Wednesday, Oct. I—o I*. M, city is perfectly wild with excitement. A negro man named Jerry was arrested here to-day, claimed by a man named McHenry, of Missouri, a* a fugitive slave. The United State* Marshal, with aids from the neighboring cities congregated here, arrested Jerry and brought him before Uni- j ted States Commissioner Sabine. The news soon spread over the city, the bells in the various ehur cnes were tolled, and the people assembled in knots at the corners of the streets—one general feeling prevailing every breast, that of disgust and abbor ence at the Fugitive Slave Law, and this its first foul offspring in Syracuse. Our county Fair be ing held in the city, and the farmers from the sur rounding country were all here. In addition, a Liberty Party Convention was called for to-day, and I notice prominent in our streets some of the leaders of that party. The examination of Jerry, commenced at the Commissioner’s office about 2 o’clock, P. M. The Court room and every avenue leading to it was denesely crowded. Tue prosecution was conduct ed by three lawyers named Anderson, Loomis and Lawrence. The defence was by llillis, Morgan and Sheldon. The commissioner adjourned the Court for half an hour at about a quarter past 2 o’clock, P. M. The adjournment had no sooner been make than a band of negroes and others seized the alleged fugitive, rescued him from the custody of the officers, and rushed down Water and Cenesee st., through Market sqaure, and down Water st. to Lock st., over Lock it. bridge, where he was caught by the officer and taken back to the police office of Justice House. Jerry was heavily handcuffed, which prevented his successful escape at this time. In the meantime the crowd and excitement be came intense : and the feeling gained on the peo ple that the Fugitive Slave Law must not be execu ted in Syracuse. The Military Companies were ordered out by the,Sheriff of the county, and got undor arms, prepared for action. Only one. com pany, however would leave their armory , and final , ‘ ihey went hick, and the whole military of t’ city refused to aid or abet in carrying into Slavery. The Commissioner resilin'* examination at about 5 P. M. at the Pol* office of Justice House. The crowd out*idcy‘* nab | a to gain admittance, became more and tr ,re excited, and tlio “noise and confusion” freai* ntly preven ted the prosecution of the exaroitteion on the in side. Stones were thrown in the windows of the room, and the crowd exhibited other unmistaka ble signs that were decidedly hostile to the Fugi tive Slave Law. About 7P. M. the crowd out side became more and mare clamorous, and the stones, Ac., becoming more and more frequent, the Commissioner decided to adjourn the examina tion till to-morrow morning at 8 o’clock. This was announced to the crowd by Mr. llillis, counsel for the prisoner, but the excitement could not be allayed. The officers in charge of the fu gitive soon found it necessary to hoard up the win dows, and in doing so they got pretty well pelted. They next tried the effects of a few shots tired over the heads of the jietilAc. but it only increased the excitement. About 9 P. M. a desperate on slaught was made, and the doors and windows of the office broken in the lights extinguished, and the fugitive taken from the custody of Ins officers 1 carried away to breathe freedom and liberty in the “rural districts” of our delighful County. So Mr. Webster’s prophecy proves false, and the Fu gitive Slave Laui cannot be enforced in Syracuse. The agont of the claimant at the final rescue jump ed from the window of the police office, on the heel path of the canal (or into the canal, I don’t know which,) where he was caught by the crowd; but he claimed to be a line boat passenger and the crowd bclioved the story, and let him go. A barrel of tar and a bag of feathers had been pro vided for his aceomomdation, a.ml were within convenient distance, but he escaped, them by his dex terous subterfuge. I understand the Marshal from Rochester had his arms broken in the melee at the last escape, anil rumor is busy reporting other i injuries, none, however, of a serious nature, and I ’ have no faith in any of the reports. The ap pearftnee of the Police Office k rather dejected and looks some as if it had stood a pretty hard fire. The general sentiment was and is against the law and its execution; and one general con gratulation is passing round the streets, and from mouth to mouth, at this final issue of the attempt to kidnap a human being in the Central City of the Empire State, o. n, Syracuse, Oct 2 —3 P. M. That part of the city immediately surrounding #he Police Office, appears as if it had just been evacuated 1 by a retreating army. The building it self bears uimristakablo evidence of the fury and sincerity of those who were eugaged in the rescue of the slave Jerry last evening. The particulars, as I sent them to you, do not vary at all from