S. T .CHAPMAN A- S.llOSE.Eilito”*
The Comyrowlte in Illinoi*.
The reader will be pkawd to are the action ot Illi
nois, on the series of resolutions on this subject, otfered
by Mr. Richmond in the Senate, and the additional
resolution presented by .Mr. Gillespie-
It will be seen that the action of Congress and the ad
ministration on the slavery question has been sustained
by the legislature of Illinois by large majorities in the
Senate. Indeed, the resolution offered by Mr. Gilles
pie, in which the Senate pledged itself t> sustain the
manly course of the President in carrying into effect
the compromise laws, was adopted with but a solitary
negative:
“ Resolved by the Senate and House of Rtprtsen
taticesof the general assembly of Illinois, That the
constitution of the United States was the result of
compromise, and could not have been formed without
concessions made by the different States represented in
the convention of liß7, and under which this confed
eracy of sovereign States was brought together, and
consummated as a union for certain general and limited
purposes: and that the federal government, as a conse
quence of the constitution, is one ol limited power,
derived exclusively from that instrument, and, in order
to its preservation, all the grants of power therein con
tained should be strictly construed by all the deput
ments and agents cf the general g vernmeut so const,i :-
ted; and that all the concessions and compromises
therein contained should be faithfully observed and
maintained by alt sections of our common country ; and
that it isat all times dangerous and inexpedient toexer
cise doubtful constitutional powers, nniessthe necessities
and exigencies of the nnuon should manifestly sur
mount qestuionsof duubt and expediency.”
Adopted—23 yeas; 2 nays—. Messrs. Talcott nnd
Plato.
“ Resulted, That the institution of slavery was one
of the principal subjects of compromise embraced in
the constitution; and this general assembly, without
eomimiuno itself upon the question of constitutional
power of Congress to legislate upon the subject ol
slavery in the Territories of the United States, deem
the exercise of such powers unnecessary and inexpedi
ent, because the exercise of the same is calculated to
impair the happiness of” the people, and to endanger
the perpetuity of our gloriou Un-on.”
Adopted—ts yeas; 4 nays—Messrs. Judd, Plato,
Reddick, and Talcott.
” Resolved, That, regarding the constitution of the
United States as not conflicting with the Divine law an
revealed to us, we, as citizens of the American Union,
know no higher law than the constitution of our
souutry ; and that, as mrafersuf the general assembly
of Illinois, where we take our oath to suppoit the c>i -
aiitution of the United States, we do not consider that
we make any mental reservations touching the require
ments of duty imposed by that instrument.”
Adopted—23 yeus ; 2 nays—. Messrs. Plato and
Talcott.
“ Therefore, be it resolved by the Senate and
House of Representatives of the general assembly
of Illinois, That all laws passed by the Congress of
the United States, under and in pursuance of the c- n-
Mitution, should be supported, upheld, and obeyed by
all the citizens of this and of every other Siate and
Territory in the Union.”
Adopted unanimously.
“ Resolved, That the controversy upon the subject
of slavery between the slave Holding and non slave
holding States of ike Union, and the distractions,
jealousies, and destruction of ti;e mutual confidence
among the several States arising tiiereiroin. should be
deprecated by every good citizen and lover 4 fife
country in the North, South, East, end West, as having
the inevitable teu lency of loosening tne bonds ol the
Union, and threatening to pr.vstr.ite the noblest fabric
of civil and religious liberty that the world ever saw.”
Adopted—22 yeas; 3 nays—M-ssrs. Judd, Plato,
and Talcott.
“ Resolved, That the system of adjustment or com
promise, passed during the last session ol Congress
comprising the admission oi California, the establish
ment of territorial governments for Utah and New
Mexico, without the Wihnot Proviso, so called, the
settlement of the boundary line between Texas and
New Mexico, the suppression of the slave trade in the
District of Columbia, and the amendment to the act of
1793 for the recovery of fug.tive slaves, is eminently
calculated to remove the controversy, and to restore
peace, quietude, and confidence between the different
sections of enr beloved country, and meets with the
hearty coucoirtnoe and approval ot tr.is general as
sembly.”
Adopted—2o yeas; 5 mys—Messrs. Judd, Plato,
Reddick, Talcott, and Wood.
