The Next State Election. t hi 1 1 11 -i '1 5.1 Weonpy the following article from the Athtabula Senfinel and hope that the im portance of the subject w ill secure for it the immediate attention of the friends of freedom in the State. That a convention should be held early in the spring, and tharthe State Central Committee should fix upon a day in order that there may be a general circulation of the notice of time and place is apparent. Every lover of good and just laws and hater of oppression, is directly interested in the overthrow of that false and reckless party which has olSog heaped shame and obloquy upon the name of " Democracy." Though overwhelmed last fall in a defeat without parallel in the political history of the States, they possess means of influence in the administration of the State government which are! potent and dangerous, and whichan only, be met by a prompt and, harmonious consolidation of the republi can sentiment throughout the State. ' We must unite and organize for the struggle. The people are aroused from their lethar gy by deeds of outrage upon the part of our enemies that noble love of liberty and right which can never wholly die in the American heart, is now fanne 1 to a flame, a bright and glowing flame men, kindred in sentiment, but heretofore sepa - rated by party ties, stand lii.ked together through the Northern States in a bond of union which if cherished and maintained, will cnish the b rit tie p ill a rs w h ich h a re long cpheld the slaveholding oligarchy in the heart of our otherwise glorious republic, and erect there in the glorious light of a hastening future the unstained alter which existed in the noble conoepti ns cf the men of 76 censecrated to Liberty and surrounded and protected by a party which tyranny can neither bribe or con trol. In the accomplishn ent of this grf at work Ohio must act a noble part. By ber action rext fall on influence will be exerted which will be powerfully felt in the next Presidential election ; and that election will give character to years of future 'glory cr shame in the history of this nation. Let us then be up and do ing. Nothing is more dangerous than the satisfied apathy which follows a great and unexpected success. The blow dealt by the aroused freemen of the State upon its bloated and corn pt administration stunned with its unlooked for power the If aders of the sham D mcracy, but they will not yield their position of plunder wrhout mighty struggle. The Sentinel t roice is timely. Let us organize end sound our bugles early for the campaign, and be reedy to enter the field in unbro ken columns ; this done end Ohio is re deemed. " Our friends of the Sentinel say: t After next. M nclay, the Administration party will have a ticket in the field lo be run in next October. The election tl en, will be an unusually important enp, and should rot be neglected too long by the Friends of Fret dom. A Convention of the Republican party is scarcely spt ken of, end time is passing awey that ought to be- improved. A few months since, when the subject was discussed, a general opinion prevailed, that it would be letter for the develor ments of the present ses sion of Congress lo erpear, bfore my nominations should be made. This was well enough ; but the indications now a re that we shall have nothing new deve leped this winter, end we miht as well call the Convection and r rr pare for the campaign. A meelirg about the first of March, would ; place our nominations beyond the adjourn ment of Congress, and yet net gn e rr ore than proper lirr e for the people to hold their primary meetings, elect Delegates, and discuss tl e merits cf candidates for Domination. Many of our papers are al ready naming particular men, though all Beem inclined to yield their preferences to -any good and true man. Senator Chase has been spoken of for Governor; and certainly no better choice could well be -made. The re-election of Mr. Wade will be an important question slso in the election of m mbers to the next Legisla ture, and seme conctrt on this subject might be profitably looked to at this time. Jndeed we have no time to lose, if we would preserve the advantage of last year's victory. It would be well for the State Central Committee appointed in July last, to see to it, and issue a call at an early day. JIchamtt in the Citt. We have re ceived a copy of the above new work and read it w i;h real pleasure. It is a series of discourses recently deliveied in New York by Rev. . H. Chopin, upon the following subjects: The Lessons of the Street; Man and Machinery; Strife for Precedence ; The Symbols of the Repub lic;. The Springs of Social Life; The Allies of the Tempter : The Children of the Poor; The Help of Religion. Mr. Chapin has a peculiarly happy style, of speaking and writing, and the light of a noble soul illuminates all he says . and does. No one can read the book before us without feeling the influ ence of that magnetic eloquence which has earned for its author a high niche o among the orators of America. A tone of pure morality and lofty thought per vades this book which makes one on bet ter terms with human nature by showing how noble may be its aims and aspira tion. Those who are not already ac quainted . with the writings of Mr. C. vil) find 10 this excellent volume an op portunity to become so.

" Caress has attempted to legiv- late on slavery in that Territory." It forbade its being legislated into all terri tory north of 36 deg. 30 inin. as agreed March 2, ltr20. 3d.

All that slaveholders and their servitors wish, is to get Congress drunk with the love of empire and a longing after the virgin soil of freedom, so as to induce it take away the protective walls of Lib erty, that Slavery may rush there with speed of an avalanche. You claim a difference between power and its abuses ! Why not claim that two and two are four ? You ask. " Is a change of power from Congress to the people, hostile to morality and religion." I answer that would depend on what you mean by power by change, and by peoj le. You the terms so vaguely that it is difficult tell in hat sense you employ them in given application. A general an swer may be given : Whatever powr cr rights belong to Congress it should use to secure th blessings of liberty to the peo ple of this nation, according to repuU'ean principles : and what power or rights be long to the people of this nation they should use in the preservation of Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness, as Jefferson the Democrat taught You claim the "late bill" does not belong to the theory of salvation ! I say it does belong the theory of damnation Moral action be good or bad, and when a Rev.

