The South having enjoyed, almost exclusively, the control of the federal government, trom the date of its existence, it has been, for the most part, the exclu- sive dispenser of those honors and emoluments; and this, doubtless, has greatly contributed to this senti- ment. If, from these, or any other causes, the people of the free States have suffered in the estimation of the South, or of the world, the time has now come, when they owe it to themselves, amd to the nation, to re- deem their character from this reproach. Both the late political parties have the opportunity to do, and are called upon to do this; they may unite in the effort without any abandonment of their distinctlve principles, The old issues, which for the last twenty Years have divided them, are now settled or set aside; a new issue has been presented in which ail minor differences—and in which differences that under other circumstances would be important—are merged and swallowed up. It is important too, that this effort should now be made, and that, if possible, it should be made to suc- ceed. Resist the beginning, is the maxim of political not lessthan of m ral science. This is the first time since the formation of the government, that the slave While retaining its distinct political associa- tions with the two great national parties, has been able to seize and to sway. the sceptres of each.

Another question involved in this issue, as presented to the democracy of New York, though personal to them, is scarcely less important. Noone who is cow- ardly, time serving, or timid, can be respected by his fellow men. In proportion as he fails in manly inde- pendence, will he be visited with universal dis-esteem and contempt. What is true of individuals, is true of the masses. The community which has not spirit enough to maintain its rights of opinion. of utter- ance and of action—which can give up. at the dicta- tion of others, its convictions of truth and duty; which can now be coaxed or now driven into the abandon- ment of principle ; which can sacrifice to a present ex- pediency the interests of the future. and sell its birth- right for a mess of pottage—such a community may, indeed. prosper fora season in the pursuits of traffic or the scrambie for patronage; but its infidelity to the cause of truth and the sentiment of honor, will soou be followed by a just and terrible retribution. When it wins for itself the name of a people without{self-res- pect, how can it command the respect of other States? Of what v»lue is national wealth without national ho- nor?

The movement commenced by the barnburners of this State being one of great importance in the present state of the country and of parties, we have spared no pains or trouble in fully explaining it in the columns of this journal. We accordingly pub- lished reports of John Van Buren’s speeches, on several occasions; ex-President Van Buren’s letter to the Utica Convention; a full report of the pro- ceedings and nomunations of that convention; and to-day, we publish 1n our columns, the promuncia- mento of that convention, to all good and true barnburners, in this and all other States, on the earth, over the earth, and in the waters under the earth—out of which it is supposed Mr. Van Buren has been fisned by some of the faithful, with a hook baited with the Presidency. This pronunciamento is a curious and remarka- ble document. - It embraces, in full, the principles advocated by the new party called barnburners, and contains a clear exposition of their doctrines and position. It purports to explain the causes that compelled them to hoist a separate standard, repudiate the proceedings of the Baltimore Con- vention, and nominate candidates of their own for down as “the basest of the kingdoms?” The duty of New York in the present crisis is, thero- fore, plain and imperative Independently of the in- terest common to them with others, the democracy of our State are summoned, by special motives, to take the lead in determined and uncompromising hostility to the demands and the measures of the slave power. It has ineolently sported with our rights. traduced our fame. and wounded our honor. This, of iteelf, would be sufficient cause for resistance; for in the language,not less just than beautiful, in its application to the public honor, of the greatest of poets— _ tt Rightly to be groat, Is not to stir without great argument, But greatly to find quarrel ina straw. When honor's at the stake.” It was in this temper, that the sages and patriots of our cc untry’s heroic age, perilled life and all life’s bles- sings in the revolutionary conflict. It was not merely the taxes imposed by a body in which they were not represented. against which they rebelled, To the in- jury inflicted by British laws, there was added the in- sulting pretension