Noble. "What am to tell my constituents about

is etsrn0Uy running after and ch"tfe'iag to the

GOV. HILL Us. ABOLITIONlSM.

We have rarely seen piece of Dough-
.face-iSm, so successfully refined from all
commiXture with better matter, than the
following extract from the late message of
Gov. Hill of New Hampshire. Prejudice,
so bitter as he shows against the advocates
of liberty-ignorance,. so thorough as he
betrays, not only, of the slavery of the
South, but of the principles and measures
of those who would bring it to peaceable
and honorable ermination-in fine, of eve
ry department of the subject which he has
selected as the medium of recommending
himself to the Shareholders of the South
and their abettors in the North, might find
some palllation in the case of those whom
he describes as 'philanthropic statesmen,
who are the owners of slaves:"- but, in
one, who, for the last two or three years,
has lived in the very midst of the most en-
lightened discussion-whO for that time
has been surrounded on all sides by the
splendors of the most intelligent debate, on
the very subject about which he writes
such perverseness, such midnight ignorance,
is totally inexcusable. No longer can il be
matter of surprise, that a Judge of the
lowest dignity should so far err, as TO con-
slider public exposure of the evils and
dangers of slavery by one of his fellow
citizens MIR Storrs worthy of subjecting
him to the punishment of hard labor in
the House of Correclion--w when the high
est'ofiicer in the State can so far forget his
own dignity, and SO shamefully outrage
that of a sensible legislative body as to
transmit TO it such evidences of his own SER
Witty, and demand in return the promise of
correspondent action, whenever he may call
for it.
The triumph of Liberty will be a glori-
Gus one in New England free as she
has been supposed TO be, the roots of des-
potsm have run deep in the hearts Of
many OF her political men.--Pkiidnthro-

THE FOURTH OF JULY.

This glorious day. as it was once very
properly called, was celebrated this year
with great spirit in many places, chiefly by
Democratic citizens. The celebrations in
Boston and Weymouth appear to have been
the most conspicuous and attracting. We
view this matter in different way. Our
Democracy is too deep and thorough to
rejoice, while the right of free discussion
is denied-while the freedom of speech is
punished with death without trial, in one
half of this Union, and the most perfect
despotism over that half reigns universally,
and in the other halfa mean subserviency
to the same spirit that prevails to lament
able eXtent--while the Governors of one
half ofthe union are calling on those of the
other half to pass laws to annihilate the
liberty of speech and of the press and the
latter virtually regretting our laws and
constitutions are such, as to forbid COM
piance with their request! while in the very
heart of our republic, at the seat of our
Government, in the Capital itself, a nu'lifi-
cation of the right of free discussion, ofthe
liberty of the press, and the right of petit
ton, is openly demanded by the South,
and as readily surrendered by many of the
North. In such state Of things we have
no heart to celebrate independence.--Lynn

The Massachusetts Spy of Wednesday,
contains the following editorial remarks
relating to Mr. Calhoun's bill for prohibiting
the transmission by mail of incendiary
publications, and to MIR Van Buren's vote
in committee of the whole on that memoir
able occasion:
A more odious and obnoxious bill was
never submitted to the consideration OF
Congress. The provisions of the bill made
it illegal for any postmaster to mail or de-
liver 'any pamphlet, newspaper, handful or
any other paper, printed or written, or
pictural representation touching the sub
ject of slavery The bill in effect, made
every post office an inquisition, and every
Postmaster or his clerk, a judge, to whose
inspection every paper or private letter must
have been submitted, and OH whose judy
ment or caprice its transmission must have
depended, thus exposing every private let
ter, and substantially, though indirectly
violating the liberty of the press which
was the ground on which the bill was as
sailed by Messrs Webster, Davis, Clay, and
Ewing. The bill would have prohibited
the transmission by mail, of the Declara-
ton of Independence, most of the State
Constitutions, and by Mr. Webster's con
struction, even the laws of the United
States touching slavery in some of their
enactments, SO indefinite was its language.
Scarcely page of the valuable writings OF
the patriots of the revolution could be pub
lshed i'm any journal without subecting i,
to funeral pile; yet Martin Van Buren,
claiming to be the friend of the people, and
the champion of Democracy, relying on
the trucking spirit of his adherents at the
| North, voted for this abonlina6ie bill, for the
ignobe and selfish purpose of purchasing
the vote of the stakeholder, to enable him
to reach the Presidential chair.
This vote merits, as it will receive, the
warmest indignation of the people of the
free States, and mus, satisfy all, who are
not blinded by partizan zeal, as to the true
character of Van Buren, ofthe danger OF
promoting man of his insatiate and I'M
principled ambition to the highest office
known to the Constitution. An indirect
Infringement upon the freedom fthe press
| furnishes a precedent for direct one
and an Infringement upon one subject is g
precedent for another And let it he re-
membered, that Van Buren, by his vote has
pledged himself to the interests oftIle South
and let the citizens of the free states, be-
ware, lest in eecting Van Buren, to the
Presidency, they have to submit to
such laws as shall he deemed expedient to
the stakeholder, thus placing themselves
on level with the slaves ofthe SOUTH"

will be said that you was young, and were
seduced from the paths of honesty and
right. Go to the West, lead virtuous life,
exercise every means which good sense
may suggest to recover from the load of
odium which hangs around you. Depend
upon Almighty God. Without this, you
may exert yourself as you will, but you
will never be safe. For myself, my every
days experience shows me the happiness
and the advantage of depending ON the
Almighty, and l would not give up the
sense of dependence upon my Creator for
worlds. feel that he will protect and
guide me, and would not afilict me except
for his wise purposes. With this feeling
nothing can very well disturb me, for
humbly believe that will be kept safe.
So will it be with you. Depend upon God
as your guide and you will find Him your
shield and the great rock ofyour foundation
and defence.
The Recorder concluded, when Gray
asked the Court for suspension of the
sentence. He said it had just been told
him that the person who he said gave him
the clothes to sell, will be revealed und will
be forthcoming.
The Recorder said it was impossible to
allow justice to be defeated or allayed on
such excuse. The court will be diligent
in ascertaning if his story is correct and
he shall have the benefit of it, if it proves
to be so. The verdict in this case has
been perfectly right. lie has been arraign-
cd on three indictments, the stolen articles
were found upon him, and the testimony
is conclusive. He may rely upon it when
in prison, that the Court will do its utmost
to find the one he has spoken of, and if
discovered that his statement is true, the
Court will be as faithful in obtaining mercy
as in passing the painful sentence. The
Court then adjudged the prisoner TO five
years Imprisonment at Sing Sing, to be kept
at such labor as the superintendent might
deem proper for him.

soldier in the United States Army and
was discharged from the Sd Regiment
OF Infantry in November, l s29. In
the Spring Of 1880 he wrought at his
trade with Mr.. Morton in the CITY OF
ST. Lonis. 10 1889, he was among
the artihcers employed by government
in improving the navigation Of the o.
hio and The Mississippi rivers, where
ne continued until December Of that
year. In January 1855, u letter was
received from him, written at the mouth
of the Ohio, but post marked ut Louis
vile, kentncky,in which ne stated that
ne was anxious TO return to Albany
as soon as he could. As he did moi
return, and as nothing has been heard
OF HIM since that time, his relatives are
anxious to ascertain where he resides,
especially as there is some property
here in which he has an interest. and

nine counties, leaving seventeen coun-

seventeen, CLARK and WIcKLIFFE's
