vention entitled 10 act for the whole people
of New Mexico. 1t would be seriously
wronging that people thus 10 presume upon
evidence SO trivial, inasmuch as the memo
rial proposes TO strike a fatal blow al the con-
stitutional rights Of half the sovereign States
OF this Confederacy, and 10 do special injus-
tice 10 the neighboring State of Texas. In
The absence of further testimony, | prefer pre-
Stunning, as | certainly do, that this document
has been got up in some irregular way, for
special purposes, wholly unconnected with
the general welfare Of the Republic, or the
particular interests Of the people of New Mex
leo, who doubt not will be profoundly sur
prised when they hear that such a memorial
Of their views and wishes have been formally
presented in the American Senate. But Tor
the high responsibility of those who have be-
come podfathers of the document here,
should be inclined TO speak of it as one Of the
most ridiculous attempts 10 set forth the deli
berate views and feelings Of a whole people
that | have ever heard of.
The Senator from New Hampshire has
thought proper TO go out Of his way, in order
10 attack what he calls the Nicholson letter (;
he charges upon that letter that it contained
views similar TO those expressed in the me-
mortal before US, and accuses those Of us who
OVPOSt lht Hllhtiib VI NhC tlCHlOlidls duu W ~
sanctioned The Nicholson letter, of a gross
inconsistency. That Senator has surely not
read this New Mexican memorial, else he
would have easily discovered that it recon-
mends 10 Congress a violation of the consti-
tutional rights of the Southern States Of the
Confederacy in the form Of the Wilmot Pro-
viso, 10 which the Nicholson letter was op.
posed. Does not the Senator from New
Hampshire know that the Nicholson lettel
declared that Congress had no right to legis-
late on the subject of slavery in the Terrific
ries Of the Union asserted that such legis-
laiion was beyond the jurisdiction of the Fed.
eral Government, and could not but result in
the dissolution of the Confederac ? Surely,
the Senator from New Hampshire must per-
ceive that he has done serious injustice both
TO the distinguished author Of the Nicholson
letter and his supporters.
Mr.. President, | lock- upon this movement
as one of a decidedly serious character. 1t
has originated with two of the oldest and
most distinguished members of the Senate /;
gentlemen of great weight Of character and
extended influence. 1t involves a subject OF
the highest importance 10 the Republic, and
one which has excited the most intense inte-
rest throughout our limits. ] have deemed
it becoming, therefore, to meet it with all pro-
per gravity, and, in language at the same
time earnest and explicit, to declare the views
which | entertain concerning the document
now under consideration, and 10 hint, as !
have done, at the circumstances under which
it probably originated. | am glad that the
yeas and nays have been called for, and shall
not hesitate in recording my vote against the
printing of a paper which comes before us at
a time so unreasonable, and in a manner so
suspicious.

No Compromise.

or Mr.. Polk recommends and urges the
adoption Of the Missouri line OF the Slave
question. We are sick-tired-of the words
Compromise-harmony of the Union. If our
Union cannot be preserved, without extern
ding SLAVERY all over Creation to propi-
tate the breeders, and buyers, and planters
Of the Free Labor hating South, then it is
time that it was blown into as many frag-
ments, as there are particles Of gold-dust in
the Territory we, by robbery acquired of
Mexico. No SLAVES in those mines. No
HUMAN CHATTLES in that land. 1t is
now FREE-it must remain FREE. NO
COMPROMISE! NO CONCESSION in
FAVOR of SLAVERY. FREEDOM OR
DISSOLUTION!! The clustering, bull
lying South, may have its preference. If it
prefers "disunion," then Freedom would
soon be the BOON OF ALL WHO ARE
SLAVES.
Who that read some two or three weeks
since the gloriication of the "True Demo-
crat" of The American Union-its being &C.
mented by freemen's blood and consecrated
by freemen's prayers; and remembers its as.
sertion which we copied and showed the fall
sity of, that the Free Soil movement had put
an end to the Dissolutionists, can believe that
the above is from the self same "True Demo-
craft! And yet it is soft stands just as
we found it in its columns, capitals and all;
and we thank it for its admission that a dis
solution of the Union would confer freedom
upon all who are now slaves This, the
Free Soil organization, and the perfection of
Free Soil measures cannot do. Why then
does not the " True Democrat =" labor to pro-
mote that which it sees will give freedom 10
all, instead of attempting what is at best but
a partial reform, We should be glad to
have the I" Democrat" progress far enough
10 see that Disunion is not only erpedient,
but clearly demanded by principle; and we
have some hope that one of its editors-ihe
one who does not SO greatly reverence the
Union-may yet take a place in the front
ranks Of those who are striving to annul that
"compact with death and agreement with
hell" called the Constitution of the United
States.

The Small POX.

In order 10 correct u~nfounded rumors res
pecting the existence of this disease in our
village, we deem it proper to briefly state the
facts in relation 10 it. There have been four,
or perhaps five cases-two of which were
quite serious, the others very light, one so
much so as to render it doubtful whether it
was really that disease. The whole five are
confined to two families, and with proper
precautions it is believed there will be no
danger Of the complaint spreading.

The PITTSBURGH SATURDAY VIsITER.-
The character Of the " Visiter'' is 10 be chan
ged from that Of an anti-slavery Journal 10 a
literary paper. The people don't love prac-
teal reform well enough to give their hearty
support TO papers which advocate il; we wish
they did. They would rather gather the
flowers of literature than engage in moral
warfare and do deeds of noble daring upon
The battlefield of life. There isn't poesy
enough in slavery 10 suit them. The clank
Of letters are far from musical, and the shTieks
of crushed Humanity, as she struggles be-
meath IA mountain weight Of oppression, doesn't
suit their fancy. They would rather not hear
tell of the wrongs that are being done in the
land-they wish to sit down cozily by the
Preside, and indulge only in such reading as
a literary paper will furnish.
So goes the world. And yet they who
love poetry, and music, and thrilling sketch
es, and tales in which The human passions
are deeply moved should be abolitionists
fol the history of slavery, its every day scenes,
are as much more thrilling and exciting than
The fancy sketches Of fashionable literature
as truth is stranger than fiction. They move
the very depths Of the human heart, and cal
forth feelings that would else sleep forever
And as for poetry and music, is not the Spiri
of Freedom the impersonation Of poetry, ar
no, they who live, and move, and have ,hei
being in il, the true poets and where cal
be found music that will compare with tn
exulting shout of enfranchised millions a.
they throw their broken letters from them,
and sing the song that angels sang, "Good
will to mani"
Mrs. Swisshelm and her associate will
doubtless make a good literary paper. and we
trust that she will "feel Free" as Friends
would say, TO give it more Of a %reformatory
tone than such Journals generally possess.
