'1 be Pagttire Slave mil. One of the objections made at the North to the fugitive slave bill, passed at the late session of
Congress, is that it suspends the writ of habeas corpus, and is therefore in conflict with the provision of the Constitution which declares that
"the privilege of the writ of hebeas corpus shll not be suspended, uuless when, in cases of rebel-
liou or invasion, the public safety may respire it". This objection was made while the bill was
I pending, and after its passage President rill-
more's attention was called to it. He thereupon submitted the question to Mr. Crittenden,
Pennsylvania Congie Unal Ktccttaa. The Pennsylvania of the 14th last presents the following summary of results of the late election in that State.

I hut not less law ful, mode of self-redress." And iu support of this opinion refers to the decision
of the U. S. Supreme Court, in the celebrated case of Prigga vs. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In that case they decided that the owner, independent of any aid from State or National
j legislation, may, in virtue of the Constitution
and his own right of property, seize, and recapture his fugitive slave, in whatsoever State he may find him, and carry him back to the Slate
or Territory from which he escaped. The following remarks of Mr. Crittenden upon the writ of habeas corpus, are clear and conclusive, and leave nothing to be said against the fugitive law on the score of interfering with its
rightful us;: Baltimore Patriot.
"Congress in the case of fugitive slaves, aa in all other cases within the scope of its constitutional authority, has the unquestionable right to ordain and prescribe, for what causes, to what extent, and iu what manner, persons may be taken into custody, detained or Imprisoned. Without this power they could not fulfil their constitutional trust, nor perform the ordinary and necessary duties of government. It was never heard that the exercise of that legislative power was any encroachment upon or suspen
sion of the privilege of the habeas corpus. 1 1 is only by some confusion of ideas that auch a
conflict can be supposed to exist. It la not within the province or privilege of this great
writ to loose tnose whom the law has bound.
That would be to put a writ granted by law, in
opposition to the law to make one part of the law destructive of another. This writ follows
the law and obeys the law. It is issued upon
proper complaint, to make enquiry into the
causes oi commitment or imprisonment, and its
sole remedial power and purpose is to deliver
the party from "all manner of Illegal confine
ment, to isiacR Lom.i IJ1.) If. upon appli
rntiou to the Conrt or Judge for this writ, or if,
upon us raturn, it shall appear that the confine'
nient complained of was lawfnl, the writ in the
hrst instance would be refused, and in the last
the party would be remanded to his formal law
ful custody. The condition of one in custody
as a fugitive slave, under this law, so far as respects the writ of habeas corpus, is precisely the

Tho whole effect of the law may be thus briefly stated. Congress has constituted a tribunal with exclusive jurisdiction, to determine summarily, and without appeal, who are fugitives
irom service or laiior under the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution, and to whom such service or labor is due. The judgment of every tribunal of exclusive jurisdiction, where no appeal lies, Is of necessity conclusive upon every other tribunal, and therefore the judgment of the tribunal created by this act is conclusive upon all tribunals. Wherever this judgment is made to appear, It is conclusive of the right of the owner to retain iu his custody the fugitive from his service, and to remove him hack to the place or State from which he escaped.
If it is shown upon the application of the fugi- I live for a writ of habeas corpus, it preveuts the I
issuing of the writ u upon the return, it discharges the writ and restores or maintains the
custody.
1 he view of the law in this case is fully sustained by the decision of the Supreme Court of the United Slates in the case of Tobias Watkins, where the court refused to discharge, upon the ground lhat he was in custody under the sentence of a court of competent jurisdiction, and thai judgment waa conclusive upon them. (3 Pet., 902.) The expressions used in the last clause of the sixth section, that the certificate therein alluded to "shall prevent all molestation" of the persona
to whom granted, "by any process issued ," fee, probably mean, only what theactof 1793 meant,
by declaring a certihcate under lhat act a sufficient warrant for the removal of a fugitive, and certainly do not mean a suspension of the habeas corpus. 1 conclude by repeating my conviction, that there is nothing in the bill in question which conflicts with the Constitution, or suspends, or wasiutended to suspend, the privilege of the
writ 01 habeas corpus. I have the honor to be, very respectfully, sir, yonr obedient servant. J.J.CRITTENDEN To THK Prisipfnt.

From Waahingtoa. Oct. 17th. The Republic of this morning contains the
I opinions of the Altourney General, on the con
stitutionality ol the r ugitive slave law. He says there is nothing in any prt of the act thai suspends the privilege of the writ of Habeas Corpus; and that the whole act is not only constitutional, but is necessary for the proper enforcement of the provisions of the Constitution declaring that all fugiativea shall be delivered upon claim. The Union candidate for Congress in Charleston, S. C, has 700 majority over Rhett and Holmes, disuaionii'.s.
A great crowd assembled early in the evening, both at the back and front of tho Chestnnt-at. theatre. A large police force waa in attendance and prevented confusion.

