The Legislatures of several Northern
Massachusetts, New York, Connec-
ticut and others-have passed resolutions
declaring, among other things, that there
shall be mo more slave States" If
this doctrine prevails in the North, they
will have the power to enforce it in Con-
gress. But it is easy to see that the attempt to
enforce it will put US upon the high road to dis
union. The only guarantee which can now in.
sure the perpetuity Of the Union, is something
like balance of power to the South, as a
breakwater in the general government against
the aggressions Of the North. This bala ice,
before the admission of California, the South
possessed in the Senate of the United States;
but the addition OF California to the free States
has destroyed this equilibrium. The South
desire, therefore-and they have the right to
State, to restore this lost equilibrium Of forces
in the Senate.
To this end we may expect to see Kansas,
within year or two, knocking for admission
into the Union. Should the North refuse to
admit her, in the event Of a constitution recog-
njzing the existence of slavery, we are hurried
TO the ultimate question of union or disunion.
The moment the South discover that the power
of the North in Congress is to be devoted to the
"crushing out !" the institution of slavery, the
alternative Of secession comes up in paIpable
shape Ard this is the drift of this Kan:as
imbroglio.
All this mock philanthropy about human
freedom, liberty, and the horrors of Southern
slavery, is mere stuff and nonsense. The real
question is union or disunion. The African
race, whether as slaves in the South or "free
colored Americans" in the Norlh, oc.
cupy the position, socially and politically,
of an inferior race, and properly so, and simply
because the great Creator has made them an
inferior race. In the same community With the
white man, the black, enslaved or emancip ated,
must forever occupy degraded position la
a community purely African, even the civilized
black relapses again to African Incidence and
barbarism. See Hayti see Jamaica. Stop the
supplies Of christiauized recruits from our
Southern States to Liberia aud that republic
in the space of two or three generations, would
probably degenerate into petty kingdom of
cannibals, with savage beast as their ruler,
horrible and bloody IS the King of Dahomsy
The three millions Of the African race, the
most enlightened and the happiest in the world
are the three million tlaves of our Southern
States.
This cry of slavery, the horrors of slavery,
stop the extension of slavery, is therefore a
mockeiy and snare. Reduced TO its final
consequences, it means disruption, disunion,
war Of sections, war of races, fire add sword,
anarchy and indiscriminate slaughter. Aud
these ultimate consequences are interviewer
into the treacherous web Of this Ksnsss coutfo
very. The sectional agi;aions, jealoasies
and reveDges Of half o century, are conseu.
tIa;td ia this Kansas ,estioa. The beginning
is ominous-the END will be disastrous i, right
or wrong. jutt or uojast, ttege are ID be ~

TEMPERANCE MOvEMENTs.-We see that the
temperance people are bringing out the legal
opinions of eminent lawyers on the new liquor
law as fast as the liquor dealers. Where now
ore the great guns of the latter party, Bronson,
O'Conor, Gerard and others? Let them come
out with their written opinions. But above all
others, we call upon Judge Edmonds to come
out. Let him forthwith summon meeting of
the spirits of the leading lawyers of all ages,
from Moses down to Sir William Blackstone, and
from his spirit down to that of Gen. Jackson, and
have discussion and decision upon the consti-
tutionality. the meaning, the intent, and the
expediency of our new liquor law, from begin
ming to end. Without some such Interpretation,
we fear the law will neither be respected nor
understood. Let Judge Edmonds, therefore,
call up the great legal spirits Of past ages for
thorough dissection of this puzzling, this mex
plicable liquor law. Rap rap! rap! What's
that? Call in the Judge Instantly?

save time, labor and money. Mary Of our

of the city see TIC it that their friends fro the
country fall not into the clutches of Peter
Funks and such like hard customers Above
all things, let our anniversary people of the
various religious societies avoid the theatres,
the negro minstrels, the grogshops, the mock
auctions, and all Other bad places. The devil
exercises large jurisdiction among our IN
cody population but let the brethren con-
suit Mayor Wood for further advice. He kaows
all about it. We hope and pray, in any event,
that the late example of our lawmakers in
their visit to this great metropolis will be repu-
dated by our anniversary societies. The Legs-
lature, under the lead of the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, got booty on bad brandy at Blackweil's
Island, and then went back to Albany and
passed the Maine Liquor law. Let our reli-
gious friends now in town eschew bad brandy,
avoid Blackwell's Island, stick to cold water,
and get all the money they can for the CONVEX
sion of the heather. Upon this platform we
may say, rejoice, brethren, for the victory is
Ours.
