Thf rctorn nfSir James Rosa from liis voyage in
•eareh of sir Jobu Franklin recalls onr attention from
«)„, ordinary topics ofUiscassion to those distant and
desolate regions of eternal ice from which man and
his inter.mm seem Cor ever banished. That where
there is dm f-r men should be found to brave it, is
■nt a matter" of surprise. There will always be forth-
forait.f adventurous spirits in abundnneo who are
ready to qrypple with .peril for peril's sake—men
whose hearts real within them in the midst of the
tame iatsroeti of civilised life, and who, althouglica-
foible of the le. st h troic efforts sod the most astonish-
tog perseverance, when placed in conflict with the
powe s J nature, sicken and give up the game when
condemned to the jiosition of cogs or wheels ina com
plicated machine, over the general operations of
which they can exercise no effective control. To men
of such stern, unyielding stuff, the linmsn race has
been greatly indebted. They seldom profit by their
awn labour*. They pass their Jives ill the midst of
danger an l of toils. They die with the satisfaction,
perhaps.orhaviogpoluten out to their countrymen.’
*nd lo the world, the existence of some continent or
some svstem of islands, unknown before thoir times,
bat which ccntorics after their death will be covered
with thriving towns and cheerful homesteads. Be
yond the conscimisnoer of haring eatislied their In
ward cm ■ II.- " of their nature—their own peculiar re
ward is limited lo the privilege of bestowing their
name upon a mass of ice-capped granite far within
the Arctic circle, or on a desolate island removed be
yonil th< summer wsuderincs of the distant Esqui-
mstf*.
ft may well be supposed that we are not inclined to
hppty any very stringent canons of criticism to the
ovb'.e labours of these simple hearted men If the
Anglo Saxon race is at this mnmentmore widely scat
torod chan any oilier European stock over four of the
rontiauuta which overtop the lovel of the ocean, it is
to »f this class that we must he grateful for the
distinction. If wo raise our voice at leugtli against
soy further expeditions iu a particular direction, we
do so mainly from the sorrow with which we beer of
so utter a waste of the moat hernia straggles, and of
lives too valuable lobe «acriticrd prematurely, but
which, if a peri deed at all. should at least be staked
with a view to some result important to hnmanity.—
W ith the piap of the Arctic regions lying spread be
fore us, wo luk ourselves in vain what single object
worthy of the venture could by coy contingency be
gained by any further voyage of discovery iu this direc
tion? As in iho fact nf a Northwestern passage from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, there is uothiog further to
ho known which it worth knowing upon the anbjrct.
It is now as nearly as may be three centuries ago that
the tidaof maritime enterprise has act in this direc
tion. and as any o:iu tu»y conviuoo himself by a glance
stonenf Mr. Wyld's maps of the Arctic region, disco
very has been puslind far beyond the limits of practi
cal utility. There appeared in The Timet a few
days back, the following brief abstract of the course
M the various Northern expeditions, which
may not be without interest to any of our readers who
wnold take the trouble, it connection with it, to give
five minutes to the chart:
is "The first attempt was made io 1553 by WilJoogh-
by and Chancellor, who were sent out with instrnc
tions to ascertain if there was a north east passage,
nr if they could resell China bv passing to the north of
Europe and Asia- Willoughby reached Nova Zom
bis, hut he and all his c ew were frozen to death.—
Chancellor entered the White Scat and thus opened
a communication with Rossis. Copt. Cook reached
ley Cape from the Pacific in 177S. In 1607 Capt Ho
Son was sent out to attempt to discover tho north
west passage, and reached the latitude of 91 degrees,
but was under the uucesaity of putting back on sc-
count of the ice. In 1773 this experiment was naain
tried by an expedition under the command of Capt.
Phipps, who advanced abootas faraa Capt. Hudson
Lad previously done; and a similar attempt was made
In 111 B. which proved equally unfortunate, under Capt.
Kachan. In 1**7 Capt. Perry was sent oat to reach
the Pold iu boats and sledgrs over the ice, sod he at
tained almut ea degrees 40 minutes, and was obliged
t» return by the motion of the fields of ice totbesouth.
In 1618 Cant. Rots attempted a north-west passage,
and passed tliroogh l.ancastorSound. Iu 1619 Capt.