An Intelligent farmer from Fleming inform
us that the number of hogs for market from that

Farther change of clerk in the Departments
are soon to take place. It is understood that
about sixty will be made by the 2d of next month
This will give the Whig a fair majority In the
Executive Departments, and a fair ahowing.
Let all the new appointee remember that upon
their efficiency and good behavior in their new office depend the approbation of the renovating movement on the part of the country. Much hss been published about the disposal of tho Collectorship of San Francisco, California. Thus atanda tho matter: Collier, the late incumbent, having been rejected by the Senate, Mr. Davis, of Philadelahia, waa nominated for
the station and confirmed. But he declined it The President then tendered it to his friend, the Hon. John A. Collier, of New York, tho brother
of Col. Collier, rejected, who went ont to Call
fornla from Ohio, with President Taylor' ap
pointment in his pocket Mr. John A. Collier,
after deliberating and consulting friend, de
clined the appointment, partly npon the ground
of his brother's rejection the cause of which Is
not yet made public.
Tho appointment to the Collectorship in question I now open. Nobody ha it It is generally believed that the President intend, when
Mr. Secretary Corwln returns, on Monday or Tuesday next, to tender the appointment to the Hon. Thomas Butler King, who baa not asked
for it nor onght It in any way, bat who seem
to be tho general favorite for the responsible post. It is believed that if it ahonld be tendered
to Mr. King, ho will not feel at liberty to de
cline it But of this I know nothing. He has alreedy declined appointments of as high a
grade.
Mr. John A. Collier has declined several ap

Let na man be carried into bondage till proper proof is afforded before a competent tribunal that he is a slave; and in arresting fugitives 1st. not the rights of northern freemen be violated We hsve riva specific objections to this bill 1. Itbmiu .Ttuiirjctr. Acommis- -sioner appointed for that purpose by the Unitdi
otaie voun has supreme jurisdiction ia th. premises. Oa affidavit made before him by the claimant of the slave, h is authorized to givs bim at once a certificate of ownership. Thecommissioner is forbidden, bv the law, to receive the testimony ofthe allrmH r,.;t;.. .

But when human liberty, and too frequently human lifealso sre concerned, the right of trial by jury Is denied. 2. TucwaiTor hasevs coarrs is atresia. That right for which our English ancestor struggled for hundreds of years, and which thty at last wrested from unwilling tyrants that right which lies at the basis or personal liberty, and which ia expressly secured by our Constilation, is by this law, refused. If in five minutes after a commissioner decides a man is a slsvs, and furnishes a certificate, there slioul I be presented the most unquestionable proof that he -was born a freeman, nay, more, rkat not a drepof African blood was in his veim, there is as power to interfere.

An attempt was made in that vicinity to release bim, but the officer refused to set the boy at liberty. Just before the Kentucky line wts reached, a writ uf habeas copuatn anolV reonnty was procurieu bvsorae frieuds of humanity, sad on investigation it was clearly proved lhat the boy was born in a free stated of free parents, aud of white parents!

seekers for the poor and the oppressed, provided they can purchase office by southern voles. 3. A DiatCT BRIBE 1 OFFERED TO TUB JUPCI. The commissioner, who, in his own person, combines the office of judge and jurors, is to be paid five dollars if he decides thai Ihe fugitivs is . not a slave. If he decides that he is a slave, he is to be paid ten dollars. A fee or bribe of five dollars is thus given to turn the scales. Who would be williug to be tried by juriors, each of whom would receive ten dollars to condemn, bat only five to acquit? In what civilized land was such a law ever before passed? 4. The people are to be taxed to arrow fugitives. If the slave-owner or kidnapper as the case may be shall declare by affidavit thst he fears the rescue of the allre-d slave, then t'l.
commissioner must employ a many men as he judges necessary, who sliall ci nvey tl e .la?

many worthy men. Are yon, reader, willing to be taxed for this purpose? 5. It commands all cojd citizem ts ssit.i! slave cathi.no. The law reads, "AH good oilizeus ore commanded to asist!" Under what penalties we are not lawyer enough to kxow; but. as the penelty for aiding or secreting a fugitive may be two thousand dollars, and six montha imprisoment, we presume the penalty fornot aiding i-sufficiently heavy. The It w. authorises tbo employment of deputy marshals toany amount, who miy Call into requisition

What an indignity to freemen! And yet such a yoks bars our senators and representatives in Congress bound npon our necks! Well can we understand the terrible aversion which they express, toward any "higher law." When French legislation broke through every moral restraint,
and rushed into unbridled libertinism, they voted
there was no God.
