A.committee appointed for the purpose, re

amended, was unanimously adopted, and or
dered to be published. •
TO TOE PEOPLE OF TILE UNITED StATES
The eighth section of the Act for the Ad
mission-of—Missouri-into the Union, known as
the 'Missouri Compromise Law, by Which the
introduction of Slavery into the regions now
known as Kansas and Nebraska was forever
prohibited, has been repealed. That law,
which, in 1820, Attieted_ i n, controversy which
menaced the Union, nod upon which you have
so long reposed, is obliterated from the stat
ute-book. We had no reason to expect tiny
such proposition when we assembled hero six
months ago, nor did you expect it. No State,
no - citizen - of any State, had demanded the re
peal.
It seems a duty we owe to the country to
state the grounds upon which we have steadi
ly, though ineffectually, opposed this alarming
and dangerous act.
You need not be told that the Slavery ques
tion lice at the bottoni of it. As it was, the
slaveholding power that demanded the ennet•
moot of the Missouri Compromise, so it is the
same power that hne now demanded its
abro
gation. -
African Slavery was regarded and denounc
ed as a great evil by the American Colonies,
even before 08_ Revolution; and those Colo
nies which ore now elnveholding States, were
°quay earnest in nue? remonstrances with
those which are norr free States. Colonial
laws, framed to prevent tbe increase of Slave
ry, were vetoed by the King of Great Britain.
This exercise of arbitrary power to enlarge and
perpetuate a system uniVersalty regarded es
equally wrcngful ili itself and injurious to the
Colonies, was one of the causes of the Revs
\
ution. When the war wee ended - there was
n imperious necessity for
,the institution of
so le government in the then unoccupied Ter
ritories of the United Sinte;. In 1784, JetTer.
son' proposed, and , in 1787 the Continental
Congress 'adoptettilie Ordinance for the gov
ernMent of the territory eying north west of,
the Ohio, by which it wasldeclared that there
shall ho'neither; Slavery nor" involuntary nor
viiude except for punishment of crime: ;' The
great and flourishing States 'since that organ
ized within that territory, on the basis of that
ordinatice, are enduring monuments of the
wisdom of the statesmen of the Roirolution.
The foreign slate trade was regarded as the
source of American 'Slavery, whiah it was be
lieved would be dried up when that fountain
should bo doted. In adopting the Constitu•
tion, it watt so universally anticipated that the
foreign slave 'trade would be Promptly prohib
ited, that all parties acquiesced
tion Postponing that measure until 1808. 'The
foreign slavntrade was pr. hibited—thus the
source of Slavery was understood to be dried
up, While the introduction of 'Slavery into the
Territories was prohibited.' • The etavery
question, so far as it was a nritional one, was
understinal An be finally Settled, and 'at the

ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE
WASHINGTON, Juno 21; 1854
qualified admission. A controversy arose
Which was sectional and embittered, and which
we aro assured by ootemporaneous history
seriously imperiled the Union. Tho states
men of that day in Congress settled- the con
troversy by compromise. By the terms of this
compromise the tree States assented to the
admission of Missouri with her slaveholding
oonstitution, while the slaveholding States on
their part yielded the exclusion of slavery in
all the residue of the territory which lay north
86 degrees 30 minutes, constituting the pre.
sent territory of Kansas and Nebraska. The
slaveholding States accepted the compromise
as a triumph, and the free States have ever
since left it undisturbed and unquestioned.—
Arkansas, a part of the territory of Louisiana,
which lay south of 3G deg. 30 irin., in oomph-
once with an iinplication which was contained
in this compromise, was afterwards admitted
as a slaveholding State and the free States no
quiesced. In 1819 Flcirici, a slaveholding pro
vince of Spain, was acquired. This province
was afterwards admitted as a slaveholding
State. The free States again acquiesced: In
1815; Texas, an independent slaveholding
§tate, was annexed, with a provision in tho
article of annexation for the subdivision iiihor
territory into five States. The - free States;
,ilthough they regarded the annexation, with
the probable increase of the number of slave
States, with very great disfavor, nevertheless
acquiesced 'again. New territories were no•
quiredby the treaty of peace which closed the
war with Mexico. The people of California
formed a constitution inhibiting. - einvery,:and'
applied for admission into the Union. Violent
opposition was made b 3; the slave States, in
and out of Congress, threatening the dissolu.
tion of the. Union if California should bo ad
mitted. Proceeding on the ground of these
alarms, Cr ngress adopted another compromise,
the terms of which were, that ten million Of
dollars at the people's money should be given
to Texas to induce her to relinquish a very
doubtful claim upon an inconsiderable part of
New Mexico, that New Mexico and Utah should
bo organized without an inhibition of slayry,
and that they should bo afterward admitted
as slave or free States, as the people, when
forming constitutions, should determine; that
the public slave trade in the Distilct of Co
lumbia should be abolished. without affecting
the existence of slavery in the District; and
that new and rigorous provisions for the re
capture of fugitive slaves of disputed consti
tutionality should be adopted, and that on
these conditions California should be admitted
as a free State. Repugnant to this compro
mise was to the - people of the free States, ac
quiescence was nevertheless practically ob
tained by means of solemn assurances, made
on behalf of the slaveholdieg States, that the
Compromise was and should be forever re
garded as a final adjustment of the slavery
question, and of all the - IstitieS"WhiCh could
possibly arise of it. A new Congress conven
ed in December, 1851. Representatives from
the slave States demanded a renewed pledge
of fidelity to this adjustment. It was granted
by the Ilouse of Representatives on the follow
ing terms:
Resolved, That we recognize the binding
efficacy of the compromises of the Constitution,
and believe it to be the intention of the people
generally, as we hereby declare it tb be burs
individually, to abide by such compromnres
and sustain the laws necessary to carry them
out, the provisions for the delivery of fugitive
shaves, and the act of the last Congres- for
that purpose included, and that we deprecate
all further agitation of questions generally con
nected with the ins.itution of slavery as un
necessary, useless and dangerous.
A few months subsequently , the Democratic
National Convention met at Baltimore, and as
suming to speak the sentiments of the Dem_p;
oratic party Oct forth in its platform That
the Democratic, pa'rty will resist all attempts
at renewing in Congress or out of it, the agi
tation of the slavery question under whatever
shaft° or'color the attempt may be made,—
Soon after another National Convention as
sembled iu the sump/city, and assuming the
right to declare th'eThientintents of the Whig
party said. "Wo deprecate all- further agi
tation of the questions thus settled as dattge•S
roes to our peace and will discountenance all
efforts to continue or renew such tigitati
whenever, wherever, or however made." The
present Administration was elected on the
principle of adherence to this compromise, mat '
the President referring to' in his inaugural
speech declared that the harmony which had
been secured by , it should pot be disturbed
daring his term of office. The President re•
earring to the same subject renewed his pledge
in his message to Congress at the beginning
of the present session, in the following Mu-
gunge:
'But. notwithstanding differeuees of opinion
and' sentiments which then existed in relation
to details and specific provisions, the acqui
escencp of "distingifiehed citizens, whose devo
tion to the Union can nexer be doubted,' has
'given reflected vigor to or institutions', and
restored n sense of repose and security to 'the
miblio mind throughout the Cotifederaoy.—
That this repose is to suffer no shook during
my official term, if 1 have the power to 'Avert
it, thmte who placed me here may be assueil,"
Uudor these circumstances, the proposition
to repeal the Missouri Comprotitise was and,:
denly and unexpectedly made h' the .same
Committee on, Te, ritories, which only tOn 'days
before had affirmed the sanctity of the Missou
ri Compromise, and declared the enti,ofagltn
tion in the following explielt and unmistsbea
ble language: •
"Your. Committee do not , fool themselves

candor that it should be stated that it could
not have been carried in either hOusewithout
the votes of the representatives from the free
States. The minority resisted the attempts to
arrest discussion upon this grave question,
through a Struggle of longer duration'than tiny
known to Congressional history. Some attempt
was made to stigmatize, hat minority as "fae-
Genies," yet we fearlessly declare that thro'-
out the contest they resorted solely'Ao The
powers secured to themh_y the law and the
rules of the Ilouse, and the passage of the
measure through the House, was effected thro'
a subversion of its rules by ttie majority,' and
the exerdise'of a power unprecedented in the
the annals of Congressional legislation., The
deed is done. It is done with .a clear procla
mation by the Administration and by Co igress
that the principle which it contains extends
not only to Kansan and Nebraska but to all the
other Territories now belonging to the United
States, and to all wbiah hereafter may be ac
quired. It, has been done unnecessarily and
wantonly, because there was no pressure for
the organization of Governments in Kansas
and Nebraska, neither‘ef which Territories
contained one lawful inhabitant who was a
citizen of the United. States, and because there
was not only no dangenof disunion apprehend—
ed, but by this reckless measure the free
States have lost all the 'guarantee for Treedom
in the Territories contained in former compro
mises, while all the States, both slave and free,
have lose We guarantees of harmony and union
which those compromiseslafforded. It seems,
plain to us that, fatal lis the measure is in
these respects, it iscply a cover for ... broader
propagandism of sleqery in the futures. The
,object of the Administration, and of the many
who represent the slave States ie, ris we be
lieve,-to- prepare the 'way for annexing Cuba
at whatever cost, and a like annexation of half
a, dozepofthe States of ttexico to be admitted
also as slave States. these acquieitions'are
to be made peacnbly ifOhey can be purchased
at the cost of hundreds of anillions. If they
cannot bo made peacefully, then at the cost or
a war wit!' Mexico, finale war with Spain, and
a: war with England, 16d'a war with France,
and at the cost of -analliance with Russia
setircely less repugnant.' Unmistakeable indi , ,,
cations also, a pear of a purpose to annex the
eastern part of San'Domingo; and so to subju
gate the whole island, restoring it to the do
minion of slavery—and this is to be - followed
up by an alliance with:T.razil and the exten
sion of slavery into thd valley of the Amazon.
It is for you to judge xhether, when slavery
1..
shall have made these 14 *dons to the United
States, it will demand „pconditional submis
sion on the part otthc "e Sfirtes, and failing
in that demand 'dam ,a Withdrowal of the
slave States and the organization of a separate
empire in o the central realm , of the continent.
From an act Bo unjust andwrongful in itself
and fraught with consequences so fearful, we
appeal to the people. We appeal in no sec
tional spirit. We appeal equally to the North
and to the South, to the free States and to the
slaveholdingStates theniselves. It is no time