“ Resolved, Tint our Senators be instructed, and
our representatives in the Congress of the U. States be
requested, to use all their energies, and to employ their
best abilities and influence,in resistance to any ami to
ail attempts that may be made to disturb or unsettle,
either by repeal or modification, any of the measur s
embraced in that system of adjustment or corn promise.”
Adopted—2o yeas; 5 nays—Messrs. Judd, Plato,
Reddick, Talcott,and Wood.
“ Resolved, That any resolutions passed by any
previous general assembly in conflict with the. fore
going, and especially those adopted during the first
oraii'ii ol the last general assembly,known as the W ti
met Proviso resolutions of instructions, be, and the
aante are hereby, rescinded.”
Adopted—ld yeas; 7 nays—Messrs. Gridley, Judd,
Matteson, Piau>, Reddick, Talcott and Wood.
“ Resolved, That we approve ot the manly nnd
patriotic stand taken by the executive of the United
titates, in evincing his determination to execute and
entorcef.il laws constitutionally enacted,and that the
people ot the State of Illinois will cheerfully sustain
nun in so doing.” *
Adopted—24 yeas; 1 nay—Mr. Judd.
“ Resolved, That his excellency the governor ot this
State be requested to transmit a copy • t tne foregoing
resolutions toeachof ourSetiatorsand Representatives,
with the request titat a copy thereof be presented to
•ach house of Congress, and that he transmit a copy :o
■each of the executives ot the several States, with tlw
request that they lay them before their legislatures, thir
the position ol” Illinois, a? lar as it can be defined by hi
(General Assembly, may be understood by other Stan sc
the Union.
Adopted—22 nays; 3 nays—Messrs. Judd, P:at ,
nd Talcott.
Another Fugitive Restored.
Tke Baltimore correspondent ot the Washington
Union, writing on ihe 25th ulc., says :
“Another fugitive slave case was on trial at Phila- ,
delpitia yesterday, before Commissioner Ingraham
The man is named Stephen Benr.eit, charged with be
ing a fugitive from the service of Edward B. Gallup, <
Baltimore. He was arrested in Columbia, Pa., oi. j
Thursday, about 3 o’clock, by officer Conner, of Lan- ,
caster, while at work sawing wood in the street, upon }
a warrant issued the 22d inst. by the marshal. He is ■
a large, able-bodied man,about 35 years of age. The
case was taken on a writ of habeas corpus before Judge
Kane, who proceeded to the examination of the testi
mony. The counsel for the slate were David Paul
Brown, W. S. Pierce, and Edward Evans, and there
was also a number of members of the Pennsylvania
Abolition Society present, taking part in the a- fence.
The testimony, however, was<>f the most decided char
aster, some of the witnesses having known hint as a
boy, and were present when Captain Gallup bought :
him at a public sale fifteen years ago. He fiad a so,
after his arrest, confessed that he was a slave, and that
he liked his master, but had run away because he fear
ed that he would sell him. He had gone by the name
of Bill Baker at Columbia, where he had been lor about
three years.
“ Judge Kane, after the quite lengthy arguments, de
cided that the master had proved his property, and or
dered that he be given up to his custody, and autiiori
zad his removal to Baltimore. There was no excite
ment manifested, nor any disposition to interlere wuh
the execution of the law. The slave was brought to
this city this morning.
Fugitive Slave Arrested. — A ugitive slave was
brought before Commissioner McAllister on yesterday,
and remanded to his owners. He was one of ihe patty
that left with the negroes that Mr. Taylor arrested here
in August last. He was perfectly satisfied to go back ;
• ■aid before the Commissioner that lie did not know he
waa running away when he left; tiiat Ins a.-sociatcs in
vited him ta a wedding up the country, but he ucconipn
■icd them to Pennsylvania. He said he was satisfied
with his experience in Pennsylvania, and woud have
gone back before,if he bad known the way, and could
nave returnedconven ently. —Harrisburg U ion.
The Right Snarr.—Gov. Metcalf, of Kentucky, in
a latter to Senator Foote, utters the following noble
•eniiments, which will meet with a hearty response in
•ur own cherished State:
“ I, and I think I might say tee will soon support
auck men as Clay and v\ . bster, Cass and Dickinson,
Foote and Doug!a-s, Dallas, Buchanan, and a host of
great and good men, who in the North and the South,
are struggling tor the Constitution and the Union as it
waa, as it is, and as it will be, I trust, forever.”
