V N"' and alltliat is wanted Is to let ono another know liow you fool, and ynu will bo surprised to find bo rriany olhersfC,ady to follow thoso deeply Impressed convic tions. Do not bo afralu. Let every truo man in the State know every other tmo man. Yon may bo Old Hunkers. They aro not the worst creatures In tho World, becauso thero are a ureal many old Hunkers who have humanity in their hearts, but tho dilliculty is that they have so long been in the halut of neglect- ing thcit humanity that they liavo almost forgotten that they had any. Now let this manhood come up, let it liavo vent. You liavo voted all your lives with party, hut do ynu know how many times you have voted against conviction t Mako up your minds to follow your convictions lo tho ballot-boxes, and when you have mado up your mind, tell your neighbor, and you will lie surprised to find that ho is ready to do tlio eaino thing.. You want somo sort of system in llils State by which ihoso determined lo stand right ond act together upon this great question, may know every other truo heart. Now let mo say a. single word lo a class of my audienco not generally supposed to liavo much to do Willi this matter. 1 want to appeal to tho women of Now York. I sco somo aro disposed to sneer and nsk, "Why talk to tho women? llicy do not vote." I know it. I know it ued to bo tho fashion, once, when you had a meeting, lo belittle it by saying most of tho audience woro women and children. A'cry good; If I wanted to regenerate the State, give mo an audienco of women and children. Give mo them, and tiio old gentlemen may stay at homo ; or go, if they please, but take tho back scats. Dut let the women and children come ; let tho truth sink deep into their hearts. T.ho women of New York havo an immenso responsibility. Think of your daughters. Think what a horrible lot is before them, brought up In womanhood, blooming in youth and beauty, and adorned with all tho accomplishments of life ; and then bo consigned to the embraces of old Hun- kors. Great laughter. I ask mothers to sco that the first lessons of maternal love aro mingled with admo nitions of fidelity to this subject. While in tho Sen- ate of the United States, I received a letter from the mother of five children, Sho wrote about tho timo : oi mo passage oi mis ucauiuui iiuiiproimsu ivci, Sho wrote in despair, and put the question to me, 41 What can I do? I havo determined that I nan do one thing, and that T will do faithfully : I will indoc trinate the riiilmi," And when she has done that, ho has done much. You can do much, very much to wards tho moral & political regeneration of this Stato. One other subject. I want to appeal to Christians, to those who pofess to bo tho followers of tho Prince of Peace. I tell you it is my settled and firm con viction that if tho Churches would just wake up to llin first nrinoinlea nf their OUtV. it WOUld not 1)0 ICIt to poor politicians like myself lo arguo this question. 'Though I may drive slavery out of the Democratic or out of tho Whig party, what can I do if it can go and hide itself behind the altars of the Church? What good for poor politicians to talk about slavery, if you go into tho Churches of tho Lord Jesus Christ witlt hands dripping witli the blond and pollution of slavery, and sit down and break the elements of his crucified body ? I ask you, Christian friends, to wake up upon the subject, and let tllero be in the high places of tho Church, and in tho low places, too, fi delity to tliis great question, and do not let thoso who are reeking with the guilt and pollution and blood of this sin find excuse or countenance in the fellowship with which you receive them into tho Christian Church. Just as lung as the Church halts, and fal ters upon this subject, so long will slavery maintain its position in the field. Dut it is said that at the north we have nothing to do with slavery. I think I havo demonstrated that if we liavo nothing lo do with slavery, slavery has a crest deal In do with us. Wo can at least form this resolution, ii iiui , . .... bo arrested, if the judgment of Heaven must come down upon tho nalinn fr tins multiplied wrongs of this syhlem, wo can rcsolvo that in tho day of reckon- ing the blood of tho victims of oppression shall not be found upon our garments. Great applause. Labor and the Money Power. And who can adequately describe the triumphs of labor, urged by tho potent spell of money? It has -extorted the secrets of the universe, aud trained its powers into myriads of forms of uso and beauty. From tho bosom of the old ereaiion, it has developed anew, the creation of industry ami art. It has been its glory lo overcome obstacles. Mountains have been levelled and valleys exalted befuro it. It has broken tho rocky soil into fertile glado ; it has crowned tho hill-tops witli fruits and verdure, and bound around tho feet of ocean, ridges of golden coru. Up from the sunless and hoary deeps, up from the shapeless quarry, it drags its spotless marble, and rears its places of pomp. It tears the stubborn metals from tho bowels of tho globe, and makes ihcm ductile to its will. It marches steadily on over tho swelling flood, and through llic mountain clefts. It fans its way through tli o winds oi ocean, tramples us tioarse surges and mingles with the flakes of fire. Civilization follows in its path. It achieves greater victories, it weaves more durablo trophies, it holds wider sway than the conquerer. His naino becomes tainted, and his mon uments crumble ; but labor converts his red battle fields into gardens and erects monuments significant of heller things. -It-ridos in a chariot driven by the wind. It writes witli lightning. It sits crowned as a queen in a thousand cities, and sends up its roar of triumph from a million of wheels. It glistens in the fabric of tho loom, it rings and sparkles from the steely hammer, it glorio3 in the shape of beauty, it speaks words of power, it makes the sinewy arm strong with liberty, tho poor man's heart rich with content, and crowns the swarthy and sweaty brow with honor, and dignity, aud peace. This, then, is ono glorious result from money power. It has projected these great achievements nf frco labor and industrial cnterpriso which have beautified tho earth, revealed and applied new forces, opened new departments of activity, meliorated tho condition and elevated the nature of man. Dut this is by no means the highest good it has wrought. It has been the chief occasion of the splendid revelation in the last two centuries, which havo effect ed the progrcsss of humanity, lilias been almost tho only power strong enough to cope with and overcome feudal despotism. I do not call it tho great principle of these movements, but it was the medium through which great principles acted it made an issuo for great piinciples, J?ci. E, H. Chapin. Pldmdago is Nelson, N. II. A mine of Plumba go, or Dlack Lead, has been recently .discovered in Nelson N. II. Tho Nashua Telegraph gives the fol lowing singular circumstances attending its discovery: "These mines are upon tho homestoud of Huv. (5nd Newell, owned by Dr. O. P. Newell. The Doctor's cow failed to como home as usual, a few nights since, and in the morning she was found dead, having slip ped down the steep hill and caught her horns in some way so as to bieak her neck. One of the Messrs. Frencli went up to seo whero the "old cow died," and looking along where she had slipped, he found she had uncovered a ledge of the purest lead, and of great extent. The land lies upon the side hill, so as to ba drained and operated with the greatest facility. "The right to work these mines wo believe is se- cured by Messrs. French, who have all tho machinery for the manufacture of the article into various mar ketable shapes. Dut tho land is owned by Dr. Newell to whom a hanlrSnmo percentage is paid for all lead taken out, Dy tho lots of his cow, ho has 'struck a mine' which cannot fail to mike him independent, Tile stove polish manufactured by Messrs French is tlig very best article in market."

