November is rendered SO certain that
we presume our readers, like orr
selves, care little about looking at
individual changes in particular To-
calities. Occasionally, however, it
may interest them to read about
what the democracy elsewhere are
doing. We CLEAN the annexed items
from our exchanges by a single mail.
INDIANA The Washington Union
publishes the following extract of a
letter from one Of the most promi-
nent citizens and most sagacious poll
ticians of the Northwest. Our OPP
ponents say that they have hopes of
carrying Indiana; but it is naked
and corrupt pretence, like that put
forth by them with regard to Vir
ginia, having no other object than
deception - Ameacan.
Il have just returned from vis-
it to some dozen counties, where my
business led me, and | assure you |
have never seen 50 much zeal and
earnestness among the democrats
| did not he;ir of one who did not go
heartily for our glorious nominees,
Pierce and King; and | kept list Of
the wings who told me they would
! not support Scott, and find upon it
the names of thirty-seven, being
about one out Of every ten with
whom | conyersed. The democrats
are eager 70 bet on Pierce carrying
this State by 5000, but no Wigs
will risk their money on any MAORI
ty. This county iMarion,) which
gave Taylor SO majority, will GER
ainly give Pierce $50, and bvery
county bordering will do the Fame.

The AMERICAN ANTI-SLAyERY SOCIETY holds
It's annual meeting the same day at Rochester,
New York, and Messrs. GARRISON, PHILLIPS.

ing. This Society would not have been driven
from the city-to use the language of its
friends-I think, if the speakers had used more
circumspection, prudence and good nature.
TRUTH. on the subject of slavery, can be spoken
here boldly, and without serious molestaton. if
those who utter it do not appear to provoke
wrath and opposition. As evidence of this. we
may refer to the resolutions adopted last year
by the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery
Society, and to the speeches ON that occasion

day. The Rev. J. G. Fee of Kentucky, was
chosen President; and George w Julian of |
Indiana, Fred. Douglass, C. c. Burleigh and
Russell Everett of Pennsylvania Vice Presi- !
dents The proceedings are unimportant
The following resolutions were adopted by
tins body to-day, declaring the unalterable
purpose OF the abolltionists to continue under
all circumstances, the discussion of the anti
slavery question. That, under no circumstances,
can any true-hearted abolitionist engage in or
connlve at any compromise involving the slight
est concession to any pro~slavery requsiton
The following resolution was offered and
warmly debated but not finally acted upon:
Resoiued, That slaveholding is in itself an act
of unreasonable wickedness, and the American
church and clergy of all denominations con-
nected with it, are held emnently responsible
EUening Session from the Com
mlttee were introduced, declaring that this is
not less the native land of the negro than the
white man, and that a proposition to remove
the former to any other country is in every
way unjust and imprudent as would be II
proposition to remove the latter that when the
friends of Colonization manifest the same de-
sire to promote the interest of negroes at home
that they do abroad, it may then be time for
the cOlored people to consider the Colonization
scheme but, for the present the oolored peo-
pie should turn deaf ear to all Colonization
agents,
The resolutions were supported by several
speakers, and opposed by none, and, finally
were unanimously adopted.

Mr.. Hendricks Of Indiana and Mr.. Smith of
Alabama, on the Homestead bill, were unim-

Mr. Stephens, given in the Baltimore Sun. 1t
presents the gist Of it
Mr. Stephens of Georgia took the floor, and
after aiding to the policy which had been re-
Gently pursued, by which hundred millions of
acres of land had been given away, expressed
himself as being opposed to the passage of the
bill before the Committee until some general
system of disposng Of the public domain shall
have been adopted. In every free and repre-
sentative country he said, there must exist
parties.
He did not rise to defend any party or fac
ton, but to lay down grave fundamental prin-
ciples without which no Government can be
sustained Parties, he contended, must be
organized with reference to the predominant
questions of the day and the great political
question at present in this country he consld-
cred to be the law for the reclamation Of fugi-
tive slaves. The majority Of the people he be-
lieyed to be in favor Of the performance Of all
constitutional obligations; and no platform
could stand unless it were based upon tho Con-
stitution, nor would any Administration be
sustained unless il were actuated by such prin-
ciples. -,
He went on to state that il, which he did not
admit the North would not stand up for the
Constitution, he should not care how soon the
confederacy were rent asunder. lie expressed
himself opposed to National Conventions, and
