TIIt SLAVE QUESTION
At no period of our history hes the extending
greatness and prosperity of our country been more
apparent and promising, than at this particular junc
ture. Thu war of 1812, which has been, very ap
propriately called the second svar 'of independence,
resulted in the complete establishment of our na
tional rights; aid the late war with Mexico, has
gii en to the world, the most conclusive evidence of
our ability and readiness to sustain them. Hence
iwth, we have nothing to apprehend from foreign
aggression., If we adhere to that ezcellent maxim,
to "ask nothing but that which is clearly right, and
onlinat to nothing that is wrong," *e have but little
reason to apprehend trouble in our foreign inter
tercourse -
In regard to our internal relations, we can perceive
no just caust-td mar the harmony of the operations
of our federative system, or to retard its progress
in the fulfilment of its estiny in the extension of
liberafprinciples. It is true that some weak and
timid minds, fancy that they see a speck in our" po
litical horizon, arising out of the question ofshn:cry,
which is tu magnify into a dark cloud of domestic
trouble and dissentiotr. For oufsel%es we partici
pate in no such apprehensions; and were not its agi
tation kept alive by ambitious politicians, on both
tides of the question, who hope to profit by excite
ment, as well, perhaps, as by some othere, who
would like to see the storm raised, in order to have
the credit of pouring upon it the oil of compromise
and conciliation, the little speck which is new glim•
mering through the atinusphere would gradually
disappear.
..The course of the ultra abolitionists, is certainly
ill:advised, as well in regard to the staves them
selves, us to the constitutiona I right puid duties which
we uois to Mir fellow-citizens of the slave states.—
They have, not only, riveted the chains of the slave
in many places 4 but they have produced au intensi
ty of feeling and excitement, among our southern
brethren, unfavorable to calm discussion and ration
al decision. With slavery in all the states, where
it exists, wo have certainly no legal)right to inter
fere; nor do the citizens in the nonJletliling states,
net in good faith, and in accordance\
vith the spirit
of the coustution, who agitate, from without, in or
der to disturb.the internal security and repose of the
people of the slave states. lit this view of the sub
ject, tVe are sure nine-tent be, and more, of the peo
ple of Pennsylvania concur. 0 I the. other hand
the extravagant pretensions of snuthcrpt statesmen,
ill regard to the institution-of slavery, and its ex
tension, under the constitution, into te' ri Rinks,
o here it never had existence, excites \ the decided
hostility of thusands of the citizens i• - of the frce
states, oho w ould shed their block, to vindicate the
local rights of the slave states, us they now exist,
again.t ally violent aggressimi.
We entertain no prejudices or unkind feelings
toward slaw:holders. With many Of them, that
they are such is their misfortune rattier than their
fault. We have the pleasure of knowing many of
theist, personally, and number among them many of
our liest friends, and believe thein as good men, ill
all re,pects, as ally other of our acqiiaintatices.—
We, therefore, feel that prejudice dues nut bias Mir,
judginent . on this question.
Tut we cannot help believing, that the MOH %the
does not see that slavery must as eel-minty give way
to the rapidly accumulating poptillitiou alai hurce of
white labor, as the natives Of the forrest, and sal,-,
age life. have had to recede bi fore the trend of the
white man, has observed the progress of the times
to but little advantage. Already, as land is advan
cing, in price in the eastern_and middle states, tire
many of the enterprtizing - citizens of those states
emigrating to Maryland and Virginia, purchasing
lands and cultivating thea with while labor; ;ind n s
population increases and lands rise, this emigration
will greatly multiply. Mauy observing ei;izeos
think it much more advantageous to buy these lands,
at the rates they command, and improve tIoNo, than
to emigrate wet.
Maryland we regard now but as nominally a slave
state, and we believe her lands would bring more,
to-dav, if slavery were abolished within her limits,
than her lands and slaves, together, ns she now is.
The people of western Virginia, and even in s ome
parts of the state east of the Mountains, are het lit
tle attached to slavery,.and would be pleased if they
were rid of it. Thu movements in Kentucky, are
indicative of the feeling there, and Missouri, it is
well known, is by no means a strong slate state.—
The people there sec how slavery has wattled their
tYrogrossi by a comparison with Illinois and other
neighboring free suite's.
11, then, the indications egninNt slavery are so ap
parent, with our present amount of population, what
may we - not expect in less than a quarter of a cen ; , l
teary? The present population of the United States
is supposed to be upwards of twenty-million=, and
should it continuo to increase according to the past
ratio, in a little over twenty years it will be forty
and in about forty-three years from this
time, eighty mil 11011.9. Many young men of t wenty -
one years of age at this time, will, in the ordinary
course of nature, live to see it exceed eighty .
min
ions; and children now born, u ill see it exceed the
enormous amount of ono hundred and sixty millions.
As population thus increases, lands must necessa •
rily rise in value, and wherever the climate and soil
will admit, the energies of free labor will cultivate
it, to the entire exclusion of the slave. Tnis, accor
ding to the natural progress of things, is as certain
as any event in futurity.
If it be asked, l% ilia is to become of the slaves?
we answer we do riot know. ,When they become
tinprolitabie and burthensome, to their owners, the
emergency and necessity of the - Case, may suggest
some equitable and humane disdosition of the ques
tion. Be this as it rimy, thn glntocooh - n who at
tempts to raise his banner, at this day, in favor of
the propogation and exten-ion Or slavery, is tar be
hind the times and spirit of the age. Ile certainly
tlees not belong to the progressive democracy.—

