! Emierant. What expedients can wisdom
and sagacity dictate, to cause one-third to con-
troll the other two-thirds in q republican Gov
eminent!
American. They select such as they think
will work best. Sometimes they present plau-
sible object, and keep the real object too much
concealed to create any very great excitement.
But their most powerful expedient is, to threat
en- the dissolution of the Union, unless the freq
| m n of the free States will submit to their hay
ing what they claim to establish.
E,migrant. But, sir, if the Union were dis
solved would the fugitive slaves be liable to be
forced back into slavery, as you say they now
arel
Ame,icrn. Oh, no. The slaves would escape
from slave territory into freedom, as thick as
wild geese fly from cold northern winter. The
Shareholders understand this perfectly well !;
but they threaten for effect, meaning that those
thew would intmidate, will heed their threat
enings as a reality
Emgraat. But, sir, do the people appoint
the judges Of the Supreme Court
American. Not directly. The people choose
the President, and he designates and dominates
the men who are to be Judges. But they exer-
else their tact at the beginning. They dictate
the choice of the President in the way above
mentioned, and that almost secures to them
every other object.
Emgrdnt. Where do the emigrants from
Europe generally locate themselves!
American Not in the slave, but in the free
States.
Enugrant When they locate themselves In
the free States, are they then free from the az
gressons Of slavery, are they free from liability
| to hn taxed for the supnort of slavery
American. In such cases, they, like our ma
tive citizens, share the protection Of Govern
ment, sach us it is and alike must bear Their
portions OF tho burden Our revenues chiefly
arise irQ,p duties on imported merchandise, but
Cong may lay direct tax, in which case
they hS0sfld have to pay their portion, like ma
tive citizens.
Emigrant. Are such emigrants liable in any
way to be forced into the cruel business of car
rying back these fugitves into bondage!
American. Yes; the same Fugitive Slave AcI
that makes provision for forcing such fugitives
back into slavery, also provides that the mar,
shall may call to his aid any of the citizens, ant
they must obey him under heavy penalty.
Emgrant And may understand you tt
say that the expenses Of these proceedings are
to be paid out Of the United Ssltos Treasury
American. Not of course but on affidavit
showing danger of Il rescue, the cost OF th'
marshal and the people he employs to assls
him are paid from the United States Treasury
Emigrdnt did not expect to learn JUS
such a state of things but your candor, will
your knowledge Of facts forbids my discrcdit

mcnt should not be called Republican
merely. Would not u more suitable it'll

RErRosPECT OF THE PAST YEAR.

In taking political retrospect of the past
year, we see more to sicken and alarm land more,
perhaps which should gladden. and encourage
the friends of Freedom, than has ever before
TRANSFERRED in our warfare against that prince of
moral and political darkness, the Slave Power
of tho South The Nebraska bill that virtual
license for the extension of Slavery all over our
vast territorial domains of the West-has been
passed, and, that too, by means more fagrantly
corrupt than any that were ever made to dis
grace our National Legislature. Plans for the
annexation of Cuba, with her half million OF
black slaves, and her half million of bigotted,
ignorant, and religiously enslaved whites,-ior
the control of Hayti, Central America, and the
vast regions of the Amazon, all for the purposes
of extending and perpetuating slavery, and
making it the great and prcdominatlng interest
and power over the American continent, have
been more boldly concocted, and more recklessy
pursued than the greatest alarmists have ever be-
fore preached or conceived. But in all these,
with; the exception of the passage Of the Nebras-
ka bill, the foul schemes of the slavery propa-
gandists have been thus far proyidentially de-
feated while the elections Of the past year
have given the vile schemers blow, from which,
we trust, they can never recover, till the now
thoroughly aroused, and fast increasing forces
of Freedom, shall have the power and the will
to put the neck of this great whore of the Amer
lean Babylon under the feet of the proud and
indignant freemon of the North, completely and
forever.
But to ensure this, or even to keep the schemes
Of the reckless and untiring Slave Power il
allegiance, all the friends of Freedom must stanc
firmly and .unitedly at their posts, and, unlike
the allies after the victory of Alma, press home
the advantage, and charge hotly the foe, before
recovering from their disaster, Or like the allies
we shall be found, the next New Years Day
weakened, worsted and our Sebastopol no
taken
The Slave Power now lies paralyzed by TIN
blows received in the successive elections of tn
North Shall we now cease our action, and lie
the monster recover? Friends of Freedom! OF
your lives we charge you kill the beast Will
you can, or your cause, probably,is lost forever

