every mind the necessity Of stand against such
encroachmeEts upon freedom.
The Constitution, faithfully construed and ad.
ministered, would prevent all collision between
the State and General Governments but as they
are invariably decided at the South in favor of
the former and in favor Of Slavery, so will they
be decided here in favor Of the State and Of Lib
erty. As the action Of the Southern States in
this respect is not held up as a sufficient cause
for disunon, so will it be folly to make the action
of the Northern States cause for dsunion,
either way. IL disunion comes, it must come
from the South and upon their heads must rest
the responsibility. w.

CAsuNE, Me-. Apil IS, 1851.
To the Editor fthe National Era:
AS have not yet seen in your columns any
notice of our State Convention to oppose the Flu
gitive Slave bill, send herewith a copy Of the
Inquirer extra, containing the proceedings &c. in
the hope that you will publish some of the resou-
tons Hon Stephen C.. Foster President of the
Convention, was Democrat up to ls4s has been
a member Of both branches Of our Legislature,
and President Of the Senate. Theophilus Cush-
ing, one of the Committee on Resolutions, was
Wing and Free Soil candidate for Representa-
tive to Congress from the 9Th district at the last
election.
Since the State Convention, County Conven.
tions have been held in Somerset, Franklin, Ok
ford Cumberland, Lincoln, and Washington, be-
sides many local meetings in various parts of the
State, showing that the spirit of Freedom and
attachment to true Democratic principles is by
no means extinct in Maine.

cock Westerns a member of the Hamlin Sec
ton Of the Democratic party, and is strongly OPP
posed TO the Fugitive bill. He succeeds one Of
the opposite faith in that respect.
Our Congressional District, the 9TH, has the
dishonor of being represented by Thomas ]. ID.
Fuller, whose votes on the side of freedom have
been few and far between. IL is some consolation,
however that at the election last fall he ran far
behind his ticket receiving very small plurali-
ty many honest Democrats refusing TO vote for
him, on account of his shameful pro-slavery
course. If the Fugitive Slave bill had passed the
House before our election, he would doubtless
have been defeated, many who then supported
him declaring that he should never have received
their votes, if they had supposed that his name
would have been recorded in favor of that hateful
measure.
In district No. 4, Charles Andrews, Democrat,
by writing a circular in which he extolled his
own fidelity to freedom, and sending it over the
district-by pledging himself to influential men,
bers of the Free Soil party to maintain their prin-
ciples-took from Isaac Reed, the Wing Free Soil
candidate q sufficient number Of votes to secure
his own election in fact, he acknowledged that
he owed his success to Free Soil men. But he
has ready shsmefully violated his pledges. He
made pro slavery speech at the Union meeting

held in Maine) and in other parts Of his district
