Miseaneous. Neo Tor'and VirginiL.-We quoted recently some -pasages from the Itich-. moond paperd on -the.suzbject of the contro versy between these two States. The N. York 3ournn of. Commerce of the 20th inst. ctiains a long and n% ell written ar ticle on the some topic. in which thejust claim of Virginia ounchitig lhe muater in questiont is ably vindicnted. The fact that the constitution recognied slaves as property is a thing so well known and so decisive of the poin: here at issue that we are leff to wander bow a contro versy so protracted could grov out of such a-case as the one in% dikpute. Tho Jour naliu the following paragraph, demolish as the only position that could affoird appa rent grnud to.iov. Seward and his sup porters: &"Itis not denied by Gov. Seward, that slaves were deemed property when the eihuse in the Coustit ution was framed, nor that.tle clause was broad enough ihen . it) cover~the ofence of steiding one. It is in sisted'that inastn.ch as they are not: pro per y now, the clause does uot s.aict. Ti.wguld steile the printidle t lat aSt lIte iight at any tiet by itslegislaiion, alter the effect of the constitutioinal pro Nion. If it inay withdraw ons spceies of property from its operation, the principle is the same when another State attempts toild. It isa aid rule which accomnatites the caprices of New Yomk andu withholds the same privileges rotml Virginia." . At the time oft lie adoption of the con stItution slaves were helmi in New York as well as-in States'fort her Soit h. Becnuise theacondition of New York is now chanu.ged in that particular it does not therefore fiii low that the principles of the Constilution is chauged. It remains as it was estah lished and it must be interpreted accord ing to the spiril. in which it was iranted. The concluion at which the Journal ar rives is the plain onei that the men deman (oed by Virginia shoulh Ie given up; and it intimates with propriety that if they should be surretidered. they wontbla. if in soncent,- be able to est ablish their innocence but that even if di'ty. the circum-itances of the case would constitute au aplpeal to to the courtesy of Virginia. which n aidd probably Induce the Executive tu pardou them.-Baltinwre Amertran.
