A HINT.

1t was suggested to us, some weeks ago, and
reiterated a few days since, SO very significant
ly, that we were in the power of a certain gen
tleman in Edwardsville, that we cannot help
believing the sugge stion was made with his
appreciation, and that it was intended to in
timidate us from pursuing such course on the
subject of slavery, as our Judgment and con-
science might dictate. The subject is deli
cate one. The gentleman alluded to will per-
fectly understand this hint. We bid him
defiance, and assure him, that, if he should be
mean enough to descend to the pitiful mea-
sure, which we understand to be minated
we will expose and punish him to the hearts
content of the btterest enemy he l,as in the
world. He, therefore, will please to take no.
tice, that We ask no quarters from him. We
have no secrets that we wish him to keep for
u.s. and we do not fear his malcvolence. We
never have been deferred from doing what we
thought our duty. Our course upon the sub
iect of slavery has been consistent and uniform,
and we shall fearlessy persevere in it. This
however, we intended to do, without giving
just ground of personal offence to any one
How far We shall have TO depart from our
wish, in this respect, will depend upon the
conduct of others. Ifpermited to do SO, we
would still prefer to avoid as much as possible,
every thing calculated to produce personal
irritation. But we are ready to meet what
ever may come,

1t has often been asserted, that the Ladies
are almost unanimously in favor of slavery.
This may be true, in great degree, as far as
But in the country, we presume, the case is
somewhat different. The following commu-
nication is from the wife of plain, but re-
spectacle farmer of Madison county, which
we publish with the more pleasure, as it
evnces the anxiety and solicitude which
is felt an this momentOus question, notwith-
standing the efforts made, by certain politi-
clans, to persuade the people to believe, that
=" slavery is wholly unconnected with the sub
iect of convention"
