The Albany Evening Journal, which
is considered the organ of Senator Se-
ward, has the following paragraph in al
luding to the felonious attempts of the
Northern abolltionists to steal slaves.
Nothing is more true than that the great
est enemies of the negroes, are those
wild aboiitionsts, and nothing has so
much retarded the prospect of emancipa-
ton in the frontier States, as their insane
proceedings:
''It is by such men and such acts that
the condition of slaves is aggravated
and the cause of emancipation retarded
For every slave stolen from border
State, twenty are sold into extreme
Southern Slavery, and those not sold are
treated more vigorously. The ferocious
spirit in which Messrs Giddings, CARR
son, Chaplin, ETC., oppose slavery, serves
but to forge heavier chains for its vic
Tins"

GENERAL Houston AND THE UNION
Il Patriotic S1eech.-Genera. Houston
made a speech recently in the Senate, i'll
which he denounced severely the Nash
vile Convention and disunionlsts in gen-
eral, closing in the following strain;
"Go TO the yeomanry, or as they are
called, the hard handed men of the coun-
trv, the man of substance, and he will
tell you, with his family gathered around
him-this is my home, this Is my wife,
and here are my children; and thus sur
rounded, [ am in this humble mansion as
proud as the monarch in his palace; here
the Constitution protects me. and am
going to place all these endearments upon
the hazard of disunion! Never. never
will they do it, sir. tell you that the
people of the South are right. Give to
them but the benefit of their constitutional
guarantees, and all the factions of the day,
all the distractions that can be con ured
up by disatfection, and broken down
politicians, by disappointed spirits, by
men who have heretofore advocated null
LITIGATION, by loafers who live upon ex-
citement, and by reckless demagogues;
in spite of them all, say the South will
hug the Union to her heart as the last
blessing of Heaven
These sentiments, We will venture to
assert, will find a response in the hearts
of nineteen out of twenty in the whole
South.

He stopped at the Astor, made inquiries

with has darling boy. leaving the guilty
pair to pursue their course OF SIN and
shame as best they might. These parties
may be met daily i'll the Elysian Fields,
seeking to drown remorse i'll the enjoy

are sometimes extremely frantic. She

RUssIA-An Important Docunnent.-
A Russian circular note 10 the European
Governments declares that the Emperor
regards the difficulties Of the present

ton except from the treaties of 1919. In
Belgian, where these treaties had been
broken, distance had prevented interven-
ton: that the same difficulty dad not eX-
ist IN the case of the Duchies; and that
i'm order To maintain the integrity OF the
treaties he Would lend his active support
to the King of Denmark in his endeav-
ors to incorporate the Duchy OF Schles-
wig into the Danish monarchy. The
note boasts of the support which the I'm
perial Cabinet will find in its determlna-
tiou TO uphold the treaties OF 1919 iu the
Government of France, which is called
a faithful ally. Without doubt this note
is calculated to excite a high degree OF
attention throughout Europe. If France
is inclined 10 restore the treaties OF 1919,
the first step she has to take is TO bring
back the vagrant Baurborns. Ii Russia
wiz asist on regarding the treaties as
the r4.blc law of Europe, she must give

the comments of the Wing, especially

ject. | therefore see no reason to avail
myself of your kind and obllging offer to
deny that you spoke by authority from
me. Desiring no concealment, have
NO objection that it should be known
that believe the title Of Texas TO the
territory claimed by her on this side OF
the Rio Grande to oe indisputable; that
the forcible seizure of any part OF this
territory by the National Executive would
be wanton act of despotism, which
should be sternIy resisted by Texas; that
as the evident purpose of this movement
is to convert portion of her territory to
free soil, the Southern States should make
common cause with Texas; and that III
the event Of a collision of arms, or great
danger thereof, would deem il my duty
to convene the Legislature of this State,
and recommend to them the adoption OF
prompt and efficient measures to aid our
sister State in the maintenance of her
clear rights against federal usurpation
Nor have a doubt that in so doing /
shall conform to the will of the great
