of fetf nVthe eatire union and harmony of
?SeS between themse ve. and the New
TafcEvening Post.. The one is as much
deH-hSdaT& other, and both appeal to
rejoice with exceeding great joy.
JThe Union publishes the resotttt.ens as
adopted, but takes good care to throw under
Uie tahli or into the fire the resolution that
WM rejected, and all the debate and proceeds
inrs thereon. Now, the Evening -Post, the
grSat Democratic Free-soil organ o 'that par
ty in New York, and decidedly the ablest
and most consistent journal upon that side of
the question in that State, is more honest.
That paper, tells the rbhole story, and exults
at the result. The Union is not guilty of a
tuggestiofalsi, but it is of a suppresnoveri
It does cot tell "the truth, the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth," but just so much
of it asfsuits its own purpose, but which puts
' a false coloring upon the whole matter.
Let us bring the honest, fair-spoken, frank,
and disingenuous Evening. Post upon the
atandas a witness in this important matter.
r. fnrrA Mr. Pos take the stand, and
tell us why you so exult at whst wastfoneand
what was not done by the Democratic Free
Soil Convention at Syracuse, Be frank and
candid, as ym usually are. Go on, we lis
ten. What about the resolutions?
Evening Post. "The resolut ions are, in terms,
aubstantiaHy the same as those adopted last year,
BCT 1TOT AT ALL THE SAME IK THEIR SIGN1FI-
caitce. Ttie attempt to induce the Democracy
q of New York to approve of the policy of the pre
terit National Administration, wa voted dowa by
a large majority; and therein lies a moral which
we leave 10 tJie Union Safety committee and the
Journal of Commerce to digest at their leisure,-
What was not resolved by the convention x of far
graver significance than what was resolved, and we
trust it will put an end to those unhappy divi
sions in our party, in reference to Stale poLcy,
which can only result in protracting ihe power of
a; class ot men at Albany who have shown them
selves indifferent alike to the restraints con
science and the Constitution. Aware that differ
ence of opinion existed among Democrats about
the policy ol the present National MnuHisltation
--especially . about itf caowsiwo achievement,
the Fugitive Slave law the cohvektios
TEKT FEOPERLT REFUSED TO 6ITE IT THEIR AP
raovAL,or to permit Fuch an unnecessary and un
profitable issue to be introduced into the canvass."
And so vou Bav. Mr. Post, that your Dom-
ocxatic Free-sou. Syracuse Convention
considered the Fugitive Slave law as lhe
crowning achievement of 'the present Na
tional Administration,' and 'refused to
GIVE IT THEIR APPROVAL?'
Post. That is precisely what I said.
If we understand you, you mean to say
that while the resolutions that were adopted,
or rather readopted, being those adopted last
year, are in appearance an approval of the set
tlement made by Congress of the quesiions
which have divided the people of these
States in other words, of lbe measures
known by the name of 'the Compromise,
yet 'their significance' or meaning is very
different, and that,, in fact and in truth, they
condemn one of (hose measures, to wit, the
Fugitive Slave law?
Post. That is the unmistakeabie mean
ing of the language I have used. My opin
ions upon that subject are no secret to any
one "who chooses to be informed of them.
Will you now be good enough to state what
on meant by saying that What was hot
resolved by the convention is of tar graver
8 ignipic a n ce than what was resolved?'
"- Posf . Tbe meaning oftbia language is
very obvious when you receUect.what the
convention refused to do.
What was it?
Post; Why, 'Mr. Fowler, of Orange, for
himself, and Mr. Murray, of New York, sub
mitted the following additional resolution:
tved. That the Democratic rarty in the
State of New York will faithfully adhere to the
recent settlement, by Congress, of the questions
which have unhappily divided the people of these
Slates, and will neither countenance nor sanction
any sectional agitation or legislation on the sub
jects embraced in that settlement.' .
;Mr. Wright, of Schenectady, and Nye, or Ma
dison, urged the adoption of the report of the com
mittee; Mr. Maurice dissented, and offeied the
amendment above, voted down in committee. If
it was voted down it would be regarded as a sanc
tion of agitation and of legislation tending to ob
struct Uie free operations of the law.
