The True Question.

The political creed of the Republican
party need be but short one. In politics,
as in every thing else, the shorter the cate
chism the easier learned and the easier
lived up to. Until the great battle for free
dom is over, we wish one motto might be
the watchword, one plank the PLATFORM
This motto this plank, is well defined in
Mr.. Stewards late speech at Albany, as
follows:
Do you say you cannot abolish slavery in
the privileged States? We have no need,
no purpose, no constitutional poOer, no
duty to do so. Providence has devoived
that duty upon others, and the organic law
leaves it wisely to them We have power
to avert the extension of slavery in Terrific
ries of the Union, and that is enough. Do
you doubt that power? Did not the states
man of 1887 know the bounds of constitu-
tional power?
In commenting upon this sentence, the
New York Courier d Enquirer says.
This extract from Gov. Stewards speech
at Albany last week, speaks the sentiments
of ninety-nine out of every hundred men a
the North. 1t is the South which has evel
been sectional party, insisting that Sla
very shall be extended into free Territory
The whole South and all parties at thu
South, have ever made Slavery ties
question; and therein il is, and always ha
been, sectional. The North, on the contra
| ry, have always been ready to perform
their constitutional duties, and so they ar
at this day, with some few miserable excep
lions, whom nobody regards. And yel
when we unite to resist wrong--a pal
pable and admitted wrong-behold tn
cry of sectionalism is heard!
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1855-11-02
Let,er Rim; She's all Oak.

The Richmond (Va,) Examiner says
that the South is now determined to retail
ate. The following is its language:
From every portion of Virginia, we hear
of the repning disposition of the people TO
temporize no longer with Northern aggres-
sion; but to abandon the policy of concilia-
ton which has so long proved unavaiiing,
and resort to decisive measures. They be-
lieve it folly to cry peace, peace, when there
is no peace, and they are resolved TO meet
assault with assault, and war with war;
Aggression must be resisted. Insult must
be resented. 1t is the only way to save
the Union; and, what is infinitely more i'm
portant than that, it is the only way to save
our own institutions, threatened at home
and from abroad.
An old tar stood on deck one dark night
when it blew "great guns" As "Ollapod"
said of the storm in Lake Michigan, the
lightnings were kissing above. and the thun-
der was rumbl;ng below, but the old salt
paced the deck, and as sea after sea in vain
struck his good ship he rolled over bis quid,
and defed the storm: Letter rip: she's all
oak"

SenatOr Wade.

The Statesman objects to our preference
for this gentleman, and protests against his
reelection. 1t claims that the voice of
Ohio is condemnatory Of the course of Mr..
Chase and Mr.. Wade in the Senate. 1t
says: .et.-,rr--...Trss
"But according to the issue laid down
by the Journal itself, in regard to the votes
for Trimble, the people have ratified the
election of Pugh, and declared against
Wade. But whether the Legislature will
respect the voice of the people is another
question"
We pass by the plain fact that the gen
eral vote cast for the State ticket was the
true expression of the Anti Nebraska SEN
timent of the people. We pass by that
other miserable fact that Medill lin the ru-
raj districtsD claimed to be opposed to
Slavery extension; and come to the test
applied by the Statesman itself in regard
to the Trimble vote. We meet this with
the following resolution adopted BY the con-
vention that nominated Mr.. Trimble for
Governor:
"Resolped, That in common with the
vast majority OF the people of Ohio, we con-
slider the repeal of the Missouri ComPro-
mise fragrant violation of a compact be,
tween the North and the South, established
by statesmen and patriots, and its restora,
ton is demanded by the plainest dictates oi
honor and policy"
Has the Statesman any further advice tc
give the Republicans of Ohio q. 5

The Lost ErOnnut.


EDITOR N. Y. RIBUxE:-Sir-As much
anxiety exists with the friends and family
of Mr. Winchester, who went up with bal
loon from Norwalk, Ohio, on the I'd Of Oct.
inst, on account of his not being heard
from up TO the l7th inst, l would premise
the following opinion:
1t is said he ascended with but twenty
five pounds of ballast This with an ordi-
nary balloon would not last him many hours.
If he assembled very high, that quantity Of
ballast would be neutralized by the expan-
sion Of gas and the consequent discharge
at the neck valve by the pressure of ex-
pansion. If bis balloon was but half full
when he started that would occur at an
elevation Of two and half miles, and at ev-
en- half that height when sailing immediate
ly over layer Of clouds for the space Of
twenty-five or thirty minutes Now, as
there are always two rapid currents Of air
at an elevation of from two TO three miles
one from the south west, the other from
the north-west-it is probable that he may
bave been carried along with the south
west current. This would have kept him
over the surface of Lake Erie the whole of
its length. about two hundred miles from
Norwak Under ordinary velocties of the
current he could not have escaped the sur
face Of the Lake short of three and half
hours. If he got into this current the prob
ability is that he foundered in the Lake
If his balloon was large enough to rentan
the gas under expansion, and with all very
impermeable TO the hydrogen, tbs current
might have waited him on to Lake Ontario
in the rpace of four hours. All these sup
positionary causahties might have been
avoided by an experienced oeronaut with a
good balloon and every thing connected
with it in good order
As Mr.. Winchester was a novice in the
art, my fears and sympathies are like those
Of his friends and relatives, and are en-
HANGED from the fact that new beginners
are very liable to disarrangements in the
1 harness and fixtures of air ships.
II during bis voyage he got over ex.ens-
i've fields Of clouds, the Lake would have
been obscured from his sight, and the very
Grst attempt at descent, unless very judi.
ciously and economically managed, would
have made him liable to dependence up.
