Hon. Theodore FrelingIluyseu On
tlae Compact.

Hon. THEODORE FRELINGHUYSEN recentlv
delivered an address to the students cf
Rutgers College, Pa, and took occasion ,o
state very clearly the origin of the compact
for the delivery of fugitive slaves. He
said:
''When the Constitution of the United
States was under advisement, by the law Of
nations, slave escaping to free country
became free. The slaveholdiDg States were
unwilling to form union upon the basis Of
that international law between independent
States. They proposed to the free States,
if you wish to unite with US, and thus form
one people in closer bonds than by the gene,
raj law of nations, then this law of the fu.
gitive slave must be so modified that We
shall have the same right to reclaim in your
State that we now have in our own State.
Our forefathers agreed to this modification.
and the thirteen colonies unanimously adopt.
ed it, and thus left slavery a domestic in,
stitution in ali the, States where it existed
This is the true political state of the ques.
ton, and therefore we cannot disturb it
As great moral and social evil, it is open
to free consideration and debate, as are all
other matters pertaining to moral duty
But politically we agreed to leave it where
we found it, and that was with the slave,
holding States with all its responsibilities.
The whole case is with them
1t is a gravely momentous subject, encow,
passed by perplexing difficulties that call
for deliberation, and candor, and good TEN
per. And more than this, it invokes afesh
the cherished and fraternal feelings that
formed the American constitution which
has SO long and so illustriously shown how
much of human wisdom and forecast, and
how much more of divine benignity, crown
ed this first great experiment Of free and
self-governed people. May it be perPctu-
al, May no rash hand mar its glory, or
disturb its foundations, Should not almost
eighty years of prosperous freedom plead
for our Union ! Should not the smiles Of
Gods favor toward US for all that time hush
the murmurs of discomfort. and persuade US
rather to patience and hope? Let US wait
for the healings of time, and kindness, and the
sure growth of better feelings, that will fol-
low the spread and power of the Gospel Of
peace. Let US for the sake of human liber-
ty, and mans last hope, wait, and bear, and
for5ear, in the fear of God and with living
prayer for his guidance

Instruction at Fort Riley.
FOUR MEN KILLED.

In the late reports from Fort Riley. Civ
ing accounts of the ravages of cholera there,
we have observed hints that an outbreak
had taken place among the laborers, and
that they had attacked the buildings to sup
ply themselves with arms. The affair is
made clear now. A Letter from Kansas
dated the 18th ult, to the st. Louis Repub.
lican, says:
An express has Just come il from Fort
Riley. bringing the startling Intelligence
that the hands who wene at work here had
rebelled against the command, and broken
into the arsenal and storehouses aid sun.
piled themselves with arms, ammunition
provisions, and money, and had stated
off for the States, in force of three or for
hundred men, The officers of the Fort dis
patched the few soldiers, who were spared
from the ravages of the cholera, in pursuit
of them but they, poor fellows. soon re.
turned with three of their comrades dead
and a fourth mortally wounded. and stated
that when they came upon the insurgents
they were fred on, pursued, and threatened
providential that any of them escaped that
the insurgents were thoroughly armed with
muskets, and pistols, and declared it to h.
their intention to die rather than be takcn.
and that they were coming toward tI;,,
point probably to embark on STEAMBOATS, o'
