On Tuesday evening April 29th. about four thousand of the good people of New York assembled at the Tabermiole to ex press their sentiments on Free Kanaas, Resolutions were passed and a number of speeches made, The following are ex tracted from the remarks of Mr. V. Ev ens, which are so good that we make room for them. Now we suppoao that tide subject of. the extension of Slavery to Territories, which, if t'oey have any government, are . govttrncd by the federal po'ver, is a lgU ' timate subject of federtl politics and we' intend to act accordingly. We suppose that it is a nvne in p iriant subject of' federal poli'ics than any Other, and we intend to net accordingly. We have culled you together, and you have respond ed to the call in oivj uf those echoes widen are heard from one qu.irlcr of the land lo tho olhei. This is a practical question It is a question of inakimr this sentiment felt in the way that politicians understand, by votes, by imluence, by condemnation of tho bad, and b the support of the good,chors. 'A e do not intend lobe misled into any inquiry or sympathy; however aggravatim' tha wronjrofthe siuve may b-. We d.i not intend to be tlrawn iniOHry difcussion of mere ethics, or of mere phiiMithro y for the "inferior' race," 04 they are called by our southern brothotn. We do not intend to unsettle any social relation, but we intern! to exer cio the clear right of freedom in deter determining - mining determining that Mw ftt'd largo regions shall bo devoted to iVa labor upon the oat hand, and to tho exclusion of Slavery on tho othor. loud cheer. Iu determin determining - ing determining this principh, we have no occasion to quarrel with any of the dogmas that are assumed or argue J by iIiom who havean interest in Slavery. It is- said by them that Slavery in this country had been productive of unmixed g.wd to the negro. tio be it. if they car. prove it. But 11 It cur opinion il bus been productive of tin mixed evil to the white roan. Thev isy that Slavery is the only relv.ion winch ia possible in a society which is composed of blacks and wh'tos and of mixed races. So be it, it they can prove it. But that only add to the rectitude of our opinion tbut no new twri'c-ry should be occupied by iniilud races, f Cheers. Now there ie another argument by w hich Slav. ho.dui;r interest tp-ats the cljorts of the fiei'iimu ! the North to get possession of some part cf these territories. It is said lhallhey have l;i en won by our common blood snd treasuia. Well now, lfibia were an argument lo how that the black race ought to bo allowed logo into a new Territory if it was prnleu b d that they had been won by the common blood and treasure of th'J el.'icki of the ljuuih and Iho whueuion of the North, I could un dcrstan.i the forcj of the argument. Applause. .It bus bci wen by the com common - mon common blood " I trj -tsui'd of tha white men cf iho L'uited States, and if Uod assist ihei'lforla that we coinmence to niht, il ehull be occupied by the white :n iiof the whole country. ChM. Well it ia eid that it is tiie prt of brethern to oc occupy - cupy occupy their common liaritaje in peace and quiet, and thai the white man of the Southend the white man of the North should go together and possess the land, but there it one difficulty abutit this Luuj. nena. It dous not depond upon the law of Congreat or the law of any folate but il i wrillou in thehearit of the free Uborr.r, of our country that they will not work sidd by side with slave.
