States, although it is manifest that the con trol over the majority or the House is gradually giving wav. Asa |root of this, the project of •substituting Blair for Gales nml Seaton as prin ters to the House, is abandoned, although Blair gave n dinner to tho doubtful and discon tented members. The Telegraph of this morning contains nn extract of a letter written by a Mr. Yanderpool, of Kindcrhook, complaining that the Southern members will not draw in the traces. It pro duced a decided sensation in both Houses, and one of the Southern members who has heretofore been considered a collar man, said that they would find that the South would not only think end act independently, but that they would s peak 60. As to the Presidential contest, it is now ob vious thai there is a contest going on betwe en C-lay, Jo nson of Kv. McLean tmd Cass, as to which shall become the competitor with Van Buren for the Northern interest, and l shall not bo surprised if in this contest tjiere should spring up a competition in favor of the South. We have staked all upon the issue made on the force bill —we cute not who is President, so long as that odious badge of slavery hangs over us, and our suppoit cannot be given to any one who give* it bis countenance or support. Be not surprised to hear that, finding this a point on which the South will become united, Mr. Van Buren’s forces join in the repeal.—There arc indications. Either Vanßuren or Clay can carry the repeal, and if one goes font, the other can not oppose it without a sacrifice of all the chan ces for the Presidency. But apart from the in lluen c which these considerations would have, the state of public opinion at the Noith is be coming more and more favorable to a repeal of ell measures which tend to embitter the South egainst tho North—to serve as a rallying point for Southern feeling. They understand well (bat if the South id unilrd, her men and her tncasmes mist prevail, and therefore the pol icy of her politicians is to divide the South, an i hence the entire patronage of the Government to given to those unworthy sons of the South i wfeo arc false to the South, and to them only, Stevenson will go to England, if it is found j that they can elect a Speaker. Wayne, Polk, Sutherland and Speight are candidates!! Johnson of Kentucky is anxious to be a can- 1 didate for the Presidency, but he is using all Ins influence to get ou Van Buren's ticket for Vice Pr> sideßt. McKean, of Pensylvania, is decid ly opo-is’ i to Van Buren and decidedly it favor ‘ of McLean or of Cass. If McLan or (’ass is nominated with McKean or Gov. Marry of N. | Y. as a candidate for Vice President, th yv would form a strong ticket in the Northern States. T>o yoaask what weare t > do in a'l this hurly burly of politics, and in all this scuffle for office? I would say, urge on our principles. If our principles can be carried at all, it will be by pressing them n >w. We have no chance of electing a candidate unless we gain strength on our principles; and the surest way to carry our principles, is to keep them free from Presiden tial candidates for some time yet to come. So long as we arc in a position to bestow our tote, wo shall be courted for our votes. Yours, j The Abolitionists.— An Anti Slavery Con vention was recently held in Philadelphia. The states of Maine, New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New-York, New-Jersey, and Pennsylvania, were represented. The number of Delegates amounted to 61. The proceedings wero held in secret, and guards were stationed at the doors to keep out the citizens of Philadelphia at least such of them as were opposed to their infamous and seditious designs. The Conventionissued an influmatory “Dec. laration,” which teems with the rankest spirit of intolerance, bigotry and persecution.thut ever disgraced the darkest ages of Gothic ignorance und barbarity. Our limits only enables us to preseut the following, as some of the positions assumed by the “Declaration,” of these mis guised dangerous and infatuated men: “We shall organize Anti-Slavery Societies, if passible,-in every city, town, and village in our land. We shall send forth agents to lift upon the voice of remonstrance, of warning, of entreaty j and rebuke. We shall circulate unsparingly and oxtensive ly, anti-slavery tracts and periodicals. We shall enlist the pulpit and tbepress in the cause of the suffering and the dumb. We shall aim at a purificiation of the church es from all participation in the guilt of slave- j TV.” ’ 3J r .

Whereas there is a manifest tendency on the part ot the Federal Government, to usurp the Rights of the States of this Confederacy—a prostration of which would inevitably convert American liberty, into the most awful despotism —and for as much aa we believe Congress has airciuiy absolutely swept away tiw’- rights of the i States in the enactment of a Bill, commonly called the Force Bill; we feel it a paramount dutv incumbent on every patriot ami friend of liberty in this country, to lend his whole aid ere tiio tit, ’ for enforcing that despotic Rill, shall nrri/e—to arouse the people to a full sense ot their I'chts—lo admonish'hem in (he name ot liberty, to resist oppression, come whence it may, and to beseech them 10 remember that a continuance of our T’nioo and th blessings ot liberty, can alone be preserved by miintnining inviolate, the rights, and the Sovereignty of the States. ‘To that end therefore, we the freemen of Hall county, whose names are hereunder written, do agree to form an Association to he styled, the Hall county State Rights Association, and do further agree to adopt the following Consti tution for ihe regulation of tile same.

