An nflectlng Incident.
| At the annual meeting for the benefit of the Otphnu
Asylum and Free School of Alexandria ; the lion.
U. W. Thompson of Indiana mid A. II. Stephens of
Georgia had viigaged to addreia the meeting. Cir
cumstances preventing the funner from utteiidiug, the
I field was led open chiefly for tho latter. The corren-
, poudent of the Journal of Commerce, gives the following
i report of Mr. Stephens’ speech. There are few whoso
hearts will not be stirred by the iiemsal of the brief but
touching narrative.
In tho iimuurr ol tho ppcochof Mr. Stephen*
thcro ia an air of great sincerity, lie advocated
the cause of tho Orphan* with (Icon folding mid ear
nestness ; lie drew pictures of domestic com fort,
liApninoM* and abundance, with u skilful and glow
ing hand, rendering the improMnou more strong to
to tho mind's eye by tho oontrast of the wumlering.
Iiomoleas child, thrown out on the cold rlmrities ol
tlio world. lie now procoedtNl to individualize,
stating some deeply Interesting facts that came
within his own knowledge, of a fsior laiv, who in
n cold Jaminry night, with no home rind to shelter
j his head, no paternal or maternal guurdian or
guide to protect and direct him, in his wanderings
reached at night fall the house of a weatlliy plan
ter, who kinuly took him in, fed, lodged, and sent
him on his way with his blessing. Those little
kind attentions elieerod his heart, and inspired
him with fresh courage to battle with the ills and
obstacles of life. Years rolled round ; Providence
l«*d him along ; he had rouched the legal profession ;
his hospitable host had died ; the connorapta that
prey on the suh.-tanco of nmn had formed a con
spiracy to get sway from the widow her estates.
She sent for the nearest consel to commit her
cause to him, and that counsel proved to he the
orphan boy years before welcomed and entertain
ed by her and her deccused husband. Tho stim
ulus of a warm and tenacious gratitude was now
added to that of theordinary motives connected with
the profession. He umiertook her cuuse with a
will not easily to bo resisted, he gained it; the
widow's estates were secured to her; ami Mr.
Stephens added, with an emphasis of emotion that
sent his electric thrill throughout the house, *• that
orphan hoy Hands bejore you!" ’Flint kind of elo
quence which in a natural uml striking way takes
hold of the present, the visible, the tangible, lulls
with the greatest power on the human mind. A
burst of applause followed this announcement,
which probably cook most of the audience hv sur
prise, though (hero were some who could not help
anticipating the very conclusion to which he came.
And this man is now sedulously endeavoring
U> avert threatened disunion, to preserve the gold
en hand of this confederacy from the assaults of
those who would dissolve it, scattering its gloomy
fimgments through the length and breadth of the
the land.”
Rlatbet in Kentucky.—In the popular branch of
the Kentucky Legislature on the 20th, Mr. Ewing
offered the following joint raaolu Ui ua, preceded by «
preamble, which lay over oue day:
De it enacted &c., That, in the opinion of ihin Lrgiii-
latvre, the present agitation of the vuhjert of euianri-
potion is premature and must result m evil, ami only
evil.
Rtaolved, Thnt the only hope of relief to Kentucky
from the vast and acknowledged evils of slavery in in n
long, gradual course of preparatory legislation in com
bination and in utumiu with private uml voluntary ef
fort, and in the ultimate colonization of the blacks be
yond the limit* of the United States.
''RutAwd, That in view of the ftrent rume of a free
f colored population to any community in which they un
incorporated, tlie early creation of n moderate sinking
fund, with the imrpoee of assisting in getting rid of ami
colonising tlie Macks now free, or such as hereafter lie-
come free in Kentucky, would be u wise, prudent, and
v v^Uudable expenditure of money by the people of ting
Rmolnmt, That this great cause, in the magnitude of
ita interest, and in tlie difficulty of its accomplishment,
^.sa worthy of the exertion of the national energies,
Rmolved, That our 8enators Ir* instructed, and our
Representatives lie requested to urge upon Congress the
propriety of the creation of a national sinking turn! out
of the proceeds of the public lands, to uni the effort*
and promote the ends of colonization, ami of contribu
ting to the eods in any other proper manner; and if
tliere be no efficient constitutional warrant tor the-e
purposes, to pro{ioae, sustain, and p&** tho necemiiry
amendment to the constitution.
Mr. Huston off red a resolution asserting tliat it was
'v.^the wish of the |«*op!a that tlie convention should sub
mit the result of their labors to tlie people for ratifica
tion or rejection.
Mr. Huston mid he thought the resolution declarato
ry, and he wished u to paw* that the convention might
be apprised of the wish of the people os represented in
this Legislature.
The resolution was adoiaed—yeas 75, nays 4-

