It Was made, if our memory serves us right, about the time of the passage of the Kansas-Ne braska bill ; and the South were then war ned, in and out of Congress, that their continued aggressions would, era long, pro voke the North to extreme measures, in maintenance of their just rights. Since that the Missouri Compromise has been overthrown by act of Congress, and that overthrow sustained by the Supreme Court of the United States; and in the Passmore 1 Williamson case Judge Crier decided that ! slaves were not entitled to their freedom, when voluntarily brought into a free State by their master, notwithstanding State laws to that effect. Tnese two decisions taken together, give the sluveholder the right to hold his slaves as his property anywhere in the United States—corning right up to the doctrine of Mr. Calhoun, that wherever the Comtitmion extends, there Slavery may of right exist, indepen dent of any State or National legislation. The two decisions, then, give Mr Toombs the right to muster his slaves um poi' the sacred soil of Bunker Hill, and there hold them in deliaticn or any Na tional or state laws; and that shout of de rision ha's suddenly been turned into an exclamation fif few and sorrow ! .