Parry ranched 110 degree* west longitude, and in
Hll 33 examined the coast to the northward of Had-
mo’s Bay. In IMI he reached Prince Regent's In
let. In t#J6 Capt. Franklin was sent overland to ex
plore the northern coast ofAmerirn to the west of Mac-
Ionite River; and at the tame time Capt. Ilccchcy
was despatched tn meet him in Behring s Straits —
Th.- tvo expeditions approached each other to withio
a distance nf 146 miles, but returned without meeting,
la 1*89-33 Capt. Ross sailed up Prince Regent’s Tr.
I«t an-l ascertained that there is no cnmmunlcstion
between the Arctic Ocaan and the Atlantic south of
Barrow's Straits.’*
Tho exo-’ti- ns of tha heron, of the Arctic regions.
Fwr-f. Franklii.nn Itha Utssui. appear to have sutfl-
e’ont’y develop* 1 the true nature of these high lati
tufas. The ahsnl-ito opposition offered by the vast
fields <>T Arctic ice to any coutinnons traffic, or even to
the fnrtnitnns passage ofa single ship without almost
aupcrhurutn exertions aud endurance on the part nf
hsre-ew, forbids the supposition that tbe Arctic re
gions can over he turned to any practical account. A
few whales arc no doubt picked np by the more al

The answer shall be given from the narrative ofllie
proceedings of Captain Penny in the Advice, who
murhto his honour, had penetrated in search of Sir
John Franklin as fares Navy Board Inlet in Lancas
ter Sound. Ho landed on one of the Wollaston islands
in this fulct. and here is what he discovered:
*• We disturbed on onr landing abont a hsl'-a dozon
pairs or tilt elder dock (iom<Ueria mollitrimaj. Their
eggs I fou-id to be within a very few hoars nf roatnri-
ty. There were besl-lbs name vine nests, the ocen
j-acts of which had. I supposed, winged their way
aovtfiwards. Two hreot geese (tinier btmida), and
t single pair of Arctic term (iteritn ArctieaJ were
most vociferous and courageous in defence of their
downy offspring whenever I approached. These
were the only birds, with the exception of a solitary
raven fe»n as corns: J, 4’C-"
Now, it is far from oar intention to speak otherwise
t l aa wit i admiration and respect ofthc noble exertion
male by Captain Penny and Mr. Goodair tn discover
and relieve Sir John Franklin and his party. We
•n to from the narrative of their proceedings simply
to shsw in nnllniry esses what the valno would he of
soy expedition to these high latitudes—to witness
the process of inhibition on tho part nf the “Somste-
teria mtsilissiraa," and to listen to the croaking of a
solitary raven. Go still further, as men havo gone,
beyond tho reei-ins where the eider-duck and the Arc-
t.r tern pitch their nests, ami what do yon find? A
v ist Mil it x le oficehnrga and a desolation the monot
ony of which is broken alone by the cracking and tur
ning of the heaving ice.
It is clrar enough, that Ear all purposes of commerce
nr of traffic tho Arctic region must remain a sealed
book tn tho human race, until soma vast change shall
occur In tli j temperature and meteorological arrange
ments nf tho clone. Steam and railways are power-
••■a* here. Magnetic telegraphs and ’the printing
press ran do uolhing. All the wonders nf modern
•ivilitation are palsied in the presence of the eternal
ice and snow. If wo want to co eaxtwanl to India,
wo have now the short overland passage by the lath.
s o »f S i ex, which most in any case take precedence
*-t the North western passage, even if we could put a
vast fire under the ice of tho Arrtic regions, and melt
it down to morrow info asammersba. So with regard

m mlhs—and the IsUimns of Panama will he cut
through. What have we to gaiu in thia respert if we
roohl oilablih a lino of steamer* to perform the dis
ranee hy wav of Lancaster Sound and Behring’s
Straits! Such a course would simply bn to co nnt of
ourway without any adequate object. In a scientific
point nf view, dors say fact remain unexplored which
weak) hr of sufficient importance to justify the ri.k of

This gcutleinan, so deservedly popular through
out the State, it will ho secu by reference to cu
mber column, has been put iu nomination as the
Democratic candidate, to fill the vacancy iu the
First Congressional district, occasioned hy the res
ignation of Mr. Thos. Btriler King. Mr. Jackson
uord* no eulogy at our bauds. His amiablo and
:r- eproachohlo character, his sound judgment aud
distinguished tnlrut* have gained for him the proud
distinction of being uuuiversally esteemed as a cit
izen and a politician. From his first entrance up
on public life up to tho prescut period, he has been
unceasing in patriotic cnJcavoura to iuculcate in
his fellow citizens a lovo lor the Dem-icralic iusl : .
