men were as still as mice, while torrents of denun

But, daring the last week, the scene has changed ;
die vehement speeches now come frottol he •North,
not from the Free Soilrr*, but •* oW-line^ party titan
of the North. Tbe Northern men now make use
of the most inflamatory and menacing, and even in
sulting language. In this course, they do npt.pre-
tend to find other justification than that of the as
sumed threats of tl»e South, which they say are
offensive to their constituents, and place them in a
mortifying and abased position at home.
M So this war of crimination and recrimiation, of
'abuse and sarcasm, and of menaer and denuncia
tion, goes on, and waxes hotter and hotter. No
wonder members, who have heretofore had hopes
of an adjustment now entertain none at all. If we
were promised, on either aide, a peaceable separa
tion, it would not be so bad, but, on tbe contrary,
every northern man who speaks now, siezea the
war-denouncing trumpet.”
Under date of February 22, tbe same writer
aaya:
“ Tiiaddeus Staves*, of Pa., yesterday made
his first speech. He has a high reputation a* an
orator, lie made a forcible harrangue against
slavery as an evil, politically and morally. Some
of the Southern members were incensed at It,
though not so much as at Horace Mass’s speech.
Mr. Clemcss, of Alabama, made a speech in the
Senate, yesterday, against the admission of Cali
fornia, and the aggressions of the North, and in
dicating the consequence* that most ensue. He
did not see, however, why a peaceable dissolution
could not tske place; but, if not, responsibility
must rest on tbo North—the party whose injustice
produced these results.
“ General Cass made an extraordinary speech in
reply—rebuking in the most pointed manner, the
vehemence and tbe threats of the South, and the
movements of the South. He staled that
•rate and patriotic man could maintain his posi
tion with either party ; that if he did not believe
slavery to be the roost desirable institution in the
world, he was denounced by the South as an Abo-
j litionist; and if be resisted tbe Wilmot Proviso,
I h* wa* denounced at borne as a dough face.—
I Tbe storm, he raid, had rolled over him, and bra-
ken him down, and he was here Tor the last time,
lie said the North was driven to the wall by the
threats of the South; and after citing some of
tliese Southern views, he said—“ I cannot stand
it any longeT.”
“ He admitted that, at first blush, ho was i
vorofthe Wilmot Proviso, and the Southern
did not show any alarm at it. Upon subsequent
examination he came to the conclusion that it was
unconstitutional. He did not consider the proviso
jas any thing but a pretext for a quarrel. Every
age had its Wilmot Proviso. Once we met it
the shape of a lax on Tea. He said that ho had
no hope of any adjustment, lie expected nothing
from the prudence, wisdom, and moderation of men.
We were in the hands uf God, he wonkl do with
•she pleased; bullet no man flatter himself, said
he, that this Union can be peaceably dissolved.
“General Cass,I suppose, will resign his seat
when the Proviso is pressed on him,'and then go
home and lake a position against the South.
“ 1 do not find that any one has now much hope
of any Compromise.”

FROftl WASHINGTON.
CorretpoMdenc* of the Charted** Courier.
Washington, Feb. 18—10, P. M.
I write in the Hall of Representatives, the House
having been in session ten hours, and being likely
to sit ten hours more.
The struggle between the North and South has
begun, this day. Wheu and where it will e nd God
only knows. This was the day, under the rules
of the Hcuse, for tbe call ol States for Resolutions.
Mr. Doty, of Wisconsin, offered a resolution to
refer the California Constitution to the Committee
on Territories, with instructions to report a bill
forthwith to admit California into tbo Union on an
equal footing with the original States, and uponjtlie
a proposed by her. The previous question
moved and seconded. At this point, tbe South-
men took a stand, which has been frequently
referred to to by me as tlie posture they intended to
take. They resorted to Parliamentary tactics to ob
struct the action of the House. Motions were mad*,
lay the resolution on the table,
to call tbe House, to adjourn, &c., and upon each
of these motions the yeas and nays were demand
ed and ordered. These motions were repeated
during the day, and now and then varied by a mo
tion from a Southern member to be excused from
voting, and a demand for the yeas and nays
that. Occasionally a Southern member would
make a point of order, and no matter what the de
cision of the Chair might be, there was an appeal
and a demand for the yeas and nays.
Tbe Southern members bad more than a suffi
cient number on every count to demand the yeas
and nays. Finally, no count was demanded, it
being token for granted that tlte Southern
would not give way; and tbe House, as sot
one call of the roll i« finished,
upon a mere motion.
The number of members in favor of the admis
sion of California, voting in the House to-day, is
about one hundred and twenty to seventy. The
majority in favor of bringing California into the
Union may be said to be about fifty. It does not
follow that every one of the majority is in favor
of bringing California into the Union, unconnected
with any other measu re. It is well known and
understood here, that, if California be admitted
separate measure, it will defeat any compro-
Bet still we hope—though almoet against hope
—for a different and a satisfactory result Ido
not know that much can be expected from Mr.
Webster’s promised suggestion or plan of aq. ac
commodation. Many schemes are talked of.
Several members of the House, to say nothing of
tbe Senators, are laboring to bring about an ac
commodation . Tbe hope is that the proceedings of
last night will render every one aware of tbe posi
tion of tbe ISoath, and convince the administration
and tbe country that the question must be settled
upon proper terms.
I do not think tbe South will agree to any thing
short of tho Missouri line. They will not consent
to receive California with lier assumed boundaries.
They would agree to take California, as a State,
with a Southern boundary of 36“ 30', provided
territorial governments be established, without re
gard to slavery. They require, also, that the boun
daries claimed by Texas be recognized, and that,
in regard to the territory which Texas may cede to
the United States, there shall no institution ol
slavery, by Congress. This seems to be the nlti
matnm of the Sooth. I doubt wliether the North
will agree to it. They now scout it.

