If any good has grown out o its delibpratiens, we have been unable to dis Cove r. i' ' The ostensible object of this convention was to form a leagie or ccombination of Stinthetn interests, to oppose the efforts er the North to prevent : the spread of Slayeay over soil already free. ;It il. evi dent that.the,coavention was neither harmonious nor nnanimous-in its deliberations, from the fact that the address put forth was barely adopted bra • Meagre majority. ,As to the cause of difference, we Or nenimf are unadvised; as the Convention sat with. closed doerener; do we :care: : , :The ineviiblit' cantequenee'tesultitig from this Southern' move- , meet will be, to force the people of the North to . bet.omemare unyielding anddetermined in oppotii. tion to the South and.southern interestaandinfluen;. cee. These extremes of opinion •only produce vi -1 olence, anf disturb the harmony of out beloved i Union: Mt ch as We despisethe ultra ranaticaofthe North, we lave an equal abhorence • for the fanat ics. . and hot-sppis . of,the South. ' As to the questionof Slavery in the new territo ties, we. consider it as .settled long since. New Mexina;ainlCalifornia became the property or the United* Statoi, in consequence * or the late war. Slavery did not exist there previous to the adoption of the Treaty. of Guadaloupe; and as a matter of course the political ielations of the people contin . ned until changed by positive Congressional coact-. meets. The Slave who sets his foot upon ;the' soil of New Mexico or California becomes, eo instanti, a freeaiati,--aS much so - sail be comes , into -Ohio or Pennsylvania. For all practical purposes, there fore, the ~ Wilmot Proviso," as it is called, is now in operation. We have always considered that measure as unnecessary and uncalled for,--calcula ted to excite the South, and disturb the peace and harmony of the Union. If the subject of Slavery is kept out of Congress, the South is satisfied—she is willing to leave the question where the Constitution leaves it.., Our Southern brethren do not expect to see Slavery introduced into New Mexico or Califor nia; but they are opposed to every thing that : ap pears like an 'ovule's of their constitutional rights. We say to the North, hands oir---Slavery will t rey._ er Gilead over aniither foot of free soil. Its tiounda flea have been - fixed—they cannot be altered. If we ever had the. least apprehension that Slavery would be introduced into our new territories, the tide of populption now flowing into the gold regions of California, from the Nottb, would forever re move them from our mind. - We say to the' South,—the warm-hearted, chival. ,:roux South, -keep cool, and don't allow yourselves to become excited 'or alarmed unnecessarily.

It is a dew thing to find a Whg, paper advocating' the election of Judges by the people. Only a year or two since; such a proposition was denounced by the Whigs as " ultra," " Agrarian," " Radical," and " Infidel." But as soon as a measure becomes popular, the: Whigs are:certain to adopt It as their own, notwithstanding they May have assailed it with out limits 'previously. The Gazette, of this city, and other Whig papers, are now advocating the Na tional Reform doctrinee of the Democrat's.' We AO' - doubtless find the Gazette shortly advocating the, election of Judges by the people. We should like to hear the Deacons opinion on the subject. Steubenville Moving.

