the terrible Wiso, and the fate Of his victim the
gallant John Brown. If the Republican side of
the house had secured even so much as n shred
of the cid hero's mantle, it would not have disgra-
oed itself as it had done. The chivalry of Virgin
ia is ridiculed because it was frightened by q COW,
and the bawling Of a Missouri calf las carried
trepiGation into the ranks Of the Republican rep
resentatives at Washington.
When this matter is settled, we hope the Re-
publicans will be catechised in regard to that in
surrectionary sentiment in the Declaration
OF Independence, that 'all men are created
equal" 1t will afford a fine opportunity for dis
Chalmers and explanations. The Senate, not hav,
ing Harper's work officially before it, seems a
little inclined to investigate the opinions of its
members in relation to this reasonable sentiment
Trumbull, of III. who is regarded as a very excel
lent anti-slavery Republican, has already mani
tested his willingness to make confession of faith,
for be sfirms that although this declaration oil
mans equality is on abstract truth when we
come to form government and organize society
all persons do not haze equal rights - 1t may be
owing to the prejudice of early education, buI
really it seems to US, that if equal rights are wor'l
anything at any time, il is just precisely when We
come to form governments and organize society.
Now if any Of our readers wish to know the
cause of this base bowling Of the knee to the DARK
spirit of slavery" it will be well to remember tht
fact that a President is to be elected in 1850, ant
that success in the contest can only be secured by
a sacrifice of principle.

THE PLUCK OF GOV. CHASE.

Gov. Chase, in his official reply to a letter adj
dressed to him by Gov. Wise, assures the Virginia
Executive. that while the people OF Ohio stand rea-
dy to fulfill their Constitutions obligations. and
deliver up escaping criminals in the prescribed
manner, "They cannot consent, however, to the
in sasipn of her territory by armed bodies from
other states, even for the purpose of pursuing or
~arresting fugitives from justice"
This, the Republicans regard as a manifestation
Of pluck, and are delighted with it. Great pluck,
truly! John Brown with his score Of followers
entered Virginia, and frightened her chivalry half
to death; q COW, with two unmanufactured powder
horns on her head, threw the entire State into con-
WILSON'S. And when Virginia is thus easily scared
upon her own soil, ii must take a marvellous deal
of pluck Tor Gov. Chase to tell Wise he must net
bring his troops to Ohio!
In their admiration Of the Governors pluck, oui
Republican friends entirely overlook the only
thing in the letter worthy of notice-his pledge
that the cisisens of Ohio will fuldll their Coustitu
tional obligations. Translate that into palmer en-
elish, if you can, and read it in the light OF thu
present, and what does it mean? BsS" That Barc

Some of the creditors of the above named road

ment of a Receiver, and Jos. X. E~dgarton Of Pitts
burgh was accordingly appointed, with authority
to take possession Of all the property on the road,
and to operate the line from Pittsburgh to Chica.

with entire satisfaction, for as soon as the fact
was known, application was made FOR the appoint
ment OF O Sequestrator, to receive and disburse
the proceeds of the road on behalf of the appli-
Giants and those they represent. f. Haskins De
Puy, acting President of the company, was appoin-
ted, and the road is at present under his direction.
These matters are. we presume, far more inter-
esling to the creditors of the road, and its stock
holders, than to those who are only passengers.

The year Of 1850 is destined to be the most
eventful known in the history Of our country
That year will witness the election of a Republic
can President. That year will be pregnant with
stirring evepts. The most exciting presidential
election probably ever held in this country will
then take place. Hence that year will DO the year
when a good newspaper will be appreciated by q
reading community.
The Leader will support the Republican nomi-
nee for President whoever he may be. and will
labor with all its might to help secure his election.
In order to enable Us so to do, it is necessary that
our Republican friends should give us their aid by
helping us to extend its circulation. 1t is need
lees for US to speak of the principles advocated by
the Leader. 1t speaks for itself. Suffice it for us
to say that the course of the Leader in the future
will be the same as it has always heen. Is will
oppose Locofoioism in all its hybrid shapes. Ii
will oppose the extension of Slavery into Territory
now Free, and i; will advocate the repeal CT the
infamous Fugitive Slave Law. .
With this reiteration of our principles, we leave
it with our friends to exert themselves to extend
the sphere of the usefulness of the Leader by
getting up clubs aud increasing it's circulation.