t'llejs of our country. During the chaos of par
ties in 1810 and 44, governed l,y the principles
which iuilucnccd bis conduct in early life, he nev
er for a moment, lost light of the true old Jefferso
nian path of Democracy- It is a mau of such ma
te rials, that the present condition of our federal
relations requires at Washington; a man who has
been tried, anj whose who'e life hit been one
continued testimony of his integrity and ability.
Wo congratulate our friends in ihtt first district,
upon tho prospect of being represented iu Cun
t-rest ouco more, by an uudeviatiug Republican.
Thecardoftbe Democratic membcraoflbe first dis.

Tito Cotton Trade.
We give on the first pugo of this day’s |iapera
valuable article on the Cotton Trade, from the last
lumber of Haul's Merchant’s Magazine. The
t'-alUlics which it presents aro of the utmost
importance to the Commercial, as well as to
the platting aud agricultural reader at this time.—
Iu introducing this article lu its renders, the
Charleston Mercury truthfully remarks. "The
facts it preseuts are of great importance at the pre
sent moment, «vnen it it bat tuo evident -.but a
systematic effort is being made to depreciate tho
value of our leading staple, hy extravagant esti
mates of the crops. These are periodically fabri
cated, with a view to affect price* in Europe, and
re-actiug on this country, enable the spnculator
nud the manufacturer to |>ui*css themselves of the
result of the labor of the planter at a price far be
low iu real value. By thesemancEuvre*. regular
ly put in train as tho crop is coming into market,
the South i» auuually defrauded of millions of dol
lars. A glaring iustauceuf this occurred in 1817,
when it was asserted aud re-asserted, with tho nt-
m ist confidence, that the crop would reach 2,400,-
000 bales, und the greater portion of it was dis-
posed of under that impression at low prices, when
tl e actual yielj was but 1,779,000 hales, or a fall
ing oil'from tho estimate of over 000,003 bales —
Several weeks since wc expressed the opiuiun
that the emp nf tha proscut year would uot ex
ceed 2,100,000 bales, and all our subsequent in
formation has hut tcoJud to cuufirin the impres-
tlon then cn'orlniucd. In this wo ditler aunie-
what with tho anlhnrof the article to which we
refer, end we else think he has mode too high an
estimate of the quantity which will be received
from Iutlin. Wo fully concur with him, however,
that tho present enhanced prices of cotton are per-
b inorable tnil_ than fectly legitimate; and we also believe that, with

Dkccmdxr 13.
The Senate tiict purtnant to adjournment.
Mr. Purse gave notice, that nl a proper time be
would move to recousidor so much of the journal
as related to the resolution from the House pro
posing a recess, which in due little the Senntur ful
filled. Several Seuators discucssed the measure
with much zeal. Messrs. Clark, Murphy, Woods,
Napier, Miller, nud A. E. Browu, were lit favor of
a reconsideration and violently opposed to n re
cess. Mr. Bruwu, iu a leugthy speech, tail that
he saw no reason for the movemeut. That the
people would hold Seuators to an accmiul for the
measure. That Senator*’ minds would be dis
tracted by the aecular concerns at home, and that
it would require much time to discipline them to
legislative action agnio, on their return. That as
the previous questiou bad beeu called upon them
the day before, and all discussion hnd been barred,
he hoped the reconsideration would be hud. Mr.
Murphy also held tho same doctrine. He had a
resolution to ofier, touching the merits of tho cate,
aud saw no use in such consternation about our
federal relations. Geulhmen could chime iu to
the criais-cry, he perceived, with much gusto,
when it suited their peculiar inclinations—that
they had taken a peculiar trepedatitm within a day
or two, aud were disposed strougly to the previ
ous question. Tho Senator proceeded to expose
the true secret and object of the resolution; that ,lx
it was Jvatu ferentes dona, aud woulj bo wrung
upon the party now iu power, at tho next canvass.
