Mr. Clay, chairman of the committee of
thirteen, submitted his report to the Senate on
Wednesday. It is quite a lengthy document,
but the views and recommendation* contained
in it, are embraced in the following recapitu
lation:
1. Tire admission of any new State or States
formed out of Texas to be postponed until
they shall hereafter present themselves to be
States.

The following sections of the bill relate t^tlie
slave trade in the District ct Columbia :
Be it enacted, Ac.—That from and after the day
0 f next, it shall not be lawful to bring into tho
District of Columbia, any slave whatever for the pur
pose of being sold, or for the purpose of being plac
ed in depot, to be subsequently transported any oth

whole duty in regard to the vast country which,
having been ceded by Mexico to the United
States, has fallen under thuir dominion. It will
have extended to it protection, provided for its
several parts the inestimable blessing of free
and regular government adapted to their va
rious wants, and placed tho whole under the
banner and flag of the United Sta tes. Meeting
courageously its clear nnd entire duty. Con
gress will escape the unmerited reproach of
having, from considerations of doubtful policy,
abandoned to an undeserved fate territories of
boundless extent, with a sparse, incongruous,
and alien, if not unfriendly, population, speak
ing diff?rent languages, and accustomed to dif
ferent laws, whilst that population is making
■rrosistablo appeals to the new sovereignty to
which, they have been transferred for protection
for government, for law, and for order.
“The committee have endeavored to pie-
sent to the Senate a comprehensive plan of ad
justment, which, removing all causes of exis
ting excitement and agitation, leaves none
open to divide the country and disturb the gen
eral harmony. The natipn has been greatly
convulsed, not bymeasures of general policy,
but h, questions of a sectional character, and, tornni
therefore, more dangerous and more to bo de
precated. It wants repose. It loves and cher
ishes the Union. And it is mos t cheering and
gratifying to witness the outbursts of deep and
abiding attachment to it which have been ex
hibited in all parts of it, amidst nil the trials
through which we have passed and are passing.
A peoplo so patriotic us those of the United
Slates will reinico in an accommodat'pn of all
troubles and difficulties by which the safety of
that Union might have been brought into the
least danger. And, under tho blessings of that
Providence who, amidst all vicissitudes, has
never ceased to extend ,to them His protec
ting care, His smiles, nnd His blessings, they
will continue to advance in population, power,
and prosperity, und work out triumphantly the
glorious problem of man’s capacity for self gov
ernment.
The committee reported the necessary billa to
carry out their views. The first one is a bill to
admit Cal.fornia as a State into tho Union, to
establish Territorial Governments for Utah and
New Mexico, and making proposals to Texas
for the establishment of her w estern and north
ern boundaries. This' bill contains, in all,
thirty nine sections, many of them being devoted
to defining the officers, Executive, Legislative
aud Judicial, of the respective Territories, nnd
describing their duties. Tho following is so
much of this bill as provides for the admissiou of
California
Whereas the people of California have presented
a Constitution and asked admission into the Union,
which Constitution was submitted to congress by tne
President of the United States, by message, dated
February 13th, eighteen hundred and fifty, and
which, on due examination, is louud to be republican
in its form of government: , *
Be it enacted tfc., That the state of California shall
be one, and is hereby declared to be one, of the Uni
ted States of America, and admitted into the Union
on au equal footing with the original Statea in all res
pects whatever.
§ec. 2. And be it further enacted. That until the
Representatives in Congress shall be apportioned ac
cording to an actual enumeration of the inhabitants
of the United States, the Stato of California shall bc
entitled to two representatives in Congress.
Sec *3. And be it further enacted, That the said
State of California is admitted into the Union upon
the express condition that the people of said State,
• through their legislature or otherwise, shall never
interfere with the primary disposal of pubhc lands
within it* limits ; otul shall pass 110 * aw * n< * no
wheVeh^ie’titTqf the United Stato to, and right
may be lawful lor each of the Corporations of the
cities of Washington and Georgetown, from time to
time, nnd as often as may be necessary, to abate,
break up, and abolinh any depot or place of confine'
ment of slaves brought into the said District as mer
chandise, contrary to the provisions of this act, by
such appropiate menns as may nppenr to either of the
said Corporations, expedient and proper. And the
snnie power is hereby visited in the County Court of
Washington, if any attempt shall be made within its
limits to establish a depot or place of confinement for
slaves brought into the said District as merchandise,
for sale, contrary to this act.
Washington Gossip.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Sun,
under date of 9th inst., says :
The compromise is not yet lost, but it is in
some danger. Mr. Benton nnd Mr. Seward
have yet to fulfil their threats, or boast, that
they would heat the breath out of its body.
