Fugitive Slaves. = The Philadelphia
Evening Bulletin, referring TO that portion Of Mr..
webster's speech which speaks Of the obligation
resting upon the States to deliver up fugitive
slaves, makes the following observations:
The ground taken by The Massachu-
setis senator. in reference 10 ahsconding
slaves, is manly and constitutional. Il
certainly was not contemplated, when the
federal compact was formed, that day
would ever come when the north should
endeavor To evade, BY every sort Of SUBJ
terfuge. its clear stipulation not 10 prevent,
IN any way. the re.capture Of The fugitive
negro: and the least the north can do, in
the present emergency. is TO aci uprighily
and honorably towards The south. by en-
tirely altering IFS conduct in this very inn
poriant matter. Il is beneath honest men
To descend TO quibbles ON this question.
Practically. The south is cheated out Of
her recognised properly. TO the amount Of
thousands annually, BY the connivance Of
the north-and this in violation Of the
solemn compact Of the constitution"

pretty good case is TO be made ont Of
the idea that California is the golden
Ophir. Major Noah argues the matter
thus:
In estimating the amount Of gold which
was brought from Ophir. | find It stated IN
Kings. chapter tx. verse %, that they
came 10 Ophir and took from thence 42O
talents of gold; but 10 81 Chronicles, viii.

The Meeting I'm Oxf0rd.-We have
copied in another column, from the Raleigh
Times, an interesting report Of the proceedings
at the meeting held in Oxford on the week Of the
Superior Court, called for the purpose Of provid-
ing for the election Of delegates to represent this
district in the Nashville Convention. We were
much g.atcd, as we think all our readers viii be,
with the remarks made on the occasion by Gen.
Saunders and Mr.. Kerr. The moderate, conser-
vative, and patriotic feeling expressed by them,
cannot, We think, fail Of good effect; and we
trust there are enough such men in the country 10
save it from the evils to which The violence of
more inconsiderate men would be likely to lead.
Some efforts were made to get up a similar
meeting in this county but the result of the meet
ing in Granville, We pre- sumo, put an end 10 the
movement here.
blissOurf.-A tclegraphic despatch in the
Baltimore Sun, states that large meeting was
held at st. Louis on the 9th inst, at which q se.
RIGS Of resolutions were passed. approving Of the
course Of Col. Benton in the United States Sc
nate, and repudiatins Mr.. Calhoun's speech ON
the slavery question, and the threats Of disuaon.
II was also agreed to make Bentonism" the test
