A STRAW"

Mr. Fillmore is determined that the Union
shall not be dissolved if obsequousness to slavery
can help IT. He has come ont strong for all the
"peace measures" and has since proved his SIN
cerity by further acl of devotion to the bloody
god. He has appointed james D. calhoun ,I,, OF
Georgia. as G vernor of New Mexico. When
we remember that the wings have consented 10
organize New Mexico without the W !Imot rro
viso, and further, have absolutely forbidden the
local Legislature from acting on the subject OF
Slavery this new act Of the Presidents cannot
but be considered as a sign that the present
powers have determined to give all the facilities
they can to the introduction OF slavery into New
Mexico, and try the strength of that claw OF
God" which Mr.. Webster was so reluctant to

An Infamous Conspiracy to put
down Freedom of Debate.

The Washington correspondent Of the
Cleveland True Democrat reveals settled
plan ON the part of the majority of Congress,
to prevent the introduction of any bill to
repeal or modify the fugitive law, by re
fusing to call the States according to tn
usual practice, for resolutions. No motion
to suspend the rules can be made except OF
Mondays; and tine plan is that on eacl
Monday morning some Southern man o.
some Northern doughlace shall get the floor,
and move to 90 into committee ct the
whole, thereby eating off all chance I" NOV
suspension Of the rules. Comments np""
so infamous policy are unnecessary. 1t

A writer in the New Orleans Crescent
proposes the following plan for settling the
present difficulties between the North and
South relative to disunion, &c.
|. All the people ofSouh Car lima, Mis-
sissipp and Georgia who take high grounds
shall by act Of Congress, be immigrat.d to
Dessert, and a military force be employed
TO keep them West Of the mountains.
2. That the starving Irish and exled
Hung rians shall be invited TO occupy S.
Carolina, under condition hat they take
an oath never to take high grounds-prov.
ided this oath shall not proven the cuI iva,
ton either OF the high mountains or the
high inteIects which may he found within
the said territory.
3 That the Government shall give every
man who has negro run off, the choice OF
pursuing him in person or becoming Post
master at the next Post Office.
a. If Congress and the President should
adopt this plan, Capt Bragg shall have
nothing to do with it, in compliment tc

induce them to connive at then escapt. A nun
dred dollars per head is price enough for runa'
way slaves, as they are not valuable to the own

pense. At this rate, the balance coming 10 us

it not faur one? They honestly owe US this

more slaves than are profitable to them, or they
