troit, on the Sd inst. 1t is most able
and complete review of the present con-
dition of the United States Govern
ment in all it's parts and relations
1t was his object to show, that the
slaveholding class of the American
people is Systematically and successful
ly perverting the administration Of the
Government, especially in regard to
the Territories, SO as to change the
constitution and endarger the stabili-
ty, welfare and liberty of the Union
From the Presidential chair, through
the Senate of the United States, in ev-
cry committee of Importance, through
the House Of Representatives, in each
Of the Departments, State, War, Ma
val, Interior, &C., through all the Off
ces of trust, emolument Or power, in
every State, the slavcholding class
have, and hold and WELD exclusive
and monstrous power.
John M. Bolts, at Petersburg, Va,
replied at length to recent speech of
Governor Wise, at Richmond. In a
letter to the National American he
says that Wise is either lunatic or
is engaged in conspiracy to levy
war" against the Government, and
calls the attention of the U. S. Author
tiles to the fact. ~
The speech which Mr.. Bolts deliver
ed, is the first great and effectual blow
hurled at those who have improperly
assumed the championship of the
South. Mr. Bolts is a perfect Cnur
de Lion in the lists. Nothing can with
stand the furious impetuosity of his
charge. Bolts assails Wise with his
own weapons, brands him with the ep-
ithets Of mailman and traitor, accuses
him with perverting the popular scnti-
ment, hurls scathing invective upon
him, and ends by calling him a miscr-
able cur. Poor Wise With all his
faults, we cannot but have sympathy
for him under the laceration inflicted
on him by that never-to-be-too-much-
despised Bolts. The onslaught was
altogether too terrible. Resistance
was out Of the question. Gov. Quat-
tlebum Wise has succumbed. He has
been snuffed out of existence by that
pittiless Bolts champion who
spareth neither enemy nor friend. He
tells the South that if they expect
either Buchanan or Fillmore are going
to favor the extension of slavery, they
are mistaken ana that they are also
mistaken if they think that Fremont
is going to disturb that institution
He predicts that there will be no cleo
ton by the people, and that in the
House Of Representatives the choice
will fall on John c. Fremont.
The Newburyport Herald has the
following in regard to Pennsylvania.
1t does not agee with other statements
from that quarter
'The Fillmore men of Pennsylvania have
recently proposed to coalesce with the Repub-
licans, if they could have five of the electors
1t is understood that the Republicans will de-
cline, feeling strong enough to carry state that
the Democrats claim by from ten to forty thou
sand majority, without any such extrancous

Ex-Governor Floyd, Of Va, made
speech at the Merchants Exchange,
New York, a few days since. Mr.
Floyd is large man, Of rather coarse
mould, but very effective speaker.
He throws immense energy into his de-
livery, and fairly lashes his audience
into excitement. His speech was in
to one previously delivered
at the same place by N. P. Banks.
