THE OPPOSITION STATE CONVECTION
Mr.. Bollman, the sensible and well-informed
Indiana correspondent of the Cincinnati
-Gazette, thus writes about the Convention
'-of Of the z2d Of February
The call for the Convention does not give
it the name of Republican" but proceeds
very much after the manner of the National
call, wherein itdisplays sound political sense.
No earthly power can change the nature of
the issue that will be settled next fall, and
no party can keep itself from giving its
strength to one side or the other, unless it
keeps out of the contest altogether. So the
anti-slavery element of the Opposition need
not worry itself about =" sinking the great
and vital ISSUE" and the other elements
conciliated by the concession of the name,
can join fairly in the work. The Conven-
ton, we have no doubt, will be harmonious,
because it will very certainly be moderate
end conciliating; will demand on the ques-
CS% of slavery only aEdistinct emphatic
s6eclaration against its extension by national
help, and its naturalization, in which even
some of the Southern Opposition could join
without straining their faith much. What
sense or use there is in asking anything
more, we can't see.

ST.. Louis AS IT Is.-A person writing
from St. Louis to the Cincinnati Gazette,
advises persons who are barely making q
living where they are, or even those not
making living, not to go to st. Louis to
better their condition. Living is very dear,
times hard, and business dull. Here is
what the writer says about rent, etc.
So far as this city is concerned, the ex-
pense of living is most intolerable, and bus
mess is awfully dull. Landlords charge two
prices for rents, and hundreds of dwellings,
shops and stores, all over the city, are va
cant and !" for rent, which are held at the
California prices of 1853. People are re-
fusing to comply with such outrageous de-
mands. There is no business here that
justiiies any one paying such enormous
prices for the rent of dwellings and stores.
No one ought to pay more than half the
price that is now charged in this city.
I know of several who came here for the
purpose of entering into business, who after
making diligent inquiries about business,
&c., have left, saying, Z" 1t costs too much to
live in st. Louis. Landlords have got to
temper down their rates of rent, otherwise
the people will do it themselves, by leaving
the city and locating at other places.

A New IDEA.--We think the idea pro-
pounded by the Hon. Lnther G. Carter, of
New York, in his mastery speech in the
House of Representatives, on Wednesday
last, relative to the recapture of fugitive
slaves, is essentially new. We give it in
MFR. Carriers clear and concise language:
"No slave can be reclaimed under. or by
force of, the fugitive slave law, unless such
slave has violated the sovereign law OF
State by which he is held in bondage II
the master takes his slave out OF a slavehold-
ing State, into free State, and the slave
leaves his master, he cannot reclaim him.
Could he not reclaim any other kind efprop-
erty? But if the slave escapes and goes out
of the State against his masters consent and
thus violates the sovereign law of such
State, he must be returned, because the
General Government is bound to protect
every State in its sovereignty; not because
it acknowledges slaves as property-much
less as common property-but because it is
bound to protect the sovereignty of the
State in all its institutions within the State
limits. 49, Chicago Press and Tribune.

Dsg The Cincinnati Enquirer and New

BsS@ The Cincinnati Enquirer and New
Albany Ledger are down on the Consti-
tuition, President Buchanan's organ, for
sighting the Douglas demonstrations of
Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The Ledger
says of the organ:
The Constitution is too poor to exchange
with the Democratic newspapers of Indiana,
and we presume knows as little about pub
lie sentimendlin this and other Northwestern
States as ifSthey were incorporated in the
Sultan's dominions. We presume, how
ever, after the ventilation which Senator
Brown gave the organ the other day, the
Democrats of Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois
will feel much more fiattered by the omis-
sion of the Constitution TO publish their
resolutions, than they could possibly be by
seeing them in a paper conducted on such
principles

YANKEE INGENUITY.-The Washington
States says:
Not many years ago, one of the slave
holding States regarded the clock peddling
traffic within her limits as a crying evil,
and exacted tax so very enormous upon
every clock that should be thereafter sold
within her limits as to amount to a virtual
prohibition but the Yankee was not slow
in originating plan for its successful eva
sion. He leased the household commodity
for a period of ninety-nine years.

B3-A Southern correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, after speaking of the
progression of the people of the South in
correct ideas of the relations and effects of
Free and Slave Labor, closes with the fol-
lowing sensible advice, which ultra politi-
clans would do well to profit by:
While holding steadfastly to the right
still let moderate counsels prevail. Let it
not be written on the page of history that
the grandest experiment in self-government
that all time has witnessed failed because
contending factions refused to understand
each other.

LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
A nIerited Rebuke.

The New Albany Tribune administers a
severe rebuke to the Republican members of
Congress for their persistency in stubbornly
adhering to Sherman, when there Is no
chance of electing him. The Tribune very
forcibly observes;
AS we remarked in the outset, all parties
are to be blamed for the failure to elect
Speaker. Obstinacy will not elect. There
must be concession, and we think it is high
time for the Republicans to propose COM
promise candidate, who will be acceptable
to portion at least of the South Ameri-
cans and Anti Lecompton Democrats. The
country will not hold the Republicans
blameless unless they make move of this
character. Already complaints are being
made in Republican papers of the policy
adopted by their party in Congress, and
these complaints will continue to spread
and increase. The sooner proper spirit of
compromise and Cancellation is shown by
Republican Representatives, the better it
will be for the welfare of their party. Let
them be wise in time
We agree with the Tribune. The Re-
publicans have carried this game just about
far enough, and as they are in the plurality
Though not the majority, it would look
well in them to lead off in the manifestation
of sincere desire to organize, by trying
some man like Mr.. Corwin, Mr.. Pennington,
Mr.. Morris, of Pennsylvania, or Mr.. Hick-
man, who could be elected if the Republic
cans all should stand up to him faithfully.
The attempt on the part of the Republicans
to force down Sherman, as they did Banks,
in 1855, against the wishes of good and
true men like George G. Dunn, will not win
for them much public approval. We say to
them, now is the time to save your credit.