A Revolution.*.av Soldier Gone.— Died, at his
plantation in Madison county, (where he had resided
about 66 years,) on the morning of the 25th December,
I£so, in the 95th year oi his age, Janes Pitman, a na
tive Georgian.
He was a soldier of the revolution; a member of
the Convention in 1798, which framed the Constitution
of Geogia ; before and after that a member of the Le
gislature. In tiie private relations, as husband, parent
and friend, he was affectionate, sincere and undissem
bling—as a master indulgent—and in all his transac
tions in life and intercourse with men, was scrupulous
ly exact, upright and honest; and as honesty is one ot
the most splendid and substantial virtues that orna
ment the character of man, we conceive in the fullness
of our feelings a brighter tribute of respect to the mem
ory of our departed tnend. He met death with a4con
fident hope of a happy immortality, in a full assurance
of the enjoyment of those blessings that emanate from
fbu peacelul presence of a dear Redeemer.— Athens

ARRIVAL OF THE FLORIDA.
The following telegraphic despatch reached us yes
terday at 11 o’clock, a. dated Savannah, 10 o’clock
55 minutes:
The Florida arrived early this morning—fifty-eight
hours toTybee. Forty passengers—good freight—no
news. N"-thing further of the wrecked steamer.
To our Patrons.
lufeonseqaenceof the rapid and continued increase of
our advertising patronage, we find it will be necessary
io increase the size of our jiaper. To do this we wiil be
compelled to purchase new type, and anew- and im
proved power press. This wiil require a large amoun 1
of money. If the friends and patrousof the Journal 6f
Messenger wish to see it made one of the largest, the
neatest and the best papers in the South, they can easily
be gratified. If every man who owes us a dollar will
forthwith remit it, together with the name of anew
ea*-h subscrdier, we will pledge our-dvesso ty arrange
the pajyer as to give them weekly three times as much
reading matter as at present.
Call and See Them,
Mr. Loomis’ splendid Panorama of Cuba will be
ojiened at Concert Hail about Thursday or Friday night.
It is highly spoken of, and wiil no doubt attract large
houses. Those who are fond of brimstone and blood
can also be grntifiea by dropping in at Dempsey’s Long
Room, where they can fight overall the battles of the
Revolution, at the moderate price of 25 cents.
The Steamship Atlantic*
A telegraphic despatch from the office of theChnrlef
ron Courier, dated Feb. 2d. says: ** The Captain of
the snip Tarquin reports having seen a large American
steamer without bowsprit,under sail,steering for the
Western Islands. The Atlantic bad no bow-spiit, and
was probably the vessel seen.
Sentenced to be Ilaug.
Brixckey Bishop, who was convicted during the re
cent session of Bibb Superior Court, of the murder of
Turner -Smith, was on Friday last brought before Judge
Stark and sentenced to be hung on the 28th day of
March.
Corn Mills Wanted.
We notice that Mr- Levy advertises anew and im
proved Corn Mill, which is said to be the best ever of
fered in the Southern States. We are glad to learn
this fact, and hope that Mr. Lew, or some other enter
prising gentleman, will put one or more ol these tniils
in operation, and that thp present Council will not drive
them out oi the corporate limits by excessive taxation.
The last Council,to save a few dollars to the treasury,
refused to place the proprietor of the S-eain Mill on a
Exiting with the ordinary pedlers of meal. The con
sequence was, the mill was stopped, meal advanced in
price, and the citizens have been the suffereis, to a large
amount.
The Cherokee Probably Lost.
, A vessel arrived at Savannah,on Sunday last, which
i passed on Thursday, oil Cape llatteras, the hull of a
! steamer recently blown up. Fragments of the wreck,
| chairs, tables, Ac., were floating in every direction
j The Captain could get no clue to the name of the ves
| sel, as the hull was fast settling down, and no name
j could be seen. The furniture was fine and costly.
Fears are expressed by the Savannah Republican that
it may have been the Cherokee, which sailed from Is'.
York fer Charges on Tuesday, and would, therefore,
•be due off Hatteras oa V\ ednesday night. It might,
however, have been one of the other Chagressteamers,
several of which are known to be now out at sea.
Death of WiilkHn T. Atkins.
We regret exceedingly to anonounce the death rj
Mr. William T. Atkins, ot this city, agpd 27 years.—
He expired ol Chronic Diarrhoea,at San Jose, Califor
nia,on the 2nd thy<*f December last. We have been
kindly favored with the tiernsal of a letter Irom Mr.
