PACIFICUS I The Rights and Privileges of the several States in regard to Slavery, being a series of Essays published in the Western Reserve Chronicle, (Ohio,) alter the election of 1842. By A Whig of Ohio. INTRODUCTION. To the Editor of Viz Chronicle : The election is past and our opponents have triumphed. They are now cliargcd with the respon- . sibility of administering our State Government This being the case, we may expect the election of a Senator to Congress who will vote to repeal the tariff, and to abandon the protection of the tree labor of the North. We must expect the election of such a man as will exert his influence against our harbor improvements, and a completion of the Cumberland road ; and who will oppose the distribution of the proceeds of the public lands. We must look for the election of a man who will vote for the annexation of Texas to this Union, and who will lend his influence generally to slaveholding interests. The State will be so districted as to elect tne greatest possioie number of Representatives in Congress, who will sustain the same policy, and who will vote for John C. Calhoun to the orhce of President in 1844, snouiu me election devolve upon the House of Representatives.Had the friends of northern rights united their po litical efforts at the recent election, these consequen ces would have been avoided j but we were divided, and of course were conquered. Crimination and recri mination will not extricate us trom the dimcumes into which unhappy divisions have precipitated us. Future triumph can only be secured by future union j we must therefore profit by experience. Let us search out the rock on which we have split, that we may avoid it hereafter. If there be any political or moral principle involved in the controversy, let us understand what it is. Let it be developed and placed before the people, that we may all distinctly understand it. in oruer to uo mis, u is uie iiiieuuuii ui we wuun i enter into an examination of this subject. He will endeavor to do so with such plainness and sincerity as the subiect demands : no false delicacy shall de ter him from a full, fair, and candid expression of truth ; nor shall feelings ot excitement induce him to use terms or epithets that may offend the sincere inquirer after truth, whether he lives in a free or slave State, or belongs to the Whig, the Democrat, or the Liberty party. In order to be distinctly understood, your readers may expect an examination of the subject in the following order: 1st. He will inquire into the rights and privileges of the several Stales in recrard to slavery. 2d. The encroachments upon these rights of which the anti-slaverv men complain. 3d. The remedy which, I think, all will agree should be adopted. The whole will occupy several columns of your paper, and will be furnished as the writer hnds leis ure to communicate with your readers. PACIFICUS. November I, 1843. NUMBER I. RIGHTS AND PR1VI1.GES OF THE SEVERAL STATES CONCERNING SLAVERY. Mr. Editor: For the purpose of fixing in the mind a definite idea of our rights and privileges respecting slavery, it becomes necessary to look back to the time of forming the Constitution. At that period, the snirit of universal liberty pervaded the minds of our people generally, particularly those of New England and northern States, ihe sages ana patriots of 1770 had put forth the undying truth that 'man is born Jree," as a "seij-tvxat.nl aw." in oue' dience to this declaration, Massachusetts, ever for ward in the cause of liberty, by a similar assertion of the rights of man, had stricken the shackles from ... . . . mi . -i i' n every slave witinn ner territories. 1 ne sou 01 v er inont had never been contaminated with the foot stens of a slave. Pennsylvania, and indeed nearly all the northern States, had commenced a system of oradual emancipation. The delegates from the north carried with them a strong predisposition in favor of universal liberty. While in convention they spoke of slavery with the deepest abhorrence, and the most irreconcileable hatred. Not so with the southern States. They regarded slavery as necessary to their nrosnentv. Thev refused to enter upon tne consa tutional compact upon any terms that would subject them to the control of the General Government. Up to this period each State had acted, in regard to sla very, according to the dictates of its own will. Each, for itself, held supreme, indisputable, and uncontrolled jurisdiction over that institution within its own limits. The entire power was reserved to it self by each State, and no portion of it was delegated to the General Government; and to place the subject in such plain and palpable light that it should never be questioned, article 10, of the amendments, was subsequently adopted, by which it was declared that the powers not delegated by the Constitution, were reserved to the several States. It is, therefore, plain that the General Government have now no more power over the institution of slavery than it h d -j t t, Bdoplion of the Constitution. The 1 "u r', 1 ,1 ', . , ,7., .. ... ,. i people of the southern States hold that institution as independently of the Federal Government as they did under the old Confederation. Precisely to the same extent do the people of tho free States hold and enjoy the blessings of personal liberty. They delegated to the Federal Govermcnt no more power to involve tnem in slavery, man tne south did to involve them in its abolition. The riirhts of tho States on this subject were mutual, and perfectly reciprocal. Those States who desired to do so. could continue the institution of slavery ; and those who desired to be free, and entirely exempt from the expense, the disgrace and guilt of it, reserved to themselves the fulliand indisputable right to remain altogether separate from, and unconnected with its evils. The sont of the pilgrims regarded slavery as a violation of the will of Heaven, and as a flagrant transgression of tho law of God. They would no sooner have been compelled to involve themselves in its moral turpitude, than they would in that of piracy or murder. The people of the Frea States, therefore secured to themselves the absolute right of remaining free from the guilt, the disgrace, and tho expense of slavery, by withholding from the Federal Government all constitutional power in regard to that institution ; while the slave States secured to themselves an equal privilege to enjoy the benefits (as they supposed) resulting irom a coming ance of slavery. These doctrines are not new they are as old as the Constitution. They are not local, for they have been substantially asserted in Concress, and both in the north and south. They are not