Abolition Movements.
The Legislature of Massachusetts have
uist adjourned, and despatched a Parth
ian arrow at the Old Dominion. They
have passed resolutions, in reply to those
of our last Legislature, concerning their
extraordinary proposition to upset one of
the fundamental principles of the Con
stitution. They resolved, among other
things, that the return of their “resolves”
is without a precedent in the correspon
dence between the Several States—in de
rogation of the rights of the States, and
a violation of courtesy, &c. They also
resolve, that the principle of their amend
ment is essential to the stability of the
Union, and that “the People of Massa
chusetts will always hereafter, as they
now do, firmly and conscientiously ad
here” to it. We give these extraordinary
resolutions in another column. And we
take the liberty of telling her Representa
tives, that if the Union cannot endure
without her amendment, it is destined to
dissolution —for, Virginia and the whole
South will, “hereafter, as they now do,
firmly and conscientiously adhere” to
the present compromise of the Constitu
tion—and that they never will agree to
change (falsely called amendment) in
this respect.
We congratulate our readers upon the
fact of these resolutions having been put
down by a decided vote of the House of
Representatives on Friday last. Mr.
Promgoole, from the Select Committee on
the resolutions of the Legislature of Al
abama and Virginia, (suggested by those
of Massachusetts,) submitted the follow
ing Preamble and Resolutions, for the
purpose of testing the vote of the House,
and letting the country know whether
they would sanction the change, or pre
serve the Constitution :
“ The Select Committee report that the
Committee have maturely considered the
proftosition of the General Assembly of
Massachusetts, to amend the Constitution
of the United States, by apportioning re
presentatives and direct taxes according
tothc whole number of free persons, ex
cluding Indians not taxed, and also the
three-fifths of all other persons now em
braced in the determination of Federal
numliers. This proposition is strongly
and unanimously condemned by the
General Assembly of Virginia, and is re
garded, in truth, as a proposition virtual
ly to dissolve the Union. The Commit
tee, believing that the basis of represen
tation and direct taxation, as regulated in
the Constitution, was the result of a spirit
of concession and compromise, which
was indispensable to the union of the
States, and to the formation and ratifica
tion of that Constitution, as ordained and
established, are of opinion that the pro
posed.-Iteration of the compromise would
produce apcaceablcor violent dissolution
of the Union. The Committee in its
pure meaning, as formed by the Conven
tion, and ratified by the States, and con
fidently believing that such is the de
liberate sense of the States and of the
people thereof, with very rare exceptions,
are of opinion that no such proposition
us that of the General Assembly of Mas
sachusetts ought to be recommended by
Congress, or favored in the least degree.
The Committee therefore report, and re
commend to the adoption of the House,
the following resolution :
“ Resolved by the House of Repre
sentatives of the United States, That
the rule established in the Constitution
as the basis of representation and direct
taxation, resulted from a spirit of conces
sion and compromise essential to the for
mation and preservation of the Union of
the Slates, ought to be held sacred by the
friends of the Union.
“ Resolved , That no proposition to
alter or amend the Constitution m rela
tion to representation and direct taxation
among the State, ought to be recom
mended by Congress, but that every such
proposition ought to be promptly and de
cisively condemned.”
Mr. Dromgoole called for the ayes and
noes, and demanded the previous ques
tion. Mr. J. Q,. Adams, of course, pro
tested against this course—but the House
supported the previous question by a
vote of 118 to 51. Mr. Parmcnter mov
ed to lay them on the tabic—lost, 43, to
132—0f these 43, 38 were Whigs, 5
Republicans, Catlin, (Cori.) Lyon,
(Michigan) Sykes, [New Yorkjand Par
menter and YVilliams, [Mass.]
