Stales." To this resolution I tvua decidedly opposed and gave my reasons for it. lu these, if 1 remember right, yon concurred. By reference to the jour nal, on the 1T«I» July, yon will find I aucceded in having tlicso objections entered on the jonrmil. I asked to he excused froth voting, dial I might he enabled to assign my reasons, which were os follows: •* Mr. Stanly asked to bo excused from voting, because the Judiciary Committee had not time at this period of tho session, to examine nnd pre- S re any law on any subject; because tho Presi- M and tho* Secretary of the Navy had already foil power nml authority to exclude them from giving testimony against n white lunn, nud to set aside tlm proceedings of cunrts martial, if they saw any thing requiring their interference; nud because ho (Mr. 8.) could not consent that tho Navy ahmild Im deprived of tho services of ne groes, na cooks, stewards, nud servants; for them is no necessity they should be witnesses; mid be- cainm, to enact audio law ns the gentleman from Alabama proposed, would, in elfecl. make white men negroes, by imposing on them the necessity of discharging unties heretofore discharged by negroes." This explains my opinions as a Southern man, and aa a member of thn Judiciary Committee.— And after deliberate examination, 1 believe these views are correct: and I know a large majority ofSondiern men think with me. TW greet laboratory of lies, the Glnhe, gives tha names of those who voted agains* Mr. Clmp- man's resolution. t If yon will look at the Journal, yon will find, on tlse 14Ui of Jnly, Mr. Chapman introduced his resolution to have die tnles suspend), and die yeas and nays are there given. The Glolie would nave the South to believe, that all die Loco Fo- Cos Who supported Mr. Chapinnu in-fci* motion are good Democrat*.-nml friends of the South.

Nothing said nf white midshipmen, or white able seamen. N'n one can doubt tliat under this law many white midshipmen wero employed, nnd ma ny black sailors. But according to the nrguinuut nr thu President nud his Secretary of tlm Navy, “ there is no net nf Congress which prohibits tlio ndmissioii of colored portions," as midshipmen in thn navy. And leannot see according to the views nl dm President, why tiff should not appoint a few negro midshipmen, In tho navy ofiho Unit ed Slates, olid 1 should hnguld to hour any sup- porter of hi* give any reason for his doing so, that would tmt with vamil force apply ogaUttt tUew be- ing admitted ns witnesses against whim pursuit*.

A President who disregard* the mor- nl sense ofiho whole southern country, who pays no respect to their prejudices, except so far a* Urn law or Congress compels him, is unlit to preside over the destinies of these United States, which could never have been united without concession, and which will be disunited when that patriotic spirit of concession jhall depart from among us.

As to Mr. Secretary Paulding, hi* feelings have nlwny* been of an uufrieudly character toward* die Smith.

