Juice requires that wo should oxmnino the cum-pluiiita intidu by tin slave Stale against the free States tu find if Ihore is ntiylliiii in tho conduct of iho freo States, (o complain of. No mutter in what tiMiiur these complaints (ire made, if just, tlio remedy should bo applied. Wo should pormit no jot or tiitle of cuusu for disunion to lie at our doors. Thin the people of tho free Status owe to themselves, if not to others. Most of these complaints havo been referred to, and shown to ho ground lens. But one cause rtiinaimt, lnid miliar particularly at the door of Ohio, which seems to bo considered weighty, ami we regret to notice Unit Mr. Clay concurred with others in charging the free Shite with a want of hospitality and gojd neighborhood in thisonn particular. Wo allude- to the fact that when slaves uro brought by tlnir masters Ui a free State, they becomo fruo. It seems to be supposed thiil lint freo Slates should at least, allow the master to travel with hi sluvos, and sojourn u short period, wiihout untitling them to frandom. The fact that they are not m allowed, in attributed to locul, uniioighbor-ly, anti-slavery legislation. Nothing can bo further from the truth. Tho prim' i pie of law by which a slave pussing into a free State becomes liberated, is nn old and general principle, and it is recognized with an much distinrtiieMt in nluvo Statei m elsewhere, Tho Courts of Loiiioiauii and Kentucky have gone as far into tho application of this doctrine, in MuBsachuhotts and Ohio, and neither of tl.u-to havo gone farther than England and Kram o. '11 1 J h principle in not peculiar nor local ; nor ha it bueu udipt (l Ii'l-iiuo of an tin-neighborly feeling, nor should it be the cumo of complaint.Moreover, the not th-weittei it State i have piovided in their Cuui'titiitioua, Ohio aiuniig tho rcat, that ihivory ilinll not exist here. We eoiild iiot chango t lie present law by legislation ; nothing iliorl of a change of our Consiitutiiin could cluuige the law. Tlio only real cause of couiilaiiii consintii iu tho fuel that we do not change our Constitution fur the accommodation ol' lavelmliler. Hut why abould wet Wo deny them uo right, uo convenieiico which wo ullow ournelvnt. Nocitienuf Ohio in allowed to hold n aluve here even for a moment. Why then nhou!d citizen of other States claim to bo treated here with privih'gea which are not allowed to any citizen of Ohio T Hospitality doei not rctpiire it. Wo adopt the theory Mint " Me laborer it worthy of hit hire.1 If any ouo wishes to he waited upon by wrvnnts, ho can hire them, and pay them. Thin ii what our own citient are obliged to do. Wo boo no reason why n Kentuckinu or Virginian should be allowed hero to force othem tu wait upon him without pay. The men and women who do service here for pay, frequently accumulate their wages, and become Riniloyern in their turn. Th-y buy forma, and workshops, and become heads of families. They are voter. They are compom nt part of the State ; its bone and sinew; its strength and wealth. Their opinions are a jmrt of public opinion. Everything tending to lower them either iu their own estimation, or iu the estimation of oilier, in an injury and a wrong to tho body politic. If Kentuckiuu and Virgini'ius were allowed to throng our hotels and thoroughfares, andlouugo about our cities and vi I luges, with iluveU perform the sjiiiio work now performed for pay, by free men, theelV.'ct could not fail to be injurious Neither poliry nor friendship, nor hospitality, requires this at our hands. But they Miiy we do not help them recapture their fu gitive bi von. There was a law ol Congress providing that when a slave owner claimed to have his runaway, ho should tuke hiin before a magistrate and show Minn evidence that he had been a slave, and hud run away The process wus summitry, ami iive to the claimant every reasonable, fucilily. Tho Stiite of Ohio has here tofore unacted laws providing for tho recapture of sncli fugitives, and g"iug fur enough to satisfy Kentucky on this subject. Hut tho Supremo Court of the L'uited States has decided all these btvvs unriuislitiitionnl. Tliey tuy that the ronstitiilinual right to rix-apturo n fugitive slave is a right that txtcnU'M ititlf. That the owner pursiicH and captures his netrro without aid, let ur hindrance, us he might nud would an estrny horse, cow or jackass. That all Lri iU are mi itfntrwtton to his right, and consequently all laws of Congress and ol the States, providing for such trial, are unconstitutional mid void. In other words, tho laws wo have m.idn are void, and any we might make would also bo void, if Ihoy required any sort of trial of the right or the cLiimutit. Why then should we be blamed for ma do ing what we have mi right to dot As it