The more sanguine of its friends anticipated
for it a vote of forty of the Senators to twenty
against it. From the forty, if we must deduct
ten Southern Senutors, will be left only thirty
to thirty, and the measure will not be carried.
But it is not certain that the ten Senators nam
ed will not yet give their vote for tho scheme.
That is tiie expectation of tho friends of Culi-
At various times, several Southern Senators,
had declared, in the most solemn manner, that
tne South would not take, as a compromise,
any thing short of the line of 30 deg. 30, as
the Southern boundary of California, and the
organization of territorial governments without
restricting of slavery. Mr. Jefferson Davis
1ms frequently asserted this. Mr. Mason de
clared it as the principle of action ussumed hy
this Suite.
Now, as we have come to a test, these gen
tlemen take the earliest, opportunity to declare
So, we have now something like a
Abolitiou Meetings in New York.
In our paper of yesterday, we gave a brief
account of the proceedings of the “American
Anti Slavery Society,” which was broken up
by the interference of the Empire Club. The
New York papers contain detailed accounts of
tiie disgraceful proceedings of the funatics
and we are gratified to observe that two or
three journuls at least, are bold in condemning
the conduct of the abolitionists. The Herald
Globe, and Day-Book are decided in their tone
and evince a spirit of candor and fairness to
wards the South, highly honorable to the con
ductors of those papers. These journals have
taken a decided stand against tho perpetrators
of these abolition indccences, and are doing
much to arouse the patriotism and good sense
of the peoplo of New York, and to induce
them to disallow tho reputition of such dis
graceful proceedings in iuture.
At the evening meeting noticed yesterday,
Wendell Phillips made a most attiocious ti
rade, in the course of which he expressed tho
wish that “tho Constitution were torn in tat
ters and trampled under their feet.” This, ol
course, brought down a storm of opposition
from the galleries, which, at one time, threat
ened the most serious consequences
A rush was made towards tho stand, und
cries of “ strike the traitor down;” “Hurl him
from the platform,” wore hom'd from every
quarter; ,bi|t, the speaker, suddenly beating a
retreat, escaped personal violence
The Hutchinsons, who were kept in resereve
for such emergencies, struck up “Ye Sons of
Equality," but all to no purpose. They found
though music might have “charms to soothe
a ravage soul," it was powerless to apease the
anger of an indignant New York mob. At thi
juncture the following resolution was offered
bv Rynders and seconded by Thomas Moore
Resolved, That this meeting docs not see suf
ficient reasons for interfering with the domestic
institutions of the Souths even if it were con
stitutional, which it is not, and, therefore, will
not continue a fanatical agitation, whose aims
and ends are the overthrow of the churches, a
reign of unarchy, a division of interests, the
supremacy of a hypocritical ulheism, a general
amalgamation, and a'dissolution of tho Union.
For these reasons this meeting recommends to
the humanity mongers tho conhning of their in
vestigations in the progress of degradation
among the negroes of the North, and the in
creasing'inequality and poverty of the free tons,
whiles and blacks oi New York, and similar
places, instead of dealing ill scurrility, blasphe-
my and vituperation.
Tiie resolution was adopted by an almost
unanimous vote, and the meeting broke up in
the utmost confusion, tho abolitionists only
ty proceeded in their work of treason without
further interruption.
We commend these proceedings, and espe
cially the above resolution to the attention of
our anti-Southern Convention friends.
The resolution may justly be regarded ns a
declaration in advance on the part of the
members of the Anti-Slavery Society thut they
will not yield obedience to the contemplated
law of Congress, providing for the recovery of
fugitives. Well, let them resist the law. The
South will have gained one important poiut ut
least by its enactment. The Federal authority
will be interposed between the slave owner, and
the kidnapper. We will have a right to insist
upon the protection of the law, und wo will
see if the power of the federal govci^pment is
to be set at naught. If the luw is to be violated
and the authority of Congress disregarded,then
will our government cease to answer tho pur
pose for which it was created, and wo, as par
ties to the compact, will bo .absolved from its
obligations.
But we hope for better things. We hope for
better fruits from the ^compromise now before
Congress. We might name objections to this
arrangement. But we would rather take it as
it is, at the bunds of such men as Webster
Clay and Cass, than risk the consequences of
its failure. We beliovp that when the measure
is consummated, and goes to tho country with
the sanction of sucli men us those we have
named, it will lie received and sustained by the
patriotism and intelligence of tho whole Union
and that the people of the South will udopt it as
a platform of reconciliation and good faith, and
that, rallying to the support of the Constitution
and the Union, they will turn upon the incen
diaries who have driven the country to its pn
sent alarming crisis, and put them down
lence their senseless clamors, and thus restore
peace and confidence to the South, and securo
the perpetuity of the union of the States.