incorporated in them. that the par- liament had the right to bind the colonies in all cases whateoevtr, So long as this averment continued in the record, no modification or repel of the obnoxious taxes could satisfy the free spirit ef our ancestors. We should be unworthy of such a lineage—wo should be unfit to dwell within a State distinguished above others, by its early and constant adhesion to the prin- ciples of democratic liberty; a State, which furni+hed in the persons of Leisler and Melbourne. the first mar- tyrs of this continent, to the cause of freedom—a State which boasts among its sons of its Clintons, its Jay, its Livingstons, its Tompkins—a State which contains the ashes of Montgomery, the monument of Emmet, and the grave of Lawrence—a State which, for their whole active lives, was the abode of Alexander Hamilton and of Silas Wright—we should dishonor its soil and bring reproach upon its name, were we fo lost to vir- tue and to manly thought, as tamely to receive from ' the hands of our insulters the yoke they had prepared for ourselves and our posterity. In the throes and spasms with which the slave power labors to perpetuate its ascendancy, nothing is more common than the threat to dissolve or depart from the Union. unless the free States yield to Its deumnde Such threats will produce no effect on the democracy of New York. Not that wedo not love the Union;— not that we should not shudder at the possibilfty of its dissolution. We prize it as above all price. We have never attempted. we will not be provoked. to calculate its value. We shall never enter on so chimerical, so unpatriotic @ task. No arithmetic, known to us, is adequate to reckon up the worth, of even a thousandth part of the golden chain whieh binds together, in per- petual bonds, the States of this confederacy. But when we listen to the vainglorious boastings, the eplenetic ebulitions of the hot-headed and hot-blooded leaders, who asume to speak for the entire South, in many cases, doubtless, with just as much authority as they assume to dietate to the North; we are sometiines compelled tovusk ourselves, what would be the North— what, especially, would be New York, if the folly and maduess of the Southern slave power should really break up this ancient and long-cherisned union of the States? New York, with a territory possessing boundless ad- vantages for foreign andinternal trade; with a tem- perate and healthful sky, and with extensive districts of fertile soils; with abundant supplics of salt and iron. and peculiar facilities of every kind of manufacturing industry; with a population greater now than that of England at the era ef American colonization, and infeh well be increased borders to four times its arnomber; with sev interna! trade, numbering. respectively, from twenty te fifty thousand inhabitants; and. towering above them sil. in queenly pride. the commercial metropolis of this hemisphere; with a fereign commerce that Drings to the federal government more than one-third of its revenues by imposts; with these resources in jon and in prospect. what shall hinder her. if Rho nultifiers of the constitution and the abolitionists of freedom—the blind leaders of the blind—shall. by accident or design, drive on their followers to the sin and folly of secession. from being and remaining the chief of the new republics, into which the American States will then be parcelled out? But Néw York has no such false ambition. She will never © shoot madly from the sphere” in which faith and duty bind her. She is content to move ia the orbit they have marked. She pauses not to enquire whether she receives as much as she bestows ; still less to ask whether she might shine more brightly in « pathway of her own. In love and loyalty to the Union she finds her purest joy—a joy which she would not exchange for the gratification of a selfish aggrandise- ment. or the spoils of victory. poorly purchased with the suerifice of principle. However adverse may be the signs. however unpropitious the omens, she will cling forever to the Union; nor will she abandon the hope that reason will, ere long. resume her sway, and justice assert her power in the minds of her sisters of the South. When this consummation, so devoutly to be wished for. shail have come, our Soutbern brethren, we are sure, will again delight to tread with us the path of tivie dnty and of honorable fame. In the interval, be it long oF be it short, the people of New York will quit themeclves like men; for in so doing they will not only best preserve their interests and their honor, bat best secure the respect of their adversaries. They will act worth? of those who fell. under the eye of Wash- ington, on the heights of Long Island—of those who conquered with Gates and Schuyler, on the plains of SAMUEL YOUNG, President.

