A Voice from Virgiriia—BIr. Janney’s Letter. [From the Woodstock (Fa.) Tenth Legion.] It has been the practice ot the Society of Friends for many years, to discourage, on the part of its members, any participation in the excitement and party spirit which prevails in elections and political meetings, believing that the feelings thus engendered are calculated to withdraw the mind from religious contemplation, and to retard its growth in piety and virtue. In these sentiments I fully concur; yet, there are seasons in which the discussion of great political questions so deeply agitates the public mind, that we cannot withhold our sympathies, nor can vye forbear the expression ol our hopes and fears, when the interests of humanity and the reputation ol our beloved country seem to be in jeopardy. Such a crisis in our public all'airs seems to be now at hand, and the question for us to consider is, whether we shall altogether withhold our influence in the approaching presidential election, or exert it in accordance with our principles, so as to promote the cause of liberty and of human happiness. In favor of the latter course we have the example of the great and good William Penn, who on the occasion of an election for members of the British Parliament, published an address to the freeholders and electors of England, in which he lays down the principles that ought to govern them, in order to promote the cause of civil and religious

liberty.

Although I do not intend to discuss the merits or demerits of any of the Presidential candidates, J will follow the example of Penn, so far as to touch upon some of the principles involved in the issue now on trial before the

American peoplq.

Tins nation has just emerged from a war waged against a,sister Republic, who was too poor to pay the debt she I owed ns, too proud to make humiliating concessions, and too weak to resist the power of our armies. Our government had not sufiicient. magnanimity to wait with her, but, like the creditor in the parable, u laid hands on her and took her by the throat; saying : pay me what thou ovvest.” Of the two great parties represented in Congress, one urged on the war, applauded the course of the Executive, and called for large supplies uf men and money; the other denounced the war as unnecessarily begun by the President, and yet voted the supplies of men and money required to carry it on, affecting to throw the responsibility on the Executive, but, in reality, lacking in moral courage to assert and maintain the cause of justice and huhianity, by refusing the supplies. The war is now ended, and not only is Texas secured and slavery established there, but two new territories, of great extent, have been wrested from Mexico, into which our southern politicians have avowed their determition to allow the introduction of American slavery. This ruinous system which has been the bane of our own land, and the fruitful source of dissension among the several States, has been abolished by the government of Mexico. The territory recently acquired, comes into our possession as free soil, and the very reason urged by southern men for the continuation of Slavery in Louisiana, Florida and Texas, applied with full force, for the continuance of freedom in California and

New Mexico.

They coniended that where slavery existed by law, Congress had no right to interfere by its prohibition, and so where freedom is now established by law, Congress lias no right to repeal that law, or to pursue a course that will result in its repeal. Yet our executive has already declared in advance, that he will not sign any law for establishing territorial governments in California and New Mexico, which shall not be based upon the Missouri compromise, which is tantamount to declaring that slavery shall be permitted in all the territories of the U. S. South of 36 deg. 30 min. leaving nearly the whole of New Mexico and the whole of California subject to its

introduction.

The existence of slavery has always been deplored Ry Virginians, and is now regarded by our citizens as a grievous evil, not only retarding the mental and moral progress of the slave, but entailing a burden on the master, that he is scarcely able to bear, and yet is unwilling or afraid to lay down. Thatcomstellation of great men. who rose in Virginia, at the time of the American Revolution, were ail, so lar as l am informed, opposed to the ex-

tension of slavery.

Washington declared the only way in which it could be extinguished, was by legislative enactments, and, that whenever bis vote was required for that purpose it should not be withheld. The strong terms in which Jefferson expressed his abhorrence ot the system are too well known to require repetition. Patrick Henry, George Wythe, and other names might be adduced to show that this was then the prevailing sentiment among our prom-

inent men.

It was through the influence of such men, especially of Jefferson, that the ordinance of 1787, prohibiting slavery in all the territories of the U. »S. northwest of the Ohio, was passed by the

of that ordi-

poliey,

Continental Congress, and confirmed by the action of the Federal Govern-

ment.

When wc consider that the territory thus dedicated to freedom lias been ceded by Virginia, and bad once been subject to the introduction of slavery, the fact of its being prohibited there by the votes of southern men, is the more striking and instructive. It is to! this celebrated ordinance that the j states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michi-; gan and Wisconsin owe their excrnp-; lion from the blighting effects of sla-!

very.

