public facilities OF intercourse, that commend them
to the patriots consideration. We have an over
flowing treasury-how can il be so well applied
as in bringing distant sections of the country
near-as by facilitating the intercourse OF remote
settlements, and thereby wearing away local as
perities and sectional distinctions Mr.. F. ad.
verted to Mr.. Clay's last great measure-his bill,
report, and speech on the Public Lands He IN.
sisted that Mr.. Clay's conduct-his ability &C.
veloped in the report and discusson-the fearless
and manly frankneSs with which he met crisis
almost forced upon him, all tended to cleRch the
confidence that he felt in his integrity Of purpose
You will recolIect, sir, said Mr.. f., that this
was duty altogether unsought by Mr.. Clay. He
was member ol the Committee oil Manufactures,
and insisted that q reference Of the Public Lands
10 his committee, not lit or according 10 par
liamentary rules; the reference, however, was
made, and MI Clay was charged with a most
difficult and delicate service. There stood the
West with exIavagant calculations: many Other
citizens had persuaded themselves into the notion
that this noble and public domain belonged in e1-
elusive property to the States in which 1t IS STU
ated. What fine theme was here presented for
an artful and intriguing policy to manage to fiat
ter and soothe the warmly cherished expectations
of the West, and vet keep in good humor the
watchful old Thirteen, But what did Mr.. Clay {?
With his habituaI honesty ofheart, he indignant
y repelled the unfounded pretension of exclusive
claims by any portion of the Union, demonstrated
by the most conclusive reasoning, that the Public
Lands were the fruit OF common blood and trea-
sure and therefore were, and ought to remain, a
common fund ior the benefit of the whole.
In conclusion, Mr.. F repeated his conviction,
that while Mr.. Clay was subject Ike all men 10
faults, he was worthy The confidence of his coun-
try; and to use the language of a political oppo-
nent there wes uobleness about the man, for you
al,cays knoio uhere to ind him. Retrace his
whole life, sir. In many trying e1igencies OF the
country, when, or where was II, that he betrayed
the slightest symptoms OF an equivOcal or temper.
izing policy II cannot be found. His opinions,
and feelings, with all his views of national pros
perity, are of the nature and principles of our
Constitution, are before his country. Every man
can read them; and ii is ardently hoped that by
decided expression OF the nations WILL both Mr..
Clay and his measures will be sustained.

ABOLITIONISTS READiu

We commend to the consideration Of every
member of the so styled ''Liberty Party" we
mean TO every honest member of that party,
all who sincerely hope and desire to promote
the ends proposed by its organization-all who
do not use it as stepping stone to advance
their own selfish and ambitious schemes of
personal advantage-the following sugges-
tons from the Albany Evening Journal. If
the Tariff is repealed-if Texas is added to
the Union, has not political abolition brought
about these dire calamities. Have YOU not,
persuaded by such designing men, as Leavitt,
Birney and Co. contributed TO weaken and de-
feat the Wings, and thus have you not given
TO the advocates of Southern interests, a fatal
ascendancyl Look at Connecticut. Have
you not sent four Northern men with South
ern feelings" to the House. Has not the
Liberty Party been the direct means Of the
election of Legislature that has prevented
the choice of one who would vote against the
admission of Texas, and selected John VI.
Niles, who but for physical inability, would
now be in his seat TO uOte for lis admiSSioa?-
Have not the Liberty party been the direct
means of putting Silas Wright INTO tho Uni
ted States Senate, from New Y ork-and Al
len into the United States Senate, from Ohio1
Have they not sent some fifteen Locos TO the
House from these States-where, but for them,
Wings would hare been elected? If Texas
is admitted, and The Tariff destroyed, who
have done more TO bring these things about,
than the so styled Liberty Party
SUGGESTIONS TO POLITICAL ABB
OLITIONISTS.
If the bill now before Congress, destroying
the present Tariff, becomes law, its passage
will have been effected by the votes of Loco
Foco members who are indebted for their e.
lections to the action of the AbolitiOnists in
Connecticut, New York and Ohio. Did the
Abolition Farmers and Mechanics, in throw
ing away their votes, contemplate such re-
suit!
Is the abolition Of Slavery, in the District
of Columbia, the first step to be taken in the
progress of Emancipation And if so, are
the Abolitionists doing their duty in contribu-
ting to the election of ga Northern man with
Southern principles" who stands pledged to
VETo any bill Congress may pass carrying
out this greatly desired object.
Are the AbOlitionists opposed to the annex
alton Of Texas to the United Statesi And if
so will they aid in the election of President
and Congress favorable TO that object! Tex
as can only be annexed or hope to be annex
ed to the United States. through the auspices
of Van Burenism. Abolition, promoting, as
it does, by its political action, the success of
men in favor of giving fatal preponderance
to the South, must share in the responsibility
OF bringing Texas into the Union.
VIII not intelligent, considerate men, weigh
the bearing of these suggestions! Will en-
lightened, philanthroPic citizens pursue
course, tending directly to extend and prolong
the evils which they seek to abolish?

