I arji certain that there i is not in this assembly, ope of-these d' uded men, | and that there are few vjithir the bounds of the ' State. If there arc any, I would earnestly entreat them to forbear; to pause in their career, and de liberately consider the consequence of their con duct to the whole Union, and to those for whose benefit they profess to act Tint the Latter will be thevichms of the weak, ir,itoic\Dus, presumptuous , and unconstitutional effort* to.serve them , a tho rough examination of the rulject must convince 1 them. The struggle (and struggle there must be) .ny commence with horrors such as 1 have descri bed, but it will end with more fiimly rivetling the chains, or in the utter extiiptiion, of those whose cause tney advocate. Am I ten ng, fellow-citizens, in applying the t rms wean,presnmptuoui and unconstitutional, to * the measures of the emancipators 3 A slight ex- , aminntion will, I think, show that lam not. In a ' vindication of the objects of a Convention which was lately held in one of the towns of Ohio, which 1 saw in a newspaper, it was said tiiat nothing' more was intended than to produce a state of pub- 1 lie feeling which would lead s to an amendment of the Co. solution, authorising 'the abolition of sla \erv in the United States, Now, can an amend ment ol the Constitu ion be ieffetted without the consent of the Southern Stsftes 3 What, then, is i the proposition to be submitted to them ? It is this: * The present prov.- ioni of the Constitution ' secure to you the right (a l ight which you held be fore it was made, which you nave never given up.) to manage your own don; estid concerns in your own way, but as we are convinced tiiat you do not manage them properly, we want you to" put in the hands ot the General Gqven'-imont, in the councils of which wc have the majority, the control over these matte rs, the effect of which will be virtually to transfer the power from yours into our hands.’ “ Again ; in some of the States, and in sections 5 of others, the black population far exceeds that of the white. Some of the emancipators propose an immediate abolition. V\ hat is the proposition, then, as it regards these States and parts of States’ but the alternatives of amalgamation with the blacks, or an exchange of situations with them ? Is there any man of common sense who does not believe that the emancipated blacks, being a ma jority, will insist upon a full participation of polit ical rights with the whites ; an when possessed of these, they will not coni ~nd . r a full share of social rights also ? What (but the extremity of weakness and folly could iijiduce any one to think that such propositions as Ihese co- d be listened to by a people so intellige nt cjs the Southern States ? Further : the emancipators generally declare that it is their intention to effect ,‘heir object (altho’their acts contradict the assertion) by no other means than by convincing the slaveholders that the imme diate emancipation of he slaves is called for, both by moral obligation and found policy. An un fledged youth, at the mo mint of leaving (indeed, in many instances, before lie has left it) his theolo gical seminary, undertake* to give lectures upon morals to the countrymen fVythe, Tucker, Pendle toa, and Lowndes ; and lesions of pulitica' wisdom to States, whose affairs haj e so recently been di rected by Jefferson and Madison, Macon and Cra wford. Is it possible that instances of greater vanity and presumption could ty exhibite.? Eat the course pursued by the emancipators is unconstitu tional. Ido not say tiiatt;*ere are any words in the Constitution which forbid |the discussions they are engaged in ; I know tht|t there are not. *And there is even an article secures to the citi zens the right to express a id publish their opinions without restriction. But in the construction of the Constitution it is always necessary to refer to the circumstances under which it was fiamed, and to ascertain its meaning by a comparison of its pro visions with each other, and with the previous sit uation of the several States who were parties to it In a portion of these, slavery was recognised, aad they took to l avs thefiight secured to them, to follow and reclaim such (|f them as were fugitives to other Scutes. The lav sos Congress, passed un der tnis power, haveprov ided punishment to any who shall oppose or inter upt the exercise of this right. Now, can any one.;believe that the instru ment, which contains a ; provision of this kind, which authorizes a Piaster to pursue his slave into another State, take him l|ack and provides a pun ishment for any citizen jor citizens of that State who should oppose ljim,|diould, at the same time, authorize the latter to a; terrible together, to pass resolut ons and adopt; addresses, not only to encou rage the slave - to le-i ve fheii masters, out to cut their throats before ifheysli so 3 “I insist that, if jhi* t|tizens of the holding States can avail themselves of the article of the Constitution v* hic| prohibits the restriction of speech or the press, te publish any thing injuri ous to the rights of the'sUveholding States, that they can go to the extreme that I have mentioned, and effect any thing further which writing or speaking could effect. But, fellow-citizens, these are not the principles Constitution. Such a con struction would defeat one of the great objects of its formation, which was that of securing the peace and harmony of Ilia States which were parties to it. The liberty of Speech and of the pres-’, were given as the most effectual menus to preserve to each and every citizen tjieir own rights,and to the States the rights which appertained to them at the time of their adoption. It could never have been expected that it would he used by the citizens of one poition of the Slates'for the purpose of depriv ing those of another portion of the rights which they had reserved ot Ihr adoption of the Constitu tion, and in the exercise of which, none but them selves have any concern or interest. If slavery is an evil, the evil is uvith them. If there is guilt in it, the guilt is theirs , not ours, since neither the States where it does notiexist, mr the Government of the United States, i in, without usurpation of power, and the violation of a solemn compact, do any thing to remove it without the consent of those who are immediately interested. But they will neither ask for aid, nor Consent to be aided, whilst the illegal, persecuting; and dangerous movements are in progress, ot whij h I complain ; the interest of all concerned requires that these should be stop ped immediately. 'I hrs can only be done by the force of public opinion, and that cannot too soon be brought into operation Every movement which is made by the abo -tiorlists in the non-slaveholding States, is viewed by our Southern brethren as an attack upon their right-, and which,if persisted in, must in the end, eracVickte those feelings of attach ment and affection, between the citizens of all the States, which was produced by a community of in terests and danger'- in she war of the Revolution, which was the foundation of our happy Union,and by a continuance of wjiich it can alone be preserv ed. 1 entreat you, thl*n, to frown upon measures which are to produce -esu ts so much to be depre cated.