: Troutman, his intimate friend, who was present at his
’ death : and lrom which, we learn that .Mr. A. suffered
| ’
j greatly during the voyage to Chagres, as well as upon
; the Facitic and the trip across the Isthmus—that
|after his arrival at San Francisco, his constitution
never entirely recovered from the shock. llis in
domitable energy enabled him occasionally to ral
ly and to attend to business lor a few davs; but the
progress ol the disease was steady, and its type fixed.
He was at lust persuaded to try the climate of San
J<.se, a healthy location, about sixty miles in the inte
rior. Neither change of air, nor the best medical aid,
however availed, except to hasten the hour of dissolu
tion. Mr. [Atkins had grownup in this community,
and was weil known and highly esteemed for his integ
rity of character and fine business habits. Young,en
terprising, ambitious, he has fallen a martyr to the ad
venturous spirit ot the age, and left a large circle ol
friends to mourn his untimely fate.
New Post Route.
We notice by the Congressional Globe of the 21st
ult., that on the day previously, Mr. Wellborn present
’ nl in the House of Representative the petition of L
| B. Cuusy, and 95 other person, prayflig “ the establish
ment ol a post route from Dr. Swinney’s, on the stage
line leading from Macon to Lumpkin, to Sterkville, on
I the stage route leading from Macon to Bainbridge, by
way ol Starkviile,” and the establishment of three post
offices on said route.
We are most happy to find that -Mr. Wellborn has
moved in this matter and trust he will press the appli
cation in question. The route applied lor is very great
ly needed, and the number of petitioners could have
been very greatly increased if necessary.
St. Louis Statistics.
By the census returns just taken, we learn that the
lollowing facts have been ascertained, viz: Free per
sons, 74.549 ; slaves, 2,616; total, 77,465. Os these,
there are 23,774 natives of Germany, 11,257 of Ireland,
2,033 of England, and 2,450 of all <>ilr foreign coun
tries—making a grand total of 40,414 adopted citizens,
and only 37,051 natives.
There are in ‘.lie city 15 public schools, containing
2,374 pupils—l 4 common 5ch0015,2,847 pupils—9 Cath
olic schools and two Convents, with 1,356 pupils—l
Catholic College, with 250 students—2 Medical Col
leges, with 262 students. There are 49 Churches,con

Tiie New Orleans Bulletin, from which we con
dense the above,says: “The Roman Catholic popu
lation is much more numerous than is indicated by the
-number of seats in the Roman Catholic churches, os a
very large portion of that denomination worship in the
aisles and vestibules, ond an average of three several
congregations assemble at each church, atihe different
hours of the several masses on Sunday morning.
, “We can adJ, from the representations ol the St.
Louis press, and other reliable authorities, that the em
igrant population of St. Louis constitutes one of the
principal sources of its wealth and prosperity. They
have added millions to the value ol its real estate, im
mensely increase the aggregate of the annual returns
ol its productive industry, and created an important
‘market lor the productions of (he soil, and the waresof
the mechanic and the merchant.”

A New Case of Proscription.
| Oar cotemporary of the Athens llerald complains
bitterly that the Post Master General has given the
’ Post Office advertisement to the Athens Banner. He
publishes, a ietter from Senator Berrien, shewing tha\
that distinguisued personage had used all due diligence
|to procure the desired jorum of pap; but that the Post
: Master General was inexorable uad finally pereuipto
! rily declineJ.
Now, we think that the application itself was a most
| novel one. Our coteinporary of the Herald seems to
! be under the impression that the exiting government
;is oppressive, unjust and ought to he destroyed. He
| has been consorting wiili a s -t ot men known, in Geor
gi.i, as Fire-E iters, <>r Oisanionists. lie Ins himself
published articles weit calculated to “ s.ir the blood to
mutiny.” Under such circumstances, we sav the ap
plication was n novel one. Few m- n would consent to
ask favors of a government for which they profess no
affection. We are not suprised, therefore, that the ap
plication should have been refused, and that the adver
tizing should have beet! given to the Dinner. It is
another evidence that the administration at Washing
ton is in full fellowship with the Constitutional Union
Party ot Georgia, and that it will neither patronise nor
gratify those upon whose garments is the least odour
of disunion. The Danner was conducted, durirg the
late campaign, with signal ability, and still manifests
an unbounded devotie.i to the Union. Tor that rea
son, ii for no other, it richly deserved the compliment
paid to it by the Department at Washington. The
Herald claims the advertisement on the ground of be
ing a Whig Organ I Tiiis makes the refusal still
more justifiable, because it proves that the Administra
tion w ill repudiate even its oldest and best friends, when
they’ ate found to entertain disunion sentiments.
