Correspondence of the Evening Post
The Democratic State Convention in Vermont

BuRL1NGroN, May 5Oth, 1851.
The gathering of the Vermont Democracy here
to-day, is unexpectedly large.
After disposing of some preiminaries, and ap-
pointing the necessary committees, the following
candidates were nominated for the support of the
Democracy of Vermont at the ensuing election:
For GoVernor-Lucius B. Beck.
Lieut.. Gouernor-Ryland Fletcher.
Treasurer-Daniel B. Thompson.
A series of resolutions were then reported by the
committee, of which have barely time to furnish
you with an analysis, which, however, will make
their character perfectly Ineligible.
The 9th, Denies the existence of any power in
Congress over slavery in the States.
The 9th, Ayers that slavery is strictly State
and local institution and cannot claim the right to
be legalized beyond State lines.
The 10th, The Ordinance of 1887, by Jeffer-
son and others, shows that American Democratic
statesmen have uniformly regarded slavery as 10
cal and temporary, and we should now return to
their policy cf limiting localizing, and discourag-
ing it.
The 11th, The General Government should
relieve itself of all responsibility for slavery, SC
that freedom instead of slavery shall become ma
honal, and slavery instead of freedom become
sectional.
The 18th, The Wilmot Proviso is the only safe
way to prevent slavery extension.
The 18th, Against any more slave States
| The 18th, Adopts Rantoul's resolutions on the
Fugitive Law.
| The 18th, Bases their hopes of success to free
dom on the fidelity of the Democratic masses t.
their great principles, and repudiates the compro
mise as test of Democracy.
The 18th. Repels the accusation OF disloyait.

PENSACOLA. MAY 31s.. 1851


We remember short time since murder was
committed in Washington county, Alabama, by a
man By the name of John B. Hardin who was ar
rested In Shelby county, Alabama. 1t may be in
terestlng to you and your readers to learn his
quel.
He was carried from Shelby county to Henry
county, Ala. A delegation was sent from Milton,
Santa Rosa county, Fla, TO get him from tie su-
thorltes in Alabama, and bring him to Milton
which was done. Yesterday he was executed in
Milton by the people without trial. The negro
who assisted him. belonged to Joseph Forsyth,
was also hung at the same time yesterday, Friday,
May 3Oth, at 12I o'clock. He confessed the
crime and said he richly deserved DEATH for he
had been william all his life He had twenty
wives living, and had killed sixteen men, and all
he was sorry for was that he was not permitted to-
live long enough to kill four more He and the
negro Jack were both hung to one tree and buried
in one grave. Repentance and remorse were
strangers to him. He said his father and brother
were both hung. He refused to make any further
confession, he would implcate many heads OF
families who passed respectable. and would,
thereby, leave many widows and orphans
He met death without shudder was as cool as
a cucumber. He repented ofnothing he had done,
and said that he would iii turned loose, be as
bad as ever, if not worse The only request he
had to make, was not to be put TO torture. He
said he wished to be hung and decently buried
Yours, very respectfully Tribune

The Test Of Nationality.

The friends of Mr.. Webster have always held
him up as the very embodiment of nationality"
They lauded him, in his own language, as the
representative of ''our country, our whole coun-
try In his recent speech at Buffalo, he has re-
iterated that sentiment of peculiar Northern ''na
tionality,' which his successor, Mr.. Sumner, as
serts "the true principle of the Constitution, T"
and according to which, freedom and not sla-
very, is national, while slavery and not freedom,
is sectional.'' He regards the acquisition of free
soil only national. while that upon which the
negro treads is submissive servtude, is put under
the ban of his nationality" We annex the ex-
tract from his recent speech containing this very
national sentiment, preceded by two others
from his speeches in 1848 and 1880, in order to
show that he "treads no steps backward" and
that with him, negro slavery never had any of the
"oder of nationality" about it
"By this time the effort of the wings alone had
raised strong excitement in the north against
the annexation of slave territory. say the wings
alone for nobody belonging to the other party,
north south, east west, stirred finger in that
cause or, if there were any, they were SO few as
not to be disernable in the mass, until the wings
of New England, Ohio, and other middle States,
had accomplished great excitement and new feel
ing in the public mind. And then this portion OF
the democracy of New York, denoted the Barn
burning party, seized upon this state of excite
ment thus brought about by the whig effort, and
attached this principle to their creed to give them
pre-eminence over their rivals. Speech at A6-
ingdoa, Mass, l848.

