DEMOCRATS OF WAKE!

In four days more the great battle is to be fought,
and the victory won. The question is not, whether
you will merely 60 to the polls and vote. but who
shall do most in achieving the brilliant political
olution now dawnng on the State? For the first
time. in fourteen years, you all high hope and
confident Of victory. CONFIDENCE is every thing at
time like this. If Scott had lacked confidence,
Cero Gordo would never have been won; if "Old
Hickory had lacked it on the plains Of New Or
leans, that noble City would have fallen, and been
desecraed by the foot Of the nsolent invader. If yo
had lacked it in lsis you would not have contribu

as party, is NOW! We have seen you tested in
times past and you have been thrown into the cruci

The LiberatOr,

The old pioneer sbeet-the first to pro-
claim in our land the principle of lMMEDI-
ATE EMANcIPATIo upon its twen-
tieth volume ut the commencement of the
present year. There is not in all the land
another paper which has larger claims upon
the gratitude and affection of the friends of
Radical Reform than this. Its fidelity to
principle under every temptation, its fearless
and independent tone, its promptness to EN-
brace and proclaim unpopular truth without
regard to consequences, should make it dear
to every friend of humanity. 1t cannot, like
The National Era, boast of $4,000 subscri-
bers, but it may say tpithoa Boosting, that,
to the cause of Liberty it has ever been
Constant as the Northern Star,
OF whose true-fxed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the armament
II may also claim for itself the honor of be-
ing more hated and feared by shareholders
and their guilty apologists than any other
journal in the land. How many thrilling
associations are awakened in our mind as
i runs back through the long period during
which this paper has stood foremost in the
conflict with Despotism! But we have not
time to indulge in the pleasing retrospect
With all our heart we say, Success to the
dauntless LIBERAToR May it live to pro-
claim the tidings that our land aud the world
are purified from the stain of Slavery, that
all mankind are free.
We perceive that it has been found neces-
sary to raise the price of The Liberator from
50 to $3.50 per annum. After an experience
of three years, it has been found that it can
not sustain itself at the former rate. We
know of another Anti-Slavery paper, the
price of which ought to be augmented
Can our readers guess its name?

COMMITTEES Of the House.

Mr., Cobb, in appointing the Committees Of
tho House, has displayed an unusual degree Of
libcrality-for o stakeholder. The whole num-
Der of the Committees (cxclusive of that on the
Library, which is Joint Committee,) is &c.
The Chairmen Of half of them are taken from
the Free and half from the Slave States. II we
leave out of consideration the fact, that the
has lao, this seems quite modest on the part Of
the shareholders. This apparent hberality,
however, is qualified by the circumstance, that
the Committees Of which the South has the
leadership arc generally those Of tho highest
importance, while the North has tho captaincy
little consequence. There are exceptions, but
this is tho general rule.
The three Committees most likely to be call
cd upon for action upon the question of Slavery
are those on the District of Columbia, the Ter
ritories and the Judiciary. Of these, the first
is composed of Southern and Northern
members, as follows;
District of Cols,n5ia.-Messrs. Brown of Miss,
Inge of Ala, Taylor Of Ohio, Fuller of Me-, Nor
ton of Va, Hammond of Nd, Allen Of Mass,
Williams of Tcnn., Underhill of N. Y.
Mr.. Allen of Mass. Is a Freesoiler, Taylor Of
Ohio and Undorhill of New York are Wings,
and Fuller of Maine is Democrat. With the
exception of Mr.. Allen, their abolitionism Is not
Of the agitating sort.
The Committee on Territories is composed of
Northern and Southern men, thus:
observation-disclosures. Boyd Of KY, Richard
son of ILL.,, Rockwell of Mass, Seddon Of Va,
Clingman of N. c., kaufman of Texas, Gott of
n. Y, Fitch of H., Giddings of Ohio.
Richardson, of Illinois, is a doughface, and
will doubtless act with the Southern members,
unless frightened to do better by his constitu-
cnts.
Tho Judiciary Committee actually has a
Northern majority and Northern Chairman,
thus:
JUdicia,y.-Mcssrs. Thompson of Pa, Miller
of Ohio, Ashmun of Mass, Meade Of Va
Morehcad of KY, King of N. ", vcnable of
n. c., Stevens of Pa, Wellborn OF Georgia.

