The Pennsylvania Slavery Convention.

Fellow Citizens said Western nspi-
rant 10 n sent in Congress, | am in favor Of
the Mexican War; was in favor of the last
War, aud fellow citizens pledge you my
honor ! nm iu favor OF the next War;
The orator was n Democrat, of course all
excessive patriotism burns under the belt of
one Of the merrifed, and we take, for giant
ed so orthodox politician was elected to
Congress.
Whatever may be thought of the quality
Of Our hero's patriotism, il appears TO us TO
be very much of the same stamp with the
cllcrycsceut patriotism of the late Democrat
ic Slavery Convention, which nominated
Col. Higler. That body declared its readi-
ness 10 obey the laws of Congress, passed
for the purpose OF settling the slavery agiiu-
iion. This they might do, aud so declared,
from sense Of duty as good ciiizens.' But
they did not stop here. Like our war loving
hero, they 20 further and take another
| chance for pure love of tie thing not only
do our Democracy obey the Fugitive Slave
Law from sense of duty they do it from
/ love of Slavery, Of the thing itself-Slave-
/ holders. The man who declared limseli
for the next war was no whit more ridicu-
lous or corrupt than the northern men who
90 beyond their duty as citizens TO proclaim
their trucking readiness to kiss the feet o
the Shareholders of the South.
For the proof that we do not slander these
volunteer paudcrers TO slavery and the South
we copy The resolution alluded TO, italicising
that passage which is akin TO going for the
next war.
Resolved, That the Democratic party oi
Pennsylvania arc true TO the Union, TO the
Constitution and the Laws, aud will faith
! fully observe and execute, so far as in them
| lies, all the measures of compromise adopt
ed 10y the late Congress fqS the purpose OF
settling the question arising out of domestic
slavery; and his not only from a sense Of d,t-
| %, as good citizens Of ihe republic, but diso
.jtom he Kind and .Efair nal ceilings wlich they
! cherish totedras their brethren Of The siapehold
ing Siaies.'
We think we see the manifestations oI
disgust and contempt with which the high
minded Sous of the South receive these
proiltrs of self prostitution from Northern
men. They deserve only scorn and con
tempt, and we shall be surprised il'they mee
with any other return from the Southern
mcn.---Com. Journal.

Plan of another Elccllonccrlng Tour.

Some of the Ilunker papers are desirous
that Mr. Webster shall take tour through
the South "to eXlpan his views on the great
topic of the day." They see the necessity
of II prompt endeuyor, to undo the mischief
done by certain expressions IN his late Bun
kOme speeches at Buffalo and Syracuse,
which unfortunately have been reported at
the South, for which latitude they were never
intended. The following extracts from South
crn writers Illustrate the persuasions which
have convinced Daniels supporters Of the
importance of a journey to the South They
also show that the shareholders are not so
readily deceived hyhis hollow wordsuEd base
reachcrics as he has calculated.
THE Richmond Examiner which bears the
reputation OF being the ablest political paper
in Virginia, alluding to Daniels Buffalo
speech says:
No fear have we that the people of this
country will ever he deceived into making
him their President. They hare an insiintiirt
perception Of his nature. When lac has done
one OF these great speeches, there is n little
phosp osphorescent glmmer of popularity for
him in one corner of the country TN
! glare of rotton mackercl ut night-but il
| quickly dies away. There is no chance fol
such man MS that. Salt won't save him.
A correspondent of the n. Y. Herald, re
ports conversation with n Virginia gentle
man. in reference to that same Buffalo speech
in which the Nirginian says:
"No Doctor, Mr. Webster is not n reliabl
man. lie did not turn the tide,
was the tide that turned him and then n
that he did was to pledge himself to III
South, as far as his constitutional oath requil
ed him, and not step farther. Not n stcI
When you hear Il man repcatin
on every occasion that he intended TO holt
| bis ground without ilinching, watch him, 70
! he will dodge you the first Glance. Mr. Web
stcr has done il. lie has lodged us OF tho
South, and we shall hold him responsible
Admit the seeming consistency of The Bui-
lalo speech, with the great suecch in the SEN
ate, where is the "odor OF nationality in the
one which prevails in the other? II is not
TO he found. IL may suit Mr.. Webster to
tumper with us, and to pander TO Northern
prejudice before Il Northern crowd, to for
swear his nationality as an American, and to
boast of his being a Northern man, with that
ingrained, inborn, inherent, ineradicable hos
liliiy of Northern man TO slavery; hut that
will not suit us. 1t may be sport in BIfalo,
but il is death to u.s."
Surely Daniels hopes need special effort
TO revive them in the South, and we suspect
that his health will soon require jorney TO a
warmer climate.

