LESrER FROM SENATOR WILSON, OF MASSACHUSETTS
HIS OPINION ON KNOW EOTHINGIsM, Stair
NIGHTS, SLAVERY AND THE HIGHER Law.
The following letter written the editor of tae
Know Nothing organ in Washington, in answer to GER
tain questions
SENATE CHAMBER, Feb 10, 1856
Ny answer to your inquiries will be brief and OK pcit
fully recognise the doctrine OF State rights in its
application to slavery as well as to any other matter of
The Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of 1885, in the
main, as think, correctly set forth that doctrine.
The whole subject OF slavery within State limits
should b left absolutely to Stale legislation.
Ny response to your second question is included in
my answer to your first DO not entertain the opinion
that Congress has any power interfere with slavery as
exists under State laws.
3. Every who believes in God must necessarily
peheve that there ia law paramount to all human la
and that this law is to be obeyed by in public
and private hfe rather than any human law conflict
with II But see nothing in the constitution Of the
United states as understand the constitution Of the
United States, which requires me, Senator from
Of God. II / thought otherwise would not take AN
cath to support the constitution of the United States
T. fhe American organization in Massachu setts does
mos embrace the question Of slavery among those the
regulation Of which 1t was formed.
The people OF Massachusetts have fxed opinions in
which most Of the members Of that organization fully
concur against the support or allowance of slavery by
national legislation =
They entertain the most profound conviction that ,hs
harmony and repose Of the country and the highest
terests OF the master and the slave demand that the
onal gsvernwent should be relieved f:a Al eonnsstiol
In {ssPoA@?Mty .or slavery and that this dsturbin
Question should be left to the people Of the States wher
while they do not seek to impose these conviction
and opinions upon their fellow citizens of other States
" prescribe them for fully concurring in thos
convictions and opn ons they will submit to dicta
tsn or prescription from any body Of men, section
as Senator from Massachusetts, AL claim for the
opinions Of her people all the freedom of utterance

from virginia can claim for the opinions OF the people Of

the month Of January, 1856, amounted to $427 1886
49, against 1897 232 Sc for the corresponding month
last year, showing an increase OF 800, 104 a. The
earnings Of the first four months Of the present
year. compared with those for the same time in the
previous year show an increase Of $3.50 227. It will
be seen that nearly one.haH Of this aggregate in,
crease was in the receipts for the month Of January
The average increase for TIE previous three months
was only about $25 600 each. The cause Of the
large receipts in January this year. compared with
the same month last, can be found In the Interrupt
til TO travel in January, 1854, ON account Of the
troubles at Erie. During the waole of that month
there was no connection with Western roads, aud
both passengers and freight were compelled to seek
other channels Of transportation. This year there
has betn no dificulty hence the great difference in
earnings.
The Milwaukee and Mississippi Railroad Company
have declared stock dividend Of 10 per cent out Of
the profits Of tie last year.

snr ounces that 1t has disposed Of all its surplus
stock, with which it has paid off every debt, and