Gen. Taylor and the South.

1t is manifest that the President, though a
stakeholder, is not fully trusted by the South 1t
is not enough for them that he says nothing di-
rcctly for or against the Wilmot Proviso and
plants himself on the ground of Nom -Interycn-
ton. They want President who is actively
in their interest, and to whom they can confido
all their cherished plans. This they have had
in former years, but the public opinion of the
North has at length become so potent that even
slavcholder dare not wholly disregard it. The
ultra slavcites are, or affect to be, indignant at
Gen. L. for his supposed agency in the forma-
ton of q State Government in California. Per-
haps they think that proper quantity of blus-
ter, seasoned with artful appeals to his South
crn feelings. may drive him from the ground Of
Nom Intervention, ALLEVIATE him from his North
ern advisers, and finally bring him on to the
truo Southern platform.

Slave Catching.

The Journal Of Commerce of yesterday, in
an article on Slavery, says:
"The Compromises of the Constitution ,
went one step further; or rather, they provi-
ded safeguard at the only point where the
principle of the compromise was likely TO be
invaded. BY sec. 9 of Art. 4, il was decla-
rcd that no person held to service or labor
in one State, under the laws tl:-rco.., esca-
pug into another shall, in consequence of
any law or regulation therein, be dischar-
ged from such service or labor, but shall be
delivered up, on claim OF the party to whom
such service or labor may be DUE No
language could be more explicit; and but
for an inherent spirit of rebellion against the
provision among the people of the North, or
portion of them, no other Interpretation
than that which lies upon the surface, would
ever have been thought of." 80 "The
people, then, are bound by the Constitution
TO provide for the surrender of fugitive
Slaves. But in point of fact they do no
such thing. On the contrary, they usually
prevent such surrender,-ollen by force and
violence. That is, portion of the people
do this, aud the rest look passiycly on"
Now we don't want to be personal but
there's nothing like example for the clearing
up of doctrine. Does our contemporary
mean that II a fugitive slave were TO come
into its sanctum and say: "The pursuers
are at my heels, for the sake of Heaven do,
MIR. Journal of Commerce, save me from
being nguin made cllattel and a brute!" il
would reply, "no, my good fellow, the Con-
stit,rtion and ST. Paul both provide that
you must go back to your owner, and shall
seize you and hand you over to him without
delay, y,"---and then at once put handouts on
the seeker for freedom, and confine him in
some dark hole in the cellar of the Journal
i'll tho owner came up in pursuit? In
other words-Does the Journal look on slave
catching as binding duty ?--.N Y TIl-

The Force Of Irony.

