" No more Slave States.

The wings have generally assented TO the
of " no more slave stales,' and il has now be-
come sort of whig maxim. Some of the
Union-loving wings, however, cannot assent to
such doctrine, and among them is Judge
WILLIAM DUER Of New York, who is a dis
tinguished whig, and was always whig 10 a
letter to the citizens Of Oswego, New York,
who had invited him 10 public dinner, Judge
Duer says -
The wings of New York have been adj
vised-I might use stronger term-bv con-
veutOn recently held at Saratoga, to adopt as
a principle that no more slave states shall be
admitted into the Union. Now il is, | believe,
generally admitted that each state may establish
or prohibit slavery al its pleasure, and that the
general government has no power whatever
over slavery within the several states. But il
may be said that congress has a discretionary
power TO admit or refuse admission to new
state, and that consequently, having power 10
reject altogether, it may impose terms as con-
dltlon Of admission. This argument assumes
the right to refuse admission to new states in
all eases, and II Is, therefore, important to in
9ulre whetner congress possesses such power.
Mr.. John Quincy Adams was of opinion that il
did not. Upon the question of the admission
Of Arkansas into the Union, he said. can
not consistently, with my sense of INV oblioa-
tIons as citizen Of the United States snd
bound by oath to support their cons,itutiouwI
cannot object to the admission of Arkansas into
the Union as slave state l cannot propose
or agree to make it condition of her admis-
sion that convention of her people shall ex-
Punge this article from the constitution. She
is entitled to admission as a slave state, as
Louisiana and Mississippi and Alabama and
Missouri have been admitted by virtue of that
article in the treaty for the acquisition Of Lou
isiana, which secures TO the inhabitants of the
ceded territories all the rights, privileges and
immunities of the original citizens Of the United

The Sandwich Islands.

lhe Albany Evening Journal insists that
treaty has been agreed upon for annexinp
these Islands to this country, and that the fol-
lowing are the terms go
We learn, from well informed sources at
Washington, that the terms Of the Treaty are
substantially as follows -
The Islands are to be at once admitted into
the Union, not as a Territory, but AZ 4 State
with full State sovereign powels. In CON
sideration Of this surrender of their National
sovereignty, the United States, besides agree
Ing to respect all existing charters, land titles,
&c., are to pay some $500, 900 or $4OO, ZOO
annually as life annuities to such persons as
the sovereign authorities shall designate. It
is believed that the number who will be de-
clared entitled to share in this annuity, will
not exceed thirty individuals, including the
king, his two sons, and the members Of the
House Of Mobiles, all Of whom are now rich.
and constitute the great land-holders of the
Kingdom. Their ages average about 40
years and the sum to be paid 10 each will
cease to be debt upon the U. S. Government,
at their DEATH
besides the sovereignty of the Islands, all
the government property, including buildings
claims upon foreign governments. &c. viii
it is understood, be transferred to the iJ s
Government by this treaty. The value Of
these buildings alone is said to exceed ST..
800, 900, and the claims upon the French and
British Governments to about $500 900 more.
making an aggregate Of $2, 900, 900.
These terms though not extravagant, are
yet liberal. The Islands would prove impor-
tant acquisitions to the United States, com
mercially and politically. Our rapidly grow
ing commerce in the Pacific requires them, as
places Of trade and shelter. Their products
are exactly what our ships require, and in the
event of a war with any commercial nation,
their possession would be invaluable. Nor
will all the benefits Of this acquisition be On
our side. The Islands themselves Will at once
feel the impulse of new life, and become ulti-
mately as rich as they are now salubrious.
But, there is one additional fact, which
cannot fail to have an important influence in
the decision of this question. These Islands
thanks to the spirit Of true Christianity,
which has swayed the councils Of the King
dom-have never tolerated slavery, and their
islands, therefore, will come in as free State,
and will add one more to the undimmed stars
which make up our glorious galaxy.

