THE POSITION OF PARTIES.

The Republic, the special organ of the Ad-
mnistrahon, transfers to its columns the whole
of our article in last weeks Era, on the posi-
ton of parties, and the relations of Mr.. Fillmore
to the South, and says:
We are willing to take the Era'sindictment
as it stands and to ground upon it the strongest
justification of its policy that any Administra-
ton can desire to offer'
The Administration then, if its organ fairly
represent it, admits that we have done it but
justice, in presenting it AZ the most potent sup
port at this time of the slave power, and on this
ground it rests its strongest justification
We infer that the Republic either has no
Northern subscribers or does not rec ognise any
North, or is under the impression that the anti
slavery element of the North is too insignificant
to be considered in calculation of political
chances
While noticing one part Of the article OF the
Republic commenting on our views we may
as well correct gross Misrepresentation con-
tanned in the following extract: -
a Its hostility to the PRESIDENT and his ad-
visers has long been O. matter OF notorety
has denounced their policy, domestic and for
eign, and has uniformly held them up to the
reprobation of it's friends as the most formidable
antagonists of the abolitionists cause Ii has
almost uniformly been found fighting side by
side with the Union on every topic but that of
slavery Their sympathies run together in be-
half of everything that partakes OF filibuster-
ing character they joined in indicating Lopez
and his followers, and in condemning the Pres
idental action against them; they sing in
chorus the praises Of q whole host of liberatng
heroes and are invited by the Syracuse aboli-
tionists to give currency to their proceedings"
We plead guilty to the charge of deeply
sympathizing with all revolutionary movements,
sincerely and wisely directed to the extension
Unpopular rights and the extinction of despotsm,
and if this be {" filibustering" we glory in it.
The authors of the Declaration Of Independence
were illustrious flibusters" Lopez aimed to give
liberty to his Cuban countrymcn for this we
honorcd him, though his reward was the death
Of a malstactor Had success crowned his
efforts, the Republic would now be glorify-
ing, instead vilifying him. But we did not
approve of the organization Of armed bands in
this country, and their sailing from our shores
to invade Government with which we were at
peace We did not attempt to plead for or ex-
cuse any violation of our treaty obligations we
did not blame the President for using all the
means at his disposal to prevent armed expedi-
tons from this country, and TO maintain the
good faith of the Government Though unable
to see the propriety Of stigmatizing the adven,
turers as .piratcs" we expressly sustained the
action of the Executive, intended to preserve q

war with the kingdom whose independence he
had but Just confirmed kossuth became again
the soul of the contest His clarion voice sum-
moned the millions of his native land to the de-
fence of their rights His transcendent genius

Courage method, and power. sprung up at his
word Victory waited upon his steps The
power of Austria was hurled back from the
Hungarian borders and even the capital was
within his grasp. Russia poured forth her hosts
to the aid of Austria. Kossuth, the animating
spirit of the nation still maintained the strug-
gle-still continued to be victorious. His deeds
rang throughout the world. His name was
upon every tongue. Admiration of his genius,
faith in his purposes JOY at his success filled
every heart He fell, and his country fell, at
last-not in open war, but through the purchas-
ed treason of one of her sons The whole world
wept over her fate, and the sympathies of all
nations went with Kossuth and his companions
to his Turkish prison
Such is the cause which Austrian Despotism
and its agents would discredt such the man,
whom American attaches and ex-honorables
would represent as "a humbug and dema-
gogue," and Conservative journals in the Uni
ted States treat as at least a very suspicious
character!
So long had We been habtuated in this coun-
try to the detractiOn and abuse of those of our
citizens distinguished for their hatred of OPP
preston that our sensibilities had become
blunted-we took it all as a matter of course
use reconciles one to anything. One ceases
to think of long-standing ulcer but when
the virus breaks out in a new place, attention
is arrested and q new sensation of lOathing
comes over us So, when we saw the latent
hatred Of the Rights Of Mankind maniiesting
itself in an unexpected way against the noblest
defenders of Liberty abroad, we felt once more
the indignation and contempt with which in
the commencement of our Anti-Slavery career
we regarded the base libelers of Freedoms
champions
Down with all tyrants, with their aiders,
abettors and apologists And all honor to the
men, of whatever cline, who have planted their
artillery and staked their lives for the over
throw of Oppression

Where the founts Of pleasure burst

And they Knocked my spirits thirst
And / said, life is desert,
Hot, and measureless and dry;
And God will not give me water,
Though 1 pray, and faint and die
Spoke there then friend and brother,
Rise, and roll the stone away;
There are founts of life up-springing
In thy pathway every day
Then / said, my heart was SINFUL
Very sinful was my speech;
All the wells of Gods salvation
Are too deep for mo to reach.
And he answered, Rise and labor
Doubt and idleness is death
Shape thee out gOodly vessel.
With the strong hands of thy faith.
So sought and shaped the vessel,
Then knelt lowly humbly there,
And drew up living water

A HARD CASE.