The last evidence we shall present is, an ex tract from a letter wiitten during the present year • by General Harrison, to a member of Congress 5 from S. C., and first published in the Charleston ! Courier. “ I saw some time since an article from the Charleston Courier, stating that my Vincennes’ l speech contained all that the South had a right to 1 expect on the abo.ition question. In a subsequent article, however, the Editor says that I had con cealed my sentimentr, on the subject, after I had been brought out as a candidate for the Presidency, i In this the Editor greatly errs. The speech was delivered at Vincennes, in June, 1835 At that time my name was upon every anti-administration paper in Indiana, as the opposition candidate, and upon most of those in Ohio, and I had been nomi nated, in a very considerable number of public meetings, many months before. My first nomina tion at Harrisnurg, Pa. look place' in the the fall of 1830. I enclose you an A bany paper of Feb. 7, lbS6, to shew how extensivelj 1 was then re garded as a candidate for the Presidency.” We cannot omit here lo insert the remarks of the Courier, on introducing the above extras t into its | columns, and we beg our readers to recollect that the Courier advocates the re-election of Mr. Van I Buren. It is in the following language; “ General Harrison now “ stands before the re- Public “ redeemed . regenerated and disenthralled” i from the diabolical genius of northern abolitionism. We proclaim it. as we promised, and sound it' trumpet-longved,that echo may take it up, and send '■ it, from hill top to hill top, with loud and joy- I ouspeals, in triumph through the land.” “ We repeat, however, tnat Gen. Harrison now 1 stands rectus in curia with the South— he has no i bly scorned all concealment and thrown 01T all re serve, and, occupying a position, by the side of Mr. Van Buren, on the p ! atform of the Constitution he is justly and honorably entitled, so far as the slave question is concerned, to compete, on equal ground with Mr Van Buren, for the votes and favor of the South. Let either be elected, and the Consti tution is safe, the South is safe, and the Union the hlood bought Union—the temple of Liberty— is safe and sanctified.” Rail Road Convention. The Southern Banner of Friday says, “The stockholders in the Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company, held their annual Convention in that place during the present week, commencing on mpnday and adjourning on Wednesday last.

A better nomination could not have been made than that of Judge Huntington. Colijn C. Newcomb.—The Corsair states that this individual, so well known as the late first tel ler of the .Manhattan Bank, and delimiter with the White’s and others, cf that Institution, >s now in this city, and will shortly appear i n propia persona, like hia colemporary, Dalinej,and give every infor mation in his fiower, as regards the mismanage ment and favoriteism shown certain individuals connected with t lat Bank. This we are led to doubt, as we believe that Newcomb was never in any secrets save his own, —and if he can only ac count lo that institution for thess9,C’l)o he so fraud ulently robbed therefrom, he can do much better than his friends expect.

