THE HOY, JOHN 4. DEC AND HIS POSITION. Garvin of Georgia. Second Letier te Pf Nuw Youre, Sept. 21, 1553. Ds. J. P. Ganviw:— Dear Sir—In my letter of the 31s} alt, I intimated that I might in a few days write you more fally on . the subject to which it related. My objects were, first, to show, by what I bave said on former occa fions, that 1 was not in that letter expressiag any pew views ou the points referred to; and, second, to sustain, by references to the past, the representations Of political friends in your State. I should have written you at an earlier day put for my iuability to procure some of the materials required. X— ABOLITIONISM. ‘The first great movement of the abolitionists in this State was made in 1835. To coanteractthem Albany, without distinction of party. Hon. Wm. L. Maroy, then Governor of the State, presided, and I, Secretary of State, addressed the meeting, and Sonred the resolutions, all of ‘which, with a cingle exception, were drawn by myself. Among them were the followiag:— ‘That, under the censtiiution of the United that attemopt by the people or government of other State, or by the t, to interfere with or disturb it, would violate the apicit of the com- Promise which live at the basis of the faderal compact. Resolved, Thet the union of the States, which, uader Providence, bas conferred the richest blessings on the geople, was the reeut of compromise and conciliation; § we oan only hope to maintain it by abstaining from all interference with the laws, domestic policy, and pecaliar interests of every other State; and that ai! each interference, woich tends to alienate one per ion of our ccumtryres from the rest. deserves to be frowaei upon with indignation by all who cherish the principles ‘our revolutionary fathers and who desire to preserve the comstitution by the exercise of that spirit of amity Wicpaen, tens ns oreeornsst on shacessl nN 6 deprecate as sincerely as any ‘doa of our eit zams, the conduct of iadivvite! who are attempting t» cosrce our b ethren in ether Stites tate the aboliuioa of wavtes By, appeals to the fears of master und the passions of the slave; that we cionot them 2s dis‘urbers of the public p2acs, ‘by all constitutional and lawful means, ear influence to arrest the progress ef measur: the bende of union aad to craste guze il i th crimizal desiga to part of thove who have unived themsolves to socist.e, we feel it our cote Drethren of the same great poll don the sssccwstioe into which they have entered, to prove the purity of thelr motives by discoatiauing a Course of coucuct whieh they cannot now but soe must lead to disorders and crimes of the darkest dys.

My sentiments are unchanged; and I have no hesitation in saymg that noth'ng inconsis. tent with them will be found in anything [ have said ince that tune. | Il.—FREBSOILI8M. In August, 1846, when President Polk askei o Congress two miilions of dollars, (afterward: in creased to three miliions,) with a view to terminite | the war with Mexico, a proviso was proposed by Mir. | Wilmet, of Penn., and adop‘ed by the House of Re- ives. prohibiting tie introduction of slavery any territory which might be acquired. it vas sent to the Genate on the last day of the session but was not acted on. In 1547 it was renewed; and, in the meantime, a large number of the nou siive- hoiding States hai passed resolutions instractiv their senators and requesting their representatives in ress to sustain it. New Hampshire, Ver- mont, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, im the order in which they are named, preceded New York in their action on tis savject. The ground taken in Congress and in most of the States was, that as sla- very had been abviisied in Mexico it ought not to be revived or aliowed to be introduced into any ter- ritory ehe might cede to us a5 long as the ‘latter Continued in the territorial condition. The right of @ State, ou coming into the Union, to establish or legaliae slavery as a local institution, was generall: conceded. Ihave always considered it above all control or interference by the federal government; and on the Ist of March, 1947, in my first speech in the Senate on this subject, I made the following pro- positions, with a view to the settlement of the whole question :— 1. Ali external interferoncs with slavery in the States isa violation of (bo compromises of the conatitution, oad dangerous to the harmony aud perpetuity of the fedezal Uaioa. 2 If territory is acquired by the United States, it should, in respest to rlavery, bs leftas it is fouad.” If slavery exizie thersio at the time of the acquisition it siould not be the runject of legislation by Congress, Oa H i ° the other head. if ravery dees not exist therein at the ro. time of the ecq uirirtom, ite introduction ought to ba bivited while tue territery comtinnes to ba goverze? 8. All legislation by Congress in respect to clayery ia | the territory belonging to tne Unived states ceases lo be ative when thy impabitan’s are pormit'el to form a State gavernment; end the admission of » Ztate into ti Union comes with it—by virtue of the sovereigaty en & aémsincion confars— : question of «invery without externa: interfore These propositions I considered in su ost. accordance with the resolutions of the Legislature of the State I represented, and they were in confor- mity to my own opinicns. It did not, of course, escape my notice, at the time I made there propositions, which were reiterated ia 1848 in the words in which they are above givea (and I think [ s0 stated to some of my ass: the Senate,) that their adoption ag a final adj at of the dispnte wou!d bring Cuba into the Union, when the proper time should arrive, as w territory first and a Btate afterwards, without any question as to the existence of slavery in that is! position of fourteen of the thirty States in 1848: that if any territory was av- quired from Mexico, (slavery having been abolished,) it should continue free from slavery.as long as it was governed as a territory, leaving to the people, when they shonld organize a State, to decide forthemselv what their condition in this respect should be. This psition I sustained trom 1847 to 184). My convic ions of ite justice were, I trast, as sincere as the opin ions of thoee with whom I differed. I have never at tempted any explanation of my action on this question otherwire t as my recorded speeches in the Sen ate explain it; and Lom sare that nothing will be