The I men Pledge.
The subjoined pledge is the one aliuded to by tis two
weeks since, as having been signed by some sixty or
seventy members of Congress, it is very good as far
as it goes, but it falls short of the great popular move
ment, which alone can save the country. If the Union
is to be saved and perpetuated, it must be by the organ
ization oi a National Union Party. This must be form
ed by the people and by events, and not by the politi
cians. To the people—the real sovereigns—then we
look. When the disunion storm came upon us last
year, the politicians “ trembled like aspen leaves,” out
the people stood like lite “ rock of ages.” They will
stand so again, whenever the occasion requires it. I
the politicians are unwilling to assume their part of the
responsibility, they must not expect to receive any of
the honors. While, therefore, we give all praise to ihe
sixty bold and honest lm-p who signed the following
pledge, we must express our regret*, that others have
not acted with equal firmness, and given eq lal evidence
of patriotic devotion to the government:
“The undersigned. Members of the Thirty-first
Congfess of the United Chutes, believing that a renew
al of the sectional controversy upon the subject ol slave
ry would be both dangerous to the Union am! destruc
tive of its objects, and seeing no inode by which such
controversy can b* avoided except by strict adherence
to the settlement thereof effected by the Compromise
Acts at the last session ol Congress, dj hereby de
clare their intention to maintain the said settlement
inviolate, and to resist all attempts to repeal or niter the
acts aforesaid, unless by general consent of the friends
of the measures, and to remedy such evils, if any, a 3
time and experience may develops. And for the pur
pose of making this resolution effective, they further
declare that they will not support lor the office of
President or of Vice President, or of Senator or ol Rep
resentative in Congress, or as member of a State Leg
islature, any man, of whatever party, who is not known
to bo opposed to the distuihance ol the settlement ulore
said.aud to the renewal, in any form, of agitation upon
the subject of slavery.”
The Missouri Senator.
We took occasion last week to congratulate our
readers upon the defeat of Mr. Benton. We knew
that Mr. Geyer, the successful candidate, was a gentle
man ol distinction. We knew that he was a conserva
tive Whig, but we did not know that he was an open
avowed, uncompromising Uniou man, upon the bn-fis of
the late adjustment bills. A letter from him was read
before the Missouri Legislature, while in joint 8 -sion
oil the ITtli u!t. The following extracts from it wiil
send a thrill of joy through the breast of every Union
man in the nation. That such a mail should succeed*
Benton, is indeed matter for univeistl rejoicing:
“The persevering efforts to procure the passage of
pets to prohibit slavery in the Territories, and abolish
it in the District of Columbia, have brought oil a fear
ful crisis- At the commencement of ihe late session of
Congress no one, 1 think, can doubt that the success ol
those efforts, in either case, would have been regarded
and treated by several of the States ns an open declara
tion of civii war; and tiie Union, with its manifold
blessings, would have perished in a conflict of arms.—
Nay, if the questions had been left open to agitation
another year, this Union could not have withstood the
shock. Fortunately, better counsels prevailed, and the
greatest of all calamities was averted by the passage of
the several bills constituting what is called the Compro
mise ; and now, my deliberate opinion is, that the best
security we can have against the recurrence af the im
minent peri! which we have so recently escaped, i>, to
uphold that Adjustment m all its putts, and preserve it
inviolate.
“Although the admission of California, with her ex
tensive boundaries, and the acts lor the aboliffoii of
what is called the slave trade in the District of Colum
bia, would not have been entirely acceptable to tne,
unconnected with the other constituents ol the Adjust
ment, or a reliable assurance of tinir passage ; yet, ns
a whole, I was from the beginning, am now, and shall
be to the end, in favor of that Adjustment. It is the
best settlement of the controversy that could, under ai’
the circumstances, have been obtained.
“ It involves no sacrifice or surrender of principle.—
It impairs no right of a State or citizen of the United
States, and secures no triumph to any section, party,
or people of the Union overnnother. Good faith, as
well as the preservation of the harmony of the Union,
require that it should be sustained by men of all par
ties.