prevented into an engine of oppression to States
and people.
The 18th, Sustains the ha6eas corpus law OF
Vermont.
Upon these resolutions several addresses were
delivered by the members of the convention.
Among the speakers, Mr.. Stansbury, the editor of
the Burlington Courier-one of the most eloquent
and effective of the Free Democratic presses
in New England-was listened to with peculiar in
terest as he had been in association with the whig
party until it ceased to be fashionable in that party
to defend the interests of human freedom
The 18th resolve sustains the State law passed
last winter, prohibiting the arrest of fugitive slaves
within the State. This shows that the treturn-
ing sense of justice" is spreading surely at the

Esz- The Houston Miss Argus says; "Col.
DAVIS speech throughout was listened to with
profound attention, cheered with great enthusiasm
carried conviction to every unbiased mind of
the patriotism and wisdom of the policy suggested
for the South to pursue-strengthened the faith
of the weak-confrmed the wavering--converted
the unconverted, and rendered the success of the
State Rights party in Chickasaw county certain
beyond a doubt.
"We must not neglect to state here that the
stand from which Col. Davis spoke was decorated
by the fair ladies of our village in very hand
some and tasty manner. On the front of the stand
was emblazoned in letters of living green: 1.-THE
HERO OF BUENA VISTA, TRUE TO THE
SOUTH" Festoons of evergreen hung around
the stand in elegant and tasty profusion
"After the speech of Col Davis, the order Of
cession was formed by the Marshalls and marched

gentlemen for whom it was intended. The evil
dence of Mr.McDowells public spirit is worthy of
all consideration and in giving the party he did
himself as much honor as his illustrious guest
The party was brilliant with beauty and intelli-
gence. Col. Davis, Gov. Guion, Col. Tarply and
Sims, all mingled in the cooquial enjoyments of
the evening with much alacrty, contributing their
full share to the interest of the occasion. The

The New York correspondent of the Washing
ton Union says that "The Compromise, started by
Cass, Foote, Douglas, Bright, dc, is the true
cause of the present popularity of the administra-
ton We are glad to hear it admitted for once
by high democratic authority, that whig admin
stration is popular. But the popularity it seems
was kindly given to it by the above named demo-
cratic gentlemen. 1t was certainly very generous
and dsinterested in them to save the country, and
then give the credit of it to whig. The Unions
correspondent seems hardly disposed to be mag
nanimous Cass, Foote, Douglass, Bright, DC,

you mean Clay, or Webster? BErAnd don't you
think that Fillmore deserves little credit for sign
ing the bills where by different course, he might
have made himself the most powerful man in the
northern States ?-zF
We care not, however, to dispute with this dem
ocrat We are willing to take his two important
statements, and leave the country to reflect upon
them. One is that, according to the democratic
witness, the present administration is popular, and
the other is that the compromise has made it
Both are popular and the country cannot do better
than to abide by both.
The Richmond Republican is responsible for the
above very remarkable passage. The passage we
have marked EB- is certainly remarkable, and is
curious instance of candid confession. President

