..Barnburner.” And what did I go to N: York for
last surnmer,but to use my utmostexertions to prevent
Mr. Van Buren, and his friends, from engaging in
ilieJluffalo convention? I went there, that>s cer
tain. My public speeches 'thew that I wen for tha
' object, and the newspapers in the intereatof the*
called barnborners, all assailed me for doing so, no
with billingsgate, media blackguards ; but with keen
reproaches for coating out of my State, contrary to
the practice of my life, to interfere in the politic
of another State, and that against those who had al
ways been my friends. My answer was, that I
came to use the privilege of an old friend—to giv i
my opinion that the separate organization contempla
ted was wrong in principle, and would be injuriou
to those evened in it; and, what was more, inju
rious to thegreat party to which they belonged.
Such was the object of my visit to New York, and
such my reception. The event disappointed my
hopes and expectations, and I had my trouble fo
4 my pains, and a good deal of newspaper condemns
don into the bargain. Al) this was public and n
, torious, published in all the newspapers, andlinown
to every body. There is not a man io Missouri,
that does not know it. And now, what are we to
think of the language applied to met Why, that it
is a most excellent thing for me. It chews the

• and falsify public recorded history, to 'Miry me.
"The Wilmot Proviso?' Well! I think it is the
I Jeffersonian proviso—the Same that Mr. Jefferson
drew up for the north western territory in 178
which was adopted in the congress of the concede
ration is 1781, with the unanimous voice of the .
slave-holding states—was ratified by the Vtrginia
General Assembly the 30th of December 1188—
which was applied by the congress of 1820 to all the
upper ballot' Louisiana—which was applied by the
congress of 1848 to the Oregon territory—which was
recommended for the new territories by the Missou
ri General Assembly, February 15tb, 1847—and ne
ver attempted to be condemned until Friday (a day
of omens the 19th ofFebruary, 1847 just four day
after the date of the Missouri recommendations
when Mi. Calhoun brought in his resolutions d
claring it to be unconstitutional, insulting to th
Stately and subversive of the Union. I think Mr.
Jefferson, and not Davy Wilmot, was the author o
this proviso, and that it should bear his name, and
'not Davy's. With respect to the character of th
proviso, if it should be prescribed by congress fo
thy new territory, it think it wits just remain what it
has been for sixty years—a constitutional provision
made in pursuance to the constitution ; and that,
mg so made it is binding upon all law abiding citi
ens, and that its resistance by force and arms, mil •
itarilY, would be high treason against the Unite
States, and punishable with death by the laws of the
land. With respect to the expedieecy of the act
there is no necessity for it, and there are prudential
reasons why it should .not be passed. California and
New - Mexico are now free from slavery both by Law
Ind hi , fact; and will larder remain free from it
both by law and in fact. As a general proposition
unnecessary laws ought not to be passed but if i
Is passed, it is an empty provision, having no practi
al effect whatever. To make an Woe °guest i
between the north and south, is unwise, for it is a
issue about nothing ,and on the part of the south an
,ssue made for defeat, for Dela stare has instructed
for it; and that insures a majority in the Senate fo
dm 'proviso, there being a large majority in th
House of Representatives instructed for it.
But there is a stronger reason to claim forbear
thee: . This proviso is the last card in Calhoun'
hind! his last stake in the slippery game which h
has been playing. Take that last card from biro, and
his game is up—bankruptcy comes upon him—po
:Weal bankruptcy—arid lie must be driven to take
the act- He will have to haul down his sign—close
his doorsr-shut his shop—and give in a schedule o
big effects and stock in wide; and a beautiful ached-,

hp,public acts of paliticizen.have stoodsfor their
opinions; it has been only the t,ew men, unknown
by their acts:flint have been subjected to political
catechism..; Thirty years, almost, J have been in
the Senate; and during that time have alwais been
a voter, And often a speaker on this subject of sla
very; and commenced with it in my own State. I
was politically born,ent" of tt slave agitarion—ou
of the blissormi restriction controversy ;; nod have
acted an open part on it from the-time it began to
the.present day: MyWritings had some , influence
of the formation of the ,the. constitution in this
tate,-,•They were pretty well known then,thongb
fdrgetten now. They. contributed to keep off re•
atriction; and to insert the clause in the constitn
tiou for the sanction at slavery. I urged"the put
ting it in the constitution, for. the express pyrpose
.f•giving security to Property, and preventing ag
itation. I wanted peace from the miestion at
home, and contributed .to provide for-it, by contri
bating to put that clause in the constitution; and
.ow it is hard that we should have an agitation
imported, or transported upon us, to harass us
about slavery, when we have taken such core to
keep out agitation.