“ If it can be preserved inviolate, it will restore har
mony and tranquility to all portions ol tiffs Republic
by re-establishing the confidence of our people in the
justice of the Government, and the good laith of their
fellow-citizens. If it he overthrown, no one can eati
inate the calarniucs that will alnn inevitably be
brought upon the countiy.”
Vermont and Virginia.
The last Legislature of Vermont pr ssed a series of
resolutions “ for the promotion of Peace,” which the
Governor,in accordance with resolutions,has sent to
Governors of the other States. In Virginia, Gov
Floyd submitted them to the Legislature, when tie
following very appropriate action was had in ti e
House:
Mr. Bolling offered the following resolutions :
1. Resolved, Tiiat the Governor he requested to re
turn to tile Governor of Vermont ill” resolutions of the
Legislature of that State style “ Resolutions for the
promotion ot Peace.”
2. Resolved, That the Governor he requested to in
form the Governor of Vermont, that the Legislature ol
Virginia declines to consider tiie resolution from t! e
Legislature of Vermont, relative to the peace of the
world, until that body shall show itself careful of the
peace of the Union,by conforming its enactments to
the Constitution of the United States and laws passed
in pursuance thereof.
The previous question waa called upon
of the resolutions —and die House seconded the call.
On Mr. Forbes’juolion the ayes and noes were call’
cd for,and being taken, resulted os follows: ayes 123
noes O—so the resolutions passed by a unanimous vote.
Memphis and Charleston Hailroad.
The Board of Directors of the above road, have
finally decided upon the main points to be touched in
its location. It is to extend from Memphis to LaGrange*
thence to Tuseumbia, thence to Decatur, thence to
HuiitSviiie, thence through Jackson county io ihe
Nashville and Ciattnooaga Railroad, near U'ic.w
Creek, the whole distance being 2821 miles. Ihe o
tal cost is estimated at $3,500,000. The amount of
stock already taken is about §2,000,000. The route
between Memphis and LaGrange, will be laid upon
the track of the old road which has been partly graded
and which can be made ready for the iron at a compar
atively small cost. The surveys have all been made by
CoI.F.M. Garnett,formerly Chief Engineer upon the
Georgia Road, and we understand lhat he and Ex-
Governor Jones, will shortly visit the Southern cities
for the purpose of soliciting aid to the enterprise.
Duelling in Maryland— The refoim Convention
have instructed a committee to inquire into the expedi
ency of making a person killing another in a duel
guilty of murder, nnd to have his property confiscated
to the support of his victim's family.
A Righteous Judgment.
The following is an extract from a letter, dated Bos
ton, Massachusetts, January 20th, which we find copied
in the Charleston Courier of the 25tb:
“ Some astounding developments relative to the re
cent disappearance of a young girl named Brown, the
daughter of a highly respectable abolitionist, are being
made. It appears that the lather had expressed him
-elf indifferent as to whether his daughter married a
white man or a negro. She took him at bis word, and
a few weeks since eloped with a black man, married
him, and in his company, went to the different dens
in Ann street, in one ot which she was discovered by
an officer, and cairietl to her father. ‘She is now in
the Lunatic Asylum. The affair has been hushed up
here on account of the respectability of the parties.”
Modification of the Tariff. —lt is stated by the
Washington correspondent of the Courier Jj Enquirer,
that a modification of the Tariff to the following effect
liny be reasonably expected:
An ad valorem duty ot forty per cent., to be laid on
iron, assessed on the average cost for the preceding ten
years. Second —a restoration of the free list of
which contains a clause levying a duty ol five cents on
woolens costing under seven cents, and admits free dye
stuffs and other articles necessary in carpet and calico
manufactures. Third —a declaration that the duty
shall be assessed on the value of the imported article at
the time nnd place of exportation ; a provision in ac
cordance with the real intention of the act of ’4Q, but
evaded under a decision of Judge Woodbury. Fourth
—the making imported manulactured goods pay ten
per qpnt. more duty than the raw materials of which
they are composed. This last proposition is offen dby
many democratic members, and no definite decision
iias yet been had upon it.
