The political horizon of the North is
grnwhni dark, and portendn the swallowing e
up of the Whig party in tl'm Aholition
movement. The course of the majority of
the Syracuse Convention Conmnittee is gen
erally approved of throughout the North
and bast, and especially in the State of New
York has it been adopted as the true Wai r
platform. In this city, where intere.t
would prompt a diferent course, the reso. 1
Jutionst of that Convention have been de.
nounced by the more considerate of the
party; but, in the interior and Western sec.
ions of the State, the principles put fort Ih
and a'kocated by Villiam II. Seward are
f nlorsed and republished as the only Whit
creed. The press in those sections, withi
two or three exceptions of minor charar- C
ter, have taken up the cry, mid thrown the
titi slavery standard to the hrcee. Thu
Albhiny State Register and BJut1lo Com..
.nercial Advertiser are tIm -"r- haters of
i - at.. ..--"" unte that have taken up the
aunnletlo battle against the proceedinr
of the Convention. The Albany Evenin,
Journal was the first to prainclaim the cause
of Seward, and the smalier prints iii the
I interior have followed, and, with every
issue, denounce all who do not endorse the
ity of his principles. The late postmas
t Aht Albany, L Benedict, has published a
correspondence m the Kvening Journ;l, be
t wcen the Postmaster General and hitmtself,
and the Jlourtal has made an attack upon
President Filmnore and his admiinitration,
which cannot fail to make wider the already
existing breach in the Vhig party. The 1
caise of the publication of the correspni
deuce was because Mr. Benedict failed to
obey the instructions of the head of the !)e
parttnent, or left the whole business of the
otnire to the care of an assistant, which re
stilted in his removal, and the nppoineinnt
of another in his stead. The Democratic
pless are of cgnrse placed in the dilemma
in which the Vhig party is placed; and,
should the Freesoilers hol to the nonmina
tiois made by the Democratic Convention, 11
their success is more than probabe. 9
ple of action, and the Boston Atlas strongly
censures the Whig sereder, i'r the course
they have pursued. Vith regard to the
conpromise measures adopted by Co'ngress.
''ne Vhig press throughout the lE' s:e'rn,
States are favorable to the Sew:ird primt i
they manifest an unswerving hostility, and 4
especially to the fugitive slave law, which
they assert is uncotstitutional, and advise
the cuigitives to resist to the last ex:remiity. d
The Boston Advertiser is the only Whi d
paper, lbch has taken a consecrantve
yours a"l which commiends the utihity and
justice of the law. The Democratic press
is generally qnict, and leaves the Whi
party to absorb itself into abolition without
an expression of opinion. At all of the late
SMate and County Conventions (if the Whig a
party inthe-Northern and Eastern States, it

The anncxed suggestion from the

tion. The rI eittmbers of Congress, who have
just been elected, will not take their seats
(should the union last) until December
1351, a year and two months from the time
of their election. We think this period
too long. It would he better if the election
were fixed for the October proceeding the

ninds us of what we hive long considered
a grave detect in our law. In the first
place, we elect meinhers of Congress more
than a year before the time when they
take their seats, and a whole session inter
venes hefrie. the judgment of the people at
the polls can take effect. The member of
Congress is elected for two years, and in
the iddlle of his term his Conistituents are

