...The time is fast coining when men's principles vill be tested. Let us who have publicly come to the standard that all men aro worthy our aid, la: bor faithfully, keeping' the flag waving at mast head until, freedom, shall reijrn throuffhout this land, or until death shall close the scene with us on earlh. ; 7 Yours, truly, , J. HQLCOMB. Mr. Adams' Letter. .Prof, WuiuHT, of the Massachusetts Abulition 1st, is reviewing the late letter of Mr.' Adams, We give two paragraphs, embracing- Mr. Wright's re ply to what we consider the main fallacies of Mr. Adams on the slavery question. Taking it or granted that our readers have given the Letter an attentive perusal, we now invite a candid consid eration of the arguments on the other side. First. The impracticability. With nil defer ence, is it not a sufficient reply to this argument to ask, what reform would ever be practicable, if no one should advocate it till it had a majority in its favor ? Mr. Adams has the proud reputation of an independent statesman. He does not square his politics by parties or majorities, but by what he considers sound ethics and right reason. Of ten has his honored name been found; on minori ties exceedingly small. J3ut on the strength of this argument, why did he not vole with the ma jority? : Why does he contend for the right of peti tion ? Mr. Van Buret) is against it j the whole South is against it its exercise is scarcely less impracticable than abolition in the District. We blush for such ah argument from the pen of John Quincy Adams.- It is unworthy of his reputation and most sadly inconsistent with the best deeds of bis life. The Calhouns and Harpers and Dews laugh in their sleeves. Willingly will they listen to twelve day speeches, or twelve month speeches, if tha representative will bind himself by the will,, not of his own, but of every body's constituents, not to act till he can act in a majority- Is the -Nestor of the American Congress a mere legisln-" ling machine '( Does lie quietly Milism!- to t! it' tioctnnc, mat any uiocuueuci pssc-wed ol the pabilitics of a weathercock in the wind of" lie opinion," might fill his place os well r.s ! ca-nl-i:n- sell f rlis letters, re.plete with heart stirring quencc, prove that he does not. They show t'l that on some high subjects he feels charged with the important mission o! reforming " public opinion." Powerfully has he contributed to do it. Then why not strive to remove the mere temporary and vincible impracticability which opposes the abo- i . r, . i .i i i mion oi slavery wuntn tne national domain i This brings us, secondly, to The will of the People of the District Mi. Adams assumes that the act of abolition in the District is not " to operate at ull " upon people out ol the district. Un tins assumption and noth ing eise, ms argument' rests, vve mignt argue that if a majority of the people of this Union only thought it would operate upon them, that would be sufficient under the terms of the Constitution jo jusiny an aci oi anouuon immediate ana un compensated, ' But we waive the advantage We contend that tne Set ot abolition will operate upon all. We aver that slavery in that District is a grievance to the entire people of the United States. We hold that it is a violation of our own rights. We are willing to grant that in cases where its constituents, the people of the United States, are not concerned, Congress is bound to legislate for the District of Columbia, as far as justice and the free principles of our republic will admit, according to the will of a majority of the people (the entire people) of that District. But t he present is nst such a case with the emphasis of the last seven thunders, it is at the farthest possible remove from such a case ! Human in genuity may be, and it hereby is, defied to put a cac in which the people out of the District could have a stronger interest in its laws, or a stronger claim to the use in their favor of that power of ex clusive "legislation in all cases whatsoever, over the District, wherewith Congress is invested by the Constitution. . Will you talk to us about pub lic buildings, and streets for the accommodation of representatives, and freedom from personal arrests by the local authorities? Our lawmakers had better meet in the loft of a stable, walk to their lodgings ancle deep in the mud, ahd run the risk of having "their debt collected to their own and the public inconvenience our Majesty the Pres ident, and the representatives of their majesties of Europe, had better drive their coaches over corduroys of the biggest Ohio logs, than that "We the people of these United. States," should hear on our republican forehead the brand of HYPOC RISY. Is reputation nothing ? If it is something for one man, is it nothing for ten millions ? Is fiatriotism a figure of speech a non-entity- a ie ? If not it is of some consequence to a man that he should have a country which he can love and honor. For what did we goto war with the first power