Tint effect will b.?, that lerrilory, over which slavery now exists, equal to-two states, will be wrcju.-d from the South, and will be given up to the non-lavcho!din? stales. The pretext is, that there is soma doubts as to the bounda ries of Texas. Texas, by her laws, when aba was admitted into the Union, had but one bound iry toward the West, and that boundary was the Kio- Grande. . , 1 V Vat -tus pMH-usiofl isei iip'rti!rt hertcrrtttt. ry does not extend to wilhi.i .thrae hundred miles of the Missouri sa-npromts line, where Congress, in receiving bar into the Union, da lerunned that her territory should b 3 divied ba-tw-eu ill a slave holding snd uou-nlaveTioU'.iig StttteSi Texas is die only Sta iti in the Um.oit whicu has Uift s dema rguarantee. of ihe guvem rnent of lbs Unittcd Sutes in every possible fornr Wr-hcr tron-rrresrr--Y'ft th is rhrj0T--emineht whir-h d.spnles tlnimj arij unde;. .ihs, mxt ihit" cy-ati Very ''ttjuh-JuC propoa ' u tsikefraia hor nes 1 oas hill her lerraery.

Her bouudary of the Eio Grande to its source a lone gave her this country; and Was thus re cognized and ratified by the resolutions of an nexation. To vindicate this boundary for Texas, us a member of the Union, the Mexi can war took place; and in the treaty of Uaud dalonpe llid.dgo, II was finally vindicated and settled by a clause in the treaty, desig nating the Kto Grande as tha bouudery be tween New Mexico and the United Stales. Thus uy the laws of Texas, by the legislation of I'uiigress, and by a solemn treaty of the United States, Hie Kio Grande is the Western boundary of Texas. . It is imdouhufdly proper ihaiTexas should be quieted a to her b luud.ires; but site should hi: nuieted by a law ol Congress, plainly ae- knowledgiiijj llicm.

Thus the southern slates w.li be hemmed in by the non slave- holding states on their whole western border loiiij etnl 'of abolishing slavery in the suulheril s ates. What cm compensate thesonth for siiua enormous wrong and spotiatiau. But this is not the end of your concessions by ilits rvpuia, We must not yield to the in-tec.-!, hut lo the p.-pjudieies of the northern peopL-. Slavery existed in the district of Co lumbia when '.'ongress accepted the cession of ling territory ,-imposing it from the Slates of Maryland and Virginia. So one can sup jiiia - dial Maryland and Virginia, slaveholding Stales then, and slav cliolding Stales now, cou.d have designed to give Congress any pow er o er lite insiit ilion of slavery in this territory. ' Independently of ilie wrong to the p. 'Old.; of the district, to einaiicipite their slaves, it would he an intolerable evil to have a District between litem where em incipalion prevails by th:' ..ttlhoriiy of Congress. Con gress, iu ihe bill reported as a part of the so. d compromise, now begins the work 'f eiiiauc.paiion by declaring, that if any slave is brought into the D strict for sale, be shall be "ltbitratyu and free." If a slave il Itiieruted because he is brougltl into the Diltrict, the next step, to liberate him because he in'il the U'ulricl, is not difficult. The power lo cmaoripritr) ttie slave iu the District of Columbia is thus cliimtd and ex orcised by Cungrrsa. Many of the ablest men of tiie south have denied that Congress pos sesses any s jell power, whilst all agreed, until lately, tint for Congress to interfere with this institution, whilst slavery existed in Maryland and Virginia, would be a gross breach of faith inward those- States ami an outrage upon tint whole south. How long will that facility w hieli yields to thcprejudljitrasuist the buying and selling of slaves be stylo to rjpsist the great er prejudice which exist agiaisl the holding of slaves in all the 1 list net oft 'olumbia? For all these sacrifices to the interests and jircjudices of the people of the north, the souih is tendered the last measure of die com promisj the fugitive slave bill as thoy pro ii jsa to auntud it. To understand th extent of the concession the south receives, on llioij point, we must louk to the rights the constitu tion confers. The framsrs of the constitution were par foctly aware lint tha General Goveruinsut could have but little lower lo t-scuru to them their fu-ritive slaves m the non-slarelitdding statrta, Tlio whole internal polies of a slate mu: brrr-r threotfrfif of the ttate, and by this chietly cpuld slaves Us reeaptufed.

