Mr.. Julian.

The Cambridge Reveille complains of the position of
the Sentinel with regard to Mr. Julian, and in rather an
equivocal manner says: "We are not in favor of the
repeal of his law in relation fugitive sIaves with
out the consent Of that portion Of the American people
for whomt created, unless is clear to the ajori
ty at large that the constitutional rights Of the South
be secured to them in other ivay Then zoe are in
GrOr Of its repeal" He then goes say, that he is
as much opposed to slavery the fanatics who are
creating so much disturbance, sc.
Now the position of the Reveille would be so OBJ
ectionabe, it for the fact staring us in the
face, that in that district if in Wayne county, there
are aspirants for Congress who have endeavored to
prove that they better feesoers than Mr.. Julian,
and who expect be nominated for Congress- with an
eye to this very position they occupy We ask in view
Of the nomination Of such candidate what advantage
would it be the Democratic party support him. 1t
would be enough for us support Wing for the sake
Of the Union. The safety Of glorious Union being
object paramount all others with bet Mr..
Julian, who has few stripes Of Democracy about him,
in the shape of Democratic pledges and Union Wing,
who would stand out in bold relief in favor of the
promises of the Constitution and the peace
the last Congress, might, under the principles Of
higher law" of duty to our country be constrained
support such Wing; but if it is expected of to sup
port who claims to be better freesoiler aboi
tonst than Mr. Julian and besides this, has all the od
principles Of federal Whggcry about him, it would
certainly bo asking much Of to support such
character. 1t would be bitter pill to support fed
eral Whggery in any shape but when it is asked of us
add to this recsoism, aboltionis, any such ism
would be compelled to fall back upon the lessor evil
and that would lead to support Mr.. Julian under
such circumstances.

Judge Huntington,s Charge.

The abolition editor Of the Indiana Statesman reviews
Judge Huntngtons charge to the grand jury, publishd
in our last paper, in measured terms We publish
the following extract order to show, that the editor
approves of the recent meetings in the part Of
the State He says:
1f denunciation of the Fugitive bill as unjust and in
is legon-if resoute determination not by word act
to aid in carrying human being back to slavery be
treason, then will the Supreme Court have its hands full
in dealing with the traitors II the right, peacably to
assemble and in any and all places canvass freely the
acts of Congress- the people against their njus

this liberty boast mockery. and the sooner we have
reenactmeat Of the Sediton Law of the elder Adams
the better And yet the charge means this it is gra
tutous bravado the tocsn Of alarm sounded when there
Is no danger"
1t will be perceived, that the editor has made effort
be artfu in drawing up this paragraph. No one de-
nes the right of the people assemble and canvass
freely, the acts of Congress any other legislative
body But the meetings alnded passed resolutions
commencing open resistance of the laws of the

We would recommend Judge Huntington the next
time he cOntemPlates making charge to grand jury,
to call the Auditor of State. The Auditor in 1s4s
had squeamshness about the extension of slave
rtory, and is famous for chaste and dgned language

THE DAY-BooK ON STATE PoLIrrcs. Our sprghi-
ly little contemporary, the Dug Book well informed
as il is upon the general topics of the day, is for
all ;hst as we are sorry 10 see, suifying itself
the subject of State politics The tone of that
paper on the slavery question ID sound; and on the
policy Of adhering to the principles of good faith
toward the Sonth, ii has shown an equal degree of
good judgment and independence. So far, very
good But our contemporary ought to be informed
of several important practical facts. II ought to
know that Washington Hunt is identified with the
Seward nterest-that his election will be regarded
as a Seward victory in this State, and in the South
Statesthat il will give aid and comfort 10 the
enemies of the Union among us, and increase the
dstrust of our honesty for the future among our
Southern brethren. The election of Mr.. Hunt
does not depend upon mere armistce, or sGspen-
sion Of hostilites between the wings and abolition
lists; but upon the open alliance entered into be-
tween the Seward men and the Silver Grsys at
Syracuse and Utica. II elected, Mr.. Hunt will
be elected upon his endorsement OF Seward
and his abolition and notification doctrines.
The conservatism of the New York whig
party will be swallowed up IN ratification -
the nationality Of the New York wings will be-
come farce, and their identity with the Southern
wing party will come TO an end. A crisis is upon
u.s. We must either express our adhesion to the
Union, or take sides with the Northern nulliiiers.
And we must look, not at the personal good quail
ties Of Mr.. Hunt, but at the company which he
keeps, and the principles which he represents, the
resolutions which he approves, and the miserable
nullifers who endorse him. Let the Day Book
compare these things with its general rational end
national course on the abstract question of null-
ficaton, and il will see there is something Of in
consistency about il. All arguments against multi
ficston are worss than useless, il we endorse the
nullifers. The first important object Of young
politicians should be consistency; and the second,
never to advocate one set of principles and another
set of men at the same tme The experienced d.
plomatic editor Of the Cosrisr is siumpsd at such
an undertaking. Men and principles must 90

