The Intelligencer, in an article headed « The Mecklenburg Declaration,”’ takes up the interesting historical question as to the au- thenticity of this “‘declaration,’’ and the cor- responding question as to which State—North Carolina or Virginia—belongs the honor of priority in moving for a separation from Great Britain. The Inteiegencer says: 2 = little disposition to enter the lists to this b nrical controversy save only for the purpose of suggesting to the partisans of either side that all such questions of ‘ priority as to the utterance of sentiments with which the popular mind at any period is teeming are aptto receive an attention beyond their in- res ic im Whether Newton or Leib- ght in our mathematical schools is a ques- which long divided and alienated the lish and French academies' Whether Le Verrier or his British cotemporary and brother astronomer, Adame, first divined the exist- ence of the planet Neptune is still sab dite. But, beyond a merely persona! interest, what do such controversies signify? Simply this, that the merit of any great discovery in sci- ence is not to be monopolized by a single in- dividual, since every such diseovery always results more from the general status of science than from the extraordinary sagacity of one of its cultivators. And that which is true in science may with still greater generality be efirmed of a great political movement up- heaving a whole continent and ready to break forth at many points simultaneously.’’ Reciting what appears to be the main facts in the case, a3 gleaned from the testimony of both parties to tie historical controversy, the Intelligencer concludes “ that there was only one ‘ Declaration of Independence’ made by the citizens of Mecklenburg, and that is to be found in the ‘ Resolves’ passed on the 31st of May, 1775; and if this was not a ‘formal’ declaration, it was at least in advance of any that had been hitherto promulged among the insurgent colonists—an historical pre-emi- nence which moay be justly awarded to North Carolina without robbing Virginia of ber ‘ Benjamin’s portion’ in the glories of the Revolutionary era.”’ The Intelligencer thinks the resolutions adopted by the “‘ Whig National Convention”’ are, ‘‘in the main, satisfactory.”” The Union, in noticing the enthusiastic as- semblage of the Pennsylvania Democracy to commemorzte the anniversary of the adoption of the Federal Constitution, regards it as peculiarly appropriate that the Democracy should celebrate the birth-day of constitution- al freedom, and says : “‘ Since first that greatest work of human wisdom was offered to the free and sovereign States of the Union it was to form, the Demo- cratic party has been its constant and un- changing friend. With jealous eyes it has watched over, and with a strong arm and fear- less heart has repelled every attempt at en- croachment upon its slightest provision From the days of Jefferson until this good hour, the Democracy have known but one faith, have ecoupied but one position With the consti- tation they arose; with the Union which the constitution created, which the constitution maintains, they have prospered ; with the fall of the constitution they fal), but not until then ; for, while the constitution is left, there will ever be a Democratic party to uphold and defend it. We have suid that in this dark and trying hour, when the most buoyant hopes are drooping, when, flushed with phren- #y and maddened with lust for plunder, a strong and reckless faction is assaulting the desrest and moat sacred of our institutions, it is ere — and =e Pleasure that We witness the outpouring of the patriot masses in honor of the constitution.” , ———— ee WAEHINGTON NEWS AND GossiP. Slave Representation in Congress —The three-fifths representation of slaves provided in the constitution is generally regarded as a conceasion made by the North to secure that Lermovy without which the constitution itself could never have been formed. Even Story has taken this view, and says that «“ though seen to be unequal in its operation, it was a neces- Sary sacrifice to that spirit of conciliation on which the Union was founded.”’—(Commen. on Const. s 642.) It is well known that in the convention whieh framed the constitution great differ- ences of opinion and interests prevailed upon two points. These were, first, as to equality of repregentation in both branches of Congress, for which tho smaller States contended ; and secondly, a5 to representation of slaves—the Southern States contending that the entire number of slaves ought to be represented, and the Northern that as slaves were proper- ty they were no more entitled to Tepresenta- tion than other species of property, These differences were compromised by the adoption of the provisions now found in the Constitution. We maintain that, on the latter point, the concession was made chiefly by the South. The mere statement of the question shows that there was concession on bech sides, as the views of neither finally prevailed. Why, then, is it called exclusively a Northern concession, unless it be said that the demands of the South were so preposterous as to werit no consideration? But is