dimmish hi any way what wa* agreed ti|sei by the

'M. The American Governiiienl, by suppressing the
Tenth arlu-lc of the Treaty of Gmulalu|s*, did not in any

the concluding paragraph of article I2lh, oj the treaty,
did not intend to deprive the Mexican Republic o| ila*
free and unrestrained lin oily of ceding, < ouvcyiug and
transferring, at tiny time, |a* it may judge hcst| the sum
of $12,000,000, which the .Mime government of tin- I
Stales is lo deliver in lie* place designated by tin-amend

And these explanations having been accepted by the

And he »l further Resolved, Thut iffnirli pujK*r he in
the Dt*|mrtmeiitof Slate, the Frestdeut he requested to
iiitnrm this House whether said UoiiimiHMioiiers or I’leiii-
|Mi|eiiiiari(*N were euipowen-d to make said evplaiiulious
mid give said guarantees, mid by what authority they
were empowered,and whether suit! protocol has been
r-n I miii I ted to the ronsideration of the Semite of tie' Uui-
led Slates, and ls*eti sntirlioued by a eoiisliltlllouill ma
jority of that body.
And la* it liuther Resolved, That the President in
form this Home whether he was awareo| the evistenee
of said Protocol at the time of Ins proeliuiiatioii of tie*
final exelmngoof mlificalioiia of stud treaty oil the till
•lay of July, IHIH.
If thiM matter is found ill tho condition no directly
replied by the foregoing resolutions, tho treaty will l»o
in a strange condition. The appended protocol must
of necessity accompany ami constitute a portion of the
instrument, and that jwrtion has never hecnmibreittcd
to the Senate for its advice ami ratification. Mexico
must therefore umlorHtaml tho instrument with tin* ex
planation given by tho ministers, whilst the United
States must const me it as it wus sanctioned hy the
Senate. There is something rather hidden ami myste
rious in the transaction iih it stands before us ul pres
ent. Subsequent dcvelopementH, with the answer of
the President, may throw light upon the subject, mid
show the country that all bus been right. Wo give jin
connected with tho strange affair, the views of the
Salional Intelligencer, as to what has been ami
what ought probably to he done in the premises :
We MM that none of our renders w ill overlook the
im|iorliiitf development which will U* found in the min
utes ol Siittirdii) n proceedings in the House of Kcpre-
MMiliitivostouching the Treaty ol Peace with Mevno,
which, it ap|ieurs, has l*eeu proclaimed by our Govern
ment to have lieen ratified ns uiiicmh I h\ (lie Senate of
lla* United State*,though those amendment* were, to
ohinm the ratification ol them by Mexico, nullified by a
Protocol,signed hy our Ministers to that Government,
under instruction*from lla* President, which Protocol
declares, in effect, th*' amendment* required by the Sen-
one perhaps not Rn* choice of tho people generally,
hut of tho few. There in one way that the voice* of
tho pcoplo ran Is* heard, and probably would he, respect
ed, and that is for them Intake the mailer ill hand ami
ascertain by some convenient mode who they prefer,
nnd then make known their wishes to the Presuleutor
Post .Master General; letter do this than to have
some om* in tho office for four years that don’t Niiit.

