Miss ,Webster ha returned to Vermont.- Previous to her departure, the Frankfort Comraogwealth ays she had an interview with Gor. öwsley, of Kentucky, to whom she statd, that lthough opposed to slavery in the bfltract, lie was not and oever had been mi bo!itionit, bul was in favor of Coloniza iio:i : that he was hostile to all agitatiön of ulavery out of the slave sta tes: thal she designs to copnnce the intrrmeddlers of the North o' thfojlyand injustice of their domgs: that abe hts a high respect for the peoplc of Ken ■ tucky, and she intenda to convince t hem that hé ia not oniy innocent of slave stcnlitir, but iicntitled to their confídence and respect, and he raanifesied "a most intense solicilude1 to recover the good opinión of eo generouL a peoplc. It appears that Fairbank was secretary of ihe Oberlin Clay Club during the last campaign, and Miss Webster being a Colonizalionict, their alledjred misdoings cannot be Inid t the door of AbolitiunUts. The people nf Kentucky have been puniihing, not their fanatical eueuiies, but their friends! {L The Pennsylvania Freenian, in on arlic'c on Annexation says of Sönator Merrick, of Maryland: "Whcn he rose lnst weck to speak on the subject, Oliver Oldechool" savs he commenced by protesting "most Eolemnly tlmt he had Bought Divine aid on tliis great qneslion; thftt he had gone devoutly to the throne of giace and prnyed for light, and he hoped that those with whom he had lieretofore acted and frm whom he must now difter would 'gently scan their brother man.'' The few words told the whole story. Every body in the Senate Cliamber kew what was to follow. And yet this sanie fellow who bad so piously "sought the Divine aid," declarad in the course of his ren)arks,tiiat he was in favor of annexing Texas becav$e it would êtrenglhcn the South against the JYorlh, the ilave, States againet the f ree States. The answer Mr. M. received from the "throne of Grace" was ditubtless that he ought to exercie a careful vigilance over the divine institution of Slavery! Was there ever such b)asphemous mockery?"' - Ptnn. Freeman.05a" Dr. Hudson, Abby Keiïey, and olher Old Orgonizition lecturers on Aboliiion have recenily visited Delaware. Strong symptoms of mobs we re exhibited on ne or two occaiioiis, owing, it is said, to the violent attacks of the speakers upon the pro-sluvery minieters nd churches. Thé Delaware Journu] has an extended notice of the lecturee, portially justifying the mobs on these occasions,but decluring Ihal the people of Delaware are willing to Jiear and diicuss the subject of bluvery w ith propricty and decency. it? lramedmtely after the late election thete were maiy 6peculations in v e Whig papers relative to the cause of their defeat. - In thefollowiug paragraph. C M. Clay anrib utes it to the ground taken by Henry Clay, and endorsed by the Whigs at the North, that elavery- a temporary institmion - should makc no diHercnce in reference to adtnitting Texas - a permanent acquisition. Is not Casciüa right? It is far frjm my feelings and purposes, now) to reproach Mr. Clny - to whom I om nnder many obligalions, which can never be cancelled, both us a man and a statesmtin - yet I believe the great Whig party north of the line is prepared now to atimit . ihat ín losing the moroi power of oppositiun to Texas, as a slíivery qucsUoii, we lost all! {L An anonyoious writer in the Utico Liberty Pres, ho claims to have dad a long and int ij te ncquninlance ivith Gov. Seward, ays he has recemJy vifited that gentleman, nd that Gov. S. is abotit coming out pubiickly andjoinin the Liberty party. This statement is unêupportcd by any proof, and is contrary to the late avowols of Gov. Seward that he should edhero to the Whig party. - That he may cone out wilh an address to his f ello w Whigs urging them, as he has before done, to mnke (lhe brood ground of Human Liberty," the bais of their party organizutinn mny not be improbable. But we expect nolhing from hini bevond this. CC" The Democratie Review bn the fol?oving notice of the "Twenty first Rule" of the House of Representatives. lts permanent brogation is a presage of larg-e and speedy ndvancement to the Liberty cause, and of defeat and disaster to the Slaveholders. "The imhoppy ruto in question has now been tescinded. And the manoer in which it was done and nequieseed in, both in Congiess and ihrougbout thecottntryj prove undenmbly, the niverfral convictjon of the Rule, nnd tbe irresistable necess-fty of its abrogation. That it v cin ever be re enncted, there is pmbably no ingle manr wotnan, or chilo, in the Union, wh o will even pretend to beüeve, whether it be with tbe belief of hope or fear." lUThe slaves on board the brig Creóle, who rose opon their maslers and took the vessel into the Britiah West Indies, were i neured. The Sapreme Court of Louisiann hns tlecitled that tbe owners could not recover the premium pnid beca-use the insurrection was the cause of tbe b-reafcing up of the voyage, and the policy of irwtrnince exempted the insurers from the risk of insurmetion. The uttempt of Mr. Tyler to run nway with the g'ory of Annexntion was quite lüdicrous. It ík stnted that the bill wassignedduringthe last few hours of his administnit ion, nnd he inatantly mounted one of his relations as an expresa to cotninunicate to the Tex.in Government hts election of the alternativos contained in the bilí. Mr. Polk, not liking so much haste, ia Bttid to have sent another messenger ia pursuit of him, in hopes of overhaulinfi and stopping him at New Orleans. Tlie friends of tho abolition of Capital Puiiiehnïeut in Massachusetts have organizeda State Society ibr that object. C" The Demócrata of various places in New York manifested their joy at the annextion by firing twenty-seven guns in celebration of th,ek "viclory"!'
