contumely Oh the north, with its great pre-

No Compromised NO HORT Sfavery.

The Albany Evening Journal thus closes
a commentary on a portion OF the recent
message of Gov. Chapman, of Alabama,
wherein his ExcelIency recommends u
Southern Convention to take measures to
have the Southern States secede from the
Union, if the Wilmot Proviso is passed by
Congress: -
On former occasions we have been threat
ened with Southern Conventions and mena-
ced with projects for dividing the Union, on
account of alleged interference with Consti-
tutional Slavery. Then it was insisted that
the South was only maintaining its rights
Now the question is broader and deeper.
Now Slavery seeks an enlargement of its
territorial boundaries and an expansion of
lis political power. 1t was for this purpose
that the War wirh Mexico was waged. But
while Slavery resolves 10 extend itself over
new Territory, Freedom resolves with equal
emphasis that no more American Soil shall
he ~subjugated. Aud this is the issue which
Gov. Chapman offers. That issue is 10 be
tried by Congress. From the Territory
which we have obtained from Mexico, Sla--
very, but for n solemn act OF that Govern
ment, was forever excluded. That soil comes
to us free. 1t is our imperative duty, a duty
from which it would be alike pusilanimous
and criminal TO shrink-to prove ourselves

OF Free soil will be indicated. But if they
talter-if the principles of Freedom be again
comprOnllsed-if Northern members of Con-
gress he again moulded inio 'Dough-Faces,'
all appeal will be taken from Congress to
the People. This will bring the whole ques-
ton, stripped of all collatcrals, aud free from
every eXtfaneous embarrassment, before the
great Tribunal OF the Ballot-hox. In the
election OF the next Congress the American
People will decide, und~erstandingly and de-
liberately, whether Slavery shall extend into
Territory now Free?

To many minds, it may not occur that
there is any impropriety-to Use a mild term
in the above proceeding. Yet look at theo
case. Gen. Taylor is the owner of nearly
three hundred slaves. A portion of These

he has probably bought. Ii is not impossi-

For the Americana

/ am glad to find that fourteen thousand
copies of this admirable work have been al
ready published; and | think that scores and
even hundreds of thousands more ought to be
circulated far and wide over the land. 1t is
a most mastery exposure not only of the
Mexican War;, but of the Texas %iniquity
which led to il, and of the general nachina-
tons of the Slave-power to get and keep the
control of our General Government. 1t is
truly a book for the times, better adapted
than any other l know to the present position
of our National affairs, and well deserving,
for this reason in particular, the widest pos
sible circulation. 1t kills two birds with one
stone it strikes a blow equally strong for
Peace as for Freedom. A shrewd, staunch
friend OF both these objects, said, after n care
iul examination of this work, "it is the best
document now in existence against the eX-
tension OF Slavery; and the opponents of that
great iniquity could not spend S50,OCO in any
way so well as in circulating a cheap edition
OF jays Review all over the land"
i find that this work is now put, for grdtu-
itous circulation, at a price extremely low,
only fifteen cents n copy by the hundred for
n work of nearly three hundred and fifty pa
ges; much che, per than even unbound
tracts. At this rate it would not cost Il great
deal 10 give IL u pTcuy Niuc CiCuldtioH.-
Some friends of the cause, l learn, have Civ
EN- one hundred dollars each, and others
smaller sums, for its g%ratuitous circulation.
Copies have already been furnished to the
members of several State Legislatures; and
all the Legislatures of our country ought TO
be supplied. Ought not the friends OF Peace
and Freedom in Lowell to do something for
the spread of this admirable work through
the land? / do not call upon Free Solers
as a party, for jays Review contains no al
fusion or word from which you could infer
even the existence of such a party. All the
better for this-because it thus presents its
facts and arguments in a way TO interest
alike ali fair-minded men of all parties. Every
high-minded Wing, every honest Democrat,
every earnest Free Soiler ought both to read
and to circulate this mastery book-a book
commended by scores o fpapers, and adml,
red by nearly every one who has examined
it with any care. FArHior'

DECLINE OF THE FREE Soil PARTY IN
MAssAcHUsETTs.-The absolute loss of q
leven thousand Free Soil votes, being more
than a quarter of their party of last year,
shows how little dependence can be put up
on the class of men who see no way OF sal
walton, excepting through the polls. There
was no change of principle, the testimony 10
be borne was MS important and would be as
emphatic in rebuke of the Taylor faction us
the last year, and yet a fourth part of those
Sons Of Light were drawn after their old
parties, or else did not care enough about the
matter to vote at all. The American charac-
ter is not one favorable to the formation and
maintenance of an Independent party. TIT
Free Soil experiences Of this and last year
may be of service by way of education and
discipline, and may tend to prepare the way
for n Northern and Anti-Slavery party, which
shall have an attainable and unmistakeable
object. But il will take a good deal of time,
or a good deal of kieking, TO get a sufficient
number of the Northern People up to the re-
quisite scratch. One thing our Anti-Slavery
politicians must learn, and that is, that it is
absurd for them to aim at Anti-Slayery ends
by seeking TO raise themselves or their friends
TO the offices of honor and profit and yet give
themselves the airs of Garrison Abolitionists
all the time. And they must learn not TO be
too nice, but to know that a Vote is a Vote,
and that Scrupulosity, though a very good
thing in Morals, is great nonsense in Politics,

Begging for Freedom.

Arnold b. Williams, a s~elfredeemed slave
from North Carolina, called at our office on
Saturday. He ONE highly recommended,
Tor his character, by those i'll North Carolina
who knew him as a slave, and also by those
who have known him in the Free States
His business is to raise money TO redeem his
wife and six children from bondage i'll the
Barbary States of America. His appearance
fully corroborates his letters, and we have
mot the least doubt he is worthy of sympathy
and aid. We confess when we saw a per-
son with a look and behavior so manly and
MISUNDERSTANDING for money to buy of
/" Christians" the wife and children that God
gave him, we asked within ourselves, Is this
our country? Is this America ?-and the
brine began to rise aud the lip TO culver. o,
it is starting a great way back in life, for a
poor man to have to buy himself-and his
wife and babes! How long is our country
to be behind Algiers and 1unis? Are we
worse than Turks? If buy we must, why
not buy the whole of slavedom, have a jubi-
Ice, and put the whole thing OH a new foot
ing? This begging for liberty, the birth
right of all, from house to house, and dying
of hope deferred, is too pitiful,-Ch ronotPe.
