horn somewhere within the limits of Christendom:
And Just as well might the Jacobns, who 'decreeu
God out of his Universe have dubbed thelr cluo
tChristian Association because they were porn on
Christian SOIL The genuine disciples of true Amer
canism like the genuine followers OF the cross, are
those whose hearts warmed and hred-purleu'

tive systems
It is for this reason that Kamtschatkan, Briton
n Jew or Hindoo can be good a Christian as
any one born on Cavary's brow or where the
Sermon on the Mount was preached And Tor
the same reason an Irishman, Frenchmail, Uer,
man, Russian can be as thoroughly american
as if he had been born within the walls OF the oid
independence Hall itself Which was the true
American party Arncld or Hamilton? The one

Is it not time they had shown their hand? Dothey

this the course marked out for themselves by any OF
the gallant old wings of the It'll and 6th congress

they do not intend thus to commit themselves, Is IL
not time to take a reckoning, and see whittier they

where is the hope Of safety? have been cited 10
the resolution which, it is said, the late knownot
ing convention passed in Macon. This, 1t seems, Is
the only thing that the GOO delegates could bring
forth after two days labor, and of it we may
we'll say, 'MOates pGrtuTaent ct T'decutas anus mas

meckly and submissively, what no man south OF
Mason and Dixons line for the last thirty tive years
would have ventured to deny without justly subject,
ing himself to the charge of ancfrs2- that Is, tlal
Congress has no constitutional power to Intervene
by excluding new State applying for admission
into the Union, upon the ground that the constitu-
ton of such State recognises slavery This is the
whole life and soul oft unless we except thc secreG

The Ext1rAr1oN OF ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
seem to have had real jubilee in New York during
the past week The Civilizations of the Tribune in
dcatc confidence in the carly accomplishment OF
its great design of severing the contcdcracy Which
may we'll awaken the attention and enlist the ener-
gies of the friends of the Union. The TACT which
first calls (o~h the exultant comments of that jour
nal is that the aboltionSts have been allowed to as
semble night after night, and to put forth their
reasonable doctrines before large assemblies, and
yet that no effort was made either Is disturb or 70
prevent ther proceedings. In other times, it says
that when the Summers, Wilson's PhilliPse$, Par
kers and CSarrisons attempted to haTanSue New
York audiences they wer. aSsailed with h!sseS and
driven out with Violence but now " the interest
and enthusiasm Of these anti-slavery gatherings
We're not only most uneNampled, but seemed to
grow the sessions were protracted; and yettherc
was Captain Rynders there to stand upon the
platform and command the American Anti-Slavery
Society to cease its DISCUSSIONS. In the same strain
the Tribune proceeds
L" But now what Il change! New York covers that
blot in her escutcheon with ample repentance. She
the proud tag OF free dlScuSSIon never, We
hope to be displaced. All the members Of Union
committees ask Of us is the Christian charity OF be-
ing forgotten? The mobbed and eXilcd Idea returns
TO take possession, and crowd that the Tabernacle
walls could not have held gathers TO its sessions.
And who are its speakers? Massachusetts senator's!
That Governor Everett who doubted the Yankee
right to ask questions has since then been in the
Senate and faded out from pure ineifciency. His
successor comes to the Metropolitan Theatre to say
that any party which lifts finger to arrest the an
ii slavery movement will die, ought to die, that he
will do his utmost to make it die Mr.. W Webster,
a Massachusetts senator, in 1850 pledged his ready
to the fhgitveslave bill to its utmost
extent, TO its almost ertcnt His successor refuses
to call it law; asks the country in the name of
justice and humanity to make it 4 dead letter; and
five thousand hearts smother half his emphatic pc
Rod in the uncomfortable burst of their enthusiastic
amen. Massachusetts calls back Burns, and her leg
islature orders the slave commissioner to be
dercd instead, with all the 'aacGity MIR. Webster adj
vscd."
Heretofore the city of New York has been regarded
by southern sound the sectional question;
but if the picture OF the progress ofaboitoaisn drawn
by the Tribune is not greatly exaggerated, that city
seems to be in danger Of losing It's former reputation.
But the Tribune finds cause OF eXutation in the fact
that aboitionism has trun Pied over know nothing
ism and usurred the very organization which had Civ
en- tits power. Southern men who have been cheated
into the idea that abotoniSm and nothing ism
arc not combined together, and VINO rely upon the
fact that the Tribune stands opposed to know-noth-
ingsm, will be proiited by the following announce
nent by that journal:
-" When potent club, organised in secret and
rooted deep in seCtaran and national hate, wakes in
blank establishment to find that its tOel planned
yanl.ati0n h"s been taken possession Of By tile gen.
iuS Of @nti-sncery end its guns, sotted 10 the lips

Hills and they smoke. Sho elects Seacrd in spite
OF tie rage Cfn1any toes combined, and Massachu-
sets legislature, under her auspicies shows so
cool hardihood in planning wholesale resistance
to the slave power turns all Hunkcrtlom pale.'
Before southern men become know nothings, they
should study this significant declaration of the lead
ing organ of abotonism: its aceIL-pianned organ-
z0tiOn has been taken possession o. by the genius Of
In this announcement we have the
clue to the progress of abolitonism-it has COM
oined with know-nothingsln, taken possession of
is secret organization and controlled the results of
elections, allowing the know-nothings the empty
honor of shouting their victories.