,My votes in congress have
been consistent with my conduct at home—non.
interference, no agitation—security to property
and tranquility to the people. * In thirty years I
have not given a vote thathas been corriplained of
I have voted thirty years avoiding all extremes,
and giving satisfaction years;
Old generation, und
the generation that has been born during that
time, ought to consider this, so far as to let it stand
as the' evidence of My opinions. But, it will not
. o. Finding nothing in the past to condemn
orne people must go , into futurity, to see if any
thing can be found there! an I even into my bosom
to see if anything is hid there, which can be con
demned. Very good; they shall know my opin
ions. And first, they may see them in my public
acts—in my proposals for the admission of Texas.
.ve years ago, in which I proposed to limit the
western extension of slavery• by a longitudinal line
I believe the lOOdth degree of west lorigitude
next in my votes upon the Oregon bill, in which
1 opposed the introduction of slavery thera—and,
again in my letter to the people of Oregon, in
which I declared myself to be no. propagandist to
slavery. These were public acts. But you want
public declarations of personal sentiments; very
ood; you shall have them. My personal sent:
merits, then, are againet the institution of slavery
and against its introduction into places in which
it does not exist. If there was no slavery in Mis
sour: to day, I should oppose its coming ill; it there
was none in the United: States, I should oppose
its coming into the United States; as there is none
in New Mexico or California I am against sendin:
it to those territories, and could not vote for sue.
a measure:—a declaration which costa tie but lit
tie, the whole dispute now being about the abstract
riht of carrying slaves there without the exercise
of the right. No one asks for a law for the exer
cise of the right, and cannot ask it in the face o
the dogma which denies the power to grant it .
States do as they pleaae. These are my principl
and they reduce the difference between Mr. Cal
houn and myself to the difference between refu
• ing and not asking. And for this the Unionist.
be subverted! Obl metaphysics! political meta.
physics! far better stick to the innocent busines
of amending the constitution by patting three
'tales and a river together.
If any one wishes to know still more about my
principles on slavery, I will givelim a reference:
he may find them in Tucker's edition of Black
:tone's Commentaries, (appendix to the second
volume, where I imbibed them forty-four ye
ago, when a student at law, and have held fast t.
them ever since—all but the remedy; and the dif
ficulty of that is one of the evils itself, of slavery
and one of the arguments against one set of peopl
and especially while they are lifting their imptor
tog hands against it., •
To finish this personal exposition, I have to say
that my profession and conduct—no unusual thing
with frail humanity--do not agree. I was born
to the inheritance of slaves, and have never been
without them. I have bought some, but only on
their own entreaty, and to save them from exerts
don sales; I have sold some, but only (or miscon•
duct. I have had two taken from me by the ab.
olitionista, and never inquired after them, and lib
erated a third who would not go with them. 1
ate slaves now in Kentucky, who were elevated
to the dignity of real estate, by being moved from
Missouri to Kentucky; and will have to descend
next fall to the low degree of a chattel interest, in
spite of the laws of Kentucky, when I shall re
move them back to Missouri. And I have slaves
in Washington City—perhaps the only member of
Congress that Pei any there—and am not the least
.fraid that Congress will pass any law to affect
this properly either there or here.
I have made no slave speeches in Congress, and
o not mean to make them. Property is timid
and slave property above all. It is not right to
.isturb the quietude of the owner—to harms' him
with groundless apprehensions. It is a private
wrong to dieturb a
,single individual, by makin .
him believe, untruly, that his property is insecure.
It becomes a public evil to disturb a whole corn.
munity. It creates a general uneasiness, generate
animosities, deranges business, and often leads to
hasty and Improvident legislation. I have seen no
. anger to the slave property'of any State in thi
Union by ll* action of Congress, and cannot con
tribute to aTrirrn the country by engaging in die.
cessions which assert or imply danger.
But I have a still higher reason for not engagin -
to these discussions. We are a republic—the head
of that form of government--and owe a great ex
ample to a struggling and- agonized world. All
the American States of Spabish origin, in spite of
the difference of religion, language, manners, cus
tome, have imitated our example, Europe is now
atlempiing to imitate it. Liberty is now strug
-ling in ancient empires,and her votaries are look
mg to us for the exemplification of the blessings
at which she is in search, and for an argument in
favor of her efforts; what do they see 'I wrangling
and strife, and bitter denunciations and threats of
eparation. They see a quarrel about slavery! t•
hem a strange and incomprehensible cause of
march They see slavery and disunion coupled
in one eternal wrangle. - They see us almost in I.
state of disorganization—legislation paralyzed
istant territories left without government—insult,
violence ' outrage on the floors of Congress—dis
union threatened. Their hearts are chilled at this
' sad spectacle; their enemies rejoice at it: and by
every mail ship that leaves our shores the repre
sentatives of the crowned heads of Europe send
forth the record of our debates to encourage the
enemies, and to confound the friends of freedom.