determination to maintain and uphold the
present Constitution. Resolutions were
then passed censuring in the strongest
terms short of expulsion, the conduct of
the members Of that Assembly who memo
rlallzed Congress, and "leaying them to
the contempt and indignation of all just
and honorable men," Such is the language
OF the Resolve. We should like to know
what the Dorrites in the House (Congress)
will do about it. Mr.. Burke has terri
pie weight on his shoulders, it fell to New
Hampshire, the best ally, to bring this sub
ject forward.

RHODE ISLAND LEGISLATURE.

A special session of this body common
ced at Providence on Friday, called by the
Governor, pursuant to requisition of a
large number of the members ofboth Hou-
ses, TO adopt measures adequate to the E.
mergencY in the affairs of the State grow
ing out of the interference Of the House Of
Representatives of the Congress of the T.
nited States Herewith. Gov. Fenner, in
his message, denies to the Congress of the
United States any authority, under the
Constitution, to interfere with the internal
affairs of State in the manner, in the
form, and for the purposes assumed. He
is of opinion, that the attitude of the State
on this occasion, should be indicated by a
silent contempt of all the efforts made to
disturb its peace, by persons in or out ofthe
House Of Representatives Of the United
States. But anticipating the most saluta-
ny result from the deliberations of the Leg
islature; be confidently commits to its wis
dom and patriotism, the protection of the
rights, the honor, and the dignity of the
State.
"This Message was referred to Com
mittee, to take the same into consideration,
andreport what action was proper to be ia
ken thereon. The Committee consists of
Messrs. Chace, Ames, Branch, Updike,
Dixon, Allen, T. Whipple, Smith, and
Rabbit, on the part of the House, 81 Mess
rs. Lawton, Greene of Providence, Harris,
]. B. NJ. Potter, and Bowen, ON the part of
the Senate.
Speaking of the interference of the Uni
ted States House ofRepresentatives, with
the internal and domestic affairs of Rhode
Island, the ProVidenc Journal says :-"This
interference has been provoked by twenty
six members ofthe General Assembly, men
RHO have called upon Congress TO exercise
an unconstitutional power for the purpose
of putting down the constitution of the
State, which these very men have solemn
ly sworn to support. Never before was a
Rhode Island Legislature called upon by
stronger motives of principle and duty to
take the straight path ofjustice. The mem
bers who have committed this violation of
their sworn duty, are unworthy to occupy
the seats whish they have disgraced."

ANNEX

The Richmond (Va.) Enquirer is out,
at last, in favor ofthe annexation of Texas,
and SO, probably, consults the interest (for
time only) of the State. Texas scrip
has risen, and been inquired for, since the
belief Of the submission to the Senate of a
treaty is so generally credited.
Resolutions against the annexation of
Texas, have failed, by majorities of from
3 to 10 in the Legislatures of Maine, New
York and Pennsylvania. Following this
out, here would be three Northern States
with g Senators in favor -Hamp-
shire as, to be added to the votes ofthe
slave States; but half the first 6 would 90
against, and many Senators also from the
slave States.
Zone of the least of these consequent
ces [of the annexation of Texas is war
War with Mexico, certainly-wiih Great
Britain, probably. Let the People reflect
upon these matters well-for to them the
result is ofno striking importance A rar
to protect SldUcry against the Civilized
scorld, is the ultimate point Of degradation
to which a nation, Boosting to be free, is
likely to be driven "-BOst0n Courier.
If Mexico, as well as Texas and Ore
gon were desirable, and this country
ambitious of conquest, treaty annexing
Texas would bejust the thing. After the
conquest by Cortes, the Indian population,
with a single exception, were made slaves.
Since Mexico threw off the Spanish yoke,
slavery has been abolished. 1t would be
war, not only to protect slavery in Tex
as, but to extend it 10 Mexico. Some of
the letters say no treaty will al present be
submitted, it being well ascertained that
the Senate would not ratify it.
