Mr. Baker said it could not be done by resolu

this glorious Union.
Mr. Colcock—It would commence the act of dis

Oh, Denocihcjr! what frightful ’ crimes have
been committed in thy sacred name! Tho fruits
of the Mexican wa r—fruits which when gathered,
if twrt found more dserpliv
times more destructive than the famed Sodom ap

» Democracy, at tbo first approach of
the storm, lent before the blast, by voting for the
Proviso as applied to Oregon, and eulogixing the
author of li»o war, the Southern President who
affixed bis name to that “ bill of abominations !”—
thus inviting Northern aggression—and at the
same time raising the cry of “wplf! wolf!” at
home, which had been repeated so often, that the
North regarded it as humbug, and now nothing
will convince them that we aro in earnest until the
initiatory steps are taken for the dissolution of
the Union!! To the eo-callcd Democracy (oh,
Heaven ! what a mockery!) are the American peo
ple indebted for tho present stato of affsira!
Whigs, as a party and as individuals, warned Cite
country of the danger with which it was threatened
- misled by the siren song of the leaders of mis
named Democracy, their warnings were unheeded
by the public, ynlil now we fear it is forever
late !
Considerate c.cn of all parties can now gaze
upon the hideous deformity of this “ veiled prop!,
—the veil has been partially removed by recent
developments, and discloses to us the startling fact
that to the love of Pasty and the spoil* of office, the
best interests of the COUNTRY have been i
ficed by those who eternally prated ol love of.
try and love of the people, that they might rui
one and deceive the other !
The day of reckoning has now arrived—let the
People saddle the blame where it belongs—and
^fearful mast be the long, loud and universal curse
they will call down on tho heads ol those who have
basely tampered with tbe best intervals of the conn-
onsummaW the ict, tf)$3;fnjutliet? which
is contemplated w5w executed.; ' * ‘ *\ t ' .
Mr. Hilliard made an eloquent speech in favor of
at least a thousand ; the continuance of the Union; bat maintained that
it could not continue farther if acts of aggression
made upon the South. The Union, he said,
a tiling of consent and not of force. It was
formed by compromise, by bargain, and when the
of the bargain were departed Tram the Union
ends. When the soul of Union was gone the
Union must expire with it. Tbq soul of tbe Union
be found in tho profound love of tbe Union;
apd that love, he maintained, could not exist if
these profanities were carried into effect.
Other gentlemen expressed their views and made
explanations. The House then voted the fortieth
without making a choice, and adjourned about
6 o’clock.
We find the following in our exchanges, credited
to that prince of inn-loving editors, Prextice, of the
Louisville Journal. It is scarcely necessary to ob
serve that wc publish it as a caution to such of
our readers as carry “ woman correspondence”
in their hats, never to look at an editor's manu-
We riXED that CiiAr.—A few days ago, a gen

Washugtox City, Dec. 10,1849.
Deer sir: In answer to yours of this date, 1 will
state that, should 1 be elected Speaker of tbe
of Representatives, I will constitute the
Committees on the District of Columbia, on Terri
tories, and on the Judiciary, in such manner as shall
be aatiatactory to yourself and your friends. _ I
a representative from a free State, and bavu at
way* beetf opposed to tho extension of alaveiy, yd
believe that the federal govermnet should be relev-
cdfrom the responsibility of slarery wh^re they
have the constitutional power to abolish it.
I am yours, truly, W. J. BROWN.
Hon. David Wilhot.
Our readers need scarcely be told that the Wo.
.-.Brown who signed the above pledge to please
thefree toilers in the selection of committees, after
bin dismissal from office at WashingU
through the sympathy old Ritchie excited by his
les in his behalf, elected to Congress, and
when his name was presented for tho office of
Speaker, this same old sinner, who had always pro
fessed to be tbe special guardian of the South, urg
ed Southern. -Democrats lo support him on the
ground that he was perfectly sale! Well, South
ern Democrats did support him, and he came with-
two votes of being elected Speaker!
Of course, we do not believe that those Southern
Democrats who voted for him, knew that he was
sold, body and son), to tbe Free Soilera. It is
due to old Ritchie, too, to say that after thepublica-
of the above correspondence, he denounced
Brown in bis paper.
This case serves to show the Southern people,
first, what confidence can be placed in old Ritchie,
;condly, the quality ol the “ seed'* be has been
g for M the church.”

Mr. Doer begged pardon of tire House for what

Mr. McLane was opposed to settling the difficul

Mr. .Toombs, of Georgia, made a very violent
speech; •»> w»««h he asserted what would be the
action of the South in the contingency of the pas

and to sbolish it is tbe District ol Columbia. The

every one. It wss s difficulty of a national char

men who wished to obtain possession of the
Resolved, That this convention is. full of joy at
the declining state of American religion, as seen in
the absence of revivals, the drooping condition
of all the popular churches, and the utter extinction
of many of them; the small number of candidates
forthe ministry, it the theologicalseminaries ; and
the frequency with which the ministers escape from
the sectarian pulpit into less mischievous and far
more honest and laudable occupations. And