It is from the pen of the Hon, Benjamin F. Butler, or Citizen Buller, ashe has been dubbed by the new party. The opinions and views promulgated in it, attract a prodigious deal of attention, and are looked upon as of great importance in this part of the country, and soon will receive equal attention in other parts of the Union, especially in the North and East. The importance of the movement, however, is much overrated, in consequence of Mr. Van Buren’s personal connection with it, and from the fact of his bewg nominated as the candidate of that party. This, however, is the smallest feature about it. It has, in fact, given importance to him, and not he toit. This attempt, on the platform of the Wilmot proviso, and ulti- mately to embody the whole anti-slavery sentiment of the North, has given to Mr. Van Buren person- ally an importance which he does not deserve, and a degree of consequence—a dangerous conse- quence—which he has never heretofore possessed in any of the various positions which he has been placed in before the country. It 18 like digging him out of the retirement of Lindenwald, as geo- logists dig beneath the earth for some curious and extraordinary fossil remain, to attract the notic? of philosophers and speculators. It is like exca- vating the mountains for saltpetre and sulphur, to furnish materials for a general explosion of a con- tinent. And why all this importance to Mr. Van Buren? Asa man, he 1s utterly destitute of public princi- plo of any kind. Fara long nenod of his life he occupied a bold and manly Southern ground on the slavery question, and he never saw or acknow- til he was defeated by Southern influence, and re- stored to his private residence on the banks of the Hudson river, as one whose public life was for- ever finished and sealed up. But he has changed that position; and from a knowledge of the circum- stances, and of his past history, together with the course which he is now pursuing, the conclusion is irresistible that he has meditated it ever since his defeat in 1844, and on the nomination being again tendered to him im 1848. All the letters which have come from him, and all the develope- ments which have been made, within the last two years, show that he held himself im reserve the nomination in Baltimore; and it being with- held from him, and given to_anoj ‘po- uren, with his personal friends, has thrown himself into this new movement—this terrible current, this dangerous rapid—combining, as itdoes, all the mo- ral and immoral sentiment, floating through the Northerw States, in hostility to the slavery institu- tions of the South. He and his party have, indeed, planted themselves on the principle contained in the Wilmot proviso, as.a fulcrum on which to use their lever; but that is all nonsense—a mere baga- telle—albeit there is so much stress laid upon it in their journals, their speeches, their letters, and in the proceedings of the convention at Utica, It amounts to one thing only, and that is, to form a great Northern party, for the first time in the histo- ry of the country, in opposition to the Southern States, on the institution of slavery. This movement acquires greater force, and more interest, and additional danger, from the fact that the Southern members of Congress, of both of the old parties, assume a position directly opposite to that assumed by the barnburners. They take their ground broadly on the platform of slavery, and on its extension to the new territory acquired from Mexico by the treaty which has recently been rati- fied. Mr. Calhoun boldly, decidedly and deter- minedly marks out this policy, and is followed in the same strain by Mr. Berrien, of Georgia, who seldom chimes in with Mr. Calhoun. He likewise takes bold, plain Southern ground, openly and above-board. Yet Mr. Berrien is a whig, and a supporter of General Taylor’s nomination. In ad- dition to this, we find that the discontented journals in this region of the country, which have hereto- fore been in favor of General Cass, have repudia- ted him, and are assuming the position taken by this Northern party, which 18 being organized on anti-slavery ground. The Tribune, heretofore a leading whig journal, jumps into the new move- ment with ecstacy, rejoices that the question of slavery has at length come up, and that New York has uttered her sentiments through Mr. Dix. It is probable, therefore, that the discontented whigs of New York, with the odds and ends of all parties which entertain feelings of hostility to the South, will unite in the Northern movement, and organize a vast and terrible party on anti-slavery principles, a ground of opposition that may lead to unuttera- ble danger to the country at large. The convention of the discontented whigs at Wor- cester, has evolved a new feeling on the subject, and the applause and ¢houts in favor of Mr. Van Buren, and of the position which he has taken, may be looked upon as a foregone conclusion, that | there will be a vast accession of force to this movement from Massachussetts and other East- | ern and Northern States. | The course of this new movement is onward. A general convention of the Northern States, enter- taining common feelings of hostility to the South, isto assemble at Buffalo, on the ninth of