the benghted wings, we suppose, the duty OF OPP
posing the further extension of slave territory. After
having by his casting in the Senate, brought into
the Union that immense slave region, Texas, embracing
large the empire Stale of New York; is capable of be-
ing made.atter having, say, brought this terri
tory into the Unon and given his vote sanction OF that
provision of her constitution by which slavery made
pc, petuai there think the exhoraiions Of John M
Niles TO stand fast against the slave power must have
fallen with great weight upon the wings of old Massa
chusetts. To listen to such consistent free soer must
have been very refreshing indeed

Town Hail. on Friday evening, there about serenity
