difficult TO describe his speech, were It neccssa-
ment with as much zeal as If somebody had at
tackled it, or as II dissolution of the American
Union would bo the utter annihilation OF all go
vcrnment. He seid the Liberty Party believed
government important for other purposes than
the overthrow of Slavery, and therefore the par
ty sustained it. He told us he needed the gov
crnmcnt to keep his wife from running of with
other men, and him from strayins after other
women. He said he was very nervous, and
must not therefore be interrupted with qucs-
tions rs other speakers had been advertised in
glowing colors tho virtues of Watcr-Curc told
us how long he had been in it, how many Cn-
sis Boils he then and there had on his legs, AMI
communicated a great amount of other informa-
ton OF similar rclcvance and importance. He
was loudly called for by Liberty Party, Gcrrit
Smith among the rest but ii his friends passed
any vote of thanks for the speech, it was when
my attention was called in some other direction.
After Jackson, S. $. Foster made what seem
cd to inc very ludicrous proposal, that some
terms OF agreement be devised between the Lib
erty Party and the Aboltionists of the country,
as arranged in the American Anti-Slavcry So
ciety. He seemed certain that some plan could
succeed, and went so far as to propose one for
consideration. Tho favor il met with, however,
satisfied him, and with him the last OF us, that
it was a vain hope. lie found the party "join-
cd to its IDOLS" and will now, l hope, "let it
alone" so far as any union with it is ever agaii
to be dreamed Of
At ten minutes before midnight We adjourn
cd to meet at nine o'clock next morning.
We hud now held meeting three days, until
almost midnight each day, and had only dis
cusscd ono subject and that the least inpor-
tant that could como before us-thc Constitu-
tionality of Slavery-so that was very willing
to vote for another day though my engage
ments at Boston made it impossible for inc to
remain. Much valuable truth was uttered, but
still the meeting might have been better. The
official proceedings you will see soon. have
written too long, but you must excuse mo this
time. The Buglc is not large enough to con-
tain half that might be written.

THE lCI,,,.e,,, E,.c,I,,.,o,,y


The excitement at the Capitol upon the
slavery question, among the Southern mem
bers, is increasing at fearful rate. And it
is very remarkable that the excitement is all
oil their side: Wings & Democrats from the
Tree Suites remain, as TO all outward appear
ances, as cool as water melons. l passed
portion OF last evening where discussion
upon this subject was III progress between u
number OF members oil both Houses, belong
ing 10 both parties, and both divisions OF the
Union, and from the terms in which the
Southern men expressed themselves, il was
evident that they sympathized, if not 10 the
fullest extent, IN 40 mconsiderabe degree,
with the spirit of Clingmal's most extlJor-
dlnary speech of yesterday. In particular,
they avowed that the project of opposing all
appropriations, until their demands, us re-
glrds the questions at issue between the
North aud South shall have been compiled
with, had been deliberately adopted by n
sufficient number 10 carry it OUT. That a
serious demonstration will be made 10 ei-
feet this object is now almost certain, and
II IL OF character 10 excite the deepest
alarm. Its advocates indeed admit that il
will most likely lead 10 scenes OF personal
violence upon the floor, that may have ia
tai termination. This they say they are
prepared for, aud it il occur, it was the cold
blooded declaration OF CiiDgman, and ech-
oed IN my hearing by some Ol his honorable
associates on the other side OF the House,
not quorum would survive for the transac-
ton OF business! What meaning has this
language, If II he not threat that il disturb
ed IA their scheme OF breaking up the House,
or OF co;rcing tho lnajority into the legisla-
uon they demand, they will strew the floor
with tie corpses Oi those who resist them?
But hope and trust that the great ulajori-
ty OF the Southern members disapprove OF
the spirit oil Mr. Clingrian's speech. hear
y stated to-day that very few indeed can be
found TO subscribe for copies for circulation
among their constituents, compliment
which all OF them would no doubt be glad
10 pny hm, could they consent to appear to
endorse, even by implication, the sentiments
contained in il. JuSIus.

ANOTHER FLUNKEY.-The Editor of tho
United States Law Magazine, John Livings-
ton,) recently put forth an address to his
patrons. In the copies sent TO the South tho
following paragraph was inserted;
:" 1t may perhaps, be as well here to state,
that we must decline publishing any article
discussing the subject OF Slavery. While
the constitutional rights OF the South appear
too pldin TO require demonstration, we hold
tlr.t the exposition of an opposite doctrine
would he not only contrary TO our duty, but
a public danger and II public wrong"
IN the address for the North, this sentence
is omitted. Indeed, it was by accident only,
that the fact disclosed above was discovered!
IL not this Infamous conduct?

Things In Washington,

The letters of the Washington correspondent
of the Pittsburgh Gazette, in our paper this
week, will attract attention. That tho South,
for the purpose of compelling the assent of the
North to her wishes, has taken the position
which that writer indicates, VIC entertain no
doubt The great question now is, what will
the Northern members do; VIII they stand
firm for freedom in the Territories, or yield to q
com! ro'uise' We believe they will yield
Tho Administration has planted itself openly
upon the ground of Non-Intervcntion, and it is
announced that Mr. Clay is preparing to sub
NIT new compromise for the settlement of the
whole difficulty. The Northern Democracy has
nothing but water in its veins, and is already
rc-sold to tho South. What then has the South
to do but to continue her threats of Dissolution,
anl, through the weakness and treachery of the
North, to get all, or nearly all, she wants.

New Societies.

