shall be decided by the State Couveutiou, it will
necessarily be in favor of tho Secessionists, us
they will have at least three votes to two in that
body. Fundamental and vital as is the question,
we are taught by some to believe that it will be
waived by tbe convention, and that the party will
be re united on the “ Baltimore platform." But
the worst of it is, that that same Baltimore plat
form brings up tbe question but does not decide
it, or if it decides it, the decision is in favor of
the Secessionists. Oh, that oracular Baltimore
platform • that Janus-faced, forked-tongued reso
lution which was pasted upon tho motion of Mr.
Soule; a regular secessionist, sad which declares
that tbe democratic party will cariy out tho Vir
ginia and Kentucky resolutions “ in their obvious
meauing and import! ” These are its very words.
But tho qnestien arises, what is their obvious
meauing and import in relation to Secession t—
The fact of tbo resolution beiug offered by Mr.
Soule would indicate that it was adopted in the
sense he pot open it. Ou the other band, the
Union delegates declare that such was not their
view of tho subject, and that they did not intend
to sanction his doctrine. All honest men should
say, ** accursed be these juggling fiends who pal
ter with usin a double sense ”—who bring up a
vital question and then either decide it both ways
for the pnrpose of “harmonizing the party," or in
far or of the uisunionists. But our object was,
to show that the leading organs of the Soothem
Rights wing, backed by their most powerful lead
er, intend to establish the secession platform at

And now a single word to those o.rour
southern countrymen who are disposed
to countenance this attempt to .proscribe
freedom of opinion among democrats at
the north. We have no fear that they
will succeed wo do not entertain the
slightest appreliension'that any, or all,
the patronage of the executive could
make 8hy;<P9fmanent impre^sion tipon
the settled conviction whiclt reigns in tho
breast of every intelligent American,
brought up under the influences of free
labor, that slavery is an unqualified curse
to a natiou. Our apprehensions, if we
have any, are of a different character..
Should the impression get abroad in
the free states, that tbe counsel which
dictated Ais attempted proscription of
General Dix were likely to prevail, and and P oor » lhe a gcd and the
that the southern people had succeeded
in arraying tbe power of the executive
against all who share General Dix's aver
sion to tbe extension of slavery and slave
representation; we would pot like to an
swer long for the security of slave, prop
erty in the southern states. As it is, and
looking upon the future with the most
hopeful anticipations, we canriotkee how
the overbearing and intolerant spirit of a
class of southern politicians should be
brooked much longer by the nation.
We have, scattered through the north
em states, a large and influential class of
men, who are swayed to and fro in their
political judgments by circumstances and
accidential interest, who give very little
thought to' the abstract principles of gov
eminent, and who vote With one party or
another without much reference to fun
damental questions.
This party, at first, yielding to their
instincts, embraced the Jeffersonian pro
viso, and the consequence was, that in
1848—9, the legislature, of every north'
em state in the land, with scarcely an
exception, recommended its application
to the territorial bilk then before Con
gress. The same party, yielding to per
sonal and prudential considerations—to
what we esteemed unfounded apprehen
sions—when in a body in support of the
compromise measures of 1850, hesitating
but for a moment over the inconsistency
of the two positions. One day they are
for tho most liberal principles of free
trade, tbe next, upon a slight change of
the iisue.they will clamor for restrictions
and privileges. This class comprises the
material forceofilheJiaiion^and its move
ment is irresistable in whateVerWay it
may be directed, ft is controlled by no
fixed principles, but mdves mainly under
tbe guidance of its apprehensions. The
time is Et band when this impulsive’ and
unreasoning mass will move upon slave-
ry. The political power of that institut
tion, in this country, is rapidly diminish
ing, and like falling material bodies, the
rapidity of its deceut will increase in pro'
] tortion to tbe distance it has to fall. The
laws of industry and commerce will
quietly settle the problem which has so
long vexed the politicians; and thenit to whom we hereby tender our tamr*
mlFbeasmuch thefosbionlodacrythe ^dol^ce-

We the.Gbmmittee appointed to meet
a Committee appointed by the board of
Directors. ; of the, Mutual Insurance
Company, beg leave to make tbe follow-
irig ropoit:'
The mutual Insurance Company pro
pose to enntributo one-third of the cost
of a good Engine .with the fixtures con
nected with it; but they will not can-
tribute atiything to the building ofeb-
terns, as they, think it tbeduty ofthe tun
to build them.
We have availed ourselves of tho in
formation respecting the cost of a gotd
Engine, and find that one that will suit
our wants will cost, about six hundred
dollars; and cisterns from twenty-five
to one hundred dollars. ' But as there is
a committee appointed for tho purpose
of investigating the cost of building cis-
-torns, we forbear saying more ntffdr
ing lhem^..'v "i&w -.- • • -
The great necesity for, and thp wart
of the necessary means to prelect Wg-
selves against fire, is evident to aff, *w

measures be adopted to bnild cisterns
and procure-an Engine.
