" Four of the nominees on the Barnburner ticket
are Van Buren, Free-soil Democrats, of the ultra

and political power Of the State.
"Henry S. Randall, of Cortland county, is named

the editor of the Buffalo Republic one of the worst
sort of Democratic Abolition papers in the State,
which has just distinguished itself in the Buffalo
slave case, by publishing inflammatory and ncen-
diary accounts, either to induce rescue by vio-

facts as these, We beg our fricnds at Richmond,
Raleigh, Nashville, Augusta Macon, Savannah,
Tuscaloosa, Vicksburg, and New Orleans, to bring
them nome to their people. The only IVoolly-
hsadism now left with any power in this great State
had full and complete sway in the Democratic Van
Buren, Barnburner Convention at Syracuse. They
not only put down, by largo majority, a reso-
luton approving the final settlement of the Com
promise measures, but the resolutions they did
pass are cheat, subterfuge, with double enfen-
Dire, disappearing by the implication of silence at
least, the Fugitive Slave law-but disappearing in

This gentleman, the late Representative in
Congress of the Ninth Congressional District
of Virginia, in answer to certain queries pro
pounded to him, has published a letter in reply,
in which he states that, had all the Adjustment
or Compromise measures come up in single
bill, he should have felt it his duty to have
voted for them. He says:

Of slavery in the District of Coumbia-no violation
of the Constituton-no sacrifice of northern, south
ern, or national honor-nol But find in them
holy incense Of patriotism, offered up by the wisest

that Union, in the preservation of which, in the

ity, felicity, safety, perhaps our national exist

General Quitman's withdrawal.

TO THE DEMOCRATIC STATE RIGHTS PARTY OF MIS-
sIssIPPI
The result of the recent election for the conven-
Hon, however brought about, must be regarded.
at least for the present, decisive of the position
OF the State on the great issues involved.
The majority have declared that they arc con-
tent with the late aggressive measures of Con-
gress, and opposed to any remedial action by the
State.
Although this determination of the people is Mt
variance with my fixed opinion of the true policy
OF the State heretofore expressed and still conscien
uously entertained, yet as State Rights man,
and Democrat, bow in respectful submission 10
the apparent will of the people.
1t Is true the State has not yet spoken authorize
lively; even the acts of the convention will not be
binding until they shall have been ratified by a
vote OF the peoples but by the election of non-rc-
sisters to the convention a majority Of the people
nave declared against the course Of policy on the
slavery questions which deemed il my duty 10
pursue while Governor, and against the principles
upon which was nominated, and upon which
alone mad consented to run a candidate

VINO are struggling to maintain the rights of tho

our institutions from the fatal effects of CONSOLE
dating all power in the Federal Government, and
sense OF self respect, which inclines me not to
seek public station in which my opinions upon
vital questions not sustained by majority OF
my constituents, all concur in inducing TO the
opinion that my duty requires me to retire from
the position which ] occupy as the Democratic
State Rights candidate for Governor. With emo
tions of the deepest gratitude to tho patriotic
party by which was nominated, for the evidences
of their unfaltering confidence, both in the nomi
nation and in the warm and hearty reception with
which have been met everywhere in the canvass

The Union and the Positions or the two
Parties In New York.

The Union of yesterday denominates the re-
solutions lately adopted by the New York
Wing State Convention as " a subterfuge,"
:" a cheat" and " a snare" and concludes its
remarks by the following:
"Such indications as these must at last convince
all the Wings of the South that in relying upon the
President and the Wing party TO sustain the Com
promise, including the Fugitive Slave law
And now, what is the position OF the De-
mocracy of New York in regard to the Com
promise} 1t is fully indicated and fixed by the
action of the late Democratic Free-soil Conven-
ton in laying the following resolution, which
was offered in committee, and subsequently in
the convention, on the table:
"HesoIved, That the Democratic party in the
State of New York will faithfully adhere to the
cent settlement by Congress of the questions
which have unhappily divided the people of these
States, and will neither countenance nor sanction
any sectional agitation or legislation on the sub
jects embraced in that settlement
The resolution they did adopt may well be
termed "a subterfuge," ga cheat" and "a
snare;" for while on its face, and to those who
do not understand the trick, it purports to ap-
prove the whole Compromise, We have the
authority of the Hon. Mr.. MURPHY for saying
that it does not include the Fugitive Slave
law. Nevertheless, with these facts before
them, and about which there can be- no mis-
take, the Union endeavors to make the world
believe that its party in New York approve
every measure of the Compromise, and the
whole, as a final settlement!

THE JUBILEE.


From he Boston Courier Of September 49,
Yesterday was the second day devoted to fes-
tivity, recreation, and rejoicing, an Offering of
welcome and congratulation to- the multitudes of
strangers from far and near, who have been invit-
cd to our city for the purpose of COMMUNICATING
the completion of of our great systems of in
ternal improvement. In beauty Of weather the
second day surpassed the first. A cloudless and
serene sky continued to smile upon US, while the
summary warmth and blandness of the air drew
forth into the streets still greater crowds than those
OF the day preceding. There was also an aug.
mented gaiety and animation in the groups and
columns of population that streaming from
one end of the city to the other, throughout the
day. Additional ornaments of banners and other
lively and snowy articles of establishment gave
new features of gaiety to the scene.
The water-side, from which the parties embark
cd on board the steamboats, for an excursion down
the harbor, presented most enlivening sight. The
wharves were covered with dense mass Of spec.
tators. The shipping were decked in their gayest
apparel, and hundreds of masts finging to the
breeze their ensgns and steamers, afforded
lively image of that great commerce whose inter
ests arc so, intimately connected with the event
which their festivities were designed to commem-
crate. The wide expanse of the harbor, with the
multitude of floating craft upon its bosom, the
blue sky and the bright sun over head, giving life
and brightness and animation to all, made up
picture which has not been surpassed in its char
acteristic features by any thing of the kind among
Us.
At eight O'Clock the guests invited to the excur-
sion began to move toward Il wharf, the place of
embarkaton, and from that hour to until half past
ten, the time of starting, the avenues leading in
that direction were thronged. The steamers On
gagged for the occasion were the S. s. Lewis, the
benjamin FRANKLIN, the st. Lawrence the May
flower, the Nauston, and the John TAYLOR To
these added the revenue cutters Hamilton
and Morris
The number of guests invited, and which en-
barked on board Lhcse vessels, was between three
and four THOUSAND, distributed thus: S. S. Lewis,
two hundred; Bnjamin Franklin, five hundred;
st. Lawrence, dght hundred; Mayhower, eight
hundred; Nausbn, five hundred; John Taylor,
two hundred, Morris; one hundred and fifty; Ham
ilton, one hundr,d and fifty.
These figures Indicate the number of tickets ORR
ginally issued for the excursion. Before the party
left the wharf The number was probably swelled to
$500 or 1000.
The party which embarked on board the 8. S.
Lewis assembled at the Mayor and Aldermen's
room, at the City Hall. This party embraced the
President and ais suite, Governor Boutwell, and
the Executive Council, and many other distin-
puished pcrsonares

will be acted upon steadily and decisively The