Gg- The real character of Mr.. Fillmore is well
known by all except those who are wilfully blind,
yet the following sketch of the favorite of the
Southern wings, by the Buffalo Express, the &C
credited home organ of Mr.. Fillmore, is so truth
fully gotten up, that we give the portrait in full
We commend it to many of our whig friends who
have not yet allied themselves with the adherents
of the northern President with northern feelings
Having traced Mr.. Fillmores success in the
road to prefernent, we choose to look little
after the principles he possessed and with which
he ndoctrinated his constituency during his politi-
cal pilgrimage. For about twenty years we have
sat under President Fillmore's political preaching,
and have been educated at his political school,
He taught to favor protective tariff-a wise
disposition of the public lands-a sound currency
for the peope-a judciOus system of river and
harbor improvements and above all, to defend
the cause of human freedom, the freedom of
speech and of the press, as the only sure safe
guard of our liberties. He taught us to look upon
slavery a stain ON the body polite of the coun-
try, blot upon our national charter. He taught
us to regard the usage of our party with great
good faith, and lay all personal griefs and prefer
ences upon the altar of the party's good yielding
to all whig nominations a cheerful and ardent sup
port. During the contest Of 1914, his fervid elo-
quence burned the sentiments of human freedom
deep in the breasts of his people. Under his
teachings, Erie county was uncompromising in its
hostility to the annexation of Texas and the extern
sion of slavery In l848, although he thought
more and spoke less, perhaps, than formerly, yet
even then he had no disguise for his opposition to
slavery and its extension territory then free!
With the warmest professions for Northern whig
principles on his lips, Millard Fillmore was eleva-
ted to the Presidency. Without profession Of
these principles, so as to secure the confidence of
the wings of New York he never could have got
there. The Wings of the Empire State are every
inch freemen. They bear no love for the institu-
ton of slavery nor for those who foster or defend
it. Hence he who enjoys their confidence, must
be like them, defenders of human rights the rights
of conscience and the rights of speech"

The New York Day Book, the paper that ls;ey
sold itself to slave holders, to do any sort of con-
venient work, such as black balIing respectable
merchants, leaving black mail, and all that admin
listers cold comfort to its employers. 1t says:
Since the opening of the river navigation and
the arrival of such vast numbers of country peo-
ple our merchants and the Union committee seem
to have become convinced that it IS useless to at
tempt to change the current of public opinion in
this State. 1t is all one way, and directly oppos
ed to the efforts of the Union Committee, and in
favor of high handed measures against the South.
1t is as common as to hear men speak of the wea
ther, to hear merchant say" o, it is idle to
attempt to stem this Abolition current New York
and Ohio all over abolition and the people
will listen to nothing but Anti Slavery, Free-So,
and the repeal of the Fugitive Slave Law. The
President might" they continue, 'had he taken
strong measures last fall and come out with spirit
and determination, and removed every Higher
Law officer, and put in their place friends of the

THE SoBER-sEc THoUGHT OF THE NORTH
Some of the compromise presses and politicians
are trying to persuade the people of the south
that wholesome reaction is taking place in the
northern mind in relation to the subject of slavery
We have repeatedly exposed this "cat in the meal
tub" but find so pithy an exposition in a leading
Boston paper which supports Webster and the
compromise, that we subjoin it.
Massachusetts has no control whatever over
slavery except to prevent ats ertems'on and on tts

The Methodist Church Case.

At the close of the agreements IN this case,
Judge Nelson remarked as follows
''Some time will probably elapse before the
court will be enabled to take up the and give
it the examination which it will require at our hands
preparatory to decision. Other cases and other
duties pressing upon us, and as for myself,
shall be compelled to go into another court after
have concluded my duties in this. My associate,
Judge Belts, will also be much occupied, and some
time will necessarily elapse before we can enter in
to consultation In the mean time, cannot
help expressing concurrence in the suggestions
of the learned counses on both sides, that it would
be much better for the interests of the church, and
the interest of all concerned, if the parties would
amicably take up the case, and by the and OF coun
sci come to an adjustment before 1t Is fully decided
by this court. We cannot entertain doubt, after
what has taken place--whateyer may be our deeis
ion-that an amicable adjustment must necessarily
be more satisfactory to all parties concerned that
the future good feeling and christian friendship of
the members of the church will be much better
promoted by amicable adjustment than it can
by any disposition of the court. We may add that
whatever doubts entertained as to the power
of the agents who hold the trust, there can be no
reasonable doubt that whatever may be advised by
the different counsel and sanctioned by this court
would be valid and binding disposition. We
deemed 1t necessary to say thus much, from the
time that must elapse before our decision can be
given, and with hope that, in the mean time. an
amcable arrangement may be effected between
the contending parties.
