Ihe Legislaturo of the State, at ita late session, rèpèaled tlio Act of 1342, wbich! Lhrew operrthe doors for the frcc introductiorj of slaves into the State, and revived the for. tner penalties against such au introduclTon.- . They also mitlgated the severity of a cruel law pa6Led in 1836 requiring free negroes to' register themeelves or Jeave the State; L the new law, all those who have resided in tfie State since Juno 1,1833. ure exempted frorri tiie penaltiej, provided they hereafter comply with the law, and the law no longer extends io children under 14, and the penalty hereafIcr is to be only a fine.

McLelland has furriished us with a speech of R Barnwell Róett, of South Carolinn, on thé right of petition. ït goes intó' an elabórate argument, quoting from English History, and' taking Bundry positions with which we shalï not trouhle our readers. Time, ink, and labor enough have been spont on this hacknied' subject, which is totally extrinsic Icthe arrtislavery enterprise, and abolitionista should now address themselves to the main object of their association, without euffering themseïiteff to be led off on this collatteral issue by cunning puliticians. The right of petition is of no more valué to abolitionists than to slaveholdevs. That petilions have been effectuat in promoting' the anti-slavery canee, tve aclmit; but we are inclined to think their rejec1 lion has done more to excite an interest in our enlerprize thnn their reception would have1 done: and in this respect, the denial of our rights bas been more avcilable to our couee than would have been their fuli recognition. Mr. Rhett concedes that the 21st Rule wilï be áboliéhed) owing to the deser ion of miny Northern ■Demócrata, who have hitherto gone with the South.

All the Whigs do not regard; the party in this contemptnous' light. Thé' following is the testimony of C. M. Clay, one of the most prominent whigs of Kcntuckv, as dcclared in a public meeting, Doe. 30: "Tlien came the Liberty party, embracing a large portion of the virlue, intellifrcnce and Jpfral kriowledge, the Christw.ñlty and oatriotism of the Norlli. Taking the ground first occupied by Washington lumself, thi slavery was the creature of the law and shonM be abol:siied by lw, they appeal tó the ballotbox, not the bayonet; like the great Irish Rfi!bnn?r, havine faith in the power of reaaon, truth and virlue, they expect Ui achicve á bloodless revolution, tnore erlorious thnn any yet urising from forcé and nrmí-. This party, a few years ngo, narnbered but fcven tho;. sarïd vóter?, now in 1843, they poll sixty-five rimusand men at the box; liavingdo:ibled themselves evcry year from the time of their organization. At suoh ti continued rate of increase, I leave it to ihe refleeüng to determine how long it will be before they nbsorb the whole political power of ihe North."
