The New Slaveholding Project

We invite the attention of the readers to the Circular on our fir?t page signed by Huger, Wade Hamuton, the great Slaveholder, ar.d others of the fmt men of South Carolina. Tle great Apostle of Slavery, John C. Calhoun, who is doutttless at the hottom of the enturprize, does not give bis name to ii publicly. The Charleston Evening News argtios (hal sucli a paper as is there proposed is neces sary to concert of action in the South. - It proposes that it shnll have no connection with Whiggery or Democracy, but is to be wholly devoled to the interets of Southern Insthutions. Tlie bare proposal for ihe establishment of such a paper spenks umnistakeably of anii-slavery progress. Hovv ofien have Southern members of Congress declared that slnvery was with them a subject beyond and above all debate, anc wliich they never could descend low enough to discuss with the Northern fnutics ! Yet now they are raising a tubscription to set in operntion a r;aper loi this very purpose. So much for the result of Southern bravado, and bluster anc insolence. They throw out furious threats of a dissolution of the Union, anc all that, and then, as a last rc?ort, insteac of e.xecuting them, they propose to rata a newspaper shield against Aboiitionism. Our impreísion is that the whole affail wil! flat out. No distinguished and talenled man, of high standing, will be willing to appear as the editor of such a paper, although such men may. w rite for t anonymously. But so far as it may be prosecuted, it will do great good to the anti-slavery cause. Dr. Franklin tells us that he became an infidel by reading a work in defence of Chrislianily, in whieh the objeclions ot the infidel were present ed for refutation, but which he deempc more weighty than the argumems bv which it was nttempted to overthrou them. So it will be in defending alaverj ngainst the assaults of aboiitionism. THe principies, aiguments, mensures and proceedings of Abolitionists must be exposec as a pre-reqüísite to their refutatic.i; nrx condernnation, and thereby both sides o the questioi), to a grealflr or loss degree, will be brought to the consideraron o] the readers. The eslablishment of an able Liberty paper at Washington was indeed an era in the anti-slavery cause : the commencement of a slavery paper, on a basis equolly exclusive, and originated, supportei, and conducted in a similar rnanner, wül be another step in our progress, showing most conclusively the prsssuro of the anti-slavery movement upon the sliveholders. Aggressive anti slavery nieasures are those wliich nre now needed. The throw the slaveholders on t!ie defensive. We mustsend among them "a lili Ie more grpe" than ever. fU3 The last Emancipator lias a leader of three columns upon the üfe and anti-slavnry services of John P. U;ile, by which it appears that ho is the firstchoice of the present editora of that paper for the Presidency. Mr. Leavilt avowed a preference for Gen. Fessnnden. There is a great probability that Mr. Hals will receivethe nomination of the Buffalo Convention. But we have our doubis whèther he will accept a nomination exclusively as a Liberty party man. Alihough lie has labored for and with Liberly men, he has never formally identifie.d himself with their party organization. (ir The death of Silas Wright has produced a general sensation of regret, not only in his own party, bi)1 through all parlies in the Norlh. IIo was a botter specimen of n politician tlian we often find nmong the old party leaders. He was the soul and centre of the Wilmot Proviso movement among the Democrat?; and t is feared its Democratie supporters will hereafter be tnoi-e faint and wavering in its support, and thus expose it tocertain defeat.