The Pennsylvania Statesman says: "That on
Wednesday, man named William Jones living
in Philadelphia, with his wife and five children,
was turned into the street by his landlord,
Robert l.. Corey, for non-payment of rent. On
Thursday morning, the whole family were
found by the marshaPs police alongside Of an
old burnt stone house They had remained
there without shelter, all night, and were shiv-
ering with cold, and half famished Jones, the
father of the family, is shoemaker, but, in
consequence of extreme i'll health, has been un-
able to pay his way. His wife is represented
as very fine woman. One of his children is
an infant. They are all American-born people
Their case is one that may justly excite both
commiseration and charity. Loud complaints
are made against both the landlord and the
officer who dispossessed them, under the pecu-
liar circumstances"
The above is good specimen of the result
of freedom among the white population. There
are numberless instances of the same kind even
in this country of boosted wealth and liberty
Southern Press.
Ofeourse, our neighbors intend to recommend
slavery among the white population" as the
remedy for such evil. Had William Jones. for
example, and his wife and five children, been
the slaves of Robert L. Corey, they would not
have been turned out of house and home There
is nothing new under the sun. We recollect
Scotch writer who, some two centuries ago,
being deeply panied at the condition of the
poor people of Scotland drew up plan for
their enslavement which he recommended to
the public, arguing with much plausibility that
the relation of slavery would at least secure
them shelter and food, which they were not al
ways able to secure in a state of freedom. We
commend the views y, INA, wr,Ser so'cOt ,eo-~.1.-
poraries they may furnish some important
innts ss to- 10 ssst iiicdo Of meliorsting .he
condition of the white people of the North, by
making one half of them slaves to the other
half AS the relation is one sanctioned by
Revelation, doubtless our philanthropic neigh
bors would find some of our most learned Doc
tors of Divinity useful helps in carrying out
their benevolent scheme. And, indeed, if they
would confine the scheme to such men as Rob-
ert l.. Corey, we are not sure but they might
count on our aid; for it would not be amiss for
such creatures to be disciplined, at least for a
reasonable length of time, under an oyerseer's
lash.

JANUARY.
BY MISS ALICE CAREY.

o. sorrowful and faded years,
Gathered away a time ago
How could your deaths the fount of tears
Have troubled to an overflow
muse upon the songs made
Beneath the naples yellow limbs,
When down the asles of their cold shade
Sounded the wild birds farewell hymns;
But no sad spell my spirit binds,
As when, in days which it broods
October hunted with the winds
Along the reddening sunset woods,
Alas, the seasons come and go,
Brightly dmly rise and set
The days, but stir no fount of woe,
Nor kndle hope nor wake regret
l sit with the complaining night,
And underneath the waning moon,
As when the lilies, large and white,
Lay round the forehead of the June
What time within snowy grave
Closed the blue eyes so heavenly dear,
~ .~,.-ss -, 10 s..s- 49,,
'.hnd time has nothi-, --
The golden aings 81 s,.... .sscE hours
Make to my heart dirge-like sound,
The springs sweet boughs of bridal flowers
Lie bright across a smooth capped mound.
What care I that sing to-day
Where sound notths OH p,sintiye hymns,
And where the mountains hide away
The sunset naples yellow limbs.
The National Era charges us with fanati
cism in expressing as we did some days ago
sympathy for the oppressed, and a wish tina
this country should take more republican
part in favor of the prosecuted in Europe, thar
it does through its representatives in general.

By no means: We too, are guilty of sucl
fanaticism. What We charged upon the Pres
was, that it had become convert to the doc

dreadful? What fanaticism so horrible as tina
which assumes that there can be "highe

travagances. Alas for its apostacyl

PREsIDENTIAL.-The Philadelphia Sun urges
warmly Millard Fillmore as candidate for the
Presidency. 1t says ait is conceded that party
lines are broken down before the force of these
new issues, the Slavery question: and that par
ty fealty can no longer bind its members to old
usages." Willard Fillmore, being opposed to
any disturbance of the Compromise measures
is the man for the crisis Between him and
his constituency" says the Sun, 4" there is no
necessity of nominating Convention and it
therefore asks to be Informed, authortativey,
whether Fillmore will consent to run. He sis
the candidate pointed out by expediency! !" &c
it is "false delicacy to remain silent while
others are taking advantage of it." Who these
"others" are, the Sun does not inform us; but
We apprehend that this spontaneous movement
will result as did similar spontaneous effort
which was made last spring to further Mr.
Websters prospects.

LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE.

We have been requested to publish the fol-
lowing form of q petition, now in circulation in
Ohio and other States: -
To the Honorable the Senate of the United States
an Congress assembled.
"The undersigned, citizens of the State of
Ohio, do pray that the present laws regulating
our diplomatic intercourse with foreign ma.
tons may be so altered and amended that all
our ministers and agents, of every grade may
enjoy liberty of conscience and the rights of
American citizens in all countries where our
Government is represented, on the principle of
reciprocity, to the same extent allowed by our
laws to all foreign representatives residing at
the seat of our Government
ave believe the time has fully come for such
standard of right to be set by the Govern
ment of the United States as an example; and
that all intercourse should be withdrawn from
a nation that would not allow this right. By
complying with this wish of your petitioners
you will confer great blessing upon your fel,
low-men AS in duty bound, we will ever pray
The subject of the petition is one calling for
the attention of Congress. We presume that
there is no nation in which the Representatives
of the American People may not enjoy the
rights of conscience, so far as private Judgment
and worship in their own houses are concerned
But the public worship of Protestants is forbid
den in some Catholic countries.
The American Union has set noble exam
pie of reverence for the rights of conscience.
1t does not tolerate all forms of religious belief
and worship but it recognises such forms as
equally entitled to exemption from disturbance
or interference. II does not pretend to permit
men to worship as they please; it acknowledges
their right to do so. A striking illustration of
the freedom so characteristic of our institutions
is the erection of heather temples in one of the
States of this Union by the Chinese immigrants
and the fact that no surprise is manifested, even
by the most sectarian of our citizens, shows how
well the doctrine of the rights of conscience is
understood in this country
We agree with the prayer of the petition, 50
so far as it asks for the interference of our Gov
eminent to secure complete liberty of conscience
for our ministers residing at foreign courts; but
whether the time has yet come to renounce all
intercourse where this liberty is not conceded
is a matter for consideration. We are inclined
To view it as an ultimate resort to be tried
only when other measures of less stringent
character have failed.