"Mr. Murphy, sf Kings.sustainrd this view.-r-
He accused the resolutions of ambiguity, and of
confining themstlvts to an expression of adherent
Hifih&,'Cprnprcmie resolutions, as they stood at the
,fnsH fhe adoption thereof, ard kot iitclubisg

"Mr O.' Clark moved to laf- Mr. Maurice's
Amendment on the labb, without, carrying with it
the committee resolutions. ;
"The. president decided the jnot ion out of order
i "Mr. G rover appealed from ihis decision, .and
it was reversed -ayes 54v noes 56.
ij "Mr. Maurice's resolution was then laid on the
table 72 to 52." .
: I Then it seeros that the resolution among
those lately adopted, which purports to ap
prove the whole Compromise measures, and
Hhicb was adopted last year before ihe pas
Sage of Ike Fugitive Slave bill, doe a not i n
clude that law, and therefore has no refer
ence to it. li this the case?
! Post What .else could, I mean when I
said that 'ihe resolutions are, in terms, sub
stantially, fhe same as those adopted last year,
, but not at all the same in their significance?
I said, also, that Mr. Murphy accused the
resolutions of ambiguity that they did not
include the Fugitive Slave law: - '
Very well. You have been very frank
and explicit in your testimony, and may now
retire, unlf 6s our neighbor, tbe Union, wishes
to cross examine you.
Here we have the whole matter what
was done, and what the convention refused
. to do -all of whicb meets the warm and en
tire approbation of the. Umom, edited as it is

finally tuned their organ uj to the Evening

. presume, be concord and harmony between
' them. . ; . : ' " .
' The tTwiON, if we rightly remember, was
: iriuch concerned when a jesoiutmn offered
Cbv John'M. ' Scott; q., t the-Lancaster
Whig Convention, was laid on the table ;
bat not a word of complaint or censure has
escaped it thai a somewhat similar resolution
was laid upon the table by the Syracuse Con
venfiwj, and others, declaretl by Mr. Murphy
to be 'ambiguous and by the Evening Post
to be very? different . 'in their significance
from what they purported Jo be, were adop
ted. This reminds us of flop's fable of the
Farmer and the Lawyer. i-
Joha Van Buren can now, doubtless, cer
tify for the orthodoxy of the Democracy of
New York, as Senator Chase certifies tp that
of the Democracy of Ohio, and avow the
tame, determination to support the ticket
formed by the convention, for the' same fea
sons.to wit: though 'it is true that the conven
tion adonted no distinct resolution concern
ing the Fugitive Slave act;' nevertheless,
the position of the Democracy ot unio, Lcw
Ifork, J in relation to that odious enactment,
is sufficiently apparent by the Censure passed
upon it by the convention in the unanimous
I nomination," &c.
THE BOSTON JUJB1LEE; t f
THE CLOStXG PROCEEDINGS.
, , . Boston, September 19
The grand "finale of the three days Jubilee
in this city closed to-day, whh a military
and civicproceBsion -a dinnner on the Com
mon beneath ari immense tent made foe the
occasion, andageneral.illumtnation and fire
works in the evening. It is estimated that
over 100,000 strangers are in the city.
THE GREAT PROCESSION.
The procession started shortly before 1 1
o'clock, and was two hours and twenfy min
utes passing the Revere louse. The escort
was composed of Ihe National .Lancers, one
rigement of artillery, and a brigade of infan
try. The mechanical and manufacturing arts
were strongly represented, and constituted
the most interesting feature of the pageant.
This department was one mile in length
The Students of Harvard College, the various
Societies, and the Children of the Public
Schools, were out in gr at numbers. The
distinguished guests oi the city rode in open
carriages. Prominent among them was Lord
Elgin, whose reception among' the people
was' most cordial.
Tbe absence of the President from the pro
cession, on account of illness, caused some
disappointment. The. diversified and brilliant
decorations of the streets, and buildings on
the route, and the immesse crowds gathered
in the streets and on the balconies, presen
ted a scene impossible to describe.
THE DINNER.
After the -procession, dinner Was served up
under an immense tent on the Common.
About four thousand persons were present,
including President Fillmore.
On the removal of the cloth, Mayor Bige
low rose and said:
On account of the departure of the train,
it becomes necessary for the President of the
United States to leave us early; and I sup
pose that you, as well as myself, would be
unwilling that that misfortune should befal
this assemblage, until we have at least prof
fered him our respects in the ua.ua! manner.