Such progress as they have made in | population, wealth, internal improve- j ments, and in all that constitutes live el- * 1 ements of prosperity, has, 1 believe, j never before been realized in the bisto-;

ry of man.

Contrast their progress and condi-j tion with any of the slavehold.ing states, i and no further argument is needed to prove the wisdom and foresight of;

Jefferson, in the framin

nance.

Why should not the same which has proved so beneficial, be extended to the newly acquired territo-j ries ? We know from experience that slavery will injure them : why then should we permit it to go there. If our object is to get rid of it here j by pushing it off to a neighboring ter-1 ritory, such a course is as unjustifiable | in this nation, as it would be for a man ! whose grounds were infested with nox-i ions weeds, to pluck them up and cast them into his neighbor’s garden. But even if this selfish policy were right in itself, and moreover if it were expedient and proper to encourage the domestic, slave trade by opening a mar-; ket for the slaves of Maryland and Virginia, there is ample room for such a purpose in the state of Texas, u here the people have been so infatuated as to open the floodgates for this desolat-

ing evil.

In stating this question there is one view which 1 have never seen stated, arid which I consider important in a moral point of view. A large proportion of the inhabitants of New Mexico ' ami California are of mixed blood.— : The Indian, the Spaniard, and the African, are mingled in every variety of hue; and should the laws of the slave ; states he introduced there, every one j of these inhabitants who has negro blood \ in his veins will he liable to be reduced j to slavery, unless he take measures to;

prove his freedom.

It is well known to all who are con-j versant with the subject, that in the j slave states African blood is prima facie evidence of slavery, and the burden of proof lies upon all of this class, who claim their freedom. After reducing these people by conquest, and repeatedly promising, through the agents of ; our government, that they should enjoy all the privileges of American citizens, would it not be an act of monstrous injustice to keep them or any portion of them, in the condition of our; free colored people; bound to carry with them the evidence of,their free-j dom, forced to associate with the de-j graded slave, and perhaps in the end, 1 like the same class in Virginia, forbidden to be taught to read or write, and i not permitted to assemble for religious I worship without the presence of a ! white person ! It is usual with South-1 ern politicians to make a false issue in j discussing this question. They say the i piohibition of slavery would exclude the citizens of the southern States from their just share in that territory ? So far from it, we all know that many of our most industrious and enterprising citizens emigrated to that country, and the descendants of Virginia are now to be found in almost every part of Ohio, j and the other northwestern states. In considering the interests of Virginia, j it is too often taken for granted that j all tier oitizens are interested in slavery; but this is far froufBeTng the fact. In many of the western counties, there 1 are very few slaves; and even in East- ! ern Virginia there is a large class of: non-slaveholders whose interests have! been so long disregarded in our legisla-1 tion, that many of them are scarcely conscious of the loss they are sustain-J

ing.

What is it that degrades labor in the field and the work-shop, and causes so many of our young men to live in idleness, or to seek a precarious sustenance in the over-crowded professions of law and medicine ! Is it not the presence of slave labor % What is it that reduces the value of property in all the slaveholding states, so that the price of land is generally not onefonrlh so high as in the free states '? Is it not the wasteful and ruinous system of slavery ? Why do so few among the many thousands of immigrants, who are Hocking to this country from abroad, come and purchase the cheap lands of Eastern Virginia, is it not because they dread the enervating atmosphere of slavery. With all the consequences of this wretched system before us, it would be j the height of injustice to entail it upon territories that are now free, and this generation, if guilty of such a proceeding, would richly deserve all the reproaches, so liberally .cast on the government of Great Britain, for its course during the past century in relation to the introduction of slavery into her American colonies. In my estimation this question overshadows all other questions of domestic or foreign policy; for it involves the reputation of the country and the

But in a country where the laborer is held in involuntary bondage, his degradation reacts upon the dominant class, so as to paralyze the arm ol industry, and destroy the life ol enterprise; agriculture languishes,commerce declines, education is neglected; and the whole hotly polilie suffers a prema-

Entertaining these views, if 1 go to the polls, I cannot consistently do otherwise than support the Free Soil

Ticket.
