Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to use our utmost exertions to free our National Territory from the curse of Slavery, and that we will never consent, under any circumstances, to the admission of another slave State to this Union. Resolution of the Know Nothing Council of Maine. Resolved, That with the donies'ie institutions of the several States of the Union, we claim to have no right to meddle. Whatever is peculiar to the people of each State now in existence, is of their own creation and subject to their own immediate control ; and while we deprecate the existence of human bondage in any portion of this confederacy,
as a national party we leave it, as we find it, under its own local restrictions, to be regulated br the enactments of those responsible
for its continuance, but while disavowing thus explicitly any and all intention of interfering
with it as it is, we must in duty to our sense of right; to our conscience and to onr country, declare and demand that the general government has the power and right to act and exclude slavery outside of th State limits,
the spirit of the Constitution, which is that of
freedom, shall be regarded, and the influence thereof shall be so used that there shall henceforth and forever be no more slave territory and no Uiore slave States. Reiolution
of the Ohio State Covrmlat Cleveland.
"No vure slave States !" These words in
dicate the reat struggle which is Wund to
come.
Kansas, we hope, will come into the Union
a free State. We look with interest and anx
iety to its condition. Kvery act which has been done by violence or even threats of vio
lence, should 1 set aside. But the voire of
the people, when fairly expressed, must 1 obeyed. Whatever may have been the temjorary effect of the Missouri Compromise in quieting dissension, it was a great error ; it surrendered for temporary purposes the principles of the Constitution. It was passed in an hoar of infatuation. But the Compromise is a thing of the past, and the FreesoiJ party, we apprehend care nothing about it. Its repeal has been used as a means of throwing odium on the Democracy; but as it has become a fixed fact, they take bolder grounds and express their policy in the words, " No more Slave Stales." Now, unless the African race cease to increase or the earth to turn on its axis, one of three things must happen. There will be, in the Union, or out of the Union, more slave States; or the South will relapse into total barbarism;
or the African, like the Indian race, will 1 exterminated in America.
We anticipate a state of things like that in St. Domingo, insurrections, bloodshed, and a relapse into barbarism. The North may accomplish its diabolical purposes, it may girdle the South with a circle of free States; supround it by a wall of fire, within which all its fair civilization must perish amid social convulsions; and vet the Union in name mav still exist. But it will W a Union of force ; it will be subjugation. The phoenix may rise from its ashes, but the Souths can never recover from the compulsory liberation of the African race in its midst. It may bid a long farewell to all its greatness. The land which now blooms as the rose, will le converted into a dreary waste, " where the dead and sickening uniformity of the scene will be broken at intervals by volcanic irruptions of anarchy and crime. The cold-blooded cruelty of Abolition, cruelty to the slave as well as the master, is one of its remarkable features. It proposes no beneficent"scheme of amelioration ; no wise and cautious policy of colonization and gradual emancipation combined ; offers no assistance to the South which has the wolf by the ears; but encloses the combatants within narrow and yet narrowing limits, and exults in the prospect of the bloody fight and mutual destruction of both.
OCT A correspondent of the Journal calls us, among other bad names, "the doughfaced editors." In reply, we say that we have always advocated the Democratic faith
in a straight-forward, independent way.
There is no insincerity about Democracy, or
about us. Its principles are as clear as the
noon-day sun. It makes no compromises or
unworthy concessions to the spirit of the hour,
but proclaims it doctrines so that all may
know them, and sticks to them through evil as well a3 good report. It may be defeated,
but it cannst be dishonored
When the Kingdom of Granada, that land
of romance and song, was invaded by the ar
mies of Spain, her towers leveled and her rich and verdant plains despoiled, her disconsolate
monarch wa3 ready to resign his throne in
order to preserve his life. His high spirited mother checked his groveling purpose, and said, 44 A throne or & grave ; for a king there is no honorable medium." The spirit of the Moorish Queen is that of Democracy. Our opponents are the true doughfaces, for, as they have no political
principles, they assume any countenance
which expediency mav dictate. The face of
Democracy is always the same

