With respect to the future Of tho country
the question of Slavery, and kindred topics,
Governor Hunt is perhaps more hopeful than
we arc, and than tho free States generally.
On ono point certainly we see more reason
for apprehension than he does He regards the
efforts in the S,uth to revive tho slave trade
MS futile. While declaring, and with the ut
mostsncerity we loubt not. that if there were
any real danger on that head, there is no ex
tremity to which we would not 60 to avert 1t.
he strongly aIirms that there is SO such dang
or; that public opinion in the South is enpha-
tically against the proposition. and that tho
few who advocate it are political lunaics.
We cannot avoid feeling that this represcn-
tation Of tho matter is somewhat too hopeful.
Southern men have embarked in the infamous
traffic. in dcfince of law, and havo been sup
ported hv public opinion. Carg0es of slaves
have been llndcd. and have found ready pur-
chasers, and tho p,oplo hiv, m tdc no efflrt to
prevent the dispersion Of the wrctchcd beings
through the country, or to bring the perpe-
traitors # the crime to Justice Evca with res
rcct to the confscation ofthc vessels cngngcd
in the traffic. the punishment designed there
hv was turned into II farce. One of two
things it seems necessary to infer from these
facts-cither that the people generally sympa-
thizc with the slave traders. or the orpositi0ns
is tno feeble to make itself felt and heard
In either case there is peril to the cause Of
humanity.

ADDRESS OF Ex-CovERNoR Hunt We give
to-day at some Inconvenience the address de-
livered ut Hope Chapel last evening by gent
lemon whom we long since learned, and are
not likely ever to unlearn, to esteem and ho-
nor. Circumstances entirely unavoidable pre-
cluded us from listening TO the discourse, but
we are informed hat the attendance was good :,
which the severity of the storm being c5nsi.
dered, tho speaker might regard as high
compliment. The ex Governor was eloquent
ly introduced to the audience by Hiram
Ketchum, Esq. chairman Of the "Whig &C.
neral Committee. Mr.. Ketchum remarked
that it was refreshing to look back to the
time when tho government ofthe country was
administered by Wing President, Mr.. Fill
more, but was silent upon the fact that Mr..
Fillmore himself was among the first to set
on example of abandoning the Whig party,
albeit it was through their votes that he ul-
timately became President. Our friend wa,
also oblivious of the fact that Mr.. Crittenden,
TO whom he pointed as the future leader of
tho wing party, at about the same time aban-
doned that party and became leader Of the
"Native American party" Probably no two
pnblic men nt that day were more influential
in undermining the Wing party than Messrs.
Fillmore and Crittenden. We recall this
fact, which is habtually overlooked by gent
lemen till claiming to be Wings, because il
seems due to the truth of history thati should
be put upon the record, albeit it makes the
position of our late friends appear ammalous
But that is not our fault I'VE may be permitted
to add that when these gentlemen pursue thiI
cnursc they really if not ostensibly, as much
abandon the Whis party as those of their for
mer associates who may have sought poiti
cal home in the Republican or Democrats
camp.
