zle any reasonable man to show wherein he could have done otherwise than he did. With those who think differently, let by-gones be by-gones. Mr. Fillmore is at heart on the side of the conservative Republicans. We can ill afford to part company with such men at such a juncture.

In its general tone and effect-, this letter is substantially a rebuke of the prevalent spirit of the gathering fbr .whose benefit it was written. Contrasted with the wretched Pro-Slavery twaddle of Charles O'Conor, it roflccts tho highest honor upon its author.— He states explicitly that the entire North is "Anti-Slavery in sentiment." Above all, he fixes upon the right person, the authorship of the mischiefs which now distract the country. He bring the charge home, with great def-

oeratic agitators. Douglas. Pierce, and their followers. His letter is indeed, almost the only redeeming thing in all the proceedings of that lamentable occasion. The closing counsels which it gives are most excellent. Though late in the dav. we ask our readers to give

His desertion is felt was thrown at you in a shape which seemed likely to draw you out, yet, as nothing has been said to contradict the statements in the fieoiew, in which it is recommended to students and even to ministers of the Gospel, as a harmless recreation, perhaps it would be no harm to glance at the law on the subject.—

By the Statute of Indiana, anything by which any article of value may be either gained or lost, either by playing or betting, is gaming and the owner of the building, as well as the occupant, is liable to prosecution. Now, if the payment for a game oi Billiards depends upon the result of the game, it is certainly gaming, and all that it lacks is the officers to take hold of tho matter to prove it eo.

But it seems to me that if my opinions are of an\* importance to my countrymen, they now have them in a mnch more responsible and satisfactory form than I could give them by participating in the proceedings of any meeting. My sentiments on this unfortunate

i. hotter, qliestion of slavery, and the constitust. Phila- tional rights of the South in regard to it, have not changed since they were made manifest to the whole country by the performance of a painful official duty in approving and enforcing the fugitive slave law. "What- the Constitution gives I would ^fOhr-v^^ljftyery sacrifice. I would.not. seek to c'njo} its benefits without sharing its burdens and its responsibilities. I know of no other rule of political right or expediency. Those were my sentiments then —they are my sentiments nbw. I stand by tho Constitution of m} countiy at every hazard, and I am prepared to maintain it at every sacrifice.

Here I might stop but since I have yielded to the impulse to write, I will not hesitate to express, very briefly, my views on one or two events which have occurred since I retired from office, and

which, in all probability, have, given rise to your meeting. This I cannot do intelligibly, without a brief reference to some events which occurred during my administration.

A.11 must remember that ih 15-19 and '50 the country was severely agitated on this disturbing question of Slavery. That contest grew out of the acquisition of new territory from Mexico, and a contest between the North and South as to whether Slavery should be tolerated in any part of-that Territory.— Mixed up with this was a'claim on the part of the slaveholding States, that the provision of the Constitution for the rendition of fugitives from service should be made available ,1703 on that subject, which depended (ion

chiefly on State officers for jts execution, had become inoperative*, because

conceive to be an unjustifiable attempt to force slavery into Kansas by a repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and the flood of evils now swelling, and threatening to overthrow the constitution. and sweep away the'foundation of the Government itself, and deluge this land with fraternal blood, may be traced to this unfortunate act. Whatever might have been the motive, fow acts have ever been so barren of good and so fruitful of evil. The contest has exasperated the public mind. North and South and engendered feelings of distrust, and may say hate, that I fear it will take years to wear away. The lamentable tragedy at -Harper's Ferry is clearly traceable to this unfortunate controversy about Slavery in Kansas, and while the'chief actor in this criminal invasion has exhibited some traits of character that challenge our admiration. vet his fanatical zeal seems to
