with the abolition, or "liberty party" of the coun try, has lately written an address urging the people of color, throughout the entire Union, to emi

of their fathers, where they might in common with their fellows have enjoyed that freedom from which they are deprived under our institutions. This change of the views of Mr. Birney may be regardas a token of good to the whole ooiored race.— No doubt, he is convinced, as thousands, not of hit party, are, that the ooiored man oan never be more than faff a fretmen in our country, and, hence, the neoessity of emigrating to Africa. His address upon this subject will be read with more than ordinary pleasure, a* emanating from an individual who has so long been the friend and adviser of tho colored population of the country, although his zeal has been guided by a misdirected philanthropy. We see it stated in one of our Cincinnati ercbangee that at the Isle Convention held at that city a large majority of the speakers advocated emigration to Liberia. That it Is th$ true interest of the race to emigrate, there can be no doubt, and before another twelvemonth shall have passed thousands will be making preparations to sail for the African coastaln a few years their influence will pervade that entire oontinent, and the millions of ignorant and wicked barbarians there, will by their brethren from America be raised to ft higher and more enlightened eiritintioa. ii

it be as a band of brothers engaged in a holy cause, convened together for the purpose of friendly consultation apd intercourse, and not for wrangling and angry disputation.

Let those who are selected to bo the standard bearers of our party in the ooming campaign be men of worth and sterling integrity, no matter as to'their locality, and who can doubt the result if the same unanimity of feeling exists that has hitherto characterized the democratic party. i.

We hjope and believo that the Convention will be largely attended, which will insure, to a great extent, a (air and candid expression ol the will of the people, upon the great questions that may be presented to the calm consideration and deliberation of the Convention. The majority must rule and all should acquiesce, and all will do so, who have at heart the ultimate success of democratic principles. It oannot be expected that we can all have our own peculiar views adopted, if not, what then? liaise a fuss, grow cross and stubborn, and kick out of the tfticesf Never! such a course would be mere child's play democracy is made of sterner stuff than that. So far as we are concerned, we have determined to support, with all! our feeble ability,

Georgia, being mentioned, he arose and avowed

son. of /Kansas, (hade the same statement, both of whom were considered as the Union organization. Upon this, Mr. Cabelt seemed to- feel anxious about the fate of the Union patty, and remarked that the Baltimore .convention might nominate Gen. Butler, of Kentucky, whose opinions had not been proclaimed, when the following scene of repentance and contrition took place.*"—

A Voice-—Ton voted for Taylor. Mr. Cabell—I had much agency til it, ft my sphere, in bringing about that state of things, but may the Lord forgive me for what 1 have done.

A Voice.—Amen. ,, Mr. Cabell.-—I shall not hereafter give my vote to any man whose position is *not clearly defined. I don't wish to be caught again in that way. My opinion is that the South ahould not countenance any effort to conciliate the abolitionists of the north by concealing the principles of the candidates.

Mr. Cabell declared that the country would deaiand of Scott to put his sentiments on record, if not they will torn their backs on him. And even if be did now, he had remained too long in a false position, and it was too late to repair the damage which had been done to him. lie did not believe that Gen. Scott could receive a single electoral vote of the south, and could not receive fifty votes in Florida. He merely wished to say, in conclusion that the southern whig party occupies this position, —that no man shall receire their votes whobe opinions are capable of misrepresemation^^^^

Mr. Murphy, Union democrat of Georgia contended that he had always maintained the principles on which the Union party was formed were not repugnant to the principles of the democratic party. The Union party never determined more or less than the democratic party always determined —that non-intervention on ihe question of slavery is the doctrine of the American people, and when they iay Congress' has no power to legislate on the subject of slavery, and not restrict it from the territories of the United States, and no power to abolish it where it is, they sustain tho principles on which the Union party of Georgia was formed. If the Baltimore convention thus declare, they will uphokl the position of the Union party of Georgia, and we arc willing as far as indications go, to unite with the convention to try the experiment. In a patriotic, candid, frank speech, he declared that the time for preserveing the Union had passed by. Mr. Disney deolared that he was opposed to any repeal or modification of the slave law while Mr. Campbell, whig free-soil, said that he was willing to vote for either. Mr. MoMulien, democrat, said that the old democratic Jefferson hunker paity was the real Union party of the country. /,

"The latter demanded that an apology should be made to her in presence of the asssembled family. "The former refused, and challenge waa the consequence. They met in the woods of Boulogne and had already drawn their swords, when a laboring man till then unnoticed, advanced and addressing the combatants in a piteous toue, said, "Alas! my dear officers, I am a poor joiner without work, and the father of a fair ly.'

EMIGRATION TO CALIFORNIA.—-The emigration to California appears to have reooived a new impulse, if we may judge from the large number that New York on Friday on board the Gherokeo and Prometheus, both of whioh took out 988 passengers—the former taking 338 by the way of Cbagres and the latter 651 by way of San Juan. A still greater number are preparing to go, and have already engaged their passage on tbe different steamers leaving New York on the 5th of next month.— The California steamers number thirteeen altogether, are furnlsed with accommodations for about 7,000 passengers, and make semi-trips to Chagres and intermediate ports. A large propotion of tbe emigrants oonsist of farmers and their families, from the western part of N.York, who intend making their permanent residence in California.

The Hon. Charles Sumner, the successor of Daniel Webster in the Senate, has made another able and eloquent speech which held the attentions, as if spell-bound, of that sage and dignified body.— The occasion cf the speech was a bill making a grant of land to tho stale of Iowa, in aid of the construction of certain railroads, which inoidently involved a consideration of the publio domain.— Mr. Sumner's views, in regard to the public lands, were new, original, and forcible and very acceptable to the Senators from the west, especially from tho new States and it was predicted that his speech would have a greater circulation in the western press, than any speech that had ever been delivered in tho Senate. Mr. Sumner brought with him to the Senate, Ihe reputation of au accomplished scholar and graceful orator bat it was thought or at least alleged by some, that whilst he could make a handsome and showy specch^e was incapable of delivering a logical and practical argument.— His recent speech, however has shown the fallacy of this idea, and established beyond question, the fact, that he is a deep thinker and profound reasoner, as well as a brilliant and captivating orator.— His career in the Senate thus far, has boon dignified and statesmanlike, giving his attention to the consideration of grave and important national questions, and elevating himself far above the unworthy prejudice of sectional feeling, and the headstrong violence of bigotted factions. If he holds out as he has commenced, he oannot fail to establish for himself & national reputation, that will rank him among the ablest, the wisest, the most patriotic, and eloqueut statesmen of the country.

Candidates for the different State offices are beginning to muster in considerable number?. It is desirable that there should be a full attendance of delegates from Vigo and the adjoining oounties.— This county has appointed one hundred and ninety delegates to the democratic convention, and it is expected that nearly all will attend,and ifother counties do not send a pretty full delegation the decision of many impottaut questions may bo decided by the vote of a single county. The next will be au exciting week in this oity. It is expected that Kossuth will be here about the time of the sitting of the two conventions, probably the day after the democratic convention. Those of our people who wish to hear the illustrious Hungarian will do well to be prosent at tho conventions.

Yours, faithfully, VV'ABASH.