It docs my heart good I fool a sort of rcjuvenescenco in my wholo-Jrame, (applause,) Iosco so many young faces bofuro mo, destined, I trust, to establish liberty, equality, freedom and independence, not only in Mas sachusetts, but in all America, oven to save tho Un ion. When I came from homo I resolved not to speak. I was determined that I would not, even if called up on ; and this resolution I now rcsolvo and rc-rcsolve, that I will not violate. Dut, having alluded to tho old Jewish lawgiver, I will recur to his history unco more. We aro told, in tho Bible, that in tho prog rcss of tho Israelites through tho wilderness, tiioy woro obstructed by the children of Amalck, and wo aro told that they had a pitched battle, and that whilo Moses held up his hands, tho Israelites prevailed ; but when ho let them fall, tho children of Amalek prevailed. Wo aro told, further, that Aaron and Hur stood up on each side of Moses, and held up his hands in order that tho Israelites might prevail, and they did prevail. Now, I thank God that I can hold up both my hands without assistance. Thus far I am a little more favored than Moses; and if the fervent prayer of so incorrigible a sinner as I am can havo an effect, these hands I will hold up, and I will pray f ,10 sllcccs3 nf ti10 Frcc Soil party so lonjr as I havo broalll t0 prav for anJ.t,jnp. (Loud applause.) The Koszta Affair. No American can read the following compliments induced by Captain Ingraham's conduct in the Koszta affair, without feeling his heart swell with prido. Tho London Advertiser says. "Tho mother may leani profitable lessons from her daughter. Young America sets examples to Old England, which it were well for tho latter to imitate. Tho United States though in their infancy as compared with tho nations of Europo, not only possess greater t-innr tl.n nnv ntlmr fnitnli-v iinilnr llin nn lull, hnvlnrr ,h0 main's strencth. the Republic knows how to wield it for her own interests and her own honor. America is no craven country. She has coutago, and sho knows when and how to display it. No power will insult lier with impunity. Sho has not only a quick perception of what is an affront, but sho loses not a moment in rcsentiii" it. Wo say, what all see, that America can, and that she wii.i. protect her citizens aud guests.

