By woRDSWORTH, Up to the throne of God is borne The voice of prat=e at early morn. And he accepts the punctual hymn. Sung as the light of day grows dim. Nor will he turn his ear aside From holy offerings at noontide Then here reposing, let us raise A song of gratitude and praise. What though our burthen be not light, We nerd not toil from morn till night ; The respite of the mid-day hour Is in the thankful creature's power. Best are the moments--doubly blest— That, drawn from this one hour of rest, Are with a ready he:in bestowed Upon the service of our God! Why should we craves hallowed spot! An altar is in each man's cot, A church in every grove that spreads Its roof above our heads. Look up to heaven! the industrious sun Already half its ra.:!e bath run : cannot halt. nor go astray, Hut our tuaraurtal spirits may. Lord! since his rising in the east If we have faltered or transgressed, Guide, fruin thy love's abundant source, What yet remains of this day's course ; Help with thy grave through life's short day. Our upward and our downward way ; glortf; for us the west, NI nen we shall sink to final rest. V olitical. APPEAL Of the Independent Democrats in Con gress to the People of the V.

The original settled policy of the United States, clearly indicated by : the : Jefferson proviso of 1784, and by the ordinance of 1787, was non-extension of slavery. In 1803, Louisiana was acquired by porch's from France. At'that tune there were some twen ty-five or thirty .thousand slaves in that territory, most of them within Whit is now the state cil Lon isiana ; a few, only, hiniter north, on the west ba4k 01 the Mississippi. Congress, instead of providing for the abolition of slavery in this new territory, permitted its continuance. In 1812, the state of. Louisiana was organized, and admitted into the Union with slavery. In 1818, six years later, the inhabitants of the territory of Missouri applied to Congress for au thorny to form a state constitution, and for admis sion into the Union. There were, at that time, in the whole territory acquired from France outside of the state of Louisiana, not three thousand slaves. There was no apology in the circumstances of the country for the con tinnance of slavery. The original national policLwas against it, and, not lets, the plain language of the treaty under which the territory had been acquired from France. It was proposed, therefore, to incorporate in the bill authorizing the formation 41 - a state government, a proviso requiring that the constitution ?lithe new state should contain an article providing for the abo lition of existing slavery, and prohibiting the further introduction of slues: This provision was vehemently and pert.na ciously opposed ; but finally prevailed in the House 01 Representatives by a decided vote. In the Sen ate it was rejected, and, in consequence of the disagreement between the two Houses, the bill was lost. At the next sesiion of Congress the controvert' was renewed with increased violence. It was ter minated, at length. by• a compromise Missouri was allowed to come into the Union with slavery, but a section was inserted in the act auihorizing her admission, excluding slavery; forever, from all the territory acquired from_ France. not included to iht.. new state, lying north of 36° 30' . We quote the prohtbitory section : "Sex- 8. Be it further enacted, That in all that territory ceded to France try the United States, un• der the name of L'-uisiana, which Iles north of 36° anti 30' of north ,i;itinle, not included within the limits of the stale entoemplate4 by this act slavery and invo.uwary serei.ude, otherwise than as the punishment of crimes, shall be and is hereby for ever foribibited " The qttest.nn of the censtihationality of this pro' : i! strt , mitteJ by Plegaleni Monroe to hts cabinet..

Nothing is more certain than that this prohtbi , ton has been regarded sad accepted by the whole can't try as a solemn compact Against the extension of slavery into any part of the territory acquired from France, lying north of 96 deg 30 min., and not in chided in the new state of Missouri. The same act—let it be ever remembered—which authorized the formation of a constitution for the state, without a clause forbidding slavery, consecrated, beyond question and beyond honest recall, the whole re mainder ot the territory to freedom and free uistitu (ions forever. For more than thirty years—during more than hall the period of our national existence under our present constinition—this compact has been universally regarded and acted upon as invio lable American law. In conformity with it, lowa was admitted as a free state, and Slinesota has been otgahized as a free' territory. It is a strange and ominous fact, well calculated to awaken the worst apprehensions, and the most fearful forebodings of future calamities, that it is now deliberately . purpmed to repeal this prohibi tion, by implication or directly—the latter, certain ly, the manlier way—and thus to subvert dale corn; pact, and allow slavery in all the yet unorganized territory. We cannot, in this address, review the various pretences under which it is attempted to cloak this monstrous wrong;.but we-must not &Wogs:her omit to notice one. It is said that the territory of Nebraska sustains the same relations to slavery u did the territory ac quired from Mexico prior to 1850, and that the pro-slavery clauses of the bill are necessary to carry into effect the complomiees of that ;ear. No assertion could be more groundless. Three scipsinons of terntory have been made tl treaty. The first was from France. Out of this territory have been crewed the three slave states of Louisiana, Arkansas, and Missouri, and the single tree state of losia. The controversy which arose in relation to the then unorganized portion of this territory was closed in 1820, by the Missouri act, containing the slavery prohibition, as has been al ready stated. This controversy related only to ter ritory acquired from France. The ad, by winch it was terminated, was confined, by its own express tithes, to the &IMO territory, and had no relation -.. • to Amy miter, • The second acgoisitioa was from Spain. Flori da, the territory thus acquired, cas prettied to eh% very without a soiree', and alinnst without a mor• MU- The -third :was trout Mexico - The controversy which arose from this acquisition is fresh in the re membrance of-the American people.