Judging from what dmy have already said, nsio die Vermont election*, (should not he much surprised, if they boldly charge dm Whig victory in Mniue, ns an abolition triumph. You may expect to hear Uii* next. Of course die Whig majorities in Kentucky, lamisiana, and North-CaioUna, will all likewise be imputed to abolition influence. As in Maine, it umy he as well to refrush the memories of Uiase who have forgotten the cir cumstance*. Mr. Albert Smith, of Maine, who was recently;defeated, gave satisfactory answers, to the uholitionists before hi* election. Mr. Smith said in his letter: " No man can Ire more decidedly opposed to slavery iu Ute abstract, or more deeply desire the freedum of the whule hu man family tlwu mytclf." Mr. Smith wasutsa opposed to the admission of Texas, and in favor or the right to petidon. Mr. Fairfield, the Governor of Maine, wlm has just been defeated, was a member of the last Congress: he also wrote a letter to die aboliti onists, in which, he assured them Uiat he regard ed slavery as a “ moral and political evil," to which ho is, and has ever been, bndt iu principle and feeling, utterly opposed, and that it* entire abolition could afliird to no one, more sincere pleasure titan himself. But he is now regarded a* one whom the abolitionists havn defeated. Mr. Fairfield was in Congress when Mr Calhoun, of Kentucky, on the 13dt December. 1839, intro duced the following resolution, which I copy from the journals before me: “Mr. Caluou.v, of Kentucky, that the rule* be suspended to- «a«bln him to move the following resolution: "Rescued, Tliat tho Committee on the Judicin- ry ba instructed to report a bill making it uulaw- fnl Tor any person to aid fugitive dares in escap ing from their owners, and pruvidiug for the pun ishment in the Courts of the United States of ail persons who indy be guilty of such offence, “And that they be further instructed to report a bill making it uulawful for any person in the nnn-slavelioldiug Stale of this Union to n*e any mean* to induce slave.* from their owners, and providing for the punishment, in the Courts of the United State*, of all person* who may be guilty of such offence." Now, surely, no matt friendly to the rights of tiio South, no good “democrat" could object to the passtge of such a resolution, but os the entire abolition of slavery could afford lo one more sin cere pleasure than to him, bn was found voting against Mr. Calhoun's motion. The names of H. J. Anderson, Thomas Davee, John Fairfield, nud Virgil D. Paris, Loco-foco*. from Maine, will be found iu the journal, with names of Alex ander Duncan, Isaac Fletcher, William l'urmen- ter, aud William Slade, all opposing this reason* able, just, and honest proposition. Before concluded. 1 wish to exntniue a portion of the President's letter—a letter full of subter fuge and prevaricatimi, the reading of which fill ed me with shame nt the thought Butt its author was President of the United States. The Pres ident say*, “There is tie act of Congress which prohibits (lie ndmissioii of colored person* a* wit nesses in Courts .Martial." Again he says: “If U l 'e wr**»s to admit them, the fault i» in the law. and the remedy is to be found only iu its altera tion." I have selected these passage* for remark, a* tho letter b M « "Iraady • ecu fully expored, and iep- etitiou is useless. The President tells us, with a* much distinctness us hu can, that in all cases hereafter, where negro testimony is admitted a- gainst a white man, lie cniiimt interfere. This should lie understood. If Martin Van Buren i* re-leected (of which thank Heaven there is now I believe no danger,) lie will never interfere in setting nside thefproceeding* of Courts Martial, In which such testimony has been admitted. And he expect* the votes of Southern States with this insulting declaration! Now, in all this, I think the course of the President, merit* the severest reprehension. Ac cording tn the inclination of my mind at present, I should feel bound to oppose such a law, and for several reasons. In the first place. I trust we shall never have a President again who could be pithy' «f •noli conduct, unit tieewnsu I pre fer to let the matter rest where it now does— upon that spirit of concession, by which, ns Gen- eprfHurrismt said our union was effected, and /without which, it could not lie preserved. If we 'are to depend upon Legislative action for the E rotection of our right*, the Union had ns well e dissolved. Them tire obligation of u high er character jlmn mere acts nf Cofigms*. Be- sides if Congress turn puss a lawmaking negro testiniouoy illegal. Congress can repeal the Inw. Suppose a hill should be introduced m the House of representatives, declaring tliat Congress shottId not during _ die next two years, abolish slavery in this district! Would nuy Southern man vote for it? Surely not, for it concedes tn Congress the right to abolish slavery in this district. Or supposes a bill should lie introduced, declaring tliat the people of Virginia should uot he molested in taking their slaves from thn State of Alabama. What Southern man would vote for it' Noun, because Virginia hold* her right much moro eecarelp than if it was only pro- lected by an uct of Congress. The President, therefore, to my mind, does not regurd this ques tion as a Patriot should-his* southern principles" are not found in operation hem. The right of a white man, in u sluvo-holdiug State, to object totlid admission nf the testimony of negro ser- vuuts, bn cannot effected by un uct of Cougres*. But let me illustrate the niiRonndness of the Pm*ident’* argument further.

