We shall have to refer, in course, to both. Now, as we have said before, discussion on this question, grow ing out of difference of opinion, among Southern men, can not avail aught of good for Southern in stitutions, inasmuch as our strength is in Union. But the responsibility must rest upon those who are endeavoring to foment divisions among the people of the South, for mere party purposes and who, instead of trying by argument and concilia tion , to unite all shades of opinion upon one broad and common-platform of defence, are by a system of denunciation and abuse daily weakening the South, and consequently aiding the abolitionists of the North. Such, we repeat it, must be apparent to every one not blinded by party prejudices, is the tendency of the course pursued by the North Carolina " Standard." In the article in that paper of June 20th, (to which we have referred before,) is oracularly put forth the testof orthodoxy on this subject, to which ever)' man in the State must subscribe, under the penalty of excommunication for heresy, in the first place, and of the stake for contumacy, in the second place. Is this the liberty of opinion for which the Christian world has been struggling for the last tlxree hundred years, and which we have.been taught from childhood to believe, had been secured to us, by the heroes and sages of our past history ? Strange as it may seem mortify ing as it is to Southern men and cheering as it must be to the relentless fanatics of the North yet so it is ; we find ourselves assailed, not only by the abolition press of the North, but by the " Stand ard" here in our midst. And why? Simply because we do not because we cannot agree with that print, in its Constitutional view of this ques tion. And until it gives us something in the way of argument, a little stronger than is contained in the weak and seif-tttffieient view presented of this question in its constitutional aspect, in the article before alluded to, we must be pardoned for adher ing to our opinion. In our previous notice of the " Standard's" ar- houn school, to tell hini what is the protection afforded him by the Constitution of the United States 1 . Let the " Standard" answer. Let it not escape from the force of our illustration, by at tempting to evade it; If the citizen of any State, on removfng to a Territory of the United States, carries with him the rights and privileges he en joys under the laws of the State whence he goes he carries with him the whole of those rights and privileges. If he does not, but carries with him only a part of them, will the " Standard" inform us what part he carries, and what part he leaves behind what is the principle by which we are to define the extent of those rights and privileges, and to produce uniformity of the same? By the law of North Carolina, the murder of a slave by his mastr is felony sappose by the law of Missis sippi it be only a misdemeanor when the North Carolinian and Mississippian take their slaves to California, under which law are they to be tried, in case of the killing of a slave by either 1 Some States make it penal to work slaves on the Sabbath day ; in others it is no offence which law is to prevail in the.Territoiies ? Some States pay the master for the slave, wnen he is executed Ifor a capital offence ; others do not which regulation is to maintain in the Territories 1 If the doctrinp State as a territory, unless prohibited by the local contended for by the " Standard" be correct, then law. If this position be correct, and we think it j m the Territories, there will either belio general cannot be controverted, it jiecessarily follows, as . law on th subject, but that oi force ; or else you the Constitution gives no right, which Congress ! will have separate code for the emigrants from is not in good faith bound to enforce and protect ! every slave State in the Union. And when you go, that Conarress ousht to pass laws resrulatins the ' to the Constitution of the Unitecf States- to which by the Constitution are, that it has its existence, and receives its protection from Vie laws of the Slates. Under the local municipal law, the Con stitution found slavery, there it left it and there, and there alone, every true friend of the South ought to wish it to remain. If the Constitution recognizes slavery in any qther sense than herein1 contended for if it gives a national sanction to slavery, independent of the local law, does it not follow that in the forts and dockyards of New England, where the territory is owned by the Uni ted States, slavery would be a constitutional insti tution wherever Congress has acquired, in-the ces sions from the States, exclusive jurisdiction? Suppose New York were to repeal the law abolishing slavery in that State, without en acting any other law to regulate the relation of master and slave why, if the Constitution of the United States recognizes slavery as a national in stitution, whichmust, under that Constitution, go wherever it is not prohibited by the local law, of course .slavery would eo inslanter take root in that State. For if slavery be under the Constitution, the United States Common Law, subject to pro hibition by the local law only, it must take effect on every foot of territory where that Constitution tne supreme law ot tne land, as weu mi Constitutional. The Standard" insists that the imposition of every duty is so much added to the price of any article then here is an instance where a law may operate not only " in its effects," but directly in favor of the Deonle of and against those of another, according to the" ' " Standard," and yet be Constitutional.

