Fremont's opposition to slavery in Kansas was
not based upon principle, he treated it simply as n
question of erpediency, and tAe great mass of his
followers did the same. That was n pertinent
question that was asked by q somewhat profane

THE WORCESTER CONVENTION.

This Convention marks an era in the anti-sla-
very enterprise. When politicians are willing to
consider the question of disunion, much is gained.
When they decide that all moral obligation for
continuing it is passed, and that its continuance or
destruction sis only one Of policy,"a further step
is given. One far in advance of that which the
nation occupied, when politicians of every class
assented to the ORTHODOXY of Daniel Webster's doc
trine, that nowhere and for no consideration or
provocation, was the question ever to be raised
Now, thanks to slaveholding DULLES and abolition
discussions, it is no longer a prohibited topic; and
its presentation no longer strikes the people with
amazement and horror. Now in the "heart of the
Old Commonwealth" politicians are gravely assem-
bled in fraternity with Garrison and Philips. and
with a reasonable prospect of quite a different rep
utation, from that which has hitherto attached to
the participants in the Old Hartford Convention.
1t may be true as Mr.. Higginsnn has said, most
probably it is true, that disunion will never take
place as the immediate result of giant and sober
discussion, or of q cool calculation of tho blessings
that may follow from such an event, or of the evils
inseparable from a continuance of the partnership
with shareholders. But discussions. and conven'
tons. and petitions which familiarize the people
with the possibility of the event, and remove their
superstitions vcneration from this idol of their
~idolatry, are doing the genuine an,i-slavery work
which this nation needs above all others; and pre-
pairing it for that decided action which siaveholding
insolence and aggressions may yet prompt it tc
adopt in some hour of honest and honorable in
dignation. We therefore hail this movement O.
some of the anti-slavery politicians of Massachu
sets, adopted at so seasonable a time and con
sumated with SO much ability and success, as ont
that will contribute to hasten the emancipation o
our millions of slaves. Blessings be upon thos,
who have had the moral heroism to call and hol(
such an assembly for such a purpose. We wisl
we could welcome such q movement in Ohio, bu
we fear that the anti-slavery men in the Republican
party hero in the west, who may be convinced o
the evils of continued union, are not yet prepared
by moral courage or hope of success to lead off il
such an enterprise.

DEAR NJ. When you heard that New York roll

far as concerns the Republicans in this section,
unless those we have not seen, are very unlike
those we hare seen. / think l do not hazzarC
anything in saying that the Republicans of South

of our Western R%egorve, as the National Demo
cratic party is behind its competitor.
The people here very properly make the distinc
ton between Republican and aboltionist if they
did not, James Gordon Bennett would have &c
protest against being ranked with niger wOr
shipers'-an idea too ludicrous for any sane mind to
entertain. The first principles Of anti-slavery need
as much to be taught here. as they ever did in any
portion of our country fifteen or twenty years ago.
The Republicans are not anti-slavery, and do moi
claim to be they are simply non-extensionists.-

GOVERNOR POLLOCK ON THE UNION.

Governor Pollock of Pennsylvania, has outdone
most of the northern saviours of the Union, in the
zeal of his words for that especial prop and pillar
of Slaveholding.
In his late annual message. he says:
"The union of the States, which constitutes us
one people, should be dear to you--to every Amer
lean citizen. In the heat and excitement of DO.
litical contests--in the wbirl of sectional and con-
ficting nterests-amid the surglng of human
passions, harsh and discordant voices may be heard
threatening it's integrity and denouncing its doom;
but in tue calm, "soher second thought" Of a pat
riotic and virtuous people, will be found its securi-
ty and defense. Bounded in wisdom, and cher
lshed by the intense affection of pure and devoted
patriotism, it will stand, safe and undisturbed.

it falls IF fall it must-it will be when liberty and
truth, patriotism and virtue, have persisted. Penn.

1t is worthy Of notice, that almost all
the Kansas correspondents of Eastern
papers are FOREIGNERS, and are the spe-
clal pets of Gov. Robinson. While we
would not condemn them on account of
of their birthplace alone, we would have
right to question their patriotism to
our Government, when we hear them de-
clare that we must go into the Union un-
der the Topeka Constitution, or stay out
of it under the same. We love the cline of
our nativity too well to take any such
position as this. The star-spangled ban
ner that foated over every battlefield
from Lexington to the Gate of Belen at
the entrance ofthe City of Montezumas,
has been our protection heretofore, and
it must be in Kansas. We honor that
flag too much to desert it now for the
Topeka Constitution. We think too
much of our own independence to ignore
it by following the dictates of a wild ia
natical Oligarchy-an Oligarchy engaged
in attempting to suppress freedom Of
speech, by charging that Robert j. Wal
ker,s Sold mas accomplished what nought
else could do, and thus point the fingers
of scorn at all those who do not keep step
to the State organization. Kansas, as
free and sovereign State in the URion,
without the Topeka Constitution, in pref
erence to Kansas as an independent Re-
public with it.
That is our position, square and fair
and on that platform. we are willing to
go before the citizens of this Territory,
and appeal to them for its endorsement.
We have faith in their love for the IN
ion and the Constitution we have faith
in their patriotism to the American Re
public we have faith that the time is at
hand-at which they will trample beneath
their feet the dictates of either foreign or
native leaders who advised them to pur-
sue factious and partisan course for the
sake of NAME, and will take their own
way into the Confederacy. Their own
intelligence is a sure guaranty that that
way WILDE the shortest and the best

NorHrxe STRAxeE.-The Quindaro
Chindopan complains that person went
into hotel at Lawrence, and inquired
what time the coach left for Quindaro, to
which the Clerk replied, "Quindaro |!
where is that place." The proprictors
of the hotel were interested in rival
town. The editor & the Czindoran must
get used to these things, like the rest OF
us have. Does it not know that this is
the game of small-souled people in Kan
sas, when they find that rival town q
getting ahead of their pet place. If Quin-
daro had been place likely always to
remain in insigni6cance, that Clerk would
have known where it was. We know Of
a certain steamboat, the officers of which
are interested in rival to White Cloud.
This boat has landed more freight and
passengers here. the present season. than
any other boat in the trade, and more
than it has at the place in which it is in
terested yet the officers spare no oppor-
tunity to disparage White Cloud. II
they have passengers to land here, they
will scarce stop long enough for them to
get of and often they have to jump, to
keep from tumbling back into the river
so fearful are the officers, that some Of
the other passengers may see and take a
liking to the place. Coming down, they
never stop, no matter how many signals
are made for them to do so, or how ur-
gent is the business of those who wish to
take passage. The officers then give out
the impression that there is never any bu-
sincss going on at White Cloud, and
that they never have any occasion to stop.
If they should pass a boat at White
Cloud, their memorandum, as published
in the St. Louis papers, never says so.
1t tells that the boat passed such and such
steamer, so many miles below this point,
or so many miles above that-but White
Cloud, the very place where the boat was
passed, is not mentioned. If this game
pays them. let them so it. There are
many boats in the trade. far superior to
the one in question, and their officers are
gentlemen. Perhaps this boat can gel
along without any business from White
Cloud. We intend to do what we can,
to induce persons to take passage and ship
freight on boats whose officers can at least
tell the truth.
