tario Connecticut followed on October III OF the
same wear with an offer TO cede all the territory
claimed BY her except the tract afterwsrd and still
known as the Connecticut Reserve. The terror
ofinvasion and the hope of thereby inspiring some
energy into the tagging Union whereby the de-
Tense of Virginia might be aided, induced the AS
sembIy of that State on the very last day OF the
year. and lust before they fled from Richmond on
the approach of Arnold, to offer cesson Of their
claims to the territory north OF the ONO but
this Offer was so clogged with guarantees respect
ing the territory north of the Ohio that Congress
did not choose TO accept it. Nor was virginia
finally forced into "the more than generous
Devotion Of making satisfactory ces-
sion. which she did not do TIL more
than three years afterward-ekcept by the action
of the delegates of New-York in formally executing
the cession which they had been authorized TO
make, and by evident indications thrown out by
Congress of an intention TO accept this as satls-
factory title without any regard to the pretended
claims of Virginia Then it was, at last, that Viz
gnia found it necessary to accept the confirmation
TO her of the reserved military district between the
Miami and Scioto, in exchange for her shadow
of title to the entire territory and this was eer-
tainly making a sharp and very good bargain.
Massachusetts, shortly after coded her claim with
out making any reservation of any kind and she
would have done this long before, except that she
held her claim as a means of coercing Virginia.
Such are the facts for which, with the ignorance
and peryersion of history habtual at the South,
this legend of "the more than generous devotion
of Virginia" has been substituted-a legend in
which the virginians believe with as much enthu-
sastic faith as the Irish do the story of their Mile
sian origin, and with just about as much reason.

1t was unquestionably one of the objects of the
Presidents late extraordinary Kansas Message to
damage Gov. Reeder's chance of being admitted
TO q seat on the floor Of the House as delegate
from that Territory There is reason, however,
to spprehend that in this, as in other objects of
that Message the President and his advisers may
have reckoned without their host. Gov. Reeder's
letter, which we publish to-day, and which must
be taken only as q foretaste of good things to
come, shows that the President and his Border
Ruffan Cabinet viii find in the ex-Gover-

for the President and his Attorney General

them to keep Indian Agent Clarke in Office, though
accused of cold-blooded murder. But when it

The freezing of the Ohio r yer, by the facilities
thus furnished for crossing from Kentucky to Ohio,
seems to have stimulated many of the bondsmen of
the latter State to attempt their escape We learn
BY telegraph from Cincinnati of the recapture there
yesterday of several of these fugitves, not without
tragicn circumstances of the most affecting chsrac-
ter. A mother finding escape hopeless from the
hands Of the slavecatchers, to her three chill
dren from being dragged back to Slavery, cut their
throats, instantly killing one and severely wound
ing the other two. Six of the fugitives were cap
tured, but eight, belonging to another party, are
said to have effected their escape When the
slave mothers Of the South begin to be affected
with this fanatcism for freedom, it is not to be
believed that either they their children long
be retained in bondage. Still less is it to be be-
lieytd that the humane and Christian people of the
North. will tolerate the execution among them Of
kidnapping statute by which mothers are driven
to such extremities.

This act of 1850 not only violated the rights Of in

the part Of Congress, which had no authority direct

 MR. EDITOR: Justice to whom justice is due, although, in many instances, 1t places individu- alsin quite an unenviable position. The things which are Cesar's should go to Cesar, and the things which are Gods should be rendered to God. Having been citizen of this State for five years, and for many previous, have l heard report after report (and they have pub. lished it abroad that greatly the majority Of the members of the State Legislature from session to session, were men, who prided them selves more iu incompetence, gambling and dssipatons generally, than to legislate for the good of their constituents. To what extent these reports were true, if at all, l am not able to say but l now speak from personal observations; have been present every morning in the hall, when the journals were read, since this session convened, except three or four at the beginning, and from that time to the pre- sent, (be it to their prase) have not seen any member the least disguised with ardent spirits at any time; ard We are fully persuaded, take them as legislative body, they have not been surpassed in point of morals, in the south west, if in the Union; as proof that we do not say too much, we give the remarks of gentleman vis- tor who was raised in colder climate than this. After spending some days looking on, he re- marked to me a fow days ago, "Sir am agree ably disappointed in finding so intelligent body here, I have visited the legislatures of five States, and I can say to you, never have seen more intelligent, sober, and business set of legislators" In the place of spending their evenings in lnirthlulness, they can be found at their boarding rooms, and with that zeal which eharsc;orlzes the faithful legislator, discussing and suggesting business for the coming day; business IS progressing finely; laws are being enacted to suppress the evil of dram- drinking as beverage, encouragement to railroads, edu- cation, etc. And we doubt not, but the best laws in the wisdom of the body will be enacted for the reclaiming and distribution of their swamp lands; and whether the capital of the State be moved or not, we hereby notify the friends generally, Gas leap year is not quite out), they need not be surprisedif some of the bache- lors and widowers in the legislative departmen. make their escape from single wretchedness to connabal enjoyments e'er this session adourns.

The Presidents Message.

We give this morning, to the exclusion of much other matter, the greater portion of our paper to the publication in full of the Presi- dents message. It is President Pierces last annual communication 10 Congress, and is worthy of the man. From the perusal of no document have we ever risen more profoundly impressed with the ability integrity and patri- otism of the author The positions assumed, the arguments advanced, and the sentiments uttered, will meet with hearty response from the American people, while the merit of the whole as literary performance, will add to Mr. Pierce's already widespread reputation as ripe scholar.
 We trust every one will give the message the attentive reading it deserves. None who slo so will deem it an hour idly spent. It em- bodies a mass of information, and places i'm Portant questions in so clear light, that it will prove interesting, if not instructive, to every one. It goes, at great length, into the origin and progress of the agitation upon the question of slavery. In bold and perspicuous style, it follows the subject, through all of its intricacies and ramifcations, from the enactment of the Missouri compromise down to the recent Pre- sidential election, and presents an able and conclusive justification of the position and po- hey of the democratic party. It treats of the Kansas troubles with ungloved hands, and holds mp to public scorn both the State and in- dNidual ustigators of them.
 The saiutary influence of such document which, because of its source will be read and pondered over by the masses at the north. must be widely felt, and will, no doubt bring about more healthy and patriotic state of feeling among the northern people; and, for this req. son, it has added another item to the daht of gratitude the south already owe to President rieice
 We cannot too highly commend the message. It is calm and forcble review of the admins trat;on upon the questions that have threatened the peace of the Union, and an unanswerable defense not only of the Presidents conduct. but of the cause of the south.
 The information the message gives of the "state of the Union" will also fill every good citizen with rejoicing Itshows that the march of the Republic to power and greatness among the nations of the earth is steadily upward and onward, while its internal prosperity is unri- vailed

(E- While we return our thanks for the com plement and favor conferred upon the proprie- tors of the True Democrat, in their election as public printers, on Thursday last, by the Gen. eral Assembly, we must not forget to condoie with our nei ghbor of the Gazette, the defeated candidate, and to tender him our sympathies We do so with a due appreciation of his bitter disappointment, knowing, as we well do, the nigh calculations he made when he embraced Know Nothingism, eighteen short months ago. He then thought he had his foot upon the necks of his ole democratic friends and he laughed. But now, how those high hopes lie crushed in the dust! Sam and his strikers have been swept from power. The braggart has been hushed and the proud has been humbled.- Eighty-one votes for the proprietors of the True Democrat and te, for the editor of the Gazette, is state of the case that the most ob- tuse will fully comprehend.
