This was for the people to do, but to no great extent was it done. There wns a meeting in I'mieni! Hull, but il wus diflicult to find nny one to preside. At Inst, Samuel U.

If you see mini giving puiMUi to bis child, uud you rcluso to n.lrr li re, its blood will be reipiired nt your bnnils you who nro to your poliliccl par- tics are guilty, uud the blood of the slave is in your skirts. Wu want new words lo arouse you In sense of your piil', us com mon language Inns to convey nn nileiputto idea of Ihu enormity of your guilt. If ou iiuike me believe that two and three nitiku four, I will hold it ns Into although I now believe that two nnd two make four. Shivery is not Southern, hut National institution, it exists by direct national legislation. In supporting it, wo become involved in its guilt, 1 will try to prove it.

Tim Banking institution is Slate institution there me counties or largo sections without nny Hank. II Virginia owes II debt uud thn I. nited Slates becomes responsible lor her debt; then il is not the Statu of Virginia which wus previously in debt, oud contract ed that debt, independent nf the L'nited States? Again, Slavery exists in the Capital, nnd in other Districts of lliu S. for which Ihey legislate therefore, no other iw can it. It exists in the 1 en Ho nes liy nited fatnte law ami no other.

Suppose 1 luruish a saihllu mid bndlu to man, knowing that he designs to steal a horse, or i even tidl him where be can find a saddle nnd bridle for that purpose, nm I not guilty of the same crime? Most sanely. So it is with any combination of llien who aid to hold or return tliu blavo! Southern States are bound together.

Northern States are also bound. Hi lore tho Federal compacts, it was Statu Institution, but it was then muds a hunting ground to bunt men, women nnd children, by human ltluod-liounds! When tho great Magyar, (jencrid Kossuth, conies here, bo is free, and so nro the Irish, and nil other niitious, except a certain portion of our own citizens, viz "One lor every six." Cannila is no paitiicr lo this horrid robbery, but New York is. Is tho Fugitive Slave Act Stnto Law? Not lit all. It is an Act of the L'nited States every citizen is a lifo gnnrd for Slavery, or blave claimants. The government is the organized force of the Stale; tbu majority nro ruled by tho minority.

Tbu United States nriny is kept up nt mi expense of 10,000,000 annually, for the purpose of keeping tlavcs in liieir chains. Wu havo the same reiisun lev standing in my that Louis Napoleon has. When Nut. Turner rose and struck lor Liberty, but lor tho in my he and his companions would have been lice. His name will go down to posterity, ns greater than Washington, lie wns a Christian.

Southerners do not wantn dissolution of the Union; see how they acted when John (). Adams introduced a petition for ii; a member liuni I null Carolina wanted him evpelled, yet Sonlh Carolina bad been loud nnd Inuir in the cry lor ilisolutinn. No man understood every part of our (Jovernnieut better than John Q. Adams. Mr.

Underwood, nf Ken-lucky, once said, "lo dissolve the Union, is the dissolution of Slavery if the Union wcio dissolved they would eros th line nnd curse Iheir musters from the other bbore.

he Whig party occupies a position very similar lo that of Ilio tim'ottu-imte gentleman referred lo. Yonder tall (eiieinl Juno Scott has a few curse! in store for those who idiy nt bis Se.ward'isiu nnd Orcclyism, hich will entirely obliterate the memory of thnt hich once disturbed "iho ringing plains of windy Tiny." Madame Minerva Webster, too, has no intention of being whistled down the wind for nny demi-rep in nil thn of whig gods and goddesses. Nor will llm Venus of Ilio While House let her damaged reputation interfere with the chances of Millard Fillmore, if "ihu nxo, tho whip, the ngnmjug wheel," of party palronngo and party can stihihiv the incliuatiuns of iho nude portion of humanity. Mr: Humphrey Miirhhul, Iih sworn knight errant in Ibe House ol bepreseiilatiics, has just published slashing letter upon the propriety of awarding tho golden npplo to (General Scott. Hu say that unless Juno will quit bad company, nnd reform her wny of life, nnd come out it It pledge lo stand by the Compromise through thick nml thin, ('en.

Scott can no mote get the vote of Kentucky tf mil lie cnti "command tlio powers of Heav en." Good phrase, that; and nil the Whig lenders of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia nnd Louisiana say Iho same thing. On tho oilier hand it is nniusing to see liow Greely uud Sewnrd (lout nnd seotf their protestations and Iheir threats. The Trilnwr sums up the political history of these I lU.vtoRE Slates, gives estimates ot their political in the last threo Presidential elections; and then tells them lo run Fillmore if they choose ami fleet him them-trlves. Wo tako that to bo fair set-oil' to Mr. Marshall' letter and something more.

What the Whig party will do with its three doxies remains to be seen, hut there will certainly bo a pretty kettle of fish nt the Philadelphia Convention, and the writer of this paragraph promises himself considerable ninount of pleasure in superintending its cooking.