The Ist Resolution was adopted, 158
to 18—the whole 18 were Whigs. The
2d Resolution was adopted by a vote of
127 to 41. Os these last, all were whigs
except s—and these were the same as
the 5 above—except that Lyons of Michi
gan did not vote, and Wheaton of N. Y.
did vote on that side. We state these
statistics to show the People of the South,
who are their best friends in the North—
Among the noes is John P. Kennedy of
Maryland ! [Whig] Clingman of North
Carolina [Whig] moved to divide the 2d
Resolution, and failed,of course! White,
of Kentucky, faltered at last, and voted
against the last resolution. Only 4
Whigs in the non-slaveholding States
voted with us. Judge ye then, People
of Virginia, between the two parties !
Say who are the Natural Allies of the
Democracy of the South, the Whigs or
the Democrats of the North 1 thefriends
of Van Buren or the friends of Clay ?

WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3, 1844.
Macon Ac. &c.
The extreme importance of the discus
sions on the Texian question, especially
to the South, has induced us to collect
and place before our readers the ablest
articles on that all-absorbing subject,
from our different exchanges. These,
with the foreign news also, of no ordina
ry interest, have crowded out much val
uable matter fromto-day’s publication.
State Elections.
These, so far as they have supervened,
are deadly to Mr. Clay’s aspirations —in
the Granite State, the last heard from,
ihc democrats have cleared the kitchen;
swept the State. There is but one whig
in the Senate and seventy democratic
majority in the house of delegates.
The Clay Pageant and our amount of it.
The occupant of the editorial chair
who discharges his sacredly responsible
duties with scrupulous fidelity to truth
and the welfare of his country, must
reckon upon becoming the subject of
censure and misrepresentation. Forex
ample, we, in a recent number, presented
our readers with what was intended and
wished to be a courteous and impartial
view of the proceedings connected with
Mr. Clay’s progress from the depot to the
Central Hotel in this city—his address
on the following Mondays, the ball that
night, <fec. Well, notwithstanding all
our good intentions the article has been
pronounced incorrect and abusive. It
has been said, that from our sombre view
of the procession a stranger might sup
pose it more resembled a funeral than a
cavalcade indicating an enthusiastic wel
come to an honored guest. The gloomy
weather, the feeble, melancholy sound of
the minute guns and the listless, or seri
ous countenances of all concerned, cer
tainly gave to the cavalcade a sad rather
than a joyous appearance. Mr. Clay
seemed calm and unconcerned. He is
not the first man, who alive and well was
present at his own funeral, or played a
part in the farce of £ Much ado about no
thing.’
Again we are blamed not noticing the
uproarious cheering that welcomed his
arrival at the Central Hotel. Uproarious
indeed ? Why it reminded some present
of what Nick Bottom promised to do
when performing the part of a Lion, that
‘he would roar like any sucking dove.’
To be sure, the faint cheering at the Ho
tel had something more of vitality in it,
than the apparition of a hurrah tried to
be raised at the court-house. The anal
ysis and a few brief remarks on the great
bragist’s performance were prepared and
should have appeared on the Wednesday
after his departure; but as the substance
of his speech is familiar to all, from his
constant repetition of it for the last fifteen
years, we waited to glean the variations
he might add at his different stopping
places. The whole shall be presented
in our next number. We are proud, the
discernment and good taste of our Whig
friends here, have saved them from the
disgusting absurdity of attempting to pro
fane the ministers of the gospel and the
innocence and purity of youthful females
in a raree show, got up in honor of a
broken down gambler in politics.
In the present number we have placed
before our readers such items of intelli
gence from Europe, brought by the Cal
edonia, as are interesting to this country.
’Tis evident from the papers brought by
tfie steamer, that the materials out of
which sprung insurrection, revolt, and
revolution are scattered far and wide over
the old world.
The news from Great Britain and Ire
land is of course the most important. —
We invite the especial attention of cotton
planters to the letter from the Manches
ter manufacturer. The fact lift states, of
the decreasing employment, of low pro
ceed, and the augmented demand (likely
to be permanent) for the better and best
cottons, merits the serious consideration
of the enlightened cotton grower. The
diminished demand for the low priced
cottons in the Liverpool market, has
probably arisen from the fact that the
protection, direct and incidental, afforded
to manufacturers in this country, (at the
expense of all of its vital interests) ena
bles them to undersell the British in for
eign markets and still realize exorbitant
profits. We beg leave to commend to
their attention a valuable pamphlet on
the culture of our great staple, by Mr.
