MR, VAN BUREN'S LETTER
TO IRE BAIRNBURNERN ' COAiIENTION.
We have received a copy of the letter of Ex-
President Van Buren, in answer to a eomnionica
tion from the N. Yeak city delegation to the Bal
timore Convention. To the proper understand
ing of the answer, it is only necessary to copy
from the letter addressed to him the following
passages :
"The great Jeffersonian doctrine now
boldly repudiated at the South, and by too
many tamely surrendered at the North.
tthat slavery or involuntary servitude should
Inot, by any action of the Federal Govern
ment, be extended to the free territories of
this Union, deserves, in connexion with
other and time-honored doctrines of the
Democratic party, to be represented by a
! standard bearer of the highest encomium
1 for ability and worth, and such a one, you
will permit us to say, we shall present in
you, should we be authorized to name you
as a candidate for the consideration of the
convention."
The letter of Mr. Van Buren covers two and a
half closely primed columns tithe New York Com
mercial Advertiser. The Ord column of his let
ter M a review of the proceedings of the National
Democratic& Convention, with regard to the Now
York Delegates, coming to the conclusion that the
Barnbumen were excluded on account of their
anti-slavery views. Ho closes this section of his
argument as follows :
"1 cannot, under such circumstances, re
frain from concurring with you in the opin
ion that the decisions of that convention
are in no degree binding upon the demo
cracy of this State, or entitled to any oth
er weight in their estimation than as an ex
pression of the wishes and opinons of re
spectable portions of their political associ
ates and friends in other States, qualified,
as their expression is, by theses by which
it has been accompanied." '
That portion of his levier in regard to slavery
will be read with general interne, and we thereßne,
give it entire :
You deslre my views in regard to the
prohibition by Congress, of slavery in ter
ritories 'Where it'

On all sides the most oxpeditiouemeans
to carry on this pollei were adopted with
alacrity and good' feeling, Their first act

GETTYSBURG, PA. FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 7, 1848;
into the North-west. l territory, now cbver
'ed by the States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Michigan, and Wisconsin.. This may
justly be regarded as being, in the main, a
'Southern measure. The subject was first
brought fortiard in Congress by Mr. Jeffer
son. Virginia made the cession of territory
upon which the ordinance was intended
to operate, and the representatives from
all the slave-holding States gave it a unan
imous support. Doubts have arisen in
the minds of some whether the ordinance
of 1787 was authorized by the articles of
the confederation. A bill was introduced
in the new Congress at its first session un
der the constitution, reilognizing and adapt
lag itfto the new organization, and it has
ever since been considered as a valid act.
This bill received the constitutional eppro
' bation of President Washington, whose
highest and sworn duty it was to support
the constitution under which it was enact
ed. Nor was the North backward in do
ing its part to sustain the policy which
had been wisely adopted. They assent
ed to the insertion of provisions in the con
stiution necessary and eufficient to protect
that interest in the States, and they did
more.
The trouble apprehended at the com
mencement of the government from this
swum, beganio show itself as early as the
year 1790, in the form of petitions present
ed to Congress upon the subject of slavery
and the slave-trade by the Quakers of Phil
adelphia and New York, and by Dr. Frank
lin as President of a society for the promo
tion of abolition. These petitions were,
in the House of Representatives, referred
to a committee of seven, all but one of
who'm were northern members, whose re
port, as amended in committee of the
whole, affirmed "that Congress have no
power to interfere in the emancipation of
slaves, or in the treatment of their' within
any of the States, it remaining with the'
several States alone to provide any regu
lation therein which humanity and true
policy might require."
