The Trenton Gazette tWhi.) complains pi'eously OF thu
Washington Union for 'presnn,ing To advise Mr.. Fillmore IL
administer the government according 10 the EXTREMIST prin
ciples OF Locofocoism.' The Editor is "alrazed,' no inub,
under the idea that Mr. Fillmore ,nay .1tierics' Tie Viii.
patty-for he says:
"Mr. Richie is la5oting To seduce their chosen President
from his allegiance 10 them-lron 'hc very policy they elect
ed him TO pu.sue-to the very p,icy they elected him Il
avoid"
The Editor intulges in idle fears for signs indicate tina
We are To have AS ultra a Wing administration, as if The
blessings of "no p~artyisal' before the election had never
been Haunted on II If banner.
AT the Wing character OF tie administration, the Demo.
Gratis will not grnmble-fnr il is exactly what they eNpcc-
ted. But, al the same time, j, is their right a. il is their
duty, 10 tell MI. Fillmore the truth, and To warn him that,
unless he ahandons his former s.ctlonaism, and pursucs an
enlightened, l:beral and conservative course on the prent
question Of the day, he will surely sacrifice the Union,

NEW MEXICO REFUSED FROM ii HOUSE
Ii Z RETRAYEDw


1t is with these mock-heroic words that the New York
Tribune denounces the refusal of the House 10 admit the
delegate from New Mexico-"ihe most disastrous vote for
freedom, and the most unjust vote in itself which has dis
graced the present session of Congress- The free soil
Wing Tribune denounces ''the Loco Foco majority of Siea-
ker Cobb's committee who reported against his admission
and assails the twenty-five Loco Focos who voted with the
South 10 lay the subject on the table, "ior this cowardiy,
back-handed evasion and suhtcrfuge," by which New Mexico
is turned out OF doors" Some of these twenty-five are
lampooned as "doubly traitors to Truth and Freedom
With all its professions for 'irecdom' this same Tribune
is q Jealous advocate of the admission Of New Mexico, with
her State Constitution which clearly recognizes Peon
slavery. The Seneca o. Advertiser, fairly hits such hypo-
critics on the head, when il says:
"Peon Slavery is but another maine for 1rhite slavery; and
is infinitely more Objectionable than hack slavery. If the
people of the North have strenuonsly opposed the extension
Of African slavery, can they now regard with complacency
the enslayement of a portion OF The WHITE RACE ina State
asking for admission into the American Union! Are they
prepared to welcome a State into The confederation which pro-
poses 10 reduce q class Of lis WHITE CITIZENS 10 the condition
of serfS, similar 10 those Of Russia or Austria? II they are
we much mistake their temper. So much for the non-action
policy of the late administration"

DANGER TO THE UNION.

DANGER TO THE UNION
The Petersburg lnteiigencer agrees with Us taat' IN con-
ssequepee of the Texas and New Mexico difficulty The storm
Slowers upon the Union. threatening nj every ihoii'ent 10 oufs'
in resistiess fury. and that our country was never IN more
imminent peril than at the present moment. We cordially
ke-echo 10 the voice Of warning, and trust that President
XFillmore and the Northern majority may heed its solemn
&sDoles. The excited meetings in South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama, should arouse those in power al Washington,
y DO the.S tal effects Of further delay in adjusting the question
II The South, even the most moderate, will endorse what
the Petersburg lnielisencer says, as follows;
- The only sure way now 10 preserve the Union, Is 10 arouse
the peonle To a full knowledge OF the terrible fact that II Is
s. in extrep& danger, amt the editor and the public man who fails
4 togive the warning Is Il traitor To his trust and The best
hopes OF mankind. Never was truth more torciby and
more timely spoken than when MIR. Stephens in his lslter Ia
! the National Inteligcnccr declared tina, The firing OF the
Potomac to the Rio Giandc; ana we have every reason TO
believe that the shocSin. result is in store for Us. Let The
Compromise Bill be lost, and Congress adjourn without doing
something toward the adJus, mcnt OF the difficulty between
Texas and New Mexico. and that "Fcderal gun viii be hred
and that ELAINE of war; will burst out 10 blaze on until II
has consumed the glorious fabric of this Union. The South
ern people will no, remain GuiCscent and see Texas orcrrln
by troops of the United States. Southern State alter South.
ern State will hy Ia her aid-pariy politics will be forgot
Ten. and the whole South will stand as one man IN opposi
,;on 10 tho fs.~s - the unitcu ,tdtcs. rud where, then
we ASH, will be this Union? Gone with the things that wert
before the flood, and with il will be gone To" the hopes u
free and rational Government throughout the world. 1t i
time that the people were alive 10 their real condition. This
is no "South Carolina crisis" the only mischief TO be appre-
hended from which would be lis offences against good taste
but a time fraught with real peril 10 all that We hold dear n.
a nation.
