would hinder it from speaking boldly and candid

The WHALING PANORAMA AT WALDO HALL.
The has never been an exhibition in our city which
more thoroughly combined wholesome amusement with
sound insiru ton, than the Whaling Panorama
exhibition at Waldo Hall. 1t displays the manner in
which is carried on of those great pursuits in which
The mariners Of America have exceeded those of all 9TH
nations even the most renowned for daring enter>
prise, and maritime skill and for which, more than sev~
enty years ago, they were highly praised by Edmund
Burke. The variety of scenes, and of climate, for
which this Panorama is remarkable, is emIneny well
calculated to deveope in the youthful MUD that spirit Of
enquiry which often leads to great ends and it must be
very pleasing to mature intellect the more so that
the artists have evllced wonderful pow er in performing
the work. The spectator is taken round the world and
made acquainted wi its various clmes and goes away
deeply impressed with the magnicence and beauty of
Natures abundant gifts 10 We cannot too strong
y commend this snguarly beautiful and eff exhi-
blion to all who are fond Of enlightened amusement ;
and we do not doubt OF its poprieors meeting with an
ample reward Tor their eudeavors to please an intelligent
community.

The Wings of New York on the
Question of Slavery.

The Wing State Convention of New
York, which met at Syracuse, has nominal
ed strong ticket for State officers. The
utmost harmony prevailed throughout
Judge Forsyth, IA young n an of fine talents,
and of unwavering fidelity to Wing princ-
pies, was chosen President a series of eX-
ceIlent resolutions was passed without dis
senting voice. The resolutions take high
ground in favor of protection of American
labor, in favor of specific duties, and in IA
vor of the State and national administra-
lions. The following are the resolves
which relate to the slavery question:
ResOiUed, That the Federal Constitution
was formed and adopted expressly "to
secure the blessing of liberty" to the
People of the United States and their
posterity, and that no power was given
therein to extend the Gu rses of slavery =
wherefore, we maintain that Congress has
the right, and is in duty bound, to abolish
slavery wherever it exists in the territories
of the Union, and plainly prohibit its estab-
lishment IN any portion of those territories
at any time hereafter.
ReSoiced, That recognizing the restric-
tons of slavery within its present limits as
one of the cardinal principles of our poiti-
cal faith. we pledge ourselves to our fellow
citizens and The country, to exercise to the
utmost all the power we may possess to pre-
vent the extension Of slavery over single
foot of Free Soil
As the Albany Evening Journal well re-
marks: 80 The two resolutions in regard to
slavery, are brief, but luminous and emphat-
ic. They express the opinions and wishes
of every Wing from Dunkirk to Montauk
Point. They present a striking contrast to
the equiyucating, shufiling Resolves pro-
mulgated as the basis of the disgraceiul CO.
aIlton between the Barnburners and Hun
kers."

The Tribune translates the following sim
gular letter-whch is referred to in the

Nevertheless, it is not devoid of the features
OF hossuth's other letters lie TENNIS is a
highly respectable paper, and seems TO en-
terrain doubt of its genuineness. 1t intro

Our readers will desire some explana-
ton OF the following letter, The strange

which we could not now explain without i'm