(Applause.) I, thirefore, interrupt you thus
early m this part, to give you as a! sentiment
. "The health of the President of he United
States." j
The above sentiment was received by
three times three hearty cheers, after which
it was responded to by Mr Fillmore, as fol
lows: Mr. Mayor and fellow-citizens : In ac
knowledging the compliment which you
have paid to the high office which it is my
fortune to bold, I rise rather for the purpose
of excusing myself than of making a speech.
You have been pleased to drink my health.
1 wou'd it were as perfect on the occasion as
it usually is; but, unfortunately, a slight in
disposition within the last twenty-four hours
has deprived me of the great pleasure which
I should have enjoyed this day, in participa
ting in your exercises. I am unable to par
take of the costly viands under which your
miles of tables groan; I am scarcely able to
enjoy the 'feast of reason and flow of soul;'
and, more than all this, I am compelled by
imperious circumstances to leave vou thus
eaily in this banquet, because I feel that my
public duties require that I should be at Wash
ington with the utmost possible despatch. I
have stolen from the hours that were perhaps
due to the nation a brief space to meet my fellow-citizens
in the city of Boston. (Ap
plause.) 1 meftt you as citizens of Boston.
On this festive occasion we know no party
distinction. (Applause.) Nay, more, we
scarcely known a 'national distinction.
(Great applause and cheers.)
There are gathered around this festive
board the American and the 'Briton, liyin
under different laws, but, thank God, two of
the freest nations und r the sun. (Cheering )
me iiui e asperity mat wast engendered bv
the Revolution which separated us from our
mother country, I am happy to say has lony
since disappeared, and we meet like breth
ren of the same family. Speaking the same
language, and enjoying the same religion,
are we not one? (Applause.)
Feljow-citizens, I trust that Jhe unexpec
ted necessity that. compels me to leave you
thus early on this festive occasion will induce
no one to leave the table on my account.' 1
trust particularly that his Lordship, the Gov
ernor of Canada, will remain with you. (Ap
plause.) ' I know that he, and those with
whom he is associated,, will receive.from you,
as they have already received, a most cordial
greeting (Applause.) But fellow-citizens, i
can say no more; my heart is full. I had no
c0ncr.pti.9n of what t witnessed this day from
my window. I thought I saw Boston in all
its g'ory when I first came info Its borders. I
knew that it had its merchant princes, but I
did not know until to-dav that it had its me-
I - 11 t "
cnanic noDie-men 01 nature . (lireat applause
and cheering,) --.
But, fellow-citizens, pardon me, and per
mit me to bid you adieu. I can assure you
that this joyous occasion will be remembered
oy me to tbe latest hour of my life. I .shall
look back upon it with delight, and I trust
that my children will also. Mafrthe H
Union, which sheds these blessings over a
happy people of 25,090,000, continue tintil
time shall be no longer.- (Nine cheers.) "
.Lord iJgin One sing'e word. fThre'e
vMeere.; 1 snouia nave.ielt ti my bounden
duty to follow the President of the United
States out of this room, if he had not ffiven
mean order Id the contrary; and while I am
in me tervuory .ot the United States I con
stder myself under his authority. (Applause.)
-And as he imposed upon me his command
to remain with you, most certainly I shall re
main. ; (Applause.) But I must say I never
rectrrvra an oroer Deiore, Irom any authority,
which more completely jumped with my own
wishes. (Laughter and applause.)
jne-rresiaent having giveti the hand of
ieuowsmp and tarewelt to Lord Elgin, May
or Bigelow; and others, left the pavilion,
Hon. A. H. Stuart. Secretary of thelnte
rior.having beejn called.upon, spoke as fol
I0W8: .
Gentlemen: I have no time to respond
toyour flatteriijg call for a speech. The
President lias told you that the hour for our
departure has come. Tcan only speak with

I ; Hon. Mr. Conrad, Secretary of War, hav-

Gentlemen: 1 1 am summoned to depart,
olhetwise I should, take great pleasure in ad;
dressing a few remarks to you, on this, one
of the most agreeable, and I may say one of.
the happiest moments of my life. I go
away from Boston! with the frank declaration
although-1 said a few days ago that I wa
not a stranger upon your soi!--that I iave
never before known what Boston was. (Ap
plause ) I haye never known the heartiness,
the cordiality, tbe warmth of the true New
England character, and it satisfies me that it
has not degenerated from the character of
the fbrefatherf of j the country.