stands, then, we nro in this attuation: A man conies le re, whom nobody knows, and says he is fiom Ktuilm ky or Virginia. He points to a uero, whom nobody knows, and says, "that negnt u-eil to be my alavo ami has escaped en me help mo catch him and carry him back." One naturally inquires, "llnw urn I to know thai you are what you pretend to be f How am I to know that the uegm ever was a slave, or tii.tt you ever owned hiiuf You nro a stranger, nod for aught I know, n mere kidnaper. Before taking a part tu this matter, I must see that you h ive the law in vour favor, else I iniyhl tlo a great wrong." Here, then, something (o be trird, but they sny, nnd the Supreme Court says a truil ts an obstruction. The ttwner has right to recapture his slavo wherevir In- can titid him without nnv trial. We assent n this, because the law aavsao. We didn't seek to have the luw that wav but preferred it should be otherwise. Now it is to, and we submit. But it can not he both ways at tin tame lime. II you con-nler the slavn as you would horse, or a cow, or a jackass, let it bo wi. You have no right to demand, ami never would think of demand iltg assistance to catch your eow or Vour jackass. You would have somebody to look up and drive bark the auiuinl, und would never dream of ml ling for volunteers. There it n law prohibiting under severe peuul-tios the putting any hindrance or obstruction in the way of th owner. There are doubtless a good many uurtoiu who would ushiaI shivo i escape. Hut the main portion of our pop datiou desire to live up to their constitutional obliatiui. And our courts and juried always enl'orcu the law, The heavy verdicts against Van Zandt mid lVirUh are evidence of this. They wow the result of the law nud of lite resiMct whi Ii Ohio juries pay to the law. Tho law then is sutlleictitly severe, and is uniformly administered when appealed to. Out jurios are not mohi. Iu this respect, neither Oougrcs imr tho State Legishiinres could mend this matter. Will they usk, whenever a white man comes along, who claims to own a negro, that lie ahall have a right to comnui ml our asistauco, without nnr being permit ted to ascertain, by any sort of trial, whether he does in fact owu the negro, and whether the negro ja iu fact been a alavo f If they tlo not n.k this, they can ask nothing. The law u I ready gives tlietn nil they can have, except tuit; and wo take it, no one would ex port that. No tlavelmlder, of any sense nr decency, would expect or ask it, lior would the pnopln of Ohio for a moment conseut to it. Instead of merely catch- lug slaves, if they wero th billed to move nt the beck of even stringer, they would bo little heticr thnn slaves themselves. Either so arrange tho lustier that when a man is c In i medio be a runaway slave tho right can he not. or if fugitivei are to be considered mere animals, with only the rights of naimuls, let it be an. It cannot be both ways. If they are mere animals, theii there is uo law imr any reason why we should kelp catch them more than other animals which have strayed from the owner. they nro in any sense prr-M, then, if they tumid not liuppen to bo slavoa, a seizure would be an assault and battery, subjecting the person attempting it to tho penalties of the law, besides making him guilty of a great wrong. Before requiring this-at our hands, wo should have an opportunity to know by some sort of trial whether the negro is a slave or not. As tho law uow is, tho runaway is treated as an animal. Tho owner pursues and catches him. Tho law prohibits all obstruction under severe penalties. It iB u matter solely between pursued and pursuer, as it would be iu the ruse of a colt that had brokon from his pasture. The poople of the free States are not ploased with this view of the matter, but tho law is so, and they submit. While they are not asked to interfere, they will mind their own business as well us they can. But if you propose to put them under com mand of uvory stranger that comes along and claims to own n runaway negro, they claim the right to m- quire into your authority that's all! They are not bo accustomed to be driven or commanded, but that they think it right to know, hv smo sort of trial, whether they aro called upon to do a legal or an illogal act. But aa the, bupremo Court uuys that such a trial cannot be allowed, all they can do with propriety into stand neutral, nnd see tho row go on. We deny, tlioretnre, that the people ol Ohio can bo fairly charged with a disregard of law, or with un- ueiglihnrly conduct. The ditllculty lies iu tho nature of the caw, nnd w intrinsic. . Slavery is a peculiarity and ouchioih peculiar dilHculties. From the New York Express. Git EAT I'Ol'ULAU M.4MFI5STATION At Castle Garden, New York, Frbrvary 25 Gen.

