Festival OF the Rose

u The Concert of Friday and Saturday
evenings was numerously attended by the peo-
pie Of our city and the neighboring towns. Too
mnch credit can hardly be awarded to Mr.. Coz
for his enterprising labors in the department of
music, as connected with the school of which he
is one of the principals. The whole affair, from
beginning to end, was arranged most appropri-
ately and passed off pleasantly and successfully.
To the tasteful arrangement of the room, which
was festooned with evergrens and roses, must be
added, the hundreds OF beautiful girls dressed in
white and wreathed in fragrant flowers, and dis
pensing a thousand smiles sweeter than the
breath of the roses themselves.
The concert was given in excellent order and
the greatest praise is bestowed upon the perform
ers for their artstical execution of the music.
The address of Queen was pronounced in ex-
celent meditation, clearness of voice, and ap-
propriateness of style.
In addition to the Festival of the Rose. were
performed several pieces of Piano music by two
Of the pupils Of Mr.. Miller, which reflected no
little credit upon him, as d teacher, and the pu-
pills as profcients.
Mr.. Coe also entertained the audience by sing
ing the life Boat the greatest compliment to
which, is the fact that when the wreck was go
ing down, several ladies' rose from their seats
and looked over the heads of others to see where
| it went down.
The whole receipts must have Melted not far
from S75, which will be expended under the d.
rection of the trustees, in procuring books for the
! School Library.

THE QUESTION SETTLED,

The great effort of the adherents Of Pierce and
King is, to establish the idea that the slavery is
sues are all settled, and as consequence we are
all at liberty to return TO our old associations.
Are they indeed settled? if so, how? Certainly
not in favor Of freedom. If there was any issue
in l848, that is now settled we apprehend no man
will contend that it has been settled in favor of
freedom. Then it follows, if the question is
settled, slavery has triumphed, and our govern
ment is no longer free, but slave government.
Who, by his vote, is willing to endorse this con-
clusion? Is it indeed true, that the freedom we
battled for four years ago has been conquered
and crushed and we are left nothing but indiffer-
ence and despair? We say, 1T is NOT TRUE.
The question is not settled, and those who claim
it is, are either ignorant Of the true issue or are
dishonest.
What was the issue? Slavery in the terrific
ries? Slavery in California? Slavery in the
District Of Columbia? or any other isolated pro.
position? No, it was not. Refer to the Buffalo
platform-refer to all authoritative expressions
of the Free Soil party, and we shall find the is
sue to have been the divorce of the common go.
rerunlent from all connection uih the institution
Of sIarery, and the restoration of the government
to its original condition as government of free.
dom. This was the issue, and we repeat again
IT HAS NOT BEEN SETTLED-Slavery
HAS NOT triumphed. Palsied be the hand thai
Yields this pen, if while we have yet the liberty
to talk and write, we sit down, coward slave
admitting that the liberties of our country have
passed away forever. Those who choose to en-
dorse such conclusion, may; we do not.

THE Issue.


Itwoud perhaps be a sufficient vindicaton of
the opinions expressed in our leader of last week
from the aspersions Of the Democrat, to refer to
the speech of Rantoul, on the first page of this
paper, but We wish to say few words more.
We admit, with the Democrat that our govern
ment has not been without beneficial progress
since its creation-that many reforms have been
enacted, and many excellent ideas propagatcd.
But, nevertheless, a little reflection will enable
any one TO perceive, that what has been done is
in great measure superhcial-has been connec-
ted with no fundamental principles, and in con-
sequence all the benefits attained are liable to be
overthrown md lost in the issue now fairly be-
fore the country.
1t is true principles never change, but it is just
Us true that new questions, in virtue of new ideas
and new wants in humanity, are continually ari-
sing and demanding political adjudication As
the Democrat says, many questions have arisen
and been settled, and fayorably settled; and be-
ing settled they are no longer living questions
for no party can or will seek to disturb them,
and II is no part of reason or patriotism to seek

SUPREME COURT JUDGES.

