If this party is to be judged by its declarations by the speeches of iu leading men and the terms of its 'deliberate resolutions -then sectionalism wa never more bold and dangerous.

This fact is important th making a comparison between thi and other parts of the South, for where the number of slave is much less than the whites, they are in the enjoyment of greater liberty and suffer less hardships than in those regions here the slave population is more dense.

As I have mingled with the citizens of this State, visited them in their homes, and observed their intercourse with their servants, and conversed with master and slave, I have uertainly had a fair chance, to learn something. And the most interesting of these things may be reduced to two point. i First the tendency toward emancipation sentiments among the holder of slaves and secondly, the condition of the slaves themselves. The tendency toward a readiness to emancipate I infer from repeated expression in various circles. Men are learning by that best of teachers, experience, that free labor would be more profitable to them to-day than slave labor that the actual cost of managing their plantations and getting off the crop of whatever kind it may lie, would be less and the receipts Kentucky were worked as Ohio is am ms the river.

There is no increasing conviction that siaveholding is wrong. On the contrary, it is true here, as it is at the North, that the effect of all the abolition agitation has been to convince men that slavery is tolerated by the word of God. More thun this, I have heard large slave holders regretting with deep feeling that the abolition movement at the North had prostrated all the movements toward emancipation that promised twentv vears ago to make It had not been acted on at last accounts. An attack, was made last night by a mob on the new quarantine buildings, at Seguine's Point, Staten Island. Fire arms were freely used, and it is reported that several of the po nce guard were killed, and the buildings fired.

The sheriff had ordered out the military and ity, anxiety, and depression than the laborer ea a farm in the Free States. All thi we assert to be the fact, while we feel a slaveholder here feel, that slavery is a great evil th removal of which is earnestly to be desired. It i liable to awful abuse, the system itself is on. which will yield to the principle of sound political economy and the gospel between which (political ed nomy and the gospel) there is much closer affinity than Christiana or statesmen an wont to think. But I shall weary you with these details and reflections.

They all tend to one point that the best friends of the colored race are here In th midt of them, ameliorating their present condition and preparmg them and the land for emancipation and free labor. The Lord hasten it in his own good time. Ieexxcs. Attorney-General Thomas D. Eliot, of N.

Bedford. The following from the Boston Post's report of the proceedings will give our readers an idea of the happy state of feeling that prevailed The chair stated that there was a colored lady in the hall who had been emancipated from slavery by her master, and had in turn emancipated her sister at a cost of 1100. She was now laboring to purchase the freedom of her mother, and had obtained funds sufficient to within $150. The chair said that she came endorsed by Rev. Mr.

Higginson, and an opportunity would now be afforded to delegates to do something besides voting for anti-slavery. Mr. S. P. Hanscom moved that the galleries be allowed to take part.

Messrs. Ilrainard, of Boston, French, of New Bedford, Hanscom, of Hoxbury, XValker, of Brookfield, and Wright, of Williamstown, were appointed a committee to collect contributions. Mr. Hanscom, who was evidently unwell, begged to be excused. Velorus Taft "Oh! you're well enough; you've been lobbying these two days." Mr.

The Boston Post on Monday appeared in a new and beautiful typographical dress, from the Foundry of Phelps Dalton, and greatly enlarged. The Post has always been elegantly printed, and is now the handsomest as it is the best paper printed in Boston. The Post wa started in 1831, and is now five time the size of the original sheet, which measured but 1 1 by 17 inches. We are gratified to witness the large and increasing measure of prosperity enjoyed by this excellent democratic, commercial and new journal. It is eminently deserved.

The country at large have been advised through the mail and by tclegTaph of a 1 studied determination on the part of those deluded citizen of Kansas who still madly cling to the so-called Topeka Constitution to Jake no part in the pending election contest in that Ter- i ritory. Friend of law and order, men who are actuated by the purest and most patriotic motives, having in vain urged them to vote for Delegates to a Convention to frame a State Con- stitution, there is nothing left but to express re- gret for their folly, and to leave them to the consequence which are likely to follow their mischievous, if not dangerous obstinacy. The position of the democratic party, and, it is scarcely necessary to add, the position of the Administration, in regard to existing difKcul- 1 ties in Kansas, cannot be misunderstood. It is that the people of the Territory have the right to settle the character of their institutions. If i a considerable or inconsiderable portion of their number conceive that they can impair and ultimately destroy that right by creating ditficul- ties and disturbances, or by taking no part in the elections, they labor under an error of which they cannot be too soon disabused for the de- mocratic, conservative portion of the country 1 Tk.

Mr. Gooch moved that the question be taken in five minutes. Mr.

So the Northern abolition movement has been the means of concentrating all men of all parties into one phalanx of opposing forceto this foreign Admitting, slavery tobe a stupendous evil, for the removal of which all good men should labor and pray, it still remains deplorably true, that its enemies have perpetuated it indefinitely by tfjeir indiscretion and violence. They have made pro-slavery men out of thousands who were once emancipationists they have driven Jff thousands of anti-slavery men who are now compelled to disavow all affinity, with their infidelity, and have thus in twenty-five- years, done more to perpetuate slavery than they can undo in a century to come. Earnestly, and with every beat of my heart, desiring to see the time when every man that lives may be free, nevertheless with dying breath, if I had but one.

more line to write and one more breath to draw, I would with all my soul protest against the manner of this movement. It ha not been based on the Scriptures, nor carried on in the spirit of the gospel, nor been pervaded with sound philosophy, and therefore it has not been fruitful of good, but evil only. It ha not helped the slave nor the master.

We believe we are not too premature in announcing this morning that Colonel Cumming, of Missouri, has been aripointcd Governor of Utah, and that he intends to remove his family thither with the view of making that Territory his permanent residence. CoL Cumming is a gentleman of tried official integrity and of large experience in frontier life.

Possessing great personal courage, of a conciliatory nature, yet prompt and energetic in the discharge of duty, he will bring to the important responsibilities which he has assumed the most essential qualities tor success in the delicate, and even dangerous, mission which has been confided to him. The difficulties to be encountered in Utah, are more numerous and complicated than is now generally supposed. Among them may be incidentally mentioned that Brigham Young claim a title to all the land in the Territory, and has never recognised the United States survey. None of his followers have purchased lands in accordance with our laws. Hence, one of the delicate duties of the Federal Courts of that Territory will be to establish and maintain tho right of those who may hereafter rmr- said, to-day, to cause thi determination.

The Richmond Enquirer thinks, if in point of attachment to the institutions of the whole country there is precedence to be given, it should be conceded to the Northern rather than to the Southern Democracy.

It is true," adds the Enquirer, there are thousands in the non-slaveholding State 'who were once associated with the Democratic party, but are now given over to the infamy of Abolitionism. But those who still stand firmly by the Constitution and the Union are as the genuine metal separated from the dross, uncorrupted and incorruptible.
