BOSTON, Sunday, Oct s, 1880.
Ihave been touring a few days in tue interior OF
New England, and you don't know no" much
have bean gratGed with the " cord and her-
mony, the satisfaction and tranquility that every
vbere reiens, since Congress adjusted the
Slavery question.
To be sure it s quite true that the striped mem
bers of the Syracuse Convention obstinetely re-
fused to assert that Congress had settled the
Slavery questions to the satisfaction of everybody
in general, and the Wings OF New York 10 par
ticulEr; and in defiance of the Wing seu1ioiioial
Journal at w akhingtop, and OF every grave, ease-
owing aldermanic, and conservative member OF
he Wing party, and of every oflice-loving patriot
Of the Loco Foco party, declared in effect that the
Slavery que stion was not settled, and that W n.
H. Seward in opposing the adjustment through
thick and thin, in the whole, aud in detail, and in
declaring shat thu settlement was no settlement,
and the adius ment no adjustment spoke their
sentiments exactly
But of course the action OF the NewYork State
Convention goes for nothing against the fact that
the Slavery questions are fully and finally settled,
and that the 100 guns fired in NewYork and thu
loO fired in this city, and various other explosions
Of powder elsewhere, have establiGhcd thu fact
beyond controversy.
1t ia likewise true that the Wing State Con
yeption of Massachusetss held few days ago
atrapgely omitted to declare that the Slavery ques
tions were settled, and to pass any vote OF thanks
to Mr. Webster for helping to settle them, and
thus aiding in the restoration Of tranquility to the
country And more extraordinary still, no &C
Involvement was made of the fact thatthe difficult
subject Of fugitive slaves had been happily I'D.
justed, and terminated to the joy and delight OF all
The Convention did not even make mention OF the
great speech OF Mr.. Webster, delivered on the 9TH
of March, which did 30 much toward =" concession,
conciiation, compromise, and the settlement, of
the famous votes in the time Of trial in CoDgteas
given By distinguished Free.Soil Wing of New.
England, now known by the name Of Letthe.
Univers e.dssolve Wilson.
Yet it is beyond all manner Of doubt that the
people Of Massachusetts conaider the Slavery queS
ton settled and are delighted with the Fugitive
Slave Lag, and the great speech OF MIR. Webster,
and the great votes of Gen. DlRuolye.t the Union
Wilaon.
We must also admit that the people of Spring
geld, in Massachusetts, whore many black fqglsives
,esde, have manifested great feeling and unpsu1l
excitement against the Fugitive Slave Law; and
that this feeling and excitement appear to be large
ly shared in all this Commonwealth. We saw, for
example, in the city Of Worcester, day or two
oince, most iDAammatory notice for public meet
ing to denounoe this law. The notice embodied
tho following quotation, which waa declared to be
the language Of "JEHovAR' " Thou shalt not de-
hver unto has master the servant soho has escaped
from his master anto thes'
Yet man is fool who doubts that 81 kbe qnei
lions that 40 lately agitated Congress- snd the
country are tetlled and that the Washington
Union and Mr. Foote Mr. Webster, and Francis
j. Grund, the Representative Of Boston and the
Neo. Jo,k Hpald deserve tbs paudits Of the
world fer their efforts in restoring psace and tran
guilty 10 the county, and forever qQietog sgita
zion on the Slavery question.
Aesin: We shall not undertake 70 diqgQise the
'act tbst very enthusiastic meetings have bsen
held in this city, and that haze heard Of such IN
! Ee~Yo1k City, where the most violent language
had been used against the lie . Slave Law, sna'

cspnot do otherwise than admit thst in one OF the
meat Conservative pulpits Of this ciEy there va
heard Yesterday, from this lips Of she highly elo
qosnt and distinguished pastor of tbs ohafca, the

Ystit is perfectly well understood that toe 8lev.