We have heretofore neglected to call the at
tention of our readers to the fact, that the Pierce
& King democracy of this state, propose to hold
a state convention at Madison, on the 4th day of
August next, to nominate candidates to be sup
ported for Supreme Court Judges, and in accor-
dance with this, that convention Of this assem-
bly, district has been called, to send delegate to
said convention.
1t is hardly necessary in this connection, for
US TO say to our readers, that this is simply a
trick to elevate men to the supreme bench, who
could never reach it, depending on their own me-
rlts-to foist upon US an incompetent and un-
worthy Judiciary. This convention will express
the sentiment of the people Of this state just
about as much as it will that Of the people of Chi
ma. 1t will be made up principally of men self
appointed, who will 60 there at the expense of
candidates, and the most expert tricksters will
win the prize.
We can, from our arm chair, tell to dot who
will be the delegate from this district we know
at whose expense he will go to Madison, and if
he don't betray his patron, who he will support
after he gets there.
Are the people prepared for such partyism in
such matter?
Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1852-07-16

II This idea, SO often met with, of going fol-
Pierce and repudiating the platform, is the shall
lowest one dema gogue ever used. Mr.. Pierce
was nominated with special reference to the plat
form-and it is really not Mr.. Pierce, but the
plat orm that is now before the people, Sup
pose Mr.. Pierce entertained the same senti-
ments John P. Hale does, would he have been
nominated? Not bit of it. He was nomina
ted because he represents the PLATFORM and his
success will be the success of the platform, and
nothing else What does Mr.. Pierce care or
what do the shareholders care, how much you
repudiate the platform, or what mental reserya-
tons you may cherish, provided you vote right
What good or harm are your secret motives or
mental reservations going to do any person p
You vote for Mr. Pierce, you vote for his plat
torm-and when you talk about your mental res
ervations, the Shareholder thrusts your vote in
your face, very properly, as the record evidence
of your purposes. We think it is much more
charitable to attribute knavery to those who urge
this plea, than to attribute to them the idiocy of
really believing there is any virtue in their posi-
ton.
Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1852-07-16

u ROBERT RANToUL has at length defined
his position, which is, that he is Pierce man
but not an ultra Pierce man.
The Convention which nominated Mr. Pierce
kicked Mr.. Rantoul and his constituents out fol-
no other offence than the sentiments they held
and the candidate says no act OF his life is out Of
harmony with this kicking process yet, although
Rantoul and his sentiments were not good
enough for Pierce, it seems Pierce and his SEN
timents can be kicked into Rantoul.
We are not bound to account for all the obi
guilty of human na.ure-tho most and best we
can all dc, is not to initiate it.

in connection with the friends of the cause ONT

number of Sabbath Schools ladies' and citizens
IN general, numbering in all, something over q
thousand persons, which marched to a beautiful
grove near the village, where every thing was in
readiness for their accommodation PRAYER was
offered by the Rev. Mr.. Blood. The Declara-
ton of Independence was read in an appropriate
manner by James b. Tower. The Grafton was
delivered by John bookings, the Birmingham
Blacksmith and was listened to with great inter-
est, and frequently interrupted by applause.
Alter having pSrGken of refreshments, the au
dience again assembled around the stand, where
toasts were read, and addresses delivered BY the
Rev A. Calender, and by Samuel ID. Hastings,
and B. l.. Buckingham

HARB0RS,

Last year the people of this city paid to the
policy of Messrs. Pierce and King, ten thousand
dollars, and this year they have agreed to pay
fire thousand more. We think it quite possible
that such of our good ciizens as expect good
fat Offices at the hands of Mr. Pierce, may " ak
up and vote in favor Of this build-yourself-ahar-
Dor policy; but it don't seem hardly possible that
those who have no such expectations, will be
patriotic enough to vote in favor of taxing them
selves at the rate of ten thousand year for i'm
provements that are of as much importance to
the general government as to them. We wait
to see

RANTDUL,S SPEECH.

We trust none of our readers will fail to read
Rantoul's speech, published on the outside of this
paper. Ii seems to US conclusive on the point
OF which it treats, and We cannot perceive how
its positions can be overthrown.
How Rantoul himself can support men who
maintain directly opposite views, and avow their
intention of making these opposite views the ba-
sis of governmental policy, is question we can
not answer; perhaps he can. Let the facts be
remembered, and the man forgotten.
