)Ir, Clemens’ Speech* and the Vermont Resolutions. \Ve have given in another column several ex tracts from the manly speech of Mr. -Ci.emens, Senator from Alabama, delivered on the 10th inst. before the Senate, on the motion to print the insulting Resolutions of the State- of Vermont, which we publish below. 31 r. C. takes the true ground that the South should at once unite in opposition lo Northern encroach ments, and judge them by their acts rather than their professions. Most of our readers are fa miliar with the rapid progress which has been made by the Abolitionists— -A 4 not Abolitionists, hut anti-slavery men” as they say—within the last fifteen years, when they commenced agita ting the question of“thc dear right of petition.” Now they have become powerful enough to de lay the election of Speaker, and other business of the House, some six weeks and more ; and threaten to carry out their wicked designs. Still the song of peace, “no danger,” is heard at the South, whose institutions are to be sapped to their foundation and eventually overthrown by the schemes of these Northern fanatics. We repeat it is right for the people of the South to sec who are their friends at this time, believing as wc do, that those who arc ashamed to profess friendship now, will bo afraid to stand by the South at the approaching crisis. We hope our Legislature will follow the noble example ofoid republican Virginia,and send these insulting Re solutions back to the frigid region from whence they originated. Notwithstanding they are in accordance with public sentiment at the North, it becomes us to see that their views shall not be carried out, let the consequences be what they may. If the spirit of these Resolutions is sustained we may expect that slaves transported from one port to another w ill be captured and taken to non-slavcholding States and liberated, merely because they were found upon “the big!) seas and wherever else Congress lias jurisdic tion.” Could cupidity or villainy dictate great er injustice? But we leave the reader to judgo of the merits of these Vermont Resolutions, by publishing them entire, as follows : 44 Resolved by the Senate, and House of Represen tatives, That slavery isacrime against humanity and a sore evil in the body politic, that was ex cused by the framers of the federal constitution as a crime entailed upon the country by their predecessors, and tolerated solely as a thing of inexorable necessity. Resolved , That the so-called “ compromise of the constitution” restrained the federal govern ent from interference with slavery only in the States in which it then existed, and from inter ference in the slave trade only for a limited time, which has long since expired; and that the pow ers conferred upon Congress by the constitution to suppress the slave trade, to regulate com merce between the States, to govern the territo ries, and to admit new States—powers conferred with an express intention “ to form a more per fect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the bles sings of liberty to ourselvesaud our posterity”— may all rightfully be used as to prevent the ex tension of slavery into territory now free, and to abolish slavery and the slave trade wherever either exists under the jurisdiction of Congress. Resolved, That our Senators and Representa tives in Congress be requested to resist by all and every constitutional means the extension of slavery in any manner, whether by the annexa tion to slaveholding Texas of territory now free, or by the admission into the Union of territory already acquired, or which may be hereafter ac quired, without any express prohibition of slave ry, either in the constitution of each new State asking admission, or in the act of Congress pro viding for such admission. Resolved further, That our Senators and Rep resentatives in Congress be requested to sup port every just and prudent measure for the ex clusion of slavery from the District of Columbia; for the entire suppression of the slave trade on the high seas, and wherever else Congress has jurisdiction; and generally to relieve the feder al government from all responsibility for the ex istence, maintenance, or tolerance of slavery, or the traffic in slaves. Resolved further, That our Senators in Con gress he instructed, and our Representatives ha requested, to use their exertions for the speedy organization of teritorial governments for New Mexico and California, with a provision forever excluding involuntary servitude, except for crime therefrom. Resolved, That the Govenor bo requested to furnish a copy of the foregoing resolutions lo each of our Senators and Representatives in Congress, and to the Govdrnoi of each State in the Union. Approved, November 12, 1849. The Hungarian Exii.f.s. — The Globe states that on the 14th instant the ex-Governo r of Comorn, Lauislaus Ujhazv, and five or six other distinguished Hungarians, who have pre ferred exile and alI its bitterness to slavery at home, arrived in Washington from Baltimore, and took lodgings at the Irving Hotel. Next day, attended by the Mayor and Major Tochman, they called on the Secretary of State, by whom they were received in the most cordial manner. They then visited the President, accompanied by the Mayor, who introduced them, and they were received by the Chief Magistrate of the nation with “the greatest kindness,” says the National Intelligencer, “and with his character istic frankness and unaffectedness.” Governor Ejhazy delivered an address to the President in the Hungarian tongue, which was read in En l gtish by Dr. Kraitzer General Taylor replied I to the address. There has been a bill introdu f ced before Congress appropriating a homestead °n the public lands for all exiles from foreign lands who seek refuge here. These Hungarians I have given notice that they wish to become citi j tens of the United States.

