_ .. arise -before on address
iDuhl be sent to tho Crown on the polhicai
branch ofthe question. (lloar, hoar.) Now,
with respeetto that part of tho question which
delated to the tnuln fn slaves, the honorable gen*
demon opposite had remarked that no corres-
'pondeiice had been laid before the houso with
regard to the progress or diminution of the slave
trade supposed to exist ill Texas, while othoi
places were given. The Ihct was so j and the
explanation hehad to offer was, that His Majes*
ty s Government had no agent in the province
of Texas, and they had only Ihlely received in*
formation from the British Minister at Mexico
tearing on tho illir.it trade in slaves supposed to
be carried on in Toxus. It would be a great
evil, much to ho dopjored, Iftlie course of the ci*
vil wnr were to lend to .the extension of or re-es*
tahlishment orslavery.
That warn matter deserving the attention of
tho house; and if the house supposed that Ilia
Majesty’s Government were either indifferent
ot tuiwilling to bestow (he most xigiluiit care to
prevent such an evil, lie should bo willing to a*
groo in thinking,with the hou. member ofSouth*
umpton,‘it fitting to. udmonisli the Government
in the manner lie proposed: but he (Lord Palm*
eraton) assured the house, the Government re
quired no such' stimulus to perform their ditty,
and he thought llmt what they were now doing
might bo accepted as a proof tiiat they were mix*
ious and active in'endeavoring to put do\yn the
slave trade in every part of the world, and to
prevent its springing up in qunrtors whore it did
not already oxut. But lie .did not . think thero
; vas any cnuriderftble dang or of such an ovil bo*
ng tho result of die .AJ«|jdln civil war, for it
Was evident that ebher.Texasxnnst be conquer*
ed and VTeld -to Mexican authority, or that it t by
succaoaiyg iu its struggle, would become an'in-
dependent state; or thirdly .add ifself to the U.
States of America. Nbw.Jftho Mexican ait-
thpiity were re-established, no more oncourage-
went to the slave trudo would be givon in Tex*
as than in any other .Mexican Statu. -•
Again, if the Mexicali authority Was thrown
off, and the Independence of Texas declared, it
would then be,open to tins country to interfere
and put down any trade in claves that uiigljt bo
carried on. Lastly, ifTexalshould, in the pro*
gross of events, become a member of the United
Stutee of America, though xiaves might be sent',
thoro from olharStatufl, there would be no real
danger oftiie importation of slaves from the
const of Africa or the islands in the Wfcst Indies.
Ho was inclined to believe that' un importation
into Tefas of slaves from Cuba Imd'laken place,
but lie had not heard of uny such importation
from the coast of Africa. With regard to the
importations of slaves from Cuba, he must say,
that it hud occurred before the treaty cpncludod
between Spaiuand this country for suppressing
tiiu slave trade had como into operation. The
statement of the bon. member frofn Southarap*
ton, therefore,, applied to a time antecedent to
theratifioatioii-orthe-treaty. ' ' *

WRECK' OF THE RICHARD DOBBS.
The owners and others interested, will 110 doubt
be sorry to Uear that this fine fast nailing vessel,
which Imd been newly rigged * and painted, is
now lying u complete wtcck near Frying-pan
Shoals on the ooait of Rowan. The Whole cur-
go which bad been freighted at the risk of the
owuer, with a grout deal of s|terie pm on board
for (he accommodation of frieuds, is utterly lost.
It is said that the Whig wreck masters have sa
ved tho specio, but claim it as u lawful prize.—
This vessel left Newburn on Thursday, 1 lth Au
gust, 1836, for Governor's Island—it had Iii tow
a suiuli skiff called the Mdrfm Van Bureh,bound
for port President, an J kindly oQered a to escort
heras fur us Governor's Island on her voyage.
They had fuir Weather and smooth sailing until
they came to look-out point, Columbus county r
where the wouthcr becauio a little squally ; ‘
ever, they got on pretty well until they came to
Capo Granville,whero they oncounterod a rough
sea and a very distressing head wind. Hero they
hud toshortcu sail and tuck for Urange HCrbor;
hero the wind blew so rough and the. breakers
ran so high, that, instead of ontcrii.g they steer
ed due weft, but were beaten by the stress of
weather into-Chatham Straights. Here tliey
made a signal ofdiBtross, bhl would lidt land for
feur of the hqstile temper of the nutives. One
Cotton, a pilot, went on board, and offered, for
a reward, to conduct thorn post the Carrowuy
peaks, outlie coast of Randolph, but the twq Ves
sels had not got further than Point Abolition, on
the coast of Guilford, whero they intended to
take in water and provisions, beforo they' were
ovortaken-by n white squall, that carried asya;
the top-sails of the Richurd Dobbs, and strninei.
her cordage very considerably. About midnight
not fur from Uwhnrie Cliffs, a tremendous gale
encountered the two unfdrtuuate ships, blowing
off of the Montgomery and Anson shore—here
the main-Huil gave way, and'tho muin-mastof
the Richard Dobbs was considerably sf rained—
she begt along heavily over the whirlpools of
Davidson, .thinking that if they, could gut to
Mocklehgburg Harbor, tho Richnrd could refit
aud go on upon her voyage^ but just as they got
uear Lord Granville’s hue, on the coast of. Sail
bury, a tromendoua galo from the Mountains
took them all aback, and loft- scarce a rope or
spar undamaged. The Richard drifted heavily
upon the Fryuig*pan Shoal*,Ithere went down,
her whole crow perishqd, and her cargo, which
consisted of loaves and fishes for the array of the'
faithful, wus entirely lost: They say tlmtscarco-
|y a plank of the RichardDobbs cun' be found,
Tho skiff which had suffered less than her con
sort, in conseqence of her moving in the otber’i
wake and keeping'bettor in tlio wind’s eye, was
nevertheless .greatly, damaged, and after the
Richard went down, was seen running from the
Carolina coast under bare polls. Her rigging
is ulmost in shreds aud her crew greatly dishoart-
enod. No one*believes she will survive tlio No
vember storms. . . »
It is thought that the Joss of this vessel, added
to that of tho David Newland, a crazy leaky con
cern, which was richly laden With spoils, and
which went down 011 the saino day noar the
Painted Rock, off the coast .of Bunco mbe, will
nearly break up thejoint stock political trading
company in North Carolina.