Dr. Smith disclaimed auy such motive on the part
or his side of tho House—that so far as ho was
concerned, he looked upon the resolution iu a ve
ry different light, and believed it necessary nnd or
the present eminently critical stato of affairs al
Washington, as good ground for a recess—that be
apuke for oue, aud believed that federal encroach-
meuta had reached the vltama Untie-*-that it would
he proposed to admit California as a State uuder
its present constitution, and that Southern ineu’s
mind* should he ready fur the event. He would
stand or fall by llio rejection of that constitution,
formed a* it was by a mongrel convention of ali
en* and niulnltnea—that lie believed llml the busi-
uest warranted Iho recess, and that he was uot a-
I'raid lo go home iu the face of the fiict*. Mr, Clark
made some very appropriate remarks against the
recess. Mr. Long replied iu a spirited hut abort
speech. Mr. Love was o| opinion that Seuators
were ^uecessarily alsruied about the way in
whicheKeir constituents would take the move
ment—that though it was uew, yet men were rea
sonable, aud that they could seo the necessity as
well a* themselves. The ouusual amount of le
gislation, aud alill accumulating—the necessity for
many members beiug at homo at the first of the
comiug year, such as guardisos, executors aud ad
ministrators, aud above all, uo one could toll what
would be developed iu a low weeks at Washing-
tuu. Mr. Miller aaid. any neresaily of the sort
Inst alluded to, could be met by the Governor,
who was empowered and required to call au ex
tra session when circumstances demanded it.—
The debate would perhaps have been protract
ed to a greater leugth, had the friends of the
movemeut coterlaiurd any doubt, but they had
counted nose* aud were content tu let tho
Senators " tako on ” as much at their constituent
necessities required. The vote was then taken to
recoutider, sud was yeas 20, nay# 24—so tho mo^,
lion was lost.
Mr. Love reported n bill to pardou Jonathan
S tad still, ol the county of Lowndes.
Mr. Byrau.n hill to amend an act to incorporate
the tewu of Cuinmiug in the county of Forsyth,
approved 27th Dec. 1845, so far as to repeal the
4ih section thereof, sud all other parts of said act
authorizing the assessment of a general tax un the
citizeusuf said towu.
Some other acts of no importance were passed,
among them a bill iu relation to public ofiicer* and
punishing offenders iu relation thereto. This hill
provides that in all case* iu which tbo Superior
court shall decide opon writ qtiu warranto or man
damus, any person exercising or claiming to exer
cise auy office lo which lie may have beeu elect
ed, appointed or commissioned, is uot entitled to
such office, and that the other of the parties is en
titled; the order sud judgment of the Court shall
be full authority and commission to exercise the
duties of the office, the party giving the required
bond aud security.
Also, a bill to secure to the Rock Island Factory
Company or Muscogee certain privileges, aud tu
legalize the buihliug ot a dam or dams across
the Chattahoochee uu their own laud, with an n-
mend meat to the effect that uolhing iu this act
should he coustm.d so as to deprive tho heirs of
Jumes Cook, ornuy person or persons of any right
they may possess ou said river aud water privi
leges.
Mr. Joseph E. Browu, from the Select Commit-
toe, mjde the following report on the subject of
legislation ou the Temperance question:
The Select committee to whom was referred the
bill to be entitled an act to incorporate the Grand
Div'uiou of the Sous of Temperance of tho State
of Georgio, beg leavo to re|wrt that they have had
tbu same uuder consideration, nml that they are of
opinion that the bill ought not to pass. Your Com
mittee believe that tho sous of Temperance are
doiug great good in Georgia, aud that they have
the tamo right to ask fur nud enjoy corporate pri-
leges that any olhe^iumed society hns, but your
Committee, o majority of whom aro Sons of Tem-
perauce, knowing the great prejudico that exists
in this State agaiust the Order, and feeling couti-
tion is to depend fur its success upou its iuborent
taoral influence, snd carefully to avoid every and
all man tier of attempt at legislation on the subject
of temperance.