TIE FUGITIVE SLAVE BILL AND THE Nsxr MAY
CRAFTY 1t is generally believed that on the next
attempt TO arrest fugitive slave in this city, the
negroes intend to kick up a riot; and, in some quar-
tiers, threats Of bloodshed are made. If such an
unfortunate state of things should occur, il would
be necessary to have very efficient man as May
or and, in view of what possibly may transpire, it
woud be wen, at this time, to inquire what is the
character, for energy and devotion to the laws Of
the candidates, respectively, selected by the two
parties. The wings have put forward Ambrose G.
Kincsland, who is well known as a very amisble
oil merchant, who got rich BY his contracts with
the corporation and by building ships down east.
His extensive contracts with the corporation have,
it is true increased the taxes bat we are able to
pay high taxes, and are, moreover, accustomed to
doing go These are qualifications, however, aside
from what is necessary to make good Mayor at
this copjmciure. The wings threw Mayor Wood
hull overheard, because he displayed a want Of
energy in the Altor place riots but in selecting
Mr.. kingsand they seem 10 have fallen from
the flying pan into the fire. Now, if we turn
to The candidate of the democracy, we will ind
that he is men Of energy, courage, and influence;
ard enc who will discharge his duty in any cris,
that may arise in this city. He is the man for the
tmes. He is really sensible man, and will no
doubt make an able and efficient Mayor, and as
such we recommend him to all who wish to pre-
serve themselves from party dictaton, and who
wish to vote for the best man, no matter by what
party he is nominated.

Hon TsXEs, TIE MAYoRAtTY AND THE CoEro-
RAToa.--The present corporation end their prede-
cessors may be TENED the high tex perry, or the
high pressure PARTY, for the taxes have increased
probably enc third during their regime. within the
last two or three years. One of the causes Of this
high taxation is the number Of jobbins contracts
given to the friends Of the members, aud the waste
and extravaganza sanctioned by the Mayor and
beth branches Of the corporation. AT the coming
election we have TO elect Mayor and one.third
Of Board Of Assistants Now, from which
party are we most likely to have the most econo-
mical administration of our municipal affairs
The democrats certainly have sins enough to
answer for. There has been corruption enough
in their ranks for years past but we believe that
the candidates put forward by the wings, from Mr..
Kingtland down TO the Assistant Aldermen, are
the worst that we have yet seen. We have only
10 direct the attention Of the public to the extra
VACANT coil contracts" Of the wing candidate for
Mayor, and take them as an exponent of the
fasncal character of the present candidate Of the
party which has been in power in this city for the
last few years. The fact is, we want a change.
We have paid high taxes long enough, and the
people have been robbed long enough. 1t is now
full time for all those who have absolved them
selves from party dictation and party trsmmels to
act with caution and prudence, and select those
candidates who are least in favor of high taxes.
II tins be done, Mr.. Kingsland, who has made
half bis fortune out Of his oil contracts with the
corporation Of New York, is not the man for them

life. bat IN politics he is I" oily CANNON and
no mistake.
