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. Adams presented mnd moved the
reference of a petition, asking the abulitiou
of slaverv in this Diktriet, and in the Ter
ritiries ils, that no new Territory, tole
rating slavery, may be admitted iutu the
U~ni u.
31r. Connor moved to lay that pTrtion
ofihe petition which came under the stand
ing rule on the til.
Mr. Adam. asked how that was to be
done, for the petition must theu necesaar
ily he clt in Itwo.
MJr. Waurren obiserved that, if tlie ieti
tiinPrs thought proper it) atach objection
able matier, not receivnble by the llouze,
to their petition, they ought not to com
plain if the whole was rejected. He was
therefore in favor of the rejection of ihe
whole.
That portion of the petition coming un
der the rile, having been laid on the table
sub sienlio.
iAIr. Brack moved to reconsider the vote,
for the iuirpoce, in case it shoneill he recon

TnU SDA , FEBRUARY 4, 184I.
" "A Suabscriber." and - C," has been receiv
d. ed and will appear in onr next.
le We are indebted to the Hlonl. F. W. Piehens,

TiE BAC H F.OR -
u- We are extreme4y averse to obtruding our
selves, or our affnirs. upon the attentiin ofour
n- readers, who have a right to claim. and to whom
it should be our duty, to afford higher instmue
id tion and entertainment. 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. Wersaid all we coald,
'd Cnsistent with enr own feeliqts, sa% in favor
1 of it, atd as much as we thoclpht it deserved.
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. Wh'en in the.
days of Chivalry, a Knaight clad itn conplete ar
nouir, was set togtinrd a shrme, it was tot suffi
rient that he repell the intavader. whoappronch.
re eel witheequill front to theattaek-but it was no
tess ltitduty, to hent oftfdw' f'on tirds. nad'etrnsh
Ae with iron heel the -limy snakes. that mtight de
'y As e the precineits. But enough. We shall,,
I hereafter, consider the Bachelor too " poor" an.
ob elject, to waste paiperanad ink. tupon.
