Now, we wish to call attention to a fact we alluded to last week, in some comments upon the article of the Washington Union, of whose compilation of the toregoing resolutions we have availed ourselves. The compromise inrclationto Texas is not the Missouri Compromise. ' The Missouri Compromise ordains that in all of the Louisiana Territory above 36 (leg. 39 inin., slavery " shail be and is hereby forever prohibit ed." It secured for freedom a far larger amount of the Territory than it gave to slavery. It put an end to slavery in tnat portion ot it at once, and prohibited it forever, ' . But the Texas compromise secured for Free dom only one-tenth of the territory of Texas and that, only in a contingency. It does not prohibit slavery now, or at a future period, in any portion o territory lyin-r uortli of 36 d;g 3 J una. Its .language is remarkable " And in such STATE or STATES as may be formed out of said territory, north of said Mis souri compromise line, slavery or involuntary servitude (except for crime) shall be prohibited." The provision, on its very face, bears themarks of gross carelessness, or a deliberate design to impose upon the opponents of slavery. It does not attempt to do what is practicable exclude slavery, at once and forever, from this piece of territory norm ot ao deg. 3L) mm., but it does pretend to do what every one of its projectors and leading supporters believed," and yet believes, is utterly impracticable prohibit slavery ra a sow- reign State. - It leaves the territory open to the incursions ot slavery. Slaveholders may settle there, and constitute the majority of the population; and there is nothing in the precious com promise to prevent them. When their numbers shall be sufficient, they may for a Constitution, containing no allusion to slavery, and demand admission into the Union. Accordiug to the terms of the Federal Constitution, Congiess, finding nothing in the form of eovernment of the new State repugnant to the Constitution, or a republican form of govornment, will accede to tne demand. It becomes a member of our Union, and forthwith c ills a Convention to mike such an alteration in har Constitution as shall secure the system of slavery against ab-ilition, except by a Convention ot the People. What becomes of your beautiful compromise? " What can it ac complish T It says slavery shall be prohibited in that State; but Where is the power of Congress to interfere with State legislation, when a State has assumed the right of membership of this Union, standing upon an equal footing with the other States? And, should a case be made so as to present the question to tbe Supreme Court, does any one irn igine that it would recognise the principle that Congress may legislate for the internal concerns of a State, in advance of its in stitution? Would it not see, that if Congress could do this on one point, it could do it upon all, and thus frame a complete code of law's for all hi internal affairs of a State, when it should be farmed ?

It is true that slavery is nominally prohibited in the territory by the law3 ot Mexico, but it is scarcely populated, and while it remains under the dominion of that Government will possess but few or no inducements for slaves to abscond from the contiguous States. Could it be obtained, and incorporated into the Union as a slave country, the acquisition would be highly important to the South, both in a political and pecuniary point of view. It would e-ventually give the South political ascendency in the Federal Government, and an outlet for slavery which would increase its extent and value to al most an incalculable degree. The North being aware of this, and being prompted by political considerations to prevent the accumulation of power by the bouth, and being opposed from principle to the further extension of slaverv: are. prepared and determined to resist by all tbe con stitutional means within their power. No treaty wiui iYiexico, euiDracing any acquisition of territory, according to the present aspect and position of the question, can pass the ordeal of the Senate. Why, then, is a war of conquest being prosecuted, when the conquest sought to be made threatens to disturb the peace and harmony of the Union. .. From the Marion (Ala.) News. THE DUTY OF THE SOUTH. ' If the free States have resolved and determined that the Smve States shall not enjoy equal rights and privileges with themselves in any new territo ry mat may oe nereatter acquired by the United States, we may as well understand it one time as another; nay, we would say, the sooner the bet ter. , When this question is acted on hv Con gress, if it be determined against the slaveholding States, it will not take a prophet to tell the imme" diate consequence ot such rashness. Disunion, immediate, inevitable disunion, will be the con sequence. Will the wild and reckless fanaticism of our Northern bretheren bring this great; glori ous, and happy Union to such an end ? God for bid, lhe South has but one course to adoot: and that is, for her members in Congress, as one man, both Whig and democrat, to say. to the members from the free States, who may be dis posed to press tins question upon us, that we have not one inch to yield; that we are in the lust ditch, and there intend to remain. We should meet the question at once with a manly and decisive determination. Supiness and apathy will not do. It will only render us weak and help less; and anv further concession or compromise will prove us recreant to our dearest rights and interests. Liberty Lfij'slalivc Caucus.