forth ip the image of,,thnir Creator, invested
with his attributes, and woman trod proudly
amidst the lovely creation, an-angel venerated
and, adored. - To ,express diiisatisfaction under
all these circumstances waste her mind the
extravagance of a misanthrope, the- madness
of a reaklover of misery, and a sufficient amide
for her not to respect him. Both viewed the
world through a false medium, and their de
ductions, although
_at, Vit'riance,_gave:color to
their minds and accelerated their fate. Jessie
could not comprehend what appeared to her
the folly of her suitor. She relished not his
sickly sentiment, and, as all womankind ever
did and do, she scorned a cooing lover. The
bard was driven to despair, and' summoning
up an unwonted energy of Mind, departed, toed
left his adored to her youthful nberations.—
Soon after this'period the song of "Jessie, the
Plower of Dunblane," together with the music,
was published and became a public favorite;
it was sung everywhere, in theatres and at
parties; a - World of praise was showered upon
it from woman's, flattering lips, end men be
came mad to know the• adored subject of the
adored lay. In a short period it was discov
ered. Jessie Monteith, the pretty peasant of
Dneblane, was thlavored one.
From all quarters young men and bachelors.
(looked to see her, and her own sex were curi
ous and critical. Many promising youths paid
their' addresses to her, and experienced the
same reception ns her first lotrer. Neverthe
less, poor Jessie became really enamored. A
rakish spark from Midlothinns, adorned with
ea - cation, being of polished minners, and-con
fident from wealth end superiority of rank,
gained her young affections. She too credu
lously trusted in his unhallowed professions.
The ardor of first love overcame her better
judgnient, and, abandoning herself toher love
passion, she made an imprudent.esoripe from
the protection of her parents, and soon found
herself in elegant apartments near the city of
Edinburg. The song of neglected Tannehill
was to his Jessie both a glory and a' curse,
while it brbugbt her into notice and enhanced
her beauty, it laid the foundation of her final
destruetinn. Popularity is a dangerous eleva
tion, whether the object of it be a peasant or
a prince; - temptations crowd around it, and
snares aro Inid on every hand ''Who would
be eminent," said a distinguished child of
populuriiy, "if they knew the peril, the mad
ness, and distraction of mind to which the crea
ture of the popular breath is exposed I" 'When
the poet heard of his beloved Jessie, his heart {
almost burst With mental agony, and; working'
himself into the enthusiastic frenzy of inspire
hen, poured forth a torrent of song, more
glowing and energetic than ever before dropt
in burning accents frone-tririongue. It is to
bn lamented, that in a fit of disgust he after
wards destroyed those pootio records of his
passion and resentment.
Ere three years had revolved their triple
circuit after Jessie left her father's home, the
was a changed woman. She was destitute in
her splendid habitation. Iler blue eyes:look
ed pitiful on all things around herd the oval
chicks were indented by the hand of misery,
and the person the picture of no unhappy, hut
amiable being. How changed was the figure
clothed in silk, which moved on the banks of
the Forth, from the happy lively, girl in Dun
blane, dressed in the rustic, garb of a peasant!
But this is a subject too painful to dwell en;•
lot us hasten to the catastrophe. It was on
an afternoon in Jury, a beautiful' sunny atter.,
noon, the air was calm and pure. The twin'
islands of the Forth, like vast emeralds set in
a lake of silver, rose splendidly o'er the shin
ing water, which now and then gurgled and
mantled their bases. Fifesbire was spread
forth like a lamp, her hundreds of inland vil
lage and 'cots tranquilly sleeping in the sun
shine. The din of the artizan's hammers in
Kirkaldy and Queensferry smote the still air,
Dunfermline's nproned inhabitants scat
.4ro for i th their whitened webs beneath the
Iledit2tide p i on., On the opposite shore, Leith
disgorged her black smoke, which rolled slow
ly in volumes to the sea. Edinburg caste,
like a mighty spirit from the
,"vast deep,"
reared her gray.bulwtirks high in air; and Ar
thur's seat rose hugely and darkly in the back
ground. The choruses of fishermen, like
hymns to the groat spirit.of the ,waters, as
cended over Newhaven; and down from Gran
gemouth, lightly booming o'er the tide, !bated
the tall bark. The world ) seemed steeped in
happiness..
But there was one=a wandering one; an
_outcast—wretched and despairing, amidst all
its loveliness; h'sr bosom was cold and dark,
uo ray could penetrate, its depths; the: sun
shone not for her, nor did nature smile around
'but to inflict a•moreezquialte pang ou the un
fortunate. , Her steps were broken: andrhur

