mand the acquiescence OF every citizen Of the

That whilst we aequiesce inthe enaefmentso or

attachment and veneration for the Union estab- =
lished by forefathers, still we declare that vi
olatlons of our rights may occur which would
amount to slnfolerable OPPRESSION and would
justify a resort TO measures ofresistanee
i. The interference by Congressional legisla-
ton with theinstitution of slavery in the States,
2. Interference in the trade in slaves between
the States.
3 Inc abolition by Congress OF slavery in the
District of Columbia.
4. The refusal by Congress to admit new

rating slavery within her limits.
5. The passage Of any law by Congress pro-
hibiting slavery in any of the territories.
g. The repeal the Fugitive Slave law rthe

obliteration of all old party lines and that we
will, and do unite heart and hand as a Union
party for the preservation of the Union
That the heartfelt thanks of this community

THE SOUTHERN RIGHTS UNION PLATFORM.

/. Resolred, That we hold the American Union
secondary in importance only TO the rights and
principles it was tesignedto perpetuate; that past
associations frution and future prospects,
will bind TO it so long it continues to be the
safeguard to those rights and principles
2. Resolved, That if the thirteen original parties
to this contract, bordering the Atlantic in mar
row belt, whilst their seperate interests were in
embryo, their peculiar tendencies scarcely de-
veloped, their revolutionary trials and triumphs
still green in memory, found Union impossible
without compromise, the thirty-one OF this day
will yield somewhat in the conflict of opinion and
policy,to preserve that Union which has extended
the sway of republican government over vast
wilderness TO another ocean, dproportionately
advanced their civilization and national great
ness.
8. That in this spirit we have maturely consid-
cred the action of Congress, embracing series
of measnres-for the admission of California in
to the Union, the organization of territorial gov
ernments for Utah and New Mexico the estab-
lishment OF boundary between the latter and the
State of Texas the suppression of the slave trade
in the District of Columbia, and the extraditon
of fugitive slaves, and connected with them, the
rejection of the proposition to exclude slavery
from the Mexican territories, and to abolish it in
the District of Columba-and whilst we do not
wholly approve, will abide by it, as a permanent
adjustment of this sectional controversy.
4. That in our judgment we will and ought to
resist, even (as last resort to disruption of ev-
cry tie which binds her to the Union, any action
of Congress upon the subject of slavery in the
District of Columbia, in places subject to the
jurisdiction of Congress. Incompatible with the
safety, domestic tranquility, the right and honor
of the slaveholding States; in any act sup
pressing the slave trade between the slavehold-
ing States, or in any refusal TO admit as State
any territory heretofore applying, because ofthe
existence of slavery therein, or in any act pro-
hibiting the Introduction of slaves into the ter
ritorics of Utah and New Mexico, or in any act
repeating or materially modifying the laws now
in force for the recovery of fugitive slaves.
5. That it is our deliberate opinion, that upon
the faithful execution of the fugitive slave law,
by the proper authorities, depends the preser-
vation OF our much loved Union.

The National Era on New Mexico
And Slavery.

The metropolitan Abolition organ thus
speaks of slavery in New Mexico. It as
serts that it exists there now-that the Uni
ted States Judges have carried slavery there,
and that it is the intention of the rulers there
to establish slavery. Readit:
''Read if you have not read, read again if
you have, the letter from our we'll informed
correspondent at Santa Fe, published in last
week $ Era. The man who, after the dis
closure it makes, can doubt of the purpose
of the slave power, in regard to that Terri
tory, would not be convinced though one
rose from the dead. The principal Judges,
both of Utah and New Mexico, are slave
holders, and take their Sloyes rith them into
those Territories What decision can be ex-
pected from them? The nomination of Mr.
Smith, the Delegate from New Mexico, who
issued so spirited an appeal to his constitu-
ents against slavery, was for this reason re-
iected in the Senate of the United States.
That there are slaves in Utah, we know from
the admission of its delegates who were here
during the last Congress That there are
slaves in New Mexico, negroes and Indians,
and that movements are now on foot for car
rying other slaves there from the United
States, our correspondent positively testifes
That the entire Territorial Government is
under the absolute control of shareholders
is another fact shown by the same authority
and we see, too, that the Catholic priest
hood there, known to be opposed to slavery
is to be Invested of its power. What fur

WASHINGTON, August 2.

WASHINGTON, August 2.
Nothing is talked of here but the inteili-
gence from and concerning Cuba. Our in
formation is vague and contradictory, but
still the government appears to deem theI
matter serious, inasmuch as they have order
cd several sloops of war for Cuba. Should
any thing of Importance occur in Cuba, the
Government has no means of getting speedy
information of it by any pnblic armed steam
err. There is not a steam vessel now at the
command of the Government that can be re-.
lied on for speed and certainty, considering
the cxigencies that might, at any moment,
arise in reference to Cuban matters. The
Government ought to have few efficiently
armed and fast sailing steamers at Norfolk.
The best vessel we had for this purpose was
the Susquehonndh, recently ordered to the
East Indies
1t is not believed here that any supplies
of men or munitions of war have been recent
Ilv sent from the United States to Cuba; but
it is probable that men enough can be obtain
ed for that object at any time The chief
difficulty will be in raising funds; and it is
by no means clear that funds, heretofore fur
nished from Cuba, in aid of such measures,
have been properly or iudicious applied. Ii
the revolution should meet with some sue
cess at its commencement-if, In fact, the
movement should prove to be revolutionary
and general, and not merely a sudden and
temporary outbreak, the enterprise will not
long want adequate means in men and muni-
tions of war.
Gov. fletcher is here awaiting for instrue-
] tons relative to his mission in Mexico, tC
which he is about to return. The Tehuante
pee Treaty is the chief subject of difficulty
and our Government will press its ratiica
ton, and probably insist upon compliance
] by Mexico, with her obligations to the TIE
huantepec Company The President of The
Company has made public and able argu
ment in support of the rights Of the Compa
ny as derived from the ggant to Garay.
The subject of thereclamations made by
/ Mexico on this Government is also to b
treated, and it is known that our Govern
ment-has determined to offer Mexico sun
of money in satisfaction of her demands, OF
account ofIndian depredations. A few mil

following:
The returns received from this and neigh

election Of Campbell over Trousdale. In.the

can only be determined certainly by the ac-

The chances, we believe, are in favor Of a