This is an important exhortation to all professing Christians, especially to North ern abolitionists: for, strange as it may seem, many of them profess to be Christ ians; some of them are accredited minis, ters of the gospel, in fellowship 'with Southern ministers and churches. To such, especially, I would cfTer the timely admonition, "Let none of you suffer as a busybody in other men's matters." To those clergymen who openly preach against slavery, and denounce slavehold ers as theives mid robbers, as there is no hope of their reformaii in, all I have to say is, Keep aloof from the South : it is written, "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares." But to the rest I would use the language of entreaty, and kindly ofiir my advice as a lover of peace as one who has had some experience in the religious world who has always adapted his own course to the existsng state of public sen- ment, and carefully watched the "signs of the times." Why should you ever, especially in the pulpit, be meddling with other men's matters ? The Bible tells us that "every 'fool will be meddling :" but surely a wise man a minister of the Gospel should not make himself liable to such a charge. As a general rule, I would recommend to Northern clergymen to preach and pray if they were wholly unaware of the ex istence of slavery in our country. The South do not ask them to praise Slavery; they merely ask them to let it alcne. Under ordinary circumstances there can no necessity for the slightest allusion it. I hey can manliest the deepei concern for the salvation of sinners; they sympathize with the down-trodden oppressed: they can point to "th dark places of the earth which are full cf habitations of cruelty," without print to Southern plantations. They ca look abroad into various parts of our fal world, and see oppression and degra. dation end wretchedness enough to awa all their Christian sympathies, an excite them to prayer and effort, withou meddling with other men's matters here home. I am willing, how ever, to admit there may be times when the state of public feeling at the North may be such to render it proper for a Northern cler gyman to say something about slavery. ven in the pulpit hen it may be prope him, mildly and respectfully, to ex. press his regret for the abuses of the sys I may go further and admit thai there may be times of great excitement when it may be expedient for him to use language of a downright abolitionist. condemn the system itself as inhuman ami-Christian. But, in such a case, should embrace the first favorable op portunity to hold up to view, as patterns piety, the great and good men who employed their eloquence in its de. fence, and spent their lives in laboring to perpetuate and extend it. If this be done, will be no trouble about it the people of the South will have no difficulty understanding his real position. know how important it is that you should retain the respect and confidence the people to whom you minister. of them are strongly inclined to some cf them oper.ly pro it ; and as far as you can, consistent with your loyally to the South, and love of the Union, you ought to ap to participate in their views and feel on this subject : and they often sup that you really do.

The only items of any interest which we no tice are the Prci-ident's veto-message on the River and and Harbor bill, vetoed last winter, and a display of gaseous nonsense from Ma.

A message was receivd from the Pres ident, giving reasons for vetoing the Kit er and Harbor bill. Owing to the late day at which the bill was received, it be came necessary to state nis objections, announcing at ihe same time his purpose to resume the subject for more delibe rate dissussion at the present Session of Congress. He concedes that the two Houses of Congress are entitled to an ex pression of the considerations which in duced him to dissent trom their conclu sions, ino such expression as "internal improvements " is found in the Consti tution, and it has not sufficient meaning to be of any value. He proceeds to ex amine the venous clauses in that instru ment. under which power for a system of internal improvements is claimed, and comes to the conclusion that there is no such specific power for such works, and provision bro-id enough to cover mem Congress can only construct such works as may be necessary to carry out the specific plan of improvement or navy ability of river and harbors be necessa ry for military or naval purposes. The matter is a subject for legislative discus sion. The message is a long one, and the President concludes, by urging the po'icy df confirming appropriations by general Government, to works necessary to be constructed, trom its uncounted powers, and of leaving all others to in dividual enterprise, or to separate oiat.es, to be provided for out of their resources, or bv a recurrence to the proviion of the Constitution, which authorize Con gress to give their, consent for improve ment of harbors.