of our impression:'

Alter the North have got what they
want they will not trouble themselves further.
Tho South is therefore determined to resist the
admission of California, and resist it in this, the
only practicable way.
There is now less hope of a compromise than
heretofore. It is feared that tite resolutions of the
New-York General Assembly have driven home
the last nail. These resolutions, unless
acted by the public voice, will go far to prevent
any conciliation. At tbe same lime, there are
favorable signs in Pennsylvania, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, New-York and Indiana, ot a dis
position to arrest further agitation.
1 am very glad to learn that Mr. Webster in
tends to offer a plan, which will be acceptable to
the South ; and that b« will have the support of
Gen. Greene, of Rhode Island, and Mr. Phelpj,
of .Vermont, and that bis scheme of compromise
will command a majority in the Senate.
He Is willing to keep California back, until tbe
whole question is settled, and to settle it by one
bill. Tbe particular features ol hi# plan have been
shown tq kotoe members and Senator* from the
South and approved. Mr. Webster will not
probably bring forward his project for some days.
In regard to the struggle now going da in the
House, neither party shows any disposition to give
way. As soon as this is over, Dorr’s resolution

Major Noah has addressed the following
munication to the New York Commercial Adver
tiser. It makes known a curious fact, of which
few of our readies, we laucy.are cognizant:
In your paper of Thursday evening, my at
tention has been called to tbe following paragraph
A very old Subscriber’ ’’ asks us to tell him
whether it is true that a treaty of the Uoited
States with Tripoli containing an express renun
ciation of the Christian character on tlie part of
the former. We cannot give the desired informa
tion. The alleged fact was pat forth recently,
we believe, by Major Noah, in his Messenger. If
his account of the matter is true, perhaps he
designate the treaty more particularly.’’
The treaty alluded to was negotiated by Joel
Barlow, consul general and agent plenipotentiary
of the United States, with tlie Bey and subjects
of Tripoli, in Barbary, and was confirmed by the
Senate in tlie year 1791; the treaty itself bears
date the fourth day of January, 1797. Tbe sec
tion referred to is the 11th article, as follows:
“ As the Government of the United States ol
America is not; in any sense, founded i
Christian religion ; as it has in itself no character
o{ comity against the laws, religion and tran
quilly of Mussulraen, [Mussulman,] and r~ ”
said States never have entered into any >
act of hostility against any Mehometan n
it is declared by the parties that no pretext aris
ing from any religious opinions shall ever pro
duce an interruption of tbe harmony existing
between the two countries.”
Mr. Barlow was a Irce thinker in religious mat
ters, and I disapproved of the article, because it
has engrafted his private prejudices upon .* sol
emn official contract made with a foreign nation,
when the object contemplated could hav
reached without using any language calculated
to offend tlte religious attachments oi the people,
and. when, at all events, it was quite unnecei
to Inform the Mussulmans of Tripoli that ii
feet we bad no religion at all. Our relations
with Tripoli at the time were so' threatening that
if tlie Senate had rejected that article and s
treaty back, it woold have been difficult
tain another.”
