Hampshire county. He did not believe that
the party could lose anything by passing them.
Why should we fear to give full expression to
the sentiments of the party
Mr.. Bradbury, of Newton, cited the latter
clause of the first resolution, declaring that if
the Missouri Compromise is repealed, the plat
form of the party shall be an unhinching OPP
position to the admission Of additional Slave
States. He desired to call attention to it as
serious and important declaration.
Mr. Cooley hoped gentlemen would not be
in hurry to throw the party into the policy
laid down in the resolutions. He had also
called attention to the reading of the first res
olution, and said that the expression, 'T the
Compromise Of 1920" &C., denoted foregone
conclusion. 1t is declaratory of an intention
Independently ofthe matter whether the COM
promise is repealed or not He hoped gentle
men would consider the force of this declara-
ton. How far do we intend to carry out the
principle? We are constantly acquiring new
territory, by purchase or treaty, and his policy
would be to ''put afar off the evil day when
we should decide on the matter of opposing
the admission of slave State into the Union.
This declaration commits Massachusetts to a
serious policy. Do we mean to say to the
South that not another inch of territory shall
be trodden by slave? If we do, we shall
bring back the agitations of 1920 and 1850,
and be obliged either to back down and com
promise, or see the Union dissolved.
Mr.. Kimball said he was glad gentleman
understood the full purport and meaning of
the resolutions. He wanted them to go forth
to the world as the declaration of Massachu-
sets that no more slave territory shall be added
to the Union.
The question was taken on the motion of
Mr. Cooley, to refer the resolutions to COM
mittee, and decided in the negative by a mod
crate majority.
The question OH their adoption was then
put, and they were adopted almost unanimous
ly, but two or three dissenting votes being
heard. AS adopted the resolutions contain no
illusions to Senator Douglas.
The Convention then dissolved.

IRENE OR THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF AN A r.
lists DAUGHTER, and other tales, is the il
tie of book, written by the daughter of
Sumner Lincoln Farirfeld, the poet, and
published by Damrell and Moore, l6 Dew
onshire Street, Boston.
The author of {" Irene is "a young lady of
only eighteen years of age; but the graphic
and vigorous style in which she writes, the
richness of imagery which she displays, and
the dramatic ability with which she conducts
the story, demonstrate a ripeness of under
standing, and excellence of mental culture far
beyond her years.
This volume is superior in conception and
execution to some that are at present beng
heralded abroad as Great American Ro-
mances." In the descriptions of scenery, in
the delineations of character, and in the con-
duct of conversation, (Which is one of the most
difficult attainments Of an author,) Geneva
Fairfield exhibits rare and brilliant ability
We trust that her genius will receive a just
appreciation from our fellow citizens. She is
the true child CT poet.
The mother of the author, and widow of
the poet Fairfield, will wait upon our citizens
for subscriptions to this highly meritorious
work.

We copy from the Boston Journal, into our
Wing Legislative Convention, so far as they
relate to its action on National politics. In
these proceedings will be found new exhibi-
ton of the antagonism, which has always ex-
listed in the party, of free, liberal, and progress
sive principles, on the one hand, and of mar
row, sordid, anti-republican conservatism, on
the other. When the action of the party is
confined to mere resolution making, the hber-
al side is generally allowed to have its way,
because that neither does any particular good
or harm to anybody, and helps to reconcile that
side to the action of the party when the con-
servatives have their way, as they usually do,
when questions are to be determined, which
affect the personal rights, or pecuniary inter
ests of the people. Thus, the Presidential
election of lS4S was prefaced by series
after series of Wing resolutions, in all
parts Of the country, and running back for
several years, defining the position of the par
ty as one of uncompromising hostility to
slavery and its extension into any new terri
tory. No more slave States-no more slave
territory" was its standing motto, uttered
faom every press, and every stump in the
country, with an apparent earnestness that
betokened entire sincerity. The election
came the party triumphed, and gave us four
years of the most unmitigated triumph of the
slave power, over everything called free, lib
eral, and just, that the country ever witnessed.
In those four years, it acquired strength,
power, and predominance, which whole
age, preceding, had failed to give it. When
slavery was 10 be permitted to be carried into
the free territories of New Mexico and Utah,
when the right of trial by jury and the Habeas
Corpus were to be stricken dow /, then it wss
the turn of the conservatives to have their
way, and they did it, and no legislative caucus
resolutions were interposed, to counterfeit the
effect of these obnoxious measures.
With this experience before us, we must be
permitted to hesitate as to the extent of the
confidence to be reposed in the resolves of the
Wing Legislative Convention. We hope that
the majority by which they were passed, are
moo sincere in their action, and that they
will have nerve enough to adhere to their de-
Examinations. We hope they have learned
wisdom by their antecedents, and will shew it
in their future course. But this we do not
hesitate to predict, and risk our character for
augury on its ful6lment, that if they carry
out, in their practical application, the spirit of
these resolutions, diluted as they are, as COM
pared with the Wing position of lS47, they can
do it only by the disruption of the ties which
hold them to thesection of the party which op-
posed the resolutions, the section which al
ways has ruled the party, and which will
ruin it rather than yield its rule.