ADDRESS, Delivifict'before the Phileitehl<pitilUtey':"Decetn, - •- Silt; 1818, the 21st Annitseisd4.' Moonazati. Wo Kes'ent our ,acknowtOkeryitnits",tik some Un known: friend for a coiy,o(..the above Address. The mihiepf the author is to most of. OUT citizens, as he once filled the office of Prosecuting Attorney for this county. lie is now ; a resident of. New Port, Perry county: • ' • ' ' We _have pored over the passages of the pamph7 let, not hastily, as is often purcystoin,but with con slderable attention, for we ezpected to find much that was neve Midlinelrfits Pages, and were not die•, appointed. He chose a prolific therne-,7Counaor. ; and he handled his subject with the:still of an ex- ; .erienced mind worker. lie had evidentlyimhibed - . . . . .. . that progressive spirit which characterizes the young men of this age, and which is sweeping away old forms and antiquated absurdities. • The subject is , new, but understood only by those - Whose :ntinde have been trained to thinking—to courageous think= ~. . . ing. We wish that this Address could be generally read by our people. ; We commenced by malting ex tracts for "copy," but when we reached the end, we found that we hid alinoit the entire of , the little work marked out. It is all good; it grand to say the least. The difference between moral and physical cour age •is faithfully' depicted ; it is the difference be. tween the courage of adog and that of a true man , The aim of the speaker seems to be-:to prove that he Who has the courage to 'right even though disgrace may be his meed, is the :true-hero. We give an extract touching:due point But Idt us shilt:the scene, and suppose that the outward circumstances which surround a man. are opposed to his inward sense of right ; suppose that the path of duty, reads him not to popularity, but to disgrace ; steppes° him to be endeavoring to stem the current of popular error, and in danger of being overwhelmed by ; suppoie that the shouts of ap plause which he has, so well loved to hearer° turn ed into hisses and execrations ; entree that hesees around him enemies exulting- with joy, and friends banging their heads in shame and confusion ; sup pose his conduct condemned, hie motives impugned, and a pitiless storm of contempt and indignation de scending upon his unsheltered head ;'suppose him to bear those extremities alone, without one friend ly hand to aid, or (melded - voice to cheer him, and suppose.that whilst. these evils are present and cer tain, the hope of juatice ie distant und precarious, and his only sure reward is a sense of duty per . formed, and of principle maintained.. The man who does not flinch under these circumstances, but remains firm at thepost of duty,. he is the true hero; and this is the kind of courage which I 'would have you admireand cultivate.: It It is related by Prince Eugene, that " when, in one of his campaigns, he was on the point of cap• taring a city , his plans were defeated-by the false delicacy of a•Lieutenant Colonel, whoin he had di rected to enter as a courier with some others; and who, being unable to endure a caning, from an over seer of the ,works of the ;dace, ordered him to be fired upon and thus gave the alarm to the garrison. This," he adds," was indeed insisting very Iltifea• 801111bly - Oil a . point of honor; had we succeeded he wouldrather have been envied than reproached for it." This example illustrates one or the leading diatinctione between moral and physical courage.— This Lieutenant .Coloncfmay have been as brave as a lion; a man who could be in the frent of the bat tle and foremost in mounting the breach : but he was unable to took beyond the present moment, and en dure,e little temporary disgrace for the sakq of tic complishing important minim This is, indeed, the ordinary test of. moral'courage. It is usually • dis tinguished from physical courage by requiring an exertion of intellect. It looks forward and calcu lates consequences. It forbears and retires," and bides its time." It is not the _courage of a weak man, of an • ignorant than, nor a man of impulse ; but peculiarly belongs to the man of sound judg ment, of a cultivated intellect, and of regulated passions. Conservatism gets a " side wipe win the follow- ing _ In this propensity to adhere to established Rya- VMS, end to follow popular opinion, or which I have been speaking, it is that the want of moral courage mast frequently shows itself. In an army of ten thiousand men you perhaps will not find a sin gle coward on the day of battle : but m the same number of public and professional men, how ma ny will you find courageous enough to support an unpopular apiniun t The brave, in the field of ac tion will be found. as scarce a lmost' s the cow cowards in the other. The courage which always swims withthe current is a vulgar quality ; it is that ilarivrte`ifterri the-terrent , that- ileierverr youe- admiration: A celebrated poet caps the Climax of his description :of -Courage by representing hie . 