PEACE AND WELFARE OF THE Country
the following extract from the West Tennessee
Democrat, we learn that rum as we'll as slavery
Is one Of the corner stones OF our republican
prosperity. tho "Southern people can't stand
tho Maine Law any better than abolition. Both
are vital to their interests, and they con no
more stand the agitation Of the one than the
other. We rather agree with the Tennessee
togic, that slavery might be endangered by tenn
peranco. We arc sure It's friends and support
ers in the north would be diminished thereby.
After charging the Maine Law agitation in Ten.
nesscc to the craftincss Of Whiggery, the Dem
ocrat proceeds
" It may not be 'Whig trick as we have
supposed, but simply an effort on tho part Of
the Uncle Tom Cabinitcs' to wiring in, insidu-
ously, dangSous and fearful question, invov-
ing the vital interest OF the Southern people in
both a social and pecuniary sense. We shall
avoid the discussion of this question so for as
possible for the present, but if it shall be press
cd in this canvass, or at any other time, there
will be no hesitancy on our part in taking q
very definite position. We think the peace,
safety, and welfare of tho country should de-
mand Of every man to do likewise

Quebec, on the 9th inst. lie defender himself

A Compliment TO MRs. SrowE.--A London
correspondent of the New York Herald, speaks
thus Of Mrs. Stowe:
"Mrs. Stowe proves herself quito an Ameri-
can in her intercourse with the English arstoc-
racy. Her self possession, ease and independence
Of manner was quite undisturbed in the pres
encc Of the proud duchess and fraughty danes
of the titled English nobility. They expected
timidity and fear and reverence for their titles,
in an untitled person, and they found themselvs
disappointed.
"Mrs. S. felt herself their equal in Gpcial life,
and acted among them as she felt, This, above
all other things, has caused great astonshment
in the high circles in favor of American women,
in fact it is a fact peculiarly distinguishing an
American woman, that she can be and is a du-
chess among duchesess."

by little and little it substitutes self.approyal
with love of appreciation, and ends in recurring
obsequiousness. If Garrison and a Douala,s

manhood was the price paid for his ruin-that
they looked to, and relied on others to do that
for which they should have fallen on their own

them poor indeed" Years, will not restore

A Reason for II.

The Washington Union recently came out
with a eulogy of the Emperor of Russia
This aroused the patriotic indignation of South
ern patriarchs and Others and under its pressure,
tho writer was compelled to come out with q
card, apologizing for this oblation to European
despotism. The most satisfactory reason he
gave for eulogizing the Car, was: that "it was
his friendly meditation that initiated the ne
sotiation which resulted in the Treaty of Client,
and Il was by his arbitration that the citizens
Of the South goi indemnify for the siores rhich
,esre Kidnapped by the British in Me last war."
II that is not satisfactory, we should like to
know what would be. We have heard no rep
clifton of complaints, since tho publieation Of
the "card.''

American Tract Society.

Among the most servile Of our American
organizations, is the American Tract Society.
Almost a score and half of years, has this
society been in existence. Its especial business
is to rebuke sin and bring the sinner to repent
ance-professcdly. 1t has heaped up ex-
posures and warnings against gambling--sab-
bath neutrality-suspicious. swearing, &c., but has
sought fellowship with Shareholders, and stu-
diously avoided any rebuko of his sin. To
this end, it has shamefully and dishonorably
mutilated and altered the writings of faithful
men who have exposed the evil, and in every
way consistent with its organization, II has
covered up the sin, and honored tho greatest Of
sinners.
Mr.. Cook, the Corresponding Secretary Of
the society," recently applied to Hon. VIM. Jay,
for contribution to the funds Of tho society.
Mr.. Jay declines the contribution, and accom-
| panics his refusnl with letter setting forth his
reasons therefor. An extract from this letter
will quite prove all we have charged upon tho
society.
Mr. Jay says;
| 81 know not that in the twenty. seven years
Of its existence this Society has published a
| line intended to touch the conscience Of an
| American slavo-breeder or trader. On tho
contrary, especial care has been taken to sr-
p,mge from your reprints every expression that
could even imply consure on our stupcndous
national iniqui,y. The Society has no hesta-
ton in eondemnins cruelty, oppression and in
justice, but it shrinks with alright at tho very
idea Of acknowledging that It is cruel, oppres-
sive and unjust to reduce black man to tho
condition of q beast of burden, to deny him
legal marriage, and to sell him and his children
to the highest bidder, in company with the
beasts Of the field. This extreme sensitiycness
is shown in tho alteration of passage in your
reprint of g urney's essay on the habituRl cx-
ereise of love of God. Gnrney says: II this
love had always prevailed among protesting
Christians, where would have been the sword
Of the crusader; Where the african slars tradci

