Meeting In Philadelphia against View York
Mint.

PHnADELFHIA, March ga large meeting
was held tonight at the Musical Fund Hall, 70
remonstrate against the proposition 10 establish
branch mint in New York, which was addressed
by Col. Patterson, Morton McATichael, and sew
eral Of our prominent merchants. A series Of
resolutions were passed setting forth that such
a measure would entail useless expenditure, and
is justified by no adequate grounds Of public
convenience, and is unworthy OF popular and
legislative favor. They characterize the eff ri
as an indirect attempt 10 remove The mint to
New York, and denounce the chief argument Of
economy as unworthy Of consideration, for in
the FIRST place the erection oftbe California mint
will obviate the necessity for such expense, and
in the second place, the cost for transportation
TO Philadelphia is so insignificant compared with
the construction Of a mint, that il is FAR better
for government TO assume the expense than TO
establish branch mint at New York.

We have already laid before our readers the
views of two of the leading prints of this State,
in relation TO the Presidential contest. We
subjoin pithy and pungent editorial from the
South Carolinidn, which bears directly on the
same point:
BEeISNrEG THE WHEEDLISG SYsTEM.-The
New York Tribune has commenced its coaxing
tactics IL holds a talk with Southern Wings,
in which it is said:
I'VE of the North, who are faithful to the
traditions and sentiu snts Of our fathers, pro-
pose no action respecting slavery, desire none
whatever, from any Ma onal Wing Convention.
We know and acknow edge that on this subject
There Is adiversity of views and feelings between
The North and the South, and We see no use in
plastering over nat diversity with empty and
ambiguous w ia. We propose to leave il
where il has been left by all former Whip Ma.
tonal nventions-untouched We hold, as
we sser have held, that the Wing party of the
nation was organized upon certain vital princi-
piles, and in support Of certain fundamental
measures, which have nothing to do with slavery
or abolition. A Wing in Alabama may be de-
cidedly pro-slavery, as one in Vermont may be
earnestly antisaverY yet both be true and
sound Wing; and they may act cordially to-
sether in support Of Wing principles and meas
ures."
Thus has il always been with both parties
As the Presidential scramble approaches, one
would think that there never would be another
word uttered against Southern institutions but
no sooner is the contest over, and the spoils Sc
cured, than the one party vies with the other IN
the denunciation Of their drpes. Southern
Wings and Democrats have been thus pulled
long enough. II remains 10 be seen, however,
whether they think so or not

the Washington Republic and Senator SoULE
The Senator from Louisiana has made an
intervention speech in the Senate, in which a. Il
is said, he conn ented unfayorably upon Mr.
Websier's Spanish policy. For this, the Re.
public is down upon him furiously, and nothing
but Mr. Soule's senatorial position saves him
from thorough dressing off upon the occasion
The Republic says:
at is not our respect for Mr. Soule that pre-.
vents us from commcntingon his most unbecom
ing language in the style which would be most
appropriate. He is a member Of the American
Senate. Our respect for that body arrests Out
censure"
We only wonder why the Republic did moi
think Of this in Mr. Rhetts case.

Massachusetts and the Fugitive Slave Law.

