ed by the Legislature Of New York. on the same day that
similar compliment paid to Gen Riley Ex-Governor OF
California whose vuor if nothing ese entitled him TO pub

shall continue exhibit such monsrous evidences OF free
soil tendency they cannot expect the South willing
to build up the power the State by pouring their treasures
even into New York city. We that this fact will in
time become manifest the State of New York and other
States which writhe under the embrace Of frce-sosm.

TRUE TEST.
The Democratic House in Pennsy vana passed bill
pealng oil the sections Of the act Of l6 that contcted
with the provisions Of the National Constitution for the re-
coyery OF fugitive slayes-bu under the sinister influence Of
Johnston the Free Soil Wing Governor Of the State, the
Wing Senate would not adopt the bill They struck out all
bu, the portion repeating that section of the act OF s47
which prohibited the Of the as for securing fugitive
slaves This we admit the most important section OF
the act of ls7 but had the Wings stood up their Demo
cratic fellow members all the Objectionable sections prohibit
ting State officers FROM aiding in the execution of the fugitive
slave law &c would have been boed out from the Penn
syvania books Even the BILL in its present shape
opposed by all the Wings of the Senate but t'ro and in
the House BY the body Of the same party Is not this an
other proof that nearly oil the aid that can be expected from
the North for the constitutional rights of the South TO be
found in the ranks Of the Democracy party? As the
Savannah Georgian well says:
In regard the two national organizations u may De
said that the great strength Of the Wing party being in the
North where antislavery sentiments SO generally prevail
that party u.s. entirely but to great extent an
very pary while the other hand, the great strength oi
the Democratic party being in the South that party s TO
very considerable extent, pro-savery party
In choosing then between the two Southern men must
choose the Democratic party That party if either be, Is
,hon IF ;,o Ruchanan
the ",rue Constitutional Union party All then among
who are in favor of disunon tho hand of
higher law than the Constitution the other should be-
not in the but in truth Constitutional Union ard
go according Mr. Buchanan they must become Dem.
ocras-he Democratic party being the true Constitutional
Union party" Let political connection be then, with
Buchanan, Glass; Dallas, Woodbury. and Dickinson and De-
mocracy, rather than with Seward Fillmore Webster and
Corwin and Whiggery.
