upon the all-absorbing topic ofthe unhap-

and South. and each one, of course. had
something TO say in favor of his own
State. One of the gentlemen remarked

We shall study to circumscribe Slavery
where il now exists. We shall oppose every
party that secretly or openly connives at il.
We shall he hostile to every met sure which
consults its interests. We shall not cease to
stand upon the brink of this dismal abyss,
and over against its smoke and walls to
pray with agonizing earnestness, "fiow
long, o Lord, how long?" A day will come
i'm Gods councils it is already seen adj
vancing-when men will look back upon
this system as we now look at the dungeons
aud tribunals of the Inquisition. In that
day, many man will deny his parentage,
and forswear the ancestors who either forged
letters for tho slave, or more meanly blew
the bellows for those who wrought at the
anvil of oppression. May my children to
the latest generation, in looking back to my
example, take courage, and strike home for
liberty and humanity
With these views, no soothsayer is needed
to interpret our views of the extension of
slavery. Every man consents to it who does
not exhaust his strength in eDdeayoring to
prevent il.
Nor do we misunderstood the cunning cry
of those who ask us to leave the issues of
this question in new territories TO chance
Nowadays chance has too many wires and
wirc-workers to suit our idea of luck
Chance is the merest gambler. The dice
is loaded. The cards are marked. Only
the victim dreams that there is fair play
The South is to deal, the North is TO take
what cards are firted to its hand. Who
doubts the issue? How many more games
than those already played are needed before
the dupe shall suspect foul play? No: by
as much as Liberty is dearer to us than
Slavery, by so much should we be more ac-
live in its BEHALF than its adversaries are in
behalf of Slavery. II they can toll night
and day, dig deep trenches, bear burdens

The towers of Oppression, shall we have no

Slavery, then aud there must he double |

True Freedom: A Sonnet.

Oh! what is freedoms Say, is that man free
Who wears no shackles on his outward frame
And, knows no lord his weary toll to claim,
Or force obeisance on the bcnded knee;
Who yet is bound with bosom slavery,
And dares not in the lace Of men to name
His thoughts and feelings lest they bring him
shame;
Call him not .frcel It's hollow lnockcry!
Let him the name of freeman only wear
Who hcralds forth the truth with curblcss
tongue;
Who stands erect his fellow men among,
And scorns the towards nbject name to bear
His name with that of heroes shall be sung,
And he, their equal, will their glory share

Putting il Home.

Among the boldcst of the Frcesoil nem-
bers of Congress is Mr.. Root of Ohio,
whose powers of wit and sarcasm make him
the terror alike of the chivalry and the
doughfaces. In his recent speech lie thus
apprises the South of the prcdicament in
which she would be placed by an attempt
TO execute her threats:
Dissolve the Union! How will it work
Suppose you do meet in Convention and
resolve that the Union is dissolved, will that
absolve the President from his official oath
Will he not stand there still clothed with the
authority, armed with the power to execute
the laws of the land? And would they not
be executed? Well, they would. There is
no doubt about it. 1t would he right in his
line of business. And let me suggest to
you another thing that would follow as an
inevitable consequence, the star-spangled
banner, the spread eagle, and so forth, with
flies and drums, and all that sort of thing,
would be paraded through your States.-
Let me suggest one thing more, as a mere
matter ofopinion ofcourse, that you had bet
ter have 4 Frederick Douglass on every plan
tation of the South, lecturing upon the God
given rights of man, than to have this kind of
military fuss and parade among you. II
wouldn't be favorable to your peculiar in
stitution. Laughter.] 1t would go great
way to enlighten your slaves of the real, not
market, value of weak hands and strong
arms the very material for mobs and insur-
rections. And if there is any institution ON
the face of the earth-not excepting the
despotism of Russia-that should be con-
servative-that should scorn anything like
civil war, insurrection, or mob violence; that
should avoid everything which goes to teach
inen with arms that they can, if they only
make the right kind of an issue, overcome
men with brains; it is your institution of
slavery. And it may be, or rather might be,
II we were now to have the will of the ma
jority of the people of this country carried
out, and you were to remain in your present
frame of mind, that you would rush upon
crisis that would make il necessary for you
TO speedily execute in part what il evidently
the decree of God, the determination of sla-
very throughout the world. You might
bring on a state of things which would
make il necessary TO bring about, so far as
this country is concerned, this result by
your own means; aye, you might arouse
into action the war power-which is almost
unlimited by the Constitution-the war pow
er-the military despotism, that would use |
your slaves just as il would fuel or fodder, |
10 promote its own success. When oppo- |
sing armies should be marching and counter |
marching through your land, do you suppose |
that you could keep all your slaves quiet?-
Would they be likely to remain neutral in a
civil war?

L. Butler KING.-Thos. Butler King, in
letter to the editors of The .National intel
hgencer, says he received no instructions from
the President, or any member of the Cabi-
net, on the subject of slavery, or any other
subject. lie says :-"I was prepared to ex-
pect that the objects of my mission would be
perverted at the North; and find accord
ingly that during the last fall elections, in that
quarter, l was there represented as a South
ern STAKEHOLDER sent to California to indoc-

The NASHVILLE CoNvENTIoN.-Bu little
sympathy is given to the gathering of the
Nulifiers at Nashville, in June, among the
people of Louisiana. The Committee on
Federal Relations in the House of Represen-
tatives have reported against sending dele
gates TO such reasonable gathering. The
NJ o. Bulletin says the strong men of both
political parties are opposed to the scheme.
Every day demonstrates the powerlessness
of Calhoun's dsunion phantases in the
Southwest. First, Missouri bolts, followed
in quick succession by Texas and Tennessee.
In Arkansas no formidable demonstration has
yet been made for Southern Republic, in
case Slavery is not extended. Nowhere out
of South Carolina and Georgia is there any
unanimity for disupion.

will find one of the most scathing rebukes
upon this man that ever was uttered by any
one upon the floor of Congress; so that Free
SOilers are not the only men who denounce
Winthrop. His servile course is the theme
Of rebuke among Northern Wings, and could
they have their work to do over again, the

him below the respect of all true ffeemen.
In his virulent assaults upon the Free
Soilers, the Southern members and dough-
faces cheered him most Justify; and when
he attempted to thrust his malicious dagger
through Northern tfeemen at the Proviso,
the disunionists, shareholders, slave breeders,
and their Northern tools, with old Richie at
their head, all clapped their hands in triumph,