" For thi St.iW Sentinel. "Their own Daguerreotype." We really have all along supposed that the Journal was the organ of the Whig party, but it seems from an article headed as above, that we have been wofully mistaken, for it has taken up cudgels in defense of the Freesoil party. The Journal s-iys that au article in Saturday's Sentinel, "under the inappropriate head, Fresoilism is a tissue of misrepresentations from beginning to end." The Journal has not attempted to prove that fact, but simply contented itself with a mere statement that such was the case. We presume the Jmmml will not attempt to deny that slavery was forced upon the Unitel States when they were colonies, by Great Britain, that the colonies protested against its introduction, that ships from Mass achusetts were engaged in the slave trade, and that they were among the first to be so engaged, that slavery was unprofitable at the North, that it was there abolished, that it is not unprofitable at the South, and that it there exists. We presume that the Journal is aware of the existence of the colonization society, and that Mr. Clay vu a member and an officer of that society, and that Mr. Everett is now a member, and, we believe, an officer, that the Abolitionists are antagonists of that society, that Freeoilisra ii now a political organization. Did not General Jacksox coerce South Carolina into submission when she attempted
to nullify ? Have not Wisconsin and Massachusetts in fact nullified ? have they not set at naught the laws of the United States ? Have not Garrison-, Wendali. Phillips, Theodore Parker, and Frei. Docolahs denouueed the Constitution as a damnable fraud and that too in Fanueil Hall? Was not Daniel Webster prohibited from shaking in that same Hall, lecause he arted as a National man? Are not Garrison, Phillips, and other men of that stamp the leaders
of the Freesoil party? Have they not again and again denounced the Bible as a tissue of lies? Are they not the worst sort of infidels?
Did not Freesoilism all' itself to Know
Xothingism? and has it not now come out
from that bodv in a measure because the
Know Nothings of the South could not swal
low the anti-slavery platform. Has not Free-
solism attempted to use the Whig and Democratic parties for its own vile purposes.
Will the Journal deny that Samuel has lcen most soundly thrashed, of late, in Virginia?
For what party or country does Freesoilism
care but itself ? Is it not a sectional party?
Does it not hate the South? Did not some of
its leaders declare in the city of London about
Lthe time of the Mexican War, that the gov
ernment of the United States was a Slave-1
ocracy and a tyranny, and rotten to the core?
Did not Freesoil members of Congress wish that the American army might find hospitable graves in Mexico? and did the party not rejoice when they fondly imagined that Taylor and his armv had been cut oft bv Arista
between Point Isabel and Fort Brown?
Have not the leaders of the Freesoil party lenounced Washixotox and Jeffersox as
slaveholders ? Have not ex post facto laws been passed in Massachusetts as the case of Judge Lorixo will bear testimonr to ? Have
not .ladies of questionable character been carried about by Massachusetts Legislators, and fed and provided with wine at the expense of the State ? witness Mrs. Patterson. Have not the houses of defenseless women been
ransacked, and their wardrobes tumbled over, aud even the sanctity of a sick room
desecrated by a committee of the Massachu
setts Legislature ? nave not Greeley and others declared they would spill the last drop of blood in theii veins and dissolve the Union I if any more slave State were admitted ? Such is the tissue of misrepresentation from beginning to end, according to the JournaV account It did not attempt to point oat a single misrepresentation, but contented itself with an attempt at recrimination. The Journal says that ministers of the Gospel were denounced as itinerant vagabonds it is mistaken. Men who stole the livery of Heaven to serve the Devil and the Know NothiDg party, were denounced as itinerant vagabonds; but let the Journal joint to a single minister of the Gospel who preached Christ and him crucified, who did not make the pulpit a political rostrum to abuse his fellow-men who did not agree with him, who was denounced by the Old Line press, lie-
cause a man wears a whitp cravat and has Reverend prefixed to his name, he is not, as a matter of course, a saint. Let the Journal prove that the Democracy has ever sold itself to the North or South. Let the Joii rnnl prove that Washixgtox could not be elected to the office of constable. The Journal harps upon compacts. Is not
the Fugitive Slave Law part of a compact ?
part of the Constitution of the United States?
The Portland Tragedy. We extract from the Providence W a calm and dispassionate commentary on ti e recent homicide in Portland. Candor requires in to sav that the conduct of Mavor Dow a has nothing to do with the merits oi demerits of the Prohibitory Law. The opj-onentsof that law should not raise a hue and cry against the Mayor in order to cast odium on Prohibition; nor should its friends attempt, iu their injudicious zeal, to defend conduct which was certainly hasty and perhajw criminal: The events of last Saturday have an interest not confined to the people of Portland, in whose midst they occurred Everywhere they will be view ed with regiet. It must be considered peculiarly unfortunate that at a time when ctlorts are being made in so many places to enforce a law violently opposed by a large minority, it should have led to such a result. For it is not to le questioned that this was a Maine law riot. The mob, if there was a mob, gathered in consequence of hat they deemed a violation of that law. Its oIject, no doubt, was to destroy liquors believed tol unlawfully kept. This much ap-n-ais from the published accounts, although no combination it shown, and there is no pretence that any one acted as lender, or that auy attack was made which could not be easily repelled, while no actual violence was committed beyond throwing a few stones and breaking a few windows. But the assemblage was an illegal one, and the Mayor was justified in his determination to disperse it aud protect his property until a court should order its destruction. Nobody denies that this wai his right and his duty. It was equally his right in casp of necessity, to call for military aid, and to shoot the rioters, if other means of defeating their object failed. The presei vation of the public peace is ever of paramount importance. No punishment, however summary, can I too severe for those who peek to disturb it. For the sake of Mayor Dow, we could have wished that the circumstances in which lie was placed were such as to render necessary the measures he resorted to. It U letter that lawless men should lose their lives than that reverence for the law should in any way le

