When ths con- stitution of tuo United States was under advise by the law of nations, a slave eaxeping t> a free country became free. Tue slaveholding Siates were unailling to form @ union upon the basis of that international jaw between indepeadest Staves. They propcesed to the free States, if you wish to unite with us and thus form one peop's, in closer bonds than by the general lew of nations, tasn this law of the fogttive slave must be #0 modified that we sail have the same right to reclam in y.ur Saw, that we now have in apy courty in cur own Stats.

DEMARKST’S ADD RBAB. The subject to which the speaker dirested the at- tention of bis auditory, was ‘Manly and Independent Thinking.” He opened by alludicg to the general- ly received opinion that this was a wonderful age, and then spoke of the cent which wan indalged in by mapy respecting the peculiar kind of mon whi:h were neceescry to meet its demands.