the fact* as they were. The Deputy Marshal, Fitch, from Rochester, had his arm broken in jumping from the Police office to the ground. Some of the accounts have it that he received a blow from some of the assailants, by which his arm was bro ken. This is an entire mistake. He broke his arm himself in his endeavor to- ge t ont of tr.e way of the crowd. lie was removed to Rochester in the nine o’clock train this morning, bis irin hav ing beeni first properly set, and I ara informed by | his surgeon that it could have lieen broken ns it is ; only by a fall. One other man, a citizen of Syra cuse, named Woodruff?, who had been employed in securing the prisoner, received a blow on the | Hoad, which did it some damage. No violence I was urged by the crowd. It had none of the char acteristics of a mob. It was one universal infiinch iiig current against, the Fugitive Slave Laic. The feeling could not be resisted. The crowd as if moved by an impulse, effected the rescue of Jerry as completely, mid as successfully, as it could be j done. A heavy pkmk was brought against the j doors of the Police Office, which bolted, barred and secured as they were, soon yielded to the tre-1 mendous pressure. The crowd then flocked into ■ the office, extinguishing the lights, and with the , same plank battered down an inside partition, vchicli. led them into the room where sat the poor fugitive heavily chained and handcuffed, and sure rounded by officers and Deputy Marshals. He was taken up on the shoulders of the crowd, and, amidst the most deafening hurrahs and shouts, was borne along Water street to Safina, aud down Safina to tho Railroad Depot, through the Depot to Warren down Warren to Brintnall’s Hotel, where he was placed in a carriage and driven ra pidly away. /' ” iff ifeg<-.>j-Sgii&Tr&r.

Mr. Webster is unfortunte in his threat, ; and the legal officers have been still more unfor tunate in their attempts to carry :t out, at this | ,ilT, e- It is doubtful if they will not always be i alike unfortunate to do the same thing in this city : the I'ttle paper printed here called the Star, is fu rious upon the occasion, hut its voice is like unto that of the dog barking at the moon. There is not a Corporals Guard in the whole city taking sides with it. The agent of the claimant (whose j j lame is James Lear,) was arrested on a warrant I j jssued by J ustice House, on the charge of attempt- j j ,n S to kidnap a citizen. Ife was held to bail.— He will (if he can be found, which is doubtful,) be arrested again this afternoon, for carrying arms concealed upon his person. The namo°of the claimant ujion poor Jerry is John Mcßeynolds, < of Marion County, Mo. With regard to the firing, i some conflitcing statements have been made. The.ii first firing was by the officers from the Police C fice, and was without doubt intended to intirniif the crowd. It, however, had the contrary £ n ’ and was answered by a renewed and more, sivc volley of brickbats, and the crowd, f ; rinL , came more furious.

In the first place, the Federal Republic—this Government of thirty one States, fifteen of which are slaveliolding—gives the Syracuse a protective duty of 20 per cent ad valorem, on every bushel of suit it makes. In 1850, the imports of salt in to the United States were 11,224,185 bushels; and on every bushel of that salt, mainly to aid strengthen and support Syracuse, and like manu facturing places, the People of these United States, and Slaveliolding people among them paid a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem. The llxpecliliou in Search of Sir John frank tin. The “Advance,” Capt. Do Ilavcn, has arrived, in the order her name bespeaks, from a voyage un dertaken in philanthropy, full of peril, fail of inci dent, and successful in everything but tho great object of her search. Tho first grand cause for I*, that, ull lu.*- lijr.Uldfls enterprise mwl danger have not cost the sacrifice of a single life. How eminently this blessing is owing to a protect ing and ever watchful Providence will lie appa rent from the simple narrative of the incidents that befel the Expedition and the particular trials by which the Advance was tested, in those hitherto unkuown and untraveled seas. Truly God was on tho watersshaping the destiny of this great mis sion of Charity, even though fated not to discover the long lost wanderer, lint let us begin our nar rative : “The American Expedition entered Willington’s Sound on the 26th of Aug., 1850, where they met Gapt. Perry with the Lady Franklin, and So phia, and were afterwards joined by Sir John Ross and Commodore Austin. On the 27th, Capt. Perry discovered unmistakeable evidence of Franklin’s first Winter quarters —three graves with inscriptions on wooden headboards dating as late as April, 1846. Their inmates, according to these inscriptions, were of his crew—two from the Terror. There were besides fragments of torn canvass, articles of clothing, wood