support ofg-i veru tneol tor the years 1850 and 1851,
and I am directed to briug the same forthwith to
the Senate.
Mr. A. J. Miller introduced a bill to amend tbe
act incorporating the Bauk of Brunswick.
The Joint Committee on the State of tbe Re
public are bolding frequent meetings, nnd with
two or three exceptions are unanimous iu refer-
euce to their report, and 3‘*° 30', or fight, is the
doctrine bold almost to a man. The tempest is
ready to hurst, aud wheu Ihtt Committee do re
port, the fire of Southern eluqtieuce will hlnzo
forth with «u indignant and nugry splendor, like
tbe Hashes which precede the coining bluet. The
itmalgum is ready, aud noon will the distinction*
which at present divide oar State, be merg
ed into oue all-absorbing doctrine of resist
ance to federal eucroaclinieut.
The House met pursuant lo adjournment.
Ou rooiiou, tbe House suspended the call of
counties, and went iuto Committee or the Whole,
Mr. Carlton in the CUiir. and reported back the

House or Bxfrxsextxtivxs, Dec. 18.
1 have a word to any iu relereuco to a hill intro
duced by Mr. Walker of Richmond, a few days
ago exeuiptiugone uogro from levy and sale. Ou
motion of Mr. Walker,this bill was mado the order
of the day. ou the 14th iust. Mr. Walker, gave*
plaiuly aud distinctly his reasous for introducing
thebill.thnt Uiscbief object was to interest all class
es of people, ou that subject which now seems to
concern the Southern people more lhau all others
to wit: tbe slavery question, bo further sluted -tha 1
it would he an iuceutitive, to induce persons iu
limited circumstsuccs tu be active iu accjmriug
proporly tlml would he secured tu them sud thoir
fiiMily, uuder tho mustextruordiiisry vicsisitudes.
He believed that it would be wise state policy to
coutruul by Ibis law, a general iutorest, iu our do
mestic institutions and it would likewise be
beuevoleul Legislation.
Mr. McDougal. was much opposed to the bill,
had however heretofore beeu iucllnet! to its sup.
purl, hut bis views.bad undergone a change, and
be frankly uiude the avowal and preceded, as be
always does, t s give bis reasons with uiucb|zeol aid
euergy.
Mr. Jones, likewise addressed the House in op
position to tho bill, the ground of his argument, was
that be did not want to buy tbo people, to support
tbeir institutions, that they would do it voluntari
ly, he hsd confidence iu the tcoolkal barefooted popu
lation they wore tho bulwarks of ourcuuntry mid
its liberty, und if you pass this law our Northern
a humane and benevolent spirit of Legislation
which bo never would repulse, and ho believed
further there was political wisdom, iu connecting
our population ns far ns possiblo with this vital nud
important instituth-n of tho South, ho said
however his chief object was not, to become the
enthusiast, or defendent of the bill, but. to protest
against tbo policy ol this House,in precipitating tho
defeat of a measure Iry tbe question of indefinite
postponement Mr. W. said that whenever a bill
was introduced iuto this House.nsking to encorpo-
ato a Rail Road, or to establish a Bank, to sub.
scribe State Stock, to any internal improvement,
the bill is ordered to be printed and 150 copies
presented on the desk of members, with till docu
mentary evidence, if nuy to give the question a
statesman like view, that Legislation may he wise
dignified and efficient; but when you present a
question, operating upou the more dependant class
of tho agriculturalists, foreign matter is introduced
designed to secure its defeat. This was not the pol
icy. Thebill upon the table, hns its merits and de
merit* and it has been advocated, in and out of this
House for the moral and political inHuencies.it pos.
scssed.nnd it is tbe only bill introduced into this bo
tty thissessiun.that might beconsidered the least an-
tagnnislical to tbe monopolising spirit that has per
vaded this assembly.
Tho House met pursuant to adjournment.