The " Standard" has chosen to put slaves on the same footing it docs the looms and spindles of the North ; and on an issue of its own tendering, we readily meet it. Passing by the absurdity of its parallel after just contending that slave property was entitled to pro- itico-constitutional metaphysics on this question, constitutes the gravamen of its charge against us ; and all we desire, is a dispassionate consideration of this subject. The " Standard's" view of the matter consists in great part of mere senseless tru isms, which, it assumes as premises, and then jumps to conclusions that are utterly irrelevant and unwarranted, leaving it to the ingenuity of its tection under the Constitution, and after having readers to fill up the void, each one for himself, for years contended, that" manufacturing industry by his own peculiar process of inductive reason- was entitled to no such protection we meet the ing.

If he be a peaceable and law-abiding service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim citizen, must he; modestly apply for the bounty ot the party to whom such service or labor may under the Massachusetts law, or voluntarily ten be due." Here it is evident that the only recog- der the tax under the South Carolina law or nition of, and the only sanctions given to slavery, I must he go in search of some lawyer of the Ca! the " Standard" refers for the source of this right, you find it is entirely silent on the subject? The "Standard" says further, "Congress is not the sovereign undr that Constitution, but a body with delegated powers." This we deny, in the broad and unqualified terms in which it is laid down. Congress is sov ereign to the extent of the powers that are delega ted. , Walker defines " sovereign" to mean " Su preme in power,,f and the Constitution declares " that the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance of the Constitution, (that is, in pursuance of the powers that are delegated) shall be the supreme law of the land." Here then we have the express letter of the Constitution on the one hand, and the Raleigh " Standard" on the other. We say to the readers of the " Standard," " choose ye whom you will serve." Again, says the "Standard": "It (Congress) received its existence from the States' and! owes to them its continued vitality, and it can pass no law affect ing either the citizens of "the . States or the States themselves, which is not expressly authorized by the Constitution, or necessary to carry into effect some power expressly made." Granted but what has this to do with the ' question ? Why is this political axiom, that any tyro in Constitution al reading can quote as glibly as the " Standard" can, put forth with such amazing gravity? Why, but to mystify the subject, and mislead its readers ? Why, but to make them believe its ab surd conclusions are the legitimate results from un disputed premises ? But say3 the " Standard" : " "The States are sovereign, and equals. Con. gress, therefore, possesses no right to pass any law which discriminate directly, or by its effects, in fa Tor of one State, and against another.'7 The conclusion to which the " Standard" ar rives in the latter sentence of the above, is made to rest lipon the soundness of the premises as lajd down in the first sentence, viz : that " the States are sovereign and equals." If the rights of the States rest on no safer argument than this, well may they exclaim " save us from our friends." The States ire not absolutely sovereign. Sover eignty in our Country is divided betwixt, and exercised by, two separate and distinct organiza tions, viz : the State and General Government. Each is sovereign within the scope of its legitimate functions, and no further. For instance, the public law writers specify among the attributes of sovereignty, the power to make treaties, grant letters of marque, coin money, Sec. now these are all expressly prohibited to the States by the Constitution, and conferred upon Congress. See what an absurdity the " Standard" has here involved itseu in. it has just said " Conarress is not the sovereign under that Constitution" and now it says " the States are sovereign." If this be true, State laws upon any and all subjects (for the " Standard", makes no qualification) are par amount to the laws of Congress. What non sense ! As to the conclusion deduced from these false premises if the Standard' means, that Con gress possesses no right to pass any law. which shall directly or " by its effects," encroach upon any of the Constitutional rights, powers, or priv- ueges, oi any one ot tne States, we admit the truth of his proposition: but if the "Standard" means, that Congress possesses no right to pass any law, " the effects" of which may enure to the benefit of the people of some one State more than of another, then we insist the argument is er roneous. Will the ''Standard" deny that the effects of the law establishing the Navy-yard at Gosport, have been to benefit Virginia and her people, more tnan ot North Carolina? Or that the improvements of the harbors of New York and Charleston, have " in their effects" been more in favor of the States of New York and South Carolina, than of Tennessee and Kentucky ? Or that " the effects" of improving the Ohio and Mis sissippi, have operated more in favor of Louisiana and Ohio, than of Maine and New Hampshire? vv nence aoes me - otanaara;' derive this unheard of, this dog-in-the-manger (construction of the Constitution that even whhin the scope of the granted powers, Congress has no right to exercise any one of them, if by "its effects," it operates more in favor of one State than another. Although the " Standard" does not expressly say this, yet it is apparent that such is the necessary conse quence of its positions. No such doctrine as this is warranted by the letter of the Constitution then, will the " Standard" inform us of its author ity for such construction ? The absurdity of such a construction must be plain. In a country of such vast extent, such diversified pursuits and va rious interests as ours, it is almost impossible to conceive of any law. of magnitude being passed by Congress, that will not "in its effects," be more beneficklto the people of some one State than somejother and frequently to the positive injury of the latter.
