particularly the Fugitive Law and Compro-
mise, do not oppose Mr. Fillmore because he Is
their antagonist in Principle, but because
he does not give them fair share of the loaves
and fishes This is the TribuneS representa-
ton, not ours. Now, what does this mean
"Mr. Fillmore. Mr.. Webster, or whoever you
may be- give us, Wings of certain stripe u
fair chance at the Offices, and you snail nave
our votes, no matter what you believe, even
though you hold the doctrines OF devils"
The editor, in another part of the same art-
Gle, avows his own purpose, and the reason
therefor, as follows:
"If the States which can vote for no Wing
candidate shall. under the vicious machinery
of National Convention, insist effectually
on putting Mr. Fillmore upon US Tor another
term, we expect to support him. For, while
we cannot approve his proscriptlve and irrlta-
ting course on the COMPROMISE question, we 10
not hope for any practical alternative 3ut
candidate equally Objectionable on that head,
while bitterly, fatally hostile to those vital
principles of Public Policy-Protecton' RIVER
and Harbor Improvement &C. &c-wherem
we heartily agree with Mr.. Fillmore. we ex-
pect hereafter, as heretofore, to give our vote
and efforts to whatever candidates, among
those having a chance of election, are COM
mended to our judgment as likely, If chosen, to
do the most good attainable"
Thus speaks the leading anti-slavery editor
of the Wing Party.
In view of the facts mentioned, have we not
sufficient ground for the prediction, that no
matter what the action and nominations OF the
National Wing Convention, the Wings OF the
North, as Parsy, will abide by themt Ii
this the ground that all Wing anti-slavery
men intend to occupy! What say those gen.
temen in Congress who have hitherto so brave
ly stood by the cause of Human Rights? Are
Messrs Stevens, Howe, Allison Mann, Fowler,
Scudder, Campbell, Newton, Welch, Sackett
Schoolcraft, Walbridge, prepared to adopt
the policy of Mr.. Seward and the New York
Tribunea If not, what do they intend to do
That is a question which thousands of voters,
indisposed to follow the lead of the New York
Tribune and the famous Wing caucus, would
ike to hear answered Slaveholding members
rise in their places explicitly state their de-
mands, announce distinctly what they will, and
what they will not do; but thus far we have
heard but two members from the North who,
in behalf of themselves and their constituents.
have announced distinctly their purpose. We
mean, Messrs. Townshend and Giddings. How
much longer is this Northern reserve to be
kept up!

for the National Era by DR.. ArLEE, of Phila-
delphia, whose death is just announced in the
DaDers % that city. Dr. Alice was an excel

CALL FOR AN ANTI-sLAvERY CHRISTIAN CON.
VENTI0N

Christianity is the remedy provided by God
Tor all the wants of the word-political social
and spiritual The church of Jesus Christ is
the dlvinely appointed agency to apply this
remedy; This she does by preaching the
truth, and by the consistent holy lives of her
members
When the church becomes rcmiss in duty,
and ceases 10 bear decided testimony against
every form of sin, the effect upon the world
soon becomes apparent.
That this is the case, so far as regards the
larger popular organizations of the land, is but
too manifest. There is not only great want of
pointednesS in their testimony against the great
sins of the country, but to an alarming extent
direct participation in and advocacy of these
wrongs This is especially true Of the sin of
slavery
Believing that Christians are called upon to
put forth special effort to stay the tide of
pro-slavery and other corrupting influences
that seem to be desolating the popular churches
OF the land and sweeping away the very found
atoms OF morality, 1t is resolved TO hold an
Anti-Slarcry Christian Convention in Cam
bridge, on the first Tuesday of MAY ut O'Clock
p M
The object of the Convention il to devise the
best means of bringing the moral power of
the church 10 bear in the overthrow of the
strong holds of sin, and the dissemination of a
pure Gospel.
The call is extended TO all the Ministers
and members Of all evangelical churches, not
engaged in the practice of slayeholding,

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The conduct of the Washington Union to-
wards the Democracy of Ohio and its repre-
sentative in the Senate, Mr.. Chase, upon which
we lately commented, has awakened indigna-
ton among the liberal Democrats of that
State. On our first page, we republish spirited
articles from several of their newspapers ex-
pressing their views with great freedom. They
are signs not to be disregarded.

THE AMISTAD CASE.

The old Amistad claim repeatedly rejected
in both branches of Congress, is again brought
forward. Monday, in the Senate, Mr.. Mason,
of Virginia, reported bill from the Committee
on Foreign Relations, to indemnify the owners
of the Amistad, who were adjudged by our Su-
therefore not the own w the negroes they
claimed
Mr. Mason urged it with much earnest
ness, and strove to have it made special
order but Mr. Hale by timely movement,
accompanied with a few pertinent remarks,
completely baffed him, and the bill took its
place among the general orders, to come up,
nobody knows when.

Is it Tor voting against allowing Mr.. Brooke,

unclouded. He occasionally speaks to his

is perfectly resigned. His physicians think
he cannot live till morning.

widows of Revolutionary officers and soldiers
jor. fve gears after The 4h Of March, 1886, the
pension or annuity that would have been al
lowed to their husbands if living when the act
passed. In 1871 bill was passed the House
of Representatives to extend the provision of
1888. When reached the Senate, FRANK

against those to whom he is indebted, under

Liberty!

slcGsIent and Truthful.

