without proof that such holding was legal

slaves cannot be held legally otherwise than
under some .'local law" Whatever proof
you might make therefore. that you had held
the fugitive as slave, you could not prove
that you held him legally in Tennessee, he
cause in this State there happens to be no
local law establishing the Institution of slav-

5. The Massachusetts act requires The
claimant TO estate in writing the facts' on
which he relies "with precision and certain
ty," to prove each essential fact by two wit
nesses, in the presence of the fugitive,
among which are that he not only held him
as a slave, but held him legaily-and if he
fails in ali this-if the negro is not recover

sue his master for damages in sueh proceed

strong that no power short of that which
parslyzes all memory, and effaces all history,
can separate US, that the ashes of those
brave men who fought with us and for us rest
beneath our soil, and that they have in their
keeping the bones of our soldiers who per-
ished in their defence; that our glorious in
stitutions, under whose guidance and protec-

States the joy and hope Of oppressed mil

the wisdom, built by the toll, and defended

not perish without an eternal reproach to
Us, their children, if we destroy so great and
so fair an Inheritance.
At the end of the reading, the Mayor put
the question to the multitude: ''Shall these
resolutions of union and harmony in this re-
public be adopted" when the united voices
of the vast assemblage went up in one ire
mendous AYE! followed by nine cheers for
the Union.
Speeches were made by Hon. JOSEPH r..

Esq, the President of the Select Council,
Mr.. CUYLER, and Hon. ISAAC HAzLEHURsT.

And a great meeting it unquestionably
was-great in the impulses which led to It,.
great in the numbers, and great in the char
acter and spirit of the vast majority of those
who participated in it. The people of Phil
adelphia desired to make it an occasion Tor
marking their devotion to the Constitution
under which they have so long lived and
fOurished, and of their determination to
abide by the Union which have been their
pride and glory. To this end they came to-
gether, ready TO make any sacrifices of mere
opinions; to agree to any propositions, which
involving no surrender of principles might
open the way to a peaceful settlement of the
troubles which now distract the nation.

For the Daily Patriot
Mr.. NichoIson,s Letter.

Tie best thing we have ever seen from the
Honorable Senator. 1t is calm, just, sensible,
pacific. Such sentiments do him credit.
They assume only the suitable credit, rights
and dignity for the State of Tennessee.
God grant that every man of influence, in
official or private station, may concur and
make known such views. Let them be in
culcated throughout these Central States, and
the imperishable honor and glory will, in all
probability, be earned of accomplishing a
work in which our posterity and all lovers
of peace and free government "tbe world over
and to the worlds end,'; may rejoice with
joy unspeakable and ever increasing.
BLESSED are the peace-makers," is just
sentiment announced by highest authority,
and is so just that it may be regarded as an
ordinance of Heaven-a law as truly appli-
cable to States Gan aggregate of persons) as
it is to an individual.
These Central States owe it to their posi-
ton, to the character and rights they have
acquired, and TO the certain, speedy and
profitable development of their natural re-
sources,-to assume and maintain position
of independence,-to be selfpossessed, acting
as mediator between the North and the
South. Then. if they fail in preventing the
threatened disunion, and fail in efforts to re-
construct United States Government such
as our wise, good and great men transmitted
to us, and under which we have prospered
as no other people have ever grown and
prOspered: If they should fail in either of
these most laudable objects. then let them
stand aloof from all "entangling alliances"
bold, upright and Independent,

We lay before the readers of the PATRIOT,
this NOR ming, brief account of the meeting
ct Philadelphia last week. The resolutions
indicate desire on the part Of the people of
that city to do justice to the South, and We
hope their influence will prevail throughout
the State. Worthy of note, in this connec-
ton, is the statement in our telegraph
column, that the entire delegation from the
old Keystone State are disposed to act as be-
comes them in this important crisis The
South asks no concessions; she demands only
her consti tutional rights, and these must be
awarded her. Pennsylvania has it in her
power to do much towards securing her in
them. 1t is with her to say whether she will
exert her influence to that end or not.

