Mysteries of New York.

We find the following mysterious article in
the New York Courier and Enquirer, which en-
dorsed the call Of the so-called "Unon meeting"
in that city.
IVhai can il mean?
Could such a swindle have been attempted, as
is charged so plainly? The "Mysteries of IDOL
phe" were nothing to those of New York.
WHERE HAS THE MONEY GONE MANY of
our Wing merchants subscribed very literally
to the large fund that was raised, for the osten-
sble purpose Of sustaining the Union and the
Constitution. We understand that eight or ten
thousand dollars were collected in this way, by
such promises, and with such expectations
Some of the Wing merchants whose names and
purses were thus coolly appropriated, would like
to know Dhat has become Of H. Scarcely tenth
part of the whole amount could have been used
for any legitimate purpose connected with the
Union meeting. What has become Of the resi- Of
it! How much of it has been paid for printing,
and circulating the Journal of Commences State
ticket! Has the "Vigilance Committee" appro-
priated it to the election of the locofoco Cover
nor. Has it gone into the hands Of Charles o.
Conor, James Il. Brady and Gerard lIalleck to
be used in aiding the schemes concocted at
Tammany Hall Some of the Wing merchants,
who opened their purses literally, Gas they are
always ready to do,) when made to believe that
TIE UNION is in danger, would be particular
ly thankful for Information on this subject
Where has their money gone,-and what Is the
precise political purpose which it is made to
serve?

than ever Aggression Is stronger than ever in

than ever. Aggression is stronger than ever in
the North and in Congress. The Southern
members who voted for these Peace measures
have been answered with reputation, resistance
and defiance. The recognition by Congress OF
a single constitutional right Of the South which
no man has the hardihood to question, has been
met in the North by denuneiation, by violence,
by the ballot box, to an extent far beyond the
opposition made in the South to all the aggres-
sion and spoliation which the Compromise
scheme inficts on her. A portion of the South
ern members offered substantially all the new
territories, an empire, the land of gold, for
peace they have been answered with renewed
and aggravated assault We submit now to
every one of them whose mind is not perverted
and turned aside, by pride of opinion, by subjec-
ton to party, or by abectness of spirit, to every
one in whose veins still flows the warm blood
Of freeman and Southerner, whether the day
of Southern resistance has not come? Whether
it is not better nop for the South to take her
stand for safety, for right, for honor, for power
for equality, than wait to struggle for mere
existence, and for life? We have opposed the
scheme of miscalled Compromise from the be-
ginning, because it was outrage and plumber,
because we believed that encroachment can
never be stayed by retreat, because it was in
contempt of the letter and spirit of the resolu-
tons adopted by so many of the Southern
States, which they could never desert without
disgrace and disaster.
We are at length indicated by events. The
offer of Southern submission has failed to secure
even truce, respite, or an abatement of
Northerns hostility. The humble residuum of
Southern rights on which submission takes its
stand is already assaulted with more violence
than the entire constitutional platform which
has been defended by her uncompromising
friends. The measure of Northern demand is
the measure of Southern surrender.
The love of liberty is not universal or a
predominant sentiment among States or men.
Submissionism is the chronic moral malady of
our race. Liberty, like every other good, can
be achieved and preserved, only by vigilance,
courage self.denial and intelligence. The me-
cessty for these is continual. The South has
hitherto submitted gradually, from the fatal in
trinity of our nature: but a case is at length
presented that shocks and arouses a sensibility
that had become obtuse. 1t is an epoch in her
destiny. If she cannot resume her rectitude, but
continues to bend to her fall, the crash and the
ruin will be accomplished with celebrity due to
the augmenting velocity Of descending bodies.

More Prescription Of Free-soilers

The following extracts, from Cleveland (Ohio)
Democrat, will show how "the people are putting
down the Free-soiers!"
CHARLES DURKEE of Wisconsin is elected

hold. Another triumph that For it is the voice

hundred.
Madison county is reported to have given him

The Detroit Freeman thus declares the popu-
lar endorsement of KINGSLEY s. BINGHAM:
HoNoR TO Mr.. BlNGHAM.-In all parts of this
State we have the strongest expressions of ap-
probation of Mr.. Bnghams course A meeting
at Lower Saginaw passed the following reso-
luton:
Resolued, That we cordially approve of the
course pursued by our representative in Congress
the Hon. Kingsley s. Bngham-the faithful,
fearless and honest representative of the con-
stituency he represented and by whom he was
elected-on the bill for the admission of Califor-
MIA his manly opposition to the extension of
slavery-the Infamous Fugitive slave bill, and
against the renewal of the Plough patent to the
heirs of Jethro Wood; and hereby tender him
our heartfelt thanks for the faithful services
dercd.
Do these facts tend to confirm the story of
that reaction at the North which was to over
whem the Free-soilers, or do they not show the
reverse? Facts are stubborn things.

that the evil days was not yet come.
Their neighbors of Hartford also, have been
bitten by the same mania. The following rcso.
lutions were passed at meeting:
Reso7red, That we sympathize with the fugi-
tives from Southern slavery in our community.

spirit, are thus achieving their own freedom ;
that we will give them shelter, food and clothing,

will use our utmost endeavors to secure to them

Just as there arc handsome and ugly men; the
dark pearl being found on the dark shell of the

that it is produced ny IL portion Of the animal
called the n,anlie-and for explanation sake we
NAV add, that gourmands practically know the

in its glossy house, should any foreign substance
find its way through the shell to disturb the
smoothness so essential TO its ease, the fish coats
the offending substance with nacre, and pearl
is thus formed. The pearl is, in fact, little

THE FUGITIVE SLAVE Law IN BosToN-
Two gentlemen from the South, who were
green enough to believe that the North ever in
tended to do justice to the South, or to faithful

the government, designed to protect the rights