4 fearing , bot the name of tear." Now it is to be observed that this 'eulogy itself contains an imputa tion of moral cowardice, since it implies that he did fear . the name of fear."' The true hero will rice above even that, and perform his duty in spite oral) imputations. Yet such is the dread' of unjust cc n ame that wig often the severest trial of a General's Courage to order a retreat; of a Suites:earl's to aban• dap an unwise policy, of a Physician's to withhold a pernicious remedy ; of a Judges to reverse an un just decision.; of a Sectarian's to abandon an un rigeteous creed. Mr. Moorhead argues forcibly agairrt the" right of instruction." We do not say that we agree with him, but we confess there is something more than empty sophistry in what he says. We regret we have not space for all his remarks upon this featly important subject. We content ourselves with the annexed extract; and urge all our readers who de sire to " hear him out," to get.a copy of the Ad dress itself : It would seem to be incredible, that any reasona. ble man should have read the Debates in the Fed eral Convention, as reported by Mr. Madison;-with out having his mind forever set at rest on this sub ject.ll e will there find, that the principle upon which this right is clalmed—that the representative should alwaye reflect the immediate will of his con stituentsc!ris one of the' ery things . which the fram-. era of the Constitution were most auzioue to avoid. Such a government would, in effect, be a pore Dem ocracy ; but that most. assuredly in not the govern ment they meant to, establish. It is related of Phil lip of. Macedon, that on a certain occasion, when engaged in a debauch, be uujustly sentenced one of Ids subjects todenth. His victim immtuliately cried out, 4. I appeal ! " To whom do you appeal." said the aetonisbed monarch. " I appeal," was the answer, "from Phillip drunk to Phillip sober." Now , this' precisely illustrates what the framers of the Federal Constitution intended should be done. They. intended that when the people , were drunk with excitement, and rashly bent upon some unjust or impolitic measure, they should be:a body of sia-: her, wise and• virtuous men, occupying an indepen dent position,and possessing power enough to roe'. train their headlong frenzy. Hence the long term or office which they conferred on the Senators.— But if the Right of Instruction be allowed , to pre veil, their precautions ,were entirely vain ; and the policy of the government will be directed by,the first Wild impulse instead of the " sober second thought " of the people. Mr. Harper—The ifiqUiry now is, who will be the nondeee.of the democratic party for Canal Corn, missioher Permitme to offer . tothe consideration of the eonvention; which will meet in July next, the name. of Capt.• Jour; Bointivoitais; of Allegheny County, who, I believe, would be the man, of all others, for that important station. Capt. Birmingham has been a faithful and consist ent democrat, from - boyhood up, without much to encourage him except the satisfaction of knowing that the wholesome principles of the party prevail throughout ocr country, and that he assisted in esta blishing and perpetuating those principles, by ,his votes , - and influence. He has maintained a standing in the ranks of tho democracy to which few have any claim.; indeed, I know:of no , one*rho has stood up and battled for the party so long and so faithfully, and who is at the same time so competent to fill any station in the gift of the people of this commonwealth, who 'has not been brought' forward and supported •for high stations.

En roe.—An editor should possess a liberal ‘education and eitensive knowledge of the world. He should be a gentleman in taste, feelings, and habits. His mind - should . be stored With the lure of antiquity, and with - the learning of the mod. Sin schools. The annals of the world, should be as familiar to him as the history of his own country. His comprehensive intellect should grasp all great 4uestions which aline in politics, literature, arts and sel ees He should be a connoisseur in Poetry, Painting, Music: and the Drama -, and of these, his cultivated'taste, should enable him to disaern the beadties, and to detect the faults. Knowing that perfection can never be attained by. mortals, lie shoutd extol and encourage all approaches to excel lence in the arts. By genii% pointing out error, he feellhaltall,,govic.farz to amend it, and he applies : the lash of censure to nothing but vice. No mai, attempts inbribe him, for; like .CMsar"s wife, be is . .- above .suspicion. ,Personal ,above ; or vituperative recrimination finds no'place in his columns. His arm is stretched forth to succor the distressed, and' shield the defenceless. Conscious of the power:of the vast engine he controls, his forbearance emu lates. the magnanimity of Jovei and lie hurls his thunderbolts only at the heads of the' guilty. Twenty years of my life have been spent in efforts to elevate the Theatra, and I believe it is acknowl edged by all who know ate that no'tnan ko oly pro fession has done .more' than myself to purge the Drama of its dross, and bring it op to the highest standard of moral excellence.: • • ati3l C.
