I* llie llnlnn to be Uinaolrcil t and for
vflint t
For two years past wo havo warned the people of
ttio North, tlmt the Union Wan in danger ; and wo
have exhorted them to avert the cata8troplic,by timely
concessions. While we believe that most ol our sub
scribers substantially concur with ua in opinion,
yet we are constrained to say that to this hour tho
North, as a wliolo, nro in a great measure ignorant of
tho dangers that await ns. They havo boon deluded
by demagogues and by newspapers, and wo nro sor
ry to add, by many clergymen! into a belief that
there was not tho slightest dnugor of 11 rupture, that
the South knew too much to withdraw front a Union
which was essentiul to their existonce, and that even
if Dissolution should follow, tho course of tho North
on tho subject of slavery ought not to be changed.
What f suici thoy, shall we makn a compromise witli
sin ! Shall we do evil, that good may come ? Ami
so they continued tlielr agitation, and turned a deaf
ear both to warnings and entreaties. Even when it
was proved to thorn, beyond a reasonable doubt, that
tho YVilmot Proviso, or an Act of Congress exclud
ing sluvery front the new Territories, was of no prac
tical impnrtanco, since without such an Act, slavery
could never prevail to any extent in the new Territo
ries, they still persietedln demanding the Proviso, bo
the consequences what they might Their hearing
towards the South was supercilious, intolerant, un-
brothorly, abusive, nnd precisely such ns, either in a
family or community, must, if persisted in lead to
collision, disunion, mid separation. People will not
consent to live together In perpetual hostility. If
they must be enemies, thoy will prefer to assume the
attitudes of enemies.
Too many at the North have -entirely overlooked
this invariable law of human nature ; invariable
when not overruled by fear or physical force. Good
men at heart, conscientious men, Christian men, i. e.
some such, perhaps we should say many such, have
been engaged for years in blowiugup the flames which,
unless speedily checked, will burn down the fabric of
this glorious Union.. They thought they wore only
expressing, theirabhorrence of slavery; hut in truth
they made themselves slaves to tho Demon of Des
truction, and were employed by him to undermine
tho most beneficent Work that man ever reared.
What if this Union wore dissolvod I Would slav.
ory bo thereby abolished? No; but tile influence
which the free .States, while politically united
to the slave-holding, can exeit over the subject
would become a repellent power, nnd the pros
pects of the slave Would be more hopeless than ever.
Some people ore so silly ns to suppose that in case of
Separation tho slaves would over-power their mas
ters and thus secure their freedom. They must he
devils incarnate if they desire it with its accompnny-
' tug horrors; but, that three million slaves, without
# operiy t arms, or resources of nny kind, could ovei-
jyer twice their number of whites, possessing all
we elements of power and many others, is too ah-
rd for belief, ,Sneaking after tho manner o men,
it is impossible. The ordy effect of tho attempt would
be, to cause a dreadful massacre of whites, chielly
women and children, anil then a fearful retribution
upon tho Macks, followed by riveting of tlielr c hnins
more firmly than ever. We repeat, and menu what
we say, tlmt nny mail who desires a servile war at the
South, with all the frightful consequences which must
ensue, isnn Incarnate Fiend,
Again, It is said l™ some, that the South with 3,000,-
000 slaves, would. DO incapable of contending with
tho North, or with say foreign nation. So far from
this, it is our deliberate opinion that the South would
be more powerful as an independent nation, with her
6 slaves than without them. In carrying on war, a
multitude ol men nro required as teamsters, nnd for
mere manual labor. For many such purposes, nr.
■ groes would be more useful than white men, in a
Smulien! climate ; and being necessarily scattered,
siul hi tile presence or neighborhood of on armed
tense, they could not niuko the slightest resistance, if
disposed. Bat it is probable n groat many of thorn
Would side with their masters from affection nnd
choice. The South has double the whit© population
which the whole country had during tho war of In
dependence ; nnd she hns also n mighty nrmy in her
Sickly climate (sickly to Northern constitutions) and
wide extent of territory. The South could, if ne
cessary, raise a force of (iOO.OUO fighting men; sulli-
»l«nt to resist any army tlmt could he sent against
them from nny quarter. In short, wo do not believe
that there isa nation on earth Clint could conquer the
Sowtlv. The North could not; Great Jtritian, with all
her power, could not. Neither ilo wo believe that a
war with tile South would 1 give freedom to many
slaves. Those near tho frontiers would ol course be
early sent into the interior, beyond the reach ot scout
ing parties and Abolitionists. The English, in the war
et ISlJ-Liin spkeof all theirefforts,captured or de
coyed away only about 3000 slaves, for which they
afterwards indemnified the owners.