Tbe Committee ou the State of the Repnhlic
reported the following preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, tho present state of tljo controversy
between the non-slave bolding and slave holding
States, involving the disorganized condition of tbe
national legisluture (one of its legitimate fruits)
powefully admonishes the slave holding State* to
look well to their highest interests ; aud whereas,
it is important that the Geueral Assembly ill con
vening niter tiie recess, be informed upon reliable
authority of tho theu existing state of things at
the capital:
Jlesolvc.1, That we, the Representatives of the
Feoplu of Georgia, beiug divided ill parties tljxni
federal polities, solemly declare that ou the vital
question we kuow no party disiinelion*, and that
we recognize all men North anil South who will

aud them oulv, us firm political friends and allies.
llesolred. That bis Excellency tne Governor be
requested In institute, during tbe recess, n corres
pondence with each of our Senators and Repre
sentatives iu Cong ret i, inviting from each of them
a communication of such fact* relative to saidcou-
troveray coming to b s knowledge at the sent uf

Mr Jones laid upon tho table a resolution in re
ference to tbe actiuu of Mississippi iu calling a
Southern Convention in the event of the passage
uf the Wilmot Fruviso by Congress.
December 19.
Tbe Sennte met pursuant to adjournment, aud
went into business with energy, the reading of
House hills occupied a large part of the forenoon
und afternoon session. The clerks in the Senate
have beeu very much taxed fur a few days, with
engrossing, journalizing ami enrolling duties. Iu
the afternoon a discussion sprang up on the Report
of the committee on thb State of tho Republic.
Messrs. Bailey of Butts, Murphy, Fursc, Brown
of Clierokee.Milier.au’l J- R- Smith,participated in,
tbe discussiou. Mr. Baiiv was particuluily happy
in his remarks, in opposition to that danse, which
made it tbe duty of the Governor tu correspond
with our Representatives
Mr. Joseph E. Browu (rum the 41 l Senatorial
District, laid on the table, the following preamble
aud resolutions:
Whereas. The IIou Thomas Butler King, it is
reported, has resigned liis scut as the Kcpr, sedative
of the first Congressional District ol the State of Ueor
gia iu the, Cuugress of the liuited Slates. Aud
whereas, from the public prints, it appears that in
California, he has hy public speeches been urging the
residents in that territory, to organize a state govern
ment iu saiil territory, iudircctly if not directly, alleg
ing that he represented the views and feelings uf the
cabinet at W ashiugton. Aud whereas also, it appears
that he is busily seeking a seat in the Uuitcd States
Sennte as a representative from California, and umlcr
a Constitution which excludes the South from an
equ-.lparticipation in the privileges ofa Territory,
purchased iu part by her blood nud Treasure.
Be it therefore Resolved, by the Senate aud House
of Itoprcteutsti vet of Georgia, iu Geueral Assembly
aict.
1st. That io the estimation of this Genera] Assem
bly, it is derogatory to theulinrncter of aoy southern
mau aud especially of a southern Representative in
Cougress. to advocate upon her own soil, the admis
sion of California into the Union aa a tree state, aud
still more derogat ory to such an individual tu accept
a seat iu the n&tiuual councils, purchased bv moral
treasou to that portion of the Uniou, that has hitherto
fostered liiw, nud extended to him her confidence.
Sd. That the conduct of Mr. King -iu Iris reported
Speeches in California.and in offering hiinscif as a
candidate to represent her in the Senate of thcUnion
after she had adopted a Constitution iinhibiting al ive-
ry, meets the unqualified disapprobation of this Geu-
erul Assembly.
3d. That his Excellency the Governor be requested
to communicate to tins General Assembly, copies of
any correspondence he may have had with Mr. King,
since bis departure, from Georgia to c aliioruin.
Tiie Semite met at 7 o’clock, pursuant to ad.
journmout. wheu a very warm debate ensued up
on Mr. J. E. Brown’s resolution expressive of the
disapproval and reprobation of Mr. T. B. King’s
conduct in connection wi tli tbe California Consti
tution, anJ upon these were tbe first evidences uf
party acerbatton. Mr. Browu.in a well directed
speech, denounced his traitorous desertion of
those who ii-ul elevated him irom obscurity
tu honor aud fume, and among whom from
destitution he had risen to cQlueoce. Mr. Miller,
would uot condemn a mao ou newspaper testi
mony, the veriest criminal in die country was en
titled to a fuir trial, Mr. King hud promised to ex
plain himself before the people of this State, and
he wanted more light before he passed seutouce.