On the First Page will be found an ac-
count Of the organization of new Society
auxiliary to the Western Auti-SIavery Soci-
ETY.. The formation of this and a kindred
association West of the Cuyahoga is q cheer
ing indication that the Aboli,ionists in the
Counties immediately west OF us are awake
TO their responsibilities. We look to these
Societies with hope, and trust they will
prove efficient instrumeutulities for the fur
therance of the cause. We believe we are
indebted for their formation TO the original
suggestion of SAMUEL BROOKE, whose mind
is prolific in efforts and plans for the slaves
redemption.

the 10Th nit. Henry Clay occupied the chair
and made a brief address. The other speak
ers were Robert G. Scott, Esq, Rev. G. w.
Bethune, and Rev. r. n. Gurley. The old
doctrines of the Society were presented with
little variation. Ahe spirit of the Society
was well expressed by MIR. Scott, who said
They did not touch the rights of property;
that they left tn the fanatics of the NORTH
They operated only upon the free black

away from the College on account of their anti

ton has been true to the pro-slavery idea from
that day to this. It's moral influence is as hos

of any other College in the Free States 1t is
this fact, doubtless that has enabled its officers

friend has sent us copy of AN Extempo-
raneous DISCOURSE delivered in Stanford
vile, Duchess Co, N. Y, by Nicholas Hal
lock, phonographically reported and forming
a pamphlet of 10 PIP. octave. 1t is marked
by the strong common sense and fearless in-
dependence of its author, who has been cal
led to run the gauntlet of persecution in the
Society of Friends (Iiicksite) for his relig-
ious opinions and his active interest in mans
welfare. The spurious Quakerism which
prevails in the City of New York and vicin-
ity, and which glutted its malice upon Isaac
Il. Hopper and Charles Marriott, has found
in friend lIallock a troublesome customer.

his o,cn satisfaction, that it is entirely uncon-
siitutional, and that Jefferson, Dane, Marshall

After boring the Senate two days with his stu
pid mouthings, he wound up by saying that he
should resign his seat rather than obey the in
structions of tho Michigan Legislature by vo-
ting for the Proviso. lie would exhibit nicer
sense of honor and more respect for his con-
sttuents by rcsigning at once and allowing them
to fill his scat with one who would vote accor-
ding to their solemn wish. 1t is understood
that he and his friends will exert themselves to
tho utmost to induce the Legislature to rcscind
its instructions, but we don't think they will
succeed. Gen. Cass, by this speech, has put in
his bid for Southern support in 1852.

Rev. Edward Smith.

The following is the lostseril of a letter adj
dressed to the Publishing Agent oil The Buglc :

ment made in public by Mr.. Gardncr, Wcs-
leyan priest, the other day. Ii YOU can give me
the desired inlormation. should &c very ,.ai.
| MIR. q. stated, that when Mr.. Il. Smith was iii
Salem last August, he (Mr. 81 roposed 20 dis
| cuss with the Anu-Slavcry friends in Salem the
peculiar princi lies OF the Amcrcan Antl-Slave-
ry Society, but they would not, or dare not,
have any thing to do with him.
Yours. for Truth,
Thomas G. HEIoHToS.
In reply we have to say. that Mr.. Gardncr's
statement has not the slighrest foundation il
fact. Mr. Smith, TO the best Of our knowledge
and belief, did not, while in Salem, make any
proposition to discuss the differences between
himself and the friends of Disunion. He Ice
tured here in behalf of his Canada mission, but
was particularly careful, as we thought, not to
alludc, except by remote implication, to the Pc
culiar views Of Disunionists He was under
stood to be in hurry to reach the Allcghany
Conference, whore he made the assault upon us
which has since been circulated Ear and widc.-
How far his courage in making that assault de-
pended upon the consciousness that those whom
he nssailel were not present to make their de-
fence, we will not undertake to say. We have
been told however, that he tried his hand at
abusing the 'Comeoutcrs at Lecsburg, just
before his visit here, and came off second best.
We infer that he was not in the mood of trying
his hand at the same game in Salem, and only
succeeded in working his courage up to the
sticking point after he found himself no longer
in danger OF being replied to. That the Disu-
nionists were not very badly frightened by his
speech, VIC can prove by testimony which, we
think, will be entirely satisfactory to all candid
minds. Immediately after its appearance in the
Wesleyan, Samuel Brooke wrote to Rev. Luther
Lee, the Editor of that paper, offering to pay
half the expenses of an edition of 5000 copies,
provided the Disunionists could be permitted to
put their reply into the same pamphlet. The
| following III the answer to that letter:
| S. BRooKE: Yours to al. Lee" have. Z.
Smiths address is already published, and now
in tho binders hands. Your proposition comes
too late for this edition.

couraging index OF its importance, and trust

Pub. Ag't for the Wesleyan Connection,
Spruee-st., New York.
Whether it is at all likely that Mr.. Brookc's
offer would have been accepted if it had been
received before the pamphlet was put to press,
our readers can judge for themselves. We infer
from the tone of Mr.. Matlack's letter that it
would have been rejected

PARDoHeD.-Gonsalve Montesquiou, the eldest
OF the two brothers indicted at st Louis, for the
murder Of young Barnum and another person, at
the City Hotel, more than year ago, after having
undergone two trials for the offence, in which the
jury disagreed and unable to return verdict,
has been pardoned by the Governor Of Missouri
Raymond Montesquiou. the younger brother, still
remains in st Louis under bonds for his appearance
to stand his trial for the third time for the Offences
but it is claimed that he is entirely innocent of
the Charge it is expected that nolle prosequi will
be entered in the case. The elder brother, who is
believed to have been the sole perpetrator OF the
unfortunate homicides at the City Hotel, undoubt-
edly committed them in the frenzy Of madness,
which was fully shown to be hereditary in his fam
lily. After his confinement, the evidence of mad
ness became so strong, that no one having access
to the prisoner, could for moment doubt it. I'm
