The Tribune in speaking of the Slave Insurrec
ton, says: go. 4- --
Z The recent dealings in several Southern States
with slaves accused of conspiracy to revolt and
overpower or escape from their masters have ex-
hibited some features which deserve thoughtful
consideration. ,@' 80 'f ~.
l. The slaves are not allowed to learn to read
and whoever teaches them subjects himself to
punishment; there is no provision even for the
reading of the laws within their hearing; yet
they are held to a rigid accountability for avery
violation of those laws-those nterdicting the
assembiage of more than a small number of
black persons, for example. No matter though
such assemblage be for religious worship, or to
celebrate wedding or funeral, the penalty is the
same. 1it'< .'i-. 49,. --+ d. a%1.
2. Though slave testimony is good for nothing
against white men, it s good enough to hang
one another. Even though it be whipped oat
of the poor, frightened creature by whaling him
within an inch of his life, it answers every pur-
pose. .sa ..,.- .,..,
3. Though the laws are all made by white
men, and are as severe and one sided as possible,
yet the poor slave suspected OF conspiracy tore
volt is not allowed even such protection as they
profter him; but let the neighboring white Loaf
ers once get the notion in their heads that there
is or may be plot among the slaves of any To-
cality to revolt, and at once they setto work ar
resting, overhaurg, questioning. whipping, tor
turing, hanging, without the least regard either
for the sacred rights Of property or the right OF
the victims to such protection and immunity as
the law made by their masters voucisaics them.

That EinnlitY,

1t will be recolected that in 1850, during
the administration of Milard Fillmore, there
was a good deal said about a ''finality" to the
Slavery agitation; and it will be recollected
too, that the Slavocrats, not content with their
infamous triumph, the passage of the Fugitive
Slave Law, but they must test its stability a
year or more after its passage, by "hnslity,
which was brought forward on the ground
that if agitation could then cease, quiet would
ensue, all ever the country, and a reign OF
peace and prosperity would be the result
Well, that finaty in the shape of bill ap-
proving of that odious measure did pass, and
what is the result?
Instead of quiet the Presidents Message
makes this agitation the burthen of its song
both branches of Congress continue to agitate;
Southern Conventions agitate; Northern men
acitate, as well they may; the Supreme Court
agitate in ,the case of a free colored man,
suing for his rights; and the Slaves them
selves, being mostly concerned in the agitation,
have taken it into their heads to agitate, and a
pretty well concerted plan was nearly consuma'
ted for freeing themselves from Slavery The
people of Kansas have and still agtate this
| question, and are determined that Free State
| shall grow out of this agitation.
| Now, we would ask in all sincerity, where
| is the quiet that was promised the country, il
the provisions for catching runaway slaves
were carried out on the part of their North
ern white slaves? and where's the fruits OF this
fnality about which we heard so much.?-
The truth is, men may cry peace, but there
is no peace, and can be none, so long as thi'
Slavery is sought to be pushed forward te
| usurp the place of Freedom.

Addition to noon Senate.
On motion of Mr.. Weller, resolution was
adopted calling on the President to communi-
cate statement of all payments and allowances
which have been made and of all claims disal-
lowed General Scott from the day he joined the
army i'll Mexico to Dec. lst, 1886, together with
any correspondence on the subject.
Here Mr.. Wash5urne, of ILL.,, rose to make
his former assertion that the Democratic papers
Of that State, for the most part, did not publish
the resolutions of the Cincinnati Convention
denouncing Gen. Pierces Administration, thus
by this omission repudiating it. The Galena
Courier and the Springfield Register admitted
that they did not publish the resolution. .,
Messrs. Marshal and Havens, democrats Of
Illinois, took issue that the democracy Of that
State avoided the document and the position
presented by the Cincinnati platform. The
resolution endorsing President Pierce was not
part of the platform. The democratic conven.
ton passed one of similar import, which was
published in all the Illinois democratic papers.
The Diplomatic Consular Appropriation bill
being under consideration Mr. Haven moved to
strike out the appropriation for salary to twen-
ty-tive Consular pupils aud asked whether we
are to have Consular School in which to edu
cate them. Mr. Pennington explained that Con-
sular pupils were Clerks to Consus, where sala
ries were insufficient to enable them to employ
such assistance, they would however be trained
to the business of Consuls Mr. Quitman conci
ded Nilh Mr. Havcn--he had always thought i!
should be post Diplomacy and not that of de-
cent, which exists in European countries. Fur.
ther debate ensued concerning the paying ofCon'
sular pupils, when the appropriation for their
salaries were stricken out and the bill passed.
Adjourned till Friday.

