We rejoice that there is one Liberty Senator in Con-
gress, who can speak out like freeman upon the sub
ect of the Mexican War, and give utteance to those
sentiments which now agate the bosoms of all chris
tans and phiIanthropst We alude to Senator Cllley
of N. II. He has made speech upon his proposition
Ito withdraw the American troops from the territory Of
Mexico, This speech we have not seen, but find it
spoken of as follows by the Washington Correspondent
of the Boston Atlas:
"Mr. Clley advocated his resolutions with great
deal of solid sense and without any pretenson or pa
ade His remarks were strictly to the question: and
characterized by that practical wisdom and sub
tantial reasoning, that proceeds only from one who

put by rubbing against the sharp edges and turning
he sharp corners of the world. He was listened to
with much attention, and the weakness of his voice

The Missouri Compromise,

A Southern print says that, if the Senate
agrees with the House Of Representatives, in
regard to the question OF Slavery in the terrific.
rics, tie Union is at end, and counses meeting
of all the Southern members Of both Houses of
Congress to strengthen each others hands in
the unalterabe determination not to submit to
abandonment Of the Missouri Compromise
We are not aware, for our part, of any dis
position on the part of the Northern members to
abandon the Missouri compromise That mea-
sure referred to the domain which was "ceded
by France to the United States under the name
of Louisiana" These are its very words
There was no compromise in regard to any other
territory, and nobody preends that California or
New Mexico was included in the sale Of Louis
lana to the United States TO the compromise
within the limits to which il was limited, by the
act of 1920, the North is willing to adhere =
but If any new territory is acquired, there must
be, OF necessity, new arrangement.
1t strikes us, however, that the Southern men,
bers have not always shown themselves SO zeal
Gus for extending the Missouri compromise to
newly acquired territory as they now are The
whole extent of Texas, both north and south Of
the line of compromise, has been admitted into
the Union with constitution not only sanction
ing slavery, but placing certain difficulties in
the way of abrogating it. The compromise,
which these people hold so sacred, has been
treated with utter contempt in the case of that
State
This compromise, by an express resolution oil
the two Houses, about two years since, was sol.
EMMY extended to Texas. That state was at
much brought within the compromise as any
part Of the country coded to US by France, no
because the act of 1920 included it by any fail
construction, but because the resolution provi
ding for the annexation of Texas to the Union
declared that slavery should not exist in Texas
north of the parallel Of thirty-six degrees ant
thirty minutes
Yet, when the legislators of Texas framed
their constitution, they made slavery legitlmat,
throughout the state up to the forty-second de
gree OF latitude. Texas was admitted into thu
Union under that constitution, aud the sompro
mise, which had been agreed upon with so mucI
lormallty, was brushed away so easily and quiet
y that very few persons ever knew that it wa
) done The compromise, so far as it related II
Texas, was repealed by the act of Congress
: sanctoning the constitution of the new state.
If the interests of the save-holdng states hat
) been in question, would the South have aIlowe
itself 10 be circumvented in this mannerl
any measure had been before Congress- the effec
OF which would have been to interdict slavery o

means to be scorncd, but after all the voice of The
masses OF the North will make itself heard through
their representatives,
We commend these considerations to Southern gen
uemen. We are perfectly aware that their serried
phlanxes and sklful tactics have hitherto accomplish
ed great results But these things potent when app-
ed to individuals, fail utterly when they are sought to
be tried upon the eager restless, Independent masses
of the North And it must not be forgotten that an
immense majority of the votes which control the House
of Representatives and elect the President, belong to
the free states. If these powers unite, experience
shows that the Senate is feeble drag the momen-
tum Of the vast machine
1t is impossible to shut our eyes on the fact that the
ties of party are weakening and look upon nothing
more certain than that if by possibility the slave
holding interest could succeed in brow-beating ca
oling Northern members into the extension of slavery
their success would be suicidal. Nothing so sure to
exnguish the very embers of the Democratic party at
the North such exhibition Of seryitude and iucon
Nistency.
The South had their share VIXEN Texas was annex
ed. They must submit with good grace to the checks
whlh common sense and political cxpedency, to say
nothing of higher reasons put upon the farther extern
sion of an injurious and dsgracelul institution.

Suffering in Ireland.

We are indebted, we suppose, to our friend, and
Mans friend, Ellihu Bumitt, nowIn England for copy
Douglass Jerrod's Weekly newspaper from which we
extract the following paragraphs, shadowing forth the
starving condition of the people of Ireand:-
Repeal .4ssociaton.-At the usual weekly meeting,
which well attended, Mr.. OConnel made the fol-
lowing sad statement state Of the country was
tenfold worse than it that day week. (Iear, hear)
The frost had set in, and cold and hunger doing
their work. In Connaught there no less than AZ
deaths from starvation within the week not merely
ports of Deaths but AZ cases IN which coroners' jures
returned verdcts Of death from starvation. (liear
hear) This was a horrible state of things and he
hoped that they would soon be put an end to. The
landlords had come forward to give relief at least to
some extent; but the merchant classes, he regretted
to say were holding back. (Hear)
Deaths and Unco6Inef hterments,- From Crookhaven
we learn that from ten to twelve human beings perish
daily. What will the Times say when we inform the
English people, that in this locality collection was
made, last Sunday, to purchase bier to lake the deaf
b0deS to the grdue WITHOUT COFFINs the residents be-
ing unable 20 continue any longer the purchase of
collins for the numerous dead that demanded the de-
cent rites Of scpulture at their hands! Nor is this
state of things confined to that locality Our SIKH
bercen correspondent informs u.s. that numerous in
stances occur there where dead bodies kept over
ground for several days tor want OF collins, and he
mentions case, of starved man being huddled in
to the earth without that last covering which common
humanity and decency demand from the living. In
the neighborhood of Skbbereen, 3allydehob, Scull
Castchaven, Castletownsend, &c. it is not an uncom
non thing to meet ten or dozen funerals in day

ners in Mayo begin to be too few to hold the inquest
Death by starvation Death from utter restitution

ness upon this line of travel we are glad to learn,
is rapidly increasing; and although the accommoda-
tons not the most ample the travel being perform
ed mostly in the night and liable to frequent Interrupt

During our late visit to Portsmouth we fell in with
passenger WHO has recently travelled over the route,
having left Louisville, Ky, only few weeks since.
Ills flesh bore the marks of the LASH the branding

attempt for liberty, before the underground route was
fully established. He informed us that five others took
passage at the time with himself, all Of whom
succeeded in getting off safe. They are all ere this

This eloquent young man-25 years of his life a
slave-has been among US, and for three successive
evenings until late hour, has held the crowds that
listened to him in changcess attention to his pleas Of
unaffected eloquence in behalf Of the slave. The
hand of Providence may be distinctly seen in sending
forth Mr.. Bib to preach deliverencc to the captive
Gifted by nature with no ordinary powers of intellect
having passed through in his own person, the horrd
sutlorngs of slavery, his wife and child severed from
his embrace by itthese circumstances all conspirc tc
fit him peculiarly to go and stand before Whc sovereign
peope of this great republic and proclaim the Lords
word-"Ld my people co."
If we may judge from the numbers who rally around
him to Sten-from their eager attention. ard their al
ernate smiles and tears, we should say he is the mar
to whom the people are disposed to listen. He il
pledged 10 be at the convention at Danve. W.
hope there will be general rally of the people Il
hear for themselves
0F@ Perhaps an apology is due to the friends in n
Hampshire and Massachusetts for retaining Mr. Bib
so long in this State. 1t was deemed indispensable
that he should attend our second conventions; afte
which he will Immediately return to his former EN-
gagements.
