On Saturday evening last, a meeting OF the
friends of HENRY CLAY was held at the Court
house in this city. The large room in the Court
house was crowded. With the political objects
of the meeting, we as editors, have, OF course
nothing to do. But We wish to refer to the eo-
quent remarks made by the orator Of the even
ing, Charles NJ. Thruston. Esq. on the subject
of slavery. Mr. T. said that all the old ques-
tons of bank, protection, &c, had given way to
q more important one-that Of slavery. Every
one might see that this was TO be the great ques-
ton. DE went on TO speak of some Of the evils
Of slavery, and exclaimed, Would to Coo we
were rid of ito Here the pent up feelings OF
those present burst forth in the most enthusi-
sstic applause We feel that that meeting has
pronounced the doom Of slavsry-that then, al
least, the voice of the people, was the voice Of
God: Let no one say now that our prospects
are gloomy. Mr.. Thruston said he hoped an
emancipation clause would be inserted in the
new Constitution. Here again he was inter
ruPted by the most hearty applause This may
be considered the first uOie taken on the subject
and not voice was lifted up in defence of sla
very.
This may be considered the beginning of goo
times. Let all orators throughout the State tax
a noble stand, as Mr. Thruston has done, an,
they need have no fear that they will not b
sustained by the people. The hour is ready TO
the man.

Diplomatic Relation. wI,s RENE.

Thepolicy Of having diplomatic relations with
Rome, has been thoroughly discussed in Con-
gress and the British Parliament, and in both i,
has been resolved to establish them.
The character Of the objections to this policy,
was the same in both countries. The Bishop Of
Winchester, in the House of Lords, and Mr..
Badger, in the United States Senate, used the
same arguments. The mission would be to the
Pope-it was his oliness that ruled Rome-and
no protestant land should recognize, directly or
indirectly, the spiritual right which he assert
ed.
In reply, il was urged, that the measure was
no concession to Roman Catholcs--no recog-
milton Of the Pope az such. II was to send q
mission to real temporal power-the with.
holding of which might be hurtfal to public in
terests, and would trammel commercial relations

Of condolences between the Partisan revoiu-

The French Revelstisa-Kurs

Whatever may be the end of it, We cannot but
feel that the battle between absolutism on the
one hand, and liberty on the other. has begun
in earnest. Upto this day, Continental Europe,
no matter what revolution has occurred, has
been swayed by rulers who have steadily and
tyrannically opposed all reform. If they have
promised fairly when out of power, they have
broken all such pledges when in. Louis Phil
iiPpe was called "Citizen King" and he plight
ed his faith to surround himself by "Republ-
can Institutions" No greater csntralizer ever
breathed the breath Of life. He has resortsd'
from the start. to corruption and terrorism to
perfect his power. And he, and all the mon
archs of Europe, therefore, oppose every
change, dread the reform of any abuse, because
they fear, it
Would run to these, and these extremities,
And, therefore, think IL rs q serpeut's egg,
Which, haich'd, would, as its Kind grow mis-
chievous;
Aud kill IL in the shell.
How impotent they are, this revolution, the
condition Of all Europe abundantiy proves.
Mind and man, like creation. like the seasons
which give life to nature, have laws, which
cannot DO controlled. A winter Of despo-
tism may pstrify both in thick icy bands. Blu,
