It is the only act of as isembly of this State, passed in fifty years rOf which freemen have reason-to be proud. I We believe the chief credit of this act be- ; lonzs to the lion. John C. Knox, then a memba of Assembly from Tioga county. Fie not only 'worked hard for its passage, 'Jut he urged the. Governor to put his' signature to the glorious bill when the; weak-kneed men of the party tried to. fricliten the Governor from aprroying it. Nil honor to the men who did what they je . ould to protect the freedom of all the inhabitants c.i this State. But in IS:'2, under the administration of that chief of doughfaccs, William Bigler. the work of linos, Shank and others, in behalf of freed)m was attempted to be undone, and I was so far successful as to repeal the Gth section of the act of 18•17, which prevent ed the jails of this Common wealth from being used as Slave-pens by 'United States Marshals. As the Republicans arc now in the ascendant at Harrisbure, we hope the people will demand the restoration of r , ! - - f the Gth section of Francis R. Shunk's bill 1p prevent kidnapping in ; Pennsylvania. 'lt will .be a shame if a Republican Lee r Islature does not wipe out the dirt eatinf , le-islatien of William Bigler. Let the fact of 1547 be restored and preserved in its entire nobleness as bequeathed to us Iby r e Democratic administration.

The people of Vermont are as intelli ent, and as honest as the men who stir- round the State Sth'nel. They claim to be as devoted to the Uuiun, and IP" , obedient to the Constitution, as those are who yielded everything to Slavery. We think there has been ranting enough a , aihst these Personal Liberty bills. In stead of repealing those already passed, every face State should immediately pars a law that would effectually prevent the return of every person claimed as a Slave until that claim was legally- made out "by due process of law." Is there anything unconstitutional in that ? 11 , 12112 Irlc South Cer,::4 Just at this tizno, %Own such a harrible act!) is made over the tia,:at, of Southern secession, it may be a favorable time to enquire what the Slave States have already cost to get and lien them in the Union. The fl a trisb rg Tiledfiirk -- sys "Doting the last nineteen years, from 1841 to 1559, imilus.ve, the tit:teen slave States have cost the Post Oilice Depart ment $50,5-14,-11t3 13, and they have euntrilmted to its support only ; -- .2.7,540,- 620 (38, cvhile fifteen free States have cost it i350,5,51,1!!)3 34, and they have con ti !bated to its support•; ., ill,6-18,519 70 —that is, tire slave States have cost the ooven,ment '44,795 fur mail facili tks more than they have paid, and the same number of Free States have eon ' tributed '•:.•'7,757, 218 more than they cost, bein the round sum of $30,000,000 against the former ! The expenses of South Carohna alum to the Department in 1858, beyond the amount she paid, were $211,531 08." 'That i but a t.inglc item, but it shows the impudence of the complaints m.:de by the Slave States. But the enormous sums expended for Slave Territory, and for wars for the benefit of Slavery, ought to reconcile, the most conservative man in the North to the loss of such expensive "Brethren." Here are the chief items we have paid fur Slave, Territery and the expenses of the Mexican and Florida wars. Louisiana (purelis'd of France) $15.000,000 Interest paid S 357,';3:3 Fiqrida (purchased of Spain) 5,00,000 Interri , i (wit] Texas (for boundary) Texas (for indemnity) Texas (for creditors, last Con.)

Enormous as these money expenses are, the Slave States have cost this nation far wore than all we have named. In order to secure a union with the Slave States, and to main [Lain such a union, we ha7ve submitted to degrading Fugitive Slave Bills, and other immoral measures, until the whole coun try is demoralized. The history of the last ten years is a history of corruption. Inc public funds are stolen. State Leg. islatures_and the National Congress arc bribed.
