What wes the true interpretation of it when it was firet adopted, ia the true interpretation of it now. A change im an institution by one er ali of the thirteen States, each acting for herself, could not amd Gid not alter the coustitution of the United States, That can be changed in one of the two modes authorized by that instrument. As each of the thirteen States had the samecqual rights and the same equal pover as States after the adoption of the coustitutioa, each mew State ie, pon her admission, entitled te exercise all the rights and powers which belonged to the od States under the constitution they established. As each of the thirteen States entered the Union with the insti- tution of slavery, and retained the right, under the coxstitution, ‘to continue or aboliah it, gad to restore it after it had been abolished, new States have the rare right; it ie founded apoa the equeli- ty which the constitution’ established among all tao fates which wae intended by the framers of that in- strument to be secured, as well for the newStates as the ‘o ndmit s new State, on the condtion that ber titat'on shou'd not recognize slavery, woald be to y to her the right which each of the thirteen States , and.bas now, under the constitution of the Unitod ach an admirsion would degrade a new State and her inferior powers. 1t would soon be main ed by the sdvocates of such a limitation upon the pow of © new State, that acoajted admtestom upoa such terme, that sbe could not afterwards exercise any power ted by the limitation; that she had no right there- ch of the thirtees States han, to change her constitution withont zstfng the permission of Coogesss to make the chanse, or ths approval of that body after the alteration had hee made, by whico the in of rlavery was recognized im ber amenied corstitutio Tt woula'not te long after the estn>lishwent, by 8 ma- j of the doctrine that Congress ean mitation upon the powsra of new State: fore the advorates of the restriction woold raise a m question for agitation, and ciaim poxer for Congr to prohibit and preven’ any of the old thictaen that had abolished slavery, from restoring it by avother change in her conatitu'ion.

Sullivan —Cniet Jus- tice Sbsw came inte court this morning, accompanied by Justices Dewey, Metca’f amd Merrick, and proces ied to deliver bis opinion in the case of Betssy J. Sullivan yetitioner for s writ of habeas corpus, which was argued prisoner wis committed under the yw Liquor law, for withoat license: anc from the sentenoe of the Police Oourt abe appesled, She was thea ordered to re to . cute her appeal to th and abide the fiza) brought here on a writ of habeas corpus, en the ground that by the 324 section of the new Liquor law, she should have teen committed differently, viz.: “to avige the sen- tence of the Court eppesied from.” Now this iss penal statute and must be constroed strictty. It cannot be forced from its obvious meaning on merely technical oz other g.ounde, We cannot know what the Legislature meant, except 20 far as we ascer. tain from the lenguage of the atatute iteelf. The pro- vision is thus:— Sect. 32 Every person convicted under the lsvt section. or of any offence under this act, by any poliee court, or J of the Ponce, may appeal {rim tbe tenkence to Common Pless, or to t! sue? appellant shall be com: mid §1 bolden in the same justiee cr court ua: mitted to abide the hali recognize to tho Commonwealth in the sum of not han one hundred do‘lars, with two good and sufficient ereon, and in the meantime to keep and be ot good bebaviour. By the first clause of this section, a right to appeal is given in clear and dictinct terme, and this is mectssary in order to satis’y that article of the Bill of Righta which secures to every ome charged with a crime the right of trial by jary; Justices of the Peace and Police Courts do not furmeh a trial. Bat it has always been keld that if there is an un2d ged right of appealto a courtin obtained, that article of the Bui ed upon. ‘This right of appeal is first t of the 32d section. @ut it lei and clogged by the latter e of the section, and that the appeal does not take eflect as such until the furcishing of sureties required by the same clause, and the difficulty arises upoa the construction of that clause. It provides thet the appellant shall be-committed to abice 1) ce of raid Justiceor court. If the words re,left out, there woull be no trouble, ‘and the word “‘court” might be construed to mean the court appealed to. But we cannot thus strike out those words. We think it plainly refers to the court appealed from. Now, ible argued that it wae the intention of the lature that the party committed should be committed to abide th sentence of the court gee from, in order giving bonds, he may working cat the « tae court, and at eli times have @ choice either to work out the sentence orto find sure and that the por- tion of the sentence thus worked out ld mot be dergone again; but we think that w granted it means [that there abe!) bea fuli Ree t menses to de novo, and thus the odject of th peal as claimed im answer to the srguments of the At- terney General, who said that the last clause of the 32d section wae ipsensible and void, that if this clause was stricken out as void, there would be no provision for holding the appellants, and in thet case the party mus’, go at large, and the remedy would be, when the appeal was entered by the commonwealth, to bring the appel- lant im by capias for sentence; but it in not probap'e that this was the intention of the Legislature. But there is avother ground that is perfectly consiat- ent with the statute aad toe ordimary rules of copstrac tion; we admitto their full extent the arguments of the petitioner’s counsel, that the lest clause of this eec tom is ad repugnant, inconsistent, unconstitational and void. The question them arises what is to be the resait? If Void, the statute is to be construed as if it was not there, and although it is contended that all other laws for the committal of appeaiants are repealed by the isst section of the new liquor law. We think that argument c ¢ sustained, for the reason that the clause being en void, hes no force, rot even to repeal statutes inconsistent with its pro visions. Tr Revised Statutes, chapter 138, section 1, im full force, and the committal being in accordance With that section, is valid, though the commitment would be wholly unsupported by the 322 section of the new liquor law. The priconer was therefore remanded int cxsoly. MISJELLANBOUS.