He said, it was a ineetinir convened irrespectively of party, and to subserve uo purpose ol party.

Letter from tbe Editor. Cincinnati, March 3, 1850. Tho congregated wisdom of the great State of Ohio as represented and embodied iu the Legislature there of, including, of course, tbe editor of Columbus, arrived at this goodly city last evening at about ten o'clock, in the midst of a very driving storm of ruin and sleet. Qvery thing was in complete readiness for our reception. As we approached the depot our ears were sa luted with the stirring and patriotic notes of " Hail Columbia," from a very excellent baud ol music, om nibuses were in readiness to take us to the Masonic Hal!, where the grand reception took place. The city futhers, and a goodly number of citizens, were there to greet us and extend to us the hospitalities of the Queen City. Tho Mayor being absent, one of the lesser lights, Daniel K. Meader, Esq., in behalf of the corporate au thorities of the city, welcomed the members of the Legislature iu a short speech. Speaker Convers of the Senate replied, and in behalf of the members of tho two Houses expressed their gratification at the warm and cordial reception extended to them by the city au thorities and poople. His remarks were very happy and appropriate. Hon. Calvary Morris, on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, then came forward and addressed the members. To which Speaker Leiter of the House replied. He made a very good and appropriate speech. Young Mr. Pendleton then, on behalf of the people of Cincinnati, welcomed the members in a very handsome manner. Senator Deiniison was called out and made a short and appropriate speech. Gov. Ford then entered the Hall, and was warmly wolcomcd. He made a few remarks in a happy manner, ami which wore very well received by the audi ence. Senator Payne was then called out.

He appeared, and euch other, and with all the " rest of maukind." This whole trip, so far, has beeu one of unalloyed pleasure.

The railroad company has pat each member, and the press of Columbus under many obligations for their kind proposition, and the equally kind nnd prompt performance of their part of the trip. Not the least part of the agreeable of the visit was the very hospitable treatment of the landlord of the principal hotels. Our host, Mr. Dennett, of the " Gibson House," has our best wishes for hit prosperity, which he fully deserves. His house was the resort of a number of members, and they went away well pleased with their host, and with an especial good will towards all the rest of the city. At 6 o'clock on Xucsduy morning the omnibuses took the members, and the provisional government attending thorn to the railroad depot, and after a very delightful ride the company arrived safe and sound in tho ancient city of Frnnklinton, and from thence they Boon reached their legislative homes, pleased, gratified, delighted, and ready to resume the luborof the session with renewed zeal, good will aud hopo. And so endeth the first visit! Coliimbu and Xenia Bailroad. This road was commenced about two years since, under the charge of A. Kelley, Esq., President, and 8- Mcdberry, Esq., principal Engineer and Superintend ent The work hus been ootid anted with remarkable energy, and reflect the highest credit on those engaged in it. The road is fifty-four miles long. The rails weigh Gl lb, to the yard, and are laid on hewu oak cross ties, well bedded in gravel. The entire cost l the road equipped, will bo about $800,000. The road is nearly direct, having only 3 miles of curved line, with a maximum radius of 5,700 feet. By the instrument Big Darby is 145 feet above tho Scioto, Little Darby 183 feet, London 344 feet, South Charles ton 421 feet, the Green county line 356 feet, eud Xenia 130 toet. The maximum grade 39 feet. Thu road can be run in one hour. The time of tbe Express train will probably be 1 j hours, the regular train 3 hours. At present it is rati in about 3 hours. The stock of this road is likely to be tbe best iu the State. The travel over the road is already very great, aud must be very materially increased when the Cleveland road is Uiu ished, from this city. It is a very important liuk iu the Public Works of this Slate.

