands, it is pre-eminently the du
ty of that grand old party to maintain
them at all hazards and at every sacri
fice,
! To our Democratic friends we would
say, Be patient and forbearing. Let not
the taunts and reproaches of the Aboli
tionists, and the hirelings of place and
power, provoke you to violence or any
manner of lawlessness. Let all the out
rages upon common decency, upon law
and order, freedom of the press, freedom
of speech, trial by jury, and all constitu
tional rights, be credited to the Abolition
ists, the 'loyalists" par excellence. As
long as we have the right of the ballot
box, we have a most formidable weapon
against tyranny, oppression and wrong,
the sword or the torch, and when that
great, indefeasible and indispensable right
is once violated, then every citizen is jus
tified in resorting to force in defence of
his rights. We must look to the ballot
box tor the retnedy of every evil, It is the
only safe and legitimate corrector of every
public wrong. By its mighty power we
must purge the statute books of all the un
constitutional and oppressive laws which
the Abolitionists put there. By the euffra
ges of freemen we must hurl from power
the corrupt, base and insolent imbeciles
who trample the liberties of the People in
the dust, and mock at their calamities.—
I W e urge upon the Democrats obedience to
law, because we feel assured Utley would
be as regardless of law as the Abo
litionists, there would be a revolution in
the North to day ; violence and blood-shed
would mark every hearth-stone in the
land. Although our dearest rights are
violated, and oar country is deluged with
fraternal blood, let us yet trust that un
der God's Providence we may, as a na-
Lion and a people, survive the terrible
crisis which unprincipled, scheming, mer
cenary demagogues and negro-crazed fan
atics, have brought upou us.
ANOTHER SPEECH.
Lincoln is greatly given to letter-writing
and speechifying. He haranged a crowd
that called on him on the 4th of July and
insisted that "all men were equal." It
may be they are, but sensible people
"'can't see it."

I .
CAPT. WM. C. LINSEY.
Since the publication of our last paper,
we have received ,a more detailed account
of the netion in which this gallant young
officer tell. He was in command of a
battalion of Cavalry, and was ordered to
make a charge into Hagerstown, which
was held by a considerable force of Stu
art's Rebel Cavalry. The Rebel officers,
from the house-tops, watching the move
ments of our cavalry, and anticipating an
attack, dismounted a portion of their
men, and placed them in 11 ouses along
the street, with instructions to pick off'
our o titers. The Rebel Cavalr, was
massed in Potomac street, where it is in
tersected by the National road. Captain
LINDSEY charged down the National road
at the head of his battalion a full
gallop. The Rebels opened a rapid tire
on the advancing column, and the color
! bearer, TuomAs E.tcoN, was shot dead
just as it reached the street. Right into
the rebel lines our brave fellows dashed,
and a desperate hand-to-hand conflict en-
Eted. Capt. LINDSEY fought with distin
guished gallantry. Unhorsing his first
assailant by a sabre blow, he soon became
engaged with - three mounted rebels.—
I Sinwle handed he fought them with a
heroism which promised to be successful,
!until he received a shot in the left side of
the thrott. lie reeled in his saddle, but
!did not then fall. His horse turned down
South Potomac Street. The rebels fol
lowed, and were joined by a fourth one,
who shot the Captain through the body.
A short distance farther he fell from his
horse, and a citizen going out into the
street, found he was dead. Thus passed
away the spirit of as brave and chivalric
;and accomplished an officer as ever drew
sword for his country.
The engagement continued for some time
longer: reinforcements came up on both
sides, and both struggled hard for the pos
session of the town. With the Rebels it
was of vital importance to hold the place,
as their retreating army had not yet come
up, and the town lay directly upon their
line of retreat. Our troops made a second
charge up the street, and drove the
rebels for some distance before them, but
being greatly outnumbered, they at length
were forced to retreat. We lost many
valuable officers, who were picked off by
the sharpshooters. The Rebel comman
der, Brig. Oen. Davis, was taken priso
ner, and the loss on each side was about
equal.
The Eastern papers speak iu warm
terms of the bravery of our battalion
which made the charge, and of the gal
lantry of Capt. LINDSEY, who led it. His
body was kindly cared for by some citi
zens of Hagerstown, and decently buried.
His brother, Judge LINDSEY, went out
and had the remains brought home. On
Thursday, the 23d, they were interred at
Jefferson. The Free Masons, the Odd
Fellows, the Members of the Bar, and a
great concourse of citizens formed :he
funeral cortege, and their presence testi
fied their high regard for the deceased.
He was, indeed, loved by all who knew
him.; and in his early death the commu
nity has suffered a loss which cannot be
easily repaired.