Massachusetts, and the Fugitive Slave Law.
We called attention some time since 10 the
renewed efforts made in the Legislature of this
"loyal" commonwealth, to obtain formal rePu-
dialion Of the fugitive slave law, and to make
"a fnality" even Of that phantom there. Our
amiable contemporaries of the partisan press
here, do not condescend to notice there move
ments, because both parties these are equally
stained with Abolitionism. So far as they are
concerned the Southern people are kept in bliss
full Inconsistencies of all these enthusiastic pro-
ceedings at the North, where no party capital
can be made out it. Nay more, they have the
unblushing effrontery occasionally to twt us
with desiring to keep up "agitation," because
we will not suppress the truth, and go on in
bullying the South into fatal security. The
Significance Of such facts, as the obstinate re-
fusal of the Massachusetts legislators to acqui-
esce even in the armistice which the partisan
leaders here are striving TO establish, cannot be
denied, nor can such movements safely be ig-
nored. Every days additional experience con.
firms the truth of the indignant aspiration OF the
Columbus Times, when smarting under the
sense of Southern desertion and betrayal some
tie since: g Poor South fercely attacked
teebly defended basely betrayed"
Here are the latest tidiDgs from the State so
well beloved and admired" by President FILL
MORE and his Secretary of State. The Boston
Courier says:
In the senate, on Saturday, the committee on
the compromise resolutions, which were trans
mitted from other States, reported bill TO null
lily the fugitive slave law. This is designed as
a firebrand of discord by the Abolitionists,-
but one would suppose the experience of the
last session would have taught them that its
only fate must be to 60 out with a hiss of con-
tempt The folly was gross enough the first
time but to repeat it is folly in its extreme wretch
edness

the last session (which did not pass) was drawn
up,--so il .yas understood at the time, by Mr.
Charles Sumner That gentleman has now
been almost four months in the United States

slant and unconditional appeal of the fugitive
slave law. The subject has. been again and

Gov. Cobb and the Georgia wings.

The Athens (Ga.) Herald, Wing paper,
gives Gov. CoBB the benefit of his declaration
of adhesion to the Democracy, in the following
style:
Gov. CcBB AND THE observation-disclosures
Cobb's visit ia the North has removed all doubts
(if any really existed) as TO his whereabouts
politically. First there was the speech Of Chas-
tain, which il not actually written by the COVER
nor, was, ms all the world knows, IN accordance
with his views. and doubtless prompted by him.
But If this left auv doubt in the minds of his
Wing supporters in Georgia, his speech before
the "Sechems" of Democracy at Tammany
Hall, in New York, must remove them. We
regret that we have not room this week TO give
that speech The following extract from the
Richmond Enquirer will, in the meantime, show
how the governor row stands:
at has been eyed (says the Richmond
Enquirer that Gov. Cobb of Georgia. would
not affiliate with the Democratic party, but
would adhere to the aUnion" organization, or
act with the Wing party. We are happy to
SEQ, from his speech in Tammany Hall, New
York, that there is no foundation for such be-
lief. in that speech he said:
"The convention of the Democrats of the
country will soon assemble at Baltimore
Much has been said of the candidates, and we
all have our personal preferences. lhave mine.
! will not say tonight, what they are, but will
tell you what we look TO in the South: We
look more to principles than to the names Of
men. Grand Sachem--Give us the principles
of 1874 and l848. Yes, and all other pfinci-
Piles that you are moi ashamed or afraid TO avow.
Therefore affirm the fnalty and faithful enforce
ment of the compromise, illustrative rs it is OF
those Democratic principles so often proclaimed
by the Democracy. When these principles are
laid down, then put up your candidate, and The
Democracy will stand by him in New York, and
will stand by him in Georgia, and there will be
one triumphant chain of success from North to
South"
"This, and other Indications, satisfy us, (says
the Richmond Enguirer,) that the Union De-
mocracy of the South will ultimately return TO
the support of the Democratic cause and princi
pies; and that the leaders of Union" Wings
will, in spite of their past protestations, finally
sustain the Wing nominee--even Gen. Scott
They will not be able, however, to carry all the
rank and file of their party with them"
eve may remark that the Sachems of Tam
many, very laudatory of other portions of Gov
Cobb's address, preserved an ominous silence
when he spoke of " other principles" than those
of 1874 and lS48. They manifested no dispo-
sition whatever, to join the governor in his cru
SADIE agfinst the anti compromise Democrats of
the South"
We would give ga quarter and seven pence"
TO see the faces of certain old Wing sacbems"
in this region, who, a few months ago. assured us
that Gov Cobb had joined or would act with
