TIE llru, 18TH, AND 18TH OF APRIL, 1854.
To rnr FRIENDS OF IMPARTIAL FREEDOM; In
sending out this our Fourth Annual Call for a
gathering Of those who hate oppression aud love
justice, We deem the urging Of any reasons for so
doing wholly unnecessary. The Importance oi
frequent meetings Of the friends Of this cause for
deliberalion, counsel and encouragement is well
understood as is also, the utility Of Conventions
for pouring Aud-Slayery truth upon the hearts OF
the people. We will only say that, since our last
Annual Convention deeds have been done in our
Midst that warn us not to relax our efforts.
Our city, until within the past year free from the
doop disgrace Of having sent back n poor fugitive
to his chains. under the Fugitive Slave Act, now
stands doubly degraded.
The Constitutional rights Of onr colorcd citizens
to protection have been officially outraged. By a
decision Of one Of our Judges upon the Bench, they
have been told that they are be supposed slaves
until they have proved their freedoms and the
kidnuppor, that he has nothing to fear from legal
justice ifhis victim has not free papers in his pock
ct. Thus, virtually, is Ohio made Slave State.
During the past year our State has been moro
than ever used az huntingground, free to all who
chose to run upon tho trail of the poor black man
and if the efforts now being made by the Slacyo-
Gratis Of Congress are successful not foot Of the
soil Of the United States but may soon he trodden
by slave.
And still como waited to US, on every breeze
that sweeps over our beautiful river the sighs and
groans ofmilons Of our countrymen upon whose
dreary earthly condition Hope scarce sheds one
ray of light.
Among the places in which Anti-Slavery Con.
ventions should be held, Cincinnati is prominent,
Considering its location-its adaptation to the rad
iating Of the light Of Anti-Sayery truth over the
darker parts Of our laud--a more important point
can hardly be found and the success that has
attended the efforts that have been made here
attcsts that there is not a more promising field
We do, then, earnestly invite all who agree with
us that Slavery is a crime against God and man,
and are willing faithfully to labor for its abolition
whatever other differences may exist among us, to
come together again in Convention, to deliberate
upon the great work we have TO do And our
platform will be free to all, whether friends or
opponents, who desire canddly to discuss the great
principles Of the Anti-SlAvery enterprise.
Confdng in the blessing Of Almighty God
promised to every true and right effort, We hope
make an impression upon the moral atmospher
that shall vbrate to the extreme verge Of our slave
. holding territory.

The European News.

Each successive arrival from Europe brings
but repetition of the delays and alliance of
the allies, and the heroic struggle of the
Turks against fate which now seems ineyi-
table. The conduct of the English and French
would almost warrant the belief that their
real design is merely to manmuvre in front of
the Russian force, but in the end TO ioin in
the dismemberment of the Turkish empire. in
consideration of fair share falling to each
party. What else can account for the coimi-
nal tardiness of the allies in throwing rein
forcements upon the line of the Danube?-
There has been time enough for such a move
ment. The commanders of the English and
French forces have been feasted and fcted
while their forces have slept upon their arms
and enabled the Russians to perfect their ar
rangements, and reinforce each division of
the army preparatory to grand effort against
Silistria. This if a most important position
on the line of advance towards Constantine
pie, and hence the vigor and resolution with
which it Is defended by the Turks
There has been considerable fighting at the
outposts of Silistria, and the Russians are
making immonce sacrifices to carry the place
The Turks made a sally from Silistria on the
Sth inst, destroying the Russian approaches
and filling up the mines by which they de-
signed to destroy the fortresses. The Rus
SLAMS suffered some loss by the springing of
Turkish countermine. a Russian report
states that Mussa Pasha, the commander at
Silistria, had been killed by cannon ball
Schamyl has captured the important Russian
forces of Usurghet and was marching with
10000 men against Tilis. The united fleets
in the Baltic and Black seas are still content
ing themselves with operating on small
scale. No demonstrations have been made
against any of the strongholds ofthe Russians!
The reports concerning the negotiations are
confiicting-one account says that Russia has
offered to evacuate the principalities on con-
dition that the Western Powers VIII re-estab-
Ish affairs statae q,to ante 6ellum. Another
report is that Russia has unconditionally re-
fused.

