trel COMMITTEE appointed by the late Anti-Nebraska
State Convention at Auburn, has called Judge B-on-
son TO account Tor his reckless aspersions on that
tody contained in bis last letter to Mr. Delvan. Mr..
Blunt wieds the pen Of master Of his subject and,
being candidate for Office and 30 never having been
Obliged TO his tracks with regard 10 Slavery Ex
tension ard the duty Of the Free States respecting it,
Is Judge Bronson has, be has very decided advan.
tsPe in the controversy. The length Of Mr. Blunts
letter, end the late hour ofts reception O'Clock last
night oblges Ms to be content with its summing up,
a. follows:
"The Missouri Compromise, which declared that
while Slavery might eaist in the Louisiana Territory
south Of tho northern boundary Of Arkans should
be Prohibited north Of that line, Wa repealed. Ii
was hastily done in Congress elected when no such
proposition was before The public; and even you win

taied Of the polls II therefore done in violation
Of public sentiment, and in violation of parliaments

public faith. go ,ooo :.

This had been done in the acts admitting Ohio, In

ELECTS we're seen 10 the growth end prosperity Of those
States. The South opposed it, and o. measure
Welded to their urgent demand, the Missouri Com
pron,iso was made. Nearly all the southern Rep
res.ptatyes supported H. and, with the aid Of few
northern votes, It became law As such it has been
respeottd by the North, and Arkansas was admitted
with Slavery under that Compromise. with the az.
quiescepoe Of the North After the lapse Of onehr1
Of a century the time approaches when Free States
are TO be formed from that Territory and the South
seeks to be relieved from performing its part Of the
bargain.

age, in repeating the Compromise, and opens the
whole Territory TO tho admission Of Slavery; and
now because the North Tesent this gross violation of
faith on the part of the South-this open betrayal of
their trust by portion Of its own Representatives,
sectional movement is commenced, which in your
Judgment, cannot triumph without rcnding the Re-
"pubc il pieces !"
The South can he arTaycd against the North with
out danger to the Union As long as no resistance
is made TO the aggaDdizement Of Slavery, the Uaion
is safe; but when the North stands on its Defense
ard insists that Slavery shall not be extended, then
fOIsOOth, O sectional movement is commenced which
must destroy the Union
Do you really think that the citizens Of the free
States are 10 be guided by such suggestions That
they can be led TO believe that this Union can be pre-
served only by2 continual cODcess Ons on their part;
or that q Union upon the basis of concession OH
side, and aggression on the other, would be worth
The free men Of the North DO not so understand
their position in this Union. They know that under
the Constitution Congress alone is vested with the
right Of legislation over all the public territory; that
that right has been exercised without question from the
formation Of the Government; that Slavery has been
kept out by legislation from the States north OF the
Ohio; and they feel patriotic pride when they see
the rsiy freedom States Forth of that river fast as
Stunning the foremost place in the Union, while they
turn with shame from the contrast exhibited by Mis-
souri, and Arkansas allowed to come into being with
the black caul of Slavery on their faces.
They feel indignant, too at the bad faith exhibited
by the representatives Of Slavery and by the dough-

separation. Those threats have been often reer-
ated that they have lost their power The citizens Of
the Free States are too much aroused to be bued
caoled
They have determined to assert their Just rights
der this Government, and to prevent the farther
extension Of Slavery tn a single foot of the public
Territory" If this determination eXc.es the anger
of the Slavery propagapdsts, the political gamblers
who so readily use the threat OF disunion will be
made TO show their hand Tho people of the
North will knew whether :he bonds thnt bind MS to-
gother rest lightly that the people OF the South are
ready 10 throw them OF unless the scheme OF Slavery
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is made the policy OF tue Govern
nent. That this s their determination no one can
doubt Iowa and Maine have discarded all old polti
cal differences, and spoke in language not TO be hrs
understood Indiana, Ohio end Pennsylvania have
uttered their indignation in still louder voice Even
