us, we don't know who is crushed, or
to whom the iron frame belongs. But
if the Pioneer means the North has by
untricndly Legislation, defeated the exc
cution of the fugitive slave law of 1850,
VIC have only to say VIC know of no
instance where carrying out one of the
personal liberty bills, has rendered any
Northern State guilty of rebellion or
notification. Such laws if incon-
sistcnt with the Constitution, will be
declared by the proper tribunal null and
void. No Northern State has yet forci-
bly, resisted the fugitive slave law. No
Northern State has attempted forci-
bly, to execute any of those bills, in
contravcntion of an act Of Congress, or
an intcrposition of Federal authority.
Throughout the eighteen free States,
50 scotfcd at by the Pioneer for their
manly regard for human freedom, that
editor is powcrlcss to point to q single
instance where there has been a con-
fict between the State and Federal au.
thorities.
We arc tired of hearing this constant
ccnsurc of the North, this adulation
of everything Southern. The history
of the government shows that until
now, the South have had control. The
| North have made concession after con.
c~cssion.
This Soutl, Carolina move is certain.
~ the boldcst attempt yet cssaycd to
obtain still further advantages for the
slave power. Long they struggled for
the balance of power in the Senate.
That is hopclessly lost, since Kansas
must come in as IL Free State.
There is a North, and she is now
thoroughly aware of her majesty and
strength. She can well afford to be
,nagnanimous. While ready to ron.
ccdc much and to do everything hon
orablc, to maintain peace and harmony,
willing to make sacrifices to preserve
and pcrpctuatc the Union through all
time, yet VIC protest against Southern
States bullying the North, or Northern
Editors in their zeal to defend the ini-
quitics of the present administration,
coolly jEtitying treason, and palliating
rcbclliA by unfoundcd attacks upon
free sestes.

SLxIauIxo UxpER DiFvicULriEs.-During the
past week the ground in this vicinity has been
covered with snow to the depth Of Ave or six
inches. We confess that We have been consider
ably amused at the attempts Of certain parties to
participate in an imitation down-cast sleigh-ride.
On Sunday morning last some Of our " bloods"
about town set themselves about collecting the
necessary outfit for this rare but chilling sport.
A sled, q primitive affair which had been standing
for years in a corner Of the ssatie-yard was soon
forthcoming, a span Of donkeys obtained, but 10 +!
the great disideratum, TIRE BELLS, could not be OBJ
tanned. 4 dcputation was dispatched to search
for tho indispensable articles, who reported - the
Jesuit Of their labors that they had obtained two
dinner-bells, one cow-bell and a ~gridiron, with
which substitute the party expressed much salts
faction. Instead Of attaching these articles to the
donkcys which drew the sleigh, they were vio-
lently rung by the partyin the sleigh. Not the least
amusing feature Of the affair was the a~ntipathy OK
hibited by some who hadn't o sleigh-through
envy, We suppose by casting . pAxrEn upon the
spirits of the sIeigh-p"rty in the shape Of snow
balls. Notwithstanding this, and the complaint
Of n certain gentleman that every SNOWFALL hit his
EARS, the party seemed to be much pleased with
their ride.

in both branches, with very large number of
military men from all sections of the state.

asm, and Immediately after he had closed, Mr..
Gould of Thomaston, one of the leading dem
ocrats OF the house, introduced a resolution
pledging the entire resources of the state to
the vigorous support of the federal authority.
The legislature signified unanimous support
of the resolve, by rising as one man.
The governors address was referred to a
joint select co,amiltee, and they will report
the requisite measures tomorrow, embracing
as the principal points the raising of ten regi-
ments Of troops and the appropriation of a
million of dollars to fit them out. Liberal pro-