' I regret exceedingly that 1 am compe$el
to tak this unceremonious and abrupt de
parture, and to inierrupjt the flow of your
festivities by so sudden a retreat. But yon
know the necessity. The President .awaits
me, and I bid you farewell I hope a short
farewell for I hepe it will -not be lone before
I shall have an opportuni'y to visit Boston,
and to pay my respects to her citizens, and
especially to public ; friends , whpm I- have
known before, but whose acquaintance jL
have, now formed ; .'in their private capacity
and at. their homes. I bid you fare well and
wish to all of y ou all possible prosperity and
happiness. (Applause.)
"Secretaries Stuart and Conrad having ta
ken leave of Lord Elgin, Mayor Bigelow
and .others, here left the Pavilion. 4
Speeches were Afterwards made -by Lord
Elgin, Gov. Boutwell, Edward Everett, R.
C. Winthrop, Hon. Joseph Howe, of Nova
Scotia, Hon. Mr. Hincks, of Canada, and
others.
The festivities closed about 7 o'clock.
We welcome, with the greatest pleasure,
from Massachusetts, voices like the following,
which, it will be perceived, precisely concur
with what we said upon the same matter a
few days since: :
From the Boston Courier of September 15.
Practical: Working of the Higher
Law. The deplorable event which we have
just had occasion to chronicle in our colums
namely, the murder of two American cit
izens bv an armed mob of negroes must
give a most serious and alarming turn to the
thoughts of every man who has been heieto
tore in the habit of looking with any forbear
ance upon the doings of the Abolitionist and
Freesoil. agitators. There is no man of com.
mon information who does not see that this
melancholy occurrence never would have ta
ken place but for the instigations which have
been applied to the ignorant and deluded
blacks by the fanatics of the "higher law"
creed. They are the principals in the mur
det, the bKcks are the agents; the principals
will escape punishment, while the unhappy
and misguided agents are sure, to suffer.
All this was clearly foreseen from the be
ginning, and distinctly pointed out to the
Dublic. wherever common sense and rnmmnn
discretion had any connexion with the news-
.1 . .. .
paper press, in me nature at tning. could
an v other conseauences than sedition, riot.
1 1
and murder, with their regular concomitanta
of evil and suffering, follow the teachings of
. . . . . .
tnose maumen who have Deen urging people
to resistance against legal authpnty?
Again we say, these dreadful deeds of
blooshed ought to bring to his senses every
man who has been so far misled as to lend
tbe smallest countenance to the anti-slavery
"higher-law"doctrine. What has been done
in Pennsylvania at the instigation of the
pseudo-philanthropist in that region might, for
mere accident, have taken place at our own
doors, as a consequence of the insane ravings
of Theodore Parker, Wendell Phillips, Gar
lison.Stc. If we have escaped blooshed thus
far, it has been owing to the greater self
restraint of the blacks in this quarter, greater
cowardice in the apostles of sedition and mur
der. And now let any man ask of himself, who
are the real friends of the blacks? Are those
men their friends who stir them up to crime,
and then. leave ihem to suffer the penalties
of the law? Are those men their friends wha
are doing their utmost to change their char
acter from that ofpeact able and inoffensive
beings to that of rioters and shedders of blood?
Are those men their friends who are foment.
ing between them and the whites that most
savage and inappeasable of all hostilities, the
war of races? Are those men their friends
who, under the name ot philanthropy, eman
cipation, equal rights, and the like fine-sounding
phrases, have in all quarters brought up
on them increased oppression and animosity,
a heavier present evil and a blacker pros
pect of the future? who have added weight
to the chains of the slave, and made the free
black an object of jealousy and suspicion ?
who are mnkingr diM-ker and mnre HmaVv tko
house of bondage, and removing further off
the day of universal freedom?
