completed his task. sailed for Liverpool, on We'd,
nesday last, in the steamer Asia, Capt. Lott
From the time Vt his landing to the hour of bis
departure, it gives us great pleasure to state,-
wherever he went. and with u huelity matched
only by his sound judgement,-he did not fail 10

against our great national sin Of slavery, both in
public and private, aud was uniformly listened to

brave and upright spirit. An example of this

The last testimony which Mr.. Robson leaves be.
hind him is the following, giving his reasons for
not visiting the slave States.

Our glorious ration's laws.
Therefore please discontinue Immediately and,

Pity It's, tbs rRUE.-The Democratic papers tell .
great many talsehoods of Republicans, but some.
simes too they tell sad truths. as witness the fol-
lowing from the Ohio Patriot:
There was q time when we heard much Of The
painting and hunted slaVe-of the iniq0itovs and
unholy law that returned him and crushed every
hope OF freedom-of that stain on the Statute buok
of our Republic, black and damned as tho spot in
the mind of Macbeth's royal murdersss: when in
fact we heard little else from Republican tongue
or pen than stereotyped aud fearful denunciaticns
OF the Fugitive Slave law. They promised TO re-
peal it. They could not have done less than make
the effort. Their MEMBERS in Congress made no
attempt to that end. The people endorsed the same
members of Congress and their silence on the
have abandonded every idea Of it's repeal. Keep
it before the people that the Republican party
promised to have the Fugitive Slave law repesled
and afterwards having a majority in Congress.
they did not even introduce a Till for that purpose
and that now they recognize that hitherto odious
Statute. as one Of the settled laws of the Country.

allow you the privilege of breaking the
pledge. We are yet in infancy, and have
not had q chance to show what we can do
But don't be discouraged. 1t is never too
late, too soon, too hot, nor too cold for fires
to break out. Then be watchful, and al
ways ready. In times of peace prepare for
war.
The white people gelerally are kind and
indulgent to Us and this occasion is a clear
demonstration of this fact, and we owe them
debt of gratitude, that we can only repay
by our obedience, politeness, good work and
department. In conclusion, I will give you
as a sentiment: ..
The Auziziaries.-May the citizens Of
Washington properly estimate and appre-
ciate your exertions to save their property
from destruction by fire, and may you ever
prove yourselves worthy Of, the notice taken
Of and the respect showed to you by the fire
department, and the citizens generally.

ANEcDoTE OF WAsH1NaToN.-It has Of
ten been remarked Of Washington that no
one was ever is his presence without being
strongly impressed With reverence for his
dignity. But it seems by the following an
ecdote, which is is related BY the correspon.
dent Of New York paper, that at least there
was one exception: "When the President
was procuring the grounds for the city which
was to be the seat of government, he had
but little difficulty in obtaining the necessa.
ry releases, except in one instance. Mr..
James Byrnes was the owner of a lot or tract
of land which it was advisable should be in
cluded in the plan. The General had yari-
Gus conferences with Mr.. B., who was spe.
eially obstinate, and resisted all the reason.
ing and persuasion Of the great man. In
dignant at being thus opposed, Washington
turned upon him with great severity, "Mr.

DOUGLAS Nor SusTA1NED.--The Demo.
cracy of Illinois held State Convention at
Springfield on the 21st ultimo, twenty-eight
counties being represented by upwards Of
one hundred and forty delegates. Resolu.
tions were unanimously adopted approving
the Kansas policy of the administration, and
re.afarming the true principles Of the Gin
cinnati platform, expressing implicit conf.
dence in Mr.. Buchanan, and disposing OF
the "little giant" thus: 20.
Resozved, That We do not war against
individuals, but from high sense Of duty
we are compelled to condemn the course Of
Senator Douglas and his confederates in the
House of Representatives, in opposing the
national administration and apparently sf-
fliating with the republican party, and that
while we fully recognise the former services
of these gentlemen as democrats, it is more
in sorrow than anger that we announce that
in the opinion of this convention their course
is antagonistic to democratic principles, and
destructive of the harmony and perpetuity
of the democratic party.
