The n slave trade could be provided for without peril or encroachment, its abolition being wiaia ae control of the general government as an affair foreign ocmmeneroe, It ws, therefore, regulated and virtually abolished, pr pectively, in the constitution itself, But the institution of slavery, in each State, could be regulated only by it- self, without making each a slave to the rest, and could not'at once, and over the whole Union, be voluntarily abandoned, without imminent ir to life, liberty. and roperty ef the white population, by letting loose ti tne fern code Urpek of fauaticism, combined with extreme igno- a eines * * * Without enter we the question of abstract rights, but recognising the property claimed by others, else- where, in this cl heat rons, a4 is done through Remco ts of the censtitution—and solemnly ,caeaaing as . to aid its restoration, when escaping: id only what, the fraternal feelings ofall lead them to do, without: constitutional engagements and oaths, as to other pro- per. y—that is, to wid friends and neighbors in reguini: if lost—should it eseape into our boundaries. And if property existed in the service of even a white a child; or white apprentice—as it often does—it would be no less just and right to assist in its recovery, both at the South and the North. when appealed to by kindred blood anda kindred union, the hopes of the future, and the common triumphs and glories of the past. se reci- proce! duties must alvo be disel by deeds as well as Words—boldly, faithfully, with true loyalty to the Union, and not with evasion or procrastination, For if the pro- mise is kept only to the ear, and the pledges of the con- stitution not fulfilled honorably in acts to others, how can we stand ervct as a moral, honest, and manly people, or expect that the benefits of that constitution will be continued to ourselves in other respects—to our numer- ous privileges under it as to our commerce and rights; abroad, as Wellas at bome; and in war as well asin pence * * * It is ge to the Le es slaveholding States tei, that no censure can be cast on them for desiring the limitation and extinguishment of slavery. But when carrying these natural wishes into effect by legislation, so fur us regards their own States, the difficulty has been for them to act only within their own rightful powers, and not in conflict with (he spirit of their duties to the other States, the general government, and the Union. For, if legislating so as to prohibit any State officer in tie na private sapaallft og in 0 mithany heiem, (owing du- is often if not always the case, to the general go- von ‘fas well as the State,) from assisting to execute process fur the restoration of fugitives, it would trans- cend all lawful measures in principle. The charitable construction of the existing statutes seems to me, how- ever, to be that they intend to punish State officers only when acting as such officers, and not as citizens; else they would most unhappily come in direct eollision with other and permanent acts of Congress; and citizens rely- ing on them, and refusing aid, would find themselves in & most perilous position. Mistakes on this subject some- times arise from not distinguishing that a State officer, who holds his commission from the State, and is ac- countable to it, may not be obliged to perform official duties for the general government, from which he holds no commission; whereas a citizen and officer, as a citi- zen, owes allegiance and duties to both governments, neither can exonerate him from what is due to the other; but when each commands, the requisitions of the general, government are highest, or paramount. Indeed, in olden times, the riraight forward. good faith of our fathers, it is believed, in every State in New England, imposed an cath on every officer, which is still taken, however ful- filled by some, to support the constitution and the Union. Lcannet believe, therefore, that the legislative officers of any State have any where beon so forget- ful of fraternal feeling in our fraternal Union, as not only. ty legislation, to refuse its prisons for constitu- tional purposes, and to punish its judicial office rs for aiding the general government, or unish the owners of fugitives for arresting and Pact their services; butto punish,and understandingly mean to punish, the citizen or militia man, as such, for obeying the commands of the al to asvist in the service of ud State composing of this very government and its Union; and, by its Representatives and Senators in Con- gress, Aiding to pass these very laws for marshals, and to appoint and regulate this very marshai in all his official duties, and under th ‘tulton also aiding to disci- pline, im and gover very ioilitia, and thelr use, to elp to execute laws © onresisted And how unneces- tary or inconsistent would be the provision im the con- stitution itself to restore fugitives, and in the acts of inl precepts. This can hardly be credited to any vi Congrers ‘o hold marsbals liable for escapes and rescues | —provided they bad not the right to command from all citizens neoossary assistance! And who coiapose their posse commitatus? Who can they resort to for aid but the people of each district or State?—a people who be- long to the government of the Union as well as toa State, end who are often operated upon directiy aad indivi- dually by that government, And if each State can in this way legally exonerate ite people from obedience to | the fummons of the marshal, what becomes of the supre- macy of the laws of the Unicn, and how exposed on this «principle is every sacred and invaluable right enjoyed by ou and others under the wing of our Union ! Congress weet, the very first year of its exigténce, that every ‘shall have power to command all necessary ool in the execution of bis due (I Statute al 27 section of act of a. 3 789.)

Barber vs. Miles A. Bradley, for Obtaining Money under False Pre- tences.—Cross-examination of Benjamin F. Weymouth concluded.—This case was adjourned from the 11th inst. to the 14th, when it was again adjourned without any- thing being done, in conseqnence of the absence of the cownsel, who were engaged in another case. This day the case was resumed, and the question objected to by utgued by counsel om both sides, when the Justice de- | cided that the question should be put. Benjamin ¥., Weymouth was then asked—Haye you' been concerned with Bradley or either of the St. Johns in apy other a or business than this, within last year? And he answered “ No.” Q.—Have Fy] had any conversation or negotiation anc the first of January, 1850, with Bradley or either of the St. Johna, other than those you have detailed, res- preting the purchase of the Oxford Bank, or of sny Objected to by defendant's counsel, who said such columns of a newspaper, but they were out of place in that court. Mr. Reporter, don’t take down these private conversations, Reporter—I am only taking down that you object to the question, ‘The Justice decided the question should be answered. ‘The witness answered—I have had no negotiations with either of the parties. I have had conversations. [ have had ro conversations with Bradley respecting the Oxford Bank, unless those I have mentioned. 1 have had conversations with him about other banks. I hada conversation with him in relation to s bank in Geor; within the last six months, and since the termination the Oxford Bank negotiation. We spoke also of one in Maine, and Rhode Island. We spoke of getting a new charter for a bank in the State of Maine. Q.—What about Rhode Island ? Question objected to. Witness then said that he had no further conversation about « purchase, but he talked— ‘The witness was interrupted by defendant's counsel, on the ground that the question related to the ec | of banks, and not to everything about banks.

Cotnsel.— You have no right to take down private con- vereations. ‘Reporter.—There is nothing private in the matter. I have only taken down what has opealy transpired in | court, and T shall continue to do so.