nnn property in his fellow men, and converts
rational beings into mark otablc chattes -

digestion of the Society, and hence II was caro-

Another Fugitive Case.

On Wednesday the Ist inst, n young col
ored man, named Basil White, was brought
before Ingraham by Albert, MS the slave of
one Leonard Quinlnn, Of Baltimore county,
Md, and doomed to u life of slavery in the
most summary manner. Basil had come 10
this city last winter with the resolution to
"take care of himself" and had succeeded
well until he unfortunately fell in with one
John Dorsey, also colorcd man, who won
his confidence 10y the wnrmest professions of
friendship, aud then betrayed him TO Albert.
Basil was "green," inexperienced and un-
suspecting, and easily vclimiZnd 10y these
cunning villains. Dorsey took him To Al
berti's house, Albert protesting the strongest
interest in his welfare, aud promising to get
him n good situation. There he rcmnincl
till his former master camn md arrested him.
Finding himself hopelessly enirapped, he
confessed himself Qunlun's slave, and CON
sented to return, thinking doubtless that this
was his wisest policy The whole clse
lasted but few minutes, and wns decided

Commissioners office, nud yet the claimant
managed to throw upon the u. >. Govern
ment the expense Of transporting his captive

an attempt to rescue him. Such is The se-

fruits of our Unon and the popular religion.

Senator Chasc'S View Of Slavery and the
Consultation,

Extract Of speech delivered by Senator
Chase, in Pcterboro', N. Y. From the Oneida
Telegraph.
"Slavery depends entirely upon the tyranical
exercise of superior power for its existence
One man possessed of superior power, makes
his weaker neighbor a slave by the exercise Of
that power. The weaker neighbor ceases to be
a slave when he rises above tho control Of this
superior power. If ono man has not sufficient
power to make another his slave, he enters into
a conspiracy with number Of mon to reduce
the other 70 slavery, and retain him therein,-
Thus John docs not, in himsclfpos Iess sufficient
power to make Isaac his slave. Isaac rebels
and says he will not be Johns slave. John
therefore enters into a conspiracy with Jorge
number of individuals to make Isaac his slave.
This combination of conspiritors proves too
much for Isaac and he becomes n slave Of John.
lie remaines Johns slave so long as the COM
bination Of conspirators possesses the superior
power necessary to continue him in Slavery
This is the law, and the only law which slavery
has to sustain it any where. When Isaac es-
capcs beyond the reach Of the superior power
of this combination of eonspirators he ceases to
be slave and is free.
"Sluvory existed in tho States Of this Union
at the time of its adoption of the American
Constitution, by virtue Of this power of the
many over the few, Then was no law for it
to be found any where. On the contrary, oil
law was against it. The shareholders at that
time did not pretend that there was or could be
any law to uphold human slavery. They look
ed upon its existence in our country, as an
anomaly, which few years would remove
The trainers Of the Constitution regarded tho
existence of slavery in this country as a tempo-
rory matter. Tho Constitution nowhere recog-
nizes or sanctions the idea Of property in man.
Its trainers did not intend that it should in the
smallest degree, be made shield for any such
doctrine True it does not in terms prohibit
its existence, for the reason that every body at
that time supposed, and intended that is was
soon to cease to exist in this land Of freedom,
and that no such prohibition was necessary
This is the spirit and ntcrt of the CONSTITUTIONS.

country at the time Of its adoption
