III proposed law, now pending before the legis
lature of this state to restrict the right of manu-
mission of slaves, is unjust, and some Of it.
provisions unconstitutional, and is such an in.
reference with rights of conscience as to call fol
the reprobntion Of all christian people.
"Resolved, that the proposition from several
counties in this state the free negroes Ia
leave the state is in our opinion, cruel, impoltic
unjust, dangerous and unauthorized by the con-
st,tution; and ought therefore TO be opposed by
by all good men, and especially by those who
are opposed to the enhancement OF the price of
slave lobour.
"Resoved, that this meeting will heartily
Cooperate with the friends of liberty of cor.
science in this and other counties of the state,
in refusing to vote for any candidate for the
state legislature, without regard to party con-
siderations, who will advocate the above cruel
and oppressive measures. Believing that the
freedom of conscience is paramount to all polit
ical considerations
Resolved, that, a law, compelling the free
negroes to work daily or to hire out by the
year to white men, or to have some visible
means of support, and to bind out their children
to farmers tradesmen for term of years
would remove many of the objects now urged
against manumisson, and would greatly hene-
ft the agricultural interest OF the state.
"Resolved, that gradual emanc patton of
negroes, and their removal to Liberia, would.
IN our opinion, greatly promote the interest of
the people Ofthis state, and would be an act of
justice and humanity, to that unfortunate and op-
pressed people,"

u The Globe confesses the fact, thdt it cxclud.
ed A,e Speeches of Clay, Webster, and others,
against Van Burons nomination, from its country
paper; alleging as excuse, that it had the right to
determine what matter would be most agreeable to
its readers Miserable this excuse is, it does not
touch the case. The Globe, challenged by the
Telegraph, through mere shame, having published
the Speeches for Van Buren,, at last published some
OF those against him, on the outer form of its
daily, where none would sec them but the people
in the District. The meanness consists less in the
Ppression-though circumstanced as the Globe
was, that was mean enough-than in the deceit, of
affecting and claiming to do, what was done in
such way as to be equivalent to nothing. The
Globe did not tell but acted an untruth. We OK.
