The WilmOt PrOViSO.

We have not received any intelligence of
the definite action of the Senate in regard TO
this matter. Calhoun opposed its adoption
in a brief and strong speech-strong, not so
much in argument, as in the avowal of de-
termination not to submit to such action as
that contemplated by the Proviso. We will
perhaps give some of his remarks next week.
lie concluded by Offering the following reso-
lutions for the consideration of the Senate.
RESOLVED, That the Territories of the Uni
ted States belong TO the several States com
prising this Union, and are held by them as
their joint and common property.
ResOired, That Congress, as the joint agent
and representative of the United States of
this Union, has no right to make any law or
do any act whatever that shall directly, or by
its effects, make any discrimination between
the States of this Union, by which any of
them shall be deprived of its full and equal
right in any territory of the United States &C.
quired, or 10 be acquired.
ResO!red, That the enactment of any law
that should directly or by its effects, deprive
the citizens of any Of the States of this IN

ion from emigrating with their property into
any of the Territories of the United States.
would make such discrimination, and would,
therefore, be a violation of the Constitution
and rights Of the States from which such cit.
liens emigrated, and in ~derogation of that
perfect equality which belongs to them as
members of this Union, and would tend di.
rectly to subvert the Union itself.
ReSoired, That it is a fundamental princi-
pie in our political creed, that a people in
forming a Constitution have the uncondition-
al right to form and adopt the Government
which they may think best calculated to Sc
cure their liberty, prosperity and happiness,
and that in conformity thereto no other CON
dltion is imposed by the Federal Constitu-
ton on a State in order TO be admitted into
this Union, except that its constitution shall
be republican, and that the imposition Of any
other by Congress would not only be in vio-
lation of the Constitution, but directly con-
Aict with the principle on whith our political
system rests.

HIS servants, probably through The blacks
Of the -city,) and they, led and directed by
the native elements Of their own minds,
sought aid in the city. One succeeded, and
had even obtained his free papers. The 9TH
er failed, and consequently threw himself up
on the sympathies of northern students. To
one and another he went, and at last, to Hen
~ J. Arnold, of Charlestown, Mass. and n
member of the Junior Class. He, feeling
assured that this servant was legally free,
gave him about $li, enclosed in a note, say
ing, that this was done from pure and honest
motives, and hoped no unnecessary disclo-
sure would be made.
The fact that these servants were striving
for what belonged 10 them, became known
TO Capt. IL" who Immediately took them
away secretly the night Of the 10th. Within
two miles ct the city, one of the servants be-
coming alarmed at his condition, unfolded
the whole matter, and told who gave him the
money. This was enough. The matter was
communicated to the faculty on Monday.
The Southern students thercnpon declared
they would leave, unless Arnold left the Col
legr. Mr.. A.. was Immediately examined
by the Faculty, who compelled him TO leave
at an early Lour.-ChriSAaH Rgfeetor, (Bap-

Resolutions Of the Hudson Liberty Par
" Convention,

"Resolpei, That in the Declaration of
American Independence, we recognize an
enlightened, p~r.ctical and safe basis of civil
Liberty.
2. That when the principles Of that in
strument are adopted throughout the United
States, not as abstract political dogmas. to
be protested merely, but as practical law, 10
be administered to the entire people, the great
object OF The Liberty party organization will
nave been fully accomplished, and not until
then.
3. That although truth CONSTANTS us TO
admit that our fathers in their action on the
subject of Slavery, did not come up to the
line of their principles or professions, yet we
cherish their memory with f,ial and aflec-
tionate reverence for the political truth they
proclaimed, and for the progress they made
in the cause of civil liberty and that we are
sternly resolved to take up that cause where
they left it, and as far as in us lies, to do
what they left undone, and to complete the
great work which they begun, by striking
the last fetter from the last slave who treads
the soil Ct our beloved country"
This is singing another song. The mem
beers of that party have of late felt it to be
their ever present duty to vindicate the cha
racter Of the L. s. Constitution, and declare
that the principles it embodies would, if
practically adopted, destroy slavery. We
are glad to see by the resolutions above quoted
that they have adopted an important amend
ment in their usual form Of expression, sub
shutting for "Constitution Of the United
States" "Declaration of American indie
pendence." This makes the first resolution
reasonable and truthful this also is the cha
racter Of their declaration that the fathers, ia
their action on slavery, did not COME up to
the line Of their principles or professions.-
We really have some hope that after a while
they will admit the Constitution 10 be pro.
slavery, and that being such no abolitionis'
can support it.
The State of Florida has repudiated its late
motto, Let us %alone,' and substituted, III
God is our trust
Its present motto is a p~alpable lie, unless
the people of that State are such incorrigiblc
fools as 10 trust in God while serving tie
Devil to the best of their abilities.

pOSt-O0ice Difficulty.

