We see il stated in our exchanges, that new
Anii-Slavery paper Is 10 be started IN Portage.
One ANU Slavery paper has been supposed to
be enough for that county to support, and the
idea of establishing another would not have
been entertained, but for the daliance OF the
Democrats with the Know Nothings. Anti
Slavery men are beginning to see that they
must adhere TO the one great question, and cut
loose all connection with even the shadow OF
this secret Order. The fact is now well devel-
oped, that the spirit of Know Nothingism is
nothing bet the ghost of Old bunker Whiggery,
irving to sseak back into existence.

sors Of religion, and especially those ministers
who have fostered and encouraged a spirit of
prescription and hatred against those of anothi
err faith, will see in the legitimate result whicE
has followed from such course, being no less
than the destruction of the ballotbox and the
loss of several lives, win pause and carefully
review their position. Should the line be drawn
distinctly in Presidential contest between
those who favor and those who oppose proscrip-,
ton, we should tremble for the consequences.
We fear that the mobocratic and bloody scenes
enacted in Cincinnati are but the beginning of
the terrible end We hope that the good men
of all parties will set their faces against these
proceedings and the spirit which produced
them, and that an era of good and humane feel
ing viii soon dawn upon the country.

paper
SENSIBLE.
Nevertheless, we will crave the
liberty to say, that, in our judgment, the Anti
Nebraska issue cannot be more clearly defined,
nor the great rights of man better championed,
IN the present conjuncture, than with the fear
less, incorruptible, and able ex-senator Chase
as our Gubernatorial nominee and standard
bearer. And this idea, we notice, is very prey
alent with men of all the former political par
ties, who now purpose to act together in the
great Democratic Republican Peoples move
ment. His Congressional actions are known.
Prompt, active, interchangeable, able, on occa-
sions powerful, true to every interest. consecra-
ted TO the rights of humanity, opposed to all
oppression, and to the corruption and assump-
tons of doughfaces and shareholders, no mans
Senatorial career can present brighter record.
His election to the Chief MagisIracy of the
State would place Ohio in the proudest possible
Anti-Slavery position before the world. Shall
we not have the moral influence of such po
sition?
Again, who more worthy to bear the honors
and represent the interests of free people, than
the brave, chivalric, and talented Benjamin F.
Wade? lie has the ring of the true metal, and
more powerful, effective, and fearless cham
pion of Freedom the Senate cannot boast.
Upon our next Legislature viii devolve the
duty of electing his successor. Here, then, is
an important element, the Senatorial question,
to mingle In our next political campaign
Who so worthy, in the present attitude of things
to succeed B. F. Wade, as B. F. Wade himself?
He should be reelected. Let the people, then,
secure a Legislature which will re-elect this
eloquent and faithful Senator to the post in the
United States Senate which he adorns.
The Slave-Democracy prescribed Senator
Chase, and disgraced the State by placing in
his stead the miserable bar-room politician,
Pugh! Let the people now put it beyond their
power thus to prescribe Senator Wade, by the
election of any such doughface and servile.
What then, shall we do? We should re-
member:
/. The Infamous Nebraska swindle.
z That the great issue is, Freedom or Sla-
very for this Government-one or the other.
8. That the Democratic Republican Party OF
the People is the instrumentality by means OF
which to vanquish the despoilers of men, and
to secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves
and our children.
Let the people of Portage, as component
part of the great army of Freedom in Ohio,
cultivate, politically, the spirit of union, har-
mony, Cancellation, and cordial endeavor, that
they may efectually bear hand in accom-
plishing the great results due to the genius of
free institutions, to the ights of our race,
and our own individual and collective welfare.
We take it for granted, then, that the Demo.
crat will be no party to the plot for packing the
Republican Convention, and forcing on it the
nominations of secret conclave.

UNITED STATES REVIEW & STATE
RIGHTS REGISTER.

TN CONNECTION with the usual matter,
/ political and literary contained in the UNI
TED STATES REVIEW, we intend to republish all
the state papers extant on the question of state
rights as announced in the Virginia Resolutions
Of '98 and 80. The publication will embrace
also the works of standard writer's, such as
John Taylor of Caroline, whose works are now
nearly out Of print. These valuable political
pleted, will furnish complete constitutional
history of our Federal Union. The subscrip-
ton list Of the State-Rights Register" (the
prospectus Of which was issued under the ap:.
probation of the Democratic members and
senators in congress) will be furnished regular
ly with the Rerie,o from this date, and we hope
each subscriber will feel that he is performing
duty to great and sacred political principle
by extending the list OF names already on our
books.
1t is time for us to go 60 back to those pure
principles upon which the great fabric of de-
mocracy rests; principles originated and defined
by those who created, and best understood the
true meaning of the constitution. 1t is time
that the friends of state sovereignty should raj
ly around some common nucleus, to resist the
wild latitudinarianism of the age and evident
tendency of the republic towards concentration
Ito end at best in a mixed monarchy 1t is
time for each states-rights man to feel that he
must give his own personal individual influence
to the defense Of the very cornerstone of our
constitutional government
We send the Review to the subscribers of
the State-Rights Register, and feel confident
that they will respond heartily to the call.
The true Democracy have a great battle to
fight, great principle of selfgoycrnment to
uphold, an inspired Constitution to defend.
May each one Of us feel that it is an individual
duty.

QUARTERLY REVIEW.
THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION was

THE FOLLOWING RESOLUTION was
i adopted by the Southern Commercial Con-
vention, held in Charleston, in April, 1854.
RESOLVED, That the Southern Quarterly Re
view, published in the City of Charleston, by
a native Of Virginia, and edited by one of
the most distinguished literary gentleman of
the South, being the only Periodical of that
character, printed and published in the Sou
thcrn States, and having always defended the
institutions and interests of the South is en-
titled to the patronage Of the Southern peo-
pie, and this Convention earnestly recon-
mend it to their favorable consideration.
This Periodical is the only one Of its class in
the entire region of the South; and its pages
are referred to as the best evidence of the abil-
ity of the South, and its capacity to give ex-
preston to the feelings, the interests and intel
ligence OF this section of our country. Its
purpose is to fairly represent ourselves, and not
to misrepresent others. 1t aims to maintain
the truth as we understand it, and to assert
the intellectual equality of our section, while
at the same time it will free the mind of our
people from that literary thradrom and de.
pendence under which they have too long la-
bored. We claim then, from all lovers of the
South, and friends of truly home literature,
that support of our work which will enable us
to give it a free course, and thus make it emf
nently worthy Of the worlds admiration and
our own pride. MORTIMER, Publisher.

miles above Alexandria, on Red River, thir-
