We arc rejoiced to learn that1 even in thit county, which has always been remarkable for its adherence to Jackson-Yan Burenisrh,. there is a'tremendoas revolu tion taking place in' public sentiment, which promises the most auspicious 'results. It is considered very doubtful, whether SAC5DF.as or Mobxbka.d will ob tain the majority m this County, though the opinion is confidently expressed that the latter will run ahe&d.

The whole scheme was concocted by a few Van Buren jnen in Oswego, among whom are some office-holders, and the " Association?' was selected as a fit instrument for carrying the infamous fraud into effect! An Oswego ian had, a short time before, removed to Cincinnati. He was a crony of many of the Association, and to lights now before me, feel myself safe in pronouncing that Congress does not possess the power of interfer ing with or abolishing slavery in the District of Co lumbia. But, whilst such are my present impressions upon the abstract question of the legal power in Con gressimpressions which I shall at all times be not only ready, but disposed, to surrender upon conviction of error I do not hesitate to give it to vou as my delib erate and well considered opinion that there are op- him the pretended reply of Gen.