we are opposed to Slavery We hold that it
great wrong, and should rejoice over its ex
tinCtiOn. Then we reply: Show your faith b,
your works The best belief in the world IL
good for nothing without it produces some
fruit. We believe in the power Of the gospel
and the Bble,and the Church organizing Mis-
sionary and Bible Societies. with funds and
agents to give life and energy to its opinions.
We believe ia the efficacy of religious training
and the Church giving its hand to Sunday
Schools, Bible Glasses, and the support of the
Ministry. But how has this same Church
acted in relation to the sin of Slavery? 1t
has brought its ministers to trial for preaching
against it it has declared that it was opposed
to agitation has said that it had nothing to
do with it /; and, in short, has insisted on letting
1t alone; as if the Church could let alone any
great wrong without damage to itself! What
Is 1T tor, but to overcome wrong? What is
its mission, if it is not to be always in armor
against wickedness Let it arouse and shake
itself, and put away the evil! Let it stand
fourth bristIing in armour against this sin
Let it remember that it is to obey God rather
than man !-Syracuse Chronicle.

SENATOR BRAINERD.-We are gratifed to see
that our new FreeSoil United States Senator.
Lawrence Brainerd, has been placed on the i'm
portant committee Of Claims. a post for which
he is eminently fitted. 1t is such men as Sena-
tor Brainerd, who do all the actual business in
Congress, for the Spouters to brag about. We
are quite too prone to measure mans useful
ness, and even influence in Congress, by the
amount of his talking.

The RE-opENING OF THE SLAVE TRADE.-The
following is an extract from the presentment of
the Grand Jury Of the Williamsburgh Is. c.
District, at the last session -
"We, the Grand Jury of Wiliamsburgh
District, at Fall Term, 1854, do make the fol-
lowing presentments, viz We present as our
unanimous opinion that the Federal Law abol-
ishing the African slave trade, is public
grievance. We hold that this trade has been
and would be, if re-estabshed, u blessing to
the African himself. We hold further that this
trade is consistent with the true policy of the
South-t that slavery itself is authorized and
sanctioned by holy writ, and experience has
taught US that by introducing African slavery
into these United States. the African has been
elevated from the condition of absolute barba-
rlsn into one of comparative civiizatiou-trom
a condition of heather darkness into one OF
Christian light, from a condition of despotic
and chaotic misrule into one of benign and
regulated law. We hold that slavery is for.
hidden by no principle Of policy or religion ex.
cept that which springs from the frenzed lin
agination of frantic philanthropy which ar.
rogantly assumes to be purer and holier than
what is written. We therefore recommend
this subject to the consideration and action OF
the Legislature Of this State, trusting thai
through its influence the evil complained o.
may be removed.
sd. M. Mason, foreman
This is getting TO be u very fashionable way
of carrying political point at the South, and
such an indication, together with the open ad.
vocacy of the measure in question by several
oil their leading papers, most clearly shows that
the Slave Power is every where moving to &C.
compllsh that appalling stride in her appalling
aggrcssions-the opening of the !Slavs Power.

Rupturcs May Cause Death.


and Rupture Wash are a certain means Of security
and relief in the worst stages of the affection.
The Truss has gained popularity nnequalled
by any other for the following Advantages First,
its facility of adaptation and applcation second,
its anatomical arrangement preventing 1t from
chatting and exco!iating the body; third, its com
fort and security irr any position of the body; T;
fourth, its Slight Inconvenience to the wearcr un-
der every kind of exercise fifth, its certainty to
remain upon and close the hernia ring; sixth, its
aptness to contract and finally to remove the tumor
when used in conjunction with the hernia wash.
The proprietor would simply remark to those
afflicted with Rupture that he has devoted many
years to the study and treatment of the complaint
in its various stages, and feels himself fully quail
fed to select spring and compress of the right
shape and bearing to suit any case that may be
trusted to his care. The poor will be dealt with to
suit their means. The prices of these useful in
struments are now reduced to S5 and SO, making
them, considering their superior manufacture, the
cheapest and for economy's sake, most durable OF
any in the market, thus securing the unfortunate