Wo sec it again now. llio reason is nlain. America represents the principle of liberty that makes every people her ally. American statesmen speak and write in tho interests of a country, not or class. 1 ho act of this American Captain is the themo of England, of Germany and Franco. Their journals .nt iho people feel. Even the Charivari jests no more; but shouts, "nmr mn .-- . Fuoitive Slave Law. Tho Department of the Interior at Washington, received on Monday a letter from Col. Wynkoop, Marshal of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, stating that three of his deputies were on the point of being arrested on a Slate war- rant, charging thcin with riotous or illegal conduct in tho execution of a warrant issued by Justice Grier of tho U. S. Supremo Court, for the arrest of a negro claimed as a slave, Islirm Keith of A'irginia.

A lie Secretary replied, by telegraph, directing him to lose no timo in consulting tho Dictrict Attorney, and to take any measures for the defense which he might decm necessary, assuring him that the Department and the whole Government are determined, at all haz ards and at any cost, to carry out the provisions of the Fugitivc'Slavo Law. Si'jniT ok tjic South. Tho Michigan Free Dcm-oci-tf says : " A gentleman from New Orleans, a na- live of tho South, who was in our sanctum a few inin- ! u(es sinco, remarked that they who had always lived in tho midst of slavery know its evils better than any XT ., n . n i , , ' v Northern man could tell them. They hated slavery while tho force of circumstances held them to it. Dut thero was ono thing they despised moro than slavcry, and that was a silly, lying apology for it by a Northern man, who had no excuso for his mendac ity. Wlipn Northern men, bred in tho lovo of Froo- dom, and the perpetual assertion of it, attempt to su gar over slavery, they know thoy lie ; and Southern men know they aro deliberately and wilfully lying too." " Solitahv and Alone." Tho Philadelphia In quirer says Col. Denton is now scventy-ono years old, and adds : " Wo saw hinvtho other day on tho pave ment near his house in Washington. Ho is tho youngest looking man of seventy wo have ever seen ; rather fuller in habit and broader than ho used to appear. Ho wears his hat with a knowinjr expres sion a little on tho left side, walks with a deliberate and measured tread, having something like prido in its seeming something that bespeaks a consciousness that ho is Thomas Hart Denton. He feels his pow ers, and so does his country, and so will it ever, His mark will bo left upon tho era of his life. Few men of equal intellectual power and knowledge havo appeared on this stage of action. In C,n5n.al' a fuw davs aRi a ghl named Eliza beth Clay shot a man named John E. Murray through tho head, killing him instantly. Murray had succee ded in accomplishing her xuin under a promise of marriage, and then deserted her and married another woman. Whether tho jury, in deciding this case, may render a verdict of 'murder' or 'justifiable homi cide,' thero can hardly be a doubt that tho perpetra tor who inflicted upon his victim a cruelty worse than death, baa got no moro than his deserts.-.- .