But will the Union be dissolved? We hope-not;
wo believe not. But this belief, (ns wo said months
ago, when wc were ridiculed i y a coteuipornry for
expressing apprehensions of danger,) is founded en
tirely upon- aintiier belief, vi*„ tlmt public sentiment
at the North will yet rally mightily for the Union, nnd
compel such concessions as are necessary to preserve
it. These concessions may, however, come (bo late.
When the Rubicon, is passed, the step will cot easily
be retraced If any disaster should befall the Union,
resulting from, the fanatical' movements of the North,
a dreadful retribution uwuits those moll, whi ther
clergymen off laymen, whether demagogues or
dupes, whtvbavn lomented the mischief. In such a
case, they will find plenty of employment without
abusing the Journal of Commerce. It is only last
week that we saw in an obscure religious paper, pub
lished at Hartford, (which was sent us, we suppose
as a special act of courmsy) a thrions tirade against
tins journal, in which the dialect of billingsgate is as
freely resorted to as it uglily wus by a certain very
independent paper in this city and its <*) contributor.
Now wo beg ti s ly to ail such papers, and to all n r-
, sons shoring the same spirit, tlmt in our opinion imp
ure much more harmlessly employed in viiilyin ff ml
Journal of Commerce than tile South, We bnve
“ been too long in tho harness to ho at all disturbed | )v
such tirades, which any body can vomit forth if ou |b
his stomach is foul enough to originate them, if i,b
stafriliivg between such revilers and the South weean
intercept their shafts for a time, until thefearful crisis
which they and others like them havo brought uuon
the country,-is past, wo shalibo mosthnppy and most
thankful. lu the mean time, that the ‘‘Christian"
libelcr nnd slanderer aforesaid may not lose his labor
we subjoin a small portion of his article for the bene’
fit of the public; lu ~
“ We hate hoeu at an utter loss to account for tho
course which it [the J,-of CJ 1ms poreued on those
questions. Is it Interested in some plantation ut the
Houth. w.th its usuul appendages ? Or is it from fe.
norsneo and moral ohtuseimss th at it puts forth such
statements ua its columns have been teemine with for
the lust year or more? Or felts coursoto he u-.counted
for by roilr'ringieto aree! in snees of right and a heart
less mendacity from which even the It’cw York Herald
L would shrink as too degrading for its loathsome col-
n umns? Is it interested in Texas scrip? Andisthis
■ the secret of its horror of New Mexico nnd its free
If Constitution? Is this what prompted its Jesuitical
and, ns wo must think, wilftlly unjust intimation'
recently putfortir, that even Santa Fe, its capital may
he found to belong to Texas? Weshould hnsorryto
impute sueh motives to the Journal, if we did not find
them necessary to the explication of its conduct • but
a conduct so porsistingly and perversely wrong, could
not, without a violation of all probabilities, and an
oversvveeptng of the limits of charity itself, be at-
trilmted to any disinterested, humane, or just consid
erations. If the Journal were avowedly reckless
did U openly declare its mendacity, and profess to
trifle with all duty mid obligation, it would boas
much beneath reproof, ns it is now beneath the re
apeet and confidence of upright and intelligent free
men. But having such claims as it dove to morality
and a regard for right, it surely ought not to he al
lowed to trirle with justice, in tin manner it 1ms of
late, without a rebuke from every lover of consistcn-
«y nnd humanity "
A little further on, the Reverend slanderer epeake
of this print ns « most veneal,” &o. It is not Worth
while to be offended at the raving* of it t uugry man;
yet we me.no to draw a nyotal from them, if within
so narrow a compass, r, “Christian Secretary" can
utter, or imply so many falsehoods about us, who are
within six hours distance from him, how many false
hood'*Ynany It be prk-mmed he has uttered about (he

ORNING NEWS .WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1850.
