How TO GET OFFICE. Members OF Con.
gress elect have recently acquired new impor-
lance which was never attached to them before,
from the administration having adopted the alb
surd and most mischevous rule of allowing the
representatives of Congressional District to de-
eide who shall be appointed to office within their
district. The effect OF such rule must be in
the highest degree disastrous to the interests of
the Wing party; and, if persevered in, it will in
troduce elements OF political dlscord into our par
.ty organization in the different States that will
be sure to bring defeat upon the Whigs.-N Y.

SLAVERY IN CALIFORNIA. The Washington
respondent OF The New York Evening Post, writes
follows
81 have information from gentlemen from the
South now here, that satisfies me that struggle
is TO be made in California, as well as here, tot
troduce slavery into that territory. Numbers OF
slaves have already gone there, and masters are
making preparations, much more eHectual than
those you hear OF IN the newspapers, TO send
more. The contest viii arise between these
slave owners and drivers and the mass OF the in"
habitants upon the question, shall these slaves
be retained in bondage, which is identical with
the question, shall slavery be legally established
in California
There can be no doubt that every possible means will
be resoTied TO, by the South 10 the introduction
Of Slavery into the vast regions acquired by IS from
Mexico. One expedient alone, will satisfy them
New Mexico will, if possible be brought under the do>
mnon Of Texas which, at places it under the au>
thority of slave laws and opens the door for the legal
introduction ofSlavery. Efforts will be made, var>
points 10 introduce slaves and TO hold Them, after
which, ii will be claimed, that they were part of
the property of their masters before emigration, and
introduced, as such, into the territory wit bout the
violation of any established law, would be violation
Of good faith to restrict slavery in the territories Such
the argument 10 the of Arkansas, and it was
successful.
But, il all other means fall desperate attempt will
be made TO defeat the Wilmot proviso in Congress
Threats of secession and dissolution will be boldly
made and If that does not succeed, last resort,
compromise will be offered, by the extension OF the Miss
souri, line west 10 the Pacific The whole nfu :
ence OF the administration will be thrown in favor such
an abandonment of the rights ofFreedom and Human
ity How important it is then, 10 the election of
true and fearless men to Congress-men who can not
be corrupted. and VINO go free from any implied obi
CATION to uphold slaveholdng administration.
We hope the Electors OF the Fourth District will pom
der these things, the exgency Of the times demands.
If they do, have doubt that they WILL by strong
and decisive vote again the councils of the

8T Jefferson, in wiring to a friend during the
Revolution, enunciated the following great truth.
Seventy years (says the Daily Wisconsin, have
elapsed since that time, and Wisconsin has the
enviable honor of being the first State in the
Union which has carried out Jefferson's noble
maxim. He says
"They must perPetuate republican truth, by
making the homestead of every man a holy
thing, which no law can touch-no iuggle can
wrest from his wife aud children. Unul this is
done, the Revolution will have been fought in

to witness the execution, formed in the

ANNUAL MEETING
OF THE
Western Anti Slavery Society,

The Seventh Annual Meeting of the
WESTERN ANTI.SLAvERY Society will be
held at the Grove Meeting House or vicini-
ty, two miles North-W of New Garden,
and eight miles South West of Salem, on
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, the
10Th, 20Ih, and 2lst of June, commencing at
10 o'clock, A. NJ.
The Annual Meeting Of the Western
Anti. Slavery Society should be emphalically
a gathering of the AboliIionists of the West.
The doctrine Of " No Union WiM SRareh0Ld-
rs,"-the motto which the Society has in
scribed upon its banner-is every year more
and more commencing itself to the rejecting
minds and true hearts Of the Northern oppo-
nents of Slavery. Every movement upon
the part of the government, every struggle
which The Northern people make to free them
selves from the power Of slavery, but shows
the hopelessness Of all efforts to win the free
dom Of the slave or to regain their own rights
so long as they W allegiance to the United
States Constitution.
Let then all whose eyes have been anoint-
ed to see the sinfulness Of sustaining this
pro-slavery government, assemble at New
Garden, and ~reiterate their testimony against
that "covenant with death and agreement
with hell,"-let them rally to the support of
that movement whose existence is necessary
to preserve in its purity the anti. slavery faith.
This is no time for lukewarmness or in
difference. Every human soul that hates
slavery should now, if ever, speak OUT
The conflict is waxing hotter and hotter, and
high above the sounds of the battle should be
heard the noblest rallying cry of the hosts Of
ffeedom-" No UNION WITH SHAREHOLDERS"
1t is expected that HENRY c. WRIGHT, Of
Philadelphia, and OLIVER JOHNSON, Of Mas
sachusetts, will be present on the occasion
and it is hoped that other Eastern friends
will be there, TO participate in the proceed
ings. But whether or not we have aid and
counsel from abroad, let each come prepared
to do his duty, and no anniversary ever held
in the West, will exceed this in interest.

Friends Editors.
Allow me to say a few words respecting
an Anti-Slavery meeting held in Randolph
on Sunday last, June 3D.. There was a very
fair attendance, and the best possible feeling
prevailed. | have seldom attended a meet
ing where better spirit was exhibited all
seemed to be of one mind. Notwithstand-
ing the meeting was "Grce," there were a
few who were obliged to do the talking f; but
as the takers were very well calculated for
the work, all were satisfied. Among the
few who did speak, | ain panied to say, there
were no ladies. Although a goodly portion
Of the audience were ladies', no, one of them
was "moved " to speak. Why was this =
Why will not ~Anti.Slavery women talk in
our meetings? Why will not woman ex-
%ercise her priviisge-her %RieHTl hearth
ly wish there were more Lucretias and Alb
beys! If there were, we should see quite a
different state of things.
But / digress. Marius Robinson, of MARI
boro', was present, and entertained the meet
ing in his peculiarly happy style, with some
very pertinent and truthful remarks. Mr.. r.
is one of the pioneers in the cause of human
ity, and has long labored in the Ant. Slavery
ry vineyard. For his adherence to the cause
Of The slave, he was favored with a coat Of
Tar and feathers in the town of Berlin, Ma
honing Co., some twelve or fourteen years ago,
Mr.. Robinson was followed by friends Sted-
man, Case and Smally, who always speak
yell, and 10 the point. They showed the in
consistency and wrong of supporting the pre-
sent pro.slavery churches of this land in a
manner which could not be Misunderstood
1t would be foolish in me to attempt TO give
a synopsis Of the remarks which were made;
all were ell.timed, and calculated, in an
admirable manner, 10 further the cause which
we have so near at heart. The meeting clo-
sed in the same good spirit that it convened
each feeling that an efficient blow had
been struck for the liberation Of The slave.
Yours, as ever,
SPECTATOR.