subject which may be misinterpreted. In the
firetplaca, the harvebl of silk, which offers ots-
where so favorable an aspect, has purpaAed our
most sanguine expectations. Letters from the

It is calculated that Horault and Gard have pro
duced silk to thq amount of from 25 to 30 mil

sold for cash, it maybe judged whet an immense
movement in the funds this single branch of

We should have rested satisfied with tho can

Presidency, had wo hot found ourselves, in the
reply oftho Georgian yesterday, called upon for
proof of our assertion, ns to Mr. Van Burkn’s
being in "heart" nnJVbolitionist—and we lire
referred to his letter written *• to tiie North Caro
lina .Whigs’’—to there point out Mr. Van Bu-
ren’s Abolitionism. Now, if our meuioryserves.
us—for we. have not a copy-of tiie letter before
us—Mr. Van Boren iu that very letter to wltij
the Georgian refers, upon the question of Al
lition, declares, in substance, that Congress, fn
the lights before him, has thi right to abolish slavery
in the Districtdf Colum'/ia. Iftlnwo arohls senti
ments, and tlioy are certainly troy for they were
promulgated tinder bis own sign manuei, we ask
the Georgian—wo usk every citizen of the South,
if they-do not possess sufficient Abolitionism for
tha pcopto to keep .him trotn the Presidential
Chair. But tiio Georgian goes still ftirther, it
says—"Mr. Van Burkn knot‘thecandidate,

Hero aguin we have the Georgian, and the

V If we cannot have Northern Presidents and

As to the Georgian's " risible faculties ". be

Gentlemen:—Your note of-the 9th inatont.-in
the Georgia Journal, addressed to 'the State
Rights oandiflates for. Congress; was, handed' to
me for tho first tipioyesterday. 4 * Recognizing to
its fullest extant, "the right oftho Constituent to
require oftbe candidate for hissuffrnge,an open'
avowal of his opinions, on any political subject,
I take grant pleasure in responding to ti)B impor
taut qtiestions ybii have propounded.
You ask if Itbelieve the Congress oftho Uni
ted States has the constitutionarnnwer to abolish
slavery in-the District of Cblnmbia, or in any of
the territories of Uie United States, or to legislate
on thst-aubject at all jjnid whether, if I am elect
ed a Representative to the next Congresrf.I will
vote to receive petitions for the abolition of slave
ry?—To both these questions I unhesitatingly
answer iu the negative. If Congress has the
right to abolish slavery in the District, of.Colum*
hie, or elsewhere, or to legislate upon that sub
ject at all, the right must bo derived nlono from
the'.Coristitntion, for from no other source can
any department ofithb General Government de
rive any right or power whatever, ntider its pre-
sont organization The only olause in llmt in
strument upon which the Abolitionists, ond thqse
who act With them, ground their claim of power,
to legislate upon the Subject af slavery, is that
which authorizes Congress "to exercise exclu
sive legislation in ftlleases whatsoever over such
District not exceeding ten miles sqiinre," as may'
I bi ceded to the IJnited States for thft purpose of
•establishing a permanent "sest of Government."
To my mind,'this clause, instead of cqnfetring,
directly,prohtbhs, tiie exercise ofsnch a,power ;
for although Congress may exercise •!exclusive ltr
gislation,' r th&8e words can never be nortnredio
meau an unlimited, and undefined legislation.—
Shch a cobstniction wopld bo to subvert the re
strictive operation-oftho Constitution, and con
found the meaning of words—it would be to
make "exc/ujice" and "unlimilcit" or “undefined"
convertible terms, for which, other authority-
than V»e present standard, lexicons of our lan
guage must be produced^
Nor does the seefningly comprehensive phrase
".in all cases whatsoever" whi^immodiately fob.
