boon personally convicted to have been guilty"
This was the original proposition, and it went
far beyond the subsequent ordinance of 1851
Mr.. Jefferson, with the mos enlightened men of
the day, designed to confne slavery within he
old thirteen States-Kentucky then being part
of Virginia. They intended that all the uew
States, formed on territory coded from the old
States, from Florida and Mississippi to the Ca.
madam frontier, should be free States.
They anticipated there would be ten ofthem.
and Mr.. Jetfersons ordinance was framed &C
cordingly. 1t was not limited to the north wes-
tern Territory, which wus all that had been ced
ed in 1884; but embraced the whole western
territory, coded and to be ceded." Had It
beer adopted, Tennessee, Alabama and Mlssis-
sippi would have been free States. Although
the vote in the Continental Congress was l6 TO
in favor of it, it was struck out, as the vote
was by States, and was majority of l3--the
vote Of New Jersey being excluded as she had
only ne member in attendance who voted for
it. Thus wDs Mr.. Jetterson's proviso struck
out on the 10Th of April, 1884 In 1887, when
he was our Minister in France, this prohibiuon

Vermont Whiggery in trouble at
Washington

The Washington correspondent of the Boston
Times, ina letter from the capitol, under date
of Dec. Sth, thus speaks Of the Governor and
Legislature ofVt. for passing the late act in re-
lation to fu! live slaves:
The movement has surprised and disguised
every body. Both the Legislature and the Gov
ernor have disgraced themselves. The Fugitive
Slave Bill certainly imposed no hardship on
Vermont. | doubt whether fugitive slave
case ever occurred in Vermont; it is certainly
not likely that any will occur within the next
ten years. The late act of Vermont Legisla-
ture, therefore, Is mere wanton outrage on the
feelings OF our Southers bretheren. Just at time
too, wnen they are sufficiently irrituled, and re.
quire rather soothing medicines to keep them
from extreme measures. The act of the Legis
lature OF Vermont is clearly unconstitutional aud
has been freely pronounced so by the delegates
of the State here in Congress- Even Senator
Upham is regIetting It's passage as an act of
folly, while Senator Phelps, whose law learning
is not interior to that Of any man here in WASH
lngton, denounces it in the most unqualified
terms, as the offspring Of ignorance, stupidity
and denagoglsm. Lei me tell you, tout en- pas
SAINT, that Judge Phelps Is head and shoulder
tdIleT lIidH any HlaH tHdt exquisite ltlle oIhle
has ever sent here. He seems to have over
lowered the beardles petdoggers ofthe Vermont
Legislature so much that they lost sight of him.
1t seems as if Northern whiggery took especial
delight to carp at every man who is morally and
intellectually beyond their reach. Nice boys,
those Green Mountain boys!
Whit will our Vermont wings say to all this
We make no comments but our ireesol read
ers, we think, will make several.
Since the above was put in type, we see that
the Republic (Fillnores orgon,) the Union al
Washington, the Albany Argus, Boston Courier
and other leading Hunker papers, are all out ir
full blast against whig Vermont, and the emf
nent jurst now at its head who, we take 1t, viii

have occasion to say or publish more on the sub
iect next week.

Democratic Resolves.

We published few weeks since the tru'
Iy democratic resolves, passed by the dem
ocaratic convention of the Cd district, where
in the spirit OF freedom, which dwells in the
hearts Of all true democrats burst forth so
nobly, in spite Of the incrnstations with
which the slavery influences have sought to
bind The democratic party, by the corrupt
Ing power of the federal patronage. The
following resolutions, which were passed at
the democratic convention ut the sixth dis
trIct, breathe the same spirit, and give adj
dltional evidence, thank God, that 10 party
organization, or no prufered brides of pres
ent or prospective public plumber, can s,ide
the spirit of liberty in the hearts of men
worthy Of the name Of democrats, or bind
them to subserviency to the dictates of sIa-
very.
RcsotUed That the provision of the con.
stlIutlon for the surrender of fugitive slaves
does not require fugitive to be given up
until the claim upon him has been submit
ted to an impartial jury; and the law for
the surrender of fuglllves, recently enacted
bv Congress, is open to an abuse that CALI
not be securely guarded against except by
such trial. and that we therefore strongly
urge such action by Congress, at the pari-
est possible day, as will remove this nsur-
monntable objection
Resoivtd, That the protestations of he
wings against The questionable details Of
the fugitive slave law would sound better i
they could point to a vote of the wing rep
resenatlve from this district recorded a

trine that the voters of Massachusetts are in
competent to elect their sherlffs, Judges {
Propate, and Justices of the peace, ahG W
are IN favor Of electlng these officers bv tn
people.
ResOtved. That the late act of Massachu
sets Legislature in reference to Trial Jus
tees, IN It's operation is partial inconvt

Pany debts of last year, and keep along with

we have hoped, and still trust, that our subscri
bers, at least such as have any desire to let a
Freesol paper live, as well as the other political
papers, which do more advertising with less CON-
plant, would willingly submit to an occasional
infringement of this kind. But we do not intend
to occupy any more than fair space in this way.

The New Union Party--Its Objects
and Tests.

When new party is formed, it is usual FOR its
founders to proclaim its objects, and the princi
pies which are to serve as a test of membership,
After reading, in the bunker papers all the &C
counts of this new party movement, and wading
through column after column OF speeches and
resolutions, which may be supposed to exhibit
all its objects and principles, we have been able
to perceive but one object. and one test princi
ple:-That object Is the sustaining Of the slave
power in Its late bold attempt to mould our gov
eminent to its purposes, and that test, the entire
cessation OF all agitation on the su bject OF sIa-
very, or in other words, the Reputation of the
right of free discussion, and the adoption Of the
gag law. Such objects may have been tempo
rarity entertained by party combinations, per-
haps, his country before, but such test prin-
eipe never, since the American Republic had ex-
istence Let the reputation OF the rlghl Office
discussion once prevail let this key stone OF our
beautiful editice of freedom once be withdrawn,
and who does not see that the whole fabric must
soon tumble into irremedlabe ruins And yet
we see hundreds OF the most noted leaders Of
both the old political pa ties combining together
to build up a party whose moving principle, in
all its tendencies and operations, can involve
nothing less than the destruction OF this sacred
right so long and justly cherished as the very
sheet anchor of all our free Institutions. Surely
the times must be sadly out Of joint when such
movements can even be- attempted wit out con-
signing its movers to political Infamy. Why
do they not at once 90 for the establishment Of
censorship of the press, for Prescribing the free
use of syeech, and In short, for merging our gov
eminent into an Austrian dcspotlsm? If it be
said that slavery is the only subject on which
discussion is to be prohibited, tn" unanswerabIe
question arises, who can prescribe what shall
and what shall not be discussed, without an al
most equal Infringement ofthe right IN question
And were it not SO, who, in case the preceden
of prohibiting discussion on one subject be es
tabllshed, who is to guaranty that the discuss
ion of any other subject will not, IN turn, tal
under the same prohibition? Such things ar
enough to starte every American freeman, an,
cause him to open his eyes to see what is gon
on around him. lfslavery is at the bottom Oft