KIDNAPPING AT NEwPoRT.-Two children
of Charles Denton Of Newport, half-breed,
have nysteriously disappeared from that town
within few days, under such circumstances
as lead to the supposition that they have been
kidnapped and carried away. through the con-
niyancc of their father. The children are of a
bright Mulatto color, aged 8, and years. On
the evening OF March 18th, the father went
out of his house, carrying the children with
him, saying that he would take them to walk,
and then 20 to the butchers for meat. At 10
P. M. he returned without the children, in
ouired for them, and, ON being informed that
that they had not returned, declared that they
must be lost. Upon the following day he mo-
tiled some of his friends (colored people, Of
the matter, and they advised him to go to the
Mayor, but this he declined or neglected to do
In the meantime, every exertion has been
made TO find the children, but thus far with
out success. A Newport correspondent of the
New York Tribune says. the prevailing supPo-
sition III regard to the fate of these childrenis,
that they were forced into boat, with the
connivance or consent of the father, and put
on board some vessel going South This be-
lief Is strengthened from the fact that on the
night Of their disappearance, the shrieks Of
children and the sound Of oars were heard BY
two females, sleeping on board the steamer
Perry, then lying at her wharf, at Newport.
The story Of the father il an improbable one,
and he has been committed to jail, on suspi-
cion Of having been accessory to their abduc-
lion.

Correspondence of 1hc Sow,

Iowa CRY, CAPITOL OF Iowa, March 81.
Mr.. EDITOR, Dear Sir Having little
leisure time, and thinking that, perhaps, there
were some people in your good city, that would
like to emigrate to the West, and, being my
self native OF Worcester, 1 have taken the
liberty to address you and them, through the
columns of your valuable paper, on the pros
poets of the West.
To the young men would say, come out
here by all means, for this is the country. AL
ready employment, at first rate prices. Car
painters, Blacksmiths, Boot and Shoe makers,
are in great demand. Let the man with
family, and of limited means, come here and
pre-empt 40, so, or 100 acres, go en and build
log house the first year, and bake enough to
support his family. The second year he can
pay for his farm, and enhance its value to
So, 90 per acre. The third year, he can build
nice frame house, and have matched pair
of horses dashing over the Prairie. The fourth
year, Off he is some punpkins,) he can get an
office, and be one of the Na6obs of the land.
Now, Mr.. Editor, is this not better than to
drag out miserable existence, in trying to
support family, where wages are low, and
where the necessaries of life are usually very
high:
dare not come out, Mr.. Editor, and tell
all do know, for fear should loose my char
acter for truth and veracity among my friends
in Worcester. j will say, however, that, if
any one is disposed to doubt me, l would
refer him to the U. S..Patent Office Reports,
and they viii see that the following cslcula-
ton is too low:-Cost Of raising Corn per bush
ell, 5 cts, Oats, cts, Potatoes, cts, Buck
wheat, (sure crop,) 5 cts, all other grains and
vegetables in proportion. Of Winter Wheat,
there is none raised of any account, from the
fact, that there is no snow to cover the ground
The present prices, among farmers, are, Corn,
rs a 80 cts, per bushel, Oats, % cts, Pota-
toes, So cts, Wheat about so cts, Buckwheat,
So cts, &c.
Money is worth from 80 to so per cent. and
have known rs per cent. paid for money in
this place, on land speculation
1t would astonish some of the citizens of
Worcester, to go into our Land Office, and
see the crowds of Yankees, Buckeyes, Hoos-
iers, Suckers, Pukes, Hawkeyes, and Wolver-
ines, congregated there, to secure land. And
yet we have enough left for all who desire it.
/ have often wondered, while standing ON the
docks in Boston and New York, and seeing
the crowds of foreigners landing, where they
all went to, but l have learned since have
been the West that thousands come to this
country, and yet we cannot find them, the
country is SO large; and there is so much
land to tie acre, that thousand families
might settle here, and not be scarcely noticed.
A few words to the ladies, and / elose-there
are a great many old bachelors here, who have
good farms, but they are lonely, they want
companions to share the comforts ofa Western
life, with them. would advise some of the
fair damsels Of New England, especially if
they have turned the first or second corner, to
ernigrate to Iowa Immediately. Yours, &c.