Mr. loote’s Bit!..—The bill which Mr. toTE has given notice of an intention to intro duce, for the organization of governments for the new territories, makes a division into four ter ritories, under the names of California. Deseret, New Mexico, and Jacinto. The northern, southern, and western boundaries of California, are described in this hill as at present. The Eastern boundary is to he the 116th degree of west longitude. The remainder of the present territory ofCalifornia, is assigned to the territory ofDeseret. New Mexico is to comprise all the territory of the United States, acquired by the treaty of peace, &c., as recited in the former descriptions, not included within the bounda ries of Texas. A rather indefinite dcseiption, considering that the boundaries of Texas are by no means satisfactorily defined. It was probably the intention of Mr. Foot*, however, to concede to Texas the boundary of the Rio Grande. Ja cinto is to include that portion of the territory of Texas lying between the Brazos river and the Sabine, (the western boundary of Louisiana,) having the Arkansas boundary on the North. The bill of Sir. Foote docs not touch the sub ject of slavery in these new territories, or the right of slaveholders to carry thither their pecu liar property and institutions. Pußi.tc Meeting —A large meeting of the citizens of Washington county, composed of Whigs and Democrats, took place at Sanders ville on theßth inst. The following Resolutions were adopted, in addition to one approving of the proposed Southern Convention at Nashville in June next: Resolved, That we regard the Wilinol Proviso as wholly unconstitutional in principle, aggres sive in its aim and directly insulting to the South ; and rather than submit to its application to any territory now acquired or hereafter to be acquired South of the Missouri Compromise, we are for immediate dissolution of the Union. Resolved. That any attempt to interfere with slavery in the District of Columbia—the admis sion ofCalifornia under her anti-slavery consti tution, or any future interference on the part of the non-slaveholding States, between the South ern master and his fugitive slave—will be the signal for action on the part of the South; and that then, we hope to see her rise in the majesty of her strength, throw oft" a government no longer a blessing to her, and thus bid a proud defiance to her would be oppressors. Resolved, That we view this subject as a mighty torrent, rising high above all party, and bearing on its surface the destinies of our proud Republic ; we therefore do not come to its con sideration in the frenzied spirit of partisan ran cor, hut as a portion of the citizens of the Union and sons of the South, and in the foregoing Res olutions we have expressed to the world the re sult of our most serious deliberations, and essay ed to suggest to our mistaken brethren of the North, the only course that can now save the Union. The Virginia Legislature. —An exciting debate,in volving the question of Southern Rights took place in the Virginia House of Delegates on the 14ill inst. The Resolutions of the Vermont Legislature, iu reference to slavery, having been communicated to the Governor of Virginia, and hv him to the Legislature, they were disposed of by the unanimous adoption of the following Resolution : “ Resolved by the General .Issembly of Virginia, That the Resolutions of the State of Vermont he returned to the Governor of this Commonwealth, with a request that they he returned to the Gov ernor of Vermont ; and that the Governor of Vermont he informed that the Legislature of Virginia understand their constitutional rights and mean to maintain them.” The Committee on the subject of the Wilmot Proviso, Nashville Convention, &.c. made a re port, with this preamble: “Whereas, the action oftlie General Assembly, in 1847 and 1849, upon the “Wilmot Proviso, and kindred subjects, “ confirmed by the calm approval of the people of Virginia, and sustained by t. o concurrent action of other Southern States, has received no other response from the people of the Northern States than violent de nunciation, and a sympathetic perseverance of the wrongs of which we complained.” The first Resolution then re-affirms the Reso. lutions heretofore passed by the Legislature. The 2d approves of the Southern Convention; and proposes to send four Delegates from the State at large to the aforesaid Convention, and also recommends the choice next spring, by the people, of a delegate from each Congressional District. The 3d Resolution provides fir the payment of the expenses of the four Delegates from the State Treasury. The 4th asks leave for the Committee to sit again, that they may prepare an address to the people of Virginia. The report of the Committee was made the order of the day for Thursday last.

