Mn VAN buren, AND SLAVERY. In his
published letter to the North Carolina slave
holders Mr. Van Buren, gives the South 10
understand that he is utterly opposed to
the abolition of slavery even in the District
of Columbia, against the yiSheS Of the
SIarcholding StateS," though he expressly
admits the constitutional authority of Con-
gress in the premises. Richie of the Rich
mond Enquirer praises his letter as salts
factory to the South, while his supporters
at the North who are abolitionists insist
upon it that he is just as much an abolition
list as need be. In other words he adapts
himself to all attitudes and longitudes.
Like the clown in the play who, when
inquired Of "What part do you take to-
night ?'-Van repIies--"All parts, my
Lord"
The following, from the U. s. Telegraph
will show how much sincerity there is in
Mr. Van Buren's sof-soap letter to the
Southern nabobs =
From the U. S. Telegraph.
The following resolutions were once in
troduced in the New York Legislature ia
1890. Mr. Van Buren,, who was then in
in the Senate of that state voted in ia
yor of them.
son the Goth day of January, 1920, the
following preamble and resolutions were
taken mp IN the Senate (having passed tho
House, of the New York Legislature, and
unanimously passed, Mr. Fan Buren, Of
course, uoting t0dh the .9BOLIIYON
lists Let the honest men of the south
read them:
Whereas, the inhibting the further ex-
tension of slavery in the United States, is
subject of deep concern to the people OF
this State and whereas we consider slave
~ as an evil much to he deplored, and that
every constitutional barrier should be inter-
posed TO prevent its further extension; and
that the constitution Of the United States
clearly gives Congress the right to require
new States not comprised within the orig-
nal boundary ofthe United States, to make
the prohibition of slavery condition Of
their admission into the Union: There
fore,
Resolved If the honorable Senate con-
cur therein,) That our Senators he instruct
ed and our members of Cong ess be re-
que>ted, to oppose the admission as a state
into tho Union, of any territory not com
prised as aforesaid, without making tho
prohibition of slavery therein an indispen-
sable condition Of admission"

VERMONT CHRONICLE. We give place
to communication from the Edi ors of
this paper, in reply to the article of "a
Layman of Addison County," published
last week. 1t will take good many such
sophistical explanations to salty the rel-
gious public as to the Chronicles course, if
we may judge by the almost unanimous
feeling in this region, We hope the editors
will either postpone the war they have
commenced, or else give their opponents n
fair field. In the last N. Y. Evangelist is
another rejected communication, from the
pen of Rev. ID. o. Morton, who, we take it,
is not Layman." One word as to MIR
Burchard. His friends in this quarter are
unmoved by the ex-parte assaults of the
Chronicle. Without an exception, in this
town, their opinions are unchanged. "a
living dog is better than dead lion"

The Editor of the Patriot, who served as
a sort of corporal under Captain Hubbard
i'll getting up the pro-slavery mob last fall,
seems not to have lost any of his patriotic
ardor for the preservation of the Union.
This conservator of constitutional rights is
on the lookout, with Argus eyes, sounding
the alarm on the approach of danger See
how like an oracle he rebukes more than
one hundred disorganizers and fanatics in
a body:
abolition .Meeting.---The State Journal
contains call for u meeting to assemble at
the Court House in this village on the 18th
inst for the purpose of forming n County
Anti-Savery, or Abolition Society. To
the call, something like hundred names
are attached; and among them we recog-
nize some, which, we had supposed, enti-
tied TO better company. We regret to see
honest, well-disposed men land claiming to
be republicans tool caught in this fatal snare
of disunion, dsorganization, humbuggery
and fanaticism. Let them but comprehend
the whole length and breadth of the matter,
and they will shun the fatal whirlpool. We
entreat of our democratic (D friends, one
and all, "to touch not, handle not, the I'M
clean thing" They may see their error
when it is too late--when the Union is dis
solved--when destruction and desolation
have ravaged the fairest portions of our
country! Beware Of the false step!
For subiimity the above may be likened
to Obadiah's account of his perilous escape
from mad bull: "The bull roared like
thunder. ran like lightning -and in jun
ping the brush fence-to escape his clutches
tore my breeches as if heaven and
airth were coming together"
