r i’lie Wilmot S'roviso.
In our Congress proceedings we give the
veas and nays in the - House on the passage
of the three million bill,with the Wilmot pro- !
viso. It will no doubt have the desired effect,
which is to kill the bill, and throw every ob
stacle in the way of the Executive in bring
ing to a speedy termination the Mexican
war. The Senate, we feel satisfied, will
never pass the bill with this proviso, and if
they should, we have every confidence in
President Polk that he will veto it. Tiie
correspondent of the Baltimore hsiin, writ ing
on the subject says—“ The Wilmot proviso
has passed the House (as I a week ago inti
mated it would) by a full vote of 115 to 10G
Willi sucli a rider it is hardly necessary to |
add the bill will not become a law. The !
Senate will certainly never agree to it in its |
. . !
present form, and if the Senate did, I doubt i
very much wither the President would do I
ought but return it with bis objections. The |
Wilmot proviso is but another way of kill- \
ing the bill, and nothing else. It ought not
to be considered any thing else north or south
of Mason & Dixon's line; for it is a mere ab
straction—a useless impediment thrown in
the way of judicious and necessary legisla
tion, and a paltry means of embarrassing the
administration.”
[ From Ihe Washington H/i/otl]
THE WILMOT PROVISO—TREACHERY
OF SOUTHERN AND WESTERN FEDE
RALISM.
w e were unable to attend the Capitol to- :
day; but we understand from the letter of a
Iriend, now before us, that the previous spe
culation which he had communicated to us
upon tiie intended movement of the federal
party on Mr. Wilmot’s proviso, lias been con
tinued by their course in the Committee of
the \\ hole, to-day. We do not undertake to
vouch for the accuracy of his statement, but
lie stales that “(he southern wbigs secured
the passage of the Wilmot proviso by their
votes, or abstaining from voting in commit
tee— voting against Droomgoqle’s point of
order, winch was calculated to prevent a di
rect vote by yeas and nays in the House
against tiie extension of tiie Missouri com
j romise line to the acquired territory—and,
finally, by abstaining from voting on Lile
main proviso as an amendment..
“Messrs. Davis, Young, McHenry, Grider,
and Trumbo, till of Kentucky, are said to
have voted in Committee of the Whole for the
Wilmot proviso—while some 15 or 20 south- I
rrn whigs did nol vote at all, remaining in
their seats, if the five here named had vo
ted with the south, the proviso would have j
#een kd.cd by one majority. Every southern j
democrat voted against it.”
►Should this statement be correct, it shows j
a policy ol p-jrty tactics on the part of the i
federalists, which looks much more to the in- ;
terests of mere p'lrly than of the ichole conn- j
try. It shows that they design to throw the j
whole political theatre into convulsion—to
d struct the country upon this agitating sub
ject—to throw the democratic party into dis
sensiun, in order that they may avail them- j
selves of it to rise upon our ruin, at the haz- j
ard of agitating tiie country upon this mo
inentousjsubject. If this be so, say we, let the
design be exposed, and the public indignation
rebuke it authors.
And what must we think of those dem
ocrats, who would stir at all this agitating
question, in the midst of a foreign war? Ur,
what shall we think of men who would over
look Lite great principle of community of in
terests and of compromise of rights, upon
which the constitution itself was founded,
and the Missouri compromise was based.
Let the north be deeply impressed with the
danger which it is provoking, and the utter
impossibility of prevailing on the south to
acquiesce in the inquahly which the north
proposes.
AI order.
It appears from the letter which follows, receiv- t
ed lasi evening, that .Mr. Benjamin B. Hussey, a
gentleman long and favorably known in this city,
has l*een barbarously murdered at Dublin,in Lau
t ens county, Ga. The letter does not afford any
cine to the motive which could have prompted
this diabolical act. Mr. 11. left this city only a
few weeks since on a collection tour through the
States of Georgia'and South Carolina, ilis pa
rents. we understand, reside in Unity, .Maine.— ;

