We Lay before our readers this morning a copy of tha letter to which we alluded several Days so cd addressed by Hon. E. A. Chapman of Springfield to his excellency governor Gardner declining the Appi int ment which the governor had tendered him. To be commissioner under the personal Liberty act p i3s0d at the recent session of the s legislature. The subject seemed to us to possess such general interest and importance that we requested to to furnished with a copy of the latter and ate gratified to have Tho pleasure of laying it before the Public. The duties of the commission Era proposed be appointed Are defined in the seven Leo nth Section of the personal Liberty act t is provided that Quot Tho governor by and with Tho advice and consent of the Council shall appoint in every county one or Mora com missioners Learned in the Law Whoso duty it shall be in their counties when Annerson in this state is a Restel or seized of being arrested or seized As a fugitive from service or labor in being informed thereof diligently and faithfully to use All lawful Means to pm text defend and secure to such alleged fugitive a fait and impartial trial by jury and to Imenit of the provisions of this now what is Here called Quot tie acne it of the provisions of this act Quot As our Reader Well know is the Quot Benefit Quot supposed to to derived from attempts in Tho name of the slate of Massachusetts to thwart the execution of the Laws if Tho United states. Some of Quot the provisions of this act Quot contrary to the Constitution of Tho United states and lome Are believed by no less distinguished a state authority Tuliau our own Massachusetts attorney Gen Irol to to con rare to the Constitution of . We have not heard of the appointment of any other commissioners and we believe that none have been publicly announced. Or Chapman s answer to the governor s Appo Iii nent was Ina nov prompt and patriotic. Tho remarks of or. Chapman upon the character of the statute As an attempt at a nullification Quot and its objection Ablo features in other respects will commend themselves to the judgment of the Reader whom we will not longer detain from the letter itself although Tho subject in Ghesu further remarks which to had designed to make. Phi in Fiji a june 11th, 1855, Sib �?1 have the Honor to acknowledge the receipt of your excellency s commiss Loi appointing to to Tho office of commissioner of the county of Hampden under the act entitled Quot an act to protect Tho eights and lib orgies of the people of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Quot passed by the legislature at their late session i deem it my duty to inform your excellency that j have for Manv Yenis held and still continue to hold the a slice of commissioner of Tho circuit court of the United states and it being a office which in my opinion it is proper and honorable for an oily Gammon. The speech of Hest Wilson at the con a mention was a note worthy thing not for any Worth or Merit in itself but for the position of Tho Man As the month piece of others. It was a plausible speech in which the Enven Omed malice of tha fanatic was masked by the cunning of the politician. Taken in its whole Tenor and spirit. However it was an u Mist Keable abolition address looking to the final destruction of slavery through external political action and using the anti slavery sentiment As a political lever. If or. Clat had been living and had replied to him How appropriately he might have said As he did on another it is because these Uhra have ceased to employ tie of reason per tuition have made their cause political have appealed to the ballot Boi that i am induced toa dross you. _ leading opinion. It is proper and honorable for any Good citizen of Massachusetts to hold and it being convenient and useful to the Public that there should to such a magistrate residing in this place i did not resign the office within ton Days after the passage of the act Abo referred to nor have i at present and into Tion to do so. 1 have carefully read Tho act and beg Lea to Call the attention of your excellency to the 13th and uth sections which Ata Quot lows a Sec. 13. No Peison who holds and office under the Laws of the United states Quot which qualifies him to Issue any warrant or process or to grand and Undi acts of Congress named in the ninth Section f this act or to serve the same shall at the Auie time hold and office of Honor Trust o emolument under the Laws of this common sub which expose them to punishment under the Law of Tho United states and furnishing no adequate Force to protect them from such punishment and those artful politicians who have wheeled Tho Legi Sla Turo into the enactment of such provisions Servo the severest reprehension. The act is entitled Quot an act to protect the eights and liberties of the people of Tho Commonwealth of yet Tho most that it attempts to do in relation to their right and liberties is to violate them. The unconstitutional provisions indicated by your excellency in your veto of Tho Bill and in the letter of Tho attorney general which accompanied it Are clearly of this those who think to protect our rights and liberties by violating Tho Constitution which secures them Are but poorly qualified for the Trust of protecting them and do not represent the intelligence Tho Wisdom or Tho