customed breeze. Ia this dilemma he started W
town in speculative mood, determined to inspiril
himself in some way or other. Having reached
the corner of Callowhll aid English streets, he
east his eye towards the Delaware, and perceivine
one OF those snlicing signs of three golden bale,
he turned the corner and, entering the fatal door,
addressed the man behind the counter thus my

duced, aud after remarks from several indiyid-
uas unanimously passed.
On motion of Joel Balty
l. Resolved, That instead Of the institution
Of slavery being las Gov. McDuilie of South
Carolina reprrscntcd,) the corner stone on
which u republican government can be safely
established, il is like a quit ksand, continually
sinking it into the vortex Of destruction.
2. Resolved, That the opposition, that has
been manifested in the present session Of Con-
gress, by many of the members Of our Ma
tional Legislature, TO the receiving and acting
on memorials for the abolition of slavery and
the slave trade in the District of Columbia and

cause Of temperance, and who was until recently
resident Of this place.
From the Wcllsville (Ohio) Commercial ADV,
Toll. B. PAGE, Esq. on delivering an address tc
the Wesyille I Temperance Society,".
Speak on for we feel when you're speaking
That the champion ofvirtue Is near;
Speak on for the cause you are pleading
Has need of an advocate here.
Speak on and the sleeper awaken
Who dreams in the bottle there's bliss,
Oh, tell him no dream is so fatal,
So deep fraught with anguish, as this.
You've shown us the drunkaid's sad dwelling
Twas a dreary and deso,ate place.
And the tear Of his wife deeply telling
Her sorrow, her grief and disgrace
And then you took up the decanter
And show'd us the poison within,
How man. in his madness, would banter
His life for bottle Of gin.
Speak on for thy voice Of persuasion,
Like music falls sweet on the ear:
Let him who would seek dissipation
Stop and think on his fatal career.
Speak on for the curse Of the nation
Is passing like darkness away;
May the dawn of this moral salvation
BE bright as the opening OF day.
Then the tear Of the wife, broken hearted,
Shall be wiped with the tenderest care,
And the hopes that were banishd and blighed
Shall bloom again, lovely and fair.
The Genius of Temperance awaking
From the trance, in which sho has lain,
Shall smile on the efforts you're making,
Nor sink 10 her s.umbers again.
Speak on for the cause is progressing
The banner Of truth Is unlurlNd-
And much you have done in REFRESHING
A sin that Has deluged the world. l., G. II. o.

those adopted by the late Anti. slavery Conven-
ton of the State Of Pennsy vania
Resolved, That in Christian meekness we
intend 10 maintain the right Of exhoriing those
who uphold an institution so evidently unjust
as that of slavery, TO examine its operations
upon all classes # the community both indi.
yidually and collectively, confident that if they
do so with unprciudIced minds and sincere
motives, thoy will be convinced Of its deep
sinfulness, and thus be prepared 10 commence,
Immediately, the great work of freeing them
eelves and their country from its para yzing in
hnences."
Resolved, That tho Convention recon.
mend TO the colored people of this State to
maintain peaceful and moral department in
all the departments in life in which they may
be placed; that thus they may be instrument
tai IN delivering their oppressed brethren from
bondage, and reiute tie cavnnies of those

"Resolved That We earnestly recommend
the colored people, both bond s free, 10 en-

they deserve to be free"

This is the cant word Of the AbolitionlstS, TO cover
their attacks upon lie rights Of the South. One cannot
but smile at the slang which they use; and The efforts
which they are making 10 enlist recruits In Its defence.
The following is a curious case of mistake or mlsa Pprehen-
sion. The Washington Scribblcr Of the PhiIadel pina
inquirer, dcnounccs the resolution Of Mr.. Hawcs, tor
nai!iny upon the table, all The petitions and memorials
that may be presented to The House Of Representatives
during the session. The slang-whanger thinks 1t an out
ragrcus attack upon the subject OF lciItion-and then
proceeds in the following strain:
'sWhils | locked on, and saw Northern men trucking
TO party, and voting ir a resolution which slabs at lle
right Of petition, ! WIS proud to see patriots Of the
South opposing; such an domination. Among those
who did this, there arc registered such men as General
WaLGy Thompson and Francis Pickens Of S. Carolina,
and shat profount and enlightened constitutional lawyer
and statcSmaa,. the Hon. John Robertson OF Virginia.
There we're several other gentlemen from The South WHO
voted afainsEtte resolution, and | an proud to hail
them as The CHAMPIONSHIP The country. They are opPos-
ed to the abolition of slavery in the District Ut Cn!url-
bia-they arc opposed to all agitation on the subject
bnl they scorn 10 bow 10 the dictates of party, and deny
frecmcn the right Of petition. am as warmly opposed
to the tanaticism of abolition as any man can be, but 1
cannot consent to an infractiun of the Constitution.
Now-we very ii.uch question whether there is one
word of truth in all ,his-and whether hlcssrs. lilonlP-
son, pickcns and Robertson. will thank this scribbler for
the co,nplinen, lie pays them. These gentlemen are the
las, to belong to the class of the non.agtutors-and would
be. we suspect, among the very first to refuse t. receive
all such petitions. AS we understand them, they would
not only reject The prayer IF tic Petlt0nS, bul The Pat-
tons themselves. Is not this the creed winch they pro-
fess and are they not ~rhoie-hog men I've advise the
Washington scribbler 10 consult them, and then CORRECT
his errors.