Schemes for compromising Uie matters at issue be tween tho North and South, are rapidly multiplying, but with no other effect, I appreheud, than evincing a friendly disposition of forbearance aud conciliation. Every proposition carries with it a degree of concession uf feeling at least, 011 the extreme points in dispute, and this tends materially to disarm fanatics and alarmists. It has been recently given out that Mr. Webster has projected a scheme, which ho is soon to present, looking to a final settlement on the basi of the Missouri Compromise line, alid the resolution which admitted Texas. This statement ha found iu way into respectable papers, but I have good reasons fur pronouncing it erroneous. Mr. Webster will very soon present his views to thu Senate, and tho country, and will bring to the adjustment of the controversy, all the resource of his experience and statesmanship ; but bo will in no mnuuer or form shrink from full and fearless maintenance uf the just claims of the North. A scheme very similar to that which wo imputed to Mr. Webster, was yesterday presented by Mr. Bell of Tennessee. He proposes to admit California, give to New Mexico a Territorial government, without any restriction a to slavery, provide for the creation of three States within the present limits of Texas, and purchase the claim of Texas to the Santa Fe country for a sum not exceediug millions of dollars. He also pmposed to engraft into the bill for the above pur poses, a clause regulating the mode of procedure in future for the admission of new States, and declaring that all matters relating to the domestic institutions of such State shall ba settled by the people thereof. This scheme will attract no favor whatever, at the North. It can hardly be regarded as a compromise proposition, as it fails to concede to the North eveu one point that can, on any reasonable pretence, be de-died. California must be admitted her claims cannot be resisted ; the people of a Territory, when about to form a State government, must fix upon the character of their domestic institutions, for no other authority whatever, ts competent to do it and those two point are all Mr. Bell ha to offered to the North. Iu the remarks which accompanied his proposition, however, tlie re was an important concession ; to wit: "that it is impossible iu the nature of things, that the Senatorial representation of the South can proceed much longer, pari patu, with that of the North.". He affirmed thai Minnesota and Nebraska would soon knock for admission, and then would follow three or four State iu Oregon, as well as others from other portioii of the North-western country: and he then inquired where could the South look for available territory whereon to keep pace with these stride of the North f It wa impossible. His only object was to maintain tho equipoise so long a It was practicable. I desire to add, for Uie credit of Mr. Bell, that he, inlike many of hit Southern brethren, contemplates this prospective disparity of sectional power with per fect loyalty to the Constitution and the Union, believ ing that so long as tlie judicial branch of the Govern ment remains, the respective States will be preserved in the full enjoyment of whatever institutions they mny Jest re, within the pale of the Constitution. He has too much confidence in the people of the North to believe for a moment, with Clingman, Toombs, Foote, ft Co., that they will ever, under any circumstances, seek to interfere in Uie local and domestic concerns of oUier States. It is believed that Mr. Doty' resolution, which pro duced such u uproar on its presentation, will be in formally passed over on Uie next resolution day, be having recently presented a bill for the admission of California. Mr. Foote't mysterious intimation, therefore, that if U10 whole matter were not adjusted before the next resolution day all hope would be gone for ever, proves to be a groundless and ridiculous as ha been every other kindred prophecy of that very saga cious gentleman upon this very exciting subject. Tlie personal organ of Mr. Buchanan, the Pennsylva nia, is engaged 111 a defence of the South almost iu the tone of the Charleston Mercury, and he has himself been in V aldington during nearly the entire winter, laboring with all thu appliances he can command, to induce tho adoption of (ho Missouri Compromise Hue as the basi. of adjustment. He fancies that is a much higher bid Utan Gen. Cum is likely to give, or it it by uo menus certain that he would not go further and as sent in broad terms, iho doctrine of uiillillcatiou, or any other extreme southern absurdity. Nrw, whether this movement is a pari of the plan of tho " solo or gau or not, it is quite difficult to tell t but iiolhiug clearer than that any pliin for gaining northern vote, by such subservience, is too ridiculous to laugh at. At times tho "sole organ" soems to have no plan whatev er. It dare not take a bold stand in favor of the Union, lest it be found sustaining tho policy of Presl dout Taylor; much less does it feel inclined to take an opx)tite course, or even remain quiet, lest It commit its party to a policy, tho result whereof is destruction. Ou the whole, the sole orsnn is in a hnd predicament. You will observe hy a correspondence which appears iu the papers of this morning, tint Ihe ditllculty between the Hon. W. II. Bissoll and Jclforson Davis ha been amicably settled, 1 learn that this result was brought about by the personal interference of Pre sident Taylor. Having been apprised In t on Wednes day evening Hint a hostile meeting was to lake place the very next morning, he immediately hurried dowu on to the Avenue in quest of Mayor Seaton. Learning that he was at the Smithsonian Institute, he took a hack and dmvo rapidly over, then in company with the Mayor proceeded to the uflice of Capt. Goddard of the police. Thereuimn the parties were found and were persuaded by Uie good old man to agree tu the settlement adopted. Wednesday, JTItirrll 0, IS 50. IN SENATE. Prayer by Rev. Mr. Woodrow. Petitions presented.

