the destiny Of the Union would never beimpeded
by traitors, madmen, or fanatics. The Union IS as
safe NON as in the days of Washington He said
that MIR Webster's participation in denOuncing
notification in 1888 would forever endear him to
the American people, even had his public acts
closed there But he had added to his laurels,
and would live for all time in the hearts Of CRATE
full republicans
Pretty good for the circumstances, and the Gov
ernOr administered just rebuke, when he told
Mr.. Webster that the occasion was not TIT for
the discussion Of partisan questions; but he
stretched his conscience just little in the last
sentiment
Several gentlemen, Mr.. Cooper among them,
followed, and made up abundantly for the Gov
ernor's lack, in adulation of their guest. Mr.
Penniman was rather independent. Z" lie said
he would not discuss the subjects that might come
before the Legislature, but would do that IN
his place at the proper time. He saw no danger
in the present nor past condition of the country,
in reference to the stability of the Union. If we
did our duty, all would be right. II there were
any States that thought proper to leave the
Union, he was in favor Of applying Mr.. Clays
remedy-to test the strength of the Government
in enforcing the laws passed by Congress"
So ended the Harrisburg demonstration.

ANTI.SLAVERY PAPERS.

strong effort is now being made in influential
quarters, TO stife free discussion TO silence the
pulpit, and especially to kill off the antislavery
newspapers Under these circumstances we sub
NIT to liberal readers that it is the duty of all
anti-slavery men to aid in extending the circu-
lation Of anti-slavery publications, both by Civ
ing them their own patronage and inducing
others to do so. We believe that the anti slavery
press Of the country is not supported as it should
be by the friends Of freedom, some even patron
ining pro-savery papers at the expense of liberal
publications. Even now, when the nti.savery
press is sustaining severer pressure than was
ever before brought to bear upon it, many who
profess to be Aboltionists, and to be opposed to
the Fugitive Slave Law, are neglecting to
strengthen those papers which earnestly protest
against it and demand its immediate repeal.
This is so in our own vicinity, ms we'll as else
where. II ought not to be so. 1t would not be
so, if there were proper degree Of esrnestness
felt in the matter These remarks are of general
application but our readers, as well as the read
ers of other anti-slavery papers, may turn them
to account, IL they ohoose.-Esser County freeman
What the Freeman says, We presume, is true
We doubt whether there is an anti-slavery press
in the country which does not feel the effect Of
the tremendous influences brought to bear to
still agitation, and force the Compromise upon
the Public. As this Is dull season Of the year

that he may put in creatures of his own, 1t LOOKS
little suspicious.
When Senators grow popular with women, pa
tently receive their kisses in public places, be-
come the recipients of presents, and the amiaoie
victims of receptions given with public ceremo-
MES calculated to captivate public attention, 1t
looks little suspicious.
When the most prominent member of an Ad-
miuistration is forever figuring in the newspa-
pers as everybody's correspondent, or making
speeches about the country as an itinerant pa
triot, il looks a little more than suspicious.
We commend these small matters to the atten-
ton of the Presidents organ, and submit whether
these movements" also are Calculated to in
jure, if not destroy, the prospects or interests
they seem intended to promote"

THE TWO DR0MI0S.

The Southern Press and the National Era are
engaged in assailing the editor of the Union and
his claim for relief from Congress, 1t is difficult
to determine whether gross ignorance or blind
malice preponderates in their attacks Washing
ton Union.
The question is not difficult to solve in your
case, for it is impossible that you should be igno-
rant that the Era has never assailed the editor Of
the Union and his claim. On the contrary, were
it not for your " blind malice" you would ackowl-
edge that we expressed the hope that the new
Congress would examine carefully into this claim,
and, should unavoidable loss on the performance
of the contract be proved, vote money enough to
indemnify Mr.. Richie and secure him fair
profit on his work The communication published
in last weeks Era, on the subject, was from the
pen of a Democrat of this District, in opposition
to our views.

DR.. BRAKES LETTERS ON SLAVERY.