and cordage, undoubted evidence of a large and long encamp ment; but affording no indications which would serve as guides to the searchers or give assurauee to hope. Oil the Bth of September tho Expedition forced through the icc to Barlow’s Inlet, vvliero they nar rowly escaped being locked in tho ice. But they so far succeeded, and on the 11th reached Grif fith’s Island, tho ultimate limit of their Western progress. From this they set sail on the 13th, with intention of returning to the United States, but were locked in, near the mouth of Welling ton’s Channel. Here commenced those perilous adventures, anything comparable to which, were never encountered and survived. By force of the Northern icedrift they were helplessly drifted to 75 deg. 25 min. N. lat., and thence drifted again into Lancaster Sound, somewhat, we would say, in a south-easterly direction. The agitation of ieo elevated the “Advance” nearly seven feet by tho stem and keeled her 2 feet 8 inches starboard. In this position she remained, with somo slight, changes, for five consecutive months. And while j in it the depth of winter closed its frozen terrors | around the expedition. The polar night fell upon , them, and for 80 days no ray of solar light broke ; upon them. Tho thermometer (Fahrenheit) ran ! ged 40 degrees below zero and sometimes sank to j 40. Early in this awful night, (November sth,) j the Rescue was abandoned, tor the purpose of | economizing the fuel, and the crew of both ves sels determined to brave their fate together.— They every moment expected the embracing ice i would crush the vessel into atoms, and consequent ; ly stood prepared sleeping in their clothes with knapsacks on their backs, to try chances on the ! ico, mid storm and terror, and night. For this ! terrible trial they had made every preparation, ! had provision sledged and every thing in readi ness which might be useful for such a journey.— They were then 90 miles from land, and so “cer tainly did they expect that they should make this j alarming trial that on two occasions, (Bth Decem ber and 23d January,) the boats were actually lowered aud the crews assembled on the ice to j await the catastrophe. | During this [.eriod the scurvey became epidemic, and assumed an alarming character. Its progress defied all the usual remedies, and only three men escaped the attack. Gapt. De Haven was himself the greatest sufferer. Tho constant uso of fresh water obtained from melted ice, active .mental i and physical exertion, and the care of Divine Pro- til.. (\\iC fielded to a beverage a sort of a) lemon juice. After eijfing Baffin’s I pan? 13, the ice liecame fixed, an‘d the little ei dition became stationary and fait'in the jpids j a vast plain of ice, 90 .miles from any jhmHkf stores, cordage were in snow-lmuses erected on the ice/ nndjyry encampment was formed, \rid all thej2p!<£ if not the solidity, of terrajEku-mcj®* s, ice varied from three to eigb^^ a,^e .' v ' dloUt i >ro. tan, snuaitori o;pi r-(meek suns) | its attractions.

By a continu- Iprovidential assistance it passed the perils of incaster Sound and Baffin’s Bay, and on the ‘loth of June emerged into open water, lat. 65 deg 30 min. N., a little south of the Arctic circle, .being thus released from an • imprisonment of nearly nine months, during which they helplessly drifted 1,060 miles. While in Lancaster Sound the roar of water and tumbling icc exceeded all earthly tumult, and was sometimes so loud and stumning as to render both voice and hearing use less. Capt. De Haven’s first care on his escape was to repair damages and restore the health and vigor of the crews. With that object he visited Green land, where he refitted. After a short delay, with unabated courage and unflinching purpose he once more bore northward. On the 7th July the expedition spoke some whalers, and on the Bth passed the whaling fleet by the Dutch islands, there arrested in the ice. But on the lltli the Expedition reach Baffin’s Island, and entered through vast masses of loose ice. Here the Prince Albert joined. They continued in company till August 2d, warping through the ice, when the Prince determined to try the southern passage.— De Haven persever in his course until the Bth, when he became completely entangled jn floes and bergs. Here again the Expedition encounter ed perils of the most alarming kind. The floating icc broke in the bulwarks, and covered the deck in broken masses like rocks tumbled pell mell by a mountain torrent. The more than iron endu rance of the gallant ships were severely tested by the crush of the closing icc, but they ruse to the pressure as if defying the elemental strife, baffled its fury, and somewhat disabled, but still without a plank yielding in any vital part, rode safely in an open road on the 19th day of August. Here, finding the north and west already closed against them, the American expedition set their sails and bore homeward, after having