found in them’ which can be justly considered offen- sive by those who disagreed with me. To the people of the State of New York, whose instructions, given through the Legislature d aud defended, | have always been ready to account. Some of the State Legislatares in 1845 went far- ther, and passed resolutions against the admiesion of any fature slaveholding State into the Un’ never assented to such a proposition. On the trary, I believed it to be irreconcilable to our ob! tions to others—certainly to Texas—and it was i Consistent with my own views of State sovereignt: The long peading controversy was re‘tled after my ferm of service in the Senate expired—firat, by the admission of California into the Union, witha consti- tation formed by herself probiviting slavery; and, wecond, by the organization of territorial govern- ments for New Mexico and Utah without such a pro- hibition. acta were regarded, and generally Pony mg in, as a settlement of the whole question. ‘This was my view of the subject, and I have so treated it on all occasions. TIL.—PUGITIVE SLAVE. 1 have always ackcowledged the right of the Blavebolding States to demand the sorrender of fagitive slave under that provision of the constita- tion which requires the surrender of persons held to service or labor, the right of Congress to legislate on the subject, and the obligation to pass an effective W. Tn a debate in the Senate of the United States,on the 26th of July, 1848, | mace the following re- marks :— The Nortberm States have been repeats |7 charged in this Gebate, and on macy previous Ox0asio08, with ag- #3. ion, wed violations of the cons titational compact their Kolion on the subject of alavery, Wiia reward to the warrender of fugitive siaves—the © 1 quently olted—it iv povsible that there o oy acme ection or inaction, in euler Yee Gitte pooordance with the good faith thoy ou, .. , exsouveg them. Since the law of 1861 passed I have nuiformly de- clared myself im faver of carrying it int» execution like every other law of the land. My views with re- gard to this, and all other obligations of a kindred character, are clearly expressed in the followiag ex- tract from an address delivered at Boston, in Novem- ber, 1862, repeated om several occasious iu New England and in this State, and published in this city in January last :— ‘And, first, let it be understood that the law must be inflexibly maintained. I use the term law in its larwest sense, not only as including wha‘ bas been eficsliy decreed, but as com, the on the preservation of whioh the invielability of lic sutnerity depends. Tne law is the will of the constitutionally expressed. Whoever arra; if against it, excepting to precure its repeal in the mede preseribed by the fundamental compact, commits an act @f treachery to the peopie t! ves. The law is the desis of all popular supremacy. It is the very feature by which free governmen' is from despotism. To uphold 1: is eneof the highest duties which is de- volved on us as freemen. It is al ¢ays possible that these who are intrusted with ite execution msy err in the per- formance of their duty. all this they may be held to a rigid error smb czopurien cnn inners Oe obrannee © cone ‘all pub: 20) it. Is must be understood, and without reserva! the Jaw isto be inflexibjy maintained. oe In July, 1950, shortly after the promulgation of 850, oun Gov. Seward’s higher Taw doctrine, I referred to it in an address to democracy of Herkimer county, in this State, published im after it was livered, in the following terms:— In the mainterance of which we believe to be vitalto our honor and prosperity let us not forget that we have duties to perform in a tvo-fold relation to our- selves and otherr—to our sister States as members of a common Union, which we are ed to maintain aader all its constitutional forma, to our demooratis breth- Tem in this State, with whom we have been associated ia nomberless contests and trisls. Our first duty is fidelity to the ccustitution. If we fail in the observance of any one of ite requirements, bow can we oall om the people of other States to be faithfal to it? If, as has been said, there is 8 Power above the constitution, His will, eo far a0 it baa beem revealed obedience to the in acoordance with the fue oom submission to the laws, fidelitysto duties arising uuder the constitu: tion. and a spirit of justice te our political associates. I am in favor, then, ed conforming to all its requirements, sud of carrying them out fully and im good faith, mo met- ter what they may be. No one of our obligations under the constitution cam be less imperative 2 another. Disebedience to one is infidelity to all. I believe I have, in the foregoing remarks and ex- tracts from speeches heretofore delivered, covered all the ground of imputation against me, including the procee: of the Baltimore Convention of 1852, whieh contained nothing of importance not asserted in previous conventions except an endorsement of the compromise measures as & settlement of the sla- yery question and a deprecation of all future agita- tion of it here or elsew! In those proceedings I expressed, at the first meeting held in this eity toratify them, my cordial comcurrence, and I was, duriag the greater part of the late canvass for the Presiden- cy, in the field in this and other States. It is with great regret that I have, for the first time in my life, felt constrained to vindicate myselt from the imputation of sentiments I have never ca- tertained or uttered. I had heard, previously to the receipt offyour favor, that I was assailed by whig speakers in the South as an abolitionist, and I was willing to leave my vindication to time and events, as the best correctors of all such misrepresentation and error. But when told by you that they were used as instruments of assault upon the President aud the democracy of Georgia, I felt that no personal consideration should induce me to remain silent. In connection with this subject, I deem it due to myself to say, that before my letter to you of the 31st ultimo was written, I had expressed to the Presigent a desire to be relieved, a3 soon as the public convenience would permit, from the office I now hold—an office which nothing but the hope of being useful to the democratic cause in the State would have induced me to accept—and that I am not, and have never been, by any act of my own, a candidate for any other. iam, dear sir, Very respectfully, yours, Joun A.