Allow me to present to your readers the fol lowing interesting case, which came under my own personal observation. ' ' About three months ago, a very intelligent and fine looking woman a mother came to me in the. greatest distress to seek my aid and counsel. She had two daughters living in a slave State, the one twelve and the other fifteen years of age, and she has received a letter, a tern days before, from the man, if man he can be called, who claimed dominion over the.n, that unless she would raise four hundred dollars in two months, he would sell them to be taken to Louisiana. Sae herselt was free and was living in a very respectable family in this city; but her daughters were born when she ;? T" JVo More Territory. A great clamor has been raised of late, among the Whigs, to make this the rallying point for the party. "JVo more territory, free or slave," u the cry. Before we give an echo to it, we want to know the why of this new issue. Will any Whig politician tell us? A question of vast moment is already before lhe country, embodied in the Wilmot proviso--a question on whkm the Whigs and Democrats at the South are united. Shoulder to shoulder they will meet the entire anti- slavery forces of the North, at the next Congress, on ihe question shall we have any more Slave Territory? Here must be tbe battle-ground between Slavery and Freedom during the next session , Here all anti-slavery men can unite. Now, in all candor and ki idness, we want to know why substitute this issue, for another vastly less favorable to the interests of freedom ? ; la it for the purpose of retaining in the ranks of "the True Liberty Party," all the allies of tbe South who are determined to extend their system of human bondage over all the the conquered fields of Mexico ? If so, how much sincerity has there been in the professed hostility to slavery, of which the Whigs claim to have as much as any body ?. Is it to avoid the responsibility of manfully conter. Jing for the right, on the ground of the - Wilmot Proviso? c If so where is the ardent attachment to the principles of that Pioviso, of which we have heard so much within the last year? : ' "I pause for a reply." - early the next week I sent them all on to Boston as the mother could not believe that she could be safe in this city of " brotherly love," nor even in this State of William Penn.

After a considerable time I succeeded, and gave him your letter. I told him my object and plans. He quite discouraged me from the undertaking, saying that it would be attended with aoreat manv difficulties and dangers. " However, I determined to go, and early next morning started on foot. Before night, I got about thirty or thirty-five miles, I cannot tell exactly, to within about three miles of the house of my old master, where my children were. ; I stayed there in the woods that night, and the; next day I contrived to see mv sister-in-law, who lived at no great distance, that she might see a colored man, named- , who, i Knew, would help me m my object ; and also tell my children that I was comma- afier them but too charge them most strictly not to speak of h ioany one. ' one went to the house where the children were, and got so frightened that she told them I was in the neighborhood. The next day she came back to the woods, where I had still continued, and told me what in her fright she had done. ' "As I had always, whenever I had gone into the neighborhood - before; visited my children, I knew it would excite suspicion if I did not go now ; so I went directly to the house, and saw the old man and his wife, and my children. This was Friday. I stayed thereon Saturday and Sunday, til) Monday evening ; cooked and washed for them, and then bid my. children goodbye, as if I should never see them again; for I told " master" that I could not raise the money. After leaving them, J stayed in the woods round about for three days, in hopes of seeing that colored man I before spoke of, who would help me. But not being able to see him, I walked back a- gain the thirty-five miles to r-, to see again the gentleman to whom you gave me a letter. I told him that if I could get a carriage with a faithful driver, I could get my children; that I knew such a one in the place, if 1 could get the money to piy him. Accordingly, he gave me eight dol-l tars on your account. The next day I enirao-ed my carriage, and we got down that evening about -v . i . . . " . O o cloct, 10 within three miles of the house. I told the driver that I did not think it would be safe for him t- go any farther, bet that if he would stay there, and wait for' me till break of day, I would go on, and that if I did not return then, he might drive back. ? I walked on and trot to the house, I should think, about eleven o'clock. As I came near to it, the two dogs began to bark furiously; I stopped a moment. "and hid behind the fence, and saw " master" get up and open the window, and look out. Not seeing anythin, he shut down the window. I waited'till I thou'-rht The dogs other like visionaries.