Dear Democrat : I have just returned from a trip of fifty miles into the country, from Milwaukee to Delevan. 1 found a plank road all tho way i toll gates collecting at tiio rato of two cents a mile oil out two-horse carriage. . . .1 am exceedingly surprised at the aspect of things thus far in this "far awayState." There is nothing to remind ono of a new country, ex cepting hero and there a snug log tenement still oc cupied, and many an old one, just back oftUc- new framed or brick houso, reserved for the of. tho cow or sheep. Dy tho way, I sco few largo barns in the country ; the hay and straw is mostly stacked out, and very abundant in proportion to the locks & herds to bo seen ; which leads me to infer iiat much of it will ho transported to the cities and litcboard. Tho whole way was marked by the most satisfactory evi dences of comfort and advanced civilr.ation. I regret that I had not counted thoiiumbcr of teams conveying grain to Milwaukee whilh wo passed in our journey. On some of these loadj of grain, moun tain high, women tidily dressed wrt-0 seated beside men, evidently their husbands or fibers, and appa rently unconscious of the great war ot 'sphores' which is being waged elsewhere with so jiuch spirit. In mv notices of this country I intenc to present more particularly thoe things in which itjfiFcM, and thoso advantages which it possesses in cotimon witlt us at the East. In short, I would if I coitd, givo our rea ders a correct idea of Wisconsin as i'Miomc to come to ;" for I feel now as I did not before I had looked upon her broad prairies, gallant lakes and noble hu manity, that Wisconsin is destined to Utract n large proportion of the sons and daughters Wjo turn their faces westward from the green hills of my mtivc Stato.

From Oregon. A general Indian war appears to have lately broken out in Oregon, and promises to be a war of extermination. The Governor had sout to Van Couvcr's Island for arms, which wero promptly forwarded to Rogue River. Judge Skinner, Indian Agent for Roguo Ricr district, had been butchered in a horrible manner by the Indians.

Mr. Maroy's Reply to Austria. This reply is strong, clear, and unequivocal. It denies Iho claim of, Austria, and makes that claim ap pear so unwotthy and contemptible that the Czar him self Would bo nshamcd of it, if his policy allowed him to bo ashamed of anything. The document shows great ability, and will establish Mr. Marcy'a reputation as a diplomatist. Tho Austrian communication, to which it is a re sponse, urged the following points, viz: that Koszta had never ceased to bo an Austrian subject ; that tho Austrian Consul had a right to seize him in Smyrna ; that Capt. Ingraham was guilty of declaring war n gainst Austria ; that ho violated tho tights of a neu tral port ; add finally, that the government of tho U nitcd Slates must disavow tho conduct of its agents in tho Koszta affair, "call them to a severe account, and tender to Austria a satisfaction proportionate to tho magnitude of the outrage." Mr. Marcy says, in reply: that our government entirely approves of tho conduct of its agents in this affair ; that Austria's claim to a right to arrest refit- Bees in Turkey was decided against her in tho case" of Kossuth and his companions ; that Koszta had si'ico taken measures to become an American citizen ; conuiuon no enjoyeu ueiuru no was bcizcu in uiosireeis , "t.

Tfl ,llis 5Ir- Maroy replies, that the Sultan makes no of,sch complaint against us, and our Government does not recognize tho right of Austria to make it. In discussing tho question of allegiance and tho right of a man to transfer his relations of citizenship from ono nation to another, Mr. Marcy puts forth this doctrine for the consideration of tho despots : ' "When tho Sovereign power, wheresoever it may be placed, docs not answer tho ends for which it is be stowed wlicn it is not exerted for tho general wel fare of the people, or has become oppressive to indi viduals this right to withdraw rests on as firm a ba sis, and is similar in principle, to tho right which lo . gitimatizes resistanco to tyranny." Wo 1,01' tho Czar wiU study that doctrine until ho fecls edified. Commonwealth. Three Days Later from Europe, The steamship Arabia, from Liverpool the 21th tilt, arrived at New York on Thursday morning, brinjjinir will mako no concession, cither to Russia or to tho combined peace-making powers. Austria has fairly backed out of the coalition of powers, and is disposed to side witli Russia. The Turks aro in tho highest pitch of fanaticism, and even call upon tho Sultan to declare war, or abdicate his throne. A bitter feeling is exercised by tho Mussclmcn a- gainst England, and it is said that another difficulty patches to tho Sultan, urging him to accept tho Vicn- na note, pure and simple. Thero is no news of impottanco from England. At Newcastle tho deaths from cholera averaged 111) , per day. Other places report from one to thirty deaths , daily. Steps have been taken at Sheffield to raise a sum of money for Kossuth. The French Emperor, it is said, has recently declarcd.'in connexion witli the Turkish question, that he shall not go to war. Ho and the Empress set out on thcS-Jd tilt, on their North- , enl tour. At Liverpool, breadstuff's were active and advan cing. Within tho week, flour had advanced 18d., wheat 5d., and corn Id.
