WHOLE NO. 476.

II. Resolved, That in this, in nll other re-
forms the newspaper pS"ss is powerful auxiliary,
and that in TO other way can Ahotionsts better
serve the cause than ly doing whst ray be in their
power to support and extend the circulation Of
antslayery journals.
S,ape1qrd besides the double claim it has upon us
rs the organ Of this Society, well as the official
journal of the parcnt Association, commcnds itself
70 us by its inherent excellence and the distinguish
cd ability and judgment with which it is conducted
and that we regard it as one of the most potent irs-
strumcntllitcs we can employ for the advancement
Of onr cause.
49, Resolved, That prompt and energetic meaS
sures should be taken ly the Executive Committee
and the individual members Of the Society, to en-
large the list of the H.n9a'd'S subscribers, and
that as enc step toward this, it be recommended.
to each person who takes the paper. to procure.
for it, at least, one other subscriber.
20. Resolved That we regard the Pend5ylvani@
AntSayery Fair as an important agency in carry
ing on the Auti-Slayery enterprise and that We
urge upon svery Abotionst Of Pennsylvania the
duty of aiding it, to the extenl o his or her ability.
y. Resolved, That our Treasurer's Report, for
the last year, testiGes to the past liberality Of
Pennsylvania Abolitionists, and iustifes the conf
dencc that they will promptly furnish the money
necessary for carrying on the cause, daring the,
ensuing yc1r.
-. Resolved, That it is, now, cxpedent for us
to raise the sum of one thousand dollars, in cash
and pledges from the friends of the cause here
assembled.
23 Resolved, That the experience of tire pass
year and the present aspects Of cause stimulate
our faith, our hope, and zeal, and that, while
conscious that great and arduous work is before
us we ioyfuly address ourselves to the labours of
another year, confident that enterprise is dss-
tined to complete and glorious success.

need say no more. The doctrines which in
cidentally glanced at in my speech on the Mcxican
Treaty have long bccu precious to me, and have
long sought to make them precious to my fellow
abolitionists. They are doctrines which can ncy-
or surrender so long as | continue to recognize in
the slave all the fulness of rights, which belong to
any other man, and so long MS ! hold the people
superior to the usurpatiOns and conspiracies
which under the stolen name of Government, have
got the contlol of the people. To have Wings
and Democrats confound these doctrines with the
motives of hbustcrs, vulgar politicians ard Office
seekers does, in degree, surprise me, nor wound
my heart, nor disturb my good nature. But CON
less that do feol grieved--aye, and eomotmcs in
dignant--whcn find my fellow abolitionists, by
whose side have stood and suffered and sacrificed
these twenty years, falling into this mistake.
am well aware that there are narrow minded abO-
litionsts as well as narrow minded other men--ab-
otonists who will insist running all abolitonists
into one mOuld-thc same mould of doctrines
thoughts and words. These are tic one-idea abo-
litionists. OF course, the abolitonist who thinks
for himself-and that too, variety Of sg,liects
must suffer not little when he falls into the
hands of such abolitionists, and his character and
proportions come under their forcing and stereo-
typinG process. But there are large minded abo-
litionists, also and am always very sad when |
see them allow the spirit of bgory to invade theit
noble nature, and to transform them into ilhberal
and unchariable Judges Of their fellow al olition-
lists
hope that both you and the public will pardon
this letter. dislike to appear in defence of my
sell--and very seldom do. But incessanty as
sailed as l am, at every point in my conduct and
character--and that too by both friends and foes
lit seems cxcusablc that | should, now and then,
speak for myself If however, l may never de-
fend myself, still may not, as have done in parts
OF this letter, defend great and cherished doctrines,
when thc.s are struck ut, throu IN myself?
With great regard,
your friend,

THE New STATE HoUEE.-By the annual
report of the State House Commissioners,
for the year 1853, which has been laid upon
our table, we learn that the total amount Of
appropriations up to November Is, 1853.
amount to 1881 ,575. There is an une1-
pended balance on hand of Sl7,600 In
June last, a contract was awarded to Ambos
& Lennox for the iron work for the reception
of the roof of the building. The contrac-
tors have greater part of the iron work in
its proper place, and will have the balance
in readiness for the reception of the copper
roof during the present spring. The Com
missoners say that they have prosecuted the
work as rapidly towards completion as their
means would Justify. In order to complete
the building prior to the next meeting Of the
Legislature, an appropriation Of 100000
will be required for the years 1854 and 1858.

Toledo Advertisements.

We visited Toledo last week and spent
part of day there, during which we called
upon several of the business men and
obtained their cards for our paper. Besides
these, we have the promise Of several more.
. These advertisers are gentlemen Of active
business habits, enterprising, liberal, and
possess fine facilities for doing business in
their respective vocations. AS large share
Of the business of the people of Wood coun-
ty must always be done in Toledo, we COM
.lnend to our citizens in an especial manner
those business men who take the troubl2 TO
advertise their business here. 1t is the best
evidence that they have something TO sell,
worthy of public attention, and that they
.are disposed to deal fairly and literally with
their customers.

Walker. the Lower California Fillibuster.

Mr.. Walker is native of Nashville,
Tenn. His father, James Walker, is a
Scotchman by birth-has been resident of
Nashville for thirtyiive years, and is one OF
its wealthiest and most respectable citizens.
He married Mary Norvell the daughter OF
Lipscombe Noryell Of Virginia. During his
college days he was known by his fellow
students as Billy" abbreviated more on
account of his youth than from any tamlll-
arity with them. He was by far the young
est of his class, and could not have been
more than sixteen when he took his degree
as a graduate of the Nashville University,
attracting much attention at the examlnu-
tion by his bold delivery of beautiful class
cal speech on the subject of Texas indie
pendence. Many Of the audience could not
believe that this speech was the production
of mere child. After leaving the Uniyer-
Isity, he devoted himself asslduously to the
study of medicine, and took his degree at
one of the Philadelphia medical Schools
He then spent some time i'll Paris for the
purpose of completing his medical course,
and returned to Nashville, theoretically, al
least, very accomplished physician. The
theory Of medicine must have been more
| pleasant to him than the practice, for he very
soon abandoned it, and devoted himself TO
the study of the law, and after considerable
time spent in preparation, commenced the
practice of his profession in New Orleans.
This he soon changed for the editorial chair,
and gained considerable reputation as a
ready, forcible, and pungent writer. Now
he is the originator and President of new
Republic, but whether his career in his new
capacity will continue, the future alone can