The large quarto volume sent liberal ly through the country by member of L-ongress, containing the "statistics of the Lnited States Census, 1850," has on the 12th page various blank schedules for the use of the Marshals and their Deputies. The scheule numbered 2, is entitled "Naves," and in it there is a col umn headed 'yumberof Slave Owners.' In the instructions to Marshals and As sistants, speciel directions are given to return the namesof theowners of Slaves, and the number held by each individual owner. On looking though the statistics of the several States we have been unable to discover any such return as was order ed by this schedule and these instructions. Why is this ? Was no return made ? We fully believe, nay we may say we know that ample returns were maJe to the census beureau of the number of Slave cwners and the number of slaves held by each. The question arises, why is this important information suppressed? Are we to look for the answer in the un favorable character of the information embodied ? And was it for this and oth er purposes thai Mr. Kennedy was re moved as superintendent of the Census Bureau, and Mr. Du Bow appointed ? Who shall answer. At all events, the public of the Free States wants the infor mation suppressed. Will not some Mem ber of Congress call for it ? Slate Journal. A State Bank in Fact. The late sale oi Ohio Stocks at Colum- brou-ht sufficient money inlo the State Treasury to redeem every dollar! the outstanding circulation of the Ca- nai canK oi mis city, ana ten thousand dollars over. I he surplus, of course, will go to depositors. The Canal Bank therefjre, so far as money is concerned, a State institution, and for every dol lar now in circulation another dollar is actually in the Tresury. The Capital City Fact says that the Canal Bank money should be sent to the Treasury. Our advise is to keep this money in circulation, f.r when a dollar gets to the Treasury it is cancelled and just so much money is wuhdiawn from circulation. This case of Bank failure speaks too loudly to be misunderstood in favor of State Slock plan of Banking.

From the Cri mea there is no news, advices having been received up to Dec. 4, at which times the heavy rains had filled the trenches, and suspended active operations. the untish parliament had opened. The Queen's Saeenh w hnllv ncr.unied . - r j r; wun me war except one sentence in wtncn the Queen says ' I have concluded treaty with the U. S., by which dissen sions long and difficult, have been equita bly adjusted. The next of the Speech speaks of the army in the Crimea with admiration and gratitude, praising the co-operation of the French, and says she has concluded a treaty with Austria, and calls for instant reinforcements for the Crimea. A private letter says that the ratifica tion of the Austrian treaty was exchanged at Vienna on the 14th. If the negotiations now pending do not produce a peace, Russia will call out the sixteen men per thousand, equal to a million of men to take the field as early as possible. The debates in the English Parliament are both important- and interesting. By those debates we learn that the treaty with Austria is conditional, and that it is so framed that Austria may, at the last moment retire from the alliance without breach of faith. England is going to en list German and Swiss auxiliaries, and to transfer a portion of the militia to do gar-! nson duty in the Mediteranean stations, and perhaps in the Provinces of North America. As yet nothing has been said of a loan or an augmentation of taxes. The general feeling of the nation is patri otic to a degree, and voluntary contribu tions for relief of the army flow in with the most lavish libeiality. Among the latest shipments is a cargo of plum pud dings for Christmas. The correspondent of the New York Times says : "Lord John Russel, being in one of his moments of indiscretion, has at once let the cat out of the bag, and told the House that the treaty with Austria is a mere humbug. He told it in parliamentary language, of course, but such was the 'household' meaning of his words." The same correspondent mentions the murder in London of a French refugee named Bartheleney. There is a mysteri ous silence maintained by the press in relation to this murder, but enough has leaked out to warrant the belief that Bar theleney was a leader among proscribed Frenchmen who had laid a plan to kill Napoleon and proclaim republicanism in r ranee. The usual brilliancy of the assemblage on the delivery of the Queen's Speech was saddened by the appearance of many of the nobility in weeds of woe," show ing that the upper families have lost many relatives in the war. Mr. Buchanan attended the opening of Parliament in citizens dress. VERY LATEST. The news from Sevastopol is ''"P1 if true. The Russians are said lfemle retired to the second line of de t..'

We have received in the Globe i.fW. nesday last, the admirable speech of Mr. Campbell, of Ohio, in reply to Mr. Ste vens, of Georgia, It is a very able and perfectly unanswerable production, d.s- vuas.ug many suDjecis ot contest between the North and South, and discussing them all very thoroughly. Near the con clusion, Mr. Caaipbell spoke as follews : Mr. Chairman, "there is a North !" These election returns prove it. That North comes back to this Hall m the next Congress to claim a redress of the wrongs, and she will be backed by the fair minded people of the South, who never demanded the repeal of the Mis- compromise. sne will come, to a tTl?st' wit.h firmness, and with no dispo bus s.ltion to justify one wrong by perpetra- . ne win come, 1 nope, wun a determination to vindicate and re- store her rights, and yet to maintain the majesty ot the Jaw. To me, sir, it will a proud spectacle when the unbroken delegation of twenty-one members from native Ohio, approach that Speaker's desk to take the oath prescribed, and pledge before their sovereigns to restore which has been so wantonly taken away. I am no prophet, have no vision in mUts of futurity ; yet, sir, allow me predict that slavery never can become fixed institution in Kansas and Nebras ka I care not who may be sent as Del- egate, with power only to talk on this floor.

Ida May. The Portland Enquirer declares the authoress of this admirable book to be Chas. Torrey, the widow of Charles lorrey, the martyr. It says: " In ma the announcement, we violate no of secrecy, and we are unwilling our readers' curiosity should be un satisfied, especially that they should be unnecessarily delayed in sharing with us gratification of knowing that to the widow of the lamented Torrey are they indebted for this beautiful and powerful production. To us there is more than a fitness and justice in this fact it a most fitting and retributive provi dence." The heroic Torrey died in prison, the of slavery a noble martyr in the of human freedom.
