A friend, says Brownlew of the Knoxville
Tenn Wing, has sent to US the Mansfield, Ohio,
Herald for Aug, 18th 1852, In which we find an
able address from the Ohio State Anti Slavery So
ciety, in favor of the election of Scott and Graham
enough to alarm every Southern voter +! The
first extract we would call attention to, in this
Address, is the following
We have to say that they differ as respects ag-
tation on the subject of Slavery. The Wing re-
solve does not 90 so far as the Democratic. The
former says
''And we deprecute all further agitation of the
question thus settled as dangerous to our peace
and we will discountendnce all efforts to continue
or renew such agitation, whenever, wherever, and
however, the attempt may be made
The latter says
"The Democratic Party will resist all attempts
at renewingin Congress out of it, the agitation
of tie S1oUery Question, under achateUer shape or
color the attempt may be made"
One ssdepfecateS, and will 'tdiscoantenance, ,,
the other will "resist''-a stronger word, with a
broader meaning. One will discountenance re-
newal of the agitation of the questions settled by
the Compromise and the Fugitive Law the other
will resist the renewal of ''the agitation of the
Slavery Question, under whatever shape or col
or
The Wing resolve does not exclude agitation
in regard to Slavery in the District the coastwise
slaves, the bearings of slavery on the question of
the annexation of Cuba, on the possible dismem
berment of Mexico, and the future annexation of
its Northern States or on the policy sometimes
attempted to be brought. to the attention of Con-
gress, of eolenizing the Tree people of color. But
the Democratic resolve does exclude all this by its
pledge to ''resst all attempts at renewing in Con-
gress or out of it, the agitation of the Slavery
Question, under whatever shape or COLOR

the party to discountenance, the agitation of the
question of slavery, as moral or religious ques-
tion but the Democratic resolve does, in the COM
prehensive, unqualified term, under "aohatever
shape or color.
In concluding this address, we beg you to re-.
member that if Pierce shall be elected in conse-
ouence of the votes diverted from Scott in the
coming election; if, as consequence, Cuba shall
be conquered and annexed, more territory arrest
ed from Merico if the sIdveholding posOer shall
be augmented and raised to the ascendant an oar
government ); iflegislation, still more trightfuI IN
atrocity than that embodied IN the Fugitive SLAVE
Lar, shall blight our national character and fame,
it will not be in your power to say, when your
country shall turn her marred visage towards you
eprovingly,-"Neye say we did it."

t'THE LAST GRAND ScoTT FIzzLE.-The mass
meeting of the Scott Wings at Columbus, on the
9th inst, is described as having been one of the
sorriest of all the sorry failures which they have
encountered everywhere in their efforts to relgh
the fires of 1910. There were present not mucl
above thousand people, and the sadness of The
} occasion was aggravated by a couple of stupiC
: speeches from old Solitude Ewing one of the eff
t fete Galphns of the Taylor administration, ant