Caution to Democrats

We are highly gratifed to witness the viei-
lance with which our Democratic cotempora-
ries in every direction are guarding the masses
against the schemes of our opponents. 1t is
not safe for Democrats 10 rely too confidently
upon their known strength; they must bear in
mind that whilst any one of the various
factions which make up the opposition is too
weak to excite an apprehension of danger, vet
that when all are united into one solid mass
of opposition, and impelled by feelings of ia
natical eagerness to obtain the rcins of power
they become truly formidable This union is
going on, and every possible effort is being
made to seduce a few Democrats into each one
Of The factions, and in that way to obtain the
ascendancy The Neooark Daily Eagle proves
ITSELF vigilant and fearless sentinel in the fol
lowing warning words:
WHAT THE WHGs ARE AIMING AT.-The
Northern Whig papers are at present engaged
in extraordinary efforts TO consolidate all the
factions opposed to the administration of Pre-
sident Pierce. We notice the strongest ap-
peals to form an anti. Nebraska party, and 10
make, when the time arrives. anti-Nebraska
this that these new fusion movements are
urged by Whigs-in Democratic counties, and
with all the cunning for which the opposition
are celebrated, they are sure to coax few
honest, clever Democrats to lend themselves
to the sheme, In some places, to give plau-
sibility to their tricks, the Wings are willing
to nominate quasi Democrats, so that the thing
may have the appearance Of fairness.
Movements like these says an Ohio CO.
temporary, are old devices of Whiggery. and
certainly should be well understood by Demo
Gratis. In all the phases of the Wing party,
we have seen them resorting to all kinds Of
political jugglery in order to defeat the Demo
cracy and plant themselves in power. Having
no liked principles to govern them, they can.
with facility that is truly wonderful, adopt
any or every device in order to give them tenn
porary over. They have been for and against
a measure. just as IT would promote their in
terests for he thine being
''As regards now-Nothingism- another
element which the Wings are trying to control
for their own selfish purposes-the Democracy,
as party, will be found arrayed against it.
Defeat as has been stated, may overwhelm
them at first but no matter how long the ia
naticism may last, they will do their duty to
their principles, and in the midst of disaster
will calmly await the action of corrected pub
lie opinion to render justice at the same time
to them and TO that constitution which is based
upon equality in all things"

The Wheat Crop,

The Pittsburg Gazette says: The intelli-
gence we receive daily from the growing har-
vest is of the most contradictory character. In
the central counties of Ohio, which is the
growing region of the State, we learn that the
promise is excellent, and that the breadth of
land sown in wheat is much greater than ever
before but on the Western Reserve, and in
some of the Southern Counties the promise is
not so good.
In Northern Indiana, South Michigan, New
York and Illinois, the yield, we are assured
will be splendid and largely increased over
any preceding year. In Western Pennsylva-
MIA the crop will be considerably below an ave-
rage, and this is the case in many localities
scattered over the West, but the general yield,
we have reason to think viii be sufficient to
meet all the public wants at prices more rea-
sonable than now prevail.

Mayor Conrad;s Address.

It is refreshing TO see with what unanimity
the Democratic press, from all parts of the
Union, repudiatesshe anti-American aud un-
constitutional doctrines set forth by Mayor
Conrad in his Inaugural It is the best evil
dence of the universal platform on which the
Democratic organization rests. The Louis
rilJe Daily Times thus comments upon the
message:
Judge Conrad, the Wing and know
Nothing" Mayor elect of Philadelphia. In his
inaugural address, pledged himself that no
foreigners should be employed in the police
force. A prescription of all those citizens
who may have been born upon foreign soil.
is to be the first fruit of this victory of the al
lied forces d Whiggery and Native Ameri-
canism The eXiles fleeing from the despo-
tisms of the Old World, for protection beneath
the canopy of American liberty, are to be
Amcricanized by being excluded from the
dearest privileges of an American citizen. They
are to be taught devotion to cur free institu-
tions, by being told that they are unfit to per-
form the duties devolvino upon freeman.
They are to be made orderly, and frugal and
industrious, by being deprived of one of the
highest incentives TO honest endeavor. This
is the creed of this new party, this is the plat
form which is to effect an amalgamation of
Whiggery and Native Americanism. The
fusion of those conienial clements is very
appropriately called KRo,c- N0thtRgiszu. We
may expect no more laudatiops of foreigners
in Wing papers until the next Presidential
canvas"
The Richmond Enquirer also repudiates the
sentiments of the new Mayor and his party in
the following language
The papers in the city of Brotherly Love
are teeming with comments upon the inaugural
address of Judge Conrad, who was recently
elected Mayor, by the Wings, Know Nothings,
and Maine Law men. His Honor distributes
bone to each kennel, with the fond hope of
conciliating every member of his pack. The
most remarkable feature of the address is the
clear and uncquivocal avowal, that during his
term af office, none but native-born Americans
will be appointed to offices within his bestow-
ment This was for the Know-Nothing faction.
and establishes, beyond all dispute, that this
secret combination is but the Native Ameri-
canism of former years revived in connection
with sectarian jealousies. As in 1914. the
Native Americans coalesced with the Wings
to oppress the naturalizcd citizens ofthe coun-
try, so in 1854 the Know-Nothings are turn
ing to the same party to prescribe the same
class and all Roman Catholics The move
ment deserves reprobation, and we are glad to
see that the Democratic papers throughout the
land are boldly denouncing this corrupt COM
bination. Let the people everywhere know
that the Democratic party will uphold the
principles of the Constitution and constantly
oppose every faction that attempts their sub
version.
