We give the following notice of d
speech made by Mr.. Charles Sumner, a
commissioner Of the United States Court
in Boston, 10 an abolition mongrel meet
ing, in which he expressed some opinions
that would indicate the necessity of put
ting the said commissioner in straight
Jacket. We are indebted to the Boston
Herald for this precious confession OF
faith. Fred. Douglass, Phillips, Thomp-
son, on. p, and the rest of them, were
present and seemed much edited and de-
lighted:
During his harangue, Mr.. Sumner
held in his hand printed copy of The fu-
gitive-slave law, bordered with big
black mark; and the way he shook and
tore the document was satisfactory to pa
per-makes. He mentioned that he was
himself a United States commissioner
but at the same time lie could not forget
that he was also a man. He would MOI
assist in returning fugitive slave--oh no!
He counseed no violence, but invoked
public opinion TO annul the law. lie
wanted it TO 60 forth TO the world that nc
slave-hunter could find rest on the soil Of
Massachusetts, and that this law coulc
find no servants. the slave hunter (sait

CHRISTIAN FRIENDsHIP.-Friendship
is necessary to our happiness here; and
built upon Christian principles, upon
which only it can stand, is a thing even
of religious sanction for what is that
love which the Holy Spirit, speaking by
St. John, S, much inculcates, but friend
ship the only love which deserves the
name love which can toll, and watch,
and deny itself, and go to death for lis
brother. Worldly friendships are poor
weed compared with this; and even this
union of spirit, in the bond of peace,
would suffer, in my mind at least, could |
think il were only coeval with our earthly
mansions. C0Wper.

Jefferson County, Va.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1850.
Congress.

The approaching session of Congress
is looked TO with more than usual interest
by the people of the United States. The
deliberations of our National Legislature,
always important in view Of the mighty
interests affected by them for veal or for
woe, will be of especial moment during
the coming winter. We believe there
has been no period in the history of the
country so critical. Dark and portentous
clouds overhang the political horizon; a
spirit of characterization and resistance to
the solemn laws Of the land is now in full
life and vigour upon our northern borders;
the doctrine Of Disunion and Secession,
but shcrt time back, grating to the ear
and revolving TO the feelings Of the patriot
is now openly advocated by thousands and
tens of thousands in the South, on account
of the aggressions of the North. Non-in-
tercourse is not only recommended, but TO
a very great extent carried out by the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS between commu-
mites heretofore known as sister states. 1t
is needless for us TO point out the inevitable
result ofsuch state of things. II not soon
arrested, the speck in the heavens will
ere long become the storm cloud, black
with its pent-up fury, and ready 10 pour
its wrath DER devoted land. The les
sons Of human nature, the teachings of
history tell us plainly what will be the
result. We will have wars Of rival states,
perhaps Of Kingdoms or principalities, for
who can say that many of those most
cIamorous for disunion arc not now look
ing forward to their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
hoping that amid the throes Of Revolu-
ton, and the general confusion, they may
find themselves floating upon the surface;
occu plying out Of the Union a position
theymight nvain haveattempted 10 reachin
the Union All the horrors of civil war
fare will be before us, brothers hand dyed
in brothers blood, the tender relations Of
life shocked and outraged. Such must
be the result; 10 deny it is TO falsiGy
history and TO change the very nature Of
the human heart.
In view then of such considerations
does it not bchooye our Representatives TO
approach the questions which will be
presented TO them, with spirit of patriot
ism commensurate with their future bear
ing upon the welfare Of the country. Let
them remember that they owe it to our
past renown; to the Revolutionary asso-
Citations which cluster around our early
history 10 the demands of the present
generation; and to- the cause of human
freedom in all time to come, that they
shall deliberate with prudence and WIS
dom. Let them invoke the spirits Of the
departed patriots who gave US the bless
ings we enjoy, TO descend in their midst
and guide their counsels 10 happy con-
summation.

New USE OF ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHs.-
The Telegraph gives notice Of storms.
For example, the telegraph at Chicago
and Toledo now gives notice 10 shipmas-
tiers at Cleveland and Buffalo, and also
on Lake Ontario, of the approach of a
Northwest storm. The result is prac-
tically Of great importance. A hurricane
storm traverses the atmosphere at about
the rate OF carrier pigeon, namely, sixty
miles an hour. A vessel in the port OF
New York, about to sail for New Or
leans, may be telegraphed twenty-four
hours in advance, that a southwest storm
is advancing on the coast from the Gull
ofMexico. We are only on the TIRES
hold OF the real substantial advantages
which may be rendered by the electro
telegraph.