Major Alexander d. Bradford, of Mssis=
sippi, Major of the lst Mississippi Regiment
of Rinemen, delivered speech at Memphis
lately, in which he thus referred to certain.
charges made against Gen. Scott, by Col.
Jeff: Davis, few days previously, at the same
place:
"Coonel Davis told you, fellow citizens,
that in all of those qualities which command
the affections and the confidence of those
around him General Scott is singularly wan
ting, being proud, petulant, vain, and pre-
sumptuous.
III it be PROUD to pay strict attention to
the wants OF the poor soldier-so visit the
dreary and pestilenial hospital and wipe the
moisture from the fevered brow of the sick
to wait upon the cholera patients of the army
to raise the dying soldier from his CORY bed
on the battlefield and staunch his bleeding
wounds-if it be proud to do these things,
then Gen. Scott is very proud and naughty
man.
''If it be PETULAET to curb the restless
and unrully Office of the army-to hold them
down with hand of iron, and make them
behave themselves like good soldiers and
gentlemen; if it be petulant to be slight on
INC OH,CcTS anu pOOu on tne men III THIS
be petulant, then Gen. Scott is something of
a retulant, and peevish man.
''Ii it is VAIN to apparel himself on the eve
of battle according TO the rules and regu-
lations of the service, his golden epaulets on
his shoulders, and his tall plume towering
above him; so that friend and foe may know
his grade-and then to plunge into the battle
where the conflict is iiercest, where the bull
laaSr al i,Ia nj .l,o
reigns deadest-if this be vain, am afraid
Gen. Scott is a van-glorious man! Tremcn-
dous applause.
eff to know that he possesses as much
skill, promptitude, and judgment as any
man OF the age, in the planning of campaign,
reducing fortress, or in drawing up the pro-
gramme of a pitched battle, SO clear in it's
details, SO aus cious in its success, that il
w4uld seem as if the victory was won before
the battle was foaght-if this be rREsrMp-
ITO: s, then we must conclude With Col.
DAVIS, that Gen. Scott is very presuppiaO us
man." tCheers.

The Last Word.

As the Weekly Journal is issued 10 day,
we shall not have another opportunity of adj
dressing our friends in the country before the
election. We hope they will be impressed
with the importance Of the duty which they,
rs American citizens, will be called upon to
perform next week. in voting for one or the
other candidate for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency of this Union. We have been
endeavoring for weeks or months past, to
enlighten readers in respect to the two can
didates for the Presidency, and TO impress
upon all who have read, the fact, that there IS
wide difference not only between the two
men, but in the principles which they indi-
yidually profess, and the policy which the one
or the other may be expected to adopt, in case
of his election. From these things, the con-
clusion is inevitable to every honest minded,
thinking man-that the election of General
Scott will be continuing the present able adj
ministration, which has given as much salts
faction to the people as probably any other
since the days of Washington-or the cleo
ton of Gen. Pierce will be an experiment, ard
which promises to be a most dangerous
one, not only to the interests of the West, in
view Of his past hostility to those interests,
but to the Union, if he but adopt the policy
which leading Democrats in the country de-
clare will only satisfy "Young America
Now choose you between these men. Act
out you- own convictions. If there be Wing
in the "Pocket" of Indiana who thinks diff
erently from US, who thinks Gen. Pierce will
make better, bolder, more efficient President
of the United States than Winfield Scott, lie;
him uote for Pierce, and not permit any man
to control his vote, or dictate to him action
contrary to his own judgment or conscience
Winfield Scott, the tried, true and devoted
a better man for the Presidency than Gen.
Pierce, let him roe for Scott without fear Of
the party lash which would seek to make him
do otherwise, and scorning the dictation oil
petty leaders in his own party, who would
make themsels es especial guardians of the
consciences and will of the rank and file oil
the Democratic army. We have nothing
further to say. Go to the polls and vote as
freeman who despise thraldom in whatever
form it presents itself. Vote as the interests
ofyour country seem to say you should vote
Act by the dictates of your own firm convic
tions, and whatever the result you will be
blameless to vOur own consciousness and tC
the eyes of good men.

NOBLE SExrmENTs.-I said to them that

NOBLE SEYTiMENTs-I said to them that a
man travelling through this State would
nowhere be without school house or church
of G I'd under his eye; and where these go
together, faith and public credit are inevitable.
And this is truth which cannot be too often
impressed upon the mind. Without the
union of education and religion, there is 10
faith in man; no, nor in woman either. -
From General Scotts'S Speech at Dayton.
We have taken the pains to extract and to
isolate from the admirable speech recently
delivered by General Scott in reply to the
welcome OF the citizens OF Dayton, the fore
going sentiment, as one worthy to be en-
craven on the American mind, and to be
cherished as a moral axiom by a people
who regard the diffusion of knowledge as a
public be,.efacton, andwhose institutions
rest upon the foundation Of civil and rell-
gious liberty. 1t is upon such high prin-
ciples as these that Gen. Scott would admin
lister the Government il called to the Presi-
dency. His private life and his public career
are examples that have attracted as high adj
miraton as those great deeds which have
borne his name in honor TO the remotest
corners of the earth. Under such Chief
Magistrate the Government would be carried
en- with purity, economy, and integrity
Corrupt and designing politicians would be
made to feel the strong arm oil faithful SEN
tinel, and to realize that the intrigues of dema-
gogues could find no favor under Winfield
Scott philadelphia North American.
