MONDAY,

AUGUST 27, 1855.

Mr. Thompson continually quotes Mr. Clay's opinion of Abolitionists— but seems to take especial care not to notice almost the dying words of the great statesman, that ne never should vote—and that no earthly power should ever make him vote "to spread Slavery over territory where it does not exist." That is now the

gTand

issue—on which

is arrayed the American Republican party on one side, and the Locofoco party on the other. Mr. CUy is the great authority for opposition to the spread of slavery—and that is the issue of the present day. Abolitionism is not an issue recognized bj any organization around us at the present tome.— Wabash Courier. "That is now the grand issue." Sup-

pose it «, and we wdlabo say it at

tion of some bigots.) Does it follow!

that we ue duty bound to go for the

living,) would consider that expression binding upon him to do so? We contend that it would not, and yet he could hold that pledge inviolate.

Let us see \ireason will not bear us out in this view. When we say we are free to make use of the same expression now, we can and will oppose the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, as a useless contention, and yet be consistent. In doing so, we but contend for the rights of the citizens (of the territory this restriction was thrown around,) as guarantied to them by the constitution—as pledged to them through the patriots of the founders of that sacred instrument, and scaled by the blood of the Revolution we but support the acknowledged precedent of all our past history, and in pre,serving that right, we preserve the key-stone of the organic law of our Republic. When men, in the heat of party excitement, strike at this principle of freedom they know not what they do—they think not of the consequences. Take from the citizens of any territory their right of forming a constitution, according to their liking, llaving for its basis the great Magna Charta, then you destroy the first great principle of

Republicanism—-when that is gone, then, indeed is the Union in danger-— then will the faithless sons of their patriot sires scorn to notice ther epitaphs, and even trample in the dust every principle ol freedom bequeathed to them, and cease to emulate their noble deeds.

When Henry Clay made use of that expression, he was a citizen of a Slave State, and if he had been a citizen of a territory about adopting a constitution, jbe would have made good that pledge— if he had been a citizen of a free State, whose citizens were on the eve of engrafting Slavery into their constitution, he would have preserved that pledge inviolate. Thus would ho have acted and been consistent—thus would we act now.

As much as we desire that Kansas shall come into the compact, as a free ,j&ite, yet we will contend that Congress '&•- has no right to restrict her in this re-

ought to be watched. Thus have this

class endeavored to disorganize the

these dissensions in any other light than fore-shadowing the perpetuity of the American order, whose principles will triumph at no distant day, regardless of the intrigues of dishonest politicians.' Upon them rest the pillars of the Republic sectional difficulties may check their progress, l^ut they can never defeat them.

^.TH* ANQEL GABRIEL BEFORE SEBAS TOPOL.—The latest exciting news from Sebastopol, was at the arrival at the camp before that place, of the famous "Angel Gabriel," Orr who had turned up there in the street preaching line, and had, as usual, succeeded in creating a disturbance. The last that we heard of him previous to this, was, it Will be remembered, that on his return from this country to his native town in Scotland, he had occasioned a distructive riot there, and had taken his departure, avowing that he was about to proceed to the Crimea and infuse enthusiasm into the crusaders there.

The Evansville Journal wants to know

how many of those papers that publish-

ed along advertisement about a "Riv-j

er Directory under the patronage of a!

Mr. Lloyed, received a cent for the same. We will venture to say that not one of them have received anything, but are all "taken in and done for."— How long will newspapers continue to publish the advertisements of irresponsible persons, upon a mere request to "send OH your bill."—N. A. Tribune.

Just as we expected. We should like to know how many are green enough to pubblish it without a quid pro quo, "in advance."

THE CANAL TRUSTEES.—By the death of Ben. Edmonson, £sq., a vacancy has been created on the Board of Canal Trustees. The question arises, how is that vacancy to be filled? Must the office remain vacant until a general election? Or cat* we have a special election? Or will the Governor appoint?