FATAL RAILROAD AccIDENT.-On Friday,
about o'clock, as the passenger train was
coming down from Albany, on the Hudson
River Railroad, some two miles above the tt
VIOLA station, it ran foul of some large rocks,
which few minutes before had rolled down
on to the track. The locomotive, tender, and
some baggage and mail cars, we've smashed to
atoms = throwing baggage, mail-bags, and
fragments in every direction, to a considerable
distance. When the train finally came to a
stop, it was found that mangled and groaning
persons were under the ruins, and the most
energetic efforts were made by all present to
remove the rubbish and extricate the sufferers
The engineer was found horribly crushed, and
gaspine, and one or two brakemen and fire.
men were badly bruised and burned under
the engine, whom it was thought could not
live more than few hours.
The New York Tribune of Saturday eve
ming, says the names of the killed are: ]. Nc
Laughlin, brakeman; Charles Betran, brake
man, died from his injuries this forenoon.
Seriously isyurea-James w. Scott, some

able to continue in charge of the gain.
None Of the passengers were injured.
There were seven persons in the baggage car,
employees on the road-who were but slight
ly injured. The car was smashed to pieces.

The Duel.

The Cutting and Breckenridge difficulty has
been settled without bloodshed. The expect
ed duel, which kept Washington in state of
excitement for week, and which produced
considerable distraction to the Sergeant at
Arms, police, and friends Of the parties, has
happily exploded before the pistols were charg
ed. Messrs. Cutting and Breckenridge are
both safe in their persons, and have resumed
their seats in the House of Representatives,
there to deliberate and legislate for the benefit
Of the country.
We are glad that blood has not been shed
in this quarrel, but we are nevertheless ofopin-
ion that it has been an affair that should meet
with the stern reprobation of the people. The
dignity of the Legislature has been insulted,
the sanctities of debate outraged, land the prac-
tice of barbarians introduced into the deliber-
alive councils of this nation. These, men elect
ed to make laws for the government ola civili-
zed ommunity-elected to represent, respect
able, rational men-get up in the Capitol and
give the reins to their passions,as if they were
Camanches instead of Christians. They set
the laws Of the land, the laws of reason, and
the Laws of God, at defiance, and strive to
blow the souls out of each others bodies with
lead, OF to cut each others throats.
We think such men as Breckenridge, and
Cutting should never have public opportuni-
ty to exhibit their sanguinary dispositions, and
their want of sense. Congress is expected to
be a place for gentlemen to exchange ideas,
and not for passionate bulies to exchange
shots. When we get rid of Slavery we shall
probably get rid of such unseemly, and dis
graceful exhibitions, as that which we now
have occasion to comment upon.