At PHILADELPHIA.

We find in the Eocaing Bulletin. tho following
brief, and we doubt net, very imperfect sketch of
the remarks Of Mary Grew at the ommemoration
meeting held in Philadelphia,
Miss Mary Grew was the next speaker. Her
remarks were %pOeticol and enthusiastic, being q
clear, sweet chaunt in praise of Brown, and a fell
c~itiously expressed "lesson" drawn frJm Browns
devotion to the right and the true. A lesson Of
faith, f%ortitude, answering courage our brother
has taught us. lie has also taught us at this hour
a lesson Of undaunted selfsacrifce for the love Of
humanity. And by that love is the whole world
to be saved though every bar should DO placed in
its way. We must be baptized in tho spirit of
shat love il We would come up to the level of our
high destiny. Another great lesson our brother
has taught us is that we should be no respecter OF
persons-that all men are equal children Of God
Almighty. If we would do our duty, we must hold
TO our hearts the poorest and most oppressed of all
humanity. Another lesson is that the sword by
which moral reforms are accomplished, is the
scord of The spirit, and not the sword of carna1
warfare. The force of bullets is soon spent, but
the power Of a Great Idea is eternal. There is nc
power like that of the spoken word of Truth, and
the Truth acted ont in our lives. And we should
ponder whether We are ready to suffer and to die i
it is our duty, in testifying against American Sla
very. Are we strong enough for this, through
our Lord Christ Jesus?
In closing, the speaker thanked God for tina
music which comes pedling to US across the centu
ries from heroic lives and more heroic deaths o
martyrs who have died for the Faith. She chaun
tee the praises of strength and Of endurance il
dying for the right.

TWENTY-SlXTH NATIONAL ANTI.SLAVERY
INSCRIPTION ANNIVERSAR Y,
III the month Of January neat, in Boston,
1850.

In a year when Americans finds themselves cit
liens Of o country where the African slave trade
is going on, and slave-hunting unforbiddsn, and
the leading religious and political influences go
dead to this public shame as to discountenance
legislative reform, we are confident that we have
only to open our subscription in order to be becom-
iugly and efectually sustained BY the awakening
virtue of the people, in the enterprise to which our
lives are given.
We %entreat, then, all the friends Of Liberty, and
and the foes of Slavery, everywhere. in the South
as at the N6rth-in Europe as in America-phi-
loaopbers as we'll as Christian, Catholics no less
than Protostants, to subscribe to a fund and u
mode Of expenditure which prepares the way be:
fore every sect, every party. every association ;
which makes all other mems aRti-slavery labor
light, and which has, for six and twenty years,
been laying the foundations Of many generations,
so as to exclude slavery from American %institu.
tons, and secure to posterity those blessings Of
liberty which the last generation passed away
without enjoying.
TUE UNDERSIGNED, while asking the favor OF
their subscribers company, on their customary
Anniversary occasion, are impelled by the good
ness and the grandeur of The enterprise. by its
indispensable necessity, by the universal and fund
amental character OF it's principles, to entSeat also
the assistance of all. The crisis in the nations
life makes the oocasion-one which will be worth
crossing the ocean to participate in. And while
thanking our European friends for their generous
cooperation Of last year with America, we ask its
continuance yet a little longer, till a spirit of de-
votedness adequate to this great world-enterpEiz
shall have been here awakened.
From this day forward through the year We be
gin to arrange our efforts, and economise Our
means, greater or smaller as the case may be, tc
meet this great national claim and we desire al
who would see slavery abolished, and truth, honor
peace, liberty and safety IN righteousness restored
to meet us at it's close, fot cheer, counsel, sacrifice
Resolve and generous cooperation.