The sad destiny which awaits the colored
race in this country, khould they -continue
much longer under the guidance of snrh
"friend," is well depicted in the following
cam at is ironrme vt. x. express:

blaek which will Drevent their further
into Pennsylvania, if not their expulsion there-
irom. x ne oiooa or wnite men in the faithful exe
cution of the Constitution and the Laws cannot
be shed with impunity by th blaek men ; and
when it is so shed, that blood will sow the seeds
of retribution, the product of which, ii is easy to
foresee, will be the conviction that the two races
cannot live together! in the free States as they
have been living until the Abolitionists taught
them to arm against and to shoot white men
Indiana has already reached that conviction, and
the negro is forbidden to enter that State; but
this is only a step preparatory to bis expulsion, if
Abolitionism keeps up its excitement and its ef
forts to aVray th black man against the white
man.
The atrocious mufders that have been perpetra
ted in Pennsylvania by a mob of colored people
they are held responsible for under the laws, as
they were the instruments used to perpetrate the
murders; but the real murderers are the white
Abolitionists vho advised .the negroes to arm and
JJ?f,aLLheulaw, sur.renieririg the fugitive slave.
The "higher law" we have been hearing so much
in theory is only the musket and bullet in prac
tice ; and when the ignbritnt negro is taught this
higher law, he knows no other way to execute
its high behest Hence, when the lower law, as
it is nicknamed, of the Constitution and of the
federal Government, is brought to bear upoir one
of Ins face, he naturally resorts to the higher Jaw
of shooting the other race; and so name these
murders and these rndbs we record to day in
Pennsylvania. - !

rhe state of things in ndlania, above allu

The Lafayette Journal says : .
"The ; free colored population of the United
States amount to about half a million, and the ma
jor portion of this number are engaged in-menial
occupations in our larze cities. A a general
.thing, they appear to be contented with' their lot,
out the action of several or the estates, in passing
prohibitory laws to their further emigration, like
Indiana, js arousing them to proper appreciation
of their destiny, n We prcffiSf that this is
only a commencement of a war against the blacks.
The next step in the work will be to expatri
ate them from the Free States by compulsory
means. We believe, if a vote in the State
of Indiana to expel every negro from its borders
were taken to day, it would be carried in the af
firmative two to one. To this rule of expatria
tion the black race is inevitably tending. We are
more and more convinced of this every day. We
voted against the negro clause of the new Con
stitution, but on looking over the vote in the sev
eral counties, we.find ourselves in a minority of
over ten to one. We voted against that clause
because it made no provision to colonize the blacks
irom tne country.
PLANK ROAD TO RALEIGH.
The Stockholders in the Fayetteville and
Northern Rank Road, at their general Meet
ing on Saturday last, upon hearing the report
of their Engineer, determined to locate their
road from the market square in Fayettville,
through t'erson street, to a point on the Cape
Fear; thence on the East side of that river
to Raleigh. The routeXsfill pass some twelve
or fifteen miles West of Smithfield, so as to
enable the Stockholders to project a branch.!
as soon as the subsoption to stock in that
place will justify it.
A resolution was adonted to prosecute the
work with all possible dispatch; and hand
are already on the first section of the route,
between the River and McPhail's, three miles
distant, near the juncture of the Raleigh and
Taiborough roads, and contracts made for the
Lumber.
In the location, this route will be a common
road, both to Raleigh and Warsaw, for at leait
five or six miles making one bridge across
the Cape Fear River and the road as far as
Archibald Holmes's answer for both. The
route from McPhail's is contemplated to run
near bmith s Mill, on Black River, thence
neat Steward's Mil, on Mingo, thence to the
cross roads, near Esquire Stevens's, thence
me best line, crossing Middle Creek between
Finch's Store and Leach's Mill, thence by
Raitd'a MrH 4o Raleigh.
A resolution was also adopted, offering a
compromise wun me "Joint Stock flank
Road," who are projectinsr a road to Raleish
on the West side of the Cape Fear River:
and the matter was left with a committee
consisting of D. G. Mac Rae, J. G. Shep-
nera, ana a. a. McK.elhan, to arrange.

jiftKICKINGAifeYANKEEvi' h ,11
A verv handsome friend of ours. . who a few
weeks since was pketl ou t of a very'comfortable
office up the river, has betaken himself to Bangor
awhile, to recover from the wound inflicted upon
his feelings by our immolating administration.