Seabrook, a practical planter of South
Caro) ina.

Arrival of (lie Caledonia.
. 22 DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.
Disavowal by the French Government
of the proceedings of their Admiral
in the Pacific —Conviction of O'Con
nell and his associates.
The Caledonia arrived at Boston on
Friday morning, with London and Liv
erpool papers to the sth ult, inclusive.
She experienced boisterous weather on
her passage, especially off the harbor of
Halifax, where she was detained forty
eight-hours before it was deemed safe to
attempt making the port.
The trial of Mr. O’Connell and others
after twenty-fivedays duration, have been
concluded, and eigh of the Traversers
have been found guilty,but thesentences
are deferred until the next term. Mr.
O’Connell, has on behalf of himself and
his companions, protested against the
verdict, and has intimated that so soon as
sentence shall have been passed, he will
have the matter submiited to the whole
body of Judges in Ireland, and that, if
their decision should lie unfavorable, he
will appeal to the House of Lords. In
the mean time he has made his way up
to London and taken his place in the
House of Commons. Ireland is said to
have been perfectly tranquil since the
rendition of the verdict.
In reference to the Agitator, the Belfast
Northern Whig publishes the following
paragraph :
“We learn on what we consider good
authirity, that the Duke of Wellington is
determined that Mr. O’Connell shall not
be sent to prison, believing that the mor
al effect of a conviction will be sufficient,
and that punishment would be a useless
piece of severity.”
On the other hand, the Liverpool Mer
cury of the 16th ult., says : “It is foolish
ly imagined by some, that the traversers
will not be called up for judgement; this
opinion is, in the opinion of well-inform
ed persons, totally at variance with what
will occur. It is to be hoped that the
peace of the country will be preserved,
which is very doubtful.”
On the 13th ult., Lord John Russell
brought forward his promised motion, for
a Committee of the whole House to take
into consideration the state of Ireland.—
Its discussion occupied the House of
Commons lor nine nights, and the result
was, that it was lost, by a vote of 225 for,
and 324 against, giving ministers a ma
jority of 99 votes.
Mr. O’Connell was present during the
debate, and made an eloquent appeal in
behalf of his country'.
Incendiarism, highway robberies and
other crimes against property, manifest

The Oregon Territory. —Her ma
jestys’ Government desirous of prosecut
ing with expedition the survey of the dis
puted territory between the United States
and the colonial possessions of her Ma
jesty in North America, has issued orders
for the immediate employment of an ad
ditional force of non-commissioned offi
cers and men belonging to the Royal
Sappers and Miners upon this important
duty, under the Boundary Commissioners
Colonel Estcourt. • This detachment,
which has been selected from the com
pany of that corps employed'on similar
services in England, on account of their
experience and knowledge of the pecu
liar duties required of them, arrived at
Woolwich, from different places in En
gland, on the first inst., and are now in
hourly expectation of proceeding to Liv
erpool, where they are to embark for
America, and, on landing there, will be
sent to the Oregon Territory, to join those
already employed on that service. The
boundary survey party will now consist
of twenty non-commissioned officers and
privates of the Royal Sappers and Min
ers, with Capt. Brougham and two other
officers of the Royal Engineers, under
Colonel Estcourt, the Commissioner.
European 7 imes.
Sir Robert Peel, in reply to a question
whether he had received any informa
tion of the intention of the American
government to establish military posts on
the Oregon frontier, said he wasuiot in
possession of any farther information as
to the intention of the American Govern
ment to place military posts on the line
toward Oregon, than that which the gal
lant officer was already aware of. He
also said that the British Government
had originated a communication with
the government of the United States,
with regard to the extreme advantage of
proceeding amicably in the arrangement
for the settlement of the disputed points •
and certainly the answer which had been
received to that communication, justified
the British Government in hoping that
before this, some progress would have
been made toward an arrangement. A
change had recently taken place in the
person of her Majesty’s representative at
Washington, and the new Minister had
gone out with full instruction on the
subject, which he hoped would be pro
ductive of the end desired.
