Fusion Consistency.

N- a.
The follow ing is the opinion epterlained Of
the Free Sellers, by the Ohio State Journal,
one year ago. 1t was the leading Wing paper
in ohio, but is now an asdent advocate of the
Fusion movements: .
"What would the wbigs Of The country gain
by an amaleamation Of Wings and Free Soil
ersl Certainly no desirable object could be
achieved by such an alliance. No party IN
the State is more at variance with wing prin-
ciples than the Free Soil Party. The platform
published and adopted by this party at their
lastState Convention contains M0REpLTRA-
ISM AND ABSURD D0GMAS THAN. ANY
PAPER OF A POLITICAL CHARACTER
EVER PUBL SHED IN THE UNION"
The Ravenna Sentinel says:-The above ex-
tract needs no comments. 1t is a fair exem-
plifcation Of Fusion consistency. Then emo
party in the State was more at variance with
Wing principles than the Free Soil party,"--
now these two parties can meet each other and
embrace. They ore all on The same platform

nal Of to-day. What is the cause Of this grea'

Nebraska and Kansas to be Free

The most interesting address delivered al
the Saratoga Convention, was that Of Mr.. Kim
ball, the emigrant agent, WIN impaired some
very valuable information 10 the success Of the
emigrant movement:
"Several hundred additional emigran's are
10 leave on the 26thof this month from New
York, Boston, and other northern and eastern
cities, and the northern mind, it was stated,
every where sympathised with this movement.
The emigrsnts now IN Kansas had every assn
rance that The territory would become a free
Stale, and Mr.. Rimball seemed 10 entertain
no doubt OF this fact. One Missourian who
had crossed the Stale with four slaves, hadre
crossed it again with hi slaves. The reason
Of il was that slaves could stand no chance
alongside ofsucb . body OF Yankee emigrah,s.
As one thousand more would go from the east
this summer, there wss no doubt Of the sue
cess of the enterprise.
"Such partial facts the wise men OF The
Convention regarded rs worth a thousand the
cries or opinions embodied IN the shape oil sea-
time ntal resolutions"

THE Know MORNINGS IN CoNGREss.-The
Know Nothings seem to be taking their stand in
Congress, where it is said they number sixty or
seventy, with the same fearessncss and indepsnd-
ence of Che old parties as they have evinced else
where. bill has been introduced by them,
already to regulate our naturalization laws;
and another to prevent the enlistment of per-
sons of foreign birth into the Army and Navy !;
and also to prevent the emigration to this coun-
try, OF foreign paupers and convicts, objects
which we think should commend themselves to
every true American whether member of that
order or not.
Whatever may be said of the dangers of this
order becoming eventually tho pro-slavery en-
gino Of the South, one thing they certainly are
entitled to credit for from the opposers of slave
ry at the North, and that is for having becoms

A DISTINCTIVE ANTI-sLAVERY PRESS.
SHALL 1T DE sIrsTAINEnP

MANY seem inclined to believe that there is
now no need Of keeping up "a distinctive Anti
Slavery press in this State, on the ground that
the whole Wing press is Anti-Slavery, How
much more Anti-Slavery now is the Wing press
in Vermont, than was the Democratic press IN
1S49 and so! And where would have now
been the Free-Soil party, had not the distinctive
Free-Seil press kept on, and been sustained
through that crisis? What guarantees have we
for the permanence of the present coalition, that
we had not for the coalition of 1880 and
81, except in the increased popularity of our
cause! Let the old fiiends of freedom ponder
this matter for at this crisis, it is most i'm
portant one. And if they decide that it is still
expedient to keep up a distinctive Anti-Savery
press, "to fight on and fight ever" whether
Others fall in or fall off, let them give that press
Q Iging, not dying support. Let the leading
!shsisSatery men of each ncighborhood spend
one day in obtaining paying subscribers, to keep
good the losses occurring by death, removal,
&c., and to give additional strength to our
press. Let them do this, if they would have
us live, and let them neglect us, if they would
see the cause, and the press that specially advo-
Gates it, go down together.
Well has the able and far-seeing Editor of
the Natioral Era, uttered his advice and warn
ing, to the old friends of freedom in the follow
ing brief but timely appeal to them on the
subject -
"But, this great movement is not yet clearly
defined. There is danger that the Elements
which have given it force, may become disor-
ganized, Or that the party that may grow out of
them, may fall short of the true standard of
political Anti-Slavery action, contenting itself
with halfway, compromising pulley. How
can this evil be best prevented BY extending
the circulation and influence of that portion
of the press which has made Slavery its special
study, familiarizing itself with the tactics of
the Slave Power, and pointed out what is now
so generally recognized to be the only efficient
way of dealing with it. If you would prevent
the Republican party from providing failure,
maintain your Anti-Slavery press. Never was
there time when its influence was more needed.

THE OsrEND MEErNG.-It is pretty well I'M
derstood that the Meeting of the American
Ministers, last Summer, at Ostend, the hitherto
mysterious object of which has been made a
subject Of enquiry in Congress, had for its pur-
pose plan to Induce the government of the
United States to declare to other nations, that
our interests and safety demanded of US the
possession of Cuba, and that we should have it
either by purchase or conquest We thought
the administration, uuder whose auspices this
meeting, as we'll as the secret organization Of
Atkinson in Missouri probably, took place, were
decidedly opposed to all secret movements and
organizations. These movements, however, are
intended to serve the interests of the Slave
Power, and that alters, the case entirely

THE SLAvEocRAr's PARADIsB-Rev Dr.
Brownlow, who publishes the Wing in the
state Of Tennessee, appears to have a very fit
and proper idea OF what slave state should
be. We cannot do better than to copy his
lucubrations, because they show, LIST, that
Democratic principles are making their way
rapidly in Tennessee, and 3D. that such ideas
are altogether inconsistent with slavery. The
paradise of the slave holder is q place where
he can whip, hang, and murder at discretion !;
where he can have his own hellish way and
domineer as the devil domineers in Pandemo-
mum. But to the quotation.
"There is great deal OF Abolitionism in
East Tennessee, and with it fearful increase
of insolence and hellish daring on the part of
negroes Negroes take more liberties in East
Tennessee, and display more insolonce in their
lnlereouse with the white people, than any
WHERE We have ever been, and we have trav-
eled Extensively. Many of the negroes can
