The unprecedented majority obtained by John 11.
Walker, fur Congress, in this county, noy surprise
some of our friends in other parts of the State,
Ilere, where the culpable supineness of the Demo
crat, and the untiring industry 01 the midge, mere
seenland felt, it surprises no one. For irmeek or
ten IlnYs pre% iouS to the election, the whigs.were
quickly but etliciently - at work, and the consenneuce
wasfthat when the election day came, they c.tught
os rpping,l and carried all before them. In the
city, where the largest. gain is made, our once
brombeating and overbearing friend, was mipon the
ground all tray, the most of the time upon his knees,
as it mere, soliciting and begging the votes of those
ho had bo often before abused. That he obtained

Whig Professions vs. Practice.
We have recorded many e% idences of the broken
pledges of the will:* - party, in regard to removal
andappointments, Ina none more glaring then the
One we are about to' record. We learn from our
Vhiladelphia• exchanges that Col. J. R. Snowden,
Treasurer of the Mint, has at last fell before the an,
ti-proscription nxe of the Administration. llis suc
cessor is Edward C. Dale, Esq., of that city. The
Bit Mario paner:in nowise frieorlyto the - Democracy
says: "Col. Snowthin has been a Isithful and ex
cellent officer, and has given general satisfaction.''
And this is the tewlmony of all, desnoCrats and
whigq, oho have had any' thing to do with him,—
Honesty. ctepacity
,and integrity, however, haslito
weight with our anti-proscriptive opponents. Wel).
the blood of the martyr is 'the seed of -the Church,
'aud 2 ailny of retribution is sure to follow.
We are under obligations to Messrs Laird
Rust, kuccessors to C. B. Wright in the Mercan
tile business, whose advertisements will be found in
our columns to -day, for a very spirited remembrance,
which we duly submitted to some of .the "best
judges" of our acquaintance, who'dnly pronounced
it the pure joice f of the grape! By the by, as this
is a new firm we' cannot do less in return than
recomtnend them to the patronc,re of the public.
A great Union nas held at Macon, Ga.
on the 28th ult. at4...hich Judge T. G. Holt presvl.

the citizens of BOA county pledgel ''their time,
Menus, rind if necessary, their lives.," . in de
fence of the Union. A similar met ting very large
ly at tended, was held at Jackson, :Nils... lately. Five
turrulred citizelisFlgned the:call for the meeting. The ,
Union party is evidently largely in the ascendant all
over the South.
13:The Ga'zette says the Fugitive Stave Law "is
a truly infamous one, and deserves the oppo:itioo of
eery humane, honest heart." Now, without saying
whether this wholesale denunciation-is just or Out,
we beg leave to call the attention of the whig party,
as well as 'the "rest of mankind," do the fact that
this "truly infamouslaw, which "deserves the oppo- ,
sition and reprobation of every humane honest heart,"
was passed by the rotes of such whigs as Ifadger,
Nell, Berrien, Mangum, Pearce, Ftprurance; Under
wood and IVales—that it had the sanction of such
other whigs as Clay'ond IVebster, and was approv
ed by such a whig President us Millard Pillmore!
Time, according to the Gazette, these whigs cannot
have '•humane, honest hearts," or they would never
have suffered such a "truly infamous" bill •to have
become a law!

:
siderable feeling is attempted tribe get MY in ni'lm•
sition to the peaceable operation of this measure of
the compromise. indeed, it is•,boldly ventilated,
through the colums of a cert ain class of papers, most
of them supporters of the administration of President
Fillmore, who approred and signed the bill, that the
"law ii , r) never be fully enforced in Pennsylvania,"
with mu ch , snore of the, sante tenor; and also assur
ing'sinth.lllitives ss - this)sw 'reaches that it is "un
necessary" for them to "take up their line of march
for Caniuk," to escape its operation. This is all
wrong, an& , n,,ri true friend of the escaped slave ought
to glie such advice. They should tell the fugitive,
"The Constitutional injunction is against you—gral
is iinperative upon its, and we must obey it
when called opoc—the door is yet: open; go!" A
contrary course is hut carry log into effect the "high
er-lac" doctrines of Mr. Seuatur Seward, and must
result in much injury to those a ho preach it, as well
as those fur whose benefit it is preached. The lay
of the revolver and the bowie-knife, when adminis

mis
chievoos al s ki incendiary doctrine comes with yery
111-grace truly from thos'E who let no occasion slip
to prate about their love for the- "supremacy of the
law," and the "broad seal'' of the states and the ms
lion. It should be the highest privilege of an Amer-
lean citizen to yield obedience to the requirementsH
of the Con-tinnier', and:that Editor v. Ito C 011116041
lri z riqulers otherwise is totally unworthy of the lib
erty he thus basely abuses. If the Constitution and
law is deemed wrong, there is'a legal remedy; but 4
until that remedy. is applied, it_is the duty of et,ery''
citizen, no matter how much he may detest sldvery,'
to see that its requirements are fully and impartial
ly carried out. That Constitntion provides that "no
person held to service or labor in uue state, under
the laws thereof, anti escal:N . l; into another, shall,
In coirmence of any law or regulation therein, be
discharged from such service or labor, but shall be
deliee'red'ap On claim of the patty to whom stuck
labor or service may be due." Each state which
participated in the framing of that. Constitution, as
cell as each one Which has since entered the com—
pact, has agreed to support it in all it
,s provision;
and that agreement is binding upon every individual
citizen of those states. So lunges the üboveclanse
remains, its the Constitution, so long is it the duty of
t 12 ; 1850
Congress to pass suitable arid efficient laws for the
carrying "of it into effect. If-it is argued that a,
contrary course should he taken in regard to this ohe
provision, hecanse it may be against the %%kites or