Mr. Bruwu, said the Senator from Richmond,
a few days since was in favor ol nu amend
ment to a resolution fiom the House, which
was founded uu newspaper testimony (referring
to Mr. M’s offering Mr. Love’s presjuble and res
olution to ndjouru, to take a recess for ihut which
came from the House, because it set forth more
fully tbu state of affairs at Washington) hut now
that it did uot suit him he was opposed to such
teslimouy. Did he have any other testimony theu?
Mr. Miller, said he had a letter from a friend iu
Washington. Mr. U. but did you havo any other
testimony then, did you have that letter theu. Mr.
M. I did. Mr. Brown said the Senator appears
to have had other testimony. But Sir, I was nut
prepared to see geutlemeu resist this movement,.
I supposed llmt tiie opiuiun was iiuuuiuiuus to rep
rebate Mr. Kiug’scouduct. Mr. Murphy next ad
dressed tbe Senate, he said Mr. King’s expatria

[CORRESPONDENCE OF THE GEORGIA TELEGRAPH.]
WAGIIINGTOT, Dec. 17.
The 8ptakershfp~» c «Ii(ion-the Whig
Delegation of Georgia—A Flarcup, Arc.

tatives. When one will ho elected, nobody bat
tho most distant idcaT} Every kind of proposition
has been made looking to a compromise between
tbe two great parties, aud voted down. A com
mittee or conference was brought forward to-day,
nnd laid on the table by a majority of one vote.—
The members themselves ore fatigued; there bare
been more than fifty efforts to elect. They can
not draw their mileage anti per’dirm without n
Speaker, because the money is paid on his rsqni-
sition. ’vThere is no indisposition to eject; all aro
nnxions, off? neither great pnrty will give in, and
the Free Suiters stick out. • This contemptible mi
nority want things their own way. We would be
willing to lose a' Democratic Speaker if the.two
great parlies would only crush them by effecting
organization independently of them^ This will
be done, probably; at least, in the fog.bttsiness,
this is a hope that affords a slight degree of com.
fort. - Amid tbe dullness of voting, there have oc
casionally been little out-bursts calculated to
break the monotony;
/You have doubtless heard, ere this, of tbe double
g.TOe attempted to lie played off by n member
from ludiana, Mr. William J. Brown. Last week,
lie wns astonished to see gentlemen voting for
him ns Speaker, and trefnbled violently for fear
.that ho would not be elected, while hope that he
trould, hud made him n tattler. In iqiagiuatioii,
he was already llie third .officer.of the Geueral
Government, and was nt the head of the Repre
sentatives of twenty millions of people,’drawing
sixteen dollars a day', sitting prominent, under a
crimson drapery, ou a cushioned seat! But twit
votes ouly were required for his election. Wil-
m<ii withdrew his name as a candidute, and voted
for him; and old Mr. Giddidgs came to the rescue;
and Allen of Mnssachusotts, aud Preston. King, of
New Yolk followed the example. This was
enough to make Southern nien suspect foul play,
and several Democrats withheld tbeir voles from
Mr. Brown, aud happily prevented an election.—
Astonishment possessed all minds, because it was-
confidently expected that every Democrat would
support Mr. Browu. Messrs. Ashman and Stanley,
Whig*, the oue from Massachusetts, the oilier from
North Carolina, were the first to intimate that there
was “something rutten iu Denmark,” and -bat
rumor bad said something nbout a correspon
dence between’the Free Soilers and Mr. Brown.
Culls were mado lor copies of it, mid tbe uuxiely
had to be gratified. The story, in brief, turned
out to be this: that Mr. Wilmot bad culled upou
Mr. Brown, and asked him. how be intended to
constitute tbe committees ou the Territories, the
District of Columbia, and tiie Judiciary. Mr.