The perseverance and good faith with
which both braechea of policy thus adopt- ,
ed have, until very recently, been reertgai;.!
fed and carried out, are highly honorable
to the whole country. The peculiar ha
bility of the subject to be converted into's')
element of political agitation, is well in the
slaveholding as in the nqu-slaveholding
Statett; may !leveled to occasional attempts
so to employ it, hut these efforts have been
very successfully-frustrated by the good
sense and good feeling of the people, in ev- '
ery quarter of the Union. A detailed ac
count of the numerous acts of the Federal
government, sustaining and carry into full
effect the policy of its founders upon the
subject of slavery in the States, and its ex
tension to the territories, and the steps ta
ken, in the non-slaveltokhog States, to sup-
press or neutralize undue..agitation in re
gard to it, would be alike instructive and
honorable to the actors in them. Hut it
will be readily perceived, that this could
not be given within the necessary limits
of a communication like the present.
It must therefore suffice to say, that
from 1787. the date of the ordinance for
the prevention of slavery in the North
western territory, down to and including
1838, at least eleven acts of Congress
have been passed, organizing territories
which have since become States, in all of
which the constitutional power of Con
gress to interdict the introduction of sla
very into the territories of the United
States, is either directly exercised or clear
ly asserted by enactments, which, as mat
ters of authority, are tantamount to its ex
ercise.; and that at the only period when
the peace of the slave-holding States was
supposed to be seriously endangered by
abolition agitation, there was a sponta
neous uprising of the people of the North,
of both parties, by which agitation was
paralyzid and the South re-assured of our
fidelity to the compromises of the Consti
tution.
In the laws for the organization of the
territories which now constitute the States
of Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Wis
consin and lowa, slavery was expressly
prohibited. The laws for the organization
of the territories of Mississippi, Orleans,
Arkansas, Alabama and Florida, contained
enactments fully equivalent, in regard to
the extent of the power in Congress over
the subject of slavery in Ate territories, to
the express exercise of it in the other ca
ses. rheae acts were approved by Pres
idents Washington, the elder Adams, Jef
ferson, Madison,Monroe, Jackson and
myself, all boun by our oaths of office to
withhold our respective approvals from
laws which we believed Unconstitutional.
If in the passage of these laws during a
period of half a century, and under the ad
ministration of so many Presidents, there
was any thing like sectional divisions, or
a greater or less participation in their en
actments on the part of the representatives
of the slave-holding or of the.nen-slave
holding Slates, I am nut apprized, of it.
I believe the plan devised by the found
era of the Government, including The fath
ers of our political church, for the treat
ment of this great subject, and which has
hitherto been an faithfully sustained, and
which has proved so successful in preserv
ing the Union of these States, to be not
only the wisest which the wit of man could
have derbied, but the only one consistent
with the safety and prosperity of the whole
country, , , ~ '
I do therefore desire to see it continued
- so lent as slavery utisprin thif,U. ettattiK ,
'rho extent to which I have sustained it 1
the various Public stational have occupied,l
is known• to the opuntry. I was at the
time,Weli.aWittn tha) I went farther via this
trotenot ASA gouv pr.Myheat Biende could
approve.Mei' dimply pinitrated by the
convictioo that slavery was the only subject
that could endanger our blessioltinkin,ll
was determined that no effort on my part,
within the pale of thceestitution, should
be wanting to sustain Its7elhproteisee as
they were then understood, and it is now
a source of consolation to we that I per
med the course I adopted.
The doctrine .which the late Baltimore
convention has presented for the sanction
Of the annex's. in substance, that the laws
I ham referred to were so many violations
of the constitution-4m this instrument
oPTAILZWI AND TUE"
confers no powering Congress to exclude
slavery from the territories, as has often
been done with the assent of all. This
doctrine is set forth in the published opin
ion of the highly respectable nominee of
that convention. who it is well known re
ceived that distinction because he avowed
that opinion, and who, it is equally certain,
would not have received it if he had not
done so. It is'proppti e dtto give , this doc
trine the most solemn Inaction kunwnto our
political system, by the election of its de
clared advocate and supportevaghe Presi
dency. If it receive the proposed sanctieu of
the people of the United States, the result
cannot be doubtful: :The policy in. regard to
the extension of slavery to the territories
of the United States Auto which it has not
yet been introduced ? which has -existed
since the commencement of the govern
ment, and the consetitiences of whlehlavii
been so salutary, mest cease, and every
act of Congress designed to carry it into
effect be defeated by.llte veto of the Exec
utive.
