The Free Soil Convention at Ra.
VIENNA, Ohio.

We condense the following from our co-labor-
er the Ashtabula Sentinel, paper that mounts
the noble motto, L" No Slave Territory-No
more Slave States-The total separation of
the Northern Freemen from the support of
Slavery"
1.-The Convention at Ravenna was literally q
gathering of the people. Some three thousand
were present. All the counties of the Reserve
were represented. Columbiana, Stark, Wayne,
Morgan Warren, Hamilton, and several other
counties sent up respectable delegations, A
more intelligent audience we have never seen.
Mr.. Morse, late speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, presided.
The speeches of Messrs Chase, Lewis, and
Giddings, were able and eloquent; they leach
ed the hearts of those who listened to them
Judge Spaulding also made short address, that
excited most intense interest. He has long
been a prominent member of the Democratic
party he is now one of the Supreme Judges
of the State, and Yields an extensive influence
with his party friends. He had not previously
expressed his full and entire concurrence in our
doctrines and sentiments; and when he came
out in plain unmstakable language and avowed
his adherence to the doctrine proclaimed by our
fathers in 1776, and pledged his unyielding ad-
hereance to them, all hearts responded hearty
amen. He ayowed his independence in bold
and manly terms, and all present felt that he
spoke from a sincere heart His example will
be followed by hundreds of democrats who have
long felt the trammels of party keeping them
from the utterance of free principles
The resolutions were conceived in the right
spirit and expressed in appropriate language.

pose State Convention is to be called in due
time,
One important point will be attained BY this
meeting.
Each seemed to feel the Importance of stand
ing firmly upon our principles without comprom.
sing our doctrines.
All appeared to be encouraged, strengthened
and confirmed in these principles, and prepared
Tor the work before us. We think that great
good will result from the meeting.
In our next we hope to be able to Law before
our readers the proceedings and resolutions in
full. ~

Response by the lads;
Hurrah for Freedoms Jubilee
God bless our native land
And may we live TO hold the boon
of Freedom in our hand.
Wen live good boys-grow up and love
The land that gave us birth,
The place where Freedom loves to dwell,
Paradise on earth.
The following neat little effusion, in the vein
of Peter Farley, was composed by General Wal

casion,-as we believe was also the proceeding

We're happy, free,
And full Of glee!

refuse any aid in carrying such laws into effect,
and to use all proper means to procure the repeal
of such laws. If the Hon. Mr.. Peck will ex-
anime critically, he will find that our State la

our State Constitution, and does not conflict with
any expression IN the Constitution of the United

by the indignity offered TO the sovereignty of

DY JUDGE HUTCHINSON ON THE PAIGE
CAsE,--We hope our friends will attentively
read Judge Hutchinson's review of the no
ted Prigg case, which, with another COM
munication on a kindred subject from the
same pen will be found in this paper. We
have named the article relating to this case
more particularly, since Mr.. Peck, in his
recent letter, which must be taken as adj
dressed to the party nominating him, wheth.
er intended for the eye OF another party or
not, has built up his technical argument to
prove the consttutionality of the slave law,
principally on the decision he assumes TO
have been made in that case, without taking
into the account at all the possibility that
that decision, provided there was no dispute
about the point settled by it,may be wrong
one, and, as Daniel Webster himself evil
IDENTIFY believes, neither good law nor safe
precedent.
AS for ourself, when we are brought to
believe that the Constitution of the United
States warrants the passage of such an act
as the Fugitive Slave Law, we shall think
it high time it was amended. But, believ-
ing the argument of Mr.. Peck, and all
those who reason like him, to be unsound
and fallacious, and generally designed only
to make out a case on paper to subserve
political purposes, we reverence that in
strument, and when taken in connection
with the immortal Declaration, which the
same statesman who penned the Consttu-
ton, few years before had promulgated,
we look upon it as the sheet anchor of our
hopes in the great and desperate struggle
now at hand between liberty and slavery.

Caledonia County, we think, has opened
her campaign under very encouraging aus
pieces. The County Convention, which was
held on the 26th ult., have nominated an
excel ent ticket, on which we observe the
names Of several who are among the frmest
and most intelligent friends of free princi-

as it would be our taste eUer to have resolu-

HEART WISDOM.

IT'S weak to pine for pleasures past, or scorn
To hoard their leaves still green in memory.
Our happiest days, like frailest flowers must die
The winds that take the blossom, leave the thorn;
To some hard trouble all of US are born.
Blessed the day that's past without sigh;
Blessed day with sighs-if we can dry
The tears of those who have more cause to mourn.
How many hate who might each other love,
Did they but judge those living as if dead,
Stretched cold before them with dim stony eyes
Diviner far than all the stars above
Is one forgving work in kindness said,
One loving look that in the memory lies.

for the building of this Road, going ahead with
it, and there is doubt but that will be completed
this time. The Road will be of vast importance to
large number of people, who have heretofore had to
travel long distance, find market for their pro-

those people will find it to their advantage to visit
Plymouth; here they will find ready market for
the sale of their produce, and make purchases of
goods reasonable terms anywhere else, for
they will find merchants not only honorable in
the transaction of business, but clever of people,

DESTRUCTION OF SHIP WHALE. The fol-
lowing remarkable case of the prodigious powers of
whale is related by gentleman who has arrived in
Boston from New York, where he was in company
with Capt. Deblois, the master of the unlucky ship,
who arrived in that city Saturday, afternoon in the
steamship Cherokee:
Capt. Debois, of the whaeship Ann Alexander,
of New Bedford, stated that the Goth of August
last, when in latitude dogs. so Minis. S., longitude
lO2 degs W.. while in pursuit of whales, two of his
boats that weresout in pursuit were attacked by a
large sperm whale, and completely demolished. The
captain promptly ordered third boa, and proceed
ed TO the assistance of the men, who were thrown
into the by the destruction of their boats. He
succeeded in rescung all of them, and reached his
ship in safety. But the whale becoming more frantic
with rage, Immediately directed his for the
ship, and struck her abreast of her foremas njuring
her SO badly that she instantly filled. All hands took
to the boats the 22d, and were subsequently
picked up by the ship Nantucket, Capt. Gibbs, of
Nantucket, and arrived at Payta Sept. Is, whence
the captain took passage for New York, on his way
home.
This is certainly extraordinary instance Of the
fearful capabilities of the whale, and We believe the
like has occurred bat once before, which happened in
the of Nantucket ship many years ago.
