Jealous and unring exertions to prevent the connu
ance and extension of slavery and the nomination by
the two political parties of candidates for President

Maternal Affection.

Men, says the Presbyterian Herald, talk of the
silver cord of friendship-of the silken ties which
bind young lovers the pure affection
of husband and wife, as if it were durable as adj
amant and as pure as the love Of angels. But
hasty word, a thoughtless action, or a miscon-
structed expression, may break the first; slight
neglect, some inconsistency, or trihing favor
denied, may sunder the second: and even the
last may be destroyed, for the green-eyed mon.
ster may find some entrance and blight the fair
est flowers of this sweetest earthly paradise.
But there is love which neglect cannot weak
en-, which injury cannot destroy and which even
ieaously cannot extinguish. 1t is the pure, the
holy, the enduring love of a mother 1t is as
gentle as the breeze of evening, firm as the oak
and ceases only when ifes last CLEAN goes out
in death. During all the vicsstudes of this
changing world, in sickness or in sorrow, in life
or in DEATH in childhood's halcyon days, in
''youth's untroubled hour" or in manhood's Wig
orous prime the mother cngs with the same
unwearied affection to her child. 1t is the same
amid the SHOWS and frosts of Siberia, the tenn
perate and joyous regions of our own fair land
and among the arid sands of Africa
These anxious cares and tender attentions and
often repeated words of mothers love, are not
without lheF nappy influences upon the lives
and characters of their sons. The stern rebuke
of justly offended father may check for a sea-
son the rising and struggling passions of youth
but the sacred lessons learned from mothers
lips are engraven on the heart and retain their
power through life; in virtues paths, and even
in the career of vice, they are continually recur-
ring to our mind, and bring with them, as father
indictments to good, all the hallowed scenes o.
childhood and innocence. Hard is the heart that
will not melt at the recollection Of mothers
prayer; and more obdurate still, the heart of him
who by course of vice can Willingly wiring hel
soul with anguish, and bring down her gray hairs
with sorrow to the grave.

Mr., Niles and Slavery,

The Hon, J. M. NILES of Conn, who, I'M
fortunately, is soon to be succeeded in the Sem
ate by TRUMAN SMITH, a man devoid, if we do
not misapprehend him, of any generous sem
timent where Human Rights are concerned, in
letter published in the New York Evening Post,
fully fraternzes with the radical Democrats of the
Empire" State. We copy the closing part of
his letter, commencing it to the attention spe-
cially of Democratic readers:
"IIitherto slavery has never been introduced
and sustained by the authority of Congress in
Territories in which it did not exist when organ
lied; nor has Congress permitted it to introduce
itself into free territory; on the contrary, it has
excluded it, by applying to all such Territories
the free princi pies of the Ordinance of l7s7.-
Congress has done more, it has excluded it from
a part of one of the Territories where it did ex-
list, when it was coded to the United States
With the exception of the act for the annexation
Of Texas, all the legislation of Congress, hitherto
has been restrictive upon Slavery, and even that

saw fair girl in the morning of YOUTH
Friends gathered around her, and in her smiles
lay hidden key to the sunshine of many hearts.
She was not beautiful--but the melody Of Joy
Gus spirit burst from her lips like a sparkling
rvulet of May. The light of bliss, such as earth
seldom gives, shone in her eye; and said, sure
ly love will be the day-star of thy existence, and
happiness, like rainbow, will ever encircle thy
heart. | looked again; that fair brow was cloud
ed-sadness had clothed that young heart in its
darkening hues The breath of evening played
amid her tresses-the soft moonbeams sparked
like the radiance of ain angels brow-and the
flowers with their dew bespangled leaves, looked
up with greatfu smile to the "Giver of every
good and perfect gift" Can sorrow dwell amid
such loneliness Is there nought, sad one, in
Natures glorious beauty to make thy heart re-
ioice? All! beware how earthly worms destroy
thy blossoms of happiness | listened and the
outpourings of an overburdened heart went up to
Him who alone knoweth its secret windings-
who alone can cheer in sorrows darkest hour
and love when all others forsake. That PRAYER
was answered; she had asked the fearful boon of
creatures love, and it was granted Again
saw friends crowding around the "happy bride;"
and she-but cannot describe such deep ioy
as shone in her radiant smile. Enough-her
cup of earthly happiness was full; it was we'll she
thought not of the bitter dregs. :. .
Times chariot wheels rolled on. =. Who is
that pale, heart-broken being, gliding, spirt-like,
amid the yews of yonder church-yard? Yes, it
is she-the joyous one of other days. She hath
wandered from her lonely dwelling to commune
again with that Father who forgiveth his erring
children He, who promised to Glove and cher
ish," has forgotten to smile on the "wife of his
youth" Others are dearer to him than she who
lives but in his presence. Is it strange that she
longs to lie by the side of those whose love in
lifes changed not! Friend and brother have gone
before to the spirit-land, and sweetIy they whis-
per to the sorrowing one, "Come where the wea.
ry rest"
Springs first vlolets came forth in beauty-fail
as when Eden boomed in its Makers smile
Again it is evening, and the moonbeams ar
bearing another freed spirit to its eternal home

