But one Hope of Averting Dissolution
Within The last few clays one ortwosu-
ostions lave made their appearance,
which, if adopted, and speedily carriod in
to cflect, may possibly avert the threaton
,(1 destruction of tho Republic, and all its
iiccompnnying horrors. Tho only one of
tin-so suggestion that has tho slightest
hope in it, is, tint a Convention of Dele
gates Tom all the Stales b held forthwith
in revise the Constitution, or rather, to
. teaily mark out th'j Towers nnd rights
of the respective States; nnd tho repeal.
by tho States, of all laws tending in any
.. .,
loirree to nbstruct tlio execution 01 1110
law provi.ling lor the restoration of fugi
tive slaves; and the enacting of a law in
.ach 8tato, providing that in nil cases
where a runaway slave tdiall bo reenptu-i-cil,
and rescued by violence, tho county
in which such rescue look place, shall be
li.iMe for costs nnd damages.
Vc sec no other plan no other hope.
M is possible this may efl'ect a lcconcilia.
lior.. Il is the onh choice. Ifour Republi
. an friends nro ready to retrace their steps
if they nro ready logo to work, nnd un
do tho wrongs thy have been blindly
. ommitting against the South, in violation
ofthe Con titulion, and in contempt of
. amnion justice, thry can avert what blh-j
Twite will be Our destruction.
Tt is idle for thoni to say, "let tho South
to; wo can do without thoni." Tbey do
not mew this for they know that one
-eparnliorj would beget nnother, until we
.hoidd li.ve, perhaps, ns many Republics
.".s wo now have Stales, Hut even if it
wok not so, tho North separated from Hits
nttlhi would be as weak and impotent as
iho most insignificant of Nations without
ommeroe without revenues--and totallv I
supported ny direct taxation. Wliercs
as a united people the South to produce,
and tho Jiorth to manufacture, for the
national consumption of each, wo catild
- ontinue, as we always have been, the
i,:iost piwpfrinp tuition under the Sun.
Uljforour Republican friends now to
f ay what shall bo done. Our fiilo is, in a
threat measure, in tlieir hands. What will
f.hoydoT
The Decree has Gone Forth.
A dark and gloomy future seems to
ierva:le tho political atmosphere of our
land discordant notes arc being founded
by tho lending demagogues in both the
North and tho South ; they ore healing the
political cauldron to its utmost capacity.
An almost unanimous voico salutes us
from (he b'oulli, calling upon their north
ern friendi and neighbors to live up to
-iind fully execute tho constitutional obli
gations that wo took upon ourselves from
tho hands of our ancestors. They demand
of us the repeal of nil Personal Liberty
Hills Which have been unconstitutionally
passed by a number of Northern Stales.
''.'lib they have a just right to nsk ; nnd in
justice to them and ourselves, wo nre
bound by everything thnt is nerod nnd
right., to repeal nil such obnoxious la'is.
The Boston Traveller, the lending Repub'
Mean orcnn in Massachusetts, calls upon
her citizens to pas3 another law more out
rageous than the ono already upon ho
htatule' book. As an indication of what
tho law is to be, we publish the form of n
Petition which U now being circulated
thruigliout thn. State, to wit :
"To the Ilonornble Sennte and House of
Representatives of the Commonwealth
of Massachusetts .-
Tho undersigned oiti?,ens of .Massa
rhusotts. respcctfullv ink vnu to put an
end to SLAVK-I1UNTING in Massachu
setts, by rnnctina that no person, who has
been held ns a Slave, shall bo delivered up,
by any officer of Court, State or Fede
ral, within this Commonwealth, to any
)no -claiming him on tho ground thnt he
)wes 'service or labor' to such claimant,
,-y tho laws of one of tho Slave States of
this lTnion.
The same paper stales, that if the Per
sonal Liberty Pi!l is repealed, tho Repub
lican party will be broken up. Hear him :
"The day on which (hot law shall ho re"
peeled, will eeo her Republican party go
to wreck."
So that double distilled tory and Irai-
tor traitor to bis fio'J nnd his country
Wm. Lloyd Ganison, replies ns follows:
TJ.nl remnvlr i. -ni !.-. Il,
..el.' Lot tho Republican part v show anv
a isi. 11.111111 i n no uiirj uit Uiu HUr
disposition to back down from its anti-
slavery professions, at the Southern over
soers. nnd it will be broken ns quickly ns a
rope of sand. It owes its success entirely
to those professions, nnd to nbnndon them
will bo certain defeat nnd nn everlasting
disgrace. 0
And then starts otT with the following
beautiful (?) description of his Soul horn
neighbors:
"They are inexorable ns death, and ns
insnttnio ns tne grave. I heir principles
aro those of liiryFars, hiyfaraymn and pi -
rate.', and thfirprnrtiersareayrra't deal trot'sc.
In support of their hellish flnve system,

very evistenec ot tlio North ; nor stop at
tho commission of nny crime, however
monstrous or devilish.
The itaiict nra our. Tho conclusion

publican party, is, thnt their party, ns a

Worthy of Consideration.
A Washington carcpondent ol the
rhilndelphia , Tms, says: '
Amonjj tho numerous propositions be-