and then receded. •Ao human. !creature was

furnishes that paper with the following report
of a speech made by a Californian Auctioneer:
" Ladies and gentlemen, I now have the
honor of putting up a fine pocket-handker
chief; a yard Wide, a yard long, and almost a
yard thick ; one half cotton, and the Vother
half cotton too; beautifully printed 'with stars

stars on- t'other; it will wipe dust from the
eyes so completely as' to be death to.demago

dirt, and never need washing; going at one

twenty-five cents? Nobody wants

".Next .gentlemen, for the ladies wont be
permitted to bid on this article, is a real, si

long-bearded, dirty-faced reprobates, with not
room enough on your phizzes for a Chinese
woman to kiss, I'm offering you a bargain at
half a dollar. Well. I'll throw in this strap at

"Next, ladies and gentlemen, I offer three

you're mind to call them. Knit by a machine
made on purpose out of cotton wool : the man

Ishmael with\a large staff led the way. At's
considerable distance came a band, of- drum
mers and musicians, playing tunes more suit
ed? to a triumphant event then the the tragical
affair that was soon to take place. Behind
them came some files of soldiers ; then the
condemned man, walking, in the dress of
Bulgarian peasant, his two arms tied with
ropes, and held by several kanvasees who fol'
lowed him. The criminal was led out to
spot in view of all present. Ishmael Pasha
and his staff alighted. The propitiations for
the 'poor fellow's execution were very soon
finished—nothing, in fact, having been done,
,exo,eptiog, the binding of the man's.ayes,und
the tying, of his hands considerably tighter..
The Pasha gavonignal to nine soldiers, who
were' placed, 25 yards from the condemned
man, to fire. Three fired first, but only ono
of their shots 'took effect. It made him stag
ger and fall. Another three, - fired. with but
little more effect after which the remaining
three discharged their muskets at him. Four
balls in all seemed to have struck him; but as
he was not dead, throe other soldiers were or

'the' finishing part of the business was little
else.than revolting to their feelings. Several
Turkish officers went up \to the mutilated mar,
drew their swords across 'his throat, and then
licked the blood from their sides. During the
whole of the proceedings, Ishmael Pasha was
quietly smoking his pipe and seemed as undis

army, and was a man of some intelligence.
!•VCAINTDO.I.E. AND Tun FIDDLER.
On board the steamer Indiana, in one of her
trips down the Mississippi, were a large num
.ber of- good- natured passengers. They were
seeking to while away the hours, according to
their several notions of pleasure, and would
have got on very well but for one annoyance.
There' happened to be on beard, a Hoosier on
the Wabash, who was going 'down to Ortolan,:
and he had provided himself with an old vio
lin, fancying that he could fiddle as well as the
the best man, and planting himself where he
would attract notice, scraped away. The
fEl
low couldn't fiddle any more than s setting
hen, and the horrible noise disturbed his fel
low passengers, excessively. A Frenchman,
Of delicate 'nerves, and a fine musical ear, was
especially annoyed. He fluttered, fidgetted,
and swore at the - .satire" fiddle. The passen
gers tried various experiments to rid them
selves of the Hoosier and his fiddle; it was no
go—he would fiddlejust ad ldng as he pleased.
At last a big Kentuckian sprang from hie seat
saying, reckon I'll fix-him," placed himeilf
near the amateur. fiddler, and commenced
braying..with all his might. The effect of the
More was' beyond description. 'Old KalntuSk'
brayed so lend that ho drowned the screeching
of the fiddle, end amid the shouts of the pas
sengers, the disecimfited Hoosier retreated be-