blossoms covered her narrow bed. Mature

unmindful alike of the Wondering clay, or tn
spirits triumphant song Oh, joy to the ran

glorious ones in thy heavenly home. Thou may
est trust their smiles, for no deceit enters there
Bitter is the cup of those who "worship at al

"But the extraordinary pretension is now set
up, that slavery may exist in all the Territories
of the United States, by the authority Of the
Constitution; and that it is not in the power of
Congress or the people of the Territory to ex-
cude it. This makes it the supreme law Of the
land; and when any free territory is acquired
the law of slavery is Immediately extended over
It, Such is the light in which these new preten-
sons of the Slave power exhibit the free nstitu-
tons of this country
This is the position of one portion of the
South. Another party there, in which there is
more general concurrence than at the North do
not 60 so far; they only deny that Congress has
and power to prohibit slavery in Territory, and
that 1T must be left to introduce itself, if it can.
either by the will of majority of the people, or
against it.. And is it not well.known fact that
slavery was originally introduced into most of
the American Colonies without any law to sane
ton it?
"To one of these principles the people of the
North are called on to assent, and thus to make
themselves responsible for the extension of sla-
very. And it is now assumed, that one of these
principles is part of the platform of the great
Democratic party of the Union; and it is clear
that no candidate would have been nominated hy
the late Convention who did not subscribe to it.
Faith in Slavery is part of the creed of Democ-
racy What may we expect next There is
nothing left, unless it be that slavery was to be
carried into the free States.
"a portion of the Democracy of New York
have made stand against these startling pre-
tensions. Their position is responsible one
they are to act not only for New York, but for
all the free States and the Union itself Have
they hrmness enough and selfsacrifcing pat
rotlsm sufficient, to meet such crisis2 If they
have, they will triumph in the end for Free
Principles and the Spirit of Liberty only want an
open field and fair fight to insure them victory.
But if they yield, after having made stand,
there will be no check to the advance of the
Slave Power for long period, if ever; and should
resistance ever come, it might prove dangerous
to the Union.
"From present indications, the Wings of the
North are about to compromise their protested
principles on this subject they seem prepared to
make any sacrifices for the acquisition of power;
what is to be the effect of this course upon the
integrity and union of that party remains to be
seen.
"The Democratic party can only be sustained
upon principles of humanity, justice, and liberty,
which are in harmony with the enlightened and
liberal spirit of the age. And any attempt to
build it upon any other platform must inevitably
lead to its overthrow or dismemberment, followed
by its reorganization on more just and solid
basis"

RESOLUTIONS.
]. Resolved That it is and ever has been a funda-
mental principle that all constitutional and Legislative
law should be construed in favor of civil and political
liberty, and that no form of Government can long
stand in the affections and respect Of the people when
this principle is disregarded.
2. Resolved, That it is not the aim nor object of
the Liberty party to abolish slavery in the several
Slave States by physical force or legislative enact
ment, but in the language Of the Hon. ]. R. Gddngs:
"All can do is to see that they shall not disgrace
nor degrade this government, nor the people of the
free States, by their slavery" Our motto is, "Keep
your slavery, your disgusting barbarity within your
own States. Bring it not upon the North" nor at
tempt to involve lis in its baseness or its crimes.
3. Resolved, That we may sympathse alike with
the nations and individuals who cast off the shackles
of oppression and resolve to be Free and hold in de-
testation yranica power, whether exercised at the
head Of nation, or of plantation-that we welcome
to these free States, fugitives from political or
personal slavery, from every State and cline under
Heaven-that we consider it duty and privilege to
shield them from all assault arrest or annoyance, and
to aid them in securing an asylum for themselves and

be perfect gentleman, though he is guilty of
skin not colored like our own Men of the high

THE CITY CHARTER.