Alabama. —The following joint resolutions are before the Legislature of Alabama. We hope they will pass unanimaslv: Joint resolutions of General Assembly of the State of Alabama, in relation to the act passed at the last session of Congress, commonly de nominated “T/ic Force Bill.” Hesohcd by Ihe Senate and House of Repre sentatives oj the Slate of Alabama in General Assembly convened. That the act of congress passed at its last session entitled “An act, fur ther to provide for the collection of tux reven ue” commonly denominated the force bill, was inexpedient and uncalled for at the time, wholly unnecessary under any circumstances, and is inconsistent with the spirit of” our free institu tions, palpably unconstitutional and subversive of the rights of the people and the sovereignty of the State. Resolved, That we highly approve of the un animous and patriotic vote against the passage of said force bill, by the Senators and Repre sentatives in Congress from the State -of Ala bama. Resolved. That our Senators in Congress bo instructed, and our Representatives be re quested to demand its immediate repeal, and that our Senators be further instructed in the name of the State ot Alabama, to record ou the Journals of that body, a solemn protest against such a force bill as unconstitutional and dan gerous to the rights of the States and as distruc. live of the harmony of the Federal Union. Resolved, That the Governor of tnis State he ’ requested to forward;to each of our Senators and Membeis in the Congress of the United States, a copy of the foregoing Resolutions.— Savannah Republican. ’'Stick a pin Here." —The Charleston Ere. tnng Post, clearly and forcibly illustrates, iti the following paragraph the patriotic creed- of the Democratic Republican Union Consolidating Party. Don’t wince gentlemen, it is a matter of historical record:— “The Union Clark Party of Georgia, affirm that they-w ; II forever maintain the doctrines of Mr. Madison, as expounded by himself.” Very well gentlemen. Mr. Madison, in his Speech on the Federal Convention, thus expounds his doctrine, s; “Nome contend that the States are Soveiergn, when i fa t they arc only politicial societies. — There is a gradation of power in all societies from the lowest corporation to the highest so vereign. The Slates never possessed the es sential rights of sovereignty. These were al trays rested in Congress. Their voting as States m Congress is no evidence of sovereignty. The Slates ought to be placed under the control of the General Government, at least as much so as they formerly were under the King and British Parliament ! !” “Is not this exactly to the taste of the Pro clamationists,or Revolutionists (which ever they are) of this State ? Is it any wonder that these gei tlemen should object to an Oath of Allegi ance to the “politicial society” ol the State of South Carolina ?” Our distinguished representatives, Mr. Wilde, wc sue is made to ieel the weight of power, and I the smart of punishment for his want of faith in the absolute infallibility at head quarters. Our readers may not all be aware, that by the late changes in congress, Mr. Wilde is the old. est member on the committee of Ways and Means. Such is the fact, and yet, strange as it might seem in any other times than these, lie is overslaughed as they say in the army. Mr. Polk of Tennessee, a younger member is made chairman of that important committee in his stead, and Mr. Wilde thrust down into the sc. cond place. A plain man would naturally ask, why is this? Was it far want of talents? The nation knows better. It-is no disparagement of Mr. Polk to say, as the tael is, that Mr. W ildc is much the ablest man. Was it because ot any particular unaptness of Mr Wilde in mat ters of finance? - It happens to have been on such questions more perhaps than others, that Mr. Wilde has distinguished himself. Other causes of this insulting proscription in the face of the nation,may perhaps be found in Mr. Wilde having called on the household troops last ses. sion not to turn their back on Verplank’s Bill ; or in his being looked to as a fit occupant of the Speaker’s chair, which may still be vacant be. tore the end of the session. Mr. Wilde, more over, was guilty of opposing the Force’ Bill. Furthermore he stands opposed to the divine right principles of the proclamation, and goes the length of even susposing that the States, as such, may pro ect themselves from the swel ling tide of consolidation; and to heap still more shame upon his head, was out with Troup and Georgia in their old and now treaty campaigns; nor was wanting at his post, in the more recent’ Cassells and Missionary wa:s; and has not te. canted these heresies, nor in any other form has shewn himself eager to kiss the footstool of power. Surely, therefore, it was high time to cast him down from the station to which the continued confidence of the people of Georgia j had advanced him. It was time lo make him feel, and to cause the people of Georgia, through him, to know that much rank offences cannot be pardoned. vVe would have Mr. M ildc ab. dicatc no function that his fellow citizens have confided to him; but was he elected to be used thus?