Mr.. EDItoR

Mr.. EDlfoR:
VIM. Goodell says he would have q
union with persistent horse thieves, to abolish
horse stealing" but it must be y union IN which
"each man constants end agrees that the community
shall punish him if he commits criminal aggres-
sion" The good people of New York are in just
such union with horse thieves; and these thieves
are considered fit subjects for the penitentiary.
But suppose a majority of the n. Y. Legislature
were persistent horse thieves, and their abettors,
backed by the people, who were ruling the State
as with q rod of iron. Would Mr.. Goodell have
union with them lie rould not. Whatever may
be the meaning of the T.. S. Constitution, MIR. IT,.
will admit that the Northern States are nor in
union with the Southern, ''for the protection of
slavery and slaveewners." Tho majority of the
United States Congress are Shareholders and their
~abettors, who will not consent that community
shall punish them when they commit criminal ag-
gressions." They are forever committing such
aSgressions; and community cannot punish them
as she does her horse thieves. The fact is, we.
like the people Of Kansas, are the captives of
tyrants and barbarians, and we call it union. Such
a union is captivity. Can the Union be saved p
No, impossible. Let US save ourselves then"
"ftrst be just, and then be generous; first cease
to support the STAKEHOLDER and then assist the
slave as best We can. OF course in these remarks,
| do not imply that Mr.. G., intends to support the
Shareholder, IN his crime,-ftr from it. Not so
with republicans and sinners" in Michigan. In
full view of the aggressiOns of the Slave power,
they hold themselves "absolved from all cnmpro-
misses, except the compromises of tho Constitution,
for the protection Of slavery and slaveowners,"--
All compromises are to be ahsolvsd; but these ",for
The protection Of slaUery and slaceoOners" are to
be held sacred " Republicans, Democrats and
Wings all tell me, eve must obey the Constitu
tion." However, my conviction is. that | must
not obey their Constitution. "Let it 20 to the
Devil" II wiN not hare far to trarel.
Yours, for truth ard right.

CONCLUSION OF THE NATIONAL K. N.
CONVENTION.

AS we stated last week the pro-slerefy resolu.
tons of the Committee which we then published,
were adopted. Afterward, the delegates from
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine,
Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and Wisconsin assembled and
issued an appeal to the people Of the United States
after which they left for home, none of them re,
turning to the Convention. The delegates from
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Indiana continued
in Convention, entering their protest against the
slavery resolution.
The following is the address referred to:
IT. the People Of the United States:
The undersigned. citizens of various States, as
sembled at Philadelphia on the 18th day of June,
1855, feel constrained under the existing state Of
affairs to affirm the following principles:
First-The unconditional restoration of that
time-honored Compromise, known as the Missouri
Prohibition, which was destroyed in utter disre'
gard Of the popular villa wrong which no lapse
of time can p~alliate, and no plea for its contlnu'
ance can justify. And that we will use all consti-
tutional means to maintain the positive guarantee
of that compact, until the object for which it was
enacted has been consummated by the admission
of Kansas and Nebraska as Free States.
Second-That the right of the settlers in Terri
tories to the free and undisturbed exercise of the
elective franchise guaranteed to them by the laws
under which they are organized, should be prompt
ly protected by the National Executive whenever
violated or threatened. And that we cannot con-
scientiously act with those who will not even per
nit their fair consideration and their full discus
sion.
Third-We further declare our continued ant
sunalterable determination to use all honorable eff
forts to secure such a modification of the NATURAL
zation laws, aided by such an elevation of public
sentiment as will preserve the true interests OF thu
Nation, and will guarantee the three vital princi
pies of a Republican Government SPIRITUAL
FREEDOM, A FREE BIBLE AND FIRE
SCIIOOLS-thereby promoting the great work o
Americanizing Amerca.
Fourth-That we invoke the arm of Legislation
to arrest that growing evil, the deportation by for
eign authorities of paupers and convicts to GU
shores, and that, as our National Constitution re
quires the Chief Executive of our country to be 0
native birth, we deem it equally necessary ant
important that our Diplomatic representative
abroad should also possess no foreign prejudice
to bias their Judgment or to Influence their othcia
action.

