TIE SLAYE QUESTION

1t is impossible for us to mistake the Sims If
the Times Efforts are making to rally Southern
Party around the Slave Question. We pass over,
for the present, the imprisoned denuncations of
such iacilous agators, Duff Green, and men like
him. We take up man of talent aud of character
such a one as MIR. Pinckney, late Editor of the
Charleston Mercury, and the Orator Of the Multi

ANTl-MASONIC.

The case of Avery, like that of Morgan seems
destined to give rise TO feuds and factions The case
IS under discussion in the newspapers of r. Island
and the excitement has already produced Avery
men and Ant-Avery men.
Nor has the Anti-Masonc- fever abatcd. A late
letter of Mr.. Edward Everett of Boston, has called
forth praises from the side, and censures from
the other. The Rhode Island Mcrocosm conaratu-
ates Its friends on the conversion of so "disngush
ed an individual" so celebrated a scholar SO wide
ly known as one of the ablest writers of the conn
try" The Boston Centinel on the contrary, depre-
Gates the letter he has addressed to the Antimo
sonic County Committee for Middlesex, in which
letter, he publicly declares himself to be in oppos
ton to the existence of Masonic Societies in other
words, he clearly intimates n determination to Sc
cede from the National Republican PARTY to which
he has hitherto protested himself to be devoted and
TO range himself on the side of the political ANTI ma
sons" The Centinel asserts, that " i'm coming ONT
at the bidding of the Anti-Masonic faction and de-
claring himself with them he i'm the same breath de-
clares, in substance, that he has little regard for the
National Republican Party. Volumes of sophistry
Will not eXtrcate him from this postion-and it re-
presents, that "the more intelligent and rejecting
people of his own District, and of the Stale at large
VIII feel as much modification at his course as do
the inhabitants of this city"
Mr. Everett had certainly warning beocon he
fore his eyes in the person of Mr.. John @. Adams.
That eccentric politician, poet and philosopher has
just addressed his 9th and last letter to Mr. Living
ston, "Grand High Priest of the General Grand
Royal Arch Chapter of the U. S." Sc &c. And
