would appear that some Of the opposition have al
ready been named, and several mayors and deputy

command two hundred and eighty-six votes, and
the opposition three hundred and sixty eight This,
which is the summing up OF the free trade organs,
would give q clear majority Of eighty.two against

official organ OF the Derbyites, declares that its
party has gained few votes, and that the par
liament will consist Of three hundred and Eve con-
seryatiyes, three hundred and twenty-five liberals,
and the rest doubtful but you may be sure that
doubtful, in this instance, means opposition. Pro-
lection is buried now. Even admitting that the

Mr.. webster on tho Colony Of Liberia.

This institution has gone on from the very
beginning with much energy ard zeal. Its
friends now announce that it's success can no
longer be considered as doubtful They say it
should no longer be viewed as an experiment,
and Mr.. Webster is for having it acknowledged
as one of the great family of nations, and of
course to open diplomatic intercourse with it.
As it is a republic, perhaps the next step will be
to admit it as coequal State in our confederacy
The views of the society enlarge with the sue
cessful progress of their labors and Mr.. Web
ster, the present Secretary of State and candi-
date for the Presidency, is in favor of Congress
aiding them in prosecuting their scheme. His
views, which will be found below, we have no
doubt are intended to make an impression on
the public mind. He proposes that the public
lands be appropriated to the colonization of the
free blacks Of the United States, and there is
every reason to believe that the scheme is, here
after, to occupy the grave consideration of Con-
gress. Our own opinions, we confess, have
been from the beginning unfavorable to the in
stitution.
We have always thought that 80 long as the
operations of the society were confined to its
avowed objects, it would be nearly or entirely
useless in relieving the country from that spe-
cies of population whose condition it is its OBJ
ject to ameliorate We have never believed
that its operations, however, were intended to
be confined to the objects originally avowed,
and we were not willing to expose the South
TO the dangers of an ambiguous policy Mr.
Webster has at length thrown off the mask,
and the Southern people forewarned should be
forearmed. His proposition does not surprise
us, for we have long anticipated it. 1t is not
our purpose to discuss its enormity at this time
but we shall content ourself by utterly denying
the constitutional right Of Congress to make the
appropriation proposed, and the justice and ex-
pedency of the measure, even if it were const.
tutional. This move is another Freeso agta-
ton in different phase, and it is the means by
which the main Interior object, the abolition of
slavery, is to be effected The peace and safety
of the slave-hoding States are now to be inva-
ded by this ebonu humbug

that time that he was any thing less than an out
and out supporter of the compromise; and what
he has done that should induce the Sewardites
TO befriend him, (unless their object is to inure
him. it is difficult to imagine.
We say these things as a matter of sheer
justice to Gen. Scott, and not because he is our
favorite candidate for the Presidency But if
he were ever so much so, we would not vote for
him, unless he would avow himself frankly, over
his own proper signature, as friend to the com.
promise in all its parts The very fact that he
has been brought forward by the enemies of
those healing measures, renders necessary new
lustration on his part, which cannot be performed

protect herself in or out Of the Union, because
