Journal of Commerce.) 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 i the five years ?

But for this 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. ©AVAsm&iiro 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.

We loam that unuther boat will take her place, and continue on tho route until tlie fYm. Gaston is repuired. 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.

CongrcNNiaiinl Proceefflags. Washington., August 2, 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.
