As everything relating TO the building of the Capitol is
interesting 10 citizens particularly at the present time,

The principle of accession asserted by the Southern
Press is the fatal stab yet made at the nsu
ton of slavery Every must that j, terminates
by one blow all the control which the slave States
possess over this description of property Let for
ample suppose that the doctrine OF South Carolina, claim
ng no, only for State the right of secession at her pleas
ure but the corrca,ve duty Of the other States protect
her in tina, secession admitted and then let suppose
that Ohio declares herself independent Of the Union and
refuses as she surely would. and avery other nation
does to enter into treaties to deliver up fugItives
from service by that single act she would emancpaie
all the slaves that would seek asylum on her soil
She would be another Canada all the slave States that
border on her frontiers and have only to suppose
that the other States Of the Northwest do the thing
to find number OF Canadas ready to force upon Brit
ish pocy-ready to reproduce within our limits the
scenes of St. Domingo, compel to adopt the views
of Wilberorce which produced the emancipation OF ia
maica and have involved Great Britain in series OF dis

Then il follows that if accession, a constitutional
right be admitted. any single Of the free States
bordering the slave States, by Withdrawing from the
Union may destroy the institution OF slavery Indeed,
the great safeguard of slavery il the Union; and this
is so well known TO the abolitonists, that in their re.

dissolving the Union, the only mode of aboshng
slavery.
10 1t not more reasonable for to suspect that the

The Special Organ or tho tion


How long will it be the policy of the administration TO
play the game of dsngenuousness in respect 10 the true
position of the leading and measures of the day. 1t
is un worthy the dignity OF official station be uering
the slang of faction, and charging the democratic party
with doctrines which have been repudated by it since its
foundation Mr. Webster has for himself taken off the
mask and declared boldly and honoraby that free sosm
was the platform of the whg party up to the death of
General Taylor Can he induce the President and
his associates in the cabinet be equally candid and
not falsely charge upon the democratic party the OF
President Van Buren, and bis son, who, far free
sosm recognised political test. are far more
sinred against than SHINING before wing tribunals
The President and his cabinet ought TO that the time
has come when party leaders ought to be dealt with
fairly The bane OF the day is that the tactics OF party
succeed much conceang the truth from the people,
and in making elections not much the test OF the
soundness of the principles Of administration OF the
dexter,y and cunning OF the men who are TO fill the
chief places OF emoument and power.
II the special organ will continue TO falsy the esti-
moDy borne by Mr. Webster in respect to free sosm,
how is TO be expected that the lesser organs will not be

although breadstuhs touched in general lower money

necessarily follow that the farmers profits less be-
the lower price arises from improved facilities of
