aud known, that in New York, especially
where this opposition is said to exist, the only
Pr.acipte upon which it is based is, that Mr..
FILLMORE did sign the Compromise acts, and
does enforce them.
AS proof Of this, we copy an article from the
New York "Cortlandt County Whig," coun-
~ IN the last Congress and The Congress pre-
cedlng represented by Wing, and in this by
an Abolition Democrat--the change, of course,
effected by driving off National Wings and
their principles, and substituting in their place
Abolition Wings and Abolition principles. In
this county is the celebrated McGRAwvILLE
COLLEGE, where blacks and whites, male and
female, are educated in the same college, at
the same classes, and where they eat and drink
at the same tables. The editor exclaims, in
speaking of the return to Baltimore of the re
cent runaway slave:
"ANoTHER ViorIM.--A pcaceable, unoffending
man, has been arrested in New York city charged
with the arocious crime of being fugitive slave,
and the mean and despicable informcrs who have
hunted him out, revelling in their wretched and
contemplate vocation.
"Ths Fugitive Slave law is an outrage co great
that it cannot endure. II this Republic does not in
tend to become a mark for other nations to gaze
at az proof that there 10 no ouch thing as real
freedom in the world, it will yet tear this infamous
Law from the statute book. is I'M an0us ia,o,
and DT. Fillmore ought TO haze pstoed it He
grossly misreprtsenisd his nativs State ,chen he
signed it,"
1t is fact susceptible of literal demonstra-
ton that every sol disant Wing paper in the
interior OF the State of New York, thus oppos-
ing Mr.. FILLMORE, is opposing him upon this
principle-that he did not ueto acts of Con
gress, or that he thus enforces them; and with
such papers it is cardinal principle that ''the
Infamous law" "be torn from the siatute-book,"
and every slave who thus "sl,aU be delivered
up," con claim" is ''another victim"
1t the WHO'S in other parts Of New York
had surrendered themselves up to Abolitionism,
as in this Cortlandt county, where is this Nc
Granville hybrid seminary, Free Democracy, as
there, would have had Its way. and the Con-
stitution would soon be nullfed by force and
main, as at Syracuse, and in blood and muir
der, as at Christina. Democracy, natural
Democracy, as educated at the McGrawville
seminanes North and the Secession seminaries
South only rallies under the CONSTITUTION AND
THE LAWS" when the WHIGs lead the van
guard, and inspire them with confidence, as
have done the Union WINGS Of Georgia, Ala
baIna, and Mississippi, and the WEBSTER
and FILLMORE Wines of the Northern States

pile of ''the Constitution and the Laws, (" Demo

BALTIMORE, April 1916 p. IN.
Much anxiety continues to be felt by the Wings
OF Baltimore as to the probable action Of the Con-
grcssonsl caucus in the selection of the city in
which to hold the National Wing Convention. The
central position Of Baltimore, the conservative
views Of lite citizens on all national TOPICS and the
unbounded hospitality and beauty of its ladies' are
all points that will doubtless be strongly urged by
opr worthy Representative, Mr.. Walsh. The whir
lades Of the city. with whom, being bachelor, he
is universal fayori,e. look TO him with confidence
TO bring this great national convocaisn to the City
Of Monuments, and warrant him in giving the as.
surance that the "strings Of their latches" will be
outside 20 ten thousand Of the young Wings who
may accompany them TO ratiiy The nominations.
Mayor Jerome, Of Baltimore, like Mayor Lenor
OF Washington, has deemed il proper TO publicly
contradict the alse statements made by the noto.
rious Lcahey, at Charleston, with respect TO his
approval OF his infamous lectures against the Cath
olics. SO far from desiring him 10 lecture in the
city, he says that nc cndcsvored to prevent him
from obtaining ball, but deemed that he had no
right TO otherwise interfere with him.
The first car load Of -four from beyond Cumbcr.
land was received in Baltimore this morning over
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. 1t was ground Al
MorgsDtown mills, ON the Monongshcla river,