Indiana. Exclusion and Colonization of Ne
groes proposed. — In the Constitutional Convention on
the 13th inst.,Mr. Kent, from the Select Committee, to
which the different subjects in relation to negroes and
mulattoes were referred, reported a series of sections
providing—that no negro or mulatto shall come into or
settle in this State after the adoption of this Constitu
tion; contracts with negroes coming into the State to
be void, and persons employing them, or otherwise en
couraging their remaining in the State, shall be fined
not less than $lO nor more than $500; there shall be an
annual appropriation for the gradual colonization of
negroes and mulattoes and their descendants, who are
here at the adoption of the Constitution ; alter 1860 no
ncgio or mulatto shall acquire real estate except by de
scent; the General Assembly topasslaws to carryout the
provisions of the foregoing sections, if adopted by the
people. This article shall be submitted to a separate
vote of the people. So there is but little chance lor a
fugitive slave in Indiana.
Henry S. Geyer.— The St. Louis Intelligencer
peaks of Mr. Geyer, the Whig Senator who has just
been elected by the Legislature of Missouri, in the fol
lowing complimentary terms:
“ Ability of the highest order—attainments rarely
surpassed—that invaluable knowledge of men, their
motives and actions, acquired in ihe large and success
ful practice for many years of that profession which is
the best school for public men—an ample and thorough
knowledge of the political history,condition, and wants
of the country—a patriotism earnest and wide as the
whole Union—a character unblemished and pure,sure
ly these constitute some title to the public favor, some
fitness for public trusts. All of these requisites, we can
assert without fear of contradiction, are to be found in
the candidate presented by the Whigs.”
Small Debts.— No man, says the Dooion
who is able to pay, ought ever to say to a poor man
“ call again,” when the payment of a few’ dollars would
make his creditors and family comfortable. This is
sound morals. Delay in payment obliges the creditor to
lose time in running alter the money, which is equiva
lent to so much value deducted from the debt. Where
the debt is of small amount, two or three errands after
it would cost to the creditor more than its whole value.
This is particularly the case with newspaper debts
which are scattered ail over the country. These,no
honest men will .ail to pay cn presentation, even if he
lias to borrow the money to do so.”
Important Invention— A Mr. Wilson, of Massa
chusetts, has recently invented a machine, and obtain
ed for it a patent, by which it is raid sewing of all des
criptions is executed in a very rapid manner, and in
fineness and strength superior to hand work. .The
simplicity of the mechanism, its diminutiveness, and
the amount if work which it accomplishes, are
truly astonishing. A single machine occupies so lit
tle space that it can be put inside a man’s hat, and yet
by the turning of a small crank, the instrument will
sew ten times faster than any sempstress.
Inaugural of Gov. Ross, or Delaware. —The Del
aware Gazette contains the inaugural address of Wm.
11. Ross, Esq., upon taking the oath of office as Gov
ernot of the State:
“ A considerable portion of it is devoted to the exci
ting subject of slavery, and the Governor takes high
and thoroughly national ground in favor of the com
promise measures of !he last session ol Congress, and
speaks of the devotion of Delaware to tire Union.”
Railroads in the United States. —The tola I num
ber of miles of railroad in operation in the United States,
at the beginning of the present year, was 8,797, which
cost;to build them $286,455,078. In New York the
number of miles of railroad in operation is 1,402, nta
cost ot $55,202,000. Pennsylvania 917 miles, at a cost
of $35,101,033. New Jersey 259 miles, costing SB,.
22f',u00. In all the New England States there were
2,'till miles,costing $96,940,450.
The Population of Delaware, by the late census,
is 90,107. New Castle county has 42,669,Kent 22,471,
Sussex 25,267. In 1810 the population ot Delaware
was 78,107. There are 2.278 slaves in the State.—
Whole number of Hacks, .including slaves, 18,426. —
Persons over 20 years of age who cannot read, 9,705-
Persons at school, 12,523.
Panama Railroad. —By the arriVal of the Falcon,
at New York, we learn that the work on the line of
the Railroad from Panama to Limon bay is pushed
forward with great energy. The Star says that with
in thirty or forty-five days upward of seven hundred la
borers from New York had been sent forward by the
Company on their different steamers, and put to work.
Wisconsin.—Hon. Hen-y Dodge was re-elected to
the U. S. Senate for six years from the 4th of March
next, by the Wisconsin Legislature on the 21st inst., re
ceiving on the fiiet. ballot C 9 votes to 7 for Hon. James
Duane Doty.
St. Charles Hotel— The various meetings of citi
zens in New-Orleans, relative to rebuilding the St.
