denied by no one, and is no more earn
estly contended for by any one than Mr..
CALHOUN himself.
Admit, then, California when she pre-
sents herself with State constitution Suf-
fer New Mexico to remain as she is, with
more order and better administration of
her own system than she ever had, until
she too can organize commonwealth,
frame her own constitution in manner
to suit herself, and apply, as she can at
the next session Of Congress-or at the
present, if need be-for admission into
the Federal Union. This course can in
jure no one, either in his feelings or in
his property. The people, who must ul-
timately settle the domestic question,
settle it in the first instance; and there is
no longer any room for controversy
which cannot fail to discover the bonds of
amity and affection which now unite the
sister States Of the republic, If it should
fail to subvert the Constitution and the
Union.
To accomplish this result, to carry out
the policy and plan Of the PRESIDENT, it
is obvious that collateral conflicting propo-
sitions must meet the fate Of Mr.. RooT's
resolution. We believe that the public
sentiment of every section is prepared to
see such disposition of all such inter-
fering plans. This we infer from the
strong and decided language even Of the
ultra journals. Approving the PREsr-
DENTS plan, they must approve that
course in Congress by which alone that plan
can be carried out. DESTROYS of suppress
ing agitation-wilhng to waive territorial
organization in California and New Mex
ico-(and such is the universal language
of the Administration press Of the North
and the South)-it is obvious that they
must also approve and sustain the votes
necessary to dispose of territorial resolu-
tons and to avert unnecessary discussion.
Solicitous for the end indicated by the
President, they must be equally solicitous
for the adoption of the means by which
alone that end can be secured.

The western Anti.Slav,ry Fair.


II is time that the attention Of the Abolition
lists of Ohio were directed in earnest to the Fair
to be held in Salem at the close of the present
year. We fear the impression has gone abroad
that the women of Salem and its vicinity, with
such aid as they win naturally receive from the
other sex within the same limited circle, will be
able to sustain the Fair without the assistance
and cooperation Of the friends Of the cause in.
other pitts Of the State. This impression,
however, is entirely erroneous, and will lead. VIC
fear, to a failuro of the enterprise If it is not
speedily corrected. We say to every Abolition
ist In Ohio. and especially to our female friends,
Your hslp in this matter lie greatly needed, and
there is no time to be lost Articles should be
manufactured and seat TO Salem al as carly
day os possible, that the Committee here may
bo encouraged in their labors. We believe the
prospect Of cfcctng sales if the enterprise shall
be conducted with efficiency, is decidedly good;
and now that the measure has been determined
upon, it will be shame If It is suffered to fail
for want of careful attention on the part of
those most deeply interested in its success. We
believe we may safely say that tho women of
Salem, who as the servants of the cause have
undertaken the responsible task of managing
the Fair, will do their very best to make it all
that it should be; but the burden is heavier
than they can bear alone, and they have a right
to look for the generous and hearty cooperation
Of their fcllow-laborors elsewhere. Need We
say morcs

A PERsEyERISG REFoRMER.-Thc abolition
of Floggng in the Navy, says the New York
Tribune, has been effected mainly through the
instrumcntality of Watson G.. Haynes, COM
mon sailor, formerly in the Navy, without edu-
cation, social standing or even oratorical power.
He began poor and ended still poorer, but for
two years he has devoted himself to tho work
of abolishing this monstrous dcsccration and
defacemcnt of the image of God whereof the
Cat and the Colt are the Naval tyrants' blind
accomplices. He has travelled and got up
meetings, procured speakers, carried the sub
ject home to men of influence and standing,
kept it before the People, and by patient, perse-
vcring effort at length aroused public interest
sufficient to ovcrbear the influence of the great
body of the Naval Officers, who, to their shame
be it said, have clung to the lash as the priced
symbol Of their authority, the chief instrument
Of their power. lie has encountered moro re-
bluffs, endured more taunts and insults, than any
other man living. The chief priests and Le-
vites have too generally passed by on the other
side !; the professed Scamen's Friends asso-
Citations of one kind and another have generally
opposed and never aided his efforts. Many of
our great shippers, who do not allow it to be
understood that Flogging is allowed to be prac-
ticed on board their own vessels, wrote to Mem
bers Of Congress warning them against the abo-
lition of Flogging in the Navy. All the Aristo-
cracy and most of the Pharisceism of the land
have been arrayed against one poor, rude, illite-
rate sailor, and yet, with the spirit of Humani-
ty to aid him, he has been enabled to vanquish
them all.
The Tribune proposes to raise for Mr.. Haynes
the small sum of $1,000, as a slight token oi
the public appreciation of his labors. The mo-
nov will no doubt be forthcoming.

~ ELIJAH WooDwoETu writes us at con-
siderable length in relation to brief POST
script appended by C. S. s. Grifing to re-
Gently published letter of his wife, in which Mr.
g. alludes to the efforts of the Church at Litch-
field to hold the Abolitionists responsible for the
sale of Infidcl books by Mr.. Woodwork at the
late Convention in that place. Mr.. G. ridiculcd
the idea that the Abolitionists arc responsible
for the character of Mr.. Woodworth's books,
merely because they suffered him to sell them
at the meeting, and says thoy might as well be
made accountable for the sale of Cronks beer,
or whatever else found market on that occa-
sion. There is not word in the Postscript
censuring Mr.. Woodwork, or implying that he
did any thing out of the way, and VIC know not
why he has deemed it necessary to address us on
the subject. We must decline the publication
of his letter.

ensued. The colored people rallied, and

Rose claims that lie bought bis freedom

says that the Commissioner permitted the
case to lay over, but has already decided that
the deed would be inadmissable If produc-

sufficient to entitle him to certificate for

Letter from Geauga County.

MIDDLEFIELD, Geanga Co,
Oct, 2, 1850.
FRIEND JOHNSON; The people of this sec
ton ure struck with horror and dismay ut tho
act of Congress and the President, for they
have thought that freedom would win tbc
race in the legislative scramble Of the last
session, and they feel confounded by the aw-
fhl situation into which the country IS thrown,
and some talk as though it was the only
course of safety for them to sell their pro-
periy, and flee for protection to Canada, or
some territory of Queen Victoria.
The Aboltionists will now have TO tukc
the first warming at the fire, and it will be
seen whether they will live up to their reso-
lutions, or desert the Slave in the trying hour.
IT is time the people had called Conyeu-
tion to dissolve the Union of these States,
tied by band worse than Monarchy, nnd
they will do so Immediately if they have tho
least regard for posteriiy and their own
rights, privileges and principles.
We had an excellent Annual Meeting, SO
far ms our friends Mrs. Foster, Pilsbury,
Wright, and Brooke were concerned in
speaking, but we of the Grand River Socie-
~ have fallen behind in our business trans-
actions, for there were no resolutions passed,
and il seemed to me Us though the orguniza-
ton here was q complete sham, for the Off
GERS have never reported to this Society, rs
most of the officers do in others, and very
few have made report at all, or at least such
have not come to my knowledge. Perhaps
they had done nothing and bad no report to
make; but it is 10 be hoped that the Anti-Sla-
very people Of this section will become less
timid and take hold of the work in real car
nest, go to holding meetings without distant
speakers, study, discuss, and advance in tho
cause, for there are but few aborers in the
field, and they are wearing out almost as fnst
as the slaves on the plantations of the South.
How much of n collection was made at the
meeting is not known by any persons in this
Society, believe; perhaps about 35 or IA
dollars, and the greatest proportion of that
by very few individuals.
Thine in the Slaves Cause,
JAMES J. II. CLEMENT.
