Welcome, little, mighty birth,

Gladly wait till boy shall come,
Counting II genial sign

Well might be content to see
Queens alone come after thee;
Twenty visions NY mother

Never enough behold thee.

From The .NiSSiSsipplH.J
mn.


Governor Glmer Of Virginia, has issued his TO-
clamation offering reward of 5000 dollars tor three
coored men, who !eonlousy carried Oft certain slaves
from Norfolk in July lS39-Gov. Seward oil New
York having refused to deliver up the criminals, ana
thereby comply with an imperative constitutional
duty, upon the frivolous pretexts. The complete
identity of the Wing party at the North with the ADO
ltonists, has been shown to the minds OF all VINO
would read and lay aside prejudice The SUBJECT IS one
of fearful moment TO the whole South. The Consl-
tuition of the United States secures TO the South thelr
right in slave property but it, contrary to the fond
hopes of the patriot it shall appear that the safeguards
of that compact are insufficient to protect US IN the
enjoyment of natural and stipulated rights then Is
it time to such means as free people may use
to obtain redress, when aggreved.
Gov. Bagby in his recent message to the Legislature
of Alabama recommended Convention Of the slave
holding States; and Gov NJ Donald of Georgia in his
message the Legislature of his State, the follow
ing emphatic language in relation 10 this important
subject:
81, is perfectly idle for u.s. no matter what may be
the depth and the sincerity of attachment, to be
cnging the forms of the Constitution while lis sub
stance Welding to the rude tide of innovation and ia
natcism, which is constantly lashing against it. And
it. contrary to all the pleasing ontcpatons Of the past,
that instrument shall fail to to the great es
sen,ia object contemplated By its ustrious founders,
becomes duty, not only patriots, but ration
al beings, acting under the powerful instinct Of self
prcseryaton to provide new guards Tor our future
curity. am deliberately convinced in my own mind,
that the period has arrived for the people Of the South
10 act, and TO act efficiently this subject or their
weight and Importance the scale of na,icna! existence
sill be lost and their safety endangered forever
We pretend not 10 suggest what should be the ac-
ton of the saveho!dng States, in order to secure the
land from the unhaowed Vaccinations Of the Adolf
tlonsts: but all see, that if they in silence and
indifference, remain quescent when the property Of
their citizens is eloniousy distracted BY citizens OF
New York and other non.s layeholdinr States we NAV
soon expect 10 roofs given to the flames and
our flesh to eagles. Whether the election Of General
Harrison may rebound for good evil to the country,
pretend not to say; but It is certain, that has been
effected by unholy algamaon with the fanatical
Abotonisis of the North, and the South is called
upon by every incentive towards self-preservaon, 10
keep strict watch the alarming growth of abolition
doctrines in other quarters of the Union.

The meeting at this place to-day resulted In
pretty general determination on the part of the
Y Contractors engaged upon the heavy work above
d Iockport, to continue the present suspension Of
! their work and an expressicn equally unanimous
on the part of those engaged on the sixty miles
5below this place to continue. The President Of
1.-The Board addressed the meeting in very appro-
pirate manner, and expressed for himself and his
associates such determination on their part, to
4 laid those who were determined to proceed with
Sheir work as far as the means in their possession
4 would allow, that many men not engaged at this
4 time upon the lower portion of the line, have ex.
pressed a strong desire to become employed
IA, the Engineers estimate for the work no, YET
alet.
The friends OF the Canal may now safely rely
upon the completion of the line from Peru to
Lockport at an early day, as the nature of the
work upon the Summit Division is such, and the
determination Of the Contractors upon that por-
|ticn of the work 50 fixed, that the greater part OF
the uncxpcndcd appropriation of 81 700 600 may
,bc devoted exclusively to that very desirable OBJ.

Particle in relation to the recent prescription at the

at is just TO Gen. Harrison to say,
,lhat, notwithstanding the press upon him
10y men who claimed to have given him
power, he resisted the ruthless proscrip-
'ton which has been carried on in his
,name. Several we know lie saved who
had been marked for sacrifice. Others
'were removed to whom he had given as
Isuranccs they should be spared, and who
were afterwards informed by him that he
did not know they were dismissed. And
,can any hold him responsible for the long
Hist of worthy men and excellent officers