The territories no,* owned by the Uni
ted States, and eve r acquisition of terri:
tory that may hereafter be made by she
United States, whether obtained by an
nexation. by cession /or a valuable eonsid-,
erasion, or by conquist, must as long as
this opinion is held:' and as far as the ac
tion of the national Legislature is concern
ed, be subject to theinroads of slavery.—
An d this consequent*, is to bo submitted to
on the assumption that the framers of the
constitution, with their attention directed
to the subject, and with a well understood
desire to do so, have failed to clothe Con
gress with the necessary powers to pre
vent it. I cannot with my vote contri
bute to this sanction. I cannot do so, be
cause I cannot concur in the opiulon which
we are called upon to sustain.
Entertaining thew' views of the consti
tution, I could nut by my vote contribute
to the proposed sanction of this new prin.
ciple in the administration of the Federal
Government, without, at the same time,
avowing myself to be in favor of the ex
tension of plavery in the abstract. and this
I can net* do. Those who agree with
me in regard to the existence of the-pow
er and the expediency of our exercising it,
and can still bring their minds to dissent
from this conclusion, most have more light
upon the subject. or Pave greater power of
discriminating. than
_possess. Ido there
fore unhesitatingly approve of the course
you propose to pursue, in withholding
your votes from Governor Cass, and shall
do so myself. If no other candidates than
those now before the country are presented,
I shall not vote for President. I'he man
ner in which our politicical brethren in
other non-slaveholding States shall dispose
of their suffrages, is fir them to determine,
and with it we luirtliothing to do. But
that they accord with us in the opinion as
to the existence of the power in question,
and the expediency of exercising it when
ever the occasion for so doing arrives, we
have the best reason to know.
The power, the existence of which is,
at this late day, denied, is, in my opinion,
fully granted to Congress by the constito
lion. Its language, the circumstances tin
' der which it was adopted, the recorded ex
planations which accompanied its forma:
Lion--the construction it has received from
outhighest judicial tribunals, and the very
solemn and repeated confirmation it has
derived from the measures of the govern
ment—leave not a shadow of doubt in my'
mind in regard to the authority of Congress '
to exercise the power in question. This
is not a new opinion on my. part, nor the
first occasion on which it has been avow-.
ed. While • the candidate of my friends
for the Presidency, I distinctly announced
my opinion in favor of the power of Con
gress to abolish slavery in the District of
Columbia,' although I was, for reasons
which were then and are still satisfactory
to my mind, very decidedly opposed to its'
exercise there. The question of power is
certainly as clear in respect to the territo
ries as it is in regard to that district; and
as to the territories tny opinion was also
made known in a still more solemn form,
by giving the executive approval required
by the constitution, to the bill for the or
ganization of the territorial government of
lowa, which prohibited the introduction of
slavery into that territory.
The opinion from which we dissent was
given in the face of, and directly contrary
to the views expressed, in forms the
most solemn and explicit, by ell or nearly
allrthe non-slaveholding States, and we are
not at liberty to suspect the sineerity of
these expressions. Honest and well-mean
ing.men, as we know the masses of one po
litical friends in those States -to be, are in
capable of trifling with so grave a subject.
Our ancestors signalized the commence
ment or this glorious governmennt of ours
by rescuing from subjection to slavery, a
territory which is now covered by five
great States, and peopled by more than
four millions of freemen, in the full enjoy
ment or every blessing which • industry
panender. They did this when the °pin
ions*nd conduct of the world in regard to
the institution of shivery were very differ
eritirom what they are now.