They were accompanied to the cars by Messrs.

briefly giving them good encouragement. They
were comfortably clothed, and there was not
a sad face among them. They were mostly Of
the class of children in whom humanity had
most reason to be interested. Some OF them had
been taken from the streets, homeless outcasts
who have perished amidst the vices and power

which saved and is now about to elevate them.
There were among the boys some of noble pro.

''Now NONE so PooE AS TO DO HIM REVERENCE.
Poor Pierce, it seems, has at length lost
even the kindness of the South, to which he
has been so abjcct slave. The Mobile Adv,
of the 18th holds the following language in
regard to Judge Lecompte's removal:
This action seems on par with Mr.. Pierce's
whole proceeding in regard to Kansas and the
slavery question. He writes well and pointedy on
one side and acts directly to the contrary of all his
fine sentiments. He is certainly an adept in
the sublime art of looking one way and rowing
another-and should be suitably remembered
therefore at the next "Exhii ition of the Indus
try of all Nations" The Southern Adminisra
ton press has hardly done lauding to the echo
his last annual message, and now we have to
record his hasty atonement to Northern aboli-
ton sentiment by the appointment of Spencer
and the removal of Lecompte-the latter the
great bugbear Of Black Republicanism. What
comes next? .....

---- Syracuse, Dec. 5U
A meeting of the Americans called for to-
day at Constitutional hall, was Held at the st.
Charles Hotel. The attendance was small in
numbers. Stevens presided; he announced
that it was the object of the convention to de.
eide upon plan of action. The expression OF
the meeting was almost unanimous in favor OF
reunion with the regular American party, on the
ground that the leaders of the Republican par
ty of this State are opposed to reform, while
the American party expressed its determination
to occupy the position laid down on the Bing'
hampton platform.
The afternoon session was spent in a discus
sion as to the practicability of reunion, aud
eventually committee was appointed with au
thority to confer with similar committee thai
might be appointed by the Americans, and te
cali further Convention of the North Ameri
cans if deemed expedient. -

Complexion of the supreme Court.

Complexion of the Supreme Court.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says of the complexion of the su-
preme Court of the US, on:the Missouri Slave
Case:
The position of the Court on the question is
quite generally understood to be this: Messrs
Curtis Of Massachusetts, Nelson of New York,
and Mclean of Ohio, are in favor of the power
of Congress toprohibit slavery in the Terrific
ries. Messrs. Campbell of Alabama, Wayne OF
Georgia, and Daniels of Virginia, are against it.
The Judges whose positions are not so well de-
fined are understood to be Grier of Pennsylva-
MIA, Catron of Tennessee, and the Chlef-Justice
Taney, of Maryland. Thus it may be seen that
the division is geographical and sectional; Of
the three Judges who hold the balance OF power,
two live. well up to the Ohio River and Mason
and Dixon,s Line. II they lived further South,
the judgement of the Court would be in less
| doubt. But for the hostility OF the shareholders
we would have now on the Bench either Mr..
w. B. Reed or Judge Woodward of Pennsylya-
MIA, in place of Grier, both OF whom we're nom
mated for the place, the FIRST named by John
Tyler, the other by Polk, but bo(h rejected as
being unsound on the negro question, and we
should have had Mr.. Badger in the place OF