anti-elavery, for they have been, for half a century tne aeciarea ooc trines of the slave States. If any anti-slavery man claims for the free States any further rights in regard to slavery, than those expressed above, he is request ed to make them known. If any Whiff or Democrat of Ohio is willing to deny to the people of the free States the rights above set forth, ho is invited to express his views, in order that the public mind may be informed upon this important subject. If these be the constitutional rights of the free States, all will agree that they should be maintained and supported. On this point it wouia appear impossible that Whigs and anti-slavery men should disagree. I therefore submit the question to our ed itors, and the conductors ot the public press generally, whether they ought not to speak out boldly and temperately upon this subject. Ought they not to urge forward our State and National legislators to . maintain and detend the rights ot the tree .states, as assidiously as they do those of the slave States ? The question is also submitted to the members of our State Legislature, and to our members of Con gress, whether they are not as mucn oouna Dy me oath of office to preserve the free States from all participation in the guilt, the disgrace and the expense of slavery, as they are to preserve the slave btates from the abolition of that institution by Congress ? Ought they not to put forth their influence to sepa rate and wholly divorce the Federal Government from all support of slavery, and to bring it back to the position in which the Constitution placed it in relation to that institution ? Having thus stated, generally, the rights of the States, I shall, in my next communication, examine the Bubject of fugitive slaves ; which has sometimes been urged as an exception to the general principle- that we, ot the tree states, are constitutionally unconnected with slavery. PACIFICUS. Corruption in Pennsylvania. The present executive administration of Pennsyl- , vania, must be as rotten as a pear. A bill was passed by the Legislature for electing the Canal Com missioners by the people. This Dill, it was Known, was very objectionable to uov. Porter, as it was intended to get clear of the present Commissioners'. As was expected, he vetoed it on Saturday. On Friday, before the veto was received, Mr. Heckinan, a member of the House of Representatives, rose, in his place, and offered the following resolution : Whereas, it is alleged that several members of the Board of Canal Commissioners of this Commonwealth have held out inducements and bribes to members of the Legislature to corrupt them, and thereby influence their votes on certain measures pending before the Legislature, Therefore - licsolved, That a select committee ot three be ap pointed to examine the said charges and have authority to send for persons and papws. The Harnsburg Telegraph lias the tollowmg no tice of the debate that ensued : Mr. Heckman made some remarks in favor of the resolution which called up Mr. Hill, of Armstrong, who stated that he had been called upon by Mr. M'Culloch, of Centre, and assured that he (Mr. H.) could get an office from the Canal Commissioners, if he desired it, but that it would be expected of him to sustain the veto of the bill for the election of Canal Commissioners, and vote for Mr. Dimock, for State Printer, intimating that he had the same from the Commissioners, and desiring him (Mr. H.) to call on them. Mr. Hill did see Air. Uverheld, one ot the Commissioners, who tendered him an office for himself or any friend he might name, worth from $800 to $1000 a year, it he would aid in getting them outot the u tight paee," they were in by voting to sustain the veto, and thus Kin the Dili Teterrea to. Mr. Sharwood made a most eloquent and powerful speech in favor of the resolution, reviewing the whole course of Governor Porter's Administration, and particularly the Broadhead lumber transaction of 1840, and the numerous attempts made by him and his corrupt office-holders to tamper with and corrupt the Representatives of the people. The resolution was agreed to, and Messrs Heckman, Deford and Morris were appointed the committee. Twice Rejected. From the Rochester Daily Democrat. " Caleb dishing is about to he married, says the Washington correspondent of the Lowell Courier, to Miss Harper, of Baltimore. She is described as being very intelligent, amiable and beautuui, ana withal an heiress to a large estate. JViiss n. is tne grand daughter of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton."-That "the course of true love never did run smooth," is as " fixed " a " fact " now as when the Poet of other times sung, Mr. Cushing, it is said, has practical evidence in his wooing at Baltimore. These are not, we admit, fitting topics tor news paper discussion, but as this paragraph is taking its rounds, it may not be improper to say that the cold, calculating politician who put his Country " up at auction," is as little likely to find favor and affection from an accomplished Lady in whose viens the pat riotic blood ot the Carrolls circulates, as with the constituents whom he has betrayed. Alb. Journal. The Rejected ! Caleb Cushing, one of Capt. Tyler's Guard, whom the Senate rejected thrice as Secretary of the Treasury, havinar found, upon consultation with both par ties, that neither will return him to Congress, with draws from the held. This event casts a dark shadow in the path of John Tyler. The political fate of this man awaits his master. John Tyler, an steeped as he is in treachery and corruption, expects a Te-election ! He is no more thoroughly detested by those whom he has betrayed, than he is scorned by those who enjoy tho fruits of his treason. There is a common feeling of contempt for John Tyler among honorable men of all parties. Jllbany Evening Journal. Living without Drink. The last Medical Jour nal contains a communication from W. W. Alcott, in which he states that during the year 1842, he drank nothing, and that he had not yet, at the date of his communication, returned to the use of drink. The Doctor is trying an experiment to prove, for the ben-. efit of the friends of temperance, that if our food is simple and plain we need but very little drink. His diet was bread, fruits, and succulent vegetables. Now if the Doctor will make another push and go a year without eating, his success will be complete. The Mississippi repudiators have coined a new term of abuse. Ihe vicksburg Sentinel, in the course of a violent diatribe against Volney E. How-ard, caps the climax of reproach by charging hint with having turned bond-payer. We conclude that thief and scoundrel are terms of honor. W. Tri bune.