The question turning upon the passage of Uie resolution,Mr. Whitmnn said he bad not seen the resolution, and he moved its reference to himself and he would report it back to-morrow. Mr. Worcester Sjaike against tho reference. He knew more of the condition of those school lunds, and of course more about what was necessary than any other member of the Senate or the House. He stated that he had not, however, any special objection to the reference. The people of the Reserve best knew what they wanted. Mr. Blake said it was useless for any but members of the "People's Line," to attempt to do any thing bent. He would make uo opposition to the reference, and would bow humbly to Uie dictum of the "people's pan ty." After some further discussion, tho resolution was referred tn Mr. Wuilmou.

Blake, trout committee on uiatms, retried a resolution for the p eymont of persona who were em ployed at the Uluo reuiteutiary during the prevalence of the cholera. Mr. Wilsou thought that there was too little discrim ination iu the sums allowed to the physician. He thou ht that Dr. Trevitt deserved i 15.00 if some oth ers deterved Uie amouut allowed by the report He did not intend that too much wa allowed to any one. Mr. Blake explained the great difficulty experienced by Uie com mi 1 lee, iu arriving at the trutn in regard to services rendered, as tbe cilizeus were nnwiiliug to say anything on Uie subject, except that great servicos were rendered. Mr. Denuison snoke of tbe self-denial and courage of some of the guards, aud said that the sum allowed to them was uot enough by half. He hoped Sena tors would ihmk of the matter while the report wa lyinc on the table, and act a justice to these men would dictate. He spoke of the prospective condition of Uie prison, should the cholera visit it again nxt summer, aud npenled to Senators whether justice did not demand that at least double iho sum allowed by the committee should be paid to these guards. Mr. Whitman moved that tho report bo amended OT striking out titty dollar where it occurred, aud insert one hundred dollars. Mr. Bums spoke in favor of the amendment Mr. Conk I ui was also decidedly in favor of the amendment of Mr. Whitman. Mr. Blnke did not measure humanity by dollar and cent. If he supposed that the payment ol fifty dollars in cash, oroue hundred dollars, would plant with in the bosom of auy man ih feelings which actuated these men in their sac ri licet nf comlurt, and confronting of danger, he would instantly, with all hit heart, vote ior tne amemimeui. nui nu . um mo uocimie we go upon. He ruse, however, to vmdicnt the men who hid so gallantly stepped lorwarti to tlie assistance of their fellow men. He would vole for any amount which should he tatislocto.y to the Senate. Mr. Couklin did not mean to impute any but true motives to Uife men. He thought, however, that any amount would be very acceptable to these mmi. He asked why ge die meu of an honorable pnilestiim should be paid so iiberaiiy, wniie men wnn were compelled to breath nearly all the timo tlie pestilential air, and performed so much ol the labor, should be put off wiih the paltry sum of fifty dollars! He hoped the amendment would be adopted. Alter some lurtlior remarks by Messrs. L-on vers. Denuison, Wilson, Kekley and Lewis, the bill wu referred to a select committee uf one, Mr. Denuisou.