Dr. Franklin.— lt is related of Dr. Frank lin, that once while in France lie had a dispute with a nobleman upon the question whether the majority ought to rule in State affairs, or whether the educated and well informed few should govern. The nobleman advocated the latter proposition, and Dr. Franklin defended the former. After some debate, the nobleman pro posed to let tho matter be decided by the compa ny present and being surrounded by his own friends, they all rose at once on his side and left the doctor alone. “Well” said ho, “accord ing to your own principles, I have gained my cause; you represent the ignorant majority, and I, the wise minority, decide that you are wrong and must yield." Good —Punch suggests that in compliment to Gen. llavnau, the word “heinoiisncss” should he in future spelled “hmjnausncss Correspondence Southern Tribune. Milledgeville, Jan. 24. Mr. 11 arrison. — We have since my last, had some exciting scenes in the House. The Sena torial District Bill was called up on the 18th, and gave rise, as it was of course expected to do, to some angry discussion. I say discussion, though some of the Whig prints have had the hardihood to assort that with iron rod the major ity power was laid on, and all sorts of tyranny inllictcd through the agency of the previous question. The facts are as 1 give them and you may rely upon it as the truth of history. I must first premise that a simple Resolution had been passed some days previous that two-thirds should be necessary to call up an)’ bill out of its order• When therefore the Senatorial Bill was called up, Mr. Gartrell made the point, that this was a Rule of the House and could not be repealed but by a vote of two-thirds. Pending the dis cussion of this poins Mr. Nisbet, of your city, appealed to Sir. Jenkins, who as ex-speaker, is certainly good authority, who without hesitancy declared that before a Rule could be considered a Standing Rule of the House, the preamble of enactment or the body of the Resolution must state that this is to be regarded as one of the Standing Rules of the House. As this was not done, then it followed a bare majority was com petent to rescind this as any other simple matter and on the vote of appeal from the decision of the chair the vote stood yeas 81, nays 30. This then looks very little like the partiality and fa voritism of the Speaker, which has so recklessly been charged. But I started to give you the his tory of this affair, which is to supply so much party ammunition to all sides. Upon the vote to suspend the Rule it stood yeas 63, nays 32. Then began the war in earnest, when every mis sile, big and little, fair and foul, began to flv. Mr. McDougaid moved, quite early, an adjourn ment, yeas 50, nays 65. Right on the heel of this vote, Mr. Nisbet moved a further postpone ment of the bill. Then before the vote on this move, Mr. Ramsay moved an adjournment.— The Chair ruled the motion of Mr. R. out of order, as a motion was then pending—Ramsav appealed from the decision of the Chair and the yeas and uays were called, yens 61, nays 54. Now see how fairly the Whigs were disposed to act. Just as soon as this vote was announced Mr. Ramsay again moved an adjournment, yeas 56, nayss4. Then it was that Mr. Nelson, see ing the factious and illiberal spirit of the oppo sition, moved the previous question. Before this vote was tukon Mr. Kenan, of Baldwin, with all the mock dignity of one affecting the sense of wrong and injury, called on his backers to walk off with him, and strange to say, all but sixteen of his party of the House could see no thing indecent, nothing unlawful, or nothin* unconscientious in this movement. And stiff more astonishing than all, this very gentleman, in 1843, in the Senate, when the Whig hill of abominations passed, was the very man that moved the previous question and slapped on the gag, and so grievously did the Democrats feel he mselves oppressed by this bow-string inove mentofthc gentleman, that Mr. Hunter spread a protest on the records of the country, by which future generations may see that the majority (a large and available one at all times,) refused to listen to remonstrance or discussion, in this House also the previous question was moved by a Mr. Allen. But I will proceed with the jour nals. On the 19th, Mr. Jenkins moved to re consider so much of the Journals as referred to this bill. It is within the certain knowledge of your correspondent, that a gentleman of the highest respectability of the Democratic party was on the point of making this very motion, had he not been anticipated by Mr. J. The whole matter was then discussed by Messrs. Jenkins, Gartrell, Nisbet, Kenan, wliigs; and by Messrs. Nelson and Wiggins, democrats. Now it has been stated by- whig papers, that tiie wliigs were gagged down when history and truth prove that a whole day was spent in the discussion and reconsideration of this hill. But what discussion did it want, the bill was printed and in every ones’ hands weeks and weeks, be fore the vote. If the wliigs find this a hitter cup they spiced and drugged it themselves— fortune has commended it to their own lips.— But see how unreasonable the complaints oftlie press. The present bill gives the dorininant par ty six districts certain—five doubtful. And among these fiv e doubtful districts, four of them at the last Congressional election gave whig majorities. So really the present hill docs not make the prospect for the democratic partyany better than their present position. With apo/»- ular vole in their favor about what the demo crats now have, the wliigs legislated for a ma jority of fifteen. If they lost this majority, it was the recoil of their own gun which they had or reloaded, that prostrated them. So no thanks. I have dwelt thus long in this matter, because there has been great prominence given to it and much unfairness attempted. The Douse has been three days discussing a tax bill for the Georgia Rail Road and it is vet undecided. The order for to-morrow, was our Report and Resolutions on the State of the Re public —but now we do not know when they wii'l bo reached. 