The Right Sort of a V.
During the late dieadful torn;
passed over Mississippi, tearing up trees, blowing down bouses, and killing cattle, an incident occurred near Paulding in that State, which is worthy of record : "A young married couple were alone in the forest, occupants of a new home, and distant two miles from the nearest neighbor. They had retired to rest and were alsorbed in siumber, when the roar of the hurricane came like a sonorous wailing through the primeval trees, and fierce winds struck their house, tumbling the logs around and about them. The lady, after much effort, succeeded in extricating herself, but found, to her momentary dismay, that. her husband was entombed in the wreck of their dwelling, and that it would l impossible for her to relieve him alone. She reflected but a moment, when turning to her liii-band, she uttered some cheering words, ar.d announced her determination to go in quest of assistance. Forth she went in the midst of the howling storm, the winds sighing a requium over the ruin they had caused, and the stately trees vra-ihing in their fall before the omnipotence of the tempest. But she heeded not the danger; buoyed by a strong atlectionshe moved onward, an incarnation of heroism and self-sacrificing love, through the hurricane's track, and reached iinLarrued tlie rcsideiic of her neighbor.
Assistance wai procured, and her husband restored to as true a wife as ever hallowed with
felicities the life of man." Gen. J. Lane. The Oregon Statesman comments on the General as follows: Which Will Yor Choose ? Two names are before tlie ople of Oregon for their suffrages for the office of Delegate to Congress .To. Lane, ", John P. Gaines." Both are known to the people of Oregon: the firt honorably known, for his willing oU'dience to the ieople's will, his honest devotion to the people's interests, his republican simplicity, and inlorn sympathy for the masses. The other for his stubborn opjiosition to the jieople's will, his reckless disregard of the ieople's laws, anil his haughty contempt for the common classes.

The mob did Oregon in the way of unusual appropriations,

There was, therefore, no occasion for assailing the rioters. Defeated in their design by the presence of a guard, they would soon have dispersed. A single charge of the bayonet would have driven them from the sjot, if that Wits thought necessary. The Mayor chose a different course. He meant that bis authority should ta felt, and commanded the soldiers to lire. They refused, to their honor be if said. They felt that it was cowardly and murderous thus to shoot down their fellow-citizens. Displeased at this disobedience, the Mavor dismisses them and forcibly takes possession of their arms and delivers them to another company which proves more submissive to his will.

