TO The Editor Of The Tribune:
have been touring few days in the In
terror OF New England, and you don't know
how much | have been gratifed with IN,
concord and harmony" the satisfaction ant
tranquility, that everywhere reigns, since
Congress adjusted tine Slavery question
10 he sure II is quite true that the striped
members OF the Syracuse Convention obsti-
nately refused to assert that Congress had
settled the Slavery questions to the satsfac-
tlon OF everybody in general, and the Wings
OF New York in particular and in defiance
of the Wing semi-ofiicial Journal at WASH
lngton, and of every grave, ease loving, al
dermanic, and conservative member Of the
Wing party, and of every office-loying patri-
OF OF the Loco-Foco party, declared in eff
feet that the Slavery question was not set
tied, and that VIM. III. Seward, in opposing
the adjustment" through thick and Thin, in
the whole, and in detail, and in declaring
that the settlement, and the adjustment was
no adjustment, spoke their sentiments ex-
actly.
But of course the action of the New York
State Convention goes for nothing against
the fact that the Slavery questions are fully
and finally settled, and that the 100 guns
fired in New York and the 100 fred in this
city, and various other explosions of powder
elsewhere, have established the fact bcyond
q controversy.
IL is likewise true that the Wing State
Convention of Massachusetts, held a few
days ago strangely omitted TO declare that
the Slavery questions were settled, and TO
pass any vote of thanks to Mr. Webster for
helping to settle them, and thus aiding in the
restoration of tranquility to the country
And mora extraordinary still M a.L Lpn..,-
legment was made of the fact that the diff.
iicult subject of fugitive slaves had been
happily adjusted, and terminated to the Joy
and delight of all. The Convention did not
even mike mention of the great speech of
Mr. Webster, delivered on the 9Th of March,
which did so much toward " concession,
conciliation, compromise" and the settle
ment, or of the famous votes in the time of
trial in Congress, given by n distinguished
Free Soil Wing of New England, now
known by the name of Let the Universe dis
solve Wilson.
Yet it is beyond all manner of doubt that
the people of Massachusetts consider the
Slavery question settled, and are delighted
with the Fugitive Slave law, and the grcnt
speech Of Mr. Webster, and the great votes
Of Gen. Dissolve-the-Unio Wilson.
We must also admit that the people Of
Springfield, in Massachusetts, where many
black fugitives reside, have manifested great
feeling and unusual excitement against tho
Fugitive Slave Law; and that this feeling
and excitement appear to be largely shared
in all this Commonwealth.
We saw, for example, in the city of Wor-
cester, day or two since, mos: infamma-
tory notice of public meeting to denounce
this law. The notice embodied the follow.
ing quotation, which was declared TO be the
language of "JEHOvAH": "Ihou shalt NOT
deiip9 unto his master The servani who has es-
cared from his master unto Thee"
Yet the man is a fool who doubts that all
the questions that so lately agitated Congress
and the country are settled, and that the
Washington Union and MIR. Foote, MIR. Web
ster, and Francis J. Grund, the Representa-
tive of Boston and the .NeiU York Herald, de-
serve the plaudits of the world for their eff
orts in restoring peace and tranquility TO
the country, and forever quieting agitation on
the Slavery question.
Again; We shall not undertake TO disguise
the fact that very enthusiastic meetings have
been held in this city, and that we have heard
of such in New York City, where the most
violent language has been used against the
new Slave Law, that composes part of the
recent settlement. And we cannot do other
wise than admit that in one Of the most Con-
scrvative pupits of this city, there was heard
yesterday, from the lips of the highly elo-
quent and distinguished pastor Of the church,
the most thrilling, yet temperate denuncia-
ton of the dreadful law"
Yet il is perfectly well understood that the
Slavery questions are settled, and tina. nobody
can be found TO ogitnte them hereafter but q
contemplate handful of agitntors and rnis-
chiefmakcrs. therefore end as i began,
by the re-cxpression of my qualification that
the grand scheme of compromise or ADJUST
ment works so beautifully and harmoniously
at this end of the Coniederacy, and that all
the Anli-Slavery, ianatical Abolition clouds.