W hat (an they do in such a state as l'ennsylrania to recover ' fugitive slaves! lit u Congress does all ' that it. can do by legislation, to enforce die constitution it only does its duty lo Uie south. There can bo no concession or favor to Uie sonth, iu giving her only what she has a right lo have under the eondtitutibn unless, indeed, the constitution for her has no existence. The bill -then is, in the first place, inadequate to restore to us our ftigive slaves, and, in the second place, gives the south nothing but what she is entitled lo. if this was all, there would be nothing in the bill for which we should con cede anything to the north. But il U Hot VII. Under the pretext of bestowing on us a hem-lit, it perpetrates a usurpation on the re served rights of lite stales. It prov ides lb at a slave may arraign his master, by the author ity of laws made by Congres, before the court of the stale and the United Stales, to Iry his right to his freedom. If Congress can legislate at all between the master and a si in a stan-f where can itspowrrr be" stay ed: It can abolish slaverv tu the states. Thus a power is assflffled IirTlia bill wiiich virtually extends the jurisdiction of Congress over slavery in the suit -a. And this is a ben efit to the south! Under a guise of a benefit, Ihe bill is useless in its usurpations. Such are the various measures w-hlch constitute ihis compromise. We do POt believe thai many of th politi cians, still less that the people ol the south w'to have expressed a willingness to support il were aware of its purport. We fuUy appreciate and duly honor the motives of those would restore tranquility to tha coun try, nor shall we impugn in anv form those who have assisted to frame or who have yielded a support to the measure, lint, if our. view ol its provisions aro correct, instead of a "com prom ise,' ft is a comprehensive scheme of emancipation; and, if p issed by Congreis, will only heap new indignities upon die south. So far from pacifying lilt people or the slave holding states, it should arouse ilieni tu re newed efforts to t indicate Iheir rights and insti tutions. Why the iioii-slavehnldnig sl ip's do not support these measures, we are unable to understand, unless it be that a haiighly fanati cism, inllated with success, disdains accom plishiug its object by indirection. If these measures, however, were really a compromise in which the south had equal rains with the uorlh, it would 4a a dimbldul expedi ency lor the sou ih to -sropse it. Three times in Congress, difriiigi thai controversy, tne sotiiti ftas propotjp-J the flfjiissourt coin promise which has b'ewa thnapitmea rejected by the north. Twice sfi'Tias proposed a compromise by which she consented to leave it to the courts ol the United Slates to deter mine her rights. Instead of requiring sternly thur . xecijgnitioa by Congress, fifteen aover- eigu stales have consented to be carried into the couru of the cuuntry and there to submit lhvir saveteigti. l iulttt in a-Uiraiwry.,.elonging I to litem to their hunt arbitrament, I heir hu miliation tUrrJ nor win the respect or confidence of the north, and the proposition was twice rejected. Tho south, in our opinion, might accept one other compromise, not because it lias, .beep, twret tVltltuYCifi'Xr-jriKi'iii wlmTiavegone be fore .us....

We should lake this line, as a partition line between the two sec tions of the Union; and besides this, nothing but what the constitution bestows. Although the northern stit-.-s would acquire py this otn promise thre-fimrttiof :ewartnt-temto--ry, they will have reumneed the iusuirereble pretension of restricting and preventing the ex tension of th : south, whist they should exiend indefinitely. - - - Having thus, fellow-citizens, laid before you a statiiiicnt of your condition your rights and the remedy whieh. under present circum stances, you should accept, we leave yoe fur a brief space of time. Until Congress ad journs, w e cannot know what it will do or fail Ui do. We iuuit therefore meet again after its adjournment, to consider tha final condition in which it will leave you. We recommending oh and exhort you lo send jhi eg ites from every county and district in the southern slates to meet us when we again as semble. It is no ordinary occasion which has assmlded us together.
