' You are yoursolf ip a state of mental vassalage. You have given up every thing to the ono idea of slavery protection, and the public interest and the national honor claim your care only so far as they arc affected by this useless; senseless, and mischievous dogma. Worse still, it has so far blinded your reason that j you accept as holy truth, when coming trom the j Seceding Conventional Chaileston, the very doc- j trine from by lialtimore : "Rctulced, That it is the duty of the Federal Gov ernment ip alt its department to protect, when ne cessary, th rights of persout nnd ' property in the Territories, and wherever else its coustitutiuual au thority extends." , Now, this is precisely the . position taken by i Mr. Hell more than ten years a'-o.

Homer and Virgil tell us that, after ten years of atduous labor and haid fighting, tho Greeks wero unable, to enpture, by force of arms, the an cicnt city of Troy. All the wisdom oT Nestor. the did macy of Ulyssos, tho generalship' of Agamemnon, tliogallantry of Achilles, nnd tholJou! robbed you!! and finally betrtyed headlong daring of Ajnx, could not avail against the brazen gates and solid buttrcwes of the re - nowned old city. They steadfastly resisted every assault, and despair was about to scizo on the heirt of tho besieging host. liut, at length stratagem effected what chivalry could not accom plish. TheOreoliS (hnutructed a uunstcr wooden horse, into tho belly ot which they introduced n body of armed men. The Greeks then made n gift of the l.orsi to the Trojans, who received it with great jot, regarding it as an evidence of the inten tion of lb 4 tl recks tonbandon the siegi, and re turn o theirown country. The hor.e was carried. ihiid gtaataccljima i ma, within the walls of Troy, and the happy citizens, for the first time, in many yei.r, slept, ss they supposed, in perfect security. As soon as night had thrown her sable mantle over the devoted city, and her confiding citizens were buried in profound slumber, the wily (Jreeks quietly emerged from their hiding phice in the belly of the horse, opened the gates of the city for their expectant countrymen, who rushed in, pell-mell, fired the city, and put tho citizens in discriminately to the sword. Thus perished the celebrated city of Troy. History is said to bo "philosophy teaching by examples. J lie story ol the itj of Troy is a striking illustration of the truth of this terse proverb; It is replete with instruction. It is choke-full of philosophy ! It teaches the danger of receiving gifts from enemies, and of trusting in the professions ot old opponents. 'ay, it ad monishes us if the necessity of caution in our in tercourse with renegades and neophytes, iu poli tics, as well ns in arms ! . Ileing, at this time, in a very calm and philos ophic frame bt mind, we have been led to this train of thoughts by the cuiteuiplalioii of the present condition of our friends, the modern Trojans the Democratic party !

Finally, profiting by the teachings of the Greeks at the siege of Troy, we resorted to a sim ilar system of strategy to that which proved the destruction of that unhappy city ! We did not, it is true, build a wooden horse, but we did that which was equivalent to it ! We selected a chosen band of our most gallant and trusted Whigs, dis euised them as Democrats, and sent them info the encampment of our ancient adversarvrwhcrcTrt'9u'v,-sot the Massachu bv professing to have changed their faith, and to Tiave become converts to Democracy, they wormed themselves into the conudence ot the modern Trojans, and were invested by them with the robes of office, and seated in the high scats of the Tro- j 'he ground of a motion tor its rejection.

We have heretofore said that we ouly regretted that our National Convention, at Daltimore, did not re ailirin nnd endorse the Territorial leg'wla tim of I "Jiil, as the just nod constitutional solu- -tion of the relation of the Federal Government towards slavery in tho Tcnitories. 'We knew Mr. ilell to be consistently and steadfastly the ad vocate of that policy, because ho was in tho Sen: nto in l.viO and sustained the measures, and bu cnuse he has since emphatically announced hU adherence to them, liut Mr." Kverett was not so fully committed, and we have heretofore been able to find only his declared approval of thoso acts and that policy in n speech uiade in $"A. Jiutnow, sincy his nomination, ho has repeated his endorsement of and adherence to the princi ples of the legislation of 1."H, and we are better satisfied with this vuluntaty declaration than with' a virtual approval by the acceptance of a nomina tion "and the platform muiexed."
