Another and all-absorbing subject which was agitating both Houses, and in various hapes. was that fruitful ihcine for pole-1 mical declamation and useless excitement tho subject of slavery. Already had many apoeohes been made, and assurance given that the present was likely to lo a stormy and perhaps dangerous sossion. The south as usual waa blustering, and Iiolding up the bugbear of dissolution and tic disincmbcnneat of tills mighty repub lic, if the. north did not be silent and al. low slavery propagandists to have the matter all ihcir own way. But the north have become so much accustomed to this braggadocio that it has become quite harm, leas. It is after all only a few hot-spurs of the south who thus betray the weak, aessnf their cause. Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri havo denounced theso dis. unionists; and Teuncsseo and Louisiana stand aloof from tho excitement. It is, however, astonishing how this subject has aroused tho national mind, and I it is presumed, bo but littlo damngo lo compels every thing else to yield to its' property by this freshet. -n ,.. paramount deinnnds. We regard it as one of the clear indications of Divinu Providence that the time for human eman- , ., , . , ,. , , cipation is drawing near. ho in the .f. , ,, , b . , Old orld Iho masses are in commotion . . . ... rvrl nnnu sil riAiiiiiiiii.iiia salaiii iLai .. ... -,. ...... ...., .. kica lit iit;iiiwiiiig inuu 111 IUO .SCW ST QriU human freedom is one engrossing thought. Onward is tho watchword of the age, and now that tho mighty energies of the intellectual mid moral world are waked up, we may anticipate the speedy reallza tlon of great ovunv. It is but a few years slnco the ami slavery men of America constituted but a small and despised company. They, however, became sufficiently numerous to commence political action on Iho sub ject. ,1 Ids is Indetd the natural tendency of all such agitations. Hut bittorly op.l,,avoa numl"'r r mlnrostliig original ar, poaeo, mey ultimately moulded the north, ern mind into a form closely allied to their own, and inspired it with thoir own boa tility lo the iiutitu'lon of slavery. The fiat thing which gave expression lo tho anti idavery fu'lingof the nortjr- was (he aaltbrattd Wllmotretlso, , TkUpmlw afanply eVokreathat slavery or Involuntary earvilude, except for crime, shall not be admitted Into any of tho territories under tbo Jurisdiction of the federal govern tuont. It was soon discovered that the representatives from tho free statca wore not willing to go homo to their coustituants with their votes recorded against this de cisive measure of Mr. Wllniot. Afler this change had taken pi aco in the out ward manifestations of publlo sentiment, leading politicians of both tho great po litical parties were lounil perfectly will. in; to employ abolition thuudor when it oould bo dona with effect. Hence diKT'llio last presidential canvass, as iicilhsr -Tay. lor nor Cass ncrc recognized as s,utl.oiciit ly averse to tliu institution uf slavery, very considerable fractions nl llm vv hig and democrat lo parties formed nn alliance with tho abolition party, and thus formed ,d as the great object uf a now party.
