the result of the vote upon the Pacheco case
yesterday. He now has hope that the Union
will be preserved,-the dark cloud which fol-

Yes yes ! if the North will but pay the South
for her stolen and runaway slaves il the barba-
rous slave pens in this District can be kept in
operation; if slavery can be planted IN the free
territories of the Union; if humanity, now
bleeding and crushed, can be more fully beasta-
lized and degraded, and Northern men can be
induced so enter into the work, then our glorious
Union Is safe. These are the conditions anC
contingencies; and band of heartless, consci
enceless Northern Representatives have tamely
submitted to do the base, damnable work of pre-
serving party and harmony on these conditions
Twenty. five Representatives from the free State:

upon any emergency, where Southern interest
ale involved always find the requisite aid from
the North. But they do not seem to be aware
of the fact that the people will have settlemen

action of the House upon this question, the law

Kissing and by-word among all Northern free
men, and despsed for their servility by thos
who have used them.-.N H. Democrat.