Great Fire at Huntsville.—An Extra
from the Huntsville Advocate announces the
destruction by fire oil the night of the 2d in
stant of two squures nnd nhalf of buildings in
the centre of the town. Among them were
many large and costly houses, including the
Caldwell House, the Market House, and we
egret to add the office of the Huntsville Dem
ocrat.
The destruction of property in buildings is
said to have been very great; the contents of
the various stores, shops, dwellings, &c., were
partially saved, but tho loss and destruction is
immense.
Frost in Louisiana.—TheN. O. Pitayu ne
of the 7th inst., says —
We were Bhown this forenoon a young cut-
ton plant with other tender vegetation, bearing
unmistakable signs of frost. These articles
were taken this morning from a garden in the
city, and the frost was last night. The cropi
have undoubtedly suffered.
We would not be surprised to learn that tlm
growing cbtton in the upper section of our
own State had been injured by frost. The
change in the weather on Saturday night last
was most remarkable at this season of the year.
On Sunday it was quite cool, enough for fire,
and on Sunday night the air felt cool enough
for frost even in this latitude.
By reference to our weather table for the
month, we find that the thermometer, which
stood at 86 on Saturday at 2 P. M., was
down to 68, at the same hour on Sunday.
Offices going at Begging.—It appears that
there does not now exist a single civil officer in

low to justify persons in taking office.
Cruel Robuery.—A few days aince, a Mr.
John Nicholson and his wife, respectable resi
dents of Glenn’s Falls, visited N<? w York, in
which city they were entire strnngers. The
same evening, while taking a walk, Mr. Nich
olson was accosted by a well dressed man. who
inquired tho time. «The countryman produced
his watch, which the other snatched,aud made
off; nt the same time another man ran against
Nicholson, and stole his pocket book, contain
ing all the money he had, about $100.
Cotton Crop in Texas.—Late accounts
from Texas give a very unfavorable account of
the Cotton • prospect in that region. There
had been a great rise in the water courses.
The Trinity was even higher than it had been
for muny years, and many plantations were
overflowed in the vicinity. The Galveston
News of the 2d inst. says:—
The unusually cold and wet spring has made all
the crops very backward, and the prospect lor
the cotton crop is very unfavorable. There is
said to be very little cotton or other produce in
the Trinity valley now remaining to be shipped
to market.

It hns been asserted here that the Senators escaping personal violence through the mterter-
Irom Virginn, from Florida,'from South Caro
lina, Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, Mr Clemens,
of Alabama, Mr. Borland and Mr. Sebastian,
of Arkansas, Mr. Downes, of Louisiana, will
insist upon the line of 30 30, or vote against Mr.
Clay’s scheme'. Tho votes of these eleven
Senators would defeat the scheme now in the
Senate. But it may be that some of the Sen
ators above named will waive their objections
to the scheme, uml adopt it, as a whole, peihups
with slight modification.
Thero is still a fair prospect that whatever
may pass the Senate will pass tho House ; but
not. perhaps, till after a conference between
the two Houses.

uf his remarks, Mr. Lewis, of Cmcinnatti, of
fered the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is our solemn conviction
that it would be a hienous sin in us to .lend our
aid in subjecting any of our fellow men to the
atrocities of American slavery, und wo do,
therefore, before God, pledge ourselves to each
other, that wo will incur any penalty which
unprincipled politicians in Congress may deem
it expedient to imposo upon us, rather than be
tray a fugitive slave, or assist in his capture.
The question was taken on this resolution,
and it was declared to be adopted.
Lewis Tappan road an abstract from the