dared and suffered, and overcome difficulties and dangers such as scarcely if ever beset the path of a mar iner. It is supposed the English Expedition wintered at or near Fort Martyr, and thence prosecuted their voyago westward. The American Expedi tion, therefore, was in a position more favorable to the search. It was in a far higher latitude, and the scscqlM sea) could not have been far distant, but tho inevitableflrift into the waters of Lancaster Sound was fatal to its Spring progress, and fatal to the chances which its enter prise had won. The officers and crew of tiie other vessels of the expedition were all in good health and spirits up to the 13th Sept. 1850. The Advance parted with her consort in a hea vy gale off the Banks. The Advance brings sev eral fragments from the encampment of Sir John Franklin, a pair of fine Esquimaux dogs and some articles of curiosity. Thus ends this noble expedition, without discov ering any satisfactory index to the fate of Sir John Franklin; but at the same time without any evi dence to exclude further hope. Sir John might have won tho point which tho Advance was baulk ed of by the fatal drift into Lancaster Sound. If so. and it is not impossible, there is no reason to doubt the possibility ofhitnself and crew surviving in those regions where nature has adapted the re sources of life to the rigors of the climate. The gratification of officers and crew On once* more reaching their native land is in no small degree enhanced by the recollection that in no scene, no matter how trying, was their trust in and mutual love for each other interrupted; and Capt. De Ha ven retains the roost lively recollection of tho gal lant, unflinching conduct of officers and crow. Interesting and Important Com munication. At a meeting of the Central Association of the Cotton Planters of Florida, last Saturday, thefol lowing letter from the American Consul at Am sterdam was read. It eontains information which we have already in part given to our readers; nevertheless it is in a high degree interesting, and must fix tho attention of every Southern man, planter, merchant or mechanic who peruses it.— We stop to make no comments. Tho communi cation speaks for itself. Washington City, D. C. Sept. 24, 1851. Sir :—Enclosed, I take the liberty of forward ing tor your consideration, a card of introduction from tho lion. D. L. Vulee, of Florida. * ! I have been for some time deeply interested in : tho future of tho South, to which I am attached, by association and sympathy, aud feel an honest pride in giving my humble efforts to the accom plishment of any movement calculated to promote j her true interest and re-establich her rights and full equality in the Union. Commerce, I believe i to bo the only means; for upon commerce must i manufactures, internal improvements, &c., Ac., de-1 pc ml. The successfull struggle for commercial j independence, depends entirely upon tho produc ing interest. Let the planters of the South but unite, and they have it in their power to complete ly coerce the North and England together. But how is this to be accomplished 1 The perfect game of deception practiced upon the South by the North and her ally, England, has so completely j blinded and deceived her, that the true represen tatives of her great interest (i c., her planters,) are sleeping under the honied influence-of (also audj dangerous protesssions of love and disinterested ness. This sleep must be broken.* * * Are tlie Southern planters incapable of this effort? I be lieve not. I cannot believe them so weak and in different. The blow must be struck by the Plan ters. It is there, and there alone that any thing can be clone. For lam convinced from the ob servation of years, and from information obtained sliijipiny HI-'! are perfectly in the hands and in pSHp 1- Afiie North and England therefore the , Xps/JSmust assert their rights by combination rTeot the abuses. But the answer is—“\ou stfofb no money, no capital. This I have even lyfinsidered the great difficulty. Lam a Southern 7er—my family and connections and friendstare [all identified with the cotton growing interest, and I know the want of ready money—the want of a ■ friendly and powerful monied ally, compells them to bear a state of things they would gladly break loose from. I believe it is also the case with two-thirds of the planters. Believing this, I de- j termined on soliciting capital on the Continent of Europe. I explained my views to my friends, and ! was sent as United States’ Consul to Amsterdam I —the great commercial and monied City of Con-; i tinental Europe. Her alliances and investments I extend throughout the world; and Holland can furnish money enough to buy New York and Liv i erpool together. The securing of this great inter j cst is important also as a commercial medium; : having already a large market for our produce;; j and cheap and extensive shipping interest to be j gin with. She