M" tive Slave ;Law.
. In our lst, we declared that we lead lit
tie, confidence, that the fugitive Siave..lill
would be-allowed to remain long upon the *
Statute Book.. We have now none at all:
very Northern paper that we have seen,
as well as 'the Abolition and free soil pa..
pers, as those which profess to support the
South upon the Slavery question, and at
first advocated' the Bill, are now against it.
o show the tone of Northern sentiment
-uon this subject, we make the following
extracts, fron two of the leading Journals
of New York-the first, a Whig and free
soil paper--the second, hitherto, a profess.
ed supporter of the South upon the Slavery 1
question.
[From the N. Y. Tribune.]
"The Fugitive La.-Beau Brommel
was once asked to indicate the best joke
lie had ever heard in his life. After con
sidering a minute, he said be thought it
wao a bequest of five pounds left by a man
in his will towards paying ofd' the British
National Debt.
"The Beau lived in one of the darker
ages. lind he been blessed with the day.
light of 1850, lie would have confessed that
the passage of the Fugitive Slave bill
(among others) expressly to 'settle the
slave question,' was a joko entirely ahead of
his. And the vehement assertion of Messrs.
Duer, Bush, &c., at Syracuse, that the en
tire slavery agitation, present and future,
had been settled, quieted, put to sleep, by
t hems measures, went even to a degree, be
yond the other. It was carrying absurdity, I
to the verge of the sublime.
"How slavery agitation has been buried
by the passimee, among others, of this fugi
tive slave bilI, the telegraph and the jour
nals already begin to show; though as yet I
only a very few of the thousands of "fu- I
gitives fron labor," in the free States
have been reached for under it. Yet al
ready Massachusetts is deeply agitated
by the efTects of this bill, and our own
State begins to be convulsed by it. Penn.
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana, will soon be ablaze
with it. Not many members of the House
will henceforth be elected from the free
States unpledged to its repeal; while any
general or systematic attempt to enforce ;;a
provisions will obviously be motby con
certed evasion, if not by overt resistance.
The law never can be enforced, even to
the extent of returning to slavery, one
tenth of the fugitive slaves now living in I
the free States. It will be difficult to en.
force i', at all fifty miles further cast or
north, than this city ; and of the thousand
to fifteen hundred fugitive slaves living in
Massachusetts, we don't believe twenty
could be re-enslaved without costing as I
many lives."
[From the Morning Star.]
The Slave Law.
We published the leading features of the
Fugitive Slave Bill, while it was passing
through Congress; but as it subsequently
received some alterations and additions, we
will recapitulate, in a concise form, some
of is nest strmgent provisions. It provides
that any person having the power of at.
torney, may pursue and reclaim the party
alleged to be a slave, either by procuring
a warrant from a Judge or Conuissioner
of the United States Court, or by arrest.
ing him, where the same can be done with
out process, and t king him before the
Judge or Commissioner. Persons who ob
struct tho arrest, or ihall rescue, directly or I
indirectly,nrsail t14.slave to escaperare
subjected to a fltf notexceeding 81,000,
atnd imprisonmen t not exceding 6 mtonthis;
atnd, in the event df escape), comnpelledi to
forfeit, oni a civil p'rocess, 81000 as the va
tue of theo slave. TPhe testimonty of any
ailledged fugitive slave will not be admitted
at any tria!l T1hiec law also repeals the!
Iliabeas Corpus Act with regard to fugitive
slaws. Accoring to it "the certificates of
Judcges or Cousnmissioners are contclusive
oif the right of the pirs:i in whose favor a
warrant is ifrant.ed; to remuive a fugitive
slaive to the Statei ur Territory front which
he inay~ have ercaped; and prevent all iiio
lestation~ hy 2. oy process issued biy any
couirt, judg~e. mai~gisitrate, or any ot her per.

arrest of the slave, is held responsble for
his saife c ustody, in the sumt of 81 ,000. lie

Publicr Meeting in. Clarengou
A very large and respectable meeting of
ho people of Clarendon County, was held at

or the purpose of organizing a Southern
lights Association.
On motion of Maj. Owens, Col. . P.
Eichardson was called to the Chair, and Dr.

On taking the Chair, Col. Richardson de

-at the conclusion of which, Dr. J. J. Ing
am, in a neat and approprinteZ speech, sub
nitted a Constitution, for the government
if the Association, and was followed by Dr.
hicCauly, who entertained the meeting, for
lear an hour, in a truly eloquent and irm
issive speech. The following is the pa
icr then submitted, and unanimously adopt
md.
Impressed as we are, with the solemn
:onviction, that Southern rights and insti
utions are efhtinently, (and premeditatoly,)
mndangered by the late monstd of the
~general Government; believing that the
)eacenblo enjoyment of them is no longer
ompatible with our existing relations to this
:onfederacy; and feeling ourselves forced,
iy the aggessivo character of Its recent le
islation on our right of property, (both in
he Territories, and in the District of Colum
>in,) to decide between the Union and our
rinstitutions; 'We, the People" of Claren
Ion, while invoking, as we now do, that pro
ection from our State, which as a Sove
cign, silo is bound to accord to our allegi
nce-at the same time, do solemnly pledge
murselves, by all the considerations of honor
s men, as well as of duty as citizens, to aid,
upport and obey her, in mamntaining her
fights and independence, or in any such
ourse of action as she may think proper to
mursue, in resisting the encroachments of
the Government of the United States," on
he property, the interests, or the egnality
if the Slave-holding States of this Union
In view, therefore, of an issue, so painful'
mut inevitable to us; in compliance with a
ense of duty so clear, and so imperative on
he South, to meet it; in thus deliberately
brmning this, our determination, tq:- pursue
ur rights or perish in their defence ; and to
ender, with readiest alacrity, our parn
nount allegiance to South Carolina and her
overcign behests, in any contest she may
e forced to wage, in maintaining them.
Ite it therefore Resolved, That we do no'
rganise and constitute our ourselves, Iito
an Association," for the defence of South
ern rights and interests-the objects and
tilos of which we hereby pledge our
ives and our honor, to support an'oh

OStrange, but not not less true, I yester.

only was she wit hout the auricle or the ex

of a foramen or passage for sonorous vibra

can converse with others, and distinctly
hear their wrords, for which purpose she
opens her mouth. - Now, is the soand trans.