There are circumstances in which irony is not
only justiiable mode Of exposing popular
hypocrisy, but the most cfFcctual means Of
reaching the conscience and moral sense of a
community. We have rarely seen this moral
'cdge-tool more skilfully handled than il was
by the Editor Of the National Anti Slavery
Standard in q notice of the enthusiastic recep-
ton awarded by the people of New York to the
Hungarian refugees. 1t seems that General
Ujhazy and the distinguished Henry Box
Brown arrived in the city tho same day, the
first in the steamship, and the second by the
cars. These gentlemen are both fugitives, the
General from Austrian and Mr.. Brown from
American tyranny. Gen. Ujhazy, aud his
compatriots, were received at the Astor nstke,
and the gallant Lieutenant, Miss Apolonia Jag
clio was entertained at the Irving; "we have
not learned (says the Standard) what place was
assigned for the residence of Mr.. Box Brown,
during his sojourn among us but it is, we be-
lieve, somewhere in the fashionable quarter in
and about Church street." Church street, as
all who are familiar with the localities of New
York well know, is the residence of large body
of colorcd people, who are compelled by preju-
dice and poverty to make their homes in the
midst of surrounding vice.
The Standard notices the incidents at the din
nor given at the Irving House, on which occa-
sion the host placed upon the table a represen-
tation of the Fort of Comon, with the flag of
Hungary waving at the top, and Miss Apollon-
ia standing at the foot, proudly trampling upon
the flag of Austria,-this brilliant affair meas
uring several inches in length and width and
being mado of the incest sort of sugar eandy =
Then returning to Mr.. Box Brown, the Stand
ard, says:
"Mr. Brown also, we understand, has with
him the box, in which he travelled concealed,
for night and a day, through a professedly
Christian Country; and in this box hangs sus-
pended, at this moment, the gimblct and the
bladder by means of which he alone was ena-
blcd to sustain lifo till he reached place of
comparative safety. We have not heard, in
deed, that the box, like Lieutenant Apolonia's s
jacket, has been shown in the parlor Of the Ir-
wing House, or that its owner has been present.
cd with himself in sugar candy trampling on
the national flag of his oppressors, but Of course
1t is not to be questioned that our enthusiastic
fellow-citizens have received each of the refu-
gees in manner the most appropriate to show
exactly the appreciation in this city of tho tru-
est hcrosm. Our own account of the various
receptions is necessarily meagre, and as VIC had
no part in any of them, and in Mr.. Box Browns
case especially have been enabled to find moth
ing, beyond the bare announcement of his arri-
val, in the public prints. But surely We may
safely leave him as well IA the others in the
hands of the patriotic gentlemen who represent
in Committee the public sentiment Of New
York 4"

The National Era.

This paper has entered upon its fourth
volume with list of $4,000 subscribers
How does it happen, that while The Liberia
tor, National Anti-Slavery Standard, &c.
have hard struggle TO live, the Era is a
source of revenue to its proprietor? We
concede the great ability, industry and tact
of Dr. Bailey, and bear a ready testimony to
the high literary character of his paper; but
the secret of the Era's success, in our iudg-
ment, lies chiefly in this-that it meets the
wants of a numerous class, whose minds
have been awakened in some degree to the
cDormities of Slavery, who feel impelled to
do something for its abolition, but who have
not yet attained to clear and thorough views
of the question, nor become prepared TO
follow truth without regard to consequences.
IL is tainted-we say it frankly, and without
any intention to impugn the honesty of its
Edior-with the spirit of Compromise. 1t
is swayed too much by policy, and too little
by what we deem high moral principles
Still we are glad that such paper is pub
Ilshcd al washington, because II dfflses
a vast amount of anti-slavery truth which
its errors and shortcomings cannot Who'll
ly neutralize. 1t does great deal of
good, moreover, in watching and exposing
the arts of the Slave Power in Congress, and
we cheerihlly acknowledge our Indebtedness
to its Editor for much valuable information,
and for his able discussions of various collat-
eral topics relating to Slavery.
If this notice is not as complimentary as
the friends of the Era would like, ii is at least
sincere. When we speak of our cotempora-
ries, we must he true to our honest convic-
tions, even at the hazard of being thought de-
ficient in courtesy. We are willing-nay, de-
sirous-that the measure We mete to others
should be meted TO MS again.

THE BLACK RAINBOW

The celestial phenomenon which was seen
few evenings since, aud termed by behold
ers i" black rainbow" was seen by several
persons in this CITY, as we are Informed by
Mr.. Ross, &c the Express, who was one, as
was his assistant and some ladies' at the same
time all Of whom were astonished at the
novelty of this celestial vision. 1t formed
superb arch Of black in the heavens, and
10 the upturned eye, was sight OF wonder
and majestic grandeur. Until this assurance
from so reliable source, we bad our doubts
as TO its appearance, aud still are not satisfied
with the propriety Of the name by which it
ia chfis,ened. A rainbow is that beautiful
arch in the heavens when the sun is above
the horizon, by reflection and refracilon show
ing the seven primary rays Of light. There
is another appearance called The lunar rain
bow" when the lesser light rules the night,
which is paer than that formed by the sun ;
and still third one at sea, called the "ma.
rine rainbow" or " sea bow" but these want
the distinctive features Of rainbow, by not
bringing on. the seven primary colors.--Fro