August, and it is probable that the nominations made at They are not, by a day or two, as late as have been uved. Utica will be confirmed by it, and the flag of anti- slavery be added to that of the Wilmot proviso. > ; calenlated not ral Casa, take a ! and te, hopes, but Bt ce with those conservatives inds who have been forming themselves into a party for the sup- port of General Taylor. In fegard to the subject of slavery in Oregon, that will, no doubt, be settled during the present session of Congress, by the adoption of the Missouri compromise line, but that will have no influence on New Mexico and California, the territory of which is as well adapted for slavery as the soil of Virginia or Louisiana. This move- ment will still goon. The question of abolishing slavery in the District of Columbia will be adopt- ed. Every offort will be made to defeat the exta- blishment of slavery in the new territories, and if unsuccessful, the new party will organize anew, make further attempts, and if possible procure the repeal of any laws that may be made for that pur- pose. Thus the movement may go on from time to time, and if successful, will finally end in hedging the slave States in with legislation in despite of the compromises of the constitution, and per- haps the dissolution of the confederacy as it 1s at present organized. Grverat Pr.tow anp us Derence.—We have received a pamphlet, containing a defence of Gen- eral Pillow, against the charges made against him by General Scott, and tried at the recent court- martial. This defence puts altogether a different complexion on the Pillow case, as it 1s called throughout the country. Indeed the recent court” martial has disclosed facts and evidence enough to satisfy any reasonable man that the general officers of the American army in Mexico, have been more indebted to the prudence, skill and ‘bravery of the rank and file, for their success, than to their own skill or bravery in the field. General Scott is no doubt a brave man, but the evidence given at the court-martial, and a perusal of the evidence and defence of General Pillow, show beyond the pos- sibility of a doubt, that General Scott wascommit- ting the same breaches, and the same violation of the rules of war, which he charged against Gene- rats Pillow and Worth. There ought to be a distinc- tion made between the conduct of many of the gene- ral officers in the Mexican war. Generals Taylor, Wool, Quitman, Shields and Smith, do not belong to the same category of noisy, quarrelsome milita- ty leaders, with which some of the others are to be ranged. We want to see the whole of the evi- dence in the recent court-martial collected togeth- er, including the journals of the subalterns, and many of the intelligent rank and file, before we can ascertain who have been the real and undoubt- ed heroes of the brilliant conquest of Mexico. General Pillow, no doubt, proves that he has been «8 much sinned against as sinning, in some of his efforts to blow his own trumpet in a moderate way. No man can, however, rise from a perusal of this defence, without believing that General Pillow has much more merit and magnanimity than he has received credit for.

All this pre- tence is sham and humbug. On no occasion has any later intelligence been published in any journal than what has appeared in our columns. Even Wilmer & Smith’s Liverpool Times, which makes no extraordinary pretensions to the use of thunder and lightning, gets as late intelligence, and some- times later and more accurate news, than the jour- nal in question. Americans Asroap.—We learn that Silas E. Burrows, Esq., of this city, sailed yesterday in his yacht, the Patapsco, for St. Petersburgh, Russia. He is bearer of despatches from the State depart- ment to our minister at the court of the Czar. It is the intention of Mr. B., we understand, to visit the principal ports on the Baltic, before his return to the United States. This will be the first trip of an American gentleman across the Atlantic in a pleasure yacht.

Amid cries of ‘‘ What about Webster?”’ the speaker remark- od that he would undertake to say that Daniel Webster would not—and was not committed to support General Taylor. (Cheering and cries of adjourn.) Mr. Maxwext here referred to Mr. Hamlin’s letter, of Ohio, amid much cheering. Mr. Jeage Hutchinson here came forward on the stand, and sung with much comic humor, an extempore parody on the popular and well known song, “ We're a band of freemen,” amid the utmost cheering and applause, when the Conven- tion adjourned in apparent high spirits. The people of this part of the country seem aroused, almost toa man, in favor of the ubolition of slavery, and the Wilmot provieo ; and it isanticipated that thero will be a large national convention on the 9th of Au- gust next, at Buffalo. About 6000 delegates were in attendance from all parts of the commonwealth, and their resolution to pledge the delegation to support no slave-holding candidate, will make the approaching Prosidential election one of absorbing interest. Ohio and the sarnburning party of Now York,have all, it would avpear. formed a lougue on this question, which will eventually lead to the old quarrel between the North and the South, on the subject of slavery.
