 HE VoIcE OF THE WHANGDoopLE IN CoNGREss.-The following Is a specimen of opposition patriotism in the House of Rep- resentatives. It is the language of Mir. Eth ridge of Tennessee, relative to the proposed afiiliation of the southern opposition with the democracy for the election of a speak CT. Are we to understand that this is to be the general sentiment of that conservative constitutional party of which our know nothing contemporaries are accustomed to speak? Mir. Ethridge of Tennessee, de- nounced the proposition in the strongest terms, and contended that the republican party, by their record, was the most eco- nomical, national and conservative of tho two great parties in the country; the admin istration party, in spite of Mir. Buchanan, was the most corrupt and imbecile that ever existed since the formation of the gov ernmeAt-that their pretensions of love for the Union were all mere sunshine, and ought not to be needed. His remarks were en- thusiastically receivsd.-Exchaage.

HoN. WM. ETHERIDGE-Th Washing ton correspondent of one of the Philadel- phla papers tells what he calls "charac- l telstlc" anecdote of Mir. Etheridge. As we find the opposition papers disposed to cir culate 1t we will aid them in doing so, that the Tennessee public may better understand the taste and peculiar order of accomplish ments which so distinguishes @ one of their representatives.
 Mir. Etheridge, on coming to the hall of the house, on Tuesday, was approached by Mir. Wright, the present doorkeeper, with congratulation on his return here as mem. Der, and with expressions of hope that he would unite..with the democrats to preserve the Union and save the country. Mir.

AT HIS GRAVE.

Extract from a letter of Thaddeus HYATT
1t is something to have Cooked into the eyes oil
John Brown !" Ii is something to have Cooked
into the eyes" of his noble family -illustrious sur.
vivors of an illustrious sire ! Charlestown has
not put out the hero his fires still live and burn
in his descendants, burn in the s~eething blood Of
the third generation.
"Pll stab him !" l was startled at these words
as they fell from ste lips of a robust little boy,
John Browns grandeur, child Of John Brown, Jr.
The child was playing on the green sward before
the cabin on the mountain. 1t was a bright morn
ing after my arrival among the AdiroEdacks.
Not dreaming of what was passing in the mind of
the young p%rattlOr, 1 carelessly observed, ooh
no, my little boy you wouldn't stab any one,
would you" With a solid and defiant air, that
bespoke his inherited blood, and with no wavering
of purpose in his mien, he replied eyes, I would
stab them if they hurt my grandfather % Behold,
oh Virginia !! Tho blood Of the martyr is al
ready bearingi its Fruit In the future of the third
generation see God the Avenger
Eight hundred persons assembled around the
grave of John Brown on Independence Day; and,
standing upon the great rock that marks his grave,
the prophets of a fiery dispensation re-affrmed
his principles &! Charlestown throttles in vain
God and the Adirondacks still stand. John Brown
has passed from earth into the everlasting heav.
ems, but the mantle of Elijah remains. And what
though the heart of the prophet lies stilled amid
the shadows of these mountains, and cold and
puleless forever a myriad still survive him ;
still left, still loving warm and throbbing his
hear beats perpetuating taught by his example
that life's great end is life; taught by his example
that he only lives to self who truly dies taught
by his example how even a felon's fate and a fell
on's scaffold may become irradiate with ligh. su-

REPORT0F ANTI-SLAVERY CONVENTION
AT MENDOZA, ILLINOIS.

In accordance with previous announcement, the
friends of the Slave met in Convention in Music
Hall, in the town of Mendoza, Lasalle County,
Illinois, on Saturday evening Nov. l0lh, 1860;
and continued their meetings through the Cay and
evening of the llth.
The meeting was organized by the election Of
Mr.. j. Pilkington of Mendoza, President; DR..
Wiley of Earlville, Vice President; and G.. Tom
linson of Magnolia, Secretary.
G. B.. Campbell, by request, opened the meeting
with a song accompanied by music on the melo-
deon.
Parker Pillsbury then took the stand, and in a
brief but forcible manner, argued the necessity of
continued anti-slayery effort; showing that the
triumph of the Republican party had not rendered
such meetings as the one we are now holding,
useless; but on the contrary, of absolute necessity.
Mr.. p. was followed by Mr.. L. X. Brown, OF
this State, in a very appropriate discourse.
Adjourned.
SUNDAY MORNING, Nov. llth.-Mr. G. B. Camp
bell of Iowa, spoke al some length, enforcing, by
facts drawn from various sources, the view thai
slavery must be abolished at no very distant day
by peaceable means, or thatit will ultimately &C
down in Slood.
The following propositions submitted by Mr.
Pillsbury, and supported in an able speech, elici
ted considerable discussion; the opposition being
mainly confined to the 3rd aud 4th propositions,
Proposition lst. That American Slavery is moi
only a great social, pocuniary and political evil,
but also a henious sin and crime against God and
Humanity.
End. That Shareholders, as such, have no rights
more than other thieves and robbers, which any
human being is bound to respect; and the fact
their oulrages are perpetrated in the name OF Gov
eminent, does not change their character.
Ord. That a Confederation and Union, under
which thirty-three States perpetrato piracy on sea,
and robbery on land, is as much greater crime
than thirty-three individuaiS committing such out
RACES, as is the greatness of the power aud extent
of the crimes and oruelties committed.
4th, That the American Union is, therefore, an
iLDmoraliiy that should never have been formed,
and certainly should not longer be continued.
9th. That since the Shareholders themselves de-
clare, and every sensible man knows, that Slavery
wholly upon that Union for its perpetuity,
it becomes the imperative duty of the non-slave-
States, in the exercise Of State sovereign

9th. That the constitution and laws of Illinois,
as they relate to the people Of color, are cruel and
proscriptive in the extreme, q scandal to humani-
ty, and a disgrace to civilization.

EQUAL SUFFRAGE DEFEATED.

The late election, so far as the State of New
York is concerned, has features of ENCOURAGEMENT
as well as the opposite. The disposition made Of
the question of Equal Suffrage was inconsistent
with every profession and principle of the tri-
mphant part, and must surprise the enemies of
equal rights as much as it certainly disappoints
the expectations Of the colored citizens, who sup
posed that this constitutional brand of inferiorjtv
(by which colored men must have two hundred
and fifty dollars Of real property before they can
vote, while all others vote on their simple man
hood) would DO erased from the organic law, which
it has so long disgraced, simultaneously with the
triumph of the great Republican party. All par
ties had reason to believe this be would done, if
the State were not carried for Fusion or The sla.
very party. 1t would have been done had faith in
its principles equalled the declarations Of the
members of the Republican party. They profess
ed to believe in the Declaration of American indie
pendence, and inserted the fundamental principle
of equality which it contains, into their platform
Of principles at Chicago, but deserted that Lrinci-
PIE at the first moment they were called upon to
give it life and form in the fundamental law of the
State. Had the Republican party been as true to
the sacred cause Of liberty and equality, as the
Democratic party always proves itself to slavery
and oppression, the invidiOus and od;ous dIscriu-
ination against our equal citizenship would have
been blOtted out, and the eolOred voters of the
State would have bad some reason for the enthu-
siasm with which they have shouted their praises
OF the Republican party. While the Democrats at
the polls never failed to accompany their State and
national tickets with one against the nronnsad
amendment, Ropublicans-mauy of them-refused
to touch a ticket in favor Of the amendment,
and this, too, while white men, native and foreign,