Fancy stocks begin to feel the influence of spseula- tion, and as they have not besn mach inflated yet, they msy attract more attention and draw apeculatora from more substantial securities. Nearly everthing on the list advanced this morning. Bayers seem to lose sight of the extent of the in flation already realized, and purchase on time with apperent impunity. The beara do not appear to bs at all dismayed by the rapid advance in market values, but put out contracta freely, in any way to suit. State stocks, railroad bonds, canal stocks, coal stocks, raiiroad stooks, are sil sold on time, at cursent rates, by the bears, who have an abiding faith in reactions and relapses. At preseut prices they have a strong tide in their favor, inthe shape of interest. More money is absorbid in stock speo- ulations, at rates now ruling, and the demand for capital is likely to be more active from this as well as numerous other causes.

All the stooks of Wenrtern railroad companies are moving up t00 fast to be firm. an advance of two, three and five per cent a day cannot be continued loag, That all those railroads favorably tocated for the transportation of produce from the Western States to the seaboard markets, will do a large freighting ba, siness when the new crops come forward, cannot for &@ moment be doubted; bat whether it witl be pro- fitable or not depends entirely upon the extent of competition existing at the time. Capitalists and other men of means must not be again deceived by the declaration of large dividends by any of our railroad companies. Railroads for the present must depend entirely upon their net earnings for divi: dends. The time for borrowing money for sach purposes has gone by, never, we hope, to come again. Five per cent semi-annually is as much as any railroad in the country can payand keep clear of debt. At the second board the market was a lrttle uu settled.

The political advices are important and interesting. ‘The Bt.

Itis in the power of the trustee at any time to ofter the road for sale, first giving twenty days notice thereof, and this, it is prosamed, will eon be done. There is no doubt but that coal will ultimately bo universally used by locomotives on our railroa is for generating steam. The high price of wood makes its consumption an importent item in the operating expenditures of our railroads, particularly those of the New England Sta‘es, ani the result of any ef- fort made to displace such sn expensive articleby one not only cheaper, but more compact in bulk, should be made known far and wide throug i0u! the land. The Boston Tyavelier of the 19th instant gives the following account of experiments made with two locomotive engines, in t:e consumption of Cumberland coal, on several railroads in that vicinity :— It wil de remembered that some time sinse we gave locomoti ea eet oT eee ive har he acres ppel’s patent, at Taunton, 8. designed burn coal of wood. Of so much importance did we deem the matter that one of our reporters visited the New Bedford and Taunton Railroad, where the en- Ll was running,to give an sccount of its operation. tioned at that time that '—comb'ning some further imprevemente—was being built at the Taunton shop. This has just been comp! “has been running by way of t for about a week, It is calied the “Cumberland,” and in appearance ex: antly resembles a common wood engine, with the excep tion of the smoke stack, The interior of the boiler, however, as is well known, is different in constrastion from those used on wood machines. he coal used now both on the ‘‘Anthracite”’ and the ‘“Cambeslana’?’— is Cumberland coal. The Cumberland ran one day on the Old Colony ani ‘all River Railroad, working admirably,and making, it is said, four and » Balf miles in a li over three mi- nutes’ time. For three days it has been run on the Boston and Worcester }, and bas worked finely in drawing heavy freight trains. A careful account of its expenses has been kept, and it ie estimated that it costs nearly or quite double to run a freight train with ‘wood that it does with coal. ‘The fact that coal must be adopted as the fuel on our fea-beard railroads is now peoecal admitted, and it on}y remains to be seem what kind of # machine is best adapted to the work required.

Wepwzspar, June 20, 1855. At Allerton’s Washington Drove Yard, the supply ef beef cattle was pretty good for the week, and the mar- ket is, perhaps, a shade easier, though prices shew na material abatement. The suppties came chiefly from Ohio, Illinois ana Indiana, and the quality on the whole, was rather common. Good beeves were scarce, and these brought relatively higher prices. The demund has been quite as good as last week, and the probability is that they will be nearly, if not quite, all sok’. The supply durieg the week was 2,184, and to-éey 2,120. qe range of prices is from $8 to $10 60, with a few ex- 2 at $11. No cows or calves are reported at Allerton’s; the de. mand is slack, and prices quite nominal. Veal calves dull, and no sales rej Swine continue in geod de- mand, but prices have slightly de:lined. The sales are 645, at from 63¢¢. to 734c.; average about 7¢. Sheep and lambs bave told pretty freely, without much change in prises.