Got lsborough, and Oommedore Van crbilt « Steam Yacht North Star at Malta, Early om the mornia; of tho 16th of August @ large American steamer was seen !ying of the harbor and ua Ger the far famed fortress of St. Elmo, which de‘ends the entrance of the principal port of the island, Ina short time abe was not only known, from her beautiful mode and from @ desoription which had reached us threagh the English papers, to be the North Star, with Cowmedere Vanderbilt and party on board, but crowds of poole had collected on the different fortifications, to see her pass to her anchorage. In witnessing this mevement they were not disappointed, for in running up to the head of the Barbor she was handled by Capt. Eldridge in © most masterly manner, It is wholly wnmecessary fer me to write 9 description ef this celebrated yacht, as every- thing connected with her build is so well known im New York; but I need only add that all who visited her here—and they were several hundreds in number—particularly admired the meatness and beauty of her interior arrangements, and that uomistakeable appearance of social comfort existing on board, which is so absolutely necessary for enjoyment ine pleasure trip of this kind. One thing was generally remarked, that, pass in what part of the steamer you would, there was ne smell of the ship, every part of her Ddeing so well ventilated, and kept in such perfect order and cleanliness. The greates' houts since sho lft the United Stabe, was thras hundred aud forty-seven miles, and this was done without the least pressing. But 1 think I am net bytes by hgg< rom easy ete she will log the eames synewlot ase seers St soe meen OF Oe hundred in A brief tell us if 1 am correct, for it is ‘the Commocore’s present intention to be im New York by the fist of Ostober, and when again ia our ,waters her speed will be tried. The North Star bad met been at anchor four hours be- fore Sir Wm. Reid, who is so well known for his theory of storms, aud the precent Governor of these possessions, had expressed a wish to become acquainted with nor public spirited owner, and sent an iavitetion for him and ¢1] his par , to lumeh at the 2. Owing to the Commodore's sojourn at place, he was mot only ecmpelled to decline this invitation, bat also many others. Among them I would mame those to dias at the meses of the Sixty eighth Light Iafsatry, tue Buffs. and Royal Artillery. In return for their many civilities, a general favitetion was given by Ovmmodore Vanderbilt to the Governor, the General in commend of the forces, and the Rear Admiral of thedootyacd, with ail the ether authoritiss, to visit his ship—rhica, I need not add, they most g) ascepted. Avil o’clook on the 18th of August, Sir Wi Reid went on board, with @ very large , and was ssluted, on his reacaing the eck, with twenty ene guns; and this national compli- ment wes given im such time as to elicit the remark from severs! artillery officers that the frimg would have done credit toa ship of-wer. This saiute was immedi ately returned from Fort St. Augelo, and our glorious flag ‘was waviog ever the walls until it was finished. Though the weather was infensely hot, and the thermometer ranging at ninety degrees, yet this great heat did not | ssaifg sl the inmabitaets from testifying their kind feal- ga towards our westere visiters ; and when they left, ac 4 o'clock ix the afiermoon, for Uonstantineple, the harbor was covered wich boats, bands were playing, frequent cheers g' as a friendly farewell to thi who rere leaving the harbor. Harely hed the North Star go: outside of the island, before a foreign corvette was reoa iu the offing, and as the vessels neared each other, the American flags were hoisted, and from this paceiag compliment we were ficat made aware of the approach of one of our national ships. The wind being ahead, it was not until the following she was enabled to reach this port, whem it proved to be the Levant, from the coast of Barbary. On her en- ‘trance, Admiral Houston Stewart, a distinguished officer | in the English servic, most obligisgly sent the master attendant of the dockyard to point eut the best baey at which the corvette could remain without interruptioa, end also his fiw; utensnt, to offer any assistance in his power to Captain Goldsboreugh, while the ship should be in the harbor.