OALL AND GET YOUR DEEDS.
Recorder Alms informs us that the re
are no less than 300 Deeds belonging
to property holders in this county in his
office. In cases of a Rebel raid, these
Deeds, as well as the publ:c records,
might be destroyed; and it is important to
the holders of these conveyances that
they should have them in their own pos
session in such an event. Let I ersons in
terested call at once on the Recorder and
lift their Deeds, as he is not and will not be
responsible longer for their safe keeping.
If you cannot come for theta yourself,
send for them by your neighbor.
GOV. SEYMOUR.
In a late letter to the Democrats of
Orange county, New York, Gov. Seymour
says
"It is now apparent to all, that our
country can only be saved by harmonius
action among the people of the North. It
is equally clear that harmonious action
can only be had upon one platform ; and
that platform is—the Union, the Consti
tution and respect for the laws. Har
mony can never be made by threats, de
nunciations, or unconstitutional arrests
of persons or seizure of property. It is
easier for the Government to impose such
illegal practices, than it is for a free peo
ple to submit to them."

NEW CARPET STORE.
The location of the public buildings of the
General Government on Filth'street, and
the natural expansion of the city beyond
the narrow bound of the rivers, had the
etfect of transferring certain departments
of trade from other localities to this
street. This change in the activi•ies of
business has led the property holders to
displace old unsightly buildings, and erect
elegant and costly edifices, to accommo
date the wants of the people, and keep
pace with the modern improvements of
the day.
Among the beautiful structures that
grace that short bustling thoroughfare, is
Lyon's large iron fronted building, sand
wiched between the Post Office and Dis
patch buildings. The first story is occu
pied by Henry Miner, Periodical dealer.
The spacious room on the second floor has
been suitably fitted up for the new carpet
establishment of McFarland, Collins &
Co., just opened for business. The room
is easy of access by a wide stairway, and
beautifully lighted with fifteen windows,
and admirably adapted both in beightli
and width to the purpose. Goods can be
seen to better advantage than is usually
the case in such establishments, owing to
the superior provision of light in every
part of the room. This elegant house is
located just on the walk of the multitudes
that throng that side of the street.
The new firm have a most complete and
attractive assortment of new and fresh
goods, which have been selected with great
care in the eastern cities by the managing
member of the house, Mr. McFarland,
who has had an extensive experience and
thorough acquaintance with the business
before the opening of this establishment.
From the rapid manner which the goods
have been sold since its opening, about a
month ago, and the success which has
thus far attended the enterprise, doubtless
the foundation has been laid for a most
extensive and profitable trade hereafter.—
The members of the firm are well known
in this community as men of strict integ
rity and business capacity. As it is their
purpose to be permanently in the business,
they will undoubtedly in time secure their
full share of the trade of Pittsburgh and
neighborhood. Persons in want of goods
in their line will do well to give them a
call, and examine their stock before pur
chasing elsewhere.—Pittsburgh. Gazette.
SENATORIAL NOM' N ATION.
Col. William Hopkins, of Washington

Hopkins is one of the r.blest Legislators
and purest patriots in Pennsylvania. He
will be elected by about 3,000 majority,
and will take the place of the late Repub

ANOTHER EDITOR ARRESTED.
11. J. STAHL; Esq., editor and proprie

in Fort McHenry.
We learn with much pleasure from a
postcript in the Compiler of Monday, that
Mr. STAHL& has been released, and return.
ed to his home on Sunday evening. We
shall probably have from his own pen an
account of his experiences as a prisoner
and of his release from the bastile.

districts, and was drafted in both. There
are two or three such cases.
