Gen. CaSS' Testimony.

Gen. Cass, in speech recently delivered by him
at Tammany Hall, New York, made of the
following sentiments, to which We invite particular
attention
''It was useless to endeavor said he, to conceal
the fact: The South has been injured by the North.
The North has violated the institutions of the
South, has villi6ed her character. The North re-
fuses to carry the provisions of the Constitution
into effect. The North has allowed foreign mer-
cenarieS to prowl about among her Cities and
preach against the South. Great cheering. /
The North has allowed member of the British
Parliament to leave his seat abroad and openly in
our cities, advocate violence against the South
He has interfered with institutions, and hope
all he could to subvert the Union And not only
does this foreign traitor receive countenance and
encouragement here, but finds hackers at home,
where the foreign abolitioniSts say he has right
to exercise his benevolence, and preach a crusade
against oppression and human slavery. Just
verse the case. Suppose We should send one of
our orators to England to preach against the op-
preston of that unfortunate country Ireland,
great cheers what would be the result ? Why,
he would have the baiIits and soldiers of the Uni
ted Kingdom after him, and be on his way to Bot
any Bay in less than a week. Cheers. Yet
this foreign crusader is here, and praes about his
right to exercise his benevolence. Why, his be
nevolence is only equalied by his impudcnce.-
Laughter and applause
"We have now, continued Gen. Cass adopted
a compromise platform whereon all ends of the
country meet in common, and where we can
once more renew the bonds of that Union which
must and shall be inseperable. Why, what could
gain by dissolution Nothing but woe. This
Government is the worlds best, last hope, and if
this Confederation is destroyed, the genius of lib
erty will be destroyed with it. In the event of Il
dissolution, some three or four separate nationa-
ties would be formed, which would be constantly
engaged in hostilites against each other, as neigh
boring nations ever have been, and ever will be.
We must therefore come forward in our mig ght and
put down these abolitiUnists, and with them the
spirit of disunion we must be true to ourselves
and the nation. Voices We WILL we will. =
Gen. c. proceeded; He was glad to hear this
surance from the Democracy at this time in Tam
many Hall. 1t was characteristic of the Democ-
racy to give such an assurance as that. But the
Democracy must recollect that they alone did not
preserve the Union. A large portion of another
great party had shown themselves as true to the
Union as Democrats could well be. The most
prominent men of the Wing party had uobly come
forward and throwing themselves into the breach
had sustained the brunt of the battle Great
cheering and applause. Let the Democracy do
them credit, and award them the honor they dc
serve"

true manhood, which must grapple TO him every
honest heart. He may be ignorant, rude, as he is
poor, but he is of true nobility. The fugitive
slaves of the United States are among the heroes
of our age. In sacrificing them to this foul enact
ment of Congress, we should violate every senti-
ment of hospitality, every whispering of the heart,
every dictate of religion.
"There many who will never shrink at any
cost and, notwithstanding all the atrocious penal
ties of this bill, from efforts To save a wandering
fellow man from bondage-THET WILL OFFER
THE SHELTER OF THEIR HOUSES, AND If NEED BE,
WILL PROTECT HIS LIBERTY BY FORCE. But let me
be understood | counsel no violence -

THE OPINIONS OF SUMNER.-That our readers
may know something of the opinions of this gen
tleman, lately elected United States Senator from
the State of Massachusetts, we quote few para
graphs from his speech delivered at the Massa-
chusetts Free-Soil Convention, October Sd, 1850.
"We demand" said he, first and foremost,
the instant repeal of the Fugitive Slave Bill.
We demand that Congress receive into the
Union no new slave State.
''And yet one thing further must be done: The
Slave Power must be overturned, so that the Fed
eral Government may be put openly, actively, and
perpetually on the side of Freedom.
"And, still further, as if to do deed which
should make Heaven weep, 'all earth amazed,
this same Congress, in disregard of all the cher
ished safeguards of freedom, has passed most
cruel, unchrstian, devilsh law, to secure the re-
turn into slavery of those unfortunate bondmen
who are found sheltered by our fresides.
g In the immortal catalogue of National Grimes
this act has now passed, drawing with it, by an
nexorable necessity, its authors also, and chiefly
him who, as President of the United States, sci
his name to the Bill, and breathed into it that fna
breath without which it would have no life.
- Other Presidents may be forgotten, but the
name signed to the Fugitive Slave Bill never be
forgotten. There are depths of infamy as there
are heights of fame better far for him had he
never been born better far for his memory and
for the good of his children had he never
been President