Conuvcution, most of the
and numerous district os-
ined that if oxcludcd, with
their slaves, from tlie whole of the new Territories,
by nsi act of Congress, they will withdraw from the
Union. This is tneir pdsiuon, and We solemnly be
lieve It will be maintained. The South regard the
new Territories us belonging to them, hs much as to
the North ; and they are right in so regarding them.
If Nature or Providence lias excluded them from a
participation in tho common posesslon, they submit
to its behests. If the people of the Territories, when
sufficiently numerous to he eric ted into States, decide
to exclude slavery from their respective limits, the
Southincquiesres. But they will not consent to be de
prived of tlielr rights, or what they firmly believe to
tie their rights, by an arbitrary Act of Congress.
Wo do not wonder at this. Men do not like to
bo crowded off tbo log, even though it is a poor log,
and not worth sitting upon. The South expended
their full share bf blood and treasure in acquiring the,
new Territories, and do not like to ho told now
"You shall have no purt of tho plunder." The North
wo hnve no doubt, would feel just so in similar cir
cumstances.
There must he some way found to reconcile exist
ing differences. The Compromise proposed by Mr.
Clsy is the best, provided it will bo satisfactory to
the South, which we begin to doubt. This plan pro
poses the admission of California with her present
Constitution, excluding Slavery, tho erection of New
Mexico and Ululiinto Territories without any restric
tion for or against slavery ; and the appointment of
Commissioners for tile adjustment ot the Texas
boundary, ft also makes more effectual provisions
for (lie surrender of fugitive slnves. und stipulates
tlmt if in any case u slave should fail to be recovered
by reason of obstructions thrown in tho way of his
capture, his pecuniary value shall be paid from the
Treasury oi tile United States. For many months
this bill hus been under discussion in the Semite,
speeches enough havo been made upon it to fill ninny
largo volumes : amendment after iiiucndmeiU lias
been offered and rejected; a few have been adopted,
tlie most important of whicli is that of Mr. Bradbury
of Maine, providing for n reference of the boundary
question to Commissioners to be appointed by the
United States and Texas respectively. This amend
ment was udopteii yesterday, hy a vote of 29 to 28,
and Is considered us securing tile pnssngo oi' tbo bill
in the Senate. Tho decision of the Commissioners
is not to he binding, until ratified by the U. S. gov
ernment, und also ny Texas. The success of the hill
in the ilouso of Representative*is as yet problem
atical. it is opposed alike hy the free Suffers of the
North and the perpetual slavery men of the South.
It is supported hy moderate men of both sections
and of ootli political parties, In ubout equul proper
tioiis.
Should this bill becoino a law, and should it hnve
theett'eetto quiet the agitation which prevails, it will
be a matter of just con.r uulutlan. But we fear that
this is too much to be hoped for. The Free boilers
and Abolitionists of the North have announced in
advance that if the bill passes, they will agitate for
ropeul; and there is' a strong party at the Soutli who
will join them In tho work, unless they decide to
adopt extreme measures at once,. The fact ia that agi
tation is precisely what the Abolitionists whuL It is
the element in which they breathe. Tranquility is
to them synouyinous with stagnation; good-will be
tween the Soutli andtheNorth, is synonymous with
cruelty to tile slave. While this delusion continues,
and is countenanced by the leading' political parties
at tlie North, through jealousy of each other, and in
the hope of making political capital, there cun be no
permanent peace. When the Territorial question is
disposed of, tlie agitation will relnto to slavery in the
District ut Columbia ; and when that is disposed of!
hy tho retrocession of tlie District to Maryland, ex
cept the sites of tho public buildings, some pretext
will he found for meddling witii slavery in tlie States.
Thus the nation is surrounded with perils ; and it re
quires more than tlie wisdom of man to avoid or ro-
iuovo thorn. We hope for tho best, and mean to do
so. But we candidly confess, that wo cuve never seen
a time when the perpetuity of the Union seemed to
us so much endangered as at present.
[Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun.]
Washington, August 2d, 1850.
You will bo glad to learn that on Monday Mr.
Tierce will introduce a bill to establish the territo
ry oi New Mexico, and settle the boundary of Te v -
aa. 1 hopo it mayjhe an acceptable bill. Should it
meet tbo views of (he two Texan Senators, and, at
tlie same time, receive the nssen* oi Mr. Underwood
mid Mr. Shields, it may pass. Mr. Rusk, however
manifests hostility to a combination of tlie Texan
question with any territorial or slavery question.
The apprehensions that some StHtee will withdraw
from the Union, or take hostile attitude to it, in
case California bo admitted without settling the
Texan question, are iuit unfounded. The Governor
of Georgia is obliged by law, upon the pusage of the
bill, to cull the legislature together to consult upou tlie
mode and measures of redress. Soutli Carolina will
certainly make some movement. The Texan question
will he hurried to ncrisis. Already we hnve people in
and out of Congress, talking of measures of force,
ns a matter of course, and already determined.
The President is to issue his Proclamation, a la
Washington in the whisky war, and Jackson in the
South Carolina war; to usk Congress for addition-
id means to suppress rebellion and insurrection; to
lise the whole army, and the militia anil volunteers
&e.. in subjecting the rebellions Stutes. A very
brilliant programme is already marked out for the
first campaign. General Scott hns been twice desig
nated by Mr. Clay, in his late speeches, as tlie galiunt
fenders of tlio armies of tlie Repuplie in this war ;
nud ho is, in tiffs character, [is has been already pro
posed. to be honored with tho rank conferred on
Washington, wlieu war with France was impending,
of Lieut. General.
The most moderate of tlie Southern union men nro
for war, but a war to be carried on within the Union
and under the Constitution—a war of legislative re
taliation upon Northern interests. Mr.Badger brought
forward to-day theplsn of tlie first campaign in that
war, wherein lie is to take the command, as Lieu
tenant General. A legislative warfare will soon end
in disunion nnd sectional war.

New Development in the Case of Prof. Webster
We have just learned of some facts which go far to
show the utter falsity of,Professor Webster’s coufoa
emu ns to thy disposition of Dr. Turkman's body, and
by which lie attempted to show his want of premed
itation in the killing. A student of the Medical Col
lege hns this morning, for the first time, disclosed
that at the time of the murder, while he was in tho
dissecting room eutry, lie distinctly heard sounds of
something being dragged over the stairs leading to
Professor Webster's lower laboratory—which he
lias no doubt were thus produced by tlie descent of
Dr. Turkman'* body. An examination of the sink in
tlie upper laboratory, described b™ Professor Web-
stor as the one he used fertile dismemberment of tho
body, demonstrate* it* positive incapacity for tlie
purpose, it being of very email size. Anil further
more, the hand-hose which Professor Webst'erepeaks
oi in his letter of explanation to the Council, as used
by him toconvey water to said sink, wns tin's morn
ing measured by officer O. II. Spurr; and found to bo
a couple of feet too short for tlmt object.—Boston

Northern Patriotism—The Joumnl of Com
merce nnd tlie Mouth.
At the rryie-u of several of our subscribers, we
publish to-day the entire article from the New York
Journal of Commerce, from which we made some ex
tracts yeHterduy. It is extremely gratifying to read
such sentiments iu behalf of the South and tlie jus
tice of her cause in a Northern journal, ranking as
tlie Journal of Commerce does, among tile ablest iu
tho country, ft is more than gratifying to reud such
emanations of u lofty patriotism from an editor who
dares to speak the truth iu tlie face of tlie rabid fanat
icism of tho North—in the midst ol tiiose who are
recklessly nnd malignantly* seeking to prostrate the
South tor tho gratification of their uuhidlowcd pre
judices und inordinate ambition.
