The Whgs-having sacrificed every principle but
hypocricy-are exultng like Judas when he took the
thirty pieces of silver, or Benedict Arnold when he
pocketcd British gold. And well they might rejoice,
If they had elected a man worthy Of being named or
compared with any Of our first four Southern Presi-
dents. A moments reflection will convince us that
this Is not the case, nor any thing like it. Patriot
sn, very scarce at the North has long since fled from
the Slavrhodmg South. The only feeling or princ
pie manifested there, is determination to exteni
Sayery-to give it new Territory and new States
and make Slave breeding profitable.
And the Wings, who once claimed much for resist
ing gag-laws, have now bent and bowed to the piwe
that dictated g1g-laws They have done more They
have as far as possible made common cause with tina
power, when the only question at issue was Liberty
where It was and is-or Savety~cxtension
And Is it cause of Joy to them that one Southern
President has succeeded another or two other South
ern Presidents? Bat tnoy have elected him ant
so they did John Tyler md cursed him afterwards

Annexation Of Cuba.
Committee.

A letter rom Madrid has been published in
the New Yor Herald, in which the writer states that
the United States Government had, through the Amer
lean Minister III Span, opened negotiation with the
hope and intention of purchasing Cuba. John Tyler
had he honor Of completing the annexation of a new
Slave State, just the of retiring from the white
house. Now, James X. Polk and his cabinet wish to
effe't the annexation of Cuba, another Slave State, to
put the last bright gem on his crOwn-to cap the
climax" OF his efforts to give strength to the Slave
power. Let the friends OF freedom be wide awake To
these Infamous deeds in high places. Why don't JAS
X. FOLK, and his compeers in guilt, want to annex ST.
Domingo? All! that would not do. She is free and
independent In that island they have shaken off the
shackles. II she we're annexed, she would send her

Free Soil has ttiunphed in the deah of both of the
old factions as they 'ccre. Now let us grid ourselves
for such other deeds duty invites rs to put forth
You and your readers have been delighted at the
result of the eolt made in New Yok to redeem from
slrvcry the two sisters Mary and Emily Edmondson
An extraordinary sympathy has been felt in their be-
half and thus their freedom has been secured. They
their family and friends are drinking just now from an
ocean of delight The more so, because unexpected,
and coming to them through the tIsineresed exer-
tons of those they never saw and never will recog-
nizc Not one who contributed to the redemption
fun NJ this case, or in any way gave countonance to
the noble effort, either regrets it, or at any future
time will fail to reflect with satisfaction upon any help
ful part he may have taken in the Natter So Judge
of the business.
Let me now state a new case to your rcader5,-
Henry Scott is young Of this city, in every way
meritorous-capable INDUSTRIOUS hustwo thy. He
was formerly a slave in Virginia, but is now free
man IN this District. His family, father, mother broth
ers sisters all have been sold South except one Sis
ter Harriet. Upon this sister he dolts Ike true
hearted brother The thought of her sale to the ira
ders drives him enigh to Distraction lie has made
every possible effort in years past to secure her free
dom but failed. Through the intervention of friend,
ne mas persuaded we o"Hct' MIS- -h"'ul - 1HHu9h'
Prince William Co.., Virginia, 70 give him sixty days,
to raise and pay over five hundred dollars for her pur
chase. Henry'S character here stands so we'll that he
is able to provide for two hundred dollars, lcayin
three hundred to be found else herc or Harriet to b.
abandoned to misery and rum Let me submit u
your readers whether it would not refresh their rs
and in every way do them good to put IN this ,' Of
three hundred doars-Haniet Scots redc p'on

the reputation and standing Of those vino are gully Of
what they deem the crime of boldly wearing the name
of abolilonist. Hence many whose interests and tall
ents quality them for commanding positions in society
and in the church, KEEP, in obscurty far the
authority of their opponents can appoint, aud the ht
which they bear with them will permit. 1t is not in
tended by this statement to say that this treatment is
always injury to those who are the subjects of it,
for we believe that like the transportation Of Joseph
into Egypt through the instumenlty Of bis brethren,
it is often overruiei for good. Nel9r do we intend
to say that those who bcstow it mean to do wrong
they are only striving to rid the world Of what they
deem TO be an enormous evil. Indeed thew seem to
conceive to 10 an evil before which slavery shrlnks
into insgniicance! OF the kindness of their intentions
we have proof in the fact that the for this dread
tul maady is found not in "depetiva agents" alone,
but sometimes IN "stimuIants" And it must be con-
tessed that this tire ment thus far has been the most
successful. We apprehend, however, that, in many
cases the cure IS only apparent, and bl time will de-
termne that the disease has only rendered latent
But whether they "depletvcs" OF "stimuants' we
may easily believe them honest for when persons can
believe both sides Of contradiction true they can at
once perceive consistency where all the rules of logic
proclaim TO ordinary minds there is none. They soJ
they are antslayery that is opposed 10 slavery and
VIC are obliged to believe them. They sun they are
not abolitioniss is do not wish to have it abol
ished and we are under the same obligadont to believe
them before! But how these declarations can con-
sst with each other is more than any at)loaiSt can
pos IDLY conccveit takes the t~istiicatiJn of per-
reptions and logic Of an dni-Sluery man TO do that

