He is determined to enforce the Fugitive Slave

this purpose. In this he will be sustained by the
voice OF the whole country-save and except the
disloyal and reckless piotters OF mischief to the
Union, who, with professions of philanthropy and
christianity on their lips, but, as Benton says,
sshell in their hearts, have avowed their intention
to resist the execution of this law, at all times and
under all circumstances These nulliiers of the
North aided and cheered on BY abolitioniSts in
Congress, will not be pleased with the patriotic
course of the President, butthei opposition will
be unavailing.

places himself in opposition to the union-who
countenances, in any shape, its dissolution-who
believes III the right Of Secession in the South, or
Notification in the North no man who does not
love the Union, and is willing TO fight for it, ought

Who thinks ms we DO ,

To corroborate what we have said in another ar
hcle in relation TO the doom Of Slavery, we quote
from Mr. Clay's late speech ard the Gazette Of yes
terday. The only difference between our views
and those of MIR Clay is 10 respect 10 time.
Mr. Clay says
"Apprehensions have been entertained and ex-
pressed as to the want, in future time Of terrific
rial scope for the slave population. Ibeiieve that
at very distant day, moi likely to occur in the
present or the next century, whenever the va Il IN
occupied, wastes In Mississippi, Arkansas, Louis
lana, Alabama, Florica, amt Texas shall become
fully peopled, slavery will have reached ITS natural
termination. Abe density OF population in the
United Stales will then be great that there will
be such reduction IN the price and value Of labor
as to render it much cheaper to employ free than
slave labor, and slaves becoming bu to the r
owners, will be voluntarily disposed of and allow
ed to go free"
The Gazette says:--
s.That the further progress of slavery is nor e.
feetuaHy stayed by the hand of nature rather than
that OF man. and that the power OF the genera gov
ernment can never be exerted as a pIopagator OF
that peculiar institutions self evident fact hC h
must force itself upon the consideration Of every
Southern as well as Northern man."
We think the Nashville Convention has done
more to kill Slavery stone Dead than all other
SEES combined.

RESURRECTION CHINA.--The province OF
Kwangsi is at present the theatre of serious out
break, but whether on the part of the unsubdued
tribes OF the bandii who infest its borders, Is
not very clearly aSCertaIned. There Is no doubt,
however, that large body of men is in actual re-
bellon against the imperial authorities, over whom
they have obtained some important dvantageS -
Recently they have taken the chief city Of the Ho
district, place Of great commercial importance,
bordering on the province Of kwang-tun on the
Northwest, the city being situated ON navigable
branch of the Canton river. II is even stated on
good authority that the rebels, 1900 strong have
penetrated into kwang-tung, and are within one
hundred miles Of Canton river.
The leader, who is named Lit-ting-pang. has as
sumed the title borne by the highest Tartar Gener
ais, and displays banners inscribed, '.Commiss sion

command Sc. 900 men in all. which is probably no
exaggeration. He and his fellow chief, Tsau

Kong mum. in the district Of 81 hwu1, the pawn
shops were iited. and 10000 tacls ofsilyer exolt

cook shops were set up to provide food for the
band. 1t further reported,b ides some persons
OF importance have fallen i'll the fight, that the Gov
ernor of the province, and the chief magistrate Of
Woo chau, have committed suicide in despair, but
these reports also require confirmation. The prov

never owned subsection 10 the present dynasty.

WILLARD FILLMORE.