We commend the general tenor of the Journal's
article to our readers, but more especially would we
hold it up to those editors at tlie Soutli whose dovo-
t ion to party and party men cuuscs them to shrink
from tho duty which tlio crisis imposes on them as
tlie orguus of the public sentiment of our people.—
Politicians, who aim to strengthen their positions as
available men, and editors who regard the unity of
the old national parties as paramount to every other
consideration, muy resort to specious arguments and
well dissembled subterfuge to deceive their political
ullies at the North, and to stiilu public opinion on
this question here at home, but their efforts will prove
unavailing. The fiery indignation of a wronged and
insulted people, that has been long slumbering, will
soon—is even now breuking forth in its fury, nnd will
sweep before it ull who have the temerity to otaud iu its
way. The rights, the interests, und tlie honor of the
South, have been used long enough as stakes in tlie
desperate game of politics. All hilt her honor hns
been hazarded nnd nearly lost—and tile time hns
come when tlie game must cease. The people have
taken tlie matter in hand and justice must be done f
The editor ot the Journal looks the question boldly
in the face, and us an honest, conscientious Ameri
can, denounces the wrong. He feels tlmt it is idlo as
bu6e for his section to rely upon its numerical supe
riority to coerce the South. He knows, as every sen
sible man should know, that in this age, and with
our race, it is useless to count upon submission to the
power of the Government, with which it lias become
the fashion of some to threaten us. He is aware that
the Union can never exist by sufferance on tlie part of
tlie South, and that whan it cease* to exist by choice
it is virtually dissolved.
With these convictions ho urges the Nortli to do
sint from its acts of aggression, and warns his North
ern brethren of the consequences which must in.
evitably result from a persistence in their course.
Ho lias favored tlie Compromise, but only on the
ground, that it might be made satisfactory to the
South. Had the Northern influence in Congress,
been actuated by the same high sense of justice and
right, the measure might have been so adjusted, nnd
the dark cloud that now obscures our political hori
zon, would, have been dissipated. Heaven grant that
it is not yet too late, and that a better spirit may yet
pervade the councils of tho nation witli whom rests
tho destiny of tiffs great and glorious Repubiic.

Senate. The California biff was taken up, tho
question being on the- amendment offered by Mr.
Foote, restricting tbo southern boundary to the lino
of 35° 3D".
Mr. Berrion spoke in favor of it. Californio must
be divided so as to afford tlie chance of a slave .State,
if wo wished to savo the Union.
Mr. Foote and Mr. Atchinsoii spoke iu favor ot tho
amendment.
Mr. Badger addressed the Senate at length on tho
state of tlie question between the North and the
South.
Mr. Jefferson Davir, moved 3G 30 ns the Southern
limit of California. Lost—ayes 23, nays 32.
Mr. Footo moved to strike out tlie whole bill after
the enacting clause, and inserting ill lieu therefor,
the omnibus, excepting California and Utah, witli
tlio amendment offered by Mr. Douglass as n sub
stitute for Air. Dawson's amendment. His object
was to present the territorial questions to the lfyuse
before California.
Mr. Rusk hoped the Senator would sec the propri
ety of withdrawing the amendment. The Texas
question was not necessarily connected with uny
other.
Mr Foote said it was necessary to fix a boundary
line or provide for its ascertainment. Texas was
not more concerned in the boundary adjustment
than any other State, except that she wns on tho
border.
Mr. Clemens said wo could not get a voto to-dny.
He moved an adjournment. Lost—1!) to 28.
Mr. Rusk would feel it his duty to vote against the
amendment. Ho wished the disturbing questions
settled as much ns any man, Tlio Texan boundary
had nothing to do witli tlie slavery question.—It wqs
simply a question whether tho territory oi'New Mexi
co was in tlio Texan limits or not.
Mr. Foote withdrew the amendment, stating that
he would off er it ia some other form, giving time for
consultation.
Mr. Hunter said we are all worn down. Wo had
better postpone the biff and adjourn to Monday. Ho
moved to postpone the bill till Monday. Agreed to.
It was ordered that when tlie Senute adjourn, it
adjourn to meet on Monday next.
Mr. Pearce rose to give notice that on Monday
next lie would ask leave to introduce a bill to estab
lish tlio territorial government of New Mexico, and
settle the boundaries of Texas.