The CUBAN JuNrA, it seems was most crnelly
swindled and finally betrayed to the Cuban and
American Governments by those who have fiched
$3.50, 900 Of their funds. From m article in the
New York Sun on the subject, we copy the fol-
lowing paragraph. Slavery propagandists are not
men of the most scrupulous honesty. The Sun
says:
According to our information the two steamers
were chartered under the following strange condi-
tons: $50. 900 on concluding the agreements; $50
600 within thirty days thereafter; $4,000 when
the captain reported himself ready to sail the
whole to be forfeited if they did not start in thirty
days from the time the ships were reported ready
for sea. The payments were made in good faith,
when. 10 within the time allowed for sailing the
Government was informed (by the contracting par.
ties it was supposed)o the state of matters, and
the plans of the Junta were thrown into confusion,
The Government had their secret, and the Cuban
authorities soon had it also; and $l50,O00 were
swept away by one foul, atrocious piece of treach-
cry.

Who were the Revolutionary Heroes

The Boston Post says: "The PennSylva
MAN applies the following scrap of history t
the Know Nothings and "Sons Of the sires 0
TO-" 1t is taken from The examination of NJ
Galloway before the British parliament:
QueStion.-Thot part Of the rebel arm
that enlisted 10 the service Of the congress,
were they chiefly composed Of The natives o.
America, or were the greater part Of then
English, Dutch and Irish
AnSwcr.-The names and places of their ma.
tivily being taken down, | can answer the
question with precision There were scarce
ly one fourth natives Of America, about one
half Irish, the other fourth were English and
Scotch.
This scrap may be uDpalalable TO the secret
order, Gu! truth will vindicate itself. All who
have read the history of our war of indepen-
dence, and of the Pennsylvania line in par
iicular, will have seen that there were onhy
1900 Irish in that famous line through the
war. What would that proportion give OF the
present day Figure it up, ye pure Ameri-

Know N%othingiSm has that gutto perchn

undisguised a~bolilionism. At the South, it

10 preserve the Union unlmpaifed aud the
Constitution undefled. In every State in the
Union save one, the religious test principle is
made part and parcel Of the order and in the
exceptional State this plank is taken out by
Know Nothingism in order to accommodate the

That the Know Nothings ond AGolitionists
are "birds of a feather" is very evident, from
the factthat, while they are ST.. wing 10 disrran-
chise and degrade white men, who happen
like their own fathers and grandrathers-to
have been born on o foreign soil, they give
their contenance 10 the efforts that are con-
SANITY making, TO admit negroes 10 oil the
privilege OF citizenship. We have an instance
Of this thing, in the recent movements to dis
band volunteer companies composed of for
eign' born citizens, and transfer their arms 10
companies Of colOred men. In X. N. Massa-
cbusetts, the Irish militia companies have
been deprived Of their arms, while in the
neighboring State ofRhode Island, in the city
oil Providence, a militia company of negroes
has been formed, and the Legislature have
granted them the use of the State arms, and
equipments. II is the same in Cincinnoti.--
A company of da,kcyS called the "Attuck

formed, and armed by the State and now
we hear that Gen. Sargent has issued an orde,

Chase and the Know Nothings-M6re Dissat-

A Know Nothing correspondent of the Gin
%cinnati Times, writing from Newark, Licking
county, in this Slate, SAYS the Know Nothing
organization there generally Tepudiaie CHASE,
except in two townships there are no promi-
nent men in his favor. No paper in Licking
county advocates his claims. He says the
same feeling exists in Perry and MuSkingum

roll ~ their sleeves and go 10 work like men
for Scott Harrison, Slanbery, or Fishback, or
Taylor, or Van Trump, or any other & cd and
reliable candidate.
The American Citizen, The Know Nothing
organ in Highland county, repudiaies the
whole ticket. 1t says:
"The abolition Convention which met at
Columbus on the 18th, put in nomination theft
most prominent man, Mr.. Chase, for Governor,
and filled out the ticket with men OF known
Abolition sentiments for years past, or whose
SympathieS were known 10 have long tended

demOgogues and outsiders were in earnest
when they called the whole organi cation "a

Bile Of doing anything. But they will find
their mistake in Supposing that the American
party had anything 10 do with that affair, OF
ha We any design Of adopting and voting for a
single name presented and Chase is not q
particle more objectional then any Of The 9TH

the organ OF The wings in Washington county,
Ohio, comes 10 US with the proceedings Of the