of the world twenty seven years ago ? Was it to rescue six or seven hundred rovers up on the ocean from the muster roll of British men-of-war ? Did their .. fate interest the nation at large, which poured out its money and its blood, any more than does now the fate of six or seven thousand in the District, suffering a thousand fold worse bondage ?' Not at all. We declared war to vindicate our national . reputation to de monstrate the sanctity of our national aegis. Now every ingenuous American inind feels that slave ry in the national domain, nestling, with its pri vate prisons and all the ihferntrt appliances of its trade, under the national law, is a deep disgrace ; more than all that, that it is a token of perdition to all those hopes which, for his posterity and his kind, he had fondly built upon tho frame work of tree government." The anchor ol his pat riotism loses its hold, and ho drifts awav before the gale of the world's scornworse than "country less. Just in proportion, too, as his confidence in the honor and justice of his country is weakened he is damaged in all his energies, All ihis is lit erally and inevitably true of every man who, like tho five millions of petitioners, is awake to the na tura and tendencies of slavery, and tq tho feollngs of the civilized world in regard to it, Is pot John Quincy Adams so awake ? Then why does ho, with thefuUpower of his country's charter in his hand, hesitate ifl take from slaveholders in the District, that Jo whiefy he avows they have no right and can have none ? Why does he sacrifice the highest and tho noblest jpterests of his country or, to say the least, of half a million of his coun trymen, to the will of a few Jiundrei slaveholders in the District? For the reproach of slavery in the States, the States jn their sovereignty are alone responsible. After hayjng 4.one what we can 1 in directly,' as Mr. Athcrton phrases it, we may wash pur hands,. But over sja very in the District we have T II the power. The free States may nbolish it. Hence they must bear the disgrace till they do. They must bear the whole ; for the slave States have a heavier load of their own, We may try to throw it on the people of the District, but they will not bear it. They will tell you they do not make their own laws. They will tell you more ; they will tell you that if, as a majority, they wish ed slavery abolished, with the lynch knives of all the South at their throats, they dare not express their will. ' So far as publio acts are concerned, they dare do nothing else than swear into the words' of John C. Calhoun, that slavery is a bles sing. The whites of the District, like all the whites of the slave States, are bound down and crushed by that universal omnipresent Lynch law, as If by a mountain of brass. Go to the racks and the iron boots and the thumb screws of the Spanish Inquisition for free will, but riot to the "people of the District," We have our sur mise that, if the entire population of the ten-mile square could at this moment be placed in a state of positive free agency, with a reasonable guaran tee against ' foreign interference,' there Would be a clear vote in fvor of immediate abolition. This hypothesis is atleast as good as the contrary ; and till this point can be settled, the 'will of the peo ple of the District' has mathematically and truly no business in the problem. Mr. Adams' Letter. The following notice of Mr. Adams' Letter is from the pen of Dr. Bai ley, the accomplished editor of the Cincinnati Philanthropist: . We have read Mr. Adams' second letter, with much pleasure and much pain. " It is replete with truth & error, dressed out in Mr Adams' best style. The letter is a powerful one, eloquent, even among his most eloquent productions. But it is like the image which Nebuchadnezzar saw in his dream. ' This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and bis thighs of brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron, and part nf Cay.' ;Yh Adiinis exhibits himself in this letter not only, h-i the foe of slavery, hut a decided antago nist d! ao'iiihiiiiin. Ail over tne country,, we doubt i:u , tii.'iv will bcr rejoicing in the ranlcs of pro-,lavrv men, lis li abolition had received i quietus. Such triumph will be as short lived, as was the exultation o: Patriarch Calhoun, on the delivery ol vlaJ' s speech. Abolition does not live in the breath of great men, nor can their breath I'Vtingtiisli it. Mr. Adams did not origi nate Uie anti-slavery excitement, nor can he quench it. His letter will add fuel to the flame. Its fate will be like thatpf the incongruoqs image oi me jsaoyioman. " Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out with' out hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were ol iron and clay, and broke them to pieces. Then were the iron, the clay, the brass the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floor, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them ; and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.' Never has our hone been more confident that abolition would fill the whole earth, than after reading the anti-colonization, anti-slavery, nnti-ab' olition, pro-nothing letter of John Quincy Adams, We shall publish the whole letter as soon as possible, and venture on a few comments. Domestic. Arrival of Mr. Van Ness. The Hon. Cornelius P. Van Ness arrived in town on Wednesday evening, and was received with the respect due to his station. Agreeable to previous arrangement a deputation of friends were sent to W hilehall to meet and welcome him, and a committee appointed to receive him at the wharf. The Whitehall was handsomely decorated with lings &c lor the occasion, and came into the Uay at an early hour, in handsome style under the discharge of artillery, answered by a gun from the battery, ' As he landed on the wharf the band struck up " Home, sweet home," and the custo mary salute of fifteen guns to a foreign minister, was opened from the break-water. 1 he procei sion then formed, under the direction of Col. I nomas, assisted by a number ol active young men as deputy marshals, and moved to the rarK where Mr. Van Ness was addressed in behalf of the citizens by N. B. Haswell, Esq. in his usual lelicitous manner, 1 lie reply was neat and ap propriate. Such as the circumstances of the case were naturally calculated to inspire. As the ad dress pnd reply will ol course be published, we shall not attempt a synopsis. The Governor was then conducted to his quarters at the American, where a large concourse of citizens assembled to pay the respect due to an old neighbor, on his re turn from an honorable mission, after an absence of ten years. Mr. Van Ness, we are happy to add appears to enjoy very good health, and still retains much of the manly vigor that characterised his earlier life. Burlington Free Press, '' ', The Treaty with the Scminoles, . The following amusing account of General Macomb's Grand Seminole Council, is contained in a letter published in the National Gazette, dated Gary's Ferry, May 21lh, The General-in-cheif embarked at Pilutka this morning for Charleston ; whence he will make portentous strides to Washington as his own her ald, to lay before his august clemency the result of his interesting diplomacy. I have received sev eral letters from friends who were at the Council, mid tlioy unite in in ridiculing the whole affair as furnishing fond.(nys one) that the pen of n satyrist might dress into a most dainty dish." Those who wet t to the Indian , camp represent the squaws tp be in tho most deplorable state of nudity, although well stocked with provisions and impudence, One of my friends thus describes the ludicrous scene at the Council General Macomb; " Chiefs and WarrioFs I am Major General of tho .army, and I have been sent by your Great Father, the President of the United States, to commune with you, and acquaint you with his wishes that you would cease mur during us, and leave us alone." Which being in terpreted by black John Philip, the Indians sar castically smiled, and uttered vafi'H ; . " Your Groat Father wishes to put on end. to a war which has already been too long procrastinated for tho welfareand happiness of both belligerents." (Here was a cry from several pf the red Jegislu- VOICE O 1 FliEE DOM. tors for more whisky.) ' Chiefs nod warriors, listen. J your Great pother dearly loves his red children, and provided they will go and live' near lampa Kay, e Will give them all the ltind which lies within these limits," (showing u map of the country,) When the General had concluded his speech, whioh was interpreted by sentences, John Philip was directed to interpret the reply of the Snace Lawyer, which he d(d a? follows, addressing Gen eral Macomb ; '' - .... . '" OLD BOSS : he sny he berry glad to soe you. and hear you cum wid good tings. He say he fraid he gib you heap a trouble ; he will want so much whiskey, - . The council adjourned sine die. The General js in uncommonly buoyant spirits, and reposes the most unlimited confidence in the peaceful professions of tho Sounnolos. How much ho will bo decievedv a few short months will illustrate, The intelligence from the post generally, represent that small bodies of Indians come in, prolessiug peaoeaule views, while they are gormandizing upon the fat of the land, (pork) in obedience to orders. ! - More of Life in Mississippi. Tho Natchez Courier contains a letter dated at Jackson, Miss. May 16, which exhibits the deplorable condition to which society'is reduced ; in that State, and ol which we have recently had but loo many ' terri ble examples.' It appears that Gov. McNuttwas contemptuously spit upon by IJ. L.. Dixon, Clerk of the Chancery Court, some few weeks since, and that one A. J. Paxton thought it to be his duty in the public papers to wipe awav the stain Ihis was the origin of the affair, and here is the sequel, as given in the Natchez Courier. It is an extract from a letter dated Jackson, ltith