RI subscribers order the discontinuance of
their paper, the publisher may continue to send

a. The Courts have decided that refusal to
take a newspaper or periodical from the Post

payment of all arrearages, is prmd facie evidence
of fraud
g. Subscribers of newspapers or periodicals re

is therefore honest and manly that the
men of Massachusetts,, who do not mean to
be involved in this moral inconsistency, who
do not synlpathize with this false sentiment
and who abhor the murlerous outrages com
mitted by Northern men, melted by this
false teaching, upon the sovereign soil OF
Virginia should make themselves beard in
such meetings as you propose for the Union,
and resolve to hereafter make themselves
felt as voting citizens, by declaring that no

In another place, we publish with pleasure the
letter of Hon. B. F. Hallett, Of Boston, TO the
Haverhill Union meeting. 1t is, indeed, refresh
ing to read such sentiments as it contains coming
as they do, from that infamous State, Massa-
'husetts, submerged, as she is, by the black wave
Of Republicanism. 1t shows that even in Boston
may he found in the Democratic ranks, men Of
sound views, aud who have n proper conception
of the rights of the South, ard who are willing
to concede them. Ii is to be regretted that there
are not more such men--a sufficient number to
have some weight in their elections. In what
party, we would ask in the Northern States, can
we find men expressing such views as Mr.. Hallett,
except in the Democratic party? In what other
party has the South any friends We regret to
say none. In view of this fact is it not strange
that the Southern opposition will not unite with
the Democracy to defeat our worst enemy Their
p"rty is not sufficient to accomplish anything
Of itself, but they might do some good by coop
Grating with the Democratic party.

thus characterizcs what is regarded as the
fundamental question of our politics;
The fundamental, the initial, under
lying question affecting American politics,
then, is simply this: is human StaUery right
or prong?"
The italics are the Tribune's and hence
it would have every locality occupy itself
with this initial question.
Suppose John Adams had stood up in
the 1774 Congress and said this is the
initial question that affects the whole Of our
politics Is human slavery right or wrong ?
where would have been the united resistance
to Great Britain?
Suppose the same test had been made in
1776; where would have been the Declara-
ton of Independence
Suppose this test had been put in the
1877 convention where would have been the
deliberations of that noble body and where
would have been the result of the Constitu
ton

A MOVEMENT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
In the Legislature of Maryland, resolu,
lions have been introduced offering a reward
for the arrest of Thomas Garrett, of Will
mington, Del in order to have him tried on
the charge of stealing slaves from the citi-
zens of Maryland. The resolutions were
discussed and referred to the Committee on
Judiciary. Various propositions fix the re.
ward at from $1,000 to $4,000. This is
just what has lorg been needed. Garrett,
it is well known, is the agent of Cheever's
Underground Railroad in this city. He
made his boast not long since, in Philadel-
phia, that be Lad been instrumental in run
ming off some LOO or 1900 negroes with
in few years. 1t is high time he was
brought to Justice. If Maryland can get
Garrett by offering reward for him why
not try the same plan in order to catch a
few in this city, we'll known to be leaders in
stealing the property of our southern neigh.

PROTECTION RESOLUTIONS OF ALABAMA
The joint resolutions of the Alabama Legisla-
ture, on Federal Relations, have passed the
Senate by vote Of % FOR, to l against them.
These resolutions truly reflect the sentiments Of
great majority of the people of that State, and
will pass the House with the same unanimity they
found in the Senate:
BE Il enacted 5y the Senate and House Of Repre-
ssufotipes of The Stqte Of Alabama in General As
sembly convened. That in the opinion of this
General Assembly, the Territories belonging to
the United States are the common property Of the
people of all the States, and that under the Con.
stitution of the United States the people Of the
saveholding States have the right to hold and
enjoy their property in slaves in said Territories
so long as the said Territories continue such
and that no law enacted by such Territories can
deprive them of that right or impair the same.
SEQ. 2. Be IL further enacted, That with the
right to hold slaves in the common Territories so
conferred by the Constitution, is also conferred
the means necessary to enjoy that right, without
which it would be nugatory and worthless, and
practically cease to exist; hence there is corre-
latve solemn duty imposed on the Federal Gov
ernment to provide all the means necessary for
the protection and enjoyment of that right.
SEC. 3. BE ii further enacted, That the people
of the Southern. States should as one man, de-
nOunce any Administration, and any party, which
denies to them this vital right to protection to
their property in the Territories and that no
man, whatever his anteccdents may be, should be
supported for President of the United States, who
would leave the fundamental right of property
and of its protection dependent upon territorial
legislation
SEC. 4. BE ii further enacted, That the people
of the Southern States should not, either through
political Conventions or otherwise, commit them
selves to the support of any man for President
who does not, in unequivocal terms, concede to
the South the rights claimed in the foregoing reso-
buttons and that it would be dangerous, il
not suicidal, policy for them to submit those vital
rights to the arbtrament of Convention a
m, jrrty of whose members are from the nom
slavehoiding States, without first demanding o
distinct admission of those constitutional rights
as condition precedent to being bound by the
action Of any such Convention.

We published last week, the letter of Willard
1t smacked so much of abolitionism his Southern
friends would not publish it. The New York
Tribune was wonderfully pleased with it, and said
it twill commend him to the gratitude of many
thousands" We give below an extract from
a criticism upon it by that staunch Democratic
paper, the Boston Post:
We therefore object to Mr.. Fillmore's letter.
because the paragraph we have quoted encourages
the idea that the cause of the Constitution de-
mandng the rendition of fugitives from service is
harsh. repusive and unwise. Nothing in that
great compact, made by the men of the revolu-
tionary epoch, can be characterized by such
words. The fugitive slave law of 1850 was and
is constitutional. The Supreme Court Of the
United States has said it The Supreme Court
of Massachusetts has said it Mr.. Fillmores At
torney- General (Crittenden) said it! Why, then,
does he, who has been President of the United
States, thus speak of the approval of constitu-
tiOnal law of Congress, passed by the assembled
wisdom of his cOuntrymen, as painful duty ?"
Is it not just such superficial cant as this that
the patriotism and craftsmanship of the United
States must rebuke it, if it be expected that the
republic can endure? The country had enough
of that sentimental nonsense, fit enough for a
knitting society, but utterly unfit for nation of
brave men, full OF life and hope. and fired with
visions of material grandeur and greatness such
as the world has never seen. If Mr.. Fillmore
would eonccde what the Constitution gives at
every sacrifice" whv does be thus srragn the
humanity of the men who. to secure the passage
of the compromise of 1850, approved and voted
for the fugitive slave law of that year His ex-
preston "paunfaP' does but embody much Of the
argument of the fanatical Republicans against
the South by its use, at this time, and on the
occasion he did, he gives away the whole case he
professed willingness to vindcate and defend

New York Chamber of Commerce, calling
the attention of planters to the great increase

the complaints last year were without found

thorough investigation as the mode of sclling

to compel the commission merchants at

THE SMALL Pox AT LEXINGTON, Va
A letter from Lexington, Va, written on the
26th December, states that the smallpox,
which has prevailed there several days past,
had not at all abated up to the date of the
letter. The writer states that all the stu
dents of Washington College had left for
their respective homes. 1t is, however, sta.
ted that not case had occurred at the Mil.
itary Institute, situated mile or SO from
the town of Lexington. The cadets are all
strictly prohibited from visiting the town,
and it is the opinion Of physicians and 9TH

will not extend to the barracks.