States, and stpulates for their admission con
formally To that principle into the Union. :
Now, the treaty with Mexico, by which Cali
fornia and New Mexico were acquired, con-
tains clause in the very words Of that Il
which Mr.. Adams refers in the treaty for the
acquisition of Louisiana. There is similar
stipulation but in language still more explIc-
| it, in the joint resolution annexing Texas.
| Now-without arguing or even expressing an
opinion upon this question: submit whether
! it would be worth while TO adopt principle
which would exclude Mr.. Adams, If alive,
from the whig party. upon the ground of his
not being sufficiently anti-slaverY. C0uld re-
gard the repeal Of the fugitiUe Stare lars, as a
less ultra and dangerous measure for the
Gueitiue SlaUe ldlO inUoLUeS, At as true, consti-
t,aioual right, but one that as of little practical
consequence, aCtiLe the course proposed inUolUeS
constitutional principle of immense uahle, both
as respects the rights of property and the dis
tr1bo1tion Of political pO,Otr."
Judge Duer's advice to his political friends,
as to the formation of sectional parties, is
equally decided and strong. He writes =
b" You have been advised TO abandon the
whig party, and to unite with abolitionists and
such democrats as may be willing TO join you,
for the purpose of forming new party whose
only principle shall be opposition TO slavery
Such party must of course be purely section
al Every southern state and every southern
man would be necessarily excluded from it,
1t would be Union within the Union union
of the north to govern the south. Now, such
party might meet with temporary success );
under first impulse, many men would be
ready 10 give vent TO their indignation through
almost any channel but | am confident that
its end would be defeat, ruin and disgrace
Let US, however, take the other alternative !;
let US suppose this new party TO be completely
successful that it elects its president and vice
president and majority of members in both
branches of congress. and fills all its Offices
with anti-slavery men that it abolshes slavery
in the District Of Columbia, and in all the ter
rtories, arsenals and dock-yards of the United
States; prohibits the domestic slave trade; /;
refuses to admit any new slave state into the
Union, ard repeals all laws for the delivery Of
fugitive slaves is there any man in his senses
who believes that the Union could stand such
measures under such auspices! If there be,
cannot reason with him. Unless, then, there
has been provocation, an injury sufficient to
call for the dissolution of the Union, | think il
better for the present 10 take the advice Of the
father of his country, and abstain from the
formation of sectional parties.''

GERRITT SMITH ON CUBA-The following
is very sensible extract from late speech o.
this ultra Aboltionist, in which he declares
himself for the annexon Of Cuba =
Let Cuba come to Us if she wishes to come
She belongs 10 US by force Of her geographical
position. Let her come, even if she shall not
previously abolish her slavery.
| would not force Cuba into our nation, nor
pay $3.50, ,OOO,0OO for her, nor $4,000 ,OOO

wishes TO come, would have her come and
that | may be more clearly understood on this
point, | add, that | would not have her wait

ment. Now, if this is jfAbuster1Sn, then all

A NEBRASKA CANDlDATE.-We believe that
Mr. nickerson. The democratic candidate for
congress in this district, was the only one of
our congressional candidates who took posi-
tion directly in favor Of the Nebraska bill. He
was one Of its original supporters, one of the
very first in the state. His position on this
question was open 10 every one and understood
by all. The return Of votes, shows that Mr..
D. has made the best run of any congressional
candidate in the state,-with perhaps one ex-
ception This shows that the opposition 10
Nebraska,-or what was made out of it,-fell
alike on all,-those who opposed as well as
those who advocated or acquiesced in the
measure. The inference is that this issue was
only used fraudulently, and tina: the winning
combination Of fragments Of parties in Maine,
cannot claim this election as an expression on
this question, but only as the success of that
coalition which was formed at Augusta last
winter, and which pressed into its service every
ism that could be used with Republican

No Choice Of G0Ucrnor bY The PeonLc

The Age of Thursday, having had access
to the official returns, publishes the vote for
Governor in the whole State, except three
towns and one plantation, which gave, last
year, Pilsbury 202 votes, and all others 81
According to this publication, Paris (dem.)

There is no choice of governor by the peo-

The whig candidate (Reed) is in a minority

The run is very close.
10 the State Senate, twenty-one have been
chosen, and there is no choice in York (3)
Oxford (2), Somerset (2), Lincoln (2) and
Aroostook (). The Age classifes the fusion
lists elected, as ii Wings, 5 Morrill, men, and
Free Soilers.
In the House, it gives the Democrats Al,
Wings As, Morrill, men 40, and Free Soilers
"a, with one to hear from.
The only Democrats who appear to be
elected to county Offices are, Benz Water
house, County Commissioner for Androscog-
gin, and Daniel w. Ames, Treasurer Of Som
erset. All the rest are wings, Morrillites, OF
Free Sellers.
Thus, the Legislature will have to make
the Governor for 1855. The members of the
House will send two names to the Senate,
and then the Senate will decide between them.

THE New York SORTS The following is
the Nebraska platform Of the New York
Softs' -
ResOhed, That we consider the introduction
Of the clause in the Nebraska and Kansas bill
repeating the Missouri compromise, as mex
pedient, but we are opposed to any agitation,
having in view the restoration of that line, OF
tending to promote any sectional controversy
in relation dhereto-and we congratulate the
country that the results to grow out of that
measure are likely to prove beneficial to the
people of the territories, and that while we
maintain our position, that opinions in regard
to the power of Congress in this matter are
not tests in regard to democracy, we regard
the act Of remuneration by Congress Of the
power it has heretofore exercised over the sub
ject as the practical surrender Of a formidable
function on the part of the federal government,
and as the accession Of right on the part Of
the incipent sovereignties that are to consti-
tute the States of the Union the exercise OF
which can in all probability result only aus
Plciously to the people of the territories and
the peace Of the Union.
