in ndristhe North to: forbearance' and
moderation: and to inculcate principles of
brotherly love and affection, ana au&cn
ment to the Constitution of the country
; " I believe. if the Coiiven-
tion meet at all, itwill be for this pur
pose." "-.v.v. V-1---'.
And now what says Mr. Stanly, a Rep
resentalive of "slaveholders in the Cop
grcss of the United States? , In his recent
Speech he said:
"1 do not believe the people of Nash
ville will permit it; and if that Convention
meets, and a proposition is made to con
sider even whether the Union ought not
to be dissolved, I hope the citizens of Nash
ville will drive every traitor of them into
the Cumberland River."
So much for Daniel Webster and Ed
ward Stanly."
.AT-
Election in Connecticut.
The returns, as far as received, indicate
that the democrats have elected their Go
vernor and a majority of the , State offi
cers. .There has been a falling off in the
popular vote, though the democrats ap
pear to have held their own.
The Slavery Question. .
The Albany N. V.) State Register, in
.an article on the above subject, reasons in
'the following candid and sensible manner:
It is indisputable that an agreement that
slaves fleeing into other States, 'shall be
surrendered to their masters, is in the
Constitution, and that this was one-of the
conditions upon which the Union was
formed. If we are not willing now to car
ry it out, there is clearly no alternative
but to break the agreement which our fa
thers made, and dissolve the Union. Arc
those who feel so determined on this sub
ject of restoring fugitive slaves, ready for
this alternative? Let them look this mat
ter fairly in the face. If the Union is
worth preserving, we must make up our
minds to comply with the conditions upon
wmcn it was lormed. It our repugnance llh hVonet, more vizilant than the sus
to the surrender of fugitive slaves is insii-J ion of desnoiism.
The Power of the Press. The follow
in g eloquent passage occurs in Gen. Cass's
speech upon the suspension of 'diplomatic
relations with Austria:
"Public opinion embodied by the press,
in the daily journals it pours forth, is
borne through the civilized world, pro
nouncing the judgment of the present day
and anticipating that of posterity. There
is none so high as to be beyond its cen
sure none so low as not to be encourag
ed bv its approbation. The frontiers of a
country may be armed at its approach, but
it will pass them. It may be checked hut

yet I Jim willing to lend my feeble aid in
bringing up: from the abyss of; torgettui
ness the deeds and transactions of our
Revolutionary sires, the events of a by:
eone generation that lived in "the times
that tried men's souls," and at a period (as
is now apparent) when the world began to
throw off the shackles of tyranny, and to
emerge from the darkness of oppression,
ignorance, and superstition; into the light
of liberty, knowledge?, and true religion.
