Mr.. Webster recently delivered a
speech at Wheeling, which is lauded to
the skies by his federal admirers. In that
speech the two following sentences ap-
pear, which blow "hot and cold'' to suit
the peculiar condition of the whig party.
The spirit of that party comprises the
essence of contradiction. and the Troy
Wing can quote with equal eclat, Mr..
Webster's "hard currency" and "paper
credit' sentiments.
"The just, main causes of the present
distress are tampering with the curren

AN INTERESTING FACT" relative to the

into the Vermont Chronicle Of the same

other interesting facts" in the case az
given in the Telegraph If so, wbv mot

FOURTH OF July AND SLAvERY.-Very
Dear Brother Murray recent letter
from the Treasurer of the American Anti
Slavery Society is the following sentence:
We are greatly pressed for money no,o ::
can you not send US $500 from your society
in few days2 You can never come up to
the help Of the dying slave in more &C
ceptable time than now." 1t must be ner-
cepuble to every observing mind that our
blessed cause at this time needs an extra
effort, and as the Executive Committee Of
our State Society have recommended stimuli
taneous meetings on the 9TH July, shall we
not make an effort to raise the $500, for the
American Society," What day so proper
for that objec:-or rather what object so
proper for that day? 1t is CUSTOMARY on
that day to sing, "Hail Columbia happx
land" &c. But we have near millions of
our brothers and sisters who, (tho' sons of
Columbia, } cannot join us-not even THAT
portion of them in the Uistrict Of Coluns-
biG! Oh how is liberty abused, and repub-
icanism reproached, BY slavery in the Unit
ed States!
How much have we done that we ought
not to have done, and how much hare we
not done that we ought to have done, in this |
cause! Now let US de works meet for re- |