also commands the Rhine, Ger man Ocean and Baltic. It is with the greatet j pleasure that I can assure you of the disposition in j Holland to grasp the hand of the South, and j j give her the free use of her enormous capital, with i small interest, commissions, charges, Arc., &c., or I to use it in any manner that may be agreed on, * upon correspondence. | Mr has gone to Holland by the Niagra to | act as a correspondent, and to lay before the Mer ! chants of Holland, the propositions as they a | rise. I deem this necessary, as we must have ’ a good and friendly medium of intercourse. I ]am now in America on leave of abscence, as the agent of this monied interest, and will lx; happy | to consult with you and your friends at Macon; as suring you of my hearty co-operation in any way that may be deemed by the Convention best to promote this great interest. I have taken the liljertv of urging the importance of that Conven tion with my friends * * * * For my part, l will pledge myself and my friends in Holland to furnish to the planters any amount of capital they may need to carry out this great undertaking, Money can be had if the planting interest will only combine and form a basis for it. The consumption of cotton goods is rapidly extending in continental Europe, and par ticularly on the Rhine and in Russia. The manu facturers on the continent are becoming anxious to form some kind of alliance with the South.— They do not like the fluctuations of Liverpool, and would rather have their cotton at some fixed price. You know the Europeans (excepting En gland,) are not fond of speculative prices. This is a great question, and one that deserves and must have the most thorough investigation. The agent who has been dispatched to Europe, is a native of Holland, and has the most reliable and unlimited means of furnishing all kinds of information. His position and commercial a.liances, makes him a valuable friend to the cause in w hich he has be come deeply interested. I will however, see you in person at Macon, Ga., on the 29th of October, and will then more fully unfold what I have of interest to you, and will sav in conclusion what I state above, that I will co-operate to the fullest of my power, and pledge myself to sustain and enlist the Holland in fluence. Very Respectfully', From tile Charleston Mercury, Oct. 10. Uloro Help. Yesterday, we learn, nearly one hundred re cruits arrived in our harbor, to fill up the compa nies which now garrison the Forts. We may consider Charleston as now tolerably safe, and accession of troops just before the election, is a signal proof of the watchful and paternal care of the Federal Government. Mr. Fillmore’s Admin istration seems really attached to South Carolina, and we should not wonder if the President car ried his partiality so far as to order a detachment of troops to watch over the ballot boxes, and guard the purity of the elective franchise It is rumored that the treasury of the United States has already been opened for that respectable pur pose, and the bayonets of the army would add considerably to the dignity of the gulden argu ment. It is, then, under the guns ofthe Federal For tresses, that the Freeman of Charleston are to march to the polls on Monday and Tuesday next, and determine whether this State is any longer a State, or only one of the mean dependencies of the “irersponsihle despotism” and the “vulgar tv rany” at Washington. On the one side we have the Palmetto flag, our country, and the cause which patriotism and self-devotion have ennobled in all past ages—the cause of freedom; on the other the momentary preservation of the value of stocks and merchandise, submission to admitted wrongs in the past, an endless future of aggression and insult, and revolutionary incendiarism, and the gurdiansliip of the United States soldiers sent here to remind us that we are a conquered and degraded people, Men of Charleston which par ty do you choose ? From Havana. Late intelligence from Ilavanna reports that the Cuban General assured Capt. Ellis, a liberated prisoner, that by application at Madrid, all the prisoners will be released, upon the condition that the authorities of New Orleans will remunerate the Spaniards for their losses incurred by the riots in that city. Two men, Americans of Lopez’s party, Breckexridoe and Beacit, had been taken up about twenty miles out at sea, when attempting to escape from the Island. They were carried to Havana and were about being sent off to Spain in company with forty others (who were sent) when Capt. Platt of the Albany interfered, on the ground that they were Americans taken on the high sea. [Why did not Mr. Consul Owen do the same in behalf of Crittenden’s men taken under similar circumstances ! ] The two at the sailing of the steamer, were awaiting their trial, which they had a right to claim under the provisions of the treaty existing between our government and Spain.— Sav.

