agitation has turned the tables. We Nw
find the blacklist doctrine of notification the
creed Of all the abotionists, liberty men, Sc ward
men and free sellers, and of most of the religious
conventicles of the Northern States. The fact of
this element of notification exists in the declare
tons that the Fugitive Slave law is Hull and void
that it should be, and will be, resisted wth'arms;
and that the officers Of the Jaw will be shot down
like dogs if they attempt, in certain quarters, TO
discharge their duty to the constitution. Appeals
are made to the "highsa laws" of morality and
the lower laws Of treason, mutiny, and civil war,
in this resistance to the law of the land.
The hrst official party movement giving aid and
comfort to these Northern traitors to the Union,
may be found in the resolutions of the Wing Con-
vention at Syracuse, declaring w. IL. Seward
especially" entitled 10 thanks for his factious,
skulkiDg aad reasonable in the Senate, dis
grazing his State and his party, and weakening the
hands of President Fillmore, whose patriotic poll
cy should have commanded his heares. support.
This was the first movement OF any importance
In Northern notification; and the failure of Gran
ger. Duer, and the conservative wings, to expunge
these Seward resolutions from the wing platform,
and the subsequent surrender at Utica, amount to
the endorsement of Seward, and the adoption of mis-
State of New York. Next, we find Massachusetts,
and Ohio in fIrore, with notification meetings
and bloody resolutions. Gernt Smith and his
fugitives at Cazenovia, the Pennsylvania abolition
State convention, the Presbyterian church in that
State, the populace of Detroit, the authorities OF
Chicago, the fanatical gathering at Worcester the
recent proceedings in Boston, and the combinsd
"hue and cry" of an immense majority of the poll
ga and rali md oil ipal
have famed the flame till all the Nonh is in a
perfect blaze of notification. Scared up by the
general alarm, we find the fugitive slaves
by hundreds, quitting the dangerous ground
of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and the border States, and
harrying 10 the dominions of Queen Victoria,
the only refuge from aifidavs and the posse conf
tdtps. The panic has disclosed the important fact
that where only two three, or half dozen, fugi-
tive slaves were supposed to be located, hundreds
have been stirred out by this fugitive bill, sho wing
that the complaints of Southern slave of the
insuficiency of the old law for the recovery of
their slaves, were correct and true, aud that
was high time to suspend, if possible, the under
ground facilities of the abolitionists. But the
scsmpering of the fugitives has added fuel to the
flame, till notification, like a cracking fire, runs
rampant through the land.
political parsons, and fanatica teachers of divinity,
are at the bottom Of the agitation. They always
have been the bottom of the mschiefs of society,
by their intermeddng propensities, and their am
bition TO rule the State as well as the church
II appears, indeed, that some class of the
community has had to suffer from the per-
.ecu,ons of political parsons, from the dark
ages down TO the present day. When they
had the power, the Catholics burnt the hereto
Proiestants, and the Protestant,, in their turn,
roasted the heretical Catholics. And the poor
Puritans, escaping from persecution to America,
when they had Set up their tabernacle at Ply
mouth Rock, commence the same game upon the
witches and Quakers. At present, most of the
chCrches (the Catholic, TO its credit standing en-
tirely neuiraD, or rather most of the Northern po-
litica quack doctors of the churches, have joined
the persecution Of Southera shareholders. The 10
fueEce of these religious wolves in sleeps cloth
ing extends far and wide. Cooperating with al |
the reasonable and crack Drained fanatics, of all
colors and stripes, they contribute 10 stimulate the
sentiments of the abolitionists and their threats Of
nullilicaiion. Holding the balance of power be- |
tween the two great political parties in most of the
Northern States, these ,raitorous factions, thus
gained upon notification, will require all the
moral strength Of the lovers of the Union TO defeat
Their black and bloody designs.
Under such array of hostile aud reasonable
elements against the union of the States, and The
OF der Of society, it becomes the duty Of right
Minded, sober thinking men TO follow up, over the
State, and throughout the North, the Union

TIoN-THE PLANrrsLD QUESTION Among the
several candidates already brought out for the Pre-
sidency, Gen Sam Houston. of Texas. has now
the honor to be enrolled. The Vew York san
has boldly proclaimed as its candidate for
1852, Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas. Now, as
there is ought to be, in all things, what
are the reasons of this nomination, by the orgaa
Of Lopez, the hero of Cardenasl The question is
easily answered. Gen. Sam Houston is under
stood to have committed himself in favor of the
annexation Of Cuba; and is influenced no doubt,
from the great advantages derived by every body,
from the annexation of Texas, or, as Mr.. Sec
rotary Walker had il, the pronunciation Of Tex
as" Probably he may think the annex auoa of
Cuba just as easy.
But there is a wide difference between the two
cases Texas was contiguous terrory--Cuba lies