millions of slaves, whose enslavement it has soJoilg

After many eloquent but inflammatory remarks

Some papers speak of " Hit ExctUcnry, the Min|
ter to Austria.” We were considerably astounded
when we read, His Excellency tho Minister to
Anstna! Pray, what high and mighty potentate
ensconced beneath this gorgeous diplomatic
canopy ? Why, it prove* to be only an Ame-
citizcn, Col. J. W. Webb of tbe N. Y. Courier,
who has been transformed by a dash of the pen in-
Hu Excellency ! Great roust have been the
surprise ol his brethren of the craft, when, beneath
the canopy aforesaid, they first discovered a gray,
well-whiskered, shrewd looking old rat of the edito-
riahfraternity, ok*, instead. of c— Bring at. tbo.
parte box, and defending himself from thejealons
grimalkins of the New York press, was now perch
ed upon a diplomatic throne, with & cocked-hat on,
aword by hi* side, and a herald preceding him,
proclaiming to all the world, u Make way for
IIu Excellescv.”
Well, this is the age and the country of transfor
mations ! It is the conntry aiso o! titles, and has
of them than any other country of the world.
Every body in these United States i« either Honor
able, Excellent, Reverend, or he is Captain, Colo-
i!, Esquire, or Gentleman. We once knew an
Ohio justice, who, on one occasion, after disposing
civil business, commenced tho criminal
docket by ordering the constable to “ bring up the
gentleman who is charged with stealing oysters.”
We doubt whether Webb’s nearest of kin would
know him under the sounding title of a His Excel
lency the Minister to Austria.” Only think of
announcing one of onr Richmond editors as His
Highness the Plenipotentiary to St. Petersburgh !
Such a proceeding would astonish the devil himself,
and cause the types to rise in mutiny..
There is just about as much law or reason for
calling Col. Webb, or any other minister, His Ex
cellency as there is for calling him His Most Chris
tian Majesty or the Brother to the Sun and Moon.
Appendages of aristocracy like these may not be
unbecoming in the old world, where they
dated with the hereditary heritages of rank and
family. But, in America, where all are plebiam
where tbe proudest of our mushroom aristocrats
would not be regarded, in any drawing room of Eu-
the equal of the poorest Baron of Christen
dom—where we neither have claims to rank
should desire to have, these grand titles are
only out of place, but ridiculous. To see a fel
low lie down plain republican Hodge at night, and
rise His Excellency in the morning, scarcely know
ing himself in his own looking glass, is a sight
ly to be equalled by that of a hilt naked barbarian
of the African coast wearing, tor the first time, the
cast off rod coat of a British officer, and as proud
as a peacock of that which makes him a laughing
stock tothe rest of the world.
By private letters received here yesterday, we
learn that the intelligence by the last steamer has

Joseph D- llcagun.
Our readers will excuse us for making the person
named above, the subject of a newspaper article,
and we feel sure that they will when they are in
formed that it is from a desire to warn the public
against a man who has shewn every disposition to
swindle, that we do so.
The Reverend Joseph D. Reagan endeavoured to
become very distingue in the literary world last
summer, by issuing a glaring Prospectus for the
publication of a great moral-reform literary journ
al, to be eflected through the medinm of a galvanic
action upon “ the Mothers of the land”—or in truth,
a number of luckless wights, who were sufficiently
verdant to expose that jbemrop wnd-biw intenlions
Burning ot (he CapUol of Alabama.
The Montgomery Gazette of Dec, 15th, givesan
account of tbe Burning of the Capitol in that place,
on the day before. The Journals,records, and
state papers were saved. The only loss „was the
building. The burning was supposed to bo acci
dental.
The Gazette says: 4 \Ve understand that tbe
Presbyterian Church, together with its spurious
lecture room, has been tendered for the use of the
Legislature.” ■ _
were honest,’were lo bo taken in. Me succeeded
getting
ranee for the
dler, and to pht^bd to bavin# *otM idea of pi
ing a paper, be contracted with the then Owners of
this sheet fur the monthly issue of his journal, and
by sjxcial and written contract he was to pay for
each number before be received it,end give satisfac-
ory assurance to them of the payment of the next
lumber before it went to press. This he failed to do,
and having accomplished the cb/ect of his enter
prise, he left this place under the pretence of col
lecting the means for the discharge of bis indebt
edness to them and the continuiug the publication
of his paper.
This has proven to be mere pretence, for after
being absent for several weeks, and writing fre
quently, promising an early dischargeof indebted-
and appointing.certain time^ for. his return,
alter so doing, be has utterly failed and refused to
comply, and after.having, as we,see by the Family
Visitor, made an agreement, in writing with the
owners of that journal for the,, publication of his
sheet, and thereby causing them to employ printers
and obtain materials for the purpose,and then with
out cause has broken the contract sod bargained for
its publication elsewhere, he at length returned to
this place, and when onr just demands were pressed
upon him, he took the course generally adopted by
scoundrels under auch circumstances, to evade the
payment thereof; and very quietly left
between “ two suns,” with his “ feet in his hand”
and his conscience in his pocket.
VVe have thus given a hasty outline of some of
the base actions.of this character, and trust it will
prove sufficient to prevent others from falling into
the same snare that we have, and pat a quietus to
his speculations.
It is a sad reflection indeed that humanity is
degraded, as that such actions are peformed by me
it is sadder still to reflect that men are found
base and impious, as to sieze upon the holy mantle
«/ Christianity to cloak their actions and even dese
crate the sanctity of the sacred desk by endeavor
ing by its influence to screen, themselves from the
consequences of dishonesty, - -A „-