Hon. Thomas Hackett, a member of Congress, from the sth District of Georgia, died a few days since, at Marietta, of a pulmonary af fection. He has been in feeble health for some time past, and the intelligence of his death, how ever painful to his numerous-friends, will-be a. matter of no surprise. He was a sterling Demo crat, and though living in Cherokee Geo-gia, was a zealous advocate of Southern rights. The pre ! carious state of his health during both sessions of the last Congress, of which he was a member, precluded him from taking any active part in the deliberations of that body on the exciting subject which engrossed so largely its time, hence the obscure position he occupies in connection with the subject. Tin; Presidency. We are aware that it is full early to begin to agitate this question at this time, but so impor tant do we deem it, we think it cannot be too ful ly discussed even before the election. The results of the recent elections in Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, are omens of evil import to the South, and clearly indicate that her cherished institu tion is “beset by foes from without and by ene j mies within,” and unless a firm and decided stand | is taken by the entire South on the subject, the J day is not far distant when her surn v fields will jbe laid waste, her happy homes made desolate. I and universal ruin and distress cover her as with ja pall, shutting out from her view every ray of j hope which has hitherto lighted her pathway, j | that equal and exact justice will be meted out to j her by the dominant party of this country, viz: ! ! the Freesciilers. As humiliating as is the thought we are forced to the conclusion by recent events,; that the Freesoilers of the North have able mix j diaries at the South; yea, within the very borders of our own State, who are doing everything in j their power to bring about the dire calamity of I | the abolition of slavery, first in ail places over j which Congress has jurisdiction, and then in the ! States. Wo do not mean to say that all those! who belong to the self-styled Constitutional Uni on party are Freesoilers and Abolitionists—but that there are many belonging to that party, even at the South, who would be rejoiced to sec slavery abolished every where, we as much believe as we do that there is a Supreme Ruler ofthe Universe, and though there may tmm y pcjjgns ing to that party who have no sympathy with or i for either Freesoilers or their doctrines, vet their I acting with them will have a tendency to se jcuro the ultimate triumph of the principles they |so utterly contemn and repudiate. In view then I of the fact that a majority, and a very large ina j jority at that, of the people of the South, see no j cause of complaint for past aggressions, but on the j contrary consider as fair, liberal and just , a se ries of measures which despoiled the South of her ! property and her honor, is it not time that her | true friends should be adopting measures to avert i tiie blow impending over her—or at all events to j refrain from giving “aid and comfort” to her cnc i mies ? j The Northern people, to a man, and a portion | of the Southern people, are opposed to slavery in j the abstract, and if National Convention should ; lie held for he purpose of nominating a candidate : ! for President, a Northern man will bo nominated j las sure as the Convention meets, and if the South | goes into such Convention she will he virtually; j committed to his support, however inimical his j position may be to Southern interests. Such be- j ing the case, the question arises what course the j South should pursue under the circumstances— whether the Southern Rights party should keep aloof from all participation in the matter, and suf fer the Union party of the South in coalition with the Northern Whig party to fight it out against the old Democratic party of the North, or wheth er we shall run a Southern Rights man as a third candidate, and thereby endeavor to throw the election into the House of Representatives, where ! there would be a much greater probability of the South obtaining justice than in the Electoral Col- j lege. For our own part, we are utterly opposed ; to the Southern Rights party affiliating with any Northern party whatever, for no party at the North will do to trust on the subject of slavery, and any candidate to be successful must, pander to Abolitionism, for that influence will in a great j measure control the election, and on whichever side that influence falls the election will terminate.! The Southern Rights party could not consistently j support any man who showed the least disposi- j tion to sympathise with Frecsoilism, and as no ! man can be elected who will not court that iuflu-1 enee, we think it by far the better policy of the Southern Rights party to run a third candidate ; and endeavor to unite the Southern people upon him and throw the election into the House, in j which event the South might possibly elect her [ candidate. If the South expects that a National! Convention will give her a candidate that will be sound upon the slavery question, she will be most \ egregiously mistaken—in fact the nomination of such a candidate would be a certain guaranty of defeat, for all the effort that could be put forth by his party would not rally even a respectable mi nority of the Northern people to his support,— Even Cass ‘wllj with ali his anti-slavery no tions, could not of | Northern votes, for he’ is not JMl ultlil on the subject to satisfy the spirit of Abolitioinli[l at ~ i leisui which pervades the minds of a large pfffei portion of tiie Northern ixxjple. -Buchanan or Dallas, the only men/it the North that the South could with any degree of propriety vote for, wow'd not carry two of the Northern States, while <heir detea: at the South would be almost as complete, tor to- whole Abolition and Freesoil iufllence at the Forth would be arrayed against tfom, togetb ; er wuh the Union party ofthe So*h, and the | ( tf fcst would consequently bo mor overwhelm!#J .than was Yau Buren’s in 1840.