.villi the lion. R. J. Walker, to the efl'ect

Congress." "' " -' -!.
Should Uus modo be adopted in tho fu
ture nnd nro hope it will it wcuhl most
etloctar.lly destroy any and all sectional par.
ties, whether in the North or in tho South,
and would bo tho death knell to all mcr
geographical organizations. It will, ulso"
most ctrectunlly hold in check huge ma
jorities, nnd is really the only Democratic

lion, Mr. Lincoln could never have been
elected to the Presidency, nor could here
after any exclusively sectional candidate
succeed.
It is true Mr. Lincoln has liec-n elected.
One million seven hundred thousand
citizens of theso United States have decla
red for him through tho popular voice;
on the other hand, two million seven hun
dred thousand votes have declared'ngainsl
! him thus electing him President with a
majority of ono million of votes against
linn in the popular count. Upon the oth
er hnnd, the electoral college gives him
three million two hundred and fifty thou
sand because nil tho electors are counted
for him. Representing llii. vote, in short,
the popular vote for Lincoln is about
1,700,(1(11), while tho electoral College gives
him .1,2"0,C0l, or nearly two to one.
"When wo view the case from a Denio-
crntic point, wo must conic lo tho conclu
s!on thnt Mr. Lincoln is not er tilled to i
the ivholo twenty-seven electors of Penn
sylvania; from the principle, above indica
ted he si ould have twenty-one ; which we
believe is tho number of opposition mem
bers of Congress from tho Slate. If it is
ijust and proper to elect Presidential clee
tors by a general ticket, it is equally just
to elect the Congressionnl delegation in
the sane way; but upon the other hand,
ifour mode of electing members of Con
gress is just nnd Democratic, let us so
amend and change our laws in reference
to the election of Presidential electors,
as to havo our system of Government more
perfect vnd harmonious.
The subject is well worthy the attention
of every citizen who feels a desiro to have
justioo and harmony prevail among us as
.a nation.
A Genuine Republican.
That Plack Republican enthusiast, Sen
ator Wilson, of Massachusetts, made a
speech last week in lloston, in which he
became more boisterous and threatening
thfn ever before. Republican political
theology was duly unmasked by him in
the following lucid stylo i

wo are to accept as conciliation harmo

about peace, we nro entirely mistaken in
thir character.
The camp-followers of this great chief
insist thnt they nre not Abolitionists:
thnt O'errit Smith, Wm. L. Carrison and
Wendell Thillips nro tho Abolitionists ;
thnt they are the espcoinl nr.d warm
friends of tho South. IF this in the fact,
why nro not such men ns Wilson, O id

Carl Schurz, the Rod-Republican de
structive nud demagogue, delivered n
speech last week nt Milwaukee, in which
ho uses tho following Inngungo

Tiii' and nothing more was done by the
act of lr."0. It simply gives "authority to

To repeal this provision, ns tho .ci'.r
propo-oi, (void. I hr- in KtieinnlHO this
e iiise in tho constitution and tho net for
ils enfoicoivent, ns unworthy of that sup
port to which all other laws are entitled.
This is. in tiuth, the just cause of trni
plamt which the South has against tlic
North. A law for the fulfilment of nil ex
press constitutional obligation is, in many
of the Slates, tho object of hostile legisla
tion, tho intent of which, carried out to va
rious degrees, is !o stigmatize- nnd nullify
what is entitled to the same respect, the
tame support ns any other law of tin Uni
ted Statos. It is, also to be noticed that
tho objection in question is a nheer pre
text. The call upon tho "posse coniitn.
tu-', " which in nil cases is antiquated and
unusual, has never, wo believe, boon re
sorted to in aid of tho Fngutivo Slnvo
ba,v. This law, like, oilier Liivs, I. as al
way ix-on executed by paid ollieers, and
we venture to say that in 110 sincle in
htnce have tho tellings or prejudices of
any private citizen been wounded by even
n c.ll on him for assistance. For tho re
fusal of it no special penalty is provided
by tho act of Congress of LHoO, as nny one
may see who will examine it. though tho
contrary is often assorted. Tho penalty
imposed by tho law is upon those who
"knowingly and wilfully" obstruct tli
: arrest, or nttemot the roscnof a tu Mitive.