This I copy from his let ter published soon after his journey through Vir gins. But afterwards, in 1835. Mr. Paulding published a new edition nf his work, nud in this edition of 1835, all tliat I quoted is entirely omitted! In thn old edition, thn letter 11th “occupies more than thirteen pages,* um In ihe eUiuOQ_of 1835, (published after Mr. VunBiiran hooMine a “North- em mnn witli Southern principles,") tins letter tlm 11th, occupies only three pages! No wonder such a matt will say the President had nothing to do withtl e proceedings in Hooe’s case, ond also wiy that it had been the uniform practice to admit negroes to testify against white men, when he was not able to produce a single instance. This letter has nlreatly extended much further then I expected, Imtbeiore I conclude, let me ap prise you of some of the contemptible, designs of the Locnfocos. I have teen two letters from gentlemen ofchnr- nctarml\mtftlltg«nce, couitnuuicattng the fact, that the Van Buren party intend, shortly before the Presidential election, to issue bund bills,and start reports of intended m-urrection* iu tlieSoutli. I have no doubt that some Mich plan is in contem plation. We know that many of them are wicked enough to do any thing. They are uot only struggling for bread, uud they fear the investiga tion which is to come. Let our friends, therefore, be prepared for these villainous tricks; but let it bo understood that when the insurrection takes place, Benjamin Toppan has promised to furnish five hundred dollars to buy powder uud allot for Uicue-roes, aud he is a good Vau Buren demo crat. Our friends, everywhere, are full of confidence and feel assured of victory. No mail cun doubt any longer, thut Geiier.il Harrison will be elect ed; elected iu spite of the persecutions or unprin cipled officeholder*, nud tlm furious assaults of lit > Globe, ami Uie abolition pupers, which con tinue to denounce. him nwst violently- I hope, iu this most important struggle, Virginia, tho laud of Washington, Mudhon, Henry, and Marshall, will be found as she was in the revolution, among the first, in resisting, nimnnoiuly, the encroach ments of power. I trust she will, not only, in defence of the character of her own distin guished son, hut for the sake of Uie whole coun try, express her opposition to the man who has by wretched experiments, brought a prosperous couutry almost to ruin, who has by pitiful equiv ocation, .caused every patriot to leel ashamed for bis country, and who has sanctioned die admin- siou of negro tevtiniouy against one of her own sous, and declared he mu*t continue to do so. I have travelled through the State of New York, and, of course, saw many of the people of tliat State, and many from New England; 1 saw them in private social intercourse, aud saw them iu public meetings, consisting of ten thousand uud twenty thousand persons, and I assure you, eve ry decent man 1 met. with whom l conversed up on the subject, spoke with contempt of Uie aboli- tionixk, wihI mii prise ilmt any nonlli- ern man could imagine the majority of thu people were infected with that villainous heresy.

As for sound, honest legislation for tho'whole coun try they have had nothing of it. Their every re quisite, their every object hn* been party—pnrty —party.

Scarcely one of their measures has corresponded with their expectations, and still they have the hnrdihood to assume thot all their operations are wisely designed for Ute pub lic good. They remind one of Ute early chemists, who in attempting new and untried experiments, always did it wiUt the imminent risk of having their retorts blown up, their faces scalded and their eyes put out, by the new and explosive combination*.

Much misapprehension exist* end has existed on Ute subject of transportation on Rail Road*. While the Savannah nud Mucoti toad wna bring ing down thousands of hags of cotton, persons were to bo found who would gravely question Uto ability of Rail Roods to transport heavy arti cles nf merchandize. In truth, tlm Liverpool nnd Manchester, aud tho Boston nnd Lowel Railways, had fairly solved Ute problems of transportation, while the opin ion seemed to be almost universal,’thnt tho utility of Uteae Roads would be limited mainly to Uie transportation of passengers nnd light freight. From the Journal of Commerce. TRANSPORTATION OF GOODS BY RAIL ROADS. Tho opinion thnt Rail Roads arc of little or no value for the purpose of transporting goods, al- though very common, i* entirely erroneous. Experience has ulready shown, and is daily rendering it more and moro apparent, that in the busy and densely populated parts of Ute country u very large portiou of Uie receipt* may he de rived from Una source. A statement of a few facts in relation to some of tho principal New England Rail Roads, taken from Uio Annual Roporta in Junuary last, before the Legislature of Massachusetts, will show Uie importance of this kind of business. Tlio receipt* on the Lowell Rail Roud from the transportation offreight nnd pnssetigers, were $240,219 94; of which $105,182 59 were for transportation of merchandise; exceeding by moro Utnn $13,000 tho entire expense* of the Corporation of every kind during Ute year, ond this although Ute road is a very short one (26 miles), and the Middlesex Cunul is in operation betweun tho *amo point*. Tho proportion of Uie merchandise receipts on the Boston and Providence Rail Road i* Ikhh; but tiw amount is by uo moons iiionmitierabta, being $72,939 II during the name year. Un tho Boston and Worcester Rail Rond tho receipt* for pa**ongors were $122,405 92. Tho freight, mail, &c.$106,25] 16. Leaving about $100,000 from freight alone. It is also stated that similar result* aro shown In the Imsines* on tho Norwich nnd Worcester Hull Bond,which commenced its operation* only in Uie Spring of the present yenr. The principal expense on the Rail Rond* of moderate inclinations, is the loading and unload ing of the good*; and it is thu* up pure nt tliut if by one continuous Rail Road, or the union ofn number of distinct Rail Rond*, a lung unbroken line i* obtained, thn expense of Rail Roud trans portation is essentially diminished.