Dublin, (Laurens county, Ga.) Feb. 13. |
To the Editors of the Charleston Courier:
On the 11 tli instant, about noon, Mr. Benj. B. j
Hussey drove up into this p ace, having in corapa- ;
tiv with him a young man calling himself John W. i
Gibbs, who was taken np by him (Mr. if.) as an act
of kindness, he (Gibbs) being on foot and travel
ling to Augusta, in this State. At night, they
were carried to the sameioom to lodge. On the j
next morning, fl2th,) about daylight, the family
■were aroused by a noise issuing from the chamber !
in which the two travellers lodged. They imine- I
diately proceeded to the room, where .Mr. Hussey
was found dead, having eighteen large wounds in
flicted on his body with a dirk knife which Gibbs
had previously purchased. Dr. Cohen.boarding
in the same house, was immediately called, also
Dr. Gaston, but he (II.) was dead. Gibbs was im
mediately arrested and committed to jail, await- j
mg his trial on the first Monday in next month.— i
i The Coroner held an inquest over the body of Hus
sey. The jury returned a verdict of w ilful and
voluntary murder, with malice aforethought, a
gainst Gibbs.
.Mr. If. was decently interred, a respectable
number of citizens attended his burial. An in
ventory of his effects has since been taken by four
i gentlemen of the place, under oath, appointed for
that purpose, who have turned them over to. Mr.
J. 11. Zopp, a highly respe« tuble citizen of this
place, ami we have no hesitancy in vouching for
their safe delivery to anyone legally authorised
i to take possession of them. Mr. 11. appears to have
j been a general travelling agent to newspapers, pe
t rtodicals, Ac.
T. S. —.Since writing the above, the handle and
part of the blade with which the deed was commit
ted, have been found, with blood thereon, the han
dle of which measures seven inches.
CJ The steam packet Win. Gaston was sold
at auction yesterday by Messrs. Cohen &
Fostlick, fur §13,000. She was purchased
by Francis Sorrel, E>q., and will continue

MACON, Feb. 11. Cotton. —lntelligence by

i ing a dull market in England, Since the receipt
j of these accounts no sales have come to our
j knowledge, by which to establish with any de
greeof accuracy, the quotations in this market.
W e therefore omit any figures until priors become
settled.

viz;
From wagons, 1,091 bales.

Tot. I, 1,883
I CH ER AW, Feb. 16.— Cotton. —This article has
experienced a decline during th u past week of i to
leperlh. We quote extremes at 9? to 11c; most
transactions at 10 to lie. The supply something
less than the previous w eek; from GuUtoSOO bales.
j NEW ORLEANS. Feb. 13.— Cotton. —Arrived
since the 9ili inst.. 13,771 bales. Cleared in the
• sam** time 9133 bales—making an addition to stock
of 4641 hales, and leaving on hand, inclusive of
all on shipboard not cleared on the 12th instant,a
stuck of 219,237 hales.
Onr last report left the cotton market in an ex
ceedingly unsettled, drooping and unsatisfactory
state, the unusually heavy stock on sale, and a
sudden advance in freights, having caused a mate
rial and rapid decline in prices. These causes of |
depression have since operated with increased
force, assisted in the same direction by a further j
decline in the rates of Exchange, and the conse- I
quence has been that the market again gave way
on Wednesday and Thursday fully ic from the
rates of Tuesday, middling to good middling cot- i
tons having been sMI at 10 a join, and even less, i
it is asserted, in some instances, the market being (
so unsettled that great irregularity prevailed in tiie
transactions that took place. The sales of these j
two days amounted to about 8.300 bales. Vester- !
day a more active enquiry prevailed, and fully i
10,000 bales were disposed of, the market acquir- j
i ing more steadiness and firmness as the day advan
ced, and closing at rates which exhibit a slight re
covery from the extreme depression of the two pre
vious days. The further decline above mention
ed has been confined to grades below middling
fair, in which nearly all the business has been
done; the better descriptions, ow ing to the compar
atively light, supply of them, having about main
tained the position in which they were left at the
' date of our last report, though with few or no
i transactions. The total sales of tlie week sum up
i 33,7u0 bales, of which 15.509 bales have been dis
i posed of within the past three days, taken mostly
| lor England and the Continent.
