Mr.. EDIToR-I was present at the Demo

Monday evening, and had the MULTIPLICATION
of listening to a speech delivered by E. II.
Stiles, Esq, of this city. was sorry to see
the young orator, voluntarily, become the
falsifer of history. This is hard charge to
make, and especially is it a hard charge for
me to make, for am a personal friend of
Mr.. Stiles; but then feel it my duty to I'M
deceive those whom he, in his reckessness
has deceived. Virginia, in her deed Of ces-
sion of the Northwest Territories to the Fed
eral Congress, had no proviso that slavery
should be excluded from the said territory.
Here are the provisos, and the only ones
say. upon condition that the territory so
ceedel shall be laid out and formed into States
containing suitable extent of territory, not
less than one thousand nor more than one
thousand and fifty niles square, or as near
thereto as circumstance will admit; and that
the States so formed shall be distinct Repu5-
lican States, and admitted members of the
Federal Union: having the same rights of
sovereignty, freedom and independence, as
the other States" ..

thus recognize the latter as the standard for
excellence, and showing the strong hold they
have upon the public confidence. 1t is a
well-known fact that while most of these
scales have, after more or less trial, past
mainly out of use, Fairbanks have gone
steadily forward, increasing in public favor
