Power at every point, to mount upon it. True
Ant-Slavery men, it strikes US, cannot and
viii not consent to act with anv party who will
make this question subordinate to any other.
Our Governor in a speech in the Capitol, on
the 22d instant, declared, this will be the
question In 1856, and that we should elect
none but national men to Office He is ma
fioadl to excess. he denounces Know Moth
ings more bitterly than / would, and vet is
Know Nothing in fact. He knows no North,
no South" &c, and "the speeches he makes
North, he would not fear to make South" This
constitutes nationality. Aud what does all this
mean? Simply that Freedom and Slavery are
mere matters of taste, have equal rights"
and ought to be equally respected and provided
for; or that Slavery is national" Here is
"Non-interyention" and Slavery Propaganda
ism.
Now, sir, we want "party of Freedom"
bold and true, who are ready to meet this heart
less position, and drive back the army of the
South, with their odd Line" "Silver Gray"
and Know Nothing allies of the North Let
the battle be between Freedom and Slavery, as
the great antagonisms In this Government, and
let it be understood that he that is not for us
is against u.s. There will be no side or sub
ordinate issues in the South; let there be none
in the North. And as bills in legislation are
generally committed to their friends, so let the
lead in this movement be taken by the men
who regard the Slavery Question as the ques-
ton of the day. We want Convention, early,
TO harmonic the Anti-Savery movement in
the different States. Our State will have to be
lifted up, several steps, before she will be on an
equilibrium platform. We have some fear
she may not be able to stand it; for the heads
Of many seem TO swim, standing upon it now,
low as it is. A reorganization of the Free Soil
party will likely take place in this State.

LET Us LOVE ONE ANOTHER.

Let us love one anotherl not long may we stay
In this bleak world Of mourning, some droop
while It's day;
Others fade in their noon, ard few linger till
Oh! there breaks not heart but leaves scme one
to grieve;
And the fcndest, the puTest. the trrest that met
Have still found the need to forgive and forge.l
Then, ahl though the hopes that we nourished
decay,
Let US love one another as long as we stay.
There hearts like the ivy, tho all be decayed
That it seemed to clasp fondly In sunlight and
shade,
No leaves droop in sadness still gaiy they spreai
Undimmed midst the b!Ighted, the lonely and
dead;
But the mistletoe clings to the oak, not in parts
But with leaves closely round 1.-THE root in its
heart;
Exist but to twine it-imbibe tie same dew,
Or tall with its loved oak and perish there too
Thus let's love one another, nidss sorrow the
worst
Unaltered and fond as we loved at the frst;
Tho the false wing Of pleasure may change and
iorsake,
And the bright urn of wealth into particles break
There are seme sweet affections that gold cannot
buy,
That cling but still closer when sorrow draws
nigh,
And remain with us yet, tio' all else pass away;
Thus let's love one another as long as We stay

running for the last four FIVE hours had render

fog was gradually clearing away, we had ventured
to increase speed: and our engineer. ever at

the track ahead, which was occasionally envel-
oped in thick clouds of the watery vapor. As we
were thus running along, observed the engineer
raise his hand to the cord attached to the whistle
He held 1t for a moment, and then gave the sig
