dsys- Of Gen. Jackson. But the SlaverJ
agitation has turned the tables. We nIw
lind the blacklist doctrine of notification the
creed Of all the abolitonists, liberty men, Sc ward
men and free sellers, and of NEST Of the religious
conventicles of the Northern States. The fact of
this element of notification exisa in the declara-
ions that the Fugitive Slave law is aull and void
that it should be, and will be, resisted with'arms
and that the officers of the Jaw will be shot down
like dogs if they attempt, in certain quarters, to
disch argc their duty to the constitution. Appeals
are made to the ''highsa laws of morality and
the lower laws Of treason, mutiny, and civil war,
in this resistance to the law of the land.
The first official party movement giving aid and
comfort 10 these Northern traitors to the Union,
may be found in the resolutions of the Wing Con-
vention at Syracuse, declaring w. II. Seward
especially" entitled TO thanks for his factious,
skulkiDg aad reasonable in the Senate, dis
grazing his State and his party, and weakening the
hands OF President Fillmore, whose patriotic poll
cy should have commanded his heartiest support.
This was the first movement of any importance
In Northern notification; and the failure of Gran
ger. Duer, and the conservative wings, to expunge
these Seward resolutions from the wing platform,
and the subsequent surrender at Utica, amount to
the endorsement of Seward, and the adoption of his
sentiments, by both wings of the wing party of the
State of New York. Next, we find Massachusetts
and Ohio in fsrore, with notification meetings
and bloody resolutions. Gernt Smith and his
fugitives at Cazenovia, the Pennsylvania abolition
State convention, the Presbyterian church in that
State, the populace of Detroit, the authorities Of
Chicago, the fanatical gathering at Worcester, the
recent proceedings in Boston, and the combined
"hue and cry" of an immense majority of the poll
teal and religious and of all fanatical presses,
have famed the flame till all the Norrh is in a
perfect blaze of notification. Scared up by the
general alarm, we find the fugitive slaves
by hundreds, quitting the dangerous ground
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the border States and
hurrying TO the dominions of Queen Victoria as
the only refuge from afdavits and the posse conf
tatus. The panic has disclosed the important fact
that where only two or three, half dozen, fugi
tive slaves were supposed to be located, hundreds
have been stirred by this fugitive bill, sho wing
that the complaints of Southern slave owners of the
insufciency of the old law for the recovery Of
their slaves, were correct and true, aud that
was high time to suspend if possible, the under
ground facilities of the abolitionsts. But the
scampering of the fugitives has added fuel to the
flame, till notification, like a cracking fire,
rampant through the land.
lntermeddling doctors ofmost ofthe churches the
political parsons and fanacal teachers of divinity,
at the bottom Of the agitation. They always
have been the bottom of the mischefso of society,
by their ntermeddling propensities, and their am
biton to rule the State as well as the church.
II appears, indeed, that some class of the
community has had to suffer from the per-
secutions of political parsons, from the dark
ages down TO the present day When they
had the power, the Catholics burnt the hereto
Proteetants, and the Professionals, in their turn,
roasted the heretical Catholics. And the poor
Puritans, escaping from persecution to America,
when they had set up their tabernacle at Ply
mouth Rock, commenced the same game upon the
witches and Quakers. At present, most of the
churches (the Catholic, to its credit standing
trely neuiraD, or rather most of the Northern po-
ltcal quack doctors of the churches, have joined in
the persecution Of Southera shareholders. The in
fiuence of these religious wolves in sleeps cloth
ing extends far and wide. Cooperating with al
the reasonable and crack brained fanatics, of all
colors and stripes, they contribute TO stimulate the
sentiments of the aboltonists and their threats Of
notification. Holding the balance of power be-
tween the two great political parties in most of the
Northern States, these tratorous factions, thus
gsnized upon notification, will require all the
moral strength of the lovers of the Union defeat
their black and bloody designs.
Under such an array of hostile and reasonable
elements against the union of the States, and The
OF der Of society, it becomes the duty of right
minded, sober.thinking men to follow up, over the
State, and throughout the North, the Union
movement of city, and to rebuke aud frown
down the notification doctrines of Seward,
Greeley, Garrison, Lucretia Mott, and their sate-
ltes There is prevailing healthy opinionin the
North IL is time that it should begin to act in
support Of the law, the compromises of the const-
tuition, and the union Of the States.

TIoN-TuE PLANFrELD QUESTION Among the
several candidates already brought out for the Pre-
sidency, Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas. has now
the honor to be enrolled. The Nep York Sun
has boldly proclaimed as it's candidate for
1852, Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas. Now, as
there is, ought to be, in all things, what
are the reasons of this nomination, by the organ
of Lopez, the hero Of Cardenasl The question is
easily answered. Gen. Sam Houston is under
stood to have committed himself in favor of the
annexation Of Cuba; and is influenced, no doubt,
from the great advantages derived by every body,
from the annexation Of Texas, or, as Mr.. Sec
rotary Walker had IL, the remuneration of Tex
as" Probably he may think the annexation of
Cuba just easy.
But there is a wide difference between the two
cases. Texas was contiguous territory-Cubs lies
across an arm of the Gulf Texas had Andrew
Jackson at her back, and Samuel Swartwout to
give her aid and comfort. Swartwout was the
Corcoran &c Riggs of the Texas annexation, fur
psbiDg the sinews Of war from the New York
Custom House-on time, and such a long time,
that payday never has, and most likely never WILL
come round. But how has Swartwout been treat

He has received neither cash, nor lands, nor
scrip, nor bonds, nor PlanheId money, nor even
a check upon the ten millions. Republics are said