Dr. Drake Of Cincinnati has been publishing
in the National HHelHgenesr series of Letters on
Slavery, addressed to Dr. Warren of Boston
The btelligenoer speaks highly Of them, though
dissenting from some of the views Of the author.
DR.. Drake is a man of ability and position,
endowed with an ample fund Of miscellaneous
knowledge, and distinguished as bold and an
ingenious theorist His letters are smoothly and
elegantly written, and are invested with an air of
philosophic GOODNESS and candor, but so far as we
can see, throw no new light upon the subject Of
Slavery
The first letter. which occupies more than four
columns in the HaelieHeer, is taken up with the
elaboration of the proposition that throughout
the slavehodng States the condition of slaves is
far better than it was in former times-that they
are better fed, clothed, and lodged less severely
punished receive more religious training; and,
in all respects are more cared for than they were
forty, thirty, or even twenty years ago" He pro-
ceeds to speak in detail, from personal observa-
ticn generally from carefully considered evil
dence at other times, of the condition of slaves,
in regard to lodging, clothing, diet, tobacco and
whiskey, labor and rest, amusements and sleep,
punishments, care of the sick, care of the aged
and permanently infrm, care Of children, mar
rage, religious instruction.
On these points he furnishes no statistics, but
simply gives his testimony and that derived from
the information of others. We need not say that
this does not supply infallible data for an argu-
ment. The testimony of Hall, Trollope, and
Dickens, respecting the condition and character
of the American People, differ very widely from
our own impressions, as well as from those of Sir
Charles Lyell. A Presbyterian cOlpOrteur, sent
out by an Association in the East, will present a
view of the moral state of the West, which the
observations of Methodist itinerant will scarcely
sustain.
Still, we are disposed, from the best observa-
ton and inquiry we have been able to make, to
concur generally in the proposition stated by DR..
Drake and we rejoice to believe it true at is
a most important and capital fact" says the Doc
tor, that should address itself with power to
the minds and hearts of the People of the free
States 1t clearly sets forth that principles of
great efficacy are in operation; that what we call
the spirit of the age has made its way into the
slave States, and is working out the most benef-
cal results Its influence is, of course, not equal
on the hearts of all masters but even those who
feel it least are affected in the treatment of their
slaves by the opinions and example of those on
whom it is operative"

II is as common as to hear men speak of the

the CITY OF BOSTON

Is an an awfully conscientious place
They were unable to empanel jury there
last week because the jurors had some
doubt as to the consttu,ionalty of the law.
We do not exactly understand the code OF
morality, if any they have, which permits
and encourages the breach of well estab-
lished law to prevent doubtful one from
being executed. These Massachusetts, men
probable have invented a new standard by
which to measure consciences. They ought
to be instructed that law is constitutional
until it is decided by the Supreme Court
to be otherwise, and that jurors have Moth
ing TO do but apply it TO the case in hand.
Such conscicnces We blush for their
owners, and would rather be slave to a
Georgia planter than serve a conscience
that is offended by the execution of law.
We shall begin to believe that it was no!
patriotism which began the revolution in
that state, but spirit of resistance and
lawIessneSs which is tending to subvert
those institutions reared and cherished by
better men.
We had hoped to see those rioters and
law breakers, like Elizur Wright and his
kind, severely punished; ; but the present
appearances indicate that though guilty
they will escape. No such miserable sub.
tcrfuge as conscience should deter the judge
from swearing men as jurors, or induce
their discharge when they will not bring
in a verdict. Better let US have open anC
direct perjury than this willul equivoca
ton and evasion of the obligations OF al
oath. The former crime will subject th,
perpetrator TO fitting punishment; while
the latter, though quite as heinous an Outrage
Of the laws Of God, has no penalty affixed
10 it by human laws.

drilled we have seen for some time. Maj.
J. E. Nluench was the officer in command
The drill was alike creditable to the Off
GERS and men.
The effects of the new militia law are
just beginning to be felt. Instead of the
annual muster of a regiment Of men, in
every imaginable dress and without arms,
to tramp about the field without order or
discipline, for two or three hours, we have
batalions of handsomely uniformed and
well drilled companies, fit to take the field
at any time that their country needs their

D~ June has come, June bright with
roses, balmy with the breath of new mown
hay, beautiful with green waving grain,
springing corn, sunny days and soft sweet
nights, with the cool breezes of spring
mingIing with the Sultry heat of summer,
the maiden bursting from the bud of youth
into the blooming beauty of womanhood.
We think this announcement necessary, as
many of our readers may justly have had
some doubt on the subject. Indeed as we
sit by a cheerful coal fire TO night, we
are in some doubt ourselves as to the sea-
son, but calm and close and dispassionate
consultation with the Almanac, settled the
matter. We say, without fear of contra
dction, this is the month of June.