The October number of the American Missionary has come to hand, bringing intelligence deeply afflictive to all the friends of the mission at Kaw-Mendi. Mr, Thomas Garrick, who went from Philadelphia last winter, and joined Air. Raymond's mission, and from whose valuable life I had hoped for much good to that dark land, is tuddenly removed by death! Mr. Raymond is again left alone with all the labors and responsibilities of the mission upon him. The country all around him is involved in the horrors of war. All the villages in the vicinity are consumed, by the war-demon. The mission has boldly maintained anti-slavery and peace principles amidst the general rage, and the mission village alone is permitted to stand, "a column amidst a scene of ruins." Mr Raymond has a school of 105 children under his care. He must instruct and provide for them, or see them turned out houseless orphans, to be devoured by the ravages of war. This he cannot do ; humanity forbids it. the mission is doing vast good. All parties around him have erfect confidence in Mr. Raymond, and often put their children and goods under his care, that his name may be a shield to them from the devouring sword. Will not the friends of a mission planted on such principles, 'and exerting an influence so salutary on the destinies of Africa, remember iVir. Raymond in a way that will hold up his hands in this the day of his trial ? If any friends will entrust to me their contributions within ten days, I will see that it is immediately forwarded to the missionary. -, E.

Many are kept from uniting with the Liberty Party although they are convinced that its principles are right, because it is so unpopular and has so much said against it. Others, in many respects hon.-st, hearing their leaders saying so much against it, and confident ly affirming that no good can ever come out of it, im bibe prejudices against the party, and thus are kept trom a lull and fair investigation of its principles, and of course cannot join it. Now to those who are " Is raelites indeed, in whom is no guile." and really be lieve no good can come out of the Liberty Party, I would say "come and sef." You may be as truly mistaken and as happily disappointed as was Nathan- ael. Had von lived in the tune of the desniaed Nm. . rene you would have heard far more said, by leading men too, rulers, lawyers and priests, against him, than you now hear against this so much despised party. And yet tint same despised person brought salvation to a lost world, and delivered millions from the bon dage of sin; and so will this game party yet deliver the millions of our despised fellow men from their chains and restore them to their heaven born fights. All true reforms are unpopular and are cried down by the influential men of the world. All reformers must expect to meet with opposition.

'1 hey are the men who have publicly heaped nil manlier of abuse on the Liberty partyv And now they come fawning around us, saying we are your friends, come fet us unite and overthrow slavery with one effort." But we dare not trust them, especially when they say to rra "come give up your one-ideaism your ultra track exclusive course." What is this but asking us to give up our principles?. We once adopted the course of questioning men on their principles, and having received satisfactory answers, gave them our suffrage. But what was the result? Why, men who made the fairest promises before eIection,afterwards, in almost every instance, violated their artislavery principles and promises, before they would depart from the course their party pursued. But one way was left for us. This was adopted, and until we are convinced that some other way is better, we intend to pursue it." But it seems to me folly to talk about such a union. There is no intermediate step between the Liberty party and either of the other two parties. , We must either give up our principles or they must their e to form a union VVe cannot give up our principles; and the true anti-slavery men of the other parties will without hesitation come over and join us as soon as thy fully comprehend our position. OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. : I shall not attempt to speculate about who the next man shall be to fill the chief office of our nation, but I do not hesitate to give as my opinion that he will be placed in office by the Democratic party. It appears tome that there can be no doubt of this to one who takes an impartial view of the position of all the parties at the present time. No union of parties can be effected, at least before the next Presidential election. It is useless to attempt such a thing. So many have already been drawn off from the Whig party that it probably could not bring into tbe field so large a force as the Democratic party. It was defeated at the last Presidential election in a fair open field fight, with their strongest man for its leader. It is now comparatively weaker than it was then. Should they run the same candidate again, there are many who would not vote for him. Great numbers of the party have pledged themselves not to vote for ano ther slaveholder. It is true that a large number would perjure themselves and vote with the party should they nominate a slaveholder, yet quite a respectable portion,! am persuaded, would not do it. Sshould the party put up a northern man, the southern portion would go over to the Democratic party. So that which way soever the party turns, it must meet with defeat. The Democratic party will still bow down and worship Baal or any other god or demon to keep the ascendency. They will either nominate a Southern man or a Northern man with Southern principles, one whom the South can trost, and as a party will vote for him without hurting their consciences. We cannot look for anything better from such a source. The Liberty party will have a very large accession to its numbers, yet we cannot suppose that it will be able to elect its candidate at lhe next election. " -. . : THE END OP THE WHIG PARTY. " The Whig party, as such, will never elect another candidate, to fill the office of President. I have already shown why it must be defeated at the next election. Larjje numbers will then go over to the Liberty Party The anti-slavery spirit will so prevail that it will con stantly grow weaker and weaker, so that there can be no possible ground for it to hope to succeed afkr the next e.ection. A struggle will be made by some of the loading men to merge it into a Northern party But should this succeed, it must end the Whig Party. But it is hardly within the bounds of possibilities for such a party to succeed. It is more likely that after a few futile efforts to that effect, the party will generally join the Liberty paty.