Patriot a m of the Commonwealth. Whore the violate the rights of the people by unconstitutional provisions it attempts to Embarrass them. Every citizen has the right to Avail himself of Tho Laws of the United states when requires and in every week and almost every Day that passes some of our citizens have of Camion to Avail themselves of those Laws through Tho Agency of Tho United slates commissioner. Yot this act seeks to deter every citizen from holding this office while at Tho same time it does not secession but professes to exist under Agio Gianco to the United states and voted for by those who had sworn such allegiance. If Tho commissioner holds an office under the Golem Rentof Tho state it proposes to punish him by a n unconstitutional removal but if hold no such office it assails him with Rudo vituperation. If i Conw by these Means prevent every citizen of the state from holding Tho Olaco of commissioner the Only effect would be to compel Tho circuit court to select these officers elsewhere to embarr.is3 the i Roplo of this slate in the prosecution and defence of very important Legal rights and to leave Many criminals to escape from Justice. Without noticing All the objectionable features of this act i beg leave to mention one which adopts a principle acted on Only by despotic governments of Tho most arbitrary character but repudiated by every Republican government and by every monarchy that allows to the people any decent measure o . I later to Trio Giglitto to Tainan employ coulis of Aud the right of coulis Al to be retained and employed in the prosecution and defence of cases in courts lady. I venture to assert that this right is o of the essential and necessary safeguards of Law and Liberty. It Mustbe secured tit every person even to criminals of Tho worst Char actor Othen Viso there can be no reliable Security for the just and proper administration of tha Laws of Tho land. But this act assume that the people hold this right atthe pleasure of the legislature and that a part having temporary Power in that body Mav pass St i tubes depriving the citizen of its enjoyment cases where it May to obnoxious to them. The act is apparently designed to Aid Parsons who May be claimed As fugitive slaves be it has no efficiency to Rescue such persons from the authorities of the United states and its most important provisions can 10 of no service to them it cannot fail to destroy much of the benign moral influence that Massachusetts might otherwise exercise cause of human Freedom. I Trust that excellency s Strong and patriotic protest will not remain Long unheeded and that Massachusetts will do herself the Justice to remove this stain from her statute Book. Entertaining the views above expressed i accept Tho office which least for the right of beside no. While Tho nations of Europe offer Only so much toleration As is with the safety of tie state Church America offers full religious Liberty to All. The doctrine of toleration belongs to old not to the now which prefers grander one of Equality of right in countries like England dissenting sects grow Purily up like plants under the Upas tree. In Tho United states there Are no dissenting sects and All grow up Aud bad together like wheat and cheat in tie same Field. The if our institutions knew that the people would winnow Iho True from the false and that Tho bad Grain would always Bear but Small Proi it ortion to Tho Good. It is Trio that Tho ides of Quot Church and slate Quot was at one time half admitted in America. The Early immigrants Pitcl Naej in their turn what they had Suff cod from in the old world. They inflicted punishments for opinion s Sake while pro Feising great liberalism. William Ponn himself was inclined to establish an inquiry into religious opinions ind have theological tests for Sztuora. Tho Connecticut puritans imposed a Fine of Flo pounds on every person who should give a bed and shelter to a Quaker an adamites or. Banter and the Plymouth Rock men who Arae Over to Quot seek Freedom to worship god Quot lulled fined and imprisoned certain dissent irs irom their Faith. Bui these violations of religious Liberty were justified not on promo insist grounds but on reasons of Public Der. The i Zakere &c., it was said showed malicious spirit in coming to disturb Tho puritans when the new world was Broad enough for them to go and establish a society if their own elsewhere if they would come into a Community of different religion it was under an implied contract to keep their tongues quiet. In most of the colonies prior to 1776, Thero was a sort of slate religion Nore or less clearly recognized. Virginia erected Episcopacy into an establishment Catholic Maryland and protestant Sontee car the Christian religion Quot in their constitutions North Carolina and Massachusetts Quot Tho protestant Quot while Penn Sylvania and Delaware stipulated for a belief n Quot Tho inspiration of the scriptures of the old and new but those relics of the old world it Glt speech on the Oregon Bill spoke lows after an arduous r on Tho question be into Tho Union is prohibiting Sla i adopted Between Lut it was done Undi i Ruggle whether Ade it no i True it we listed cilia i that it w South hate Rev us obligatory on Tho la Lei 3d in of Lier distr a Fitilis carried l v Ilio ilm a so United is Ilio a imposed a Ris.

