l owe it to myself, | owe it 10 truth,
owe it to the subject, to state that no earth
ly power could induce me to vote for a
specific measure for the introduction of sla-
very where it had not before existed, either
south or north of that line. Coming as |
do from slave state, it is my solemn, we'll
matured determination that no power--no
earthly power-shall compel me TO vote for
the positive introduction of slavery either
south or north of that line. Sir, while you
reproach, and justly, too, our British ances-
tors for the introduction of this institution
upon the continent of America, am, for
one, unwilling that the posterity of the
present inhabitants of California and New
Mexico shall reproach US for doing Just
what we reproach Great Brittian for doing
to US. If the citizens of those territories
chose TO establish slavery, am for admit
ting them with such provisions in their con-
stitutions but then, it will be their own
work. and not ours, and their posterity will
have to reproach them, and not us, for
forming constitutions allowing the institution
of slavery to exist among them.-Henyy

and elsewhere, claiming to be republicans,
who were the former admirers of the great
statesman, whose principles they now re-
pudiatc.

ONE BRAVE WoRp.--Gen. Dix of New
York, shows good pluck. He is Secretary
of the Treasury, and on the 29th ult. sent
TO Hemphill Jones, special agent Of his de-
partment at New Orleans. the following
dispatch, for the arrest of the notorious
traitor Capt. Brushwood -
"Tell Lieut. Caldwell to arrest Capt.
Brushwood, assume the command of the
cutter McClelland, and obey orders gave
through you. If Capt. Brushwood, after
arrest, undertakes TO interfere with the COM
mand Of the cutter, Lieut.. Caldwell will
consider him a mulineer and treat him ac-
cordingly. II any one attempts to haul
down the American flag, shoot him on the
spot
That has the genuine ring in it. If the
president had small infusion of the Jack
sonian spirit and bis administration had met
the rebellion in this decisive way from the
start, it would never have attained its pres
ent formidable proportions in all probability.
The dispatch of Gen. Dix failed of its
object because it was stopped at Monigom-
cry, Ala, by the Governor Of that empire,
and was sent by him TO the governor of
Louisiana. The consequence was The trait
or Brushwood was not arrested and the cut
ter fell into the hands of the rebels. The
whole affair is striking illustration of the
peculiar code of honor in vogue at the South.

WHY DON'T THE yEHoID-
EMS CRUSH SECESSIONg

1t seems TO me very strange that the mass
OF the people in the Southern States do no,
have an adequate idea of their own power
and interests. If they had, they would
crush secession in week. A large ma
Jorlty OF the people in those States are not
Shareholders. Their interests are identical
with those of the people of the Free States
SO TAR as the extension of Slavery is con-
cerned. According to the last Gems us f1ssol
the Tree population of Virginia is ,097 1913.
Inc number of shareholders does not. I
presume, exceed 10000. On 1850 il was

Coon News FROM EURopE.-The
press OF France and England, and the ex-
preston of the leading men of those coun-
tries, has been very decided against the
Shareholders OF, the South, for trying to
build up slavery by secession, though if the
southerners were to become independent
and establish the free trade principle, that
would of course be favorably received.
But the best news by the last arrival is that
relative to the Canadian extradition case.
Our readers are aware of course that one
Anderson, slave, escaped some time since
from Missouri, in doing which he was OBJ
liged or at least did kill stakeholder n
performance which most men would do n,
any time, if they had no other resource. TO
gain the liberty Of owning themselves. and
to the proceeds of their own toll. The
Missouri agents claimed Anderson of
the Canadian authorities, on the ground
that he had committed the crime of murder
and that he should be delivered up under
the provisions of the extradition treaty
The case has been tossed about in the
courts OF Canada, till finally decision was
rendered in behalf Of the shareholders. A.
is usual in the States. But an appeal was
made to the court of error in England,
which court has issued writ of habeas cor-
pus for Anderson, who will now be taken
TO London. The comments of the English
press are very decided. The London Times
