claim should ever be allowed by Congress which
rested on such false foundation.
He hoped, therefore, that the House would not
agree to make any such appropriation. The de-
mand, if successful, would be perfect robbery
committed ON the people of the United States
Neither these slave-dealers, nor the Spanish Gov
.ernment on their behalf, had any claim to this
money whatever
His friend from Ohio (Mr Giddings) had told
the House what was the real history of the case.
This Ruiz and Montez were negro save-traders
at Havana in open violation Of the laws of Gu
ba itself They purchased cargo Of fresh ne
grces, recently brought from the coast of Africa,
and shipped them, contrary to the laws of Spain,
having complied with the custom of those ell
gagged in the infamous occupation by giving the
Spanish Governor a bride of ten dollars apiece
for their negroes for overlooking the laws and
winking at their violation. In this manner they
carried on their trade. The negroes rose in de-
fence of their natural rights as men, and put to
death the captain of the vessel and one of the
owners; and having thus recovered their liberty
were deceived by those traders who guided them
here, when they were seized and treated as pi-
rates. while their betrayers were at once set free
Their whole case had been adjudlcated after full
investigation and the men set free and returned
to their native country. And this claim for in
demnity set up by Spain was utterly destitute Of
any foundation in justice or truth.
! Several ether gentlemen having also spoken
to the question, the appropriation was as hereto
fore reported, rejected.

THE FREE MAN .
THURSDAY, MARCHES, Is47
The SOuth~"Mr Calhoun and the
PrOyiSO

Mr.. Calhoun appears to be playing deep and
desperate game for the Presidency and the dis
cusson of the Wilmot Proviso in Congress has
given him fresh hopes of uniting the entire South
in support of his unmasked and abominabe doc
trnes of perpetual slavery, which, with the north
ern support that party machinery" will give
him, may consummate his highest hopes. The a.
larm was sounded in his speech in the Senate
on the Proviso; Virginia and South Carolina
give back the echo, and it is boldly avowed that
if the North persist in pushing that question, the
Union is at an end
In another column will be found the speech Of
Mr.. Calhoun at public meeting in Charleston,
called to consider the alarming encroachments OF
the North upon Southern rights The meet
ing, it will be seen, responded to the sentiments
advanced by Mr.. Calhoun in the Senate, that tc
submit to the exclusion of slavery from newly
acquired Mexican territory, would be unwise
dshonorable, and debasing"
The following remarks upon the same subec
heaven it were as the Mercury predicts it will be
that the North, having a numerical majority in
Congress, would be as united to sustain the in
terests of freedom, as the South to perpetuate
slavery But the fate of the Wilmot Proviso in
the last Congress, leaves us little to hope from
Northern Representatives, so long as the potent
weapons of party and Executive patronage ant
power are brought to bear upon them.
The aggressive policy Of the Wilmot provso thougl
thwarted for time by the defeat of that measure il
to be persisted in With majority in the House, ant
majority of Senators from the free States in the mex
Senate, and in addition the two Senators from Della
ware instructed to vote for the Wilmot provisoh
friends Of that measure are sangune O. success. A
the next session, them will probably be decided ques
tion upon the proper decision of which we solemly
believe rests the perpetulty Of the present Union O
these States To indulge in the expectation that the
issue can be longer overetd, would be as deusive a
dangerous and it therefore becomes every SoUtherne
who values his honor and his rights, and is determined
ito maintain them at all hazards, to be prepared for Ell
her fortune and if the States TO be severed by tn
violation of the compact which binds them together,
meet the emergency with becoming frmness To gu
minds, bodness, at the present moment, is prudence
1t is not only safest for the Soulh, but for the Union
Let the North be convinced of the unalerable deter
minaon of the South the entire South upon this ques
ton of the impossibty of maintaining the Union q
States, without they are ALL equally sovereign and in
dependent-ALL equally entitled to the benefits an
advantages resulting from the Union and they ma
pause to calculate the value of system of govenmeu
by which they have so largely benefited, before the
endanger its existence for the qualification of schem
of politicians or deluded fanatics.

ing of the republic, press this question home
upon its supporters Let the Legislature Of ev-
cry State, unwilling to see slavery forever domi-
nant in our councils, give voice to its will. Let
no man be sent to Congress who is not pledged
against the further extension of slavery by the
power Of the General Government, and who has
not the ability to redeem his pledge Let no n.
man be ever thought of as a Presidential canol-
date, who will openly commit himself on TINS
question. The day for comPr omlse, Mr. Cal
houn declares, has gone by. We want no more
compromise conventions, compromise candidates
The people are sick of them Shall the Federal
Government be used to extend slavery or not

for or against. This is the only rational, man

New POSlage Law.

By the brief abstract of the new postage law
which we give in another column, it will be seen
that important changes have been made-the
most important of which, to newspaper publish
ers at least, is the repeal of the law allowing pa
Pers to be sent 80 miles free of postage. This
is a heavy blow at the country papers Why is
1t that our postage laws are thus tempered with
at every session of Congress! With that, as
with the tariff, the people can bear almost any
thing, if they can have permanent and stable
system; but this constant fuctuation is the ruin
Of everything. Have our Congressman imposed
this burden upon the country press and the coun-
try people, in order to avail themselves of the
benefits of the ranking privilege, which, by the
new law, is restored to them!

"And You, brother Poland, may as well remember
that "fair play is jewel" also and since you have
been ndustrousy telling the people that there is no
difference between wings and ocofocos on this subject
it would be no morethan fair oryou to say that every
'otig in both Houses from The free States voted for the
exclusion of slavery Do the fair thing, gentlemen:
that's all we ask Watchnaan
Yes, sir we stated at the time, that every wing from
the free States voted in favor of the Wmot proviso,
Heaven forbid that should up or detract from
any antisavery merit which the wings may possess.
But really is it matter Of extraordinary rejoicing that
all the members of the true Liberty Party" in the flee
States should vote against the indefinite extension of
human slavery? But what shall we say of the whigS
from the slaUe States, who ALL or with but one exccp-
ton, voted in favor of this extension of slavery? Are
they not lchgs nevertheless? Is there anything in the
creed practice of the party that will arraign them
for supporting, in body, the institution of American
slavery? So far from it, these very men the cham
pions, the very embodiment" of wing principles!

We have but little while to stay in this world
and when we leave it we can carry nothing with
us but our moral character, good or bad con-
science, our guilt or our innocence, How i'm
portant is it then to look after those things which
we must take with us rather than those things
which we must leave behind
THERE is no more constant and deep source
of misery than discomfort No matter what our
circumstances may be, if we are discontinued
all is misery and an unfavorable aspect is thrown

"WE."-"Can the Waterman and Freeman tell us
how 1--WE" have made out in New Hampshire, this
year?"-Patriot.
For a correct version of the news from New Hamp-
shire, would refer our neghbor to the uproarous re-
joicngs of slaveholdng cabinetat Washington which
most heartily reciprocated by Calhoun, McDuie,
and every advocate of perpetual human slavery in A.
merica From such returns as tive" have, it appears
that the State has been carried by the "natural allies
of the SOUTH" by that party which, few years since,
denounced the Texas scheme as being "as black as
ink and bitter as hell" but which, at the demand of
the south, made the very scheme cardinal principle
in the democratic creed; so much so that all who wa
vered in its support were osuacsed and made an ex
ample to all future traitors by that party which has
been for years the cats paw for shareholders in gag
ging the mouths and ramplng the rights of north
ern reemen Is there "gory" in this, Mr. Patriot? If
so, shout; but "we" must be excused.