than all the delegates from the other six ter
ritories of the Union combined. And he has laid the foundation for still greater usefulness and influence in the future, in his extended acquaintance and unbounded popularity with meralters of Congress, the President, heads of Departments and Bureaus. We question if any man was ever so widely known and and highly esteemed at tlie national capital than Gen. Lane. His general urbanity and high-souled honor make him a favorite in every circle, and give him favor in every branch of the government. And those who are familiar with the moving springs at Washington know what advantage flows therefrom.
The Crops. From Gilmore S: Brotherton's Cincinnati Circular of 1.1th int., we take the following :
'Our accounts from all mrts of the coun-
marched secretly into the building, and al-1 try Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky-
most immediately, without a word of warn- .anl we nave taKen some pains 10 inquire;,
ing, commences firing directly into the crowd. In a very few minutes, the ground is cleared, and police proceed to make the arrests which might have been made with equal ease an hour or two before, without violence or bloodshed. It is difficult to conceive that an intelligent magistrate, however zealous, however infuriated by the conduct of his opponents upon the liquor question, could have so entirely misconceived his obvious duty in such an emergency. Patience and long forbearance are virtues which in his position could not le dispensed with. Neither public opinion, the law, or, it might be hoped,his own conscience would justify him in shooting men who had done nothing more criminal than throwing stones or breaking windows. Still less would they uphold him in any forcible demonstration whatever leforo a resolute effort had Wen made a break up the mob and arrest his right to shoot a criminal whom he thinks it would W unsafe to arrest. No man vested- with power to quell a mob, however violent or even bloodthirsty, would use the bullet instead of the bayonet. No magistrate fit to govern American citizens, would dare to fire upon them from aa ambuscade without notice and without affording an opportunity for the
innocent to escape.

and the prospect is that the west will have more produce to send east than ever Wfore. Exchange will probably rule lower after harvest, and we should not W surprised if gold were imported from New York in consequence of the scarcity of currency." , The alove is perfectly reliable, as Messrs. Gilmore & Brotherton have prosecuted their enquiries by personal correspondence with the most intelligent and well imsted agriculturists of the West
The Present Condition of Turkey. It was supposed that .-uch a sight as tens of thousands of the bravest troops of England and France, assembled from such vast distances to defend her coasts, would have aroused a spirit of martial enthusiasm throughout the length and breadth of the Turkish Empire. It was Wlievcd that Abdul Medjid would emulate the valor of his ancestors, gird on the war harness, and as Father of the Faithful, preach a crusade against his ancient enamies and oppressors, in which he would himself take the chief and boldest part. All honor to the heroes of Silistria and to the bravery of the valiant renegade who inspires with a spirit kindred to his own, the defenders of Eupatoria; but he stands alone w ith his army, the solitary spark of patriotism and life between 'the Adriatic and Persia. The Sultan, has passively yielded to the encroachments of. Allies whom hrf fears and hates; has flattered the Cabinets who have served him, und presented Arabian horses to the monarchsof England, France and Sardinia; but he has not adopted a single independent measure, nor displayed any desire to participate in the r sponsibilities ami dangers which others have undertaken in las Whalf. In the midst of, military movements and diplomatic !ie-itiations, the seraglio has continued-, un days of yore, to W the scene of palace intrigue,, and while thousands were dying for his throne in the Crimea, he was recalling Ly his Uritlou-.ner.s, the darkest davs of the most unscrupulous Pashaiiks." ! At the commencement of the present war, the Turkish frce, with its Egyptian contingent, numWred 240,000 men. Of thi? number, nearly one-half have been lo.t by the fevers of the Danube and Balaklava, and the reverses of the Asiatic general; but while England and France have trebly replaced their troops who had ln?en destroyed by disease ami war, the Turkish conscriptions have produced only .1,000 raw, undisciplined youths, to patch out the remnants of their ar my. The short-lived enthusiasm of 1353 has altogether vanished, and the aggregate of effective Turkish, Egyptian and Tunisian forces, amounts lo only l.V',000 men. Of thn iiiuaWr, 47,.X) infantry and G,000 cavalry and artillery have Wen tran-qotted from Var

The Law of Equilibrium in Politics. The United States are composed of two great classes, the planters of the South who, with their slaves raise tobacco, cotton and sugar, and the farmers, manufacturers and merchants of the North. Between these two sections of our confederacy there may and must prevail great diversity of interests. The difference of productions, pursuits and climate renders such diversity almost inevitable. A government which is the joint agent and representative of both sections, which holds ?ts powers for the Wnefit of all, should do no act which is oppressive and unjust to one part Wcause it may W acceptable to the other. There should W such checks and balances in the practical working of the system, that each great section or great interest should be saved from the encroachment of its rivals. Situated as our confederacy is, this principle can only V carried into effect by preserving the equilibrium which formerly existed between the North and South. Altogether apart from the question of slavery, this equi-1 librium ought never to have Wen destroyed,

