Petitions.

Why don't our friends send in their petit
tons to the State and National Legislature :
Remember that Congress has a short session
this year, and it is desirable that your petit
tons be there in season.
We observe that some few have been re-
ceived at Columbus, and they produced quite
a sensation too, especially the one asking it
to declare the Federal Union dissolved, on
account of the annexation of Texas. Let the
agitation be kept up-let the Legislature hear
from a dozen towns every week until all the
petitions be sent in. The Western Anti
Slavery Society sent out some 500 copies to
be filled up and forwarded to Columbus
we hope they have all been circulated, and
will be heard from soon. Enclose them in
envelopes and send to such members as Won
wish TO present them. Postage need not be
paid.
The petition to Victoria may be sent
post paid-to the editors of the Bugle, who
Will forward the same. To-day we received
one OF this kline from Betsy NJ. Cowles, con-
tanning 40 names The friends at Austin
burg and thereabouts must have been yery
diligent in its circulation. Who will follow
their examples Others have come TO hand
with a long list Of names. Let us have the
whole 24O copies, well filled, as soon "a
possible.

Are the WeSleyanS ReirOgrading ?

Have net the Wesleyan Methodists of this
country always claimed to be an anti-slavery
body, willing to receive and fearless to preach
the truth and did not the recent action ola GER
tain Conference prove that it at least has for
gotten these high professions, and become
tinctured with that spirit of compromise which
has so cursed other sects! Is it not true that
A. r. Dempster, on behalf of the church with
which he is connected, preferred a charge
against William J. Coon. one of the preach
ers belonging to the Leesburg Conference.
the substance of which charge was, that in
remarking upon the slaveholding character Of
James X. Polk and Henry Clay, he declared
"they were two of the grandest villains in
the United States I" This was perhaps an
injudicious remark, and the speaker probably
did not take into account the unpopularity of
such a condemnation of the head of the De-
mocratic, and the idol of the Wing party, nor
consider how much the Wesleyan members
of those parties would be offended by it.
1t is true James *. Polk and Henry Clay
are both Shareholders; but are they not also
both honorable men, and are not all slavehold-
ers honorable men? and is it not true that the
Leesburg Conference did, at its last session
held at franklin about two months since, enter
tain the charge referred to? and although not
pretending to deny the correctness of the state
ment made by the offender, did it not pass a
resolution recommending him to be more
guarded in future! not in the use of facts,
but Of languagel If Clay and Polk, instead
of stealing MAN, the most perfect and beauti-
ful piece of living mechanism which the Ma
ker of the Universe ever created, had simply
robbed the members of the Conference Of
their watches, would it have been so prompt
to administer rebuke1

Gerrit Smiths Letter.

oer'y party herea6outs, that we should not
publish the last letter Of Gerrit Smith 10 Ed
mund Quincy, which will be found upon our
hrst page this week. We intended to give
The correspondence entire, but Smiths letter
only came to hand a few days since, conse-
quently 1t could not have been inserted earli-
en- 1t is strange that Liberty party should
prId' itself upon this production of Smiths.
The p%uerility of the logic, certainly cannot
be very hattering, and if satire, of itself, be a
high recommendation, some of the articl es Of
Quincy and other Disunionis,s ought to be
highly appreciated by that party.

Speech of Mr.. King,


Of Ncm York, in the House Of Representatives,

Mr. PREsroS King asked leave to make per-
sonal explanation.

Mr. King said Mr.. Speaker, find in the
Union OF this morning paragraph alnding, |

TO introduce. The editor Of the Union, it is very
evident, mistakes the purpose the bill. de-
sire briefly to state the reasons and opinions
which induced Inc To propose the measure and,
that may net be misunderstood, have written
what propose TO say.
Sir in proposing to introduce that bill, had
no intention To Interfere with or 10 anticipate the
action Of the standing committee from which il
came to the House at the last session. but was
governed solely by the desire to bring the subject
presented by the provisions Of the bill to the early
consideration and action of the House. The
bill embraces two principal !eatnres-one pla-
cling an amount of money at the discretion OF the
President, 10 be used in ncgotailnga peace with
Mexico, if an opportunity shall occur when the
President should deem it proper To use this mo-
ney in negotiating a treaty of peace the other

United States may hereafter acquire, being the
provision offered by the honorable gentleman
| from Pennsyyana mir. WmMoT), and adopted
as part of this peace measure by the House of
Representatives in August last. Twill frankly
say that, if had not supposed that there was a
disposition in some quarters silently to give the
free principle of the Wilmot proposition the go
by, and by smothering and avoiding action upon
it to give further extension to the dominions OF
slavery at the expense of free territory, should
not Mt thi, time have brought forward this bill

There can now be little doubt that we shall see
at the opening of Spring, the commencement OF
operations for the preparation ola new cemetery
on the hill north of the farm house Of Charles
Adams, Esq.
a subscription is in promising progress, on
basis both feasible and satisfactory, for the pur-
chase of the ground and the necessary expenses
preliminary to the opening of the tract for its
new use. 1t is not in any manner connected
with any plan for the removal of the dead from
the present burial ground north of the Unitarian
Church, but is to be thrown open on certain
terms to all, whether they may desire TO remove
their dead tlither from any other resting place,
or inter them there at first
Embellishments will progress as the means
may accumulate, and all theproceeds of the sales
oflots to be devoted to the improvement OF the
grounds, after the original subscribers shall be
repaid the principal and interest of their advan-
ces.
We rejoice exceedingly at the near prospect
of realizing an object which has been so near our
heart, but which we lately locked upon as yet a
great way off.
We predict that the new cemetery will IN
few wears become the chief attraction of oul
beautiful village. The site is almost without
an equal in our memory for the purpose to which
| it is to be devoted. From its summit, the view
is admitted BY all who have seen it, to exceed al
others, in town unusually rich in bcautitr
prospects. 1t slopes gradually toward the west
and is among the last spots tingod by the rays o
the setting sun. a thick forest overspreads it
which needs but the hand of culture TO make i
one of the most delightful groves it was ever OH
| lot to traverse.
We believe that few will bury their loved ant
branches is prepared for their reception.