They must slander tall by-their own merits. The statesmen whose powerful Salmon vistried the Utah and New Mericoacteynever dreamed that their provisions would ever be appltetirta Nebras ka. 'Even at the last session. Of Congress; Mr. Atchi son, of Missouri, in a.speeeb in favor of taking up the former Nebraskabill, on•the prom ing of the 4th of March, IBsi, said " is evident that the Mis souri Compromise cannot be repealed. So far as that question is concerned, we might as well agree to the admission of this territory now, as nextyear, or five or ten years hence." • These words could not-have fallen from this watchful guardian of sla very, had he supposed that this territory was em braced by the pro-slavery provisionaof the compro mise acts. This pretension had not then been set up It is a palpable after-thonVir. The eMnprom lie acts themselviii ref Ute this pre tensinn• In the third article Of the second section of the joint re, , olniion for annexing Tens to the United Stites. it is °sprat's!) , declared that 4. in such state or stales as shall be formed-out of said Mis souri compromise line,. slavery or itivoltmtary ser vitude, except fin crime, shall tie prohibited;" (*) and in the act for organ rzing New Mexico and set tling the boundary of Texas, a proviso was 'lvor poratetC on the motion of Mr. Mason, of Virginia, which distinctly preserves this prohibition,and flouts the bare•faced pretension that all the territory of the United States, whether south or north et the Missou ri compromise line, is to be °pewit) elti*ery: It is as follows: " Provided, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to impair or qualify anything contain. ed in the thtru article of the second section:of the joint resolution for annexing Texas to the United States, approved March 1, 1815, either as regards the number of states ihat may hereafter be formed out of ;he state of Texas, or oiherwtre " (t) Here is proof. bey'nd controversy, that the prin ciple of the Missouri act prohibiting slavery north of 36 deg 30 min , far from being abrogated by the compromise acts, is expressly affirmed; and that the proposed repeal of Nit prohibition, instead of being an affirmation of the compromitte acts, is a repeal of a very prominent provision of the most important act of the series. It is solemnly declared in the very compromise acts " that nothing herein confroned shall be construed to impair or palify" the prohibition of slavety north of 36 deg 30 min., and yet, in the face of this declaration, that settled prohibition is said to be overthrown. Cad lire sumpion Ruttier go ! To all who, in any -way, lean upon these compromises, we commend this exposition. The pretences,. therefore, that the territory, cov ered by the positive prohibition of 1820. sustains a similar relation to slavery with that acquired from Mexico, covered by no prohibition except that of disputed constitutional or Mexican law, and that the compromises o 1 1850 require the Incorporation of the pro-slavery elauses or the IJish and New Mexico bill in the Nebraska act, are mere inven tions, designed to cover up from public reprehen sion meditated bad fittih. Were he living now, no one would be more forward,i,more eloquent, or more indignant, in his denunciation of that bad faith, than Henry Clay, the foremost champion of both corn prom is el. in Me, the slave slates eiid to the free ',Wes, admit Mi-souri with slavery, and refrain from positive exclusion south of 36 deg 30 min , and we will jolt you in perpetual prohibition north of that line." The free states consented. In 1854, the slave states say to the,!ee states," Missouri is ad mined : no prrthibirion of slavery south of 36 deg 30 min has been attempted ; vrehaverecrivrtlthe lull consideration ot,our agreement; no more is to be vained by adherence to ,t on our part; we, there fore, ; ropose to cancel the compact It this be not Pomo faith, what is it!