mechanic-, laborers, (arguers, and tradesmen, were
settling up their afnirs in the province, and about
starting for the United States, and that two-thirds
of them, especially the agi l icultural portion, would
settle in the western Sta.es. Last year it was said

10,000 persons left the provinces, and it is estima
ted that 15,000 will leave this year. Every steam

hundreds. This immense emigratirm is caused by
the pokey pursued by the mother country towards.

THE GROANS OF THE WOUNDED.
Unlike Father Riehie, of the "Union," we can say
with ' enga, "we like the rocking of these battlements."
Their vibrating motion gives us the most exquisite sea
ration of pleasure—the shrieks and groans of the ene
mies Wounded—those who have been toppled from•their ,'
giddy, height,- - strikes upon our car like, the far ar
strainit of the most delicious music, wafted on breezes
laden with tae refreshing and sweet - perfumes of early
spring. Personally we would not hurt a hair of their
heads, but politically, we like to see them writhe and
boor them groan under the blows of the "second Wash
ington." With curse; on their lips against all und eve
ryone engaged in tlie late just war with Mexico,
they assembled in a National "slaughter-house" conven
tion, and took from among the heroes of that war a man;
who, in their hearts, they ire'spised, simply because they
thought the fame ho had thus acquired could be made
available - among the people. ile stood pledged before
the country that if elected he wool) not he the "Presi

lumns of the press, proclaimed their determination to
tibidt;by. In his Allison letter ho told the people that,
if they would elect liiin,l he would "have no Heeds to

gentlemen, one and all, cried "Ainen—great, is ' the

The k - .a41 , 1 and eel ii of curvattiricof the first two lines
nro the same, with lint one hundred feet in length of
curt-mitre in favor of t h e s coo Ihu Tilt) ”:001/,,0 of
construction will also be much iht il same for each; so
that any preference which should
,be given to one lino
over the other, would probably be goveined by the dif
ference in damage which went.' be done to private prop
erty in the construction of time two lines:
The first line, on acc.ment of its proximity to the Ridge
Road, cuts the farms rather b idly for a mile or so East
and West of the point where 'it messes said Road.
Both lines as located strike several dwellings. The
dwellings which come in the nay of the second lino nro
all within a mile of each other and near where this line
crosses and re-crosses the Ridge Road. SI/011111 this line
be adopted, both safety to the public generally and con
venience to those who reside on the public Road where
the Rail Road runs along and crosses - it, would require
the Ridge Road to be - straightened and kept ot olio side
of the Rail Road from the point nhero the latter first
crosses it to the point where it leaves it, about one mid
ono eighth mile, moving the dwellings mentioned baCk
distauce, thus leaving all the buildings in
this neighborhood 9n the same bide or the Kan none
with the farms to which they are attached.
Tito dwellings might, by curving back and forward a
little, be avoided, but aside from the disadvantages of
curves to the road itself Mere are other objections to them
nt the crossing of so important a public Road as the
Ridge Road, of a much more serious character. ;Slaking
a curve in a Ruil Road to avoid a building" necessarily
leaves the building just in the place where it will imiSt .
effeetually'obstruel the view of the approaching cars.
'Phe Public safety nt so important a crossing would make
it most desirable that every obstacle to the sight possible
should bo removed. ThiS dono Item; and the
line being straight, 'the approach. of , ears from either
direction could bo seen ns far as the eve could reach.
Tho owners of the property should, of course, be libo
' rally cosimensated, and when this is done no doubt their
consent would be obtained to the removal of buildings,
and a much better arrangement of the buildings and the
Ridge Road could be made, than could possibly result
from the Rail Road curving shout among them in their
present position.
The advantages of such arrnisgetnent, upon mature
consideration, can scarcely be doubted, nor could any
great danger or material inconvimince result from the
two Roads thus running pm - tulle' to each other: The
Rail Road front Ruffian to Albany for Malty long distan
ces, as well as the Rail Road from Buffalo to the Falls,
two of the most travelled thoroughfuresi in the country,
run ride by side with the common roads'end through the
most thickly settled neighbourhoods, and yet Isceidents
occur as seldom on these as on any of our Rail Roads.
Tho d,amage which would bo done to private property
by the 3d or stritiglst. lino would be much the same as
that dono by the 2d as it follows that line fOr more than
sixteen miles of the distance from Eris. The expense
of grading this straight lino will probably exceed either
of the other lines about fifteen thousand dollars: (SIS,-
000) owi neprincipally to the differenee its expense in
crossing the, Twenty-mile Creek. As an offset to this
additional' expense, however, this lino possesses*the im
portant advantage of having but nine feet of elevation to
overcome in coming West, which can be distributed over
a distance of two miles, whilst the other two linos have
to overcome an elevation in that direction of thirty-six
feet, a - portionof which fa at the rate of fifteen feet to the
mils. This is au important consideration. 'particularly
should it be found upon oratvination which will probably
soon be made from this place to the Ohio State Line, that
the maximum grade there will be less than - Afteesi foist to
the mile; and froth as 'examination East of our , Mato
Line. that the upper crotising of the,Twenty Dille Crook
wiltauit eimally well a connexion' withitte Bufralo4oati.