The Springfield (IIL) correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial says supporters of Mr..
LINCOLN, formerly wings, have, since the
election, urged him to select as members of
his cabinet, such men as BELL of Tennessee,
GUTHRIE, of Kentucky, GILMER, of n. c.,
and ETHERIDGE, of Tennessee. Mr.. LINCOLN,
he says, appreciated the spirit in which the
recommendations were made, but was un-
able to perceive their reasonableness. Hence,
he desired an opportunity to convey the
views he entertained on the subject, in a
semi official manner, to the interested parties.
The publication of Mr.. BELLS letter to Mr..
BURwELL afforded that opportunity, and he
caused the following queries, heretofore re-
published by Us, to be made in the Spring

"--grace in every step,

With what ineffabie scorn, contempt and
ridieule would the people of Kentucky and
Tennessee have been looked upon, had either
of them arrogated the right to break up this
government? If one State has the right to
secede, so has each other. But, however
many the causes of offence there might be to
the people of these Central States,-if all the
other States surrounding them were harmoni-
Gus and strongly united, these Central States
could not secede. They on the outskirts, for
whose barbOrs, ports, navy and army We
have contributed our millions of dollars,
have no right TO destroy the integrity of the
government-break the Gordon sanitare. But
least democratic, the least republican, the
least free, and the least annoyed, but the
most aristocratic of all these States-has
manifested utter contempt of the solemn
ties of the great covenant between the States;
has treated her sister States with such IL
dignity as precludes her from the sympathy
and commentator of all who are resolved to
maintain selfrespect and entitle themselves
to the regard of an impartial and enlightened
posterity.

this demented career, this sentence will be

CABINET QUERIES. /"


ave see such frequent illusions to a sup
posed purpose on the part of Mr.. Lincoln to
call into his Cabinet two or three Southern
gentlemen from the parties politically OPP
posed TO him, that we are prompted to ask
few questions.
list Is it known that any such gentlemen
of character would accept seat in the Cabi-
net? FEs
s.2d. IF yea-on what terms: Does he sur
render TO Mr Lincoln, or Mr.. Lincoln to him,
on the political differences between them? OF,
do they enter upon the administration in
open opposition to each Other!"
The Commercials correspondent adds that
the tenor of Mr.. BELLS letter demonstrates
differences of opinion between its author and
the President elect of so radical a character,
as to preclude the possibility of an eventual
understanding, without fragrant and dis
creditabIe abandonment of settled conVic-
tons on one of the two sides"
He also says
l understand, that tomorrow mornings
Journal will contain leader on Mr.. Bells
letter, inspired from quarters. and l beg to
direct your attention in advance, TO it.
We had hoped that the views of Mr.. BELL
touching the question of slavery, and the
issues growing out of it, connected with his
views in regard to the sectionalism of the
republican party as expressed in the Senate
in 1865, were sufficient to satisfy all parties
that he could not, even if his Southern
friends desired him, accept place in a re-
publican Cabinet. The fact that he has been
recommended, as stated by the correspondent
above, by supporters of the President elect,
is but another evidence of the failure of ev-
en- moderate republicans to realize the i'm
minence Of the dangers which overhang the
Union, and We seriousness of the revolu-
tionary movements in the South. If they
realized these things, in their true and terri
bic significance, they would feel assured
that no public man in the South, opposed to
republicanism, and entertaining Mr..
BELLS views, who has any character to lose,
could be induced to accept a seat in Mr.. LIN
coins Cabinet, and that it is folly even to
think of such thing. Let Mr. LINCOLN
look amongst republicans for his Cabinet;
and, having selected them, let him, if he de-
sires to preserve the Union, strike the BAN
ner of sectionalism, and aid in securing for
the South guarantees of her constitutional
rights.