They did so before Great Britain had :I
even commenced those gigantic efforts for
the• suppression of slavery, by which she
has so greatly distinguished herself. Af
ter seventy--four years enjoyment of the
sacred and invaluable right of self-govern
'mein, obtained for us by s the valor and. dis-
Milan or.otir, ancestors, we, their, deepen
dente are.ealled upon to doom or if that
le tbe a reMg e,onnl, to woes to the in
.,
rolu t , quivery, a territorx garble of sus
taining an equal number of new Statel to
be added to our monfederany—a territory
'in a great part of which slavery has never
existed in fact, and from the residue of
which it has been expressly abolished by
the existing government. We are called
upon to, do this at a period.when the minds
of nearly all mankind have been penetra
ted by a conviction of the evils of slavery,
and are uniting in efforts for.its suppres
sion—at a moment, too, when the spirit of
freedom and refbrni is everywhere far more
prevalent than it has ever been, and when
our republic stands prquilly• forth as the
great exemplar of the wbrtd in the *Ocoee 1
qr free government. '
Who can believe that a popuhitiod like
that which inhibits the notealaveholdiug
States, probably amounting to twelve
millions, who by their own acts; or by the
foresight of others, have beep exempted
from the evils of slavery, can e at such a
moment, be induced, by considiratious.of
any description, to make a retrograde move
ment of a character so extraordinary and
so painful ? Such a movement would, in
my view of the matter, and I say it with
unfeigned deference to the Conflicting
opinions of others, bring reproach upon
the influence of free institutions, which
would delight the hearts and excite 'the
hopes of the advocates of arbitrary pow
er thronghoil the world. . ,

INSTANCtin OF PeEerANTIMENT.

PH11:141PrO NEEL AND THE STU
DENT. . •. • ,
A story is told of,a very good and pious
Man, whoip the Church of Rome has en
einung.her saints on account of his
teat holiness. . kle was living at one oldie
Italian universities, when a young man
*limn. he had. long known as a boy, ran
PP'ut, l 4 with a face full of delight, and
told bun Ow, what he had long been wish-
Ing,abeve.4 things in the world was at
length,,fultilled, his parents having just
given'him leav,e to study the law ; and
thereapop he had come to the law school
at this aniversity on account of its great
futlf.,entl meant to spare no pains coda
bor,m,getting through his studies as quick
sail as vrell as possible. In this way ho
'tan man. long, time ; and when at last ho
eante , .to a_inqp,. the •ludy man, who, had,
Oisel.ilkstritictilo him with great patience
indi,hinidness,. said :
•' : 4 1Yell, and when you have got through
tear cousie.otatudies, wha t vdo you mean
;bide then r
" 2 AO take my doctor's degree,"
insigei:ed the young man.
!"41,ad then I" inquired Phillippo Neri.
coutinued the young man,
"I Ithi#, 4 ha s to a number of difficult and
httojtppainte to, manage,shall catch people's
notice,by my, eloquence Inv zeal, my a
dmen/Im, andtrain a reputation."
"91istlithen t" repeated the holy man.
' "Anil then," replied the youth, "why,
'then there cannot be a question—l shall be
promoted to some high office or other ;
besides,. I shall snake money and grow
rich."
wAnd then ?" repeated Phillippo.
',Anti then," pursued the young lawyer,
"then I shall live comfortably and honor
iu wealth and in dignity, and shall
ho able. look forward quietly to a hap
py old age:" •
"And then 2" asked the old mans, ,
"And then," said the student. "and
then—l shall die"."
Here Phihippo lifted up his vities'and
again asked— • ,
"AND rum.' 1"
Whereupon the young than made nu
answer, but cast down' his head and went
away. This test ""and then?" had'piere
ed like a filar h of lightning into his soul,
and he mild not get quit of it. •
Moon slier he forsook the study Of thO
law,'gave himself up to the Ministry' of
Christ, and spent the 'remainder of his
days in godly words and works.
The question' which St. PhiHippo' Neri
put to the young lawyer is one which we
shonld frequently put to ourselves. When
we have done ail that we are doing, all Mit
we elitist doing. all' that •we dream of do
ing, oven supposing that all our dreams
are accomplished, that every wish of our
heart is fulfilled, still may we ask, "what
will we do ? what will we be then r
Whenever we east our thoughts forward,
never let them stop short on this side of the
grave; • let them not stops hort ai the grave
itself; but, when we have followed our•
selves thither, and have seen ourselves
laid therein, still nek ourselves the search