Claim to Property in Holland. —ln the Dutch weekly Journal Vanbct Regt we find an ar ticle which'states, that a very important action has been commenced against the public treasury, re quiring the restitution to the right of heirs of the fortune left by Lieutenant General Theobald Metzger Von Weibnom, Governor of Breda, who died at the Hague on the 23j of February, 1691, and whose fortune amounts to about 20,000,000 of florins. His next heirs, dispersed over Germa ny, France, and Switzerland, were not acquainted with the sta>e of the Affairs till 1835, and the wealthy deceased had made a will, the notice to the heirs having been published only in two pa pers, appearing in Holland and in the Dutch lan guage, though the SladtholJer, William 111., ex pressly ordered that the publication shot Id be made in all parts of the world, and in the principal journals. The heirs lo whom he bequeathed bis property never heard of it, and their descendants did not obtain a copy of the will till 1 835. Hav ing since that time in vain tried by various means to enforce their rights, they have now nad re course lo an action at law, and demand the for tune of the said Theooald Metzger You Weibnom from the Netherlands treasury, to which William i jll delivered it after the death of the owner. From the Houston (Texas) Telegraph, April 29. A. Brigham, Esq., Treasurer of the Republic, has been suspended from his office, as we learn from the last Austen papers. It seems that sus picion has, for some time, existed against that bureau, though the main fault was found with the chief clerk, who is a brother-in-law to the Treasurer. The Secretary of the Treasury had requested the removal of this cleik, which Mr. Brigham refused lo comply with. The com plaints and charges becoming more serious and numerous, the president resolved to suspend the Treasurer from office, and appoint a committee to examine into the state of affairs connected j i With the treasury. Col. Hockiev. Col. W. G I Cooke and Chas. Maacn, Esq.,’ have been ap- j pointed such committee.* And from the well i known integrity of these gcr.tlcmrn. though wc jb' lieve they are personal friends to Mr. Brig- i ! h 4 ar V’ we L m . a .v ei a fair and impartial expose ol the whole matter. The Sentinel says, that the chief clerk has been for a long time suspected of being engaged in speculating with the public money, and when ce. ed on for payments of drafts on the treasury, } be has made statements known to be untrue, in ; respect to the funds on hand, in order that he 1 might carry on these speculations.

The -outh Carolina politician who should league with him will quarrel wfih South Carolina; and whatever might lie his prospecis elsewhere, roust not look to this State, for suprort. ****** Against Harrison, ate objected his former course on Interna l improvement and the Tariff, and some expressions on the subject of slavery, made some time since ; also his sn;>p sed connection with the fast expiring National Republican party.

The Crevasse. — On Sunday night at twelve o’clock, the river made its way through the outer levee in the rear of the garden of Messrs. Bell & Gray, at Willow Grove. The roar of the water awoke several persons, who spread the alarm, and in a short time a large force set to work to stop the inundation.

Mr. H. (the land lord) observed to him, that he was well paid— that thank you was was worth 25 cents, and thank you kindly was worth 37 1-2 cents. He (the footman) soon called for a dinner, which was forthwith provided. After finishing his meal he inquired the price—the answer was 25 cents. He then said, “ I thank you kindly ,” and mov ed off. The landlord immediately called to him, “ Here, stop, my friend, and take your change ; there is 12 1-2 cents your due—your bill was only 25 cents.

In many hun dred certified cases which has been made public, and in almost ever> species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PHENIX BIT TERS have been gralefully and publicly ac l nowledged by the persons benefiitfed, and who 1 were previously unacquainted with the beau itnlly » philosophical principles upon which they are compoun led, and upon which they sonsequenlly I act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every form and description. Their first operation is to loosen from the coals of the stomach and bowels, the various impurities and crudities eon-tantly settling around them ; and to remove the hardened faces which collect in the convolustons of the smallest intestines. Other 1 medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitu al costiveness with »11 its tram of evils, or in a sud den d arrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This fact is well known lo all regular anatomists, who ex amine the human bowels after death ; and hen re the prejudn eof those w'ell informed men against quack medicines—or medicines prepared and her alded to the public bv ignorant pi rsons. 'J he se cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the . liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which , entirely depends upon the regularity ofthe urinary j organs. '1 he blood, w hich lakes its red color from f the agency of the liver and the lungs before it s passes into the hea t, being thus purified by them _ and nourished by food coming from a clean stom ach, courses freely thiough tiie veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicine* have been thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign ! remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of c the Heart, Loss ofAp}»etile, Heart-bum and Head -3 ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor j iiiul Me!anchol3’, Cosliveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies a of all kind. Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Cnnsump r lion, Scur\3, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic Eruptions and Had Complexions, Eruptive com plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and o:hcr disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and influenza and various other complaints . which afflict the huniar’ frame. In fever and ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been 1 mostein nenliy successful; so much so that in the Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni versally prescribe them. All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is tube particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly according to the directions. It is not by a news t paper nonce, or any thmg that ha himself may say > m their lavor, that he hopes to gum credit.