1 send you the last Report of the Committee on the State of the Republic, very unanimously agreed on in Committee. You will see how important these Resolutions are. We arc on the right tack now—only pray for a good pilot and a brisk breeze. • The Joint Committee on the State of the Re public to whom were referred certain Resolu tions of the members of tho Legislature of the State of South Carolina, and other Resolutions introduced in the House of Representatives of this General Assembly, relative to a proposed Convention of the people of the Slave.holding States, recommend the adoption of the follow ing resolutions: licsolrcd, That this General Assembly regard most favorably the recommendation, emanating from the people of Mississippi, that the people of the Slave-holding States meet in Convention at Nashville, on the first Monday in June next, eminently conducive to harmonious and efficient action among them in defence of tho Institution of Slavery, and all the rights incident thereto, guaranteed by the letter and by the spirit of the Constitution. Rosolred, That for the purpose of securing to the State of Georgia a representation in said Convention, we recommend to the people of the several counties, to assemble at their respective county sites, on the first Tuesday in April next, and appoint delegates to a Convention to be held in Milledgeville on the first Monday in May next; each county having two representatives in the popular branch oftlie Legislature to send four, and each other county two delegates. Resolved , That the delegates so oppointed, be empowered in General Session, to appoint four delegates to said Nashville Convention, for the State at large ; and in separate Sessions of the delegates coming from each Congressional Dis trict, two delegates to said Nashville Conven tion for such district. Risolved. That the names of the district dele gates to the Nashville Convention so appointed be reported to the said General Convention in Milledgeville, and that thereupon a certificate or certificates, as well of the appointment of the district as of the State delegates to Nashville, signed by the Prcsideut and Secretary, he issued as their credentials. Resolved, That in the selections of delegates to the Con vention, wo would recommend that the same be done by the election of an equal number from each political party in the several counties in this State. Resolved, That bis Excellency, the Governor, be requsted to forward a copy of these Resolu tions to the Eexceutive of each Slave-holding State, to be laid before the Legislature of sucji State. Message of Gov. Thomas, of Marj-lauil, on Slave Abductions, &c. We invite the attention of our readers to the facts disclosed in the Message of Gov. Thomas, to the Maryland Legislature, a copy of which will be found below. Docs this action of New York and Pennsylvania savor of anything but rank injustice to the South ? We arc glad to see that a Resolution in accordance with the views of the Governor was forthwith passed by the House of Delegates of the State of Maryland. State Department, Annapolis, Md. 1 January 11. 1850. A To the House of Delegates: 1 herewith transmit the accompanying papers having reference to two several cases, arising un der the constitution of the United States, and the act of Congress, approved on the twelfth of February, seventeen hundred and ninety-three, in relation to the recapture of fugitives from ser vice and labor. From the first of these papers it will be per. ceived that a negro man, named Joseph Belt, the slave of John Lee, Esq., a citizen of Fred erick county, who had previously absconded from tiie service of his master, was arrested in the city of New Y r ork, on or about the 20th day of December, 1848, and immediately thereafter, and before his removal to this State, was taken from the custody and possession of Mr. Lee, under and by authority of a writ of habeas cor pus, issued by one of the justices of the Su prerne Court of the State of New’ \ r oik. It will further appear that, at the bearing of the case, although the property, in the slave, was clearly established by the confessions of the negro him self, and by the testimony of competent wit nesses, proof was required by the court to be resented that slavery was authorized by the laws of Maryland; and, although the evidence of that fact was supplied both by the oral testi mony of witnesses and by the production of the printed statues of the State, such us are read in our own courts, that the evidence was rejcc. ted, and the respondent was held to furnish, as the only legal and admissible evidence, a copy of the law itself, under the certificate of the Governor and seal of the State. Such evidence not being at hand, the slave was forthwith dis charged, and his ow ner, under color of law, de prived of his property in manifest violation of the Constitution of the United States and the ant of Congress above refered to. This extra ordinary decision, in derogation as it is of the plain meaning and intendment of the constitu tion, and designed, as it doubtless was, to inter pose greater difficulties in the way oftlie recap ture of fugitive slaves, than had previously ex isted, vviii, nevertheless, as long as