The following letter addressed to a
Commercial house of this city from one
ol the first Manufacturing houses in
Manchester contains important in
formation on the present state and pros
pects of cotton.
“I do not think that the manufac
turers will form any plan of working
short time which will have any serious
effect in diminishing the consumption of
Cotton. I have attended none of their
meetings, but I observe from the reports
that much silly twaddle has been utter
ed. However milch it may be against
the interests of the spinners to have Cot
ton high, they have no right to call men
plunderers and robbers wlw buy it cheap
and sell it dear, when they see an oppor
tunity favorable for the employment of
their capital—it comes wi'h a bad grace
from the “free traders.”
I imagine they would have no objec
tions to a speculative demand, arising for
Cotton mills and machinery, so long as it
is based on real bona fide capital. 1 Can
not see what objections we manufactur
ers can justly urge against this operation.
The excitement seems to be subsiding
a little, and I trust that Brother Jonathan
will get his fingers burnt, for which I
shall not lie sorry. There is no one cir
cumstance in operation just now, which
is worthy of remark, when speaking on
this subject, which I think is producing
silently, more effect than any combina
tion of spinners to work short time, viz :
the very general change which has taken
place during the last three months in the
description of numbers of twistand fine
ness of cloth spun and manufactured.—
During the whole of last year, the de
mand for low numbers and course fabrics
of cloth was immense in consequence of
their very low price, based upon low
prices of the raw material; the conse
quence was that the consumption of cot
ton was very much increased during the
year 1843. Now, however, an effectual
check has been given to the demand, the
trade of course spinners and manufac
turers has been completely cut up and is
proverbially bad; whereas there has been
latterly a very excellent demand for all
the fine fabrics of Yarns, chiefly for the
east, and of cloth such as shirtings, mus
lin and printing cloths for the east, and
also for the home trade; there has there
fore been every inducement to spinners
and manufacturers to relinquish the pro
duction of heavy fabrics and to turn to
finer goods, which are paying better and
upon which their machinery can be fully
employed, with a much less weight of
cotton—another strong inducement.—
The effect von will easily understand.—
I know no one mill which usually con
sumes 150bagsaweek,now onlyconsum
ing 100, and I expect the total effect
throughout the trade at from 2 to 3000
bales a week.”— Chas. Mercury.
• COMMERCIAL JOURNAL.
Extract from a letter received at Charleston, [per Cal
edonia] dated
LIVERPOOL, March 4th, 1844.
With reference to our circular of the 3d ult., by the
last steamer, we have to advise that our cotton mar
ket has since declined 1-8 per lb. This applies more
decidedly to the low and middling than to the better
qualities, and the official quotations for fair have not
been changed, as there is no considerable quantity
offering or pressing on the market, and it might be as
difficult to buy ns to sell extensively at the reduction,
but what is doing in all descriptions must be l-8d be
low the highest point of the market, which is more
languid the last two days than previously. This de
pression has taken place within the last fortnight,
the market having previously remained quite steady.
The accounts from the United States come down to
the Kith ult., and are not generally thought to throw
any new light on the crop question, and the consu
mers in their uncertainty on this point and doubts as
to the continuance of the foreign demand for their
fabrics at the advanced rates, still limit their purcha
ses to the supply of their immediate wants, and have
only bought at the rate of 22,000 bales per week, for
four weeks past; less even than the previous fonr
weeks, and much below their current consumption.
Any check or instability in our market gives an im
mediate check to the foreign demand for Yarns at
Manchester, and these arc comparatively dull and
rather low the last fortnight, while the market for
manufactured goods is steady and satisfactory.