it sy? Although slaves are property, they are oortainly per- fons as well, and are recognized ag such by the laws They form the mass of the laboring population of the South ; and, as auch, fill tha place which otherwise would be ccqupied by freemen. if, then, population be taken as the basis of representation, as it is in republican governments, it is proper that the entire population be considered. We, therefore, claim that slaves ought to be represented in their relation as persons, al- though they may sustain another relation as property. In like manner, minor ehildren are enumerated as persons constituting a por- tiom of the population to be represented per captta, although their Parents possess a species of property in their Services. So, too, with regard to apprentices who owe service to their masters in precisely the same manner and de- ave as slaves, except as to the duration of such services. In aii these cases, the two re- lations cf property and persons ought to be kept distinct; and it is only in the latter oa. pacity that slaves are represented at all. Taking this view, we think that the consent of the South to a curtailed representation of its sieve population was @ concession of great magnitude, made, in 4 spirit of patriotic de- votion, for the common interest and welfare. If the three millions of slaves were declared free to-morrow, they would become entitled to full enumeration, ard the South would thereby receive an addition of about thirty-five mem- bers to the House of Representatives yet the Population in that section would be wesaleal the same in both cases. = Consistency !—The delegates to the late Rational Whig Convention were Scorchingly ardent in the expression of their devotion to the principles which characterised the Whig |(JENTLEMEN’S DRESS SHIRTS.— party, and extravagantly profase in expres: sions of devotion to that organisation. But the result of their labors isthe nomination or endorsement of a Presidential candidate who belongs to the Know Nothing party ; one who has so effectually cut himself loose from Whig ties that the Natsonal Intelligencer, and other respectable WA7g organs, cannot give to him their support. And they have like- wise endorsed Andrew Jackson Doneison, a name which ex-Governor Trimble said wag not very popular in Ohio. It is certain that Donelson never was a Whig. This is a text which carries with it a com- mentary involving the subject of profession versus practice. Relations with England.—When our Gov- ernment gave to Mr. Crampton and certain British Consuls their ‘‘ walking papers,’’ for their violation cf our neutrality laws, the Ad- ministration was severely abused by those who, emelling gunpowder and hearing the clashing of steel afar off, lost sight of the righteousness of the proceeding which the na- tional honor, in that case, imposed. And, too, the judicious and manly stand on the Central American question served as a phan- tom to “‘ fright the souls’’ of nervous and timid political ‘‘ Bloomers.’’ But subsequent events have served to convince even those fault-find- ers and scandalizers that the President of the United States was right, although they may be reluctant to admit that their former fears were groundless. The sequel is, according to the confident assertions of the English news- papers, that a new Minister has been ap- pointed, in the place of Mr. Crampton, and that (as we learn privately from a reliable source) the projet of a treaty between Great Britain and the United States on the Central American question, has recently been cor- summated. That Coalition in Pennsylvania.—Things don’t seem to ‘ work’’ in the Keystone State to the satisfaction of the Know Nothing wire- pullers who have been trying to bring about acoalition with the Fremont party in the shape of an electoral ticket to be composed of an equal number of Fillmore and Fremont men. The Philadelphia United States Gazette (Fremont) denounces thig “ chaffering,”’ and gays: “No such bargain a3 this would be satie- ae toeither party. It is high time that the Republicans should know where they stand in Pennsylvania. They should meet in their respective districts, and either call upon the State Committee to frame a ticket or nom- inate electors by districts themselves. Things at present look very much as though some members of the secret Know Nothing order had managed to get the control of the committee, and were using it to forward the purposes of their own party.”’ Democratic Congressional Nominations — The Hon. John Kelly has been renominated, unanimously, to represent the fourth congres- sional district, New York, and Hon. Wm. B. Maclay the fifth. The Hon. Jno Wheeler received the unanimous vote of the convention in the sixth district, but he declined the nom* ination, and John Cochrane was then selected asthecandidate. The Hon. Hiram Walbridge and Daniel E. Sickles, Esq., are the contest- ants for the honor of a nomiaation in the third district. Elijah Ward is the candidate forthe seventh district. the Current Oauranong of the Treasury O+partment.—On yesterday, 18th September, there wore ef Treasury warrante entered on the books of the Department.