Numerous considerations induce the road to be brought

ERIE AND ' NORTH I:Aqr Rllll. ROAD.—We
,lave the
pleasure, this week, of laying before our readers the
Report of M. Commuter, Esq., Engineer of She Erie
and North East Railroad. We setucely need ask for it
a careful pemsal of capitalstt and hie:Mess men gene
rally, as the itnpottance of the wells, ho has just survey
ed and located, must unquestionably reeuntmenid- every
thing relating to i t to their attention. It will ho seen
that tho route to peculiarly favortkble fur the construction
of tho,rond, that it will cost less than any other relit) of
equal length in tho country and, forming,. as it does, one
ofthe finks iu that great iron tract which, at no distant
day, Is to unite the Atlantic cities with the Mississippi,
will be one of the most profitable investments that capi
talists can find. IV° need not, however, enlarge hero
upon the advantages of the early construction of the
road, but refer the reader directly to the report itself.
PROTECTION:4IW Wltsg.ss aro far from, agreeing on
this subject. Formerly ever)- IVlsig was ra protectionists
now many have lenrised snore correctly the true laws of
trade, and the science of government. The \ew York
Tribune Contains the following emotnntakeution from one
of its correspoutlentaL nailing one of Simple ilosavt:'s
celebrated fallacies:
`•ln your Tariff article on 'Thursday morning, you
deny thnt the tendency of u Protective duty is to enbaluaS
prices: Now 1 coufes-s myself, though a 'Whig. in a state
of shameful uncertainty in regard to the entire question
of the .Protective policy. And yet ono thing seems to
me clonr—namely. that vices inusi be enhanced by a
Twill; otherwise its purpose is not answered. Lam pro
bably showing may utter ignorance of the matter, but I
ask information. •
"`Puking, for instance, Iron instead of Pins, is yonr
argument true? A higher ditty—thA is, an enhanced
price=is asked to enable the, manufacturers to live. If
no increaso of price Is obtained, and that permanently,
what it , the good of 'Protection?! Does it reduce fife
rate of wages. (1 hope not,) or hotrY"f hen how does a
a Tariff, without n an increase of prices. make manu
factures profitable?"
Ma. EntFort.-.4 desire to . enquire through, yon.
whether the city authorities havo made any sanatory 'v
iolations in anticipation and prevontion of tho Cholera?
If there has been a committee of health appointed as 1
kayo heard, why have they not acted? There aro poz
Lions of the city itre very filthy crMilitiou. and admirably
calculated to.coittribUte to the production of the. disea . ee.
Why. then:ls4Es not attended to? The authorities of
Cleioland and Buffalo are melting every effort' to cleanse
theireities; why should our place be expectllitto escape
tl4 plague if there is reason to expect It at either of the
places named. I should bo glad to have yen , and the
'city pressrtll speak out on this subject, _ .1.
