9. In insisting that Save1 agitation must DO

shall suit his convenience to ship them to some
Slave STATE.
TO- In telling US that we mast no longer discuss
or agae the subject of Slavery. yet not telling US
bow we are to help it when such schemes IS the
purcbase or conquest of slavehOldmg Cuba, with
the evident and avswcd purpose Of strengthening
Slavery in our Union. are annually forced upon US
by the very party which most loudly denounces
Slavery agitation.
Such are tho more conspicuous features OF the
Union-savers' platform, which was read BY Mr.
james Brooks, aud followed by short speech,
wherein bre7ty and sanctmOny were allke culti-
vated. His attempt to scout the notion OF pOssi-
BILE oppugnancy between the enlightened human
conscience and an inhunan statute was simply ab-
suId.
Mr. George Briggs, Dr. c., telegraphs from
Washington that Lie is with the Unlon-sa'ers, heart
and soul. IL was by assuring the Rt pdblcans ot

Ex.Presdent Fillmore sent different and
thoroughly manly etter--oue which emoOdes some

Hhcb frankly end faithfully holds up to reProoatou
tie violation of the Missouri Compact by the passage
Of the Nebraska bill us tho real source OF tue
present agitation respecting Slavery which this
meeting proesses to deplore, while giving all possI-
be aid and comfort to the authors and hackers Of
that iniquiy. Mr.. Fillmcre's lester is altogether
the best thing eGcited by this meeting, aoi VIII
commend him to the gratitude of many thousands
ExGo HUT made ratDer o long speech, full OF
silver-sOundiDg commoDPaces, with little good or
harm in them. He argues that the North, havlag
secured Kansas ought to cashier and exercise the
spirit which gave her that triumph, and that the
establishment of Slavery in New-Mexico, under a
most nbuman code, is of DO serious consequence,
because not many sloves Will ever be taken thither
II that be sound logic, then the backwardness OF
the North in the matter OF restoring fugitive slaves
TO their owners is not worth making fuss about,
stree very few runaway slayes-not one out OF
every hundred-wll ever bo sent back, whether the |
fugitive law be respected or not VIII tho ex- |

Mr. Hunt tells his readers that he uniformly |
voted, while in Congress, in accordance with the
sentiments be now puts forth We stand ready to
show that he veted with the great body OF the
Free-Sol Whigs, now Republicans, for the Wiinot

We Will not do this, however, uress he chil-

Tie Hon. John 4 Dix-whO ran for Governor
in AS on the Van Buren and Adams Free Soil
ticket with Seth NJ Gates for Lieutenant-made
about the btterest aud meanest Speech OF the oc-
casion; whence we infer that his chances Of get
ting the French Mission are good-at least IN his
own opinion. 1t denounces all manner OF siayery
agitation as if il were all a wantOn, unproToked
assault by the North on the rights OF the South,
never even alludiug to the inecssant and yet un-
tagging sgpressions and exaetions of the Ohgarciy