We have good reason to believe that some
of the Post Masters who have the handling
of the Bugle, do all in their power TO vex
and ~perplex our subscribers, hoping thereby
10 induce them to discontinue their paper
They have probably succeeded in some ca
ses-perhaps in many, for when such choose
to play the petty tyrant, they can do much
TO crush the freedom Of the press. We re-
ceived by the same mail this week the fol-
lowing letters-that from the Post Master is
so gratuitously insulting that no one who
reads it will ever suspect him of being a gen.
tleman.
The l%atters will explain themselves, and
perchance give our readers SOME idea of the
petty difficulties which a reform paper is like
ly TO meet with at the hands of ignorant OF
prejudiced officials.

From the National Era.
Alexander PaShkin.

On the 29th of the lstmonth, 1887, in one
Of the stately mansions Of the Northern Cap
ital, on the banks of the Neva, a great man
lay dying. The rooms which led to the
chamber Of suffering were thronged with the
wealthy, the titled, the lifted of St. Peters
burg, anxiously inquiring after the condition
of the sufferer. Alexander Pushkin-the po-
ct and historian, tie favorite alike of Empe-
Tor and people-slricken in a fatal duel two
days before, lay waiting for his summons to
the world of spirits, And when, at last, the
weeping Jukovski, himself only second to
Pushkin as a poet, announced to the anxious
c'owd in attendance, that his friend was no
more, prince and peasant bowed their heads
in sorrow. The cold heart of the North was
touched with the pang of a great bereave-
mont. The poet of Russia, the only man of
the age who could wear with honor the man
ties of Derzhavin and Karamsin, had passed
beneath that shadow, the light whereof is
Darkness"
Now, who was Alexander Pushkin! Can
it be possible that this man, so wonderfully
gifted, so honored, so lamcnted, was a color

TERRIBLE CRASHu THE HALL HAS
GIVEN WAY! NO LIVES LOST!

A messenger has this moment arrived, in
forming me that two-thirds of the floor of the
hall has just given way, and that men, wo-
men and children, tables, and all their beau
tiful contents, all went down in one confused
mass. 1t was all the work of a moment-the
terrible crash of the timbers-the bursting of
the camphene lamps-the smoke-and the
screams of many voices, all conspired to rem.
der the scene fearful and terrific. That part
of the floor which gave way was over the
shed, which was filled with sleighs and
horses, and the side which gave way was to.
ward the street, so that all went down on an
inclined plane into the sleighs and snow, all
piled up together. The only wonder is that
many lives were not lost. Laura Turner
was the most iniured-no bones broken or
dislocaied, but severely bruised and in help
less condition, One woman was bereft of

West Winfield Fair.

Under this caption an interesting letter
will be found in the last A.. S. Standard from
]. c. Hathaway, of New York, under date
of February 10th. Here is an extract that
we think will be interesting TO our readers.
The anti-slavery women held a Fair here
last year, at which they raised in one eve
ming, by their own unaided efforts, the snug
little sum Of sixty dollars. This year they
somewhat enlarged their operations, but two
OF their number being confined by severe sick
ness for many weeks, put them back consi-
derably they, however, struggled on deter
mined to do their best, and three DAYS ago
their hearts were cheered and their hands
strengthened by the reception OF a box of
beautiful things from the pioneer women Of
Boston. Never was anything more oppor-
tune. How much their value was enhanced
BY coming just in the right time. The Fair
is in the large upper hall of our friend L.. G..
Thomas, who is the keeper of a Temperance
House in this place, which does honor both
to the keeper and the temperance cause. |
have not been able to visit the hall, but have
been informed by Charles Remond (who is
certainly a good jndge,) and several others,
that it is trimmed in the most exquisite man
ner-the tables beautifully arranged, and the
variety and beauty Of the articles entirely be-
yond description. Every thing was in per-
feet keeping. The Fair opened at one o.
clock this afternoon, all eyes beaming with
delight and all hearts beating with joy. The
flag is floating gracefully in the air, the day
as fine as the heart could wish, the sleighing
superb, and everything promising.
Erening.-They did a fair business in the
afternoon, and now the people are pouring in
from all quarters, from the surrounding neigh
borhoodS. At an early hour the hall is filled
all is joy and rejoicing. The blessed hour
of t%ruition is at hand now the good women,
blessings on them, are repaid for all their
toll.

of it, asked David to get into il and hand him
an umbrella. David did so, and Buckley got
in after him, pushed of and went some forty
miles down the river, where he landed and
gave the boy in charge Of a female accom-
plice while he went ouI TO try to sell him
