Our ancient friend, the Auditor. is in terrible i'll hu-
nor with the Convention His object seems be, to
hold them up the derson and contempt Of their constt
usnts This be very honest hat should doubt the
policy OF such wholesale abuse especially when destitute
Of truth II the Convention is composed of base and
abandoned men, ne would represent them be- the
people must have been unfortunate in their selec-
tions. He publishes an extract Of a letter which he
fully endorses that describes the Convention as fol-
lows:
Hour after hour is consumed in fun, revelry, vul-
gar anecdotes, stamping, hallooing. and that
would disgrace doggery in some swamp upon the
canal"
Now here is a sweeping charge, and one which
If made by disineresed witness, would have eff
feet But fortunately for the reputation of the Conven-
ton, the endorser Of this low calumny an impair
tal witness. His credibty goes the jury The peo-
pie will understand the malicious motives which prompts
these wholesale SANDERS The Convention composed OF
highminded honorable men, who are known the peo-
pie Of Indiana. Their positions too high to be
reached by the puny Of such a Auditor Ellis;
and his efforts make popularity with the people, by
abusing their Representatives, will be failure signal
was his attempt to bully them into decision in his
favor on the printing question.

speech, from the Wabash Express. We reoiced at
tho firm and noble position taken by him in defence of
the Fugitive Slave Law. We are rejoiccd 10 sec his
views endorsed by the leading Wing papers of his dis
trict We mean Just what say. We sustain Mr.
MGaughey without regard to his politics, especially
he says he is determined stand by the Compro
mise Measures, without alteration or change. The al.
ason to Mr.. M'Donalds course, is the editors own and
not Mr.. MGaughey's II is uncallcd for il is I'M
kind Mr.. M'Donald approved, voted for the BILL and
snstans its principles. The objections here spoken Of
Of the Details which he thought defective
and not any principle in the bill. Time may show
It's defects When il does let it be amended For the
present desire T. il and all the other Compromise
Measures stand a whole. We would not alter a let
ter We commend this article TO our Wing brethren
upon the Fugitive Slave Bill, Mr.. MGauehey's ar
guments were manly and MISUNDERSTANDING square,
y up TO the measure upon its intrinsic merits indie
pendent OF any considerations Of compromise. There
was no 4" craw-fishng" has been exhibited by Mr.
MDonald, the member from the district Just above US
The speaker read portion of the Constitution of the
United States and planted himself firmly upon that plat
orm-to sink with IT, abide with IL until its opponents
shall crush it, or shall triumphanty override all oppo
stion. He showed that the bill not as severe as
legislation upon the subject under which
we have lived without murmurs for many years past
la passing lac took merited notice Of the Western Chris
an Advocate, whose editor had written and published
an erroneous and mischeyous article upon this BILL and
which, if left alone, was calculated to do much harm
among the people
Mr. MGaughey did not vote for all of the measures
embraced in the Compromise Bills but think he gave
a fair and satisfactory for the he opposed
But though he did for all he says he is noc for

We transfer to columns this production with great
pleasure. II Is the language Of independent and up.

Coz. Roane,s nIessage.

We have read, with much interest the message of
Gov Roane Of Arkansas. Il is strongly Southern in its
sentiment, and much opposed to the compromise
ures which he thinks the interest Of the South has
been sacrificed, but does urge their adoption
sufficient of disunon. The spirit Of the message
is very bad He manifests no confidence, whatever in
the people OF the free States in the of the
Federal Legislature since the North have obtained the
ascendancy in both branches Of Congress He howev-
or, recommends submission long the compromise
measures are carried ont in good faith We give the
following extract, which, we have doubt speaks the
sentiment Of the people Of that State:
sThe Fugitive Slave Bill-one Of thu series Of
passed by the last Congress- and the only in
which the rights Of the South were regarded,is meet
ing with warm and determined opposition at the North
An effort viii be made to procure its repeal Should II
prove successful the South longer with honor to
herself maintain her present relations with the North
The repeal OF this act is undsgused declaration o
the feelings of the North and he mailman who
longer hook for ustce observance Of rights at
their hands The repeal OF this act should be made to
terminate the contests and adopted the only
remedy for the evil"