We congratulate the citizens OF Washington on
the final passage through both Houses (havng
passed the Senate yesterday of the bill supple
mentary to and amendatory of the Charter of this
City, and on the moral certainty of its receiving
the approval Of the President and becoming law.
This is an important measure for our city, as, be-
sides extending the right of suffrage all residen,
citizens, and ensuring large and much-needed ad-
dition to the fund for Free Education, il confers
very valuable additional powers and privileges on
the Corporation Of the City and the promptitude
and unanimity with which it has received the sane
ton of the two Houses Of Congress evinces the
kind disposition Of those bodies, as now constitu.
ted, towards the interests of community of which
they are the sole guardians and Legislators.
II will be recollected that the Charter, which has
thus been established, was submitted to the vote Of
our citizens on the 23d Of February last, and re.
ceived their approval by the very large majority Of
$50 yeas to 324 nays.

DIPLOMATIC SERVICE OF THE UNITED STATES,


We publish to-day Report made to the House
Of Representatives by Mr.. HILLrARD, from the Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs, proposing important
changes in the Diplomatic intercourse Of the United
States.
Mr.. HMLIARD has, in this Report, briefly review
ed the history of diplomacy, and recommends to
Congress such remodeng of our own system as
will secure TO the Ministers of the United States the
advantages enjoyed by the representatives Of other
Powers under the modern European system, and
enable them to hold much more influential relation
0 the several Governments near which they are ac-
credited. We have long been under persuasion
that some such modification of the system was
cessary to give increased efficiency to that branch
of the public service. This is an appropriate sea-
son for introducing such changes are desired:
the present condition of Europe, the new forms Of
government which some of its States are adopting,
the importance Of diffusing just views of our own
political system-all these considerations, while they
encourage US TO maintain friendly intercourse with
other Powers make it clear that the Diplomatic
service should be put on footing which will ena-
BILE this Government to conde the great trusts in
VOWED In our foreign relationS 10 competent nanus
BY elevating the grade of several Of our missions,
we should increase the usefulness of our Ministers.
Their intercourse with the several Governments
near which they reside would be more direct, and
their influence in political circles would be greater.
There has been no period in the history of the
world when it was SO important to have the great
principle of Constitutional Liberty understood as at
the present time. That great doctrine that Law is
essential to Liberty, so fully comprehended by those
who constructed our own political system, is
lesson which should be deeply impressed upon
every people engaged in making changes in the
structure of their Governments. Towards main
tanning this doctrine, it is in our power to con-
tribute, by wise and conservative administration
of the Government at home, and by employing
abroad body of enlightened and efficient Ministers.
AS this subject is about to come before Congress,
we have thought it well to publish Mr.. HILLIARD's
report, which exhibits the views entertained of it
by the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House
of Representatives. 1t embraces topics of greatin-
teres to us and to the civilized world, seeking
does to give new efficiency to a system which is
designed to preserve peace among nations.

writer in the last number of the Democratic
Reriev. the leading and mos authoritative organ of
Locofocoism, and the most orthodox expounder of
Progressive Democracy, takes ground in favor of
the absorption Of all of MEauco, if the authorities
OF that country reject the treaty OF peace now await
ing their decision. We have no doubt that if the
Mexican Government rejects the treaty, very
strong effort will be made in this country to get up
an excitement in favor of the policy proposed in
the Democratic Review. We cannot think, how
ever, that enough men can be found in the United
States to carry any such policy into effect, and thus
subject our Government TO the certain perils and
probable ruin which the consummation of that mea-
sure would bring upon it.
There are many men perfectly willing to annex
Mexican territory who are utterly opposed to an
nexing Mexican citizens. The reason why there
is SO much acquescence in the treaty is, that the
war is thoroughly odious, and every body is
anxious to get rid of it on almost any terms, and
that the large amount Of territory coded by the
treaty to the United States is not incumbered with
much Mexican population. If the treaty had pro-
posed to introduce several millions of Mexcans
into our Confederacy, the opposition to it would
probably have been strong enough to defeat it.