Gr.vru.Mi.s . I h<«*. in tho lust Journal A Mi-sseu-
(*er. that at last tho grout curse of Georgia, . tho in
troduction of slaves bom other States for tlm purpose
of sale and speculation,; is attracting the attention «.I
tho proper authorities. This subject, and one ton
wliieli so vitally affects our interest, has been too lofig
neglected, from what cause I know not. It certainly
could not bo from waul of power, fur since the act of
l^.’l.’l, the power has been sufficiently delegated hy tire
Legislature, and I cannot agree with the .Messenger,
that that act has been modified since hy ail act passed
ill 1*42. ’Pile acts of l*.‘W and 'b were certainly
repealed, hut in IH4'!tho Legislature repealed the act
of l>* 12, thereby reviving that of IKI.’I nml *i, and ho
tire, law still stands, I believe, without alteration since.
Now with the law mi our side, and interest demand
ing tin* enforcement of that law, why is it not done ’
The grounds taken by Judge Floyd, are not only very
foreihlo, hut they derive tenfold power hy ile-ir very
truth. Ilereuro we, Georgians, Southerners, weak
ening our own power, and with our own money pur- j
chasing hitter enemies. In the present rrisis of our I
affairs, it Ih-Iioovcn iih lo work lor our own advantage ; ;
to speak more plainly, the South has louse all ll>- ;
moans within her power to immilaiii her rights, and
til's can h<* done (as experience and observation has 1
abundantly taught iih,) only hy pi**servmg a h-d ui *• i
of power. Now, lo preserve this halaiiee, the South j
must imt only nourish slavery where it is, hut ex
tend it if sin* call. Georgia, Alabama, .Mississippi, ^
Louisiana, are slave Slates, mid will remain so. Ma
ryland, Virginia, North Carolina and Kentucky are ;
slave States now, but if the present m is allowed, |
how long will they continue so hy sending off' \eaily j
hundreds ol their slaves ’ ’Flu-institution is oIYoiiim- j
weakened It) degrees, until at last they will totally |
abolish il, and then begin the abolition nysteni of a^
grossioii towards the South. Tins ought to le- pi
vented ; it is tire policy, the general policy ol tin* nres
Southern States to ptevenl it, and woe to tie in if tire
neglect it. What is tho policy who-li the North ha
Constantly pursued ' liusi' not been to coniine tie- in
sti.iition of slavery in ns narrow limits ns possilil- 1 I
not all this great excitement and agitation in ('ougres
caused hy this identical Nuitlrern policy ; and is ire
the Smith, to a man, ready hy all means li. oppose it
do they tint write and speak against it ' yt they miw
do more. Tlrey must act, and lire policy which die
tilled llm act of IKl.'l is the very one ii|miii which w
should act. Do not let the negroes be brought into tli
Stale, vve have enough without them, let them sla
where they are, for there tlrey are needed to strength'-
the institution, to k> op (hose States m our ranks, ail
preserve the just equilibrium without which there is u
safely to the South ; or if tlo-y do emigrate let them
go where tin* institution is weak and needs le-lp —
where they can do some good. Another just view
which Judge Floyil took of tin* inutf.-i v. -in *• that ev
ery slave thus iutiodiieed tended to depreeiale the valie-
of those that were already here, and belonged to us,
and that it increased the cultivation of cotton and
lowered iIh price.” 'This reason addresses itself I’mcilily
to our individual peenniury interest. We all lo.-,.- b,
it, it takes our money lo buy the negroes mid make us
enemies, it lakes our money hy depreciating lire price
of cotton, and worse than all this, it lakes away tin*
power of preserving our rights as equal participants a
the blessings of our common union. When all iIi.m*
reasons urge iih on lo exert the powers vve have to pre
vent this, let us do it with all our might. Let not on
ly all of our Judges give it in a sp.'ciul charge to tire
Grand Jury, luff let every private citizen leel it (o be
n duty he owes to himself, lo his Slate mid lo Ins
country, to look out for those who offend the laws hy
impelling negroes into the Stale for the purpose of
sale, mid not wait until a Superior Court, hut lodge hi
ill formation agonist them with a Justice ol till* Peace.
’Plus is the plan. And hv pursuing it. as it ought to
In*done, an end will soon lie put to this illegal traffic,
nnd wo will have accomplished as mireli as tin* South
ern committee could do in six months tow ards (In*
strengthening tho South and confirming onr rights-—
Wo will Imvo banished those itinerant negro traders,
who abound m every town and village in tho State,
'* i (those tax gatherers who carry off' thousands of dol-
j bus vearly to Maryland and Virginia )
11 j We will have saved, mid kept m our State,' all
l t ’ j this money. Our own negroes will command a better
price, and the farmer wall get more lor li'seoitou. And
iii.vv to obtain these ends, let the press notice it every
week; show lo the people the inevitable etVectx result
ing from this destructive course. 1111111111*11 they will
wake «p to their true interests and net until then.
