He then atverled tO Ohio, and this city (CDcinnat) iO particular. He said there nothing in all hslo- " tn compare with our progress. No accounts of progress had been exaggerated. He had witnessed aIes which more eqnalied his highest expectations" Mr. Webster left Cincinnati the next day On his way home-the cholera was spreading and making such devasa'ions through the country that he could not prolong his Ssi, that time with any degree of satisfaction. Our Fairfield friends claim the palm.

 ISlarery and Siaves.-The s0bject of slavery is ., the present time exciting a good deal of interest in various parts of our oountry-parisans arc enlisted, and considerable feeling produced-bat no where WIG believe arc the Northern people charged with making an unwarraDable of the excitement except hy the Nullifers of the South. John Bolton, Esq gentle man of emnence in New-York, and who professes to feel deep interest in the matter from his connection with Georgia, recently addressed letter the Hon.

 My Dear Sir: have received your letter of la st evening, requesting state my opinion ofthe pow CTS Gf Congress i,e suhiect Of slaves and slavery and of ihe existence Of any wish dsagn the part sf NOrthen men, interfere with the security or reg ula,ion of tha, species Of property.
 My sentiments this subject, my dear sir. have been olte" publicly expresed bull can have no ot'- jecton 10 repeat the declasa of them, if it be thought by you that such declaration might, in the smaIIes, degree aid the (reMs of the UHiOn a"d ihe Constitution in the South, in dispelhng prejudicea which are 60 ndUsiriousy fosiered, and H quieting agiiaiioGs so unnecessarily kept alive.
 Tn my opinion, the domestic slavery 0fthe Southern States q snhjeet within the exclusive control of the States themselves; and this sure. s the opiUi0n Oi the whole North. Congress has authority iO in iertere in the emanc palion oC the Slaves, or in the treatment of ihem tn any of the Saies. This was SD resolved by ihe Honse Of Representatives when Con- greAs sat this city in I79O, lhe report o Com n,iitee, consisting almost entirely of northern mem bers andi do know instance Oslhe expression Of a difereat opn iR either House 0f COngre sinee. carrot say that parlcnaf iRdivduals might not sby he found who suppose that Congress may possess some power over tie subject, but do know any such persons and there he any. am sure there few. The sersiiHde of great portion of the poru lati0n of ie SUuih is, sSdoubtedly, regarded the North a great esil, mpral and political: and the discussions upon t. which have recently taken place in tue Leg siafures of several of the siave.oding States have been read with very deep interest But il Is regarded nevertheless esi, the remedy of which lies with those legislatures themselves. |" he
