INDIANA FRAUD.

1t will be seen that the final agony in
relation 10 the election Of senator in H.
diana is over. The result is Just what We
have expected. For years in nearly every
instance where legislative elections have
turned upon close vote, the locos have
succeeded. Some traitor has been found
in the wing camp weak and base enough to
listen to the seductions of the enemy: In
this way Collins governor was imposed
upon Massachusetts,, and Indiana has been
shuffled out of a wing senator. The evil
consequences to the country may be i'm.
mense. This loss of Indiana will probably
result in tic in the senate, and if so, de.
pend upon it the meretricious acts ofioeo-
focism will secure them a majority in 'n-
body. Some one will be seduced FEC
their allegiance to the wing party. Il
the tariff will be so modified as TO be ",as
ened if not destroyed as a measure OF f''
lection. The subtreasury will be ado?'-1
and the currency of course be deTangea l..
wears to come.

WHO ARE THE ADVOCATES OF
SLAVERY

A few weeks since we published q reso-
luton introduced by Dir. Slade into the
House Of Representatives for the repeal Of
all laws sanctioning slavery in the District
of Columbia, emitting the preamble which,
upon further view of the growing impor.
lance Of the subject, in justice to Mr.. Slade
we publish, together with the resolution. =
AS appears from former paper, upon
motion Of Mr.. Slade 10 suspend the gag
rule to introduce this preamble and resolu.
lion. the wings at the north without an ex.
ception voted for the suspension, and the
locos against il. A similar test of the
trucking sub,ervisncy of northern locoto-
ism 10 tie south was witnessed upon the
printing Of Mr.. Winthrop's report in ref
erence to wrongs and expressions commit
ted upon colored citizens Of the north in
southern seaports, consisting in arresting
and imprisoning all free colored seamen
coming into the harbors of Charleston, Sa.
vannah and Mobile, which he rebuked as
crying outrage, equally violating the con.
stitution, the rights of individuals. and hu-
mainly itself. Upon the question of laying
on the table the question OF printing 5000
copies Of the report, and thus to smother the
subject for the session, it was decided in the
affirmative with one or two honorable ex-
ceptions every loco north and south voting
aye, and without an exception every north.
srn whig voting no. Abolitiouists, will you
look at this. We unhesitatingly pronounce

THE EXCHEQUER.

by aperusul ofou Congressional regis,
Ter 1t will be seen, that The Exchcouer nl,,
WHICH Mr.. Webster "KNEw" was fight Ia,
oeen rePudlatod by an overwhelming maiO,
Ivy ihe fate of this bill, strikinsly iIlu.
trates the truth of the old adags that It'll
much easier to pull down than to build m
In 1916 The currency was in an equally 4.
ranged condition as at present. Tie U S,o,..
Bank was created TO remedy the evil Br,
i; had TO pass many shoals and quicksauJ,
and TO weather many dangerous CAPE be
fore it found itself fixed upon solid ba,,
where it could safely act as a regulator If
the currency ofths country. But no sooo.
err had it arrived at tho acme Of its streug5
and usefulness than it was doomed 10 d.
struction by the most headlong, ignonr,
and reckless despoi that ever cursed IL,
most degraded nation on earth. In v,a
this iron crowned republican President a.
tempted TO restore the currency by the mu
tiplication of State Banks TO supply the va.
ceum produced BY the destruction ola Ma.
tional Institution. Worse than in vain ws,
the Sub Treasury of Mr.. Van Buren, TO re
store the currency. Equally impotent would
be the E1chequer plan of Daniel Webster.
But as an engine ofpeeuniary power il III.
hands Of an ambitious President operating
side BY side with the veto and patronage
powers, IFS consequences to our free instilu
ton, might be fatal. II was therefore r.
jected by Congress. Nothing salutary can
be anticipated from the next loco Congress.
Locofocoism may destroy, bu, has neither
the patriotism nor capacity to build up any
enlightened system of National policy
Nothing but wing victory in 1874, and tie
permanent adoption of whig measures can
prevent country, which might be the most
prosperous on earth, from sinking into the
lowest abyss of pecuniary embarrassment
and eventually 10 poverty and degradation

has been excited among all classes south Of
the Potomac, by the late slave case at Bos.
ton. By the late decision Of the United
States Supreme Court, in the case of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania VS. Pfigg, ii
will be remembered that State laws, pre-.
scribing the process to be pursued by own
ers Of fugitive slaves for the recovery Of
their property, we're declared to be virtually
null-lhe law Of Congress Of '93 overruling
all State ensctments. BY that law, slave
owner was allowed to seize the fugitive
wherever found but it made no provision
for the detention of the slave, so that if the
owner was not strong enough to hold him,
no officer could be compelled to assist
This was precisely the case at Boston,
Gray, The alledged owner. seized Latimer /;
but neither the sheriff, nor any other officer
being bound to aid in OBTAINING the slave,
the latter went free. To supply this def
cheney in the law, the South will ask fo- ad.
ditional enactmsnts, and this will perforce
open the whole subject.
The excitement al the South, fervent as
it is, is almost eeualled by directly oPpo-
site feeling in Massachusetts,. Petitions are
in circulation, in every town in that Stale.
and will of course receive an immense num-
Der of signatures, praying Congress to pass
such laws, and to propose such amen dments
TO the Constitution of the United States, as
shall forever seperate the people Of Massa.
chusetts from al! connection with slavery.
How this is to be done, we de not clearly
comprehend.
We have given, of late, more prominence
TO this subject than is our wont, because, in
all its bearings, it is the most important
