BOSTON LECTURES ON SLAVERY.

A committee Of gentlemen in Boston, Anti.
Slavery in their sympathies, but not generally
classed as Abolitionists. got up course OF
Lectures last year on the subject of Slavery
and, desiring to have all sides presented, invi
ted several Southern men to deliver their views
The experiment having succeeded, it is to be
repeated this year. Able lecturers have already
been secured. Senator Butler holds out some
ground of hope that he may accept the invita-
ton rendered him. Mr.. Soule having been
written to, remarks, with characteristic courte-
sy "a Boston audience is, of all others, that
which 1 would be most proud to address on any
subject, and especially on that of Slavery -
but his business engagements compel him,
"with great reluctance" to decline the invita-
ton.
We observe that Lieutenant Governor Ray
mond, of New York, has promised to lecture.
How the Committee came to honor Mr..
Atchison with an invitation, we cannot under
stand. This is stretching liberality to ludi-

The Weston (Mo.) Reporter, an Anti-AdmlA.
istration paper, finds fault with the Pro-Slavesy
Convention that nominated General White ID
as delegate to Congress from Kansas, becapae
it did not pass any resolution about Slavery
a remarkable and suspicious omission in Pro.
Slavery Convention. The Reporter need not
trouble itself. The orthodoxy of the General
and his Convention of Missourians on the sub
ject of Slavery is beyond all doubt.
The Squatter Sovereign, the organ of Mr.
Atchison, and the recipient of Presidential pat

THE TRUE PRINCIPLE.

II will be observed that the Republican move
ment in Massachusetts and New York is placed
on a broad, constitutional Principle, not on the
ground of temporary narrow policy. When
the Shareholders broke Compromise which
had been in force for whole generation, the
proof was complete, that no compromise or
compact could be made strong enough to bind
them. They opened the question of Slavery In
all United States Territory, and manifested
their purpose to plant the system of Slavery
everywhere. The idea of restoring the bro
ken Compromise was of course out Of the cues
ton. They would have resisted it with just as
much stubbornness as any stronger policy,
while the opponents of Slavery could never
have been heartily rallied in favor of mere
expedient which had proved worthless. The
true policy was, to accept the broad issue, forced
upon the country by the Shareholders, and, as
they had determined to make Slavery the gen
eral Law of the Territories, to establish Free
dom as the general Law. We rejoice to see
this ground explicitly taken by the Conventions
of New York and Massachusetts.
peal of the Missouri Compromise makes every
inch of the National domain battle-ground be-
tween Freedom and Slavery. 1t makes the ad
dition of every new Slave State a conflict be-
tween Freedom and Slavery. The issue thus
forced upon us, we accept. We commit our
selves to God and our country, and may it be
by no fault of ours if another Slave State is
added to the Union or any of its Territories left
open to the possibility of Slavery"
The New York resolutions are equally ex'
plicit:
"Resolped, That, the Federal Government
being one of defined and limited powers, among
which the power to enslave human beings is
not found wo most earnestly deny its right to
establish, uphold, or tolerate Slavery, in any
portion of the public domain, or to connive al
its establishment in the Federal Territory, by
any means whatever.
"ResOlUed, That since there can be no lega
Slavery in the Territories of our Union, there
can be no slave States legally formed out o.
such Territories; and we declare ourselves un
alteraby opposed to the formation there Of any
more slave States, and in favor of al express
prohibition by Congress of Slavery in all terri
tory of the Union"
We must be permitted to rejoice, that the
Principle we commenced advocating in 1887
as the true basis of political action on the sub
ject of Slavery, and the policy of union of the
masses of the People on this Principle, as q
paramount issue, are now fully endorsed by g
Party which bids fair to array the free States
in 1856 as unit on the side of Liberty.

FUSION IN PENNSYLVANIA.

1t would seem that the opponents of Slavery
and the Administration in Pennsvlvan;a ara
after all, about to unite in the approaching cleo
ton. They sec that their divided efforts wonld
only inure to the benefit of the corrupt PARTY
in power, and give it vantage ground in the

THE PRINTING OF CONGRESS.

Something having been said in the Era,
during our absence, about the printing of the
next House of Representatives, the friend who
filed our place temporarily, stated that we
were not and would not be, "a candidate for
the public printing" The statement is true.
1t may have been needless, but it is perhaps
just as well that our position should be clearly
known.
Bya law the United States, it is obligatory on
the President and heads of Departments to have
executive notices and advertisements printed in
the two newspapers at the seat of the Federal
Government, "having the largest permanent
subscription" For the last six years, the Era
under this law has been entitled to such print
ing, and we have from time to time insisted
upon our claim, but in vain. Its recognition
would have been matter of legal right, not Of
faror; therefore we urged it. 1t is one thing
to demand justice; quite another, to ask fol
patronage.
In relation to the printing of Congress, there
is no such law. Each House elects its own
printer, and he becomes one of its officers AID
dependents. His election is matter of tar6s
not of ldU.
Now, entertaining certain opinions respect
ing personal and political independence, N's
could not, under any circumstances, for afj
consideration, accept such position. Nor, il
our judgment, ought either House of Congress
to elect, as Printer, the Editor or Publisher .
political newspaper. Such a relation is in
furious to both parties-to the purity of tn,
Legislative body, and to the independence of tn,
press. 1t is easy to see how, in such way
Congress may secure apolosists for its delin
quencies, the Press be divorced from the rea
interests of the People, and the worst partisan
services be rewarded.
There are honest, capable Printers in Wash
ington, with amply furnished offices. Let the
House look to them. A contract with any one
| of them would be fair business transaction.
