AT the close of the reading some one in

This raised laugh, and the President,

a. Whether the present law is worse
than its predecessor is not the question,
but whether it is one ht to be made. Mr..

understanding or bis religious profession,

II MIR. BUCHANAN has done what all
candidates for the Presidency cannot do
he has carried his own State. TIE be sure,
the act has been achieved by main force,
and is not received very pleasantly by his
opponents in the party, but done it is. The
UeIegau0n 10 Daitnnoro is not merely made
up of Buchanan men, but is backed by
Buchanan instructions. This is all right.
We trust he may have as good luck in
other States. After getting the Delegation
of Pennsylvania, it would be pity if he
shouldn't have chance to try and get her
electoral vote also.

~ The Webster N Getting last night was
not so large nor so enthusiastic as had been
expected. A good deal Of disappointment
was felt at the absence Of Mr.. CHoATE, the
charm Of whose brilliant oratory had no
doubt drawn many to the place. 1t seems
evident from this meeting,-if evidence
were needed, - that Mr.. WEBSTER, with all
the great qualities of his intellect, and with
the many admirers who delight to do him
honor, does not possess that electric power
which rallies the masses to his support He
is not popular man, and can hardly hope
to be popular candidate for the Presi-
dency.

slave-Caching by Conscience.

Rev. ORvILLE Dewey, Chaplain to the
Washington Navy Yard, winds up re-
Gently published lecture as follows:
upon the ground OF reflective conscience en-
deavor to place myself; and these points are very
Firstly: That the,immediate emancipation of the
Southern slaves would not be right they are not
prepared for freedom, nor DO they generally de-
SIRE II
be fatal to that order OF things fatal to peace and
Union for 10 hold them free and irreclalmable the
moment they touch our soil.
"TAudly: That, therefore, there must be some kind
OF fugitive slave law. And
'ESmthiy: That the present law is not more strin-
gent than its pyedece ssor that il contains no
features Of noerasle tyranny, such that it must be
rejected this account that a. is not rejected
this account but because any effective bill would
be disliked and resisted"
If the Rev. Doctors reflective con-
science is able to make these points clear
20 him, we can only say that he must have
a very strong conscience or very weak
reasoning faculty, for the one seems to have
the other at great advantage. Let us
look at the matter little on the ground of
common sense and common humanity. Our
four points are
|. That if the emancipation of the mass
Of Southern Slaves would be wrong because
they are not prepared for freedom and don't
want it, the inference is plain that those
who are not only prepared for it and want it,
but actually achieve it, have the most abso-
lutte and irrefragahle right SO to do, aud that
ordinary human sentiments and the dictates
of the Christian religion command us sol
EMMY to respect that right.
?. That whenever fugitive appeals to
Man-not to say Christian-saying
Il seek liberty, and the bloodhounds are
hot upon my track" the Man viii not seize
and hand him over to the scourge aud the
letters Of the pursuer, but will help and
shield him, and bid him God-speed on his
way TO freedom. Possibly here and there
Doctor of Divinity, endowed with re-
Elective conscience, may pretend that he
would do otherwise, since occasional sine.
cures are in the gift of the powers that ia
vor such prstenses; but we pronounce
them untrue and hypocritical And the
proof that this is so, is the fact that in niue
cases cut OF ten fugitive slaves are pra I'll.
cally held free and irreclaimable the moment
they touch our soil. This is so VIGOROUSLY
the case that Shareholders often refuse to
attempt the recovery of their lost chat,els.
even when they know where they are the
difficulty and the expense are more than
the merchandise is worth. And our peace
and Union do Mt seem to suffer from it.

SLANG. The use OF slang phrases, to
which so many persons in this country
are addicted, is, if not an invariabIe mark
oivulgarity, indicative oflow associations
at some period of life. and certain wan,
of dignity and refinement. The young
naturally fall into this habit, SO offensive
to good taste, not only because they have
examples in their associates, but because
the columns of too many newspapers thai
fall into their hands, abound with low
slang, and the wit and vulgarity of thea
tire Hobbies and street corners. As the
use Ct such terms serves no good purpose
whatever, but tends rather to wharis low
and demoralizing, parents ought to es-
pecially discountenance il in their Children,
and so far as themselves are concerned
