Tho following is an extract from "Roorback's Tour through tho Western and Southern States io 1S3G:" " Just as wo roacbod tho Duck river in tho early grey of tho morning, wo carno up with a sinfularspsctaclc, tho most striking orio of tho kind over witnessed. It was a camp of negro slave drivers, just packing up to start. They had about threo hundred slaves with them, who had bivouacked tho preceding night in chains in the woods; theso tlioy wcro conducting to Natchcz.ou the Mississippi river, to work upon tho sugar plantations in Louisiana. It resembles one of the colllos of slaves spoken of by Mungo Tark, except that they had a caravan of riirio wagons and single horso carriages for the purpose of conducting tin white poop'o. and any rf tlu !!le tlmt should fall lame, to which they wore now putting tho horses to pursue their march. The female slaves wero, some of them, sitting on logs of wood, whilst somo wore standing, and a groat many little black children wero warming themselves by tho lire of tho bivouac. In tho front of thorn all, and prepared for the march, stood in double files about two hundred nnlo slaves, manacled and chained to each other. I had nqycr soon so revolting a sight before! Black men in fottors, torn from tho lands u hero tkoy wero born from tho ties they had formed, and from the comparatively oay condition which agricultural labor alTbrds, and driven by whito men, with liberty and equality in their mouths, to a distant and enhaalthv country, to ncrisli in t'm s.urrir milU nf i -Louisiana, wiiero tho ii ura l ion ol l.lc lor a snar j mill slavo do:;s not oxcoed seven years.

This James Iv. Polk, whoso slaves wero driven fTto Louisiana, in manacles, was nominated expressly and avowedly to extend the boundaries and to perpetuato tho existence of slavery. This issuo was boldly taken by thoao who traffic in human flesh and blood. The candidate who had secured the delegates to their convention and who had gone farther than duty or patriotism can excuse, in tho support of slavery, was 'rejected' becauso he rofused to avow himsolf in favor of bringing Toxas, with its debt, its w ar, and its slavery immediately into the Union.

The Madisonian denied a few days ago that President Tyler had ever been a whig. Let that ; functionary answer for himself:

Aecd we say i that it was a glorious gathering ? Lot the dis- j paragement of its opponents speak for it. Tho j Bay State Democrat averts that there were only nino thousand and odd in tho procession.

a cavalcade of over one bo it noted, was for a march of several miles through tho hot glaring streets, on as warm a day as 3'ou would wish to find in July. About ton thousand of them were -Massachusetts whigs, tho remaining two thousand wcro from other States. Tho number out of the procession was, as usual, many times greater. The Atlas estimates that at least One Hundred Tiiousand participated in the doings of tho day. Tho miles of streets through which tho procession pa ssco m ere ndornr.d with whig and national banners, every window was radient with lovely faces, beaming with enthusiasm and joy; tho streets wero full of men, who returned cheer for cheer with the various delegations, and all bospoko tho universal sympathy with tho whig cause and its champions, livery where was order maintained while energetic resolution and undoubting confidenco wcro displayed; and every thing concurred to manifest that the .Men of 1810 had reassembled to completo tho work which they then only failed in effectually performing through tho visitation of God and tho treachery of a chosen and trusted agent of tho people. Tho head of the procession, returning, reacbed tho Common at 1; tho rear about half past 2, boforo which timo the Convention had been organized by choosing Daniel Webster President, with a Vice President from eachcountvof tho State. AfW Vmyr, hy JJrr-r. Mr. D'n .f-ri M Wr.Kster rose arid delivered that admirable Address of which wo have copied tho report of tho Boston ' Courier, as tho fullest and Iiest. It takes a no- ! bin and statcsman-liko view of tho Texas quos- ; tion a view novel on somo points, but based oil : tho same old fundamental truths, which will endure and bo approved by tho wiso and good, so long as honor and justice are deemed more commcndablo than treachery and rapacity. While it sternly rebukes the infamous plotting? of the j Annexationists, it regards Texas per so in a considerate and kindly spirit. It shows that .Mr. Webster is animated bv no feeling hostile or dis paraging to tlint youn? republic in opposing its j Annexation to tho Union in violation of our sol-j coin treaties with Mexico. I On the tariff also Mr. Webster is ablo and lu cid as ever: and wo ask every observing citizen to note tho difference in tho spirit and tho scope of whig dicusiion of this great theme, and thoso of our opponents. One side certainly docs discuss this paramount topic in a narrow,onvious. captious spirit, seeking to array cins-i against class, interest against interest, and neighbor against neighbor. Which is it? Mr. Webster spoko an hour and a quarter; and when tho cheering at the close had subsided, ho introduced to tho assemblage Hon. John M. Berrien of Georgia. Ho spoko very briefly but powerfully, as it was near tho hour of adjournment, promising to speak again at a better opportunity. Hon. Jabcz W. Huntington, Senator from Connecticut, was next introduced, and spoke briefly of Connecticut, her glorious struggle last Spring, and her readiness for one still moro decisive iu November. Cassius M. Clay of Kentucky (for whom thousands had long sinco called) was next introduced and as soou as ho could obtain audience through a cessation of the prolonged, reiterated cheering. said as reported in the Atlas Mr. President. Men of Massachusetts, Americans! Although this is one of tho proudest moments of my life, yet, however much may be my vanity, I am constrained to believe that not to mo only is this expression of cordiality and respect extended, but that by far the greater portion of the manifestations of applause and approbation is intended for that other and greater fellow citizen, bearing my own name.

I caro not what may bo tho private opinions of Mr. Henry Clay, or of Mr. Webster, or, (if it is procr to mention his name in such ail honorablo connection,) of Mr. Polk, but never by my voto, nor by tho influonce of my voice, shall slavery be extended by tho annexation of any territory. I take Mr. Clay by his pledges I hold him to them that he will not sanction the admission of Texas into our Union, unless by the general consent of tho States which compose it. Ho dares not ignoro them, ho dares not give his influenco to tho execution of such an infamous scheme. 1 will closo by saying, that with such a loader as Mr. Clay, possessing such principles as we do, wo must and will conquer in 1314.

I saw the Democratic Convention trampling upon that sarrcd principle of a republic, viz: "thnt tho majority should govern," by casting asido Mr. Van Duron, tho choico of tho majority of the party, as actually ascertained by ballot, and substituting therefor their ow n creature, James K. Polk. I no longer believed them democrats. I saw tho whigs fightinff for tho restriction f th Fyprvitivc. or one-man power, and endeavoring to make tho will of the people paramount to tho will of ono man; and I saw the democrats opposo thorn. I no longer believed them democrats. 1 saw tho democratic party in Congress, for the purpose of retaining their majority, actually trample the Constitution under foot, and nullify an act of Congress constitutionally passod; and when the w higs entered their protest against tho high-handed act of tyranny, that same democratic party expunged from the journals tho ovidenco that tho whigs had raised their voice against it. In this I saw tyranny, and not democracy. I saw tho Democratic party socager for power that they stickled not to steal from that poor man, John Tyler, his only capital, with tho expectation that it would gain them tho power they sought. I thought this was not honesty. I saw thorn willing, for tho sake of power to make that stolon capital tho cause of war; to seo yu noon wl the tmf nn,i of your daughtors Calb : lu l,,u frontier to perish by tho sword or disoase. in a tuiucsi wucre victory would bo disgrace, I saw no patriotism here.