it remains unreversed, be considered authority in the State of New York, and it is of the greatest impor tance to the people of Mary land that tneasarcs should be taken to test its constitutionality. It is, therefore, respectfully suggested that a resolution be passed directing the attorney gen eral, at the cost of this State, to carry the case, by writ of error or otherwise, to the Supreme Court of the United States, in order that the sub ject may be examined by that tribunal, and the decision reversed. The other papers consist of a communication from a citizen of Virgiria, of high character, ac. compained with affidavits setting forth that a cer tain Jonathan Little, of Washington county, in this State, is now in confinement in the jail of lluntigndon county, in the State of Pennsylva nia, awaiting his trial upon an indicetmcnt for kidnapping a negro. The facts, as stated, arc that Jonathan Little, together with two other persons,arrested, in that county, a fugitive slave named Jacob Tenley, the property of Elizabeth McClean, of Frcderic.k_county. and wbiJein-the act of conveying him to his owner, the slave was rescued from their hands and set at liberty.— That, sometime afterwards, Jonathan Little re. turned to Huntingdon county, was arrested and imprisoned in jail ofthatcounty, in a narrow cell, heavily ironed, & treated in all rcsner.una » felon It is further stated that the trial of Little was continued from the last term of the court of that county, notwithstanding his w itness were all in a.tendance, until the January term, which will take place iu a few weeks from this time; that Little is a poor man, and unable to employ coun sel to defend him. Jt is therefore, suggested in those papers that it is the duty of the State of >1 aryland to provide him with cousel, in order that ho may be properly defended. These cases present two instances, out of the very many others, to show the obstacles that arc constantly interposed to prevent the re-cap ture of absconding slaves, not only by the popu lace, but by the judical tribunals. The whole subject is respectfully submitted for your consideration and action. PHILIP F. THOMAS.

Ray, Editor Georgia Telegraph : Dkaii Sik :—While so many certificates of individuals living off at great distances nre ap pealing in the papers commendatory of Bal sams, Syrups, Pills and Powders, I think it but right that medical research and superior success of tome of our practitioners at home should be made known to our community, that those of our neighborhood who are alllicted may not on' ly save their health but their money also, and at llie same time encourage the efforts of those who would give character and cnnseqnenco to thid section of the Uniou. 1 have been led to these remarks by the teachings of my own experi ence : About seven years ago 1 was attacked with «• disease of the liver and lungs, accompanied with haemorrhage or spitting of blood, with severe and most barrassing and distressing cough,cold' sweats of nights, with a wasting diarrhmr, and a great part of the time confined to my bed, and so debilitated generally, that l could do but lit tle in tlio way of business 1 thus continued for over five years, making every effort during that time to regain my health. I first applied tor tiiepliyscians ofSavannnh, where I their resided, but their efforts failed to relieve me. I then tried Houck's Panacea for a long time—then Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry, Sec., till 1 had spent hundreds of dollars in their purchase, and still found myself as bad off as before. 1 then applied to your townsman, Dr. M. 8. Thomson, who 1 am happy to say, after treating my case some 6 or 7 months, restored me to sound, and I believe to permanent health, for I am now and have been for the last 18 months in the enjoy ment of uninterrupted health. This is my ex. perience, and I doubt not you will agree with me in the opinion, that I have good reasons for recommending the Doctor and his remedies in eases of this kind, far above the most eminent physicians whose skill 1 had tested, and the far famed and much boasted balsams and panaceas with which I had been dosed. Let others do likewise, if they would be cured, and that they may not perish for lack of knowledge, I here by request that you will give publicity to my statement in your widely circulating sheet, and much oblige yours, respectfuffy, JOHN H. SMITH. The following letters arc given, not so much on account of the facts they contain, though they are important, as to give an idea or specimen of many of tlio same kind that are borne to the subscriber by almost every Mai! from the North, South, East and West.

To look at his situation eight months back, and to look a’ffiim now, it seems almost as one risen from the dead. 1 say to you, there is no more healthy looking youth in all this county, indeed his whole sys tem is regular and easy. God knows how long he will remain so, but I hope he will to the end of life. He has not taken any medicine for the last four months, yet he is thirty pounds heaver than before that time. 1 had applied to Physi cians, of both the Mineral and Botanic Schools, of eminent genera! qualifications, but aii to no benefit, but tlnmks to God, and gratitude to you for his restoration. My feelings are indeed un. speakable. BENJAMIN JONES. IVm. IV. IVallcer's t.etler. Waiithf.k’s Stohe, Washington Cos. > January 2, 1850. y Dr. M. S.

I now can enjoy my self with my family, my neighbors and even myself; this world looks bright, and I feel hap py in the anticipation of the future. lam en tirely free from almost every symptom of the disease with which I have been afilicted.