It is True to asked the journal if in whole Creed was embraced in the platform but the inquiry was suggested by the assertion of our neighbors that they had frequently declared their whole Creed on slavery. The context shows that we were desirous to elicit comment and explanation about Tho platform which it seems they Aro resolved not to give. To want a reply to what to said on monday and for fear it maybe forgotten we publish it again Quot every one perceives at a glance that the Only practical and tangible Plank in the platform on the slavery question is the restoration of the Missouri comp Winise. The Otylior clauses Aro Mere generalities which can be made to mean every thing any thing or nothing. If Tho fusion is opposed to the Extension of slavery into my of the territories there was neither acc easily nor propriety in referring to a geographical line and such Rofe Aiice by co vein a false impression was a dishonest act. If they Are willing to admit slavery South of thai Quot line thou their Leigh sounding generalities arc they Lake either Horn of the dilemma they Are convicted of insincerity.

A meeting of Tho state Council of k. A s were in session last week at . A platform was adopted which has not been published �3 yet but to understand there is Little difference Between it and that of the Republican mass meeting. The action of tha delegates to the Philadelphia convention were endorsed and the National platform rejected. Tho Council also declared itself entirely disconnected from Tho National Council and made arrangements to correspond with All the seceding states for the purpose of effecting a Northern organization and Tho nomination of a Man for the presidency in 1856. To have but few words to relative to this action of Tho state Council. We regret very much the course they Havo taken and cannot think they represented the will of the party in the state. What right had they to absolve the Patty from All connection with the a Tate onal Council they assumed a responsibility of which they had no right.

Even if it were in my Power to remove any a Jeclin to my appointment by a resignation if the office of commissioner of Tho u. S.

I am under Tho obligation of an oath to support the cons Lillion of the United Stales and the of , and this act Palm Abl and grossly violates both its obvious purpose is to nullify a Law of the United slates. Lis most important provisions cannot be enforced without a direct conflict with the courts and officers of the United Stales Aud in Case of such collision the citizen of Massachusetts who obeys this la can have no immunity from punish rent under the Laws of the United slates except by Ilu tonary movement which shall pros trate the Power of Tho United states within this Commonwealth. Neither my views of duty nor my inclinations will Load Molo engage in any such proceedings nor to encourage any of my fellow citizens to do so. Nordo i believe that the intelligent and candid citizens of Massachusetts or of Tho United states generally feel any sentiment of respect towards nullification in any of its forms. In whatever shape it has appeared and in whatever part of the Union it has been radio Olony and contemptible. Tho idea of remaining in the Union swearing to support its Constitution and enjoying the Benefit of its Laws so far As they Are agreeable to la and. Are cml desired. If there were two thousand mormon a Oters now in Kentucky to Sli Ould heir votes for on candidates and we should link it right to make any True statement calculated to induce them to vote with us rather than with Tho Sag nights.

Toe Evans vice Jot Mai. On the k. N Evansville journal the leading k. N. Paper in Southern Indiana thus Speaks of the action of the slate Council at their meeting in this City on the 13lh but the american part of this stale Wilh the exception of that portion in the first District have annulled the platform of the National convention so far As their future action Tion is concerned. In doing this knowing that the action of the Republican conven., a Ion would be they probably acted the paint if Wisdom for Success in Indiana but the part of Folly for the National Success of what was intended to to and what has been till the last month a National party. Uey Law timal adopt Sil which to have no doubt Mil he successful in carrying this stale at the next elect Ion but it is not that policy which can assist in securing Success Over the in late Union for the National principles of the party for the National objects to sustain which the party was first formed. But those relics of the old world Sysler were All swept away by Tho profound disc Sions and awakened nationalism of the Revi inti opiary period. Tho Golem mental i separa Lod from Tho religious idea Tho fun lion of the Tito was single not double our. National Eagle had but one heed not two in Austria. The business of the stale \ reduced to keeping Tho peace and protecting Tho rights of individuals and acting for a few interests common to All. It did not under take to furnish the people with any theological ideas whatever it would not inquire either into their religious doctrines it refrained from inquiring whether he was a monarchist or Republican. It left each Man at Liberty to think As he pleased and Tho people at Lily try 1 1 select for office any citizen Thev might think capable caving them to decide whether his religious in political opinions were sound. Its proper sphere was the Maint Nanco of order Tho prevention of encroachment on rights the preservation of the principle of Equality. Tho National Constitution constrains no Cou science it allows an wifi act elect either to take an oath or affirm under Tho pains and penalties of perjury provided he wishes to oboe Trio Comman Somr not at All Quot it prob ibis Congress from preferring any religion it likes or oppressing any religion it the Mussulman and the Hindoo arc As tree and eligible under our on verment As the Shaker the israelite the a methodist or tie Baptist. Among All the slate constitutions there e Only four that hint at theological tests of any kind. Pennsylvania and Delaware state Gat ively Tho general doctrines of the exist Ico of god Anil a failure state of rewards and punishments doctrines belonging to natural religion and by implication Liev give the Ighel to the to make belief in Liem to Liol Ding office.

This is As it should be. Men have murdered each other Long enough for differences on theological Points. They Havo been Gladi Alom fighting for Ina stors who looked on from the boxes while lolling of purple Cusoli ions Aud it was time that a Sovereign Copl Lould throw its scepter into Tho Arena am in Inland the Slaughter to . Tho american system ignores the Peculia doctrines of every sect. We go farther and say it ignores the sects themselves. It docs not negative or deny them.