When have the right of a freeman leen
trampled upon and Democracy va silent ?
The Journal charges the Democracy with Wing filibusters ; but, as in the rest of its statement?, does not prove the charge. The Democratic party, by its consistent course, has proved itself to W the only na
tional party. For the old Whig party we had
a decided respect ; it wxs an honorable national party ; though we did not approve of
its principles, we could not help respecting it
or its open and hanorable course of warfare;
but such a miserable bush-fighting thing as the olla podrida called the People's party, of
which Freesoilism ia the principal ingredient, we have no respect, and as we have said W-
"ore, may Heaven preserve the g)od State of
ndiana from its polluting influence.

midst. Better, far Wtter than thty should remain slaves through all revolving time. Let their bondage W considered, if you please, a blot on our republican institutions, a stain on the fair face of humanity; but let that blot and that stain continue forever if its removal involves the destruction of the only wise fabric of government ever invented by the wit of man. A government of the simple numerical majority, without checks or balances must inevitably end in centralization, that rock on which the hopes of freedom have Wen so often wrecked. France for example can never W free, whatever may W the form or name of her institutions, until her p-olicy of centralization is changed. Let heT restore her Provincial Parliaments, and establish a capitol on the banks of the Loire, and she may become a genuine republic. Never before. But what cares fanaticism for the preservation of the equilibrium of our federative system. What care the discordant screech-owls of the night for the music of the spheres? Centralization of power is an evil more to W dreaded than African slavery. There is no African shivery in France, and Locis Napoleox professes to regard it with great horror. But who would exchange the Federal Union of these States, though some of them have to sustain the odium attached to slavery, for the government of France, whether administered by Loris Napoleon or by Lamartise
and Chakoarnier?
Yet the whole tendency and drift of the a- I

think themselves wiser than the frarners of
the Constitution. A French atheist once said that if he had Wen consulted at the creation of the world, he could have suggested im

and in the Bulgarian towns, but they could

The occupation of Moldavia and Wallachia by the Austrian, is the only real bulwark of the Porte Wyond the Balkan, and whatever may be the value of tho Atistiian alliance in other res jiects, the declarations of Lord Palmerstou and Mr. Gladstone are true, that without their interposition, England and France could scarcely have waged an aggressive war. A third division of the Ottoman army guards the vicinity of Constantinople. It is said to he composed of good soldiers, and probably numbers aWut 23,000 men, but the regiments are continually shifted, and some of them will probably W taken, though against their own consent, to form a part of the contingent under General Vivian. The Turkish force in Asia is estimated at about 30,0f0 a sufficient nuruWr to accomplish something, if it were fitly commanded. Of late, many toasts have been made that it would assume the offensive and attack the Russian stronghold of Gumri; but until it has redeemed itself from the odium acquired by its cowardice, waut of discipline and subordination last year, little good will W credited to it. Journal of Commerce. Whv therk is no Bain in Peri;. In Peru, South America, rain is unknow n. The coast of Peru is w ithin the region of perjetUAl south-e.t trade winds. Though the Peruvian shores are on the verge of the great South Sea Boiler, yet it never rains there. The reason is plain. The south-east trade winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike the water on the coast of Africa. Traveling to the north-west, they blow obliquely across the ocean until they reach the coast of Brazil. By thi. time they are heavily laden with vaior, which they continue to bear along across the continent, depositing it as they go, and sunolying with it the sources of the Bio
de la Plata and the southern tributaries of the Amazon. Finally they reach the snowcapped Andes' ami here is wrung from them the last particle of moisture that that very
low temperature can extract. Beaching the summit of that range, they now tumble down as cool and dry winds on the Pacific sloies
W-ond. Meeting with no evaporating surface, and with no temperature colder than that to which they were subjected to on the mountain tops, they reach the ocean Wfore they become charged with fresh vajior, and Wfore, therefore, they have any which the
Peruvian climate can extract. 1 hus we see
how the top of the Andes Wcoines the re
servoir from which are supplied the rivers of
Chili and Peru. I.ieut. Maury's Uet-jraphij of

Recent disclosures made in the New York

Two steamer? were charteicd, for which $50,000 was paid down; in
thirty days $50,000 more was advanced ; and when the captain reported his readiness to sail, a third $50m followed suit. The money w as paid in good faith, and wxs to W returned, if, after ready for sea, the vesnels did not sail in thirty days. It ii albged that Government was informed, by the contracting
