"-Nital in every part
Can. only by annihilating de

Il must be eradica,ed, not merely from pre-
valling institutions and laws, if We may use
the expression, but from the protentaities of
government, before it can be said to have been
killed. So long as moral sentiment of society
admits the right of partial legislation, there
will be found class ready and solicitious to
use it. There is an unwiliugness on the part
Of many, to recognize the full and equal rights
of others, which will exhibit itself when 1t is
allowed the opportunity. Nothing but the
strict establishment Of social laws and arrange
ments upon the basis of perfect justice, can
arrest lis workings, or obviate lis effects.
We fed In this fact. the secret Of party di-
visions and party progress. Men of the more
liberal way OF thinking. viii strive perpetually
to bring the relations OF society into closer &C.
cordance with the abstract demands of Justice.
The attempt begets a conflict with those whose
feelings or interests lead them to desire the
conservation of the existing order of things.
A fierce struggle eusues, until the preponder-
ance of argument remains with the advocates
Of larger freedom. Their opponents are
forced to confess. either tacItly or openly. the
new established truth, and al apparent IN
animiiy Of all sides. then takes place. But il
is only apparent.-1he same motives which
prompted The champions Of the liberal faith TO
take the first step 10 advance. will prompt them
to take the second, while their enemies will be
left TO occupy the ground they have lnsl vaca-
ted. Thus, the positive position OF parties is
constantly altering, bot the relative position
remains the same. The tory Of one age, be-
comes the wing Of the next; the whig moves
onward to still higher truth; and this series of
advances constitutes the progress of the human
race. At bottom, the characteristics of each
party are ever the same, although each is in
cessantly shifting lis ground. "In all stages
Of society,"" says an English writer, "lhere
have been two sets of men: those who were
before the age, and those who were behind it !;
those who were the wisest among their coten-
porares, and those who gIoried in being no
wiser than their srand-lathers. "-Eyening

The two States which have had the most
influence ia our councils, civil and military,
are Virginia and Massachusetts. The great
drama of the Revolution opened at Lexington
in one, and closed in Yorktown in the other.
The President of the first Congress was from
the one; the first President of the Union was
from the other. The first sgner of the Dec
laration Of Independence was from the one;
the first sgner Of the Constitution of the Uni
ted States from The other. The great leaders
of the Federal and Democratic parties Adams
and Jefferson, resided in Massachusetts and
Virginia; each was Vice President and each
was President; each was signer Of the Dec
laration Of Independence; each nego,iator OF
his coun,ry's treaties in Europe, and having
both served with noblest integrity, their day
and generation, they were together sommoned
hence, and on the fifteenth anniversary OF tina,
immortal day which saw them together, ''pled-
ging their lives, their fortunes. and their sa-
cred honors," in the cause of Independence,
they departed from earth, borne upwards by
the anthems of a nations jubilee.

A SLAVE QUESTION BETWEEN Nav YoRk
AND observation-disclosures Mcdonald, in his
message TO the Legislature of Georgia states,
that. in the month of April last, a slave was
stolen by person who escaped to the State
OF New York, and that the proper papers were
prepared and authenticated, and demand
made upon Gov. Seward for the arrest and
delivery Of the fugitive. Gov. Seward has
declined to comply with this demand until he
has received proof of the facts and circum-
stances. This proof, although entirely con-
venien,," says the governor Of Georgia. II
decline procuring. as was fully satisfied
that had complied with the letter and spirit
of the Constitution and act Of Congress.
His Excelency recommends to the Leglsla-
ture TO pass law subjecting 10 inspection of
any package of goods that shall be shipped,
either directly or indirectly, from the State of
New York, or any orher state manifesting a
similar disposition. He also recommends
that all suspected persons coming from such
States be required to find security for their
good behavior, and particularly thai they will
not interfere or have intercourse with the slave
population.

Human avarce and ambition, are like tabled

Human avarice and ambition, are like tabled
waters or Arethusa: suppress them in one
place, they spring up with renewed force In
another. The spirit Of monopoly, manifested
in banks and tariffs may have been put down,
but it still lives in the hearts of men. When
the occasion recurs, it will show itself with as
much virulence and power, as at any previous
time. A temporary defeat does not conquer
this disposition to injustice aud exclusiveness !;
for it, like the immortal essence of Mlton's
angels.