Change of air must have had instant effect upon
his spirits, for from Galena he- writ us a very a
musiag letter, which, among otherlbinos, .tells us
of a desperate quarrel that ; took plac on board the
boat between a real live dandy tourist and .a real
live Yankee settler. The latter trod on the toes or
the former, whereupon the former threatened to
"kick oat of the cabin" the latter.
'You'll kick me out of the cabiu !
'Yes, sir, I'll kick you out of this cabin
'You'll kick me, Mr. -Hitchcock, out of this cab
in!' . ; .
Yes, sir, 111 kick your Mr. Hitchcock!'
Well, I guess sid the Yankee very coolly,
after being satisfied that it waa himself that, stood
in such imminent peril of assault, I guess, since
you talk of kicking, you never heardrne tell about
old Bradly and my mare, : there tu hum V
'No, sir, nor da 1 wish
' Wal; guess it won't set you back much, any
how, as kicking is generally best to be considered
on. You see, old Bradley is one. of those sancti
monious, long faced hypocrites, who put a religions
su t on every Sabbath triorning, and with a good
deal of screwing manage to keep it. on till after
church jn the afternoon. Wal,hehad an old roan
mare, that would jump over any sixteen rail fence
m Illinois, and open any barn that hatTtit a pad
lock on it. Two or three' times I found her in my
stable, and I told Bradley about it. He was very
sorry an unruly animafc would watch her, and
in a serious manner, with a face twice as lung as
old Deaeon Farm's on Sabbath day. I knew all
the time he was lying, and so I watched him, and
bis old roan .u, and for three nights regular old
roan come to my stable about bed-time, and -just
about daylight old Bradley would come, bridle
her, and ride her off. I then took my old mare to
the blacksmith's, got corks made about four inches
long, and had 'era nailed to her hind feet. Your
heels, mister, ain't nothing to 'em t took her
hum, gave her about ten feet halter, and tied her
right in the centre of the stable, fed iier well with
oats about cine o'clock, and uking a good smoke,
went to bed, knowing that my old mare was a
truth. telling animal, and that she'd givea good re
port of herself in the morning. I wasn't fairly
asleep, before the old 'uman hunched me, and
wanted to know what on earth was the mailer at
the stable. Says I, 'Go to sleep, Peggy ; it's
nothing but Kate she's kicking off flies, I guess.'
Pur y soon she hunched me ag tin, and says she
' 'Mr. Hitchcock, du get op and see what in the
world it the matter With Kate.'
"Lay still, Peggy; Kate wdl take eare of her
self, I guess '
4Wal, the next mornini, about davliaht, Brad
ley, with his bridle in his hand, cum to (he stable,
and as true as the book of Genesis, when he saw
the old roan's sides, head, and starn, he cussed and
swore worse than you did, mister, when I come
down on your toes.
'Arter breakfast that mornio', Joe Davis cum to
my house, and says he
'Brad ey's old roan is nearly dead she's cut
all to pieces, and can scarcely move.'
I want to know-,' says I, 'how on arth did it
happen V
'Now, wh 1st we were talking, up cum that ever
lasting hypocrite, Bradley, and says he
'Mr. Hitchcock, niy old roan is ruined !'
"Du tell,' says I.
'She's all cut to pieces,' says he ; do you know
whether she was in your stable last night?'
W.al, mister, with this I let out : 'D. you know
it V (ihe Yankee here, in illustrating, made a sud
den advance on tbe dmdy, who m ide way lor him
unconsciously , as it were); 'do I know it, you no
uouled, squash headed, old night-owl,-you ! you
hay-hooktn, corn-cribbin. fodder-fugin, cent-shav-in,
whitfin of nothin, you ! Kate kicks like a
mere dum beast, but I've reduced the thing to a
science!"
The Yankee had not erased to advance, or the
daudy, in his astonishment, to retreat; and now,
the motion of Ihe latter being accelerated by an
apparent demonstration to suit the action to the
word, he found himself in the 'social hall,' lumb
ling backwards over a pile of baggage, and tear
ing the knee of his pants as he scrambled up, a
perfect scream of laughter stunning him from all
sides. The defeat was total ; a few moments af
ter he was seeo dragging his own trunk on shore,
while Mr. Hitchcock finished his story on tue
boiler-deck. ST. Louis Reveille.
