MONTPELIER !:
The ConAios begun in Congress.


List week the Slavery contest was opened in
gallant style BY the lion hearted Gerritt Smith,
who, IN speech Of somewhat gu Allied common
damn IF Marcy's letter on the Kozsta rescue
tnrned from his remarks on Austrian despotisn,
which the subject naturally called forth, 10 the
greater and meaner despotism to be found IN the
enslayement of the millions of human beings in
the Southern States, and showed up, in bold Ian
guage, the inconsistency of our Government in
conendins fer liberty abroad and unfolding
slavery at hone. Preston Of Kentucky replied
defending Slavery as wise and humane system.
Mr.. DeaRe of New York also replied to Mr..
Smith, accusing him of ignorance or Eslsstate-
nlcnt. This brought Mr.. Glddings to the rescue,
and drew from him brief but powerful speech
in support Of his colleagues POSITIONS. The de-
date is still unfinished.
Thus early it seems, has this great question
of Liberty or Slavery become the prominent
topic of debate in Congress. And SO it will CON
tnun, both in Congress and oHt, in spite Of adj
opposition--aI threats, and all The Compromises
which have been Or shall hereafter be attempted
10 eyade, disguise or smother the discussion !;
for all classes, all parties, and the people OF all
sections of this widespread Union, know and
feel that the subject mast now be met, and that
it must now become the great national issue with
the whole American people The question of
tariffs, free trade, national currency, &C., are all
sinking INTO nothingness before It, and they
should do so for one thing is certsia, and settled
in the minds of all rejecting men. that Slavery
and Freedom are perfectly antagonlstlc eiemen's'
and cannot exist much longer together, and thal'
consequently, one must Weld. And the issue Is
which is to he the one ?--whetler this fair and
prospecting country, with its republican lnsltu-
t,aus. shall sink under he curse ri Slavery, or
become what 'ls first National Declaration de
clared. ard its Constitution guaranteed 1.-THE
land of Freedom. with government TO protect
and perpetua'e its blessings. The War of 1912
has been called the Second War Of Indepen-
dence, but with how much more propriety mglt
the expression he applied to the mon.entous con
test into which we are now entering? Jefferson
trenbed for his country when he reflected that
God was just we tremble for it when we reject
that man is unjust. But still orr faith keeps
paca with our hope Of this couptry's second re-
generation. 1t may not he effected without strife
bitter and fearful Effected, however. it will and
must he,apd all the signs of the po1ical sndmor

REMARKS RI THE EpIToR,

In reply to eur respected correspondent in re-
lation to State ConveHtlog on the 26th of JAN
uary, We can enly say that we are ss much in
the da rk about i. as he ie. We had seen the cali

the State Committee had moved in the matter,
and having reason to believe that some, at least,
OF the gentlemen whose names we're thus used,
had not been consulted, we were led to conclude
that the noven,sot proceeded mainly from one
man. Bni Of this We can speak with no Ger
dainty. A Mass State Convention, this winter,