The Presidential mantle Of the lamented Gen.
TAvlon could not have fallen on more worthy OF
eonpeeent gentleman than the one who now occo'
pSee ~ Presidential mansion. The peace and qui-
etness q the nation required, at the very moment
oAas nastls fell upon him, just such man. What
ever nay have been his private views; he perform
e yAs duties required Of him by the Constitution
without ALTERING or equiyocation. A man-like
rs,o,s,;oa and statesnan's foresight were mani
6sss n such performance. Both the ultras Of the
South and North blame him for signing the bills
snhssoed In the compromise measures OF the late
eessSoa Of Congress. Had he vetoed or refused
HE stenasuss to either, storm would have ragged
sAsoaghout the country more dark and lowering,
sAaa aay that has yet threatened our destruction
Cen. rAvLon, had he lived, would have taken the
saDs course.
Abolitionists would have thrown al the respon-
sfbtlity on him Of defeating the Fugitive Slave Law
asd the Texas Boundary Bill. The constitution
required no such thing. II he had done SO, he
would have run counter to one Of the cardinal and
most admired principles that had been avowed in
Oh the letters and messages OF Gen. Taylor On the
representatives Of the people. and not on the Pres
iaent, rests the responsibility of measures passed
By that hody, unless they are evidently unconstitu-
siosal Or passed in hot haste and without suitable
seection. Neither Of those alternatives presented
ttselI and President FILLMORE fulfilled the
expectations Of his party BY his action. The South
would have had him veto the California and Terri
sorial bills. While he has thus displeased the ex
tremists ofboth parties, think that, in view of
he crisis, he has adopted q wise, consistent, and
patriotic course, and which fully entities him
. the continued support and confidence ola free
psople.
The great questions which Congress aimed to

II we dld hr JOHNSON Person injustice by at
ibuting to him the authorship OF that abusive ar
dcle signed GA Whig,'' it was his own fault. He
called at the office OF the Hawk-Eye on the morn
ing OF last Monday week and asked if our columns
were full. We replied in the negative. lie then
said he had communication for the paper, and
that it would occupy column and half. We sug-
gesed that that was too longbut if he would bring
1t in and permit US to examine it, we would then
judge as to its possessing suticien! merit for pub
hcat,on. He then said that it was in answer to
"Justin." We felt the more anxious to see it, as
we wished to open our columns, pro and con, on
the subject, and requested him to bring it in. In
the evening our partner saw him at the Post office
ana asked him the reason for his not bringing in
ms article. He replied that we were rather
"gruhy'' about it, and he had handed it in to the
Telegraph in which it would appear next morning,
ana mat ne still had another article on the same
SUBJECT which the Hawk Eye could have. We are
s'ao ne refuses to own the authorship Of that ar
ucie' ou' no editor could have been less positive
that he 'oas the author than We were under the cir

drawn any other inference.

Taxing the IIawk-Eyes md Suckers.

We presume that over a million Of dollars worth
ofproduce is shipped annually to St Louis, from
Iowa. According to law of Missouri the mer-
chants in st Louis, receiving such produce. are re.
quired to pay twenty cents on every hundred dol
lars worth thus received. When gentleman in
the Rapids Convention from Illinois. mentioned
this last summer, would believe it could he
fact, bat they soon after fouEd out that it was so.
Every one must see that the receiving merchant,
to save himself and compete with those who deal
in untared Missouri produce the same kind, must
put this tax on the price of the produce and thus
make it fall the produce in Iowa. Until the Mis-
souri, Legislature repeats this law until Iowa can
get communication by railroad to the lakes, our
producers must thus suffer. Illinois suffers in the
same way. These two states have very incentive
TO lead them to construct railroad from the Mis-
sissippi to the lakes. The st Louis Intelhgencer
is now engaged in pointing out the unconstitution.
ality and absurdity of this law. We have before
pointed out how we think it conflicts With the Con-
stitution Of the United States.

LAND WARRANTS VS.. LAND Substituting the
whole term set apart for the land sales at Fairfield
last month, not single bidder appeared. All the
entries are now made with Land Warrants. Some
OF the spectators find difficulty in getting rid
Of their warrants. They do it in this way: They
enter quarter section for a farmer with one OF
their warrants, and then give him a bond for a
deed; the deed to be executed in one year from
date, on the payment of two hundred dollars in
cash. The farmer feels satisfied, because he gets
ayear's credit, and pays no more for his land at
the end Of that time than the government asks for
it. The Spectator is satisfied because he make.
sixty or seventy per cent, by the transaction; and
nobody seems dissatisfied but the Land Officers,
who have to do ten times more work and receive
less than 1.-THE of the pay than was formerly re-
ceived before Land Warrants became legal tender
in the purchase of land.
