,i Iiscelaneous. New Fork and Virginia.-We quoted recently some passages from the Rich. muond papers on the subject of the coniro versy between these t wo States. The N. York Journal of Cinmerce of the 20th insr. contains a long and inell written ar ticle 0n the same epic in which the just claim of Virgiiia toiuching the tmatter in question is ably vilicated. The fact that the con- it ution recognised slaves as property is a thingt so well known and so decisive tf the poil! here at iUe that we are left to wander how a constro veriy so protracted could grow ont oratch a case as the one inl dispute. Tho .lour nal in the following paragraph., dlemolish es the only position that could afford appa rent grottud to. Gov. Seward and his sup porters: "It is not denied by Gov. Seward, that slaves were deemmed property when the clause in the Constitution was framed, nor that the clause was broad enough tihen to cover the offence of stealing one. It is in sisted that inastt.ch as they are not pro perty Dow, the clause does 1n1 ""aIIn. This would seule the principle that a'SmIe might at any time by its legislation, alter the effect of the contitut onmal prouisiotn. ir it nay withdraw ons species of properly from its operation, the principle is tie same when another State aitemlits to ad.. It it.a bad rule which accommtttolates the caprices of New Yo k and withholds the same privileges from. Virginia." At the dine oft he adoption of tie conl siltution slaves were held in New York I., well as in states fuirther Son th. Because the-condition of New York is now chn nced in that particular it does not therelfre All low that the principles of the Constitution is changed. It remains as it was e-sah 2ished aud it must be interpreted accord ing to the spirit int whieb it vas firatied. The conclusion at which the Journal ar rives is the plain onc that the men deman eoed by Virginia sholi le given up; and 'it intinates with propriey that if they should be surrendered, they won l,. if in nocent. be able to estahlikh their itnoce-ce but that even if gtilty. the circum-t1tantceS of the case .otid constitute ;au app-al to to the courtesy of Virgittia, whicl %% 01l probably iurhtce the hecutive to pardou them.-.Baltinwre Amerzvan.

On motion of Mr. Carr, the rules were suspiended for one hour, for the purpose 01 calling for petitione by State<. mr.

But, a late attack having been made upon us, through the columns ist of the " Bachelor," an irresponsible Lilliputian - sheet. publis'hed at Athens. Ga., of which we. rt gave a passing notice in our last, we must beg indulgence for appeariug in so unaccustomed an nattitude as defence. We have not only been. attacked, for our own-editorial notice, but have nl been accnsed of a leagned -connegion, with~ ns others, of which the editorial corpsof tCh.Bach of elor can produce no proof. This la't charge. *4. is as foreign to our kntowledge, as kindness, !h honesty a ad prinaciple. seems to be to the nature.. e- of those by whot it hats been attributed to uv.. e- We tare not conscious, of ever having deasean. ed iustrselves, but %%itla strict courtesy, in our . noices of "ur brethren of the press, and we ,V mutst attribute thie discourtesy of the Bachelor ; 1 to % nrds its. to its disa -f oitni t.I in our nota Ie having bestowed upon it, the praise which it r. expected, ttponr its change of nane, aned limticd -- etnlargenent of its sheet.

Be It is the official organa of a class, vhich to the honor of the sex he it spoket, isextreanly s1.al. is these latter days. e- We do ne-t recollect ever having noticed it $t blaltched with ini ecent Inngunge; but the most mealy-monted nre generally t.e aost impure, a and the moe'st sanctified sentimentalist, is utunally as the greatesi scoundrel. t- We therefote beg permission, to inform the . .beau ideal' corps of the Bachelor, that they need no lon::er cotnsider themselve a tinder any obligatioan to senad us their paper, as we shall be a- loth to impose the task of their destrnetion on g. the flithilil blnek, A ko lranfim-es the peolish ot ail his countennance inato our boots. The cour.e purstued by the Bache for. we think jistifies ts in cntting short our acquainta ce, ns it has taken special care not to send its a list per, containjing its tattack iupoan ts. It was dily aeeived, by its regilar stub eribers in ti sec tion, and it is to the kindness of a friend, that s. we are itdebted for theinflmiation that we had 5 been assailed. 411 We have now done our duty. and shall do it, "1 hereafter. withaut fastidioosess.