France—all parts of Italy—even the papal States;
all parts of Germany—even the old and gloom
empire of Austria; all, are struggling for liberty,
and turning anxious looks to us for aid and sue
cor, not by arms,-for that they know to be impos.
sible, but tor the moral aid of a grand, example
They look in vain. 4 Our example is against them;
and if the present struggle for liberty shall again
miscarry in Europe, we may take to ourselves a
Large share of the blame. Once called the model
republic by our friends, we are now so called io
derision by our foes; and the slavery discussions
arid ditsensions quoted as the proofs of the imprac
ticable form of government which we have adopt
ed. I cannot engage in such discussions, nor do
any thing to depress the cause of struggling free
om throughout .Europe, Nor can I disparage
the work, or abuse the gift of our ancestors. Never
has there appeared upon earth abodi of men who
left a richer inheritance, or a nobler -example to
their posterity. Wisdom, modesty, decorum, for
beerance, dignity, moderation, pervaded all thei
works, and characterized all their conduct. They
conducted a revolution with the order 'of an old
established government; they founded a new goy-
erennent'orith. the wisdom of sages; they admin
istered it in their day with temperance and judg
ment.- They lett us the admiration, and the envy
of the friends of freedom throughout the world
And are we, their pcsterity, in the second , genera

work—discredit this great example—and throw
the weight of the republic against the friends o
republicanism in their deadly struggle. 'I cannot

Glabernatorat Sneer at the Anti-Masons
. • ofAlieutteneyi County..
It 1. well known. that Governor Johnson was a
Democrat during the existence, ef Antimasonry.
.1
is not certainly known whether he was a 'Mason, he
he had no love for: Antimesfinry, which was the o.
ly formidable enemy. to Democracy until it Wa.
swallowed op by Wltiggery, by a process almost a.
surprising as if jonah. bad swallowed the whale.
Recently, however, there was a Coovention hold In
Allegheny county, the name Anlimatonie was re
rived for the occiaioa,as it is annually done about
election times; resolutions were passed recognizing
every Whig principle most fully, but passing over
the °nip distinctiie Antimasonic principle, with the
most significant silence. A committee was appoint
ed to invite the Governor here. The committee'
sign themselves "The Committee of the Antimason
ic arid Whig Convention." Goveroor Johnson in
his reply reeogniies them as such in the dire.ctmoo
This letter, but in the body of that epistle, he treat
litoriansonry with the same significant silence, with
which it is always treated here by. whig managers,
from the second Tuesday of October every year
until May following.. .
In his reply be . callarlihnself a "Whig wag'
trate," and talks abodt "helding communion wi
the people of a .county celebrated throughout
Union for their.iteady and undeviating support or
the Whig parti.# . . • .
The Governor!probably - still retains - some of his
old Democratic, ; perhaps Masonic, dislike for th
Antimasonie pary, and although he could not . ‘4ll
avoid giving thr - committee- the same name whit
hod been given fb them by the Convention., yet h
carefully avoids using that name a second time.
Ho calls the Convention "a Convcniion of Lie fel.
loui.ciaaerts," as if it embraced men ot all p.:rties
He calls himself "a Whig magistrate," although a
argo majority of his supporters were Antimasons
and talks about their "steady and undeviating no
port of the Whig party," although from 1829 dove
to 1841, the Whigs have more frequently united with,
the Democrats than with the Antimafia", and *Ube'
for year after year the great efforts ot the "Whig
party" here was to embarrass and defeat the Anti
masonic party by divisions. For instance, by nom
inating Antinanions on a Whig ticket to divide the
stimasonic party, and thus insure the triumph of
Governor Jehnson , s early friends. Ms excellency,
I suppose, thinks the defeat of /Intimations was p
'udicious mode of supporting the Whig party, will
ided the Democratic, to which he then belonged: .•;'
"Steady and undeviating support," says the covi
rimer, in his letter to a Convention which had just
nominated Hays and Morrison on the same ticket;
although they had once been opposing candidates,
the former nominated by an Antimasonic canna.
relation ; the latter by a Whig gathering.
"Steady and undeviating support? . although a
Whig convention bad once nominated this same Dr.
Hays ibr the purpose of dividing the Antimasons and
securing the triumph of the Democratic candidate; a
maemuvre which Dr. Hays defeated by spurning
with contempt the unworthy artifice of Masonic
Whiggery.
"Steady and undeviatingsupport," although John
,Morrison"steaddy and uoderiatiogly labored to de.
Meat the only steady and undeviating" enemy of the
Democratic party in this country, by denouncing
Antimasonry no a humbug. Snunn.
The exports of specie from Now York, since
the first of January last,amounted to $1,093,2.10 7s .
he imports during the same period exceeded
three times this amount, and since last January
he receipts of specie at 'Boston Wive been nearly
to the same amount. The arrival of the store
ship Lexington, from San Francisco, with twelve
hundred and eighteen Pounds Of , gold ,slust, equal
in value to about $230,000, adds largely to the
imports. It appears by the__ report of the purse
of the Lexington, that sixteen hundred and
_sev
enty-six pounds of gold were shipped at San Fran•
ciscO, four hundred and Oftireigbt pounds of which,
were landed at Valparaiso, and the balanc - e, as
above, brought to this port:• Thowhole shipment
was valued at $870,000,.: We do: know bow'