CnEvIoT, Ohio, June 10, 1851.
FRIEND RoBINsoN: Your Correspondent
of Cincinnati labors under mistake about
the character of the Anti-Slvery Convcn-
lion. 1t was not " Garrisonian Convcu-
ton, as he suppusos; nor do know that
there were hall dozen Garrsenian Aboli-
lonists,. who attended the meeting. 1t was
called principally by those who never had
any connection with that party; and it is do
ing great injustice to the cordial spirit OF
the old Liberty men, TO attempt to show that
only few Of us engaged in it. twas cor
dial and cheerful union of the friends of the
slave Of all parties, with speech uniettcred,
dnd spirits free TO discuss the subject of slave
ry in all lis bearings. Your correspondent
ought himself to have been present, and then
he would not have set up mistaken de-
leuce of Messrs. Lewis, Boyuton and Chase.
These gentlemen, doubt not, had much
better excuse for not taking part, than the
one offered in their behalf, aud one proba-
bly, rather ofa private than public nature
know that your correspondent did not de-
sire TO misrepresent the matter, and is pro-
badly entirely unconscious of having done
so. Still this is no good reason for leaving
his mistake uncorrected.
Yours in ffaterna bonds,

A Decision.

A petition was presented nt the term OF
the Circuit Court OF Cook County, Ill, recently
held, for the writ of Hdbeds Corpus on be-
half of an individual who claimed that he
was held imprisoned contrary TO law, hnv.
ing been arrested by virtue OF warrant is
sued by Justice Lowe upon an affidavit, in
which he was charged with having stolen,
in the State Of Michigan, Sl,270 in gold
aud silver, the property Of Messrs. Liyiugs-
ton, Fargo & Co., there having been no re-
QUESTION by the Governor OF Michigan up
on the Governor of Illinois, but tic prisoner
was proceeded against, under an Illinois act,
concerning ingilives from justice.
The question being raised on the constlu-
tionality of that act, conending that the sub
ject was exclusively within the control of
Congress, and that, therefore the State law
was nuliiy.
! Judge Dickey, decided that the State law
was unconstitutional, inasmuch as il was
passed in aid Of The Act of Congress of
1913, and the State Legislature have no
power TO lcgislate citlcr to hinder or assist
the laws OF the United States.
The prisoner was ordered TO be discharg-
ed from any further Imprisonment, on the
ground set up in the petition.-C Chicago jour.
We see by the above decision, that fugi-
tiyes from Justice are much more favorably
treated in this country than tigitives from
Injustice. Had this fugitive belonged TO the
latter class, not only the State officers, but
citizens might have been obliged to ussist in
capturing aud OBTAINING him, aud would
have been exposed TO heavy penalties If
they had refused when called on. But be-
ing onya fugitive from justice, and the Unit
ed States not being particularly interested in
catching him, he is left to run at large with
out further molestaton.- Wis. f. Dem.

FEARFUL REsPoNBITY'-Noo one pretends
to deny that il is the religious bodies of Amer
lea who MAINTAIN slavery, or that, il they were
inilhiul TO God and mun, this iniquily would
at once terminate. Tie church holds the key
ofthe slaves dungeon, aud she will not unlock
the door, 'nnd let the captive go free Lett
be rcmembred, that the existence of slavery
is more to be deprecated in the United States,
than in any other part of the world where it
still prevails. For there it sins with greater
light. The population of the States is now
over twenty millions, and its increase is SO
rapid that it is estimated that it will amount
to one hundred aud fifty millions, in another
century. The United States are the asylum
of the poor and oppressed of other land.
And apart from the mere consideration OF
sympathy with the colored race, is it not of
infinite importance 10 the whole world, that
such a country should aim, in the might OF
Christian truth and impartial liberty, TO purify
herself from the foul and disgraceiul pollution
of slavery ?-LOndOn Morning .4auerliser.

W We have been requested, by sew
eral gentlemen who reside on Broad
street, TO call attention to the subject Of
cattle being stationed on that street.
We learn that many Of the turner's from
the Island are in the habit Of leaving
their oxen and other cattle, tor hpurs
together, on that street, TO the great an-
noyance Of persons who live there, and
also of others having occasion 10 pass
on the street The cattle lie down on
the walks, TO the Inconvenience OF pas
sers-by, and often frighten women aud
children who are in the vicinity. There
is a State law against this and any per-
son aggrieved by the nuisance has a
right 10 drive such cattle TO the Pound,
and the owners will have to pay the le-
gal fees before they can obtain them
again. These gentlemen have no dis
position 10 resort TO these stringent
means Tor their protection; yet, If the
nuisance is continued, they will he COM
PEELED tO,--and they will also apply TO
The Town Council for other relie.. We
trust that those who have heretofore
been in the habit Of leaving their cat
tie in Broad street, will take our hint,
and remedy the difficulty themselves,
without compelling any one to enforce
the law against them. The public
streets are not proper places to leave
cattle in we are constantly hearing Of
irightful accidents in other places, by
persons being terribly gored by oxen,
cows, &c. and we trust that speedy
steps will be taken TO prevent anything
oi the kind here.