The National H,tellgencer, the central whig or
gan, copies under its editorial head, with no mark
of dissent, the following extract from the Philadel
phia Ledger, neutral paper. To the last half of
the extract invite the attention of those slave
holders who would like to see what the most con-
servative of the Northern men say on the subject
of slavery, and who would like farther to ascer-
tain the sentiments of the leading wings at Wash.
ington:
TINE AND PRoGREss.-As several warrants are
alleged to have been assured in Boston for the ar
rest of more fugitive slaves, it may perhaps tend
to calm the rage of excitement, if not dnll the
edge of fanatcism, to reflect the fact that
Massachusetts, as political member of the Union,
is much a slave State South Carolina; and
that even'a repeal of the Fugitive Law would still
leave her in that position, while the present Con-
stitution binds together the Federal Union. Slave
ry, as social, commercial, and political evil, is
not congenial to the genius of Republican Govern
ment, yet the slave interest, political element
is interviewer aud incorporated with our Gov
ernment as to involve the disruption of the Union
in its immediate removal. Time, reason, and the
spirit of progress in developing the real truths of
political economy, must eventually cause 1t to dis
appear from the land. New elements are always
in process of creation, TO take the place of old
ones and as certain as that water will find Its lev
el, will the free principle pervade the universe
But the passions of men cannot produce the
change, which rests alone with higher and wiser
power.

Correspondence between Gen. Qutman and the
Central Southern Rights Association.
JACKSON, 10th March, 1851.

JACKSON, 18th March, 1851.
GEN. goHN A. QuITMAN-
Dear Sir. Your fellow-ci of the State of
Mississippi have witnessed, with sincere admira-
ton, you chivarous and patriotic defence, not only
OF the rights of our common country upon the bat
tie Held, but the rights of the South against the
assaults Of its enemies, both at home and abroad
whose success in their efforts to PROSTATE the
constitutional rights of the South to be deplor-
ed almost as much the success of foreign foe.
And for this, you have been DETAINED and persecu-
ted; driven To the necessity of either resigning
the high trust committed to your keeping by the
people of the State, of having that State degra-
ded by submitting its Chief Executive officer to be
carried away a captive, to be tried by foreign
trlbunal--and we have Witnessed with delight and
gratitude your triumphal acquittal by the admis-
sion of your enemies that they had no proof to
sustain their accusations (evidenty cotton up for
sectional and party purposes,)
These things, sir, have had a tendency to en-
dear you still more to the people of your own
State with whom you are most familiar and who
best know how to appreciate you. And as token
OF respect for your services as soldier, for your
able efforts a patriot in behalf of Southern
Rights, and their high appreciation Of your charac-
ter as citizen, they have, (as you will perceive
by the enclosed resolutions determined to give
you barbecue at the seat of Government, at such
time may suit your convenience to attend, and
nave appointed us committee to invite you to
honor the festival with your presence.
In the performance of this duty, we respectfully
request that you will designate an early day when
you can attend and receive the congratulations of
your fellow citizens.
We have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,

The following is an extract of letter from a
prominent citizen of Scott county in this State:
Senator Foote and Gen. Smith had discus
sion here yesterday, in which the former labored
to prove his correct, upright and consistent course
on all the questions that have so much agtated
the country, or in any way affecting the institu-
tions and rights of the South. But the General
could not fix it up to the satisfaction of a great
majority of the people here. After labored eff
fort to spin his fmsy web, it was broken through
and scattered to the wind in SO short time by
Judge Smith, that the subs dropped their heads
and many of them made for the door apparently
to get out of hearing of the shouts sent up by the
friends of their country's rights"

Relative to the story of the purchase of Sims
by periodical dealer of this city, we learn from
an authentic source that such is not, yet, at
least the fact. The party in question has been
told by the agent of the cIaiment, J. B. Bacon.
that he can probably purchase Sims after his arm
val in Georgia, for 81 500. The orders of the
master were, not to sell him here at any price.
Though the city viii have to pay greater
share of the expense of preserving the peace, yet
it is thought that the expense which will fall upon
the master, in recovering the slave, will be very
large, perhaps as high $1,000 or $4,000"
