FREEDOM OR SLAVERY.

The momcntous question, which has so long ag
itated public feeling and which, from the impulse
given by proceedings of the last Congress- appears
to be approaching its ordeal has rghtlully become
the subject of public meetings and memorials III
every part of the country. Ii has reused the spirit
Of the people; and in no attitude 10 they appear
so great and powerful, as when in body they take
cOgnizance of an evil and suggest the proper rem
edy. The step which shall be taken by the pres
ent Congress will mark an era in the history Of
slavery in the United States--it will determine
whether as nation we will tolerate evil which
can be remedied, or whether we will wine away
the foulest stain on national character-it will
determine whether the first principle of our char
ter of liberty is be held sacred, whether it is
to yield to ayarce and be made the sport Of q bru-
tai humanity.
A respected correspondent expresses his anX-
ious fears for the consequences which may result
from the interposition of Congress. lie is "as
fond of relieving the distressed as any living,
and of ameliorating the suiferings Of the slaves;"
but he deprecates that course which shall ALLEVIATE
the friendship of our southern brethren, and per-
haps create n sectional distinction which shall ir
the instability OF future Years, produce dreadful.
results. We are far from believing thar these
events will ever take place. Although the storm
of passion, which OyeIrules the judgment of some
southern orators, burst forth in threatenings on
the floor of the last Congress, when the subject
was in debate-we should be the last to apprehend

of slavery within their present limits, i'll By

ments. 1t has become the theme of common re-
proach, and throughout the borders Of our coun-
try the abhorrence of slavery is universal. The
means for its prohibition and gradual extinction
are now brought before the nation. Proceeding
with all due reference to existing harmony, we sin
cerely hope that Congress will exert power given
them by the Constitution, aud efiectually prohibit
slavery in the new States"

REV WILLIAM S. PLUMMER, D. D., AND
THE YOUNG MEMS CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.

In our capacity rs public journalists, we claim
no censorship over affairs which do not legitmately
come within our province but it may sometimes
happen that Il subject which seems beyond our
range, is so intimately associated with another
that as within our range that we are compelled to
treat both in the same connection. Such Il case
we have before us. The Rev. William 5.
Plummer, ID. D., has been invited by the officers of
the Cleveland Young Mems \ ssociatiOn to deliver
one lecture in the course before them tonight.
With the subject Of the lecture we have nothing
to do bat the lecturer himself we cannot pass
over in silence That he has II right to hold opin-
ons differing with ours, we very freely admit !;
but shall not permit him to construe silence
into careless indifference in regard to opinions
which he has openly ayowed, and never, either
publicly or privately, recanted.
DIR. Pummer was absent from Richmond, Va,
when the clergy Of that city purged themselves in
a body, from the charge of being favorable to
AGotHioRism. On his return he lost no time in
communicating to the chairman of correspondence
his acquiesence in their conduct. We give his
own words 81 have carefully watched this matter
from its earliest existence, and every thing have
seen or heard of its character, both from its pat
rOns and its enemies, has confirmed me, beyond
repentance, in the belief that, let the character of
AbolitionistS be what it may, in the sight of the
Judge Of all the earth this is the most meddlesome
impudeht reckless, fierce ard wicked excitement
ever saw. If Abolitionsts will set the country in
blaze, it is but fair that they should receive the
first warming at the fire.
Let be proclaimed throughout the nation that
every movement made by the fanatics $50 far as it
has any effect on the South does but riyet the
chains of the bondman, dmnish the probability of
anything being successfully undertaken, for either
making him fit for freedom or likely to obtain it.
We have the authority of Montesqueu, Burke and
Coleridge three eminent masters of the science OF
human nature, that of all men Shareholders are the
most Jealous of their liberties. One of Pennsyl
yanas most gifted sons supposed to be Judge

Of liberty.

Legislature.
PORTLAND, Jan. 2l.-In Supreme Court
this morning, Judge Davis decided that the
recent appointment of a new Sheriff for this
county, by Gov. Wells, who had removed the
old one, as illegal. Under the resolve amend
ing the Constitution of the State, giving the
people power to choose Sheriff, Judges and
Registers OF the Probate, the question came
before the court on attempt Of the newly APP
pointed sheriff to take charge Of the court,
and the Judge decided that the old one was
legally entitled.
similar decision has been given by Chief
Justice Taney, in Somerset County, as it re-
lates to Register of Probate.
These decisions if sustained bv the full
bench, render nugatory all the recent ap-
pontments of Sherihs and Registers Of the
Probate by GOV. Wells, in the places Of per-
sons removed by him.

The following extract from letter Of one
of our lady citizens, now spending the winter
in the South, to her friends here, can be ap-
preciated by our readers. The letter is dat
ed December oath, a day when, with us, eve
ry thing was locked in the embrace Of winter,
and the icy face of nature presented u strik-
ing contrast TO the scenes which she describes:
''We have had q little cool weather here
during the past week, but nothing uncomfor-
table. 1t has not been ut any time unpleas-
ant to walk out without cloak or shawl
The atmosphere has been bland. the skv gen
orally clear, and nature still smiling in her
mantle of green. There are hundreds Of ro-
ses and other flowers in the garden in full
bloom. | never saw such flowers more bright
or fragrant ut any time Of the year. While
walking through the garden to-day, and re-
hectinc that it was the day before Christmas,
when in our northern climate every thing
wears the drcary aspect of winter, how |
wished could send some of YOU bouquet for
the Christmas table. How ii would add to
the social, generous feelings of that happy
occasion We cannot realize the near ap-
proach or presence Of Christmas hcre.-that
day whose annual return brings with it 50
many joys for the little hearts, and revives
IN the mind of every one SO many blessed
memories. There are few of the social re-
unions here which come with that day in the
North; none of the hosptable entertain
ments or festivities, and in fact nothing
which would distinguish Christmas from any
other day, except a general preparation on
the part of the white people to give the dar-
kies a good time, who receive presents and
liberty on that day, and to whom, indeed, It's
entirely consecrated.'