Brown replied, “iu a manner sitisfactory to you
mid your friends,” (the Fiee Soilers.) Wilmot
went away, and had a talk with his Free Soil friecds
aud they said that if Brown would put this down
iu writing they would go for liiin. Brown did put
■ his iu writing, and added, further, although not
asked to do so, that, he represented a Iree const:
luency, aud was against the farther extension of
slavery, and that slavery ought to be abolished
wherever there is a constitutional power to re
strain it. This was in effect, asset ting that Con-
gross ought to ahoiish slavery iu the District of
Columbia, for Brown believes on Ibis subject,
with Kiudcriiook Van Buren. The Southern men
till u stated that to l-e satisfied with Browu they
asked him bis views ou the slavery question, and
tlnrt he had pointed them to his votes and epecc-hes
four year* ago, whet* lie was u member of. Cou
gress. These made him. in tiie Imigiuige of Judge
Bayly, “appear to be a fair mau " Itisceitiin
that he played a doable game. Everybody, hot
two of bis immediate frieuds from InJ iatta, con-
denir.ed him; mid wheu the Hume again voted he
did not receive a single vote ?7 Thos was the sen!
of condemnation stamped oifTlits man who had not
learned from the scripture* lo “he sure thu> his
sills would find him out.
It has heretofore beeu stuted that Messrs. Ste
phett* Gwen, aud Toombs refuse to vole for Mr.
Wiuthrop. and that they threw their votesaway
ou Mr. Gentry, of Tennessee, who has not yet nr
rived to take his seat. Well, these gentlemen ait!>_
seqnetiily- changed for Mr. Morehead, Mr. Cabell,
of Florida, and Mr. Merton, of Virginia standing
square up with them. At the commencement of
the last Congress, Cube)!, Stephens, and Toombs
voted for Mr. Wiuthrop, and why did they uot d
so now?. Nothing is against Mr. Wiuthrop note
(lint was uot agiiinst him theu. They too voted to
lay on the table tiie Compromise bill to settle the
riuvery question io the acquired Territories. This
was to leave the exciting question open for politi
cal purposes; for Mr. Wintbrnp und bis frieuds nt
tbe North, aud Stephens pud his friends nt the
South, each claimed different things lor General
Taylor, one said that he would sign a hill embrac
ing tbe Wilinot Fruviso, and the other that the
s .nth could trust him better than they coulJ Gen
era! Cass, who had promised nou-ioteifereuee.^-
Well, the Whigs “sowed the wind and they ure
now reaping the whirlwind.” Mr. Toombs refused
to vote for caucus the candidate t f iho Whig mem
bers unless they gave some expression agaiust the
JVihnot Proviso. This they would not do: hence
he and his four frieuds would uot vote for Mr. Win
tlwop. Lust week, Toombs and Stephens made
eloquent appeals about Southern rights, and de
clared for disouioa if the North should continue
its aggressions; and other geutlemeu were as en
ergetic-in their oratory. Members of the North
expatiated uu Union, aud did uot believe that there
was unydangerof a dissolution of the Union. Both
setsof Speakers were applauded by those from the
respective sections. There was, fora time a gen
eral row. Mr. Duer, a Whig, ol New York, point
ed out Mr. Aleude, ufVirgiuiu, as a disutiiotiist.—
Mr. Meade said that’the churge was false, and
Mr. Duer bluntly called him “a liar.” Mr. Meade
rushed towards Mr. Duer, but was prevented from
approaching him. by tbu intervention of frieuds.
The storm soon died, a way. and we believe that
no serious effects will follow.
The west end, where the President lives, is still
qniet, the Secretaries are lying ou iheiroars, wait
ing for Congress. The Message is printed and the
sheets literally dry. It will contniu nothing new
by the time it is seul iu to Cougress.

It is worthy of note, that Clingman took occ*.

the latter, aud to pledge liis Stale to similar posi

WASHINGTON. Dec. IS, 1S49.
During tho whole of the exciting scene of
Thursday, in the House, Mr. Cfay sat beneath uiy
desk, almost within my reach, aud I assure you
his bearing throughout tho exciting proceedings
was to me a subject of as much iuterusl ns the fu*
riotis storm progressing. Hardly a muscle ot his
expressive count nuance moved during the most
furious hour. There he sat with eyes iuteully fix*
j ed upon the combatants, (lie speakers on either
side. They gave out ever and anon such expres
sions of heartfelt sorrow, mingled with approba
tion here, disneul there, with sympathy for his
country as u whole, aud with anxious aud gloomy
forebodings as the ©yea alone, of no oilier living
Americuu can exp rest. Though, as radically op
posed to hid views of public policy a» any oilier
man iu the Uuiou, 1 have ever regarded Mr. Clay
as a true patriot, every inch of him. Though
