THE SLAVERY AGITATION AND PUBLIC OPINION
1fthe public opinion in the United States were pro-
perly canvassed, we are satisfied that nine- tenths
of our adult population, North, South, East, and
West are in favor of an immediate and final settle
ment of the slavery agitation, the basis proposed
by the Senate, and the bills passed by that body,
and which are now before the House of Represen-
tatives awaiting their action, Notwithstanding
that this state Of public opinion cannot but be well
known to the members of the House Of Rspresen-
tatives, we see them from day to day, idling away
their time, and ndulgng in all kinds of factionsm,
without any apparent desire TO arrive at any con-
clusion, and without any intention ostensby of
doing 20. This is really too bad. We are posi-
lively beginning to lose all patience, and almost to
despair of the republic. Is there no way by which
this spirit Of faction can DO put nown, and in the
House of Representatives Is there no method by
which the members can be brought TO a sense Of
their duty We think there is; and while those
gentlemen are engaged in endeavors to defea, the
passage of those bills pubic meetings ought TO be
held in all the large cities, composed of all parties,
from which should emanate a voice that would
carry terror to the hearts of all factonists. The
House of Representatives triling with the feel
ings of the people, as well with the best interests
of the country, in their movements in reference to
the great and exciting question Of the day. Let
them be awakened to a proper sense Of their duty
and informed, in a peremp.ory and unmista keable
voice, that they hold their places, not to foment
schemes for dissolving the Union, but to carry
into effect the will of the people, who in an unior-
tunate hour selected them TO do so.

We learn from Mr. BURNS, who arrived yesterday,
that the trial Of Barnes has been postponed by the
adroitness Of his counsel, until next December

On this day, the nth Of July, 1904, As years sgo,
General ALEXANDER HAMILTON fell in duel with
Aaron Burr, formerly Vice President OF the United
States. He was Washington's Arst Secretary ofthe
Treasury. He was regarded a. the head Of the Fed
eralists in the United States. He was the one in
whom Washington reposed the greatest confidence
in the civil and military career. OF oil the American
statesmen, he displayed the most comprehensive
UNDERMINING, snu the most varIeu suIIiry. He
wrote,in conjunction with Jay and Madison, the Fed
eralist He vas born in the island Nevis, in 1857.
He was aid TO Washington in the battle OF Brandy.
wine, Germantown, Monmouth and yorktown. In
his last moments he disavowed oil Intentions Of
taking the life OF Col. Burr, and sigDiked his sbhor-
renee of the whole transaction. He said he had
SLENDER reliance On the mercy Of the Almighty,
through the merits Of the Lord Jesus Christ.' His
works in three volumes have been published.

of our National Independence, in this place, was
observed by the Sabbath Schools. The Methodist
church was q perfect jam on the occasion. Be-

celebration passed of to the Qualification Of all
present. Appropriate addresses were made by Mr.
Candee, and the Rev Messrs shinn, Gille,t. and
Young. The singing Of the children wac well con-

Such celebrations cannot be otherwise than bene-

The Gazette endeavors to create the impre ssion
that the editor Of the Hawk-Eye has been incon-
sstent in relation to the settlement Of the terrific
rial question. We have been in favor Of President
Taylors plan above all Others from the time of its
hrst promulgation,and We challenge the Gazette to
prove to the contrary. It is very evident to us, if
President Taylor's proposition had been acted upon
Immediately on the application of California for
admission into the Union, the question which is
still agitatins Congress and blocking the wheels of
legislation would have been settled, and the l-git-
mate business Of the nation would now be going
on smoothly. General Tsylor's plan is the wisest
andthe best yet proposed. It's so simple-so des
s'tute OF political machinery-that all msy under
stand its meaning and discover its benehcent re-
suits.
We are glad to see that an effort was about being
made by the House at last date to bring up Mr. Do
tvs proposition for the immediate admission OF
California. This should have been attempted LONG
ago, and II it had failed, the yeas and nays woula
have shown upon whom rested the respons Utility.

disclosures which, il they had ever become public
property, would have made New York and Phla-

sea-faring and commercial line. Another rumor
was, that John Tyler-another mysterious man,
who, by of the unfathomable freaks of fortune,
got into the Presidential chair one day-had some
