be exercised in various degrees and in various
ways; and whenever it is called into action, II
cannot legitimately be attended with that ex,
element which is incident to the agitation OF
the Slavery Question in the direction of an at
tack upon constitutional rights.
" An agitation of that kind such as we have
seen industriously prosecuted in the past history
of our country by the destructive spirit of Abo-
litionism, can never be productive of aught but
evil, and is calculated in an eminent degree to
obscure the glories of the past, to evoke the
foulest spirit of discord among the citizens OF
our common country, and also to mar our bril-.
liant future, if not to endanger the existence OF
our cherished Union. A want of fidelity to the
solemn compacts of the Constitution, and an
attack upon the rights of the States which are
guaranteed by it, can have no justification or
excuse. This view of the case, however, is not
to be COMPOUNDED with the discussion and settle
ment of the Slavery question in our Territory,
in its bearings upon the formation of our insti-
tutions. That has been referred to us as an
open question by the legitimate action of the
nation, and here it is not only the privilege but
the duty of every man to speak his opinions
freely, and enforce them peaceably and fairly.
Advocate and opponent stand on the same
ground, and must mutually concede to each
other the identical measures of right which they
claim for themselves. Freedom of opinion and
freedom of discussion, without RIGHTEOUSNESS,
are of the very essence of republcanism at all
times, are peculiarly to be respected here. The
permanent character and high authority of a
State Constitution, and the fact of its submis-
sion to direct vote of the people of the Ter
ritory, indicate that event as signal occasion
for the decision of that peculiar question. In
the mean time, however, a Territorial Legisla.
ture may undoubtedly act upon the question to
limited and partial extent, and may tenn
porarily prohibit, tolerate, or regulate Slavery
in the Territory, and in an absolute or modified
form, with all the force and effect of any other
Legislative act, binding until repealed by the
same power which enacted it."

unavoidable reason, left behind on the way.

Moral Fragrance.

"What pity" said little boy to his ia,
ther, as they walked through the garden,
''that the rose, after blooming does not pro.
duce fruit, and thus return a thank-oferinp
in summer, for the lovely season of its spring
life. Now, it is called the flower of inno-
cence and JOY; then it would be also the en-
biem of gratitude" The father answered
"Does it not offer all its loveliness to beau
tify the spring; and, for the dew and light
which it receives from above, does it not fill
the air with its delicate fragrance? Thus,
like gratitude, bestowing charm unseen,
which enhances every other good. Created
for the spring, it dies with the spring =
but Its withered leaves retain portion of
Its sweet tragrance-so in the heart of inno-
cence, does gratitude abide, after the kind
deed which called it forth is forgotten"

A Lady;s Opinion,

The poet Campbell says that he once
heard lady of distinguished beauty and

from the charge of having been guilty. Of
paying attention to ladies without intending
to follow them up by an offer of his hand,
A gentleman remarked that he thought
Sir Thomas was highly blameable NO.
replied the lady, who was said to have been
herself the temporary object of the great
painters attention; mo, not exactly-not SO
much to blame" said the lady, musingly.
"What| exclaimed the gentleman-8you
astonish me. Not to blame for such con
duct| "No, not so much" was still the
ladies musing response. Scan you defend
such behavior as desertion!" 'Why, SIR
interrupted the lady, "to confess the truth,
am firmly of opinion that the majority of
women would rather be cowted and tilted,
than not courted at aH."
