| Our Republican colleague at Lynchburg, was not
aware If some Of the facts which have CLEANED from
The uAboltion Standard" of the first inst, published at
Concord. New Hampshire. 1t confirms the general
statement of the Republican, and puts the boot upon The
other leg. If there be Aboltonists in the Granite
State they are Of Mr.. Hume's Clique-HhSs.
The STANDARD animadvers with great severity upon
the course of the Republican majority of the legsa-
ture of New Hampshire. Strong resolutions had been
brought into the H. of R. The Committee reported
most decidedly in behalf Of the compromise OF The
Constitutions and the rights of the South In the con-
troverses between Georgia and Name, as wen Us
pinia and New York, the Committee took strong GROUND
in our fayor-and the House confirmed by decided
vote But the Aboltionsts in the House were not pas
sye spectators Of the scene On the contrary, they
took an active part against US, both by their speeches.
and their votes. The Abolition Standard gives US
two snceches on the queston-and where have we
seen more nous nacism, than these speeches OF
Dr. Batcheller and the Rev. Mr.. Moore express Take

have had our attention called to the subject of rail-
roads, the adjustment of imprisonment for debt, &c.
These caused much interest, and no little excitement
But the subject now under consideration, is one OF
immeasursbly greater magnitude than any we have
been called TO act on in this House 1t far outweghs
them ALL as do life, liberty and happiness dollars and
cents The safety and protection OF the tree citizens
of this State may depend upon the manner IN which
we decide this question. The controversy between
Georgia and Maine involves the same principle as
that Of Virginia and New York. will here remark
that the noble stand taken by Gov. Fairfield OF Name,
and Gov Seward of New York, in refusing TO comply
with the mandates of the Executive of Virginia and
Georgia. entities them to the most exalted praise and
gratitude Of the Abotonists and OF every citizen OF
the free States The monster, slavery, leapIng over
Mason and Dxon's line, that he might pounce on his
innocent prey was by these stern defenders OF the
riphts of man, and lashed back TO his own haunts,

doomed African For this noble act they deserve to be
ranked with Aristdes.'
The Rev. Mr.. Moore, in the course of the same de-
bate declared that he as COO! as an iceberg and
as an evidence of this assertion he denies lin the very
face of the Federal Constltution) that one man can
have ownership another man, he have in cattle