Thanksgiving,

This day has been set apart by the powers that be
for the observance of the exceedingly appropriate and
time-honored festival Of thanksgiving. 1t is highly
proper that we should rejoice and be grateful for the
unprecedented civil, political religious and social
blessings which we cnioythat the festive board should
be spread to emorue The bounties Of the harvest
and the heart made merry; but in the midst of our BIZ
hrty, let MS remember the millions of poor slaves in
our own land even in our own national bailwck -
who know none Of these blessings only by being depv
ed OF then the thousands Of widows and orphans, ant
maimed soldiers the fruit of our late atrocou5 war
the mulutudes Of worse than widows and orphans, rem
dercd ch by drunken husbands ana iahels and the
countless multitude Of poor which we ever have witt
US, who are crushed in the dust and driven 10 crime b,
an unfeeing monied aristocracy, as cruel and greed,
as the grave. That was noble sentiment Of the poo
Roman slave" nothimg which affects the happiness
of my feowman, is foreign Or uninvtng to me.
Acting on this principle, shall we not touch light
the cup Of rejoicing?

cumcy IN statements thai conflict in such a ma nner
might multiply instances Of iDaccuracy, but CHOOSE
to pass to my third complaint.
Truth requires accurate distinctions between things
apparently alike; but it is more congenia with
to conionnd things hat arc distinct A. Il. B. has
declared himself against oil tariffs. do not take the
opposite extreme of defending all tariffs, but think tar
ifs may be beneficial oppressive according to their
character and circumstances. My position requires
disiinclons A. H. BIS is best sustained BY conto1d-
ing. Accordingly he has abundantly avoiol himself
Of this aid.
In the Freeman of July 10, he has given harrow
ing description Of the mi~eries resulting from the
British Corn Laws. In the course of his description
he says: "this is tariff rrocction,--it wenches the
bread out Of the mouths OF the poor" sc. After fin
shing his description he olds-what? that Ame lean
protection produces simillr msorcs? No, but "the
Princ,pie oftarif taxation IS the same everywhere"
Now, the strength Of A. II. BIS argument here, if it
has any strength, lie in tar gratultous assertion that
the principle Of tariff taxation is the same everywhere.
And even if he had proved this assertion the argu-
mout would have cmared doubtful. The fire that con-
sumos my neighbours dwelling is a very bad thing no
doubt. But the fire that warns my room and cooks
my DIM err though the same in "principe,' is good
thing The food which is very unwhosome for one
person, though the in princil IT," my be excel
f lent nouishmelt for another. And tariff, which
would be beneficial to county, might be runous
o to another.
But deny that the British corn laws are the same
in principle with such tariffs as defend The OBJ.

MoRE CABINET spEcu1ATIoNs.-The Washington
correspondent Of the New York Herald gives the fol-
lowing list Of meuhcls Of the new cabinet lie says
he has his information fom high authority.

Abbott Lawrence, Of Massachusetts, Treasury De-
portlnent.
Bailey PcYou, of Louisiana, War Department.

Thaddeus Stevens, Of Pennsylvania, Postmaster
General.

fPcyton is not Secretary Of War, this writer thinks
mau. Mr. Webster Is to 60 to England, Seward to
Rome, Riy,s to France, Preston Of S. c., to Spain,
Evans to Russia. The writer says;
We do not like the appointment Of Abbott Law
renee to the Treasury Department lie is to uitJa IN
his views as regards practical policy, but it may be
/ i'll accepting Il seat IN Iaylors cabinet, that he will
agree to adopt moderate course. The New Emo
land States have done well, that it seems meas,
urc of Justice, they should be represented in the cab
net and they are almost unanimously in favor Of Mr..
Lawrence. a great many wings, also, in other parts
OF the Union, viii press Mr. Lawrences appointment;
and it viii be difficult mattef-should it be thought
advisable, which believe will not be the cusc-o
resist claims 50 well grounded.
The "Young Democracy" Of whggery is now in
the ascendant The old bunker wings will be put
down if they attempt to rule. Prescription will re
ceive no favor. There will be effort, and doubtes:
strong one OH the part OF the extreme wings to ge
the upper hand, but the "young democracy" eubmc
ing, as it does, moderate Wings and Taylor men, vii
be- fully prepared to check the movement. ella,
whiggery is down forever. The intelligent portion o
the Wing party. feel that the time has gone by for tn,
advocacy of high tariff and national bank and the,
are determined not to throw the government into thu
hands of the extreme democratic party again, by urg
ing measures, which, perhaps, were wise in 30 bu
are uuquestionably falaclous in 40. That portion G
the Wing part, which General Taylor will rely upon
is aware, dat upon ultra party grounds, the Whip
never can succeed in retaining power and commo
sense, if nothing esc will point out the true course
be adopted
The Springfield Republican thinks this writer
guess in relation 10 the Cabinet is close one, is we
satisfied with it, Fjue Of The Seren men tcho are na,nt
are residents Of Stare States, and only two (Thaddet
Stevens and Edward Bates) have any sympathy vii
the Anti Slavery movement These are two who wi
not be likely to find seats in the Cabinet.
