4 6 o'clock, p M.-The Students as
sembled in the hall, formed a torch
l,sht procession, accompanied with mar
tial music and one piece: of cannon, anu
proceeded to march through the village,
when they were joined by n number of
who crowded along the side
walk cheering with stentorian voices
The procession was everywhere saluteG
by the patriotic cheers and gleesome
laugh of the fair daughters of State
where ffourished and faded Washing
tons. The colored population hailed
the occasion as jubilee and heaped bitter
execrations upon those persons who in
der the avowed garb Of deiiveranca
rivet moretightly their chains Sf of slavery
Permission being given 5y the authori-
testo fire cannon within the incorpora-
tlon, the effigies of Seward, Giddings
and Phillips were successfully burnt
WIFI an interval of FIVE minutes each.
and, as the lambent flame fickered upon
the dying ashes Of each, the heavy re-
port of the cannon accompanied by dea-
lamp; mig Shouts from the multitude de-
clared the heartfelt odium justly heaped
upon those infamous wretches, who have
proved themselves scourge to the ma
ton, disgrace to humanity, and,
leagued with the Internal powers have,
with sacriligiuus hands disclaimed, dis
honored, and profaned the patriotic life
blood of Onr fathers sacrificed upon the
altar ofLiberty. The procession then
returning, were hailed with the same ac-
of iov.

sword to head the column, the way the
brave sons Of this noble young State
will wheel into line, will strike terror
into the ranks Of Black Republicans.
What, Sir, tell me that Henry A.
Wise cannot carry the State of Mime
so to the tune OF thousands The idea
/ is preposterous. Let US calculate a
little. Every State in the Union has rep
resentatives in Minnesota, SO have the
nations of Europe. The sons Of the SUNNY
South would draw to him as the needle
to the pole then there are the middle
States--some of them would vote for
him, because il can be demonstrated
that ne was mainly instrumental in pro-
curing the nomination of our venerable
President, and that nomination saved
US from the curse of Fremontism. 9th
ers, who differ from the President on
the Lecompton question, would vote for
him because he too urged the submis-
sion of the Constitution to the people of
Kansas. Then, sir, we have the regular
downeasters, the real live yankee, who
has LAID the world under tribute to his
genius, and must have a wor,I. = :,
his notions in. .aany 81 these are
ocra.-ss true as steel, that love the
| Union for the sake ef the Union. Then
again, there is portion who make a
good deal of noise about free soil, and
all that, who care as little about the
poor darkey as they do about the ID.
and less about either, than the almighty
dollar, and the dollar they will and must
have they will very shrewdIy guess"
that dividing the Union will not be a
money making business, and might re-
suit in loss of custom so these will
be likely to vote foi Wise, because he
has said that he would sooner have
war with Old England than New Eng
land, and that he will fight for the Union
IN The Union. And lastly, look at the
mighty host of our fcreign-born citizens,
mostly Catholics, think you, sir, that
these would prove ungateful to the man
who. by almost suterhuman exertIons,
rescued them and their religion from
the degradation to which Knownothing-
ism intended to consign them but of

Slavery Restriction.

We copy from the St. Louis Epenine
're,os. the views of Hon. Edward Bates
ot Missouri, in relation to the non-ex-
tension OF Slavery, as follows -
THE SOUTH IN HONOR BOUND TO TIE ORR
GINAL RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY LAW.
Mr. Bates Goes not, therefore regard
me non--admission of Slavery into the
errtories of the Union as establishing
a distinction between property but
simply as maintaining distinction al
ready established, willingly assented to
by the South at the formation of the
Government, and ever sience. 1t is
only at the instance mischievous dem
agogues that the Sonth is now tempted
to change its position, and abandon the
literal and traditional! compromises of the
Constitution. As true and upright
Citizen, who loves his country's wellkept
faith, as he does his own private honor
Mr.. Bates oppos the attempt Of south
ern fanatics to max Slavery overleap
its original rights, limitation, and rela-
tions to other property of the Union.
Inasmuch as the entire Democratic
Po'C VI TIC fIoc OtdteS are fs ~
opposed as even the Republican party
to the extension Of Slavery over terri
tory previously free, it is evident thai
Congress will not interfere. THE South
ern men who object to Bates, might ask
themselves whether more honor or
advantage is gained by asking what can
not be had, and submitting to the fatal
necessity of denial and defeat, or ask
ing only that the present limits, privil-
eyes. and guarantees of Slavery be
maintained, and obtaining it with the
cheerful and hearty concurrence of
nine-tenths of all parties in the Uuion.
