THE PERRYSBURG JOURNAL.

If the anti-slavery party really obtain q
majority in the next Congress, they will
make an effort, not to repeal the Nebraska
Act, but the Fugitive Slave Act, and throw
the fulfilment of the Constitutional obliga-
tion for the rendition of fugitive slaves upon
the naked constitutional clause, without
legislative aids for its execution.
But it is not probable that, upon such a
question as the Nebraska bill, the north could
elect body of anti-slavery members large
enough to form majority of the House,
If they can, the chance will be very fair for
a considerable amount of agitation at the
first session of the next Congress.
The above paragraphs are taken from q
Washington letter in the Journal Of Com
merce, 1t is written by a gentleman of
northern birth and education, of conserva-
tive views and tendencies, and of great
knowledge and experience in public affairs.
He is as likely as any other man in the coun-
try to be correctly informed of the inten-
tIons OF the antlslavery party, and of every
other party whose strength is sufficient to
affect the action of the government in any
degree. And he looks upon all these things
with an unprejudiced and impartial eye
That such purpose as he indicates may be
by certain misguided zealots, we
can easily imagine but we deem il scarcely
possible that a serious, concerted effort will
be made to repeal the fugitive slave act, so
long as we have an administration known
to be under the influence of the slave power.
We are persuaded that at this moment,
ninet of the people in the free
states would be glad to see that law abroga-
ted, and the Shareholder thrown upon the
naked constitutional clause, without legis-
lative aid, for the recovery of fugitives from
service; but intelligent and rejecting men
will not require to be told, either that Presi-
dent Pierce would certainly withhold his
sanction from bill for the repeal of the
fugitive act, if it was possible to get such a
bill through Congress, or that the cause of
freedom would be seriously damaged by an
abortive attempt of that description. If a
majority of the people of the North should
resolve to efface the law from the statute
book, the change necessary to accomplish
that object could not be wrought in the Sen
ate in less than four years. A movement in
that direction would therefore be wholly
fntiIe, while it would irritate and alarm the
South, without the least advantage to any
body. We can repeal nothing. We are
powerless in the government, so far as affir-
native action is concerned, Our true policy
is to resist all aggressive measures hereafter !;
and with proper effort, we shall be able to
thwart most of the unworthy schemes now
in embryo, and prevent pernicious legislation
in the next Congress- Buff Com.

Our RELATIONS WITH SPAIN.---By the
last advices from Washington it would seem
that although the Black Warrior case has
been settled, there are other difficulties with
Spain remaining unadjusted, and that the
administration does not desire to adjust
them. These difficulties" Washington
letter writer says, were made by our govern
ment not for the purpose of bringing about
an adjustment, but TO serve as pretexts to
annexing Cuba. The Black Warrior affair
was settled against the protestations and
wishes of Mr. Soule, by the owners of the
ship and the Spanish Ministry. The former
being merchants and not fllibusters, wisely
got out of the clutches of the politicians as
soon as they could Buff. Com.
