THK POSITION OF THIi NOltTH.
Wo bare repeatedly that the late
Fiosidential election should vuthor bo regarded
by the South as a warning,
than as a triumph, They have citried the
Tote, but they h-.vc not curried tLe people ,
And now lot us see what construction is
put upon the vote of tho Noah by tho
highest official authority. I.i his fir?t tnes. ;
?vje to tlio Legislature ot" New York, (Jovexuor
Kino usee tho following laiiguago : |
?1 have yet another duty to perform?
a Juty, the obligations of which I r ui not
at liberty to neglect, even if I wore so
disposed; and the performance of which,
in toy judgement, is rendered imporative
by the respect which is due to the sentiments
and votes in tho receut Presidential
election of the great majority of tin.* people of,
this State, and of the other Free States.
< I do this in no parti/.an spirit, but unit.
l.U .1 - . I
v?v7 mo cunvicuo.i mat me trrcat principle
at issue in the election, ,iud which it so
triumphantly vindicated, lies at the root
of our free institutions, and is alike the
concern* and should be equally the caro of
nil citizens who rightly estimate those in.
stitutions. No more party question could
call forth so deep an interest, and so significant
and licisivc a vote throughout the
length and breadth of the State; and 1 venture
to believe I do not mistake its import,
nor your convictions respecting it, when I ;
assume, as its deliberate and irreversible
decree, that $o fur as the State of New I
York it concerned, there tluiV he henceforth '
*><? extent ion of Slavery in tin Territories
o'ike United States.
This conclusion I must unreservedly !
adopt, and am propared to abide by it, |
at all times, under all circumstances; and j
an every emergency.'
Aud this conclusion of the Governor of I
Now York, drawn from the facts of tho j
Presidential election, is cunphuticaiiy on- t
dorsed by the New York Courier and En- J
quiror, which may be regarded as 2 ho representatives
of the Sf.wahd and Fh>voxt
party of the State. They do not look upon
the lato result as a defeat. They treat it
rather as a victory, it is better fur thou) than
they expected ; and, n.< a stepping stone for j
future operations, they look upon it as a !
result which they hovo a right to regard
as scouring, in 18(10, thr .. .iinph of Free,

Sunday Mails
Some persons think it a great hardship. to
j be deprived of a f-ondar mail. What do the
same persons think of the loss of both Monday
and Tuesday's mails ? Perhaps they wink at
this, attribute the failure to the snow-storm
and say, the laws of nature prohibit *ork on
the railroad. A more powerful reason prcr&ils
in the first co*o. the law of Ot*l.

i From nhout d o'clock on Sunday morning
> till a Into hour .at night, *xo had as hoary % full j
of snow in this locality as roost of us have ever 1
j wltuesaed. It was indeed a severe storm, the |
snow falling rapidly and the wind blowing die- '
; tuiilly nil the while. On Moud.1T, the earth
was covered to the depth of at least six inches.
| In some places on account of the drift, the
snow was knee deap.
This afforded fins fnn to the young men in
th? way of sleighing and snow balling, but it

Southern WritersNot
the least of the evila which befall tho
South, as a section is the ostracism of her writers
from the literary world. Wo say ostracism,
and think wo use tlt? proper word to designate
the treatment they receive, Loth at the
hands of those who control the press, and
those who arrogate to themselves the exclusive
right to pronounce upon; and give circulation
to tho literature of the day.
Tn a great measure the (Southern people
have themselves ui Memo for the existence of
thia evil. A proper appreciation ofihcluudable
effort* of those enterprising tnen?-of
whom there nro a few in our midta?to establish
publication houses in our Southern cities,
and a due reghrtl for onr own intercuts, with |
a little le^s ofat spirit which excites a pre- j
f? truce for Jij go "prophets'' over those of!1
:>ur "own eidintry" and "kindred." would accomplish