May. W e would wish to abridge it, but there is such a chain of circumstances that we cannot well do so. The writer says : " On yesterday, R. L. Dixon, the Clerk of the Chancery Court, attacked A. J. Paxton in the ro tunda of the copitol, and gave him a very severe caning, for nnd on account of a publication of Paxton 's which appeared in the Mississinpian of the Jil inst. Judge Mcliniley, of the U. S. Court. (then in session in the capitol.) fined Dixon five bundled dollars for contempt of court. In the ev ening, Mr. Puxton and his friends, about twenty in number, prepared lor an attack on Dixon, by arming themselves with guns and pistols, and placed themselves in a house by which Dixon was most sure to pass in going to and from his office. Dixon hearing of this, prepared himself for de fence by taking his stand in the street, where he stood for half an hour, when P. sent him a chal lenge, which u would not accept, assigning as his reasons that he had a lucrative ollice, and should he accept a challenge he would lose it, and by the law be debarred from the privilege of ever again holding an office in the State. Fuxton then came out and commenced advancing on Dixon, who told him if he advanced further it would be at the risk of his life, at which Paxton slopped and denounced Dixon, and then retired, when the crowd simultaneously shouted, ' Hurrah for Dix on.' Here the matter of yesterday seems likely to stop. But this evening: the old Parish Judge McKin ley, of the United States Court, after adjourning the court, and whilst on his way to bis room, had his nose pulled severely by a Mr. James H. Boyd, a Voting man who hod been acting as officer; of the.court during the aforesaid fray between D. and P.i'and for not interfering was called 'a stupid Jackass' by Judge McKinley, for which he had his smeller pulled, dec. 5cc. lie (Boyd) is justi fied by every one whom I have heard speak of the matter, and will be sustained.',' The " Hurrah for Dixon" given above, shews pretty plainly the false feeling of courage which prevails in Mississippi ; and till it is hooted down by the irresistible voice of public opinion, a bet ter state of things may be looked for in vain. So long as a man is visited with public opprobrium, for not engaging in an affair of blood, all laws en acted for the prevention of such scenes will be nugatory and unavailing. A- radical reform is needed. May we look out for its advent? The sight of his native shore could not more gladden the heart of the shipwrecked mariner than would the arrival of such an epoch create in the bosoms of all who love the constitution advocate' the majesty of the laws, and are the friends of gener al order.- Sun. Eaii, Rqaus. One of the stockholders of the Nashua and Lowell Railroad has informed us, that at their late meeting a dividend was made, which amounted tq'ti per cent interest, besides re serving $8,000 for future dividend, If a road were extended to Concord, it would without doubt be equally good stock, Any person who travels between this town and Nashua, must be convinc ed, from the number of loaded teams seen on the way, that a Railroad is needed, both for the pres ervation pf the road for ordinary travelling, and lor the transportation, ol produce.. In the course of 5 hours upon this road recently, we are confi dent we saw not less than 40 of these loaded teams carrying from 3 to 7 tons each. . Iijvery one who raises produce is interested in such a mad. It brings him within 4 hours travel of a market : whereas, at present he is several days distant. When the Railroad from Boston to Buffalo is com pleted, those two places will be almost as i near each other as Concord and Boston without a Rail road. Loads are now transported from here to Boston in about 3 days ; with a Railroad the same would be done in 4 hours. BuOUlo is about 500 miles from Boston ; this distance can be trav elled easily in two days by rail road, It will be seen at once, then, how important the road is to us, to give us equal privileges itj tl(e markpt.-r- i. on cor a 4. anopuj. 1 Great Finp. Accounts from Port Gibson, the seat of justico in Glaribone county, Mississippi, state that that place has been visited by a dreadful conflagration, The fire broke out on the 1st inst. The cause or first origin is not mentioned, or whether it occured' at ' night, or in the day time, The extent of Us ravages was very greats-fpr a country vjljago, perhaps unequalled. The court house, the jail, the bank, the principal taverns, the stores, and two thirds of the vvhola.towr) was qoni sumed. Port Gibson is a flourishinff inland vilr age, situated on Bayou Pierre, about 8 miles from the Grand Gulf on the Mississippi, It hps a population of about J500 inhabitant, and had ma ny tasteful and elegant buildings, The calamity that has thus bereaved it of its wealth and cQinlir ness, will add greatly to tho weight of fye afflicr tions that have thus far borne so heavily unon the people qf Mj.ssissippi.--iV.
