But this one deaism, against which much is said l

and the saving of his life is his main object, he had
better throw away his gold, that he may swim OUT
Many of the soldiers of Napoleon loaded themselves
down with gold when they left Moscow, and persisted
on the way in consequence. Should the Liberty Party
at this time incorporate with its main principle, bank
or ant-bauk, tariff anti-ta, distribution anti-dis-
tbution, it would soon sink into deep water never

UNION OF THE SOUTH FOR THE SAKE
OF THE UNION.
From The Tallahassee RAJ Journal.

We are convinced that if the Sounth would
save the Union, or protect itself, it must be by a
junction; yea more, fusion of the two parties,
which, by rendlng her asunder, have shorn her of
her strength. But it will be replied, with sheer
ing Impotence, that on the question at ISSUE the
Wlmot Proviso the South is already united,
Wings and Democrats, all are opposed to it
We answer, this is not enough We see each
party in the South oppose the Abolitionism of
this Proviso, and at the same time with hercer
determination opposing the other party into which
the South is dlyided-while it harmonizes and
sympathlzes and unites with party in the North
which approves and supports this Provso! We
say to the ttoO parties in our midst dissolsc vou
political connection toith those in the North wbo
odO0cate Abohtioa--iom in brotherhood Nth
those Of the South whO denOunce it. Our motto,
let it be Union of the South for the sake of the
Union.

eleven of them have by their legislation proved
themselves Abolitionists, and the remainder have
given no proof that they are not-they who are
not with us, in the present state of things; being
to all ntents and purposes against us The eey-
en- States which have adopted the Wilmot Proviso
have proved themselves Aboitionists in the full
est deception of the term the object of that Pro-
viso being aimed at, and, if successful, inevitably
calculated to accomplish, the overthrow of the
institution of slavery. With fanatics 1t is impos-
sible to argue. They recognise no grounds Of
truth The Word of God, which is truth, they
reject, or misconstrue. as it suits their views
Al facts they mlsrepresent; III short, they are III
a state of visionary and enthusiastic frenzy, unit
to reason or to be reasoned WITH but very fit, II
left to have their way, to produce evil mcaIcula-
bic With such to urge, is to cast pearls before
swine, What then, becomes the duty OF the
siavehodng States, in these times which are a.
bout to try men! One and ALL to make known
to their representatives, the course they are to fol-
low at the approaching session Of Congress, name
ly TO wait silently the result, and if the Wilmot
PrOyso is passed, to return to their homes
None other than this is the duty of the slavehol-
ding States and God grant they may do it, for
on their united and unflinching hrmness depends
the preservation of the Union, if it is to be pre-
served. If the above views are true, and it APP
pears to my mind that they cannot be controyer-
ted, Convention of the slavehodng States may
be necessary, in order that the people and our
representatives may understand our determine
don. But this leave to those who are more eX-
perienced in the affairs of State than am to de-
eide, only suggesting that whatever is to be done
be done quickly.

A proposition has been made and seconded for
a Southern Convention to be held for the pur-
pose of considering and advising as to the proper
course to be pursued by the South in the peculiar
and critical situation in which she is placed by
the Abolition war that is waged against her stu
tons. To this proposition we can imagine no
possible objection, but many and cogent reasons
in its favor The proposition to exclude the slave
holder from all territory that our Government
may hereafter acquire, if acquesced in, will at
once accomplish the idol object of the Abolition
ist-the destruction of the South. A crisis in
our affairs is approaching which will require the
exercise of all our wisdom, prudence, and firm.
ness. All the guarantees of the Constitution, to
which we have heretofore appealed as to the ark
OF our safety, have been set at naught and tram.
pied in the dust by our implacable enemies, the
Abotionists. This crisis must be met; there is
no alternative Should there not, then, be gen.
eral consultation and interchange of opinions as
to the most efficient mode ofrepelling the attacks
of our assailantsl

FoREIGN NEws.-The English steamship Hiberna
arrived at Boston on Sunday last.
Her intelligence, so far it is of interest is mostly
confined to commercial and financial matters. There
has been tremendous crashing of houses which were
supposed to stand above all failure. The accounts
from the manufacturing districts are still very gloomy,
The distress had extended to the hardware and cutlery
districts of Manchester and Sheffield. The cotton
market was dull and the article had fallen in PRICE
The and flour market however, was better than at
the time Of the sailing of the Britannia and prices had
risen. The failure of the potato crop in Belgium and
Holland had induced several purchases in England
and contributed to strengthen the market
Heiand.-1he potato disease was said to have
eappeaed with sudden and increased desructiveness
but at present these umors have assumed authentic
shape.

From the Emqncipqior.
Am ImnNItant Arrival.

The schooner Thomas H. Thompson arrived
at this port last "Wednesday, from Richmond
Va. with sixty-six emancipated slaves. They
were formerly claimed rs the property of a Mr.
EdIowof Prince Georges county, who died about
four years ago, leaving them free, and providing
that, if they pleased, they might remain on the
plantation until they earned $50 each
They worked four years and received only
2I4,S0 each-thc balance was taken for support
&c. We understand that lawyer whom they
employed to act for them, charged the enormous
sum Of $50 for services, which, gentleman says
were not worth more than rs. Thus they were
cheated out of their earnings. They at last de-
termined to remain no longer, and notwithstand-
inr the frighuI stories of the managers, that they
would be sold into Slavery if they came to the
North, they all embarked with what little bag
gage they had on board the schooner, for free
land.
The Captain, whose name is Wickson, is a
generous hearted son of Cape Cod, and deserves
the thanks of the benevolent for his kindness to
them, He speaks in the highest terms of their
conduct on board the vessel, and their great love
for each other He says there was no difficulty
among them. We noticed the old grandmother,
who had almost worn herself out in the service
of Slavery. She had the most comfortable seat
on the deck of the vessel where, like all other
grandmothers, she was ready to point out her
children and grandchildren and tell of their good
qualities They will soon obtain situations as
carpenters, bIacksmiths, farmers, &c.
Hundreds congregated around the vessel to see
those whom they had for so many years voted
slaves And many for the first time expressed
their adherence of the whole system, and re-
solved to act no longer with parties pledged tc
sustain it,
