Expression Of sentiment In the states.

e~N
The Governor Of Virgins, in his annual mes.
sage to the Legislature, takes ground in favor Of
the late adjustment of the slavery question by
Congfess. He speaks, no doubt, the views of
that State upon the exciting topics that have re.
Gently agitated the public mind throughout the
Union. A noncompliance with that settlement
on the part Of the Northern States-a further
agitation of the subject with a view of making
AggTessions upon Southern rights, or a repeal Of
thelaw for the restitution Of fugitive slaves--hs
considers would be dangerous in the extreme,
and tend inevitably to a dismemberment of the
UnIon. In a subsequent special message, trans
hitting the resolutions Of the Indiana Conysn-
tiOn, he complains of the conduct Of the Yer.
mont Legislature for the passage Of the late out.
sagsous act annulling and setting at defiance the
law Of Congress, which alone induced the slave.
holding Ststes to acquiesce in the compromise
measures. "For the restoration Of complete and
edectual harmony" the Governor recommends
The Legislature to invite all the States of the
Union to unite in sending delegates to represent
tAe. whole people at Baltimore, or some central
point, not later than May next. w.
The State Of Indiana has spoken through the
Convention recently called to remodel her Con.
~stitution. She records her voice in favor Of the
compromise measures, and avows her determine.
tion to stand BY them, whatever may be the opin-
ions Of individuals as TO the wisdom or policy Of
the details Of one or any of said acts.
Isl Georgia, too, is willing that these measures
stand, and be made a platform upon which the
North and South may unite, and bring about q
restoration of friendly feeling. Resolutions have
been offered in the Convention which clearly in
dictate The position Of Georgia at this critical time.
They Jiay that upon the faithful execution of the
fugitive slave bill BY the proper authorities. de-
zpeads the preservation Of our much loved Union,
-snd that that State will and ought to resist the
measures Of the abolitionists and freesoilers, il
carried cut in the Legislation of the country.
The Governor Of Ohio finds some objection.
to the fugitive slave law, and thinks it should be
rspsaledo or modified; and if this fails, the Union
Of the States is still worth preserving, and the
law, however odious, should be submitted to, as
both a civil and christian duty.
g The manifestations of sentiment from South
CarOlins, plainly indicate a desire to secede
.Psacsably from the Union. The propositions in
the Legislature, the speeches Of the members.
and the fiery haranguies of her orators, all show
the deep 'en'ibility Of her people. The adjus'-

No greater excitement has prevailed in

years. relative 10 our Road, than now
moves the mind Of the people. The col
umns Of this prper, aside from editorial,
have been graced by the pens of some OF
or best and most intelligent men. Among
our correspondents we number writer's who
do not take up space for the mere purpose
OF ringing changes upon beautiful words.
They have been observers and actors. The
public may rely upon statements made in
the Post about the history, incidents, and
advancement Of our Road. We have not

and sensible appeals will induce the pub.

enlightened zeal. we cannot lend ourselves
to the work Of getting up false exci,ements
and uncertain hopes. We oppose all spec.
nIa'on, fancy stocks, and all things else
that do no, tend 10 bring about a perma-
nen', rational prosperity. Such has been
our doctrine, and such has been and will
continue I" he our practice.
After more Than TWO years vigorous ex-