—Without undertaking to settle that ques. tion, it seems clear to us, that if be attends, the meetings and assists in the labors of a commit, tee, so constituted, he must make a sacrifice of personal feeling, to the public service, that will argue well for his philosophy aid patriot, ism.— Georgia Journal A Mournful Day. —Tuesday last will long be remembered in tho annals of Philadelphia On that day was holt) ft public meeting of hi r citizens in Independence Square! agreeably to notice, “ lor the purpose of taking into consid eration the existing pressure pervading all clas ses of the community.” It was one ol the lar gest assemblages of people ever convened in •his city, and far greater than the town meeting congregated in December last, to denounce the proceedings of South Carolina. On beholding this vast concourse of citizens we could not help reflecting with feelings of the deepest humiliation, that this was the first time that thousands had b en assembled together on the very spot, where, in 1776,the American Co lonies were declared to be “free, sovereign and independent States”—not for the purpose ot expressing their opinions upon the measures of their Government, in the spirit and lannuaim of freemen—not for the purpose of demandin' -* their rights—hut for the purpose of themselves isefore thethrone ofadespot.and supplicating his mercy, to liberate them from a distress which his usurpation of power had brought upon them. Yes, Philadelphians, such was your situation on that mournful and luimi bating day, and well may you say to each other as we heard one utter in bitterness of heart— “ Then 1 and you, and all of us fell down. Whilst Moody treason flourished over us.” Melancholy indeed must have been the re. flections of every one who has not lost the indc. pendence and spirit of a freeman, at the sight we refer to. No man dared to utter a syllable against the Author of the calamity under which the people were writhing. Every tongue was bridled, and tlv s was exhibited the degradirg spectacle, of a people believing themselves to be free, presenting themselves in the attitude of slaves. And why was this? For the simple reason, that an understanding existed amongst the leading promoters of the meeting, that not a word was to be said against the patriot Jack. son, for fear, no doubt, that if his anger should be kindled against the good citizens of Pbilndel. phia, lie would turn a deaf ear to their supplies, tions. From Monk’s Evening Star. Mr. McDuffie, a republican of the old school, who made a masterly speech in vindication of the Constitution and laws in a debate on the deposite question, is characterized by the New Yoik Standard,as thinking all the while of liar ing a knot undtr thelejl ear. It is thus, that every man and every journalist who feels the collar aiound his own neck is desirous of bring ing others into the same degraded and servile condition; and failing to do so,opens upon them the floodgates of detraction and abuse. Let members of Congress who are resolved to be fiee, and speak their minds freely, and thus savo their country, remember that the members of the old Continental Congress were stigmatized in a similar manner by the Tories, who in those times, acted precisely as the Tories are now dning, vis violating tho laws; violating private j tights; bringing distress on the country, and | then denouncing and proscribing these who dare’ !to comp'ain and petition for redress. Let them like the patriots and sages of our .evolution, stand firm, and they will bring the conspirators at their feet. From the same. The Trades’ Union will, soon have need of all their exertions and all their funds to support their brethern out of employment. In Philadel phia 1.500 are without work, and the evil will soon reach this district. A Voice from Virginia, The following no tice of a late Public Meeting at Richmond Whig of Friday last: fcj- POSTSCRIPT.—Wc stop the press to announce the assemblage on yesterday evenin'!, ofthe-inost numerous meeting of the People of Richmond ever known, called to express po pular feeling on the removal of the de posites, Chapman Johnson, Esq. was called to the Chair, when Mr. Benjamin Watkins Leigh, submitted a string of resolutions condemning, Unqualified, the Executive conduct in relation to the deposites, as illegal and unconstitutional, deprecating the dreadful consequences of that measure to the industry and prosperity of the whole country, and recommending their imme diate restoration as equally a measure of safety j and justice. * Ilis resolutions having been read Mr. Leigh addressed the meeting at huge, reviewing the conduct of Government, exhibiting its un-onsti tutionality and lawlessness, and depicting it? injustice and tyranny, in a strain ot lofty ami indignant eloquence, of which the meetinj showed its sens:-, by frequent and long contin ued applause. Ilis resolutions were then unanimoushj ad opted—a circumstance, the importance ot the occasion and the numbers in prcsance, consid ered, without precedent. Such is the temper of this City—such will, in a short time, be that of the entire Comqjoa wealth.