Charles, have resulted in an arrangement with the old
stockholders, by which they relinquish their claim to
the ground and materials and also the charter of the
company, for the consideration of five dollars per share.
The outstanding shares are about 12,375. New sub
scriptions for 15,000 shares, at S2B, making a capital
of $375,000. are to be obtained. A committee of fifty
citizens was appointed ft> solicit subscriptions, and no
doubts are entertained of their ability to raise the re
quired amount in a short time. — Mobile Advertiser.
Tiie Remington Bridge. —The Amsterdam Intel
ligencer states that the bridge built the last season and
recently finished, across the Mohawk, at Tribes Hill,
on the Remington Plan, went down last week, being
unable to sustain its weight irom its immense length.
We understand the cost ol the company so far, in erect
ing this and another bridge that fell down last year, is
about $12,000.
Indiana Erect.—Resolutions offered in the Senate
ol Indiana on the 14:li instant in favor of certain mod
ifications ot the fugitive stave law, were laid on the ta

A C ARD.
We, the undersigned passengers on board the new
steamer Alabama, on her secorld trip Irom New York
to this port, feel that they cannot separate without tes
tifying their approbation ot the splendid qualities of the
vessel, and of the general good conduct of all on boaid.
They have founJ the Alabama last, admirably appoin
ted,and most comfortable iuevery respect,and as such
would recommend her to all who may be traveling be
tween the two t.iiies. We have also found Capt. Lud
low, while not inattentive to their wants, most con
stantly watchful in relation to all his duties as a sea
man ; and while all the officers of the ship, as well as
the Engineers, are fulip deserving of praise, we feel
that toe cannot pass over the Steward, Mr. Wright,
and the excellent deportment of all the waiters. It
would be difficult, on sea or on shore, to find a better
table, or one better seived, than that on board the Ala
bama. We repeat, that we cannot part without re
commending her especially to the notice ol the travel
ling community.

| North Carolina. —The following resolutions have
j passed the House ot Commons. It will be seen that
they are rhe same in substance as those adopted by the
Georgia Convention:
1. Resolved, That the Constitution of the United
States is a compact between sovereign ami indepen
dent State, 5 , and all powers not therein delegated, are
reserved to the States lespectively—that among rhe
attributes of sovereignty retained by the several States,
is that of watching over the operations of the general
Government, and protecting her citizens from uncon
stitutional abuse on the one hand, and securing to them
on the other, a ‘strict fulfilment of the obligations im
posed by the Constitution upon the general Govern
ment.
2. That in the opinion of this General Assembly,
North Carolina is deeply devoted to the Union of tfie
States, and will to the utmost, endeavor to preserve
and neipetuato it so long as ihe Union itself shall se
cure the great and Beneficent purposes for which it was
formed.
3. That while we do not approve of all the provis
ions of the compromise by Congress, called the adjust
ment, still, from a fraternal spirit of forbearance to
wards our brethren in the iimi-slnvehnldmg States, and
a sincere and heartfelt attachment to the Union, we
arc willin • to acquiesce in said compromise—honestly
and faithfully carried out.
. Tint while we are disposed to accept the said
compromise as t!.e work ol peace, we deem it a s cred
duty to warn the people cl the free States against any
further encroachment upon our rights, and todeelare
I explicitly, in ihe opinion of this General Assembly,
j North Carolina would and ought to regard as entirely
inconsistent with her longer continuance in tin Union,
the aholiiioti ot slavery in the District of Columbia by
Congress without the consent of the slave-holding
States, and incompatible with their safety and inter
ests ; or any act of Congress, prohibiting the citizens ol
one slaveho'dmg State from removing their slaves to
any other slaveholding State, or a relusal by Congress
to admit into the Union asa Stateany territory belong
ing to the United States on account of the existence of
domestic slavery within its limits ; or any act applying
the dangeious and mischievous princi; le of the Wihnot
Proviso to the Territories of Utah and New Mexico;
or any act which repeals the recent act tor the reclama
tion of fugitive slaves, or so modifies ihe same as essen
tially to impair its efficiency and usefulness.
5. That whenever any one of the contingencies men
tioned in the foregoing resolutions shall have arisen,
the Governor of this State be, and is hereby required
to convene the General Assembly, at such lime as he
in his wisdom shall deem fit, in order to take into con
sul-ration the solemn duties we owe to ourselves as
freemen, and our then existing relations w ith tile Fed
eral Government.
