IMPORTANT CoEREsPOSDEyCF-s
TO.t WILSON, OF MASS.

The following correspondence between
Judge Ellis of the American Organ, and
Hon. Henry Wilson, L. S. Senator from
Massachusetts,, will DO read with interest by
every one South Of Mason & Dixon's line:
Mr.. Ellis says, if Senator Wilson'S empha
tic response to our enquiries does not check
the progress of the enemies of the ..Amerl-
can party" in their mischievous attempts to
identity our party with abolitionism, we un-
derrate the intelligence of the people of the
South.
Opposed as Senator Wilson and all the
North have been and noo are to slavery, we
may at least reiterat, our fomer opinions on
the subject, that the Southern States have
less to fear from him than from these Forney
and Pierce Democrats who resolved, at Col
umbus, Ohio, finally to eradicate slavery. -
We shall comment fully on this subject here

WASHINGTON, Feb. II, 1855.

Dear Sir Referring you to .ssiy edito-
rails for the last two weeks, | have To ask
you how far have correctly represented
Your views in my comments upon your letter
of the 20ih of January, and the articles in
the Boston Bee, which have copied In
other words 60 you or not recognize the doe
trine of State rights, so far as to permit the
several states to regulate the question of
slavery in their own mode within their State
limits DO you or not entertain the opin-
ION that Congress has power to interfere with
slavery in the Statesl Do you or not rec
cgnize that ''hgher law" doctrine, which
permits you as q Senator to disregard the
binding obligations OF The Constitution -
Does the "American organization" in Mas
fachusetts embrace the question CT slavery
amongst Those for the regulation of which
that organization was formed
Your answer at your earliest convenience
will oblige your obedieut servant,
NESPASSIAN ELLIS,
Editor American Organ.
Hon. HESRY WILSON, U. S. Senate.
SENATE CHAMBER, Feb. 10, 1855.
Dear Sir - My answers to your enqui-
ries will be bret and explicit.
lst. fully recognize the doctrine of State
righis in its application to slavery, as veil
as TO any other matter of public concern
The Virginia aud kentucky resolutions of
1898. in the main, as | think, correctly set
forth that doctrine.
Tie whole subject of slavery within State
limits should be left absolutely to State leg
isla,ioB.
=. My response 10 yoer second question
is included in my answes % your first. | do
not entertain the opinion, tt.at Congress ha,
any power to interfere with slavery as it ex-
isis under State laws,
Sd. Every man who believes in n God
must necessarily believe that there is i2w
paramount to all human law, and that this
law is to be obeyed by men in public aud
private life, rather than any human law in
conflict with it. But see nothing in the
Constitution Of the United States, as | uu-
derstand the Constitution Of the United
States, which requires me, as Senator from
Massachusetts,, to do anything in conflict
with the law of God. If | thought other.
wise, | would not take an oath 10 support the
Constitution OF the United Stat1s.
4th. Inc American organization IN Mas
sachusctts does not embrace the question Of
slavery among those for the regulation Of
which it was formed
The people Of Massachusetts, have fixed
opinions, in which most Of tho members Of
that organization fully concur, against the
support or allowance of slavesy by national
legislation.
They entertain the most profound convic-
zion that the harmony and ropose ofthc coun-
try, and the highest interests Of the master
aud Slave demand that the national govern
rent should be relieved from all connection
with RESI- onsibilitr Tor slavery, and tha, this
