reason that deemed it expedient to exclude
slavery from these Territories by law of Con.
gress.
MIR. Blair closes his speech in favor of re-
pealing the Jackson resolutions, with an appeal
to the interests Of the People of the State.
These resolutions ought to be repealed, be-
cause they contain falsehoods against our sister
States. Falsehood in an individual is contempt
ible, it is an evidence of weakness, and will not
be resorted to even by a mean man If he has
an honest cause. Those who have placed a
falSehood on our Legislative records are guilty
of crime against this State and against our
sister States. Ii has been said by Col. Benton,
that we may have occasion for the good Offices
of these States, and that it would be unbecom-
ing proud people to receive such fayors from
them, 80 long as this false accusation remains
unrepealed
The time hos arrived when we desire the aid
of the Northern States. The Pacific railroad
is now before Congress- measure of more
value to Missouri than all the slaves in her
limits. The Southern States are cooperating
against the Central National" Missouri route,
and 10 favor of the sectional, Southern, slavery
route, to Memphis Tennessee. No Southern
man in Congress advocates the Missouri route
one of our Senators is silent the other has
spoken against the Missouri route, (Mr. Geyer)
Col Benton has been sold out of the Senate by
the nulifers and the only man who has raised
his voice for terminating the road in Missouri
is Mr. Chase Of Ohio, Free-Soiler Our
Southern friends claim that the road which
leads from Kansas, and over which thirty
thousand people pass with OK teams every year
to the Pacific, is impossible; and that the route
should 90 through Walkers Pass, where, it is
said there is q tradition that Walker has once
passed, and that he has said that others can
pass there also. If the State of Missouri had
anybody in the Senate it is surmised that the
great fact that thirty thousand people pass an
nually with ox-teams, without using spade or
pick-axe from Kansas to the Pacific could be
made known and the other fact that no hui
man being has ever been known to pass direct
from Memphis, through Walkers traditional
pass to the Pacific.

"iNCHEsTER mdFH 40 1000
To the Editor of the National Era.
have been comparing the fifth resolution
of the Democratic Convention at Baltimore and
the Inaugural Address of President Pierce.
The resolution is" That the Democratic
party will resist all attempts at renewing, IN
Congress or out of it the agitation of the Sla-
very Question, under whatever shape or color
the attempt may be madeD
This was supposed 10 be fnality Of the
Slavery Question, at least among all the old
Democrats. Their lips were to be sealed, in
Congress and out of Congress
Now, why is President Pierce allowed to
open his lips on the subject Is he neither
in Congress nor out of it. and therefore he
may speak? Or perhaps his remarks have
neither shape nor color, and therefore no viola
ton of this resolution? 1t may be said that
We the People, had right to know his opin-
ion. For what purpose | ask Does his
opinion constitute the law by which we are to
be governed? If not it is worth no more than
any other great mans opinion. And opening
his lips on this forbidden subject, has he not
violated the resolution to which he gave his
pledge, when he consented to be the candidate
of the Democratic party?
Perhaps he may be like the good man of old,
who said" Once have | spoken, but will not
answer; yea, twice, but will proceed no fur
Their" For he says, 81 fervently hope that
the question is at rest"
This is a fnality upon tinality and doubt
less there will be many other such fnalities
before slavery is finally disposed Of

10 The Edltor Of the National Era:
What are the present indications Unsat-
isfaotory from one point of view, surely; but
knowing the spirit that is working among tho
people in the country, and yielding to the
potCer Of truth an entire faith, who can be dis
heartenedi Let our measures be dictated by
no narrow, self,seeking or short-sighted policy,
but by that happy wisdom which seises upon
the right and true only and supported by the
old Saxon irresistible power of will with pa
thence to "labor and wait" and success will
as surely result as the harvest follows the seed
time. If every man and a0oman of us faithful
ly and bravely will do their duty, this giant
evil of slavery must soon manifest its weakness,
yield but with terrible writings and struggles
to its certain destiny and the end-the great
and glorious end-will be accomplished. So |
read the "signs of the times" believe many
are now ready to use the necessary means to
work-to agitate both privately and publicly.
This is emphatically the golden time for SOW
ing the seed. Truly yours,
