TR.BCrE FROM AN ENEMY,

ABOLITION or SLAyERY.--We publish to-day, &C.
Of the proceedings of the Senate OF the United
States the motion Of MIR. Buchanan, 10 reject the
memorial Of the Calm Quarterly Meeting of the Rell-
gous Society Of Friends for the abolition Of slavery,
and especially the slave trade Surely Pennsy vanan
might have committed the task Of making such mo.
ton to some other Senator
Our readers will perceive that there were but six
votes against this iuotlon VIZ: HcbSter and DAVIS OF
Massachusetts, Swift and Prrntlss of Vermont, Knight
of Rhode Island, and Hendricks of Indiana.
The Southern Senators, whether Van Buren, or Anti
Van Barren, in solid column for the rejection. This
10 be expected. But when lo"k for the
Of the Northern Van Buren, men. we see at once the
finger Of the Magician. Every Senator under The con-
troll Of Mr.. Van Barren, 1eom erccpoa voted for the
rejection Look, for instance at TalnIldgr aud Wright,
from New York, the confidential agents of the Magician.
Lock at Hill and Shprlcy, aud Niles and Hubbard from
New England, Wsil from New Jersey, Buchanan from
Pennsy Ivana. Losk wherever the Magician has nlu-
encc and there, there is vote against The memorial.
We wish readers to bear this in mind, and then 10
recolfct that in the lower House the just the
same. The Van Buren, men from New ! ork in that
HoIse went IN solid column for resolutions declaring any
incddHg with slavery in The District would be bicacl,
