FREE N0IL In ILLlNOlS.

The Democracy of the 9th District, Illinois, IN
Convention assembled, has put in nomination for
Congress R. s. Mallory, Wilmot PrOviso man,
as we understand. The Convention adopted the
following resolution
R>sclued, That we are uncOmPrOmisingly OPP
posed to the extension of slavery and while we
would not make such opposition ground OF In
reference with the interests of the States where II
exists yet we moderately, but firmly, insist that
it is the duty of Congress to oppose its extension
to territory now free, by all means compatible
with the obligations of the Constitution, and with
good faith to our sister States that these princi-
Piles were recognised by the Ordinance of 1887,
which received the sanction of Thomas Jefferson,
who is acknowledged by all to be the great oracle
and expounder of our faith"

THE WING PARTY IN MICHIGAN.

The Webster 0aanaeeys have been more sue
cessful with the Wings of Michigan than with
,hnse Of New York The Wig State cAnyeu-
ton of Michigan, which met at Jackson, on the
24th ult, seems to have been under the control
of Washington influences. 1t took the ground Of
Messrs. Cass Clay, and Webster, passing reso-
lutions commencing them and the bills they sup
ported for the settlement of the slavery question
before Congress. The PenmSular freeman re-
ports that the resolutions were adopted by very
small majority, and remarks that had all the
western delegations been full they would have
been rejected

Light untempered psles the Blossom,

So the Love that's winged with Wisdom
Calls His clouds and gives them Rain.
La Plant in Gods great Garden,
Grain within His guarded Field,
Need not, as well as Sunshine,
Rain to make me thrive and yield
In the Day the great Earth wearies,
Sickens meath the buruing Sun;
In the Night she rallies nObly
Till her strength is all re-won.
Dews fresh, drOpt from Natures chalice,
Cool and quicken all hsr powers
Fit her for another morrow's
Struggle through the sultry hours.
In the Light my soul grows sickly,
Sluggish. fsint-until, at length,
In the Dark how strong IL struggles,
Battling for its bartered strength
Tears like dews, refresh and hallow
All It's powers for noble strife;
Fit and nerve it for another

WING STATE CONVENTION In MASSACHu.
SETTS.

The Wings Of Massachusetts h, Id their State
present Governor and Lieutenant Governor were
renominated. An address was issued in which
the action of Congress on the slavery question
was reviewed The admission of California, a
free State, is hailed as signal victory over
slavery In relation to Utah and New Mexico,
while the Convention says that if the Wings of
Massachusetts, could have had their way, they
would have extended to them the benefit of the
o-ai->~1s, n r7s7, it rests in the oeAsAsas assn
that no slavery will exist in either, and it
abstains from all censure of those who voted
against the Proyiso. The settlement Of The Tex
as boundary it sanctions, and is rejoiced at the
passage of the law abolishing the slave trade in
the District II expresses its regret that, in the
act relating to fugitves from service the right of
trial by jury was not incorporated, and says that
without this and other arrangements, it cannot be
satisfactory to the people of Massachusetts,. Its
language, however, on this point is so feeble and
heartless that nobody will be disturbed by it.
Among the resolutions adopted are the follow
ing:
Resolred, That Massachusetts, avows her unal-
terable determination to maintain all the princi-
Piles and purposes she has in times past affirmed
and re-afirmed, in relation to the extension of
slavery-and the measure of success which has
attended her exertions is a new incentive to con-
tinue and persevere in all constitutional efforts,
till the great and good work shall be accomplished
and perfected
Resolued That it is the duty of all true friends
of freedom in and out of Congress, to watch the
progress of the present free territories of New
Mexico and Utah. and to favor the adoption of all
practicable measures to secure their early admis-
sion as States into the Union with Constitutions
like that of their elder and free sister, California
Very indefinite and by no means alarming.
Mr.. Webster will not feel hurt by them.

the places of the odds and ends of all countries
that now crowd our navy. The character of the
service would be elevated-discipline would be
more easily maintained-the flag of the country
would be placed on the safe footing of men devoted
to its honor-and dismissal from duty would be
felt as degradation and loss, instead of being well
coined as a relief

Mr.. GERRIT SMITH.

Mr. Gerritt Smith who, from time to time dur
ing the last ten years, has seen fit to make us the
subject OF his severest denuncistion, eagerly laid
hold of the unfortunate article on the subject of
fugitive slaves from the pen of our pro ten and
made it the occasion of an attack not only upon
the Era, but also the American and Foreign Anti
Slavery Society, which had once favored it with
q good word.
Lewis Tappau answered him in his usual pithy
and conclusive style, but Mr. Smith was not salts
fed. He addressed Mr.. Tappan another letter
an extract Of which will serve as fair llustra-
ton of the feeling cherished by that genreman
towards one, whose sin is, not being able to sp
the wisdom of the famous address to the slavesM
1912, or to recognise the abduction of slaves, as
the best means Of abolishng slavery
Nevertheless, | am surprised that you have
forgotten my repeated public animadversions
upon DR.. Bailey's editorials on the subject of
promoting the escape of slaves. have never been
at peace with the Doctor, since l witnessed the
cruelty Of has attitude topayds Thompson, Work, and
Burr, and his respect for The pirafical enac'penfs
which they had broken. have never been at
peace with him since he argued against the much
takedof Address to the slaves of 1s42 as he argues
against those imprisoned and beiored brethren And
surely there was nothing in his comaydly and
heartiess disclaimers and mterdnces at the time of
the sad failure of the Pearl enterprise to recon
cile me to him. In the National Convention, in
iS4S, made a speech, not little Of which re-
spected DR.. Bailey's micked regard for SLAVE lans

urn referred to deeply offensive to me at the time

81 need say no more to make it evident that
the codblooded and sophiaicdi paragraphs from Dr..
Bnleys pen, at the time of the arrest of the dear
and noble Chaplin, and the similar and no more
guilty paragraphs in the Fra of the goth August
were not the eause of any dislike of your Socetys
eulogium on the Doctor. | cannot plead guilty
to the anachronism-to the Irishism-in which
You would involve me- These paragraphs are
but another illustration of that unftness of which

an anti-slavery paper"
We have italcised certain passages, and have
no objection to leaving them, without comment
to the judgment Of our readers. Mr. Smiths
philosophy is more in fault than his heart.

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF TLLUsTRIOUs
AMERICANS
Daguerreotypes by BTady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty-four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches Of American citizens who have become
llustrious in the service Of the country. Every por
ton of the work will receive the most careful atten
tion and nothing will be spared to render it a worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re-
public.
MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, collecting Portraits National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken. In the accomplishments Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerrcotypes in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countcnancc.
The drawings and cngravings of DAvignon have
been pronounced by Europeans of taste 10 be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the
CRAVINGS themselves The entire work will be on
the finest imperial folio paper, lG by % inches, r,ade
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
will therefore be comprehensive in its spirit The
names OF those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have Won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments o! life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ument to the great men of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover Of Art, and
friend of our glorious Union, will respond to ap-
peal for encouragement and aid in so commendabe an
undertaking, that its publication may make in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
lnstrious men of the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly
As no work of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most Of citizens the publish
charging very low price They have, therefore,
established the following
