SOUTHERN SENATORS "When the resolutions of the New York Legis lature denouncing slavery, and demanding that it shall be restricted to its present limits, were laid before the Senate of the U. S., on the ques tion being taken whether they should be printed or not, there were but.five Senators from slave holding States, out of 30, who could vote against printing them. Those five took the right view of the matter ; and the vote of Mr HANNEGAN of Indiana, (a. free State) against printing them, ought to have made those southern Senators who voted for the printing, feel rather cheap. The resolutions were, as MrYulee pronounced them, an insult to the slaveholding States ; and we have not the slightest doubt, were so intend ed. And yet but five southern Senators were found to vote against mrking the Senate print them, and thus pay for the circulation of matter insulting towards their constituents ! These resolutions say that " it would be unjust to the people of New Mexico and California, and revolting to the spirit of the age, to permit do mestic slavery to be introduced among them." This is in effect saying to the slaveholders gentlemen, in holding slaves, you are guilty of a practice " revolting to the spirit of the age." We feel very certain that northern Senators would not have voted to print such language as that in resolutions applied to any of their institu tions. But the reason given for printing was, that they were the resolutions of a sovereign Slate., and the Senate never had before refused to print resolutions from a State Legislature. Ergo a sovereign State has a right to insult an other sovereign State, or a dozen others, and they must not only quietly pocket the insult, but pay for the promulgation of it ! We have looked at this matter deliberately, and read the debate, and cannot but condemn every southern Senator who voted to print those reso lutions. . Although we last Saturday gave the names of those who had the nerve to vote right against printing we must name them again, for they deserve naming. They are as follows : Messrs Borland of Ark., Davis of Miss., Downs of La.,Fit.patrick of Ala., YuleeofFla. HANNE GAN of la. 30TH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. For proceedings of the t"2d. see 2d page.J January 23. In the Senate, Mr Foote again used up Judge McLc-in of Ohio. We mentioned a few days ago, that Mr Foote had severely and justly censured Judge McLean of the Supreme Court of the U. States, for his penchant for writing political let ters, in one of which he said very plainly, with out saying so in the exact words, that the Presi dential candidates (Genls. Taylor and Cass) were mere " political prize-fighters." In another let ter he said that the Mexican war ought to be brought to a close speedily, and if by no other means, by stopping the supplies. In another letter he gave his opinion upon the question (then pending in Congress) whether slavery could be carried to the new territories. This speech of Mr Foote brought Justice Mc Lean to hi feet : and he published a card in the National Intelligencer, in self-defence, in which he denied the two first named charges ; but Mr Foote produced his published letters in the Se nate, a"hd proved that he did use language which had the meaning he attributed, according to plain and fair construction. Mr Cor win replied to Mr Foote, but the most he did was to praise the Judge. Senator Foote is a good debater ready, sound and logical. The bill to establish reciprocity of trade be tween Canada and the U. States was discussed. Mr Dix made a long speech, of no particular in terest to 'IS. In the House, Gen. McKay gave notice that he should introduce a bill to authorize the coinage of gold dollars. The House was engaged in discussing and amending the civil and diplomatic appropriation bill, which was finally passed. January 24. In the Senate, Mr Douglas's substitute for the bill to admit California as a State, was referred to a select committee appointed by the Chair, as follows : Messrs Douglas of 111., Johnson of Md., Jones, Clayton, Davis of Miss., Badger and Niles. The Senate then resumed the bill to reduce postage and establish uniform rates. Mr Allen of Ohio, st renuously advocated the amendment to allow newspapers to go 50 miles from the office of publication without postage. Mr Niles re plied very eflectually to Mr Allen, and opposed the amendment. No action taken. In the House, the proceedings were of no in terest. January 25. In the Senate, the whole day was spent in dis cussing and deciding upon private claims. In the House, the Army Appropriation Bill was discussed. Mr Thompson. of Indiana, made a conciliatory speech on slave, j. January 26. In the Senate Mr Appleton presented the re solutions of the Legislature of New-Hampshire against the extension of slavery in the new Ter ritories, and the slave trade in the District of Columbia. The bill granting the right of way to the Atlantic Gulf Railroad was passed. The pri vate bill for the relief of Dawson and others, creditors of Texas, was disevssed, after which the Senate went into Executive session. In the House, the resolution empowering the Judiciary Committee to send for persons and pa pers relative to charges against Judge Conklin, of the Northern district of New-York, was dis cussed and postponed, and sever: ' private bills passed. N. J. LEGISLATURE. For proceedings of the 10th, 20th. fid 22d. see 2d page. Tuesday, January 23, 1849. SENATE. The engr ossed bill from the Senate to incorporate Rock Spring Tent. No. 180, 1. O. O. It. in Wilmington, passed its se cond and third reading. . The Senate took up the bill to amend the Constitution, the question being on its passage. The Yeas and Nays were called for three-fifths of the senators being ne cessary for its passage. Ayes 25, Noes 49, not three-fifths- So the bill was re jected. The senate then resumed the Contested Election case from Orange, and Mr McRae resumed his argument in behalf of the sitt ing member, and concluded. Mr Gilmer then -proceeded to address the senate in reply to the counsel for the sitting member. The further consideration of the question was postponed until 3 o'clock to-morrow. The senate then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. Mr Satterthwaite presented a "protest" signed by himself and Messrs Edward Stanly, John Y. Hicks, and D. F. Cald well, protesting 6 ' against the vote9' by which the majority of the House of Com mons passed the slavery resolutions; which resolutions were Mr Dobbin's substitute for Mr Steele's resolutions on the same subject. The resolutions as passed by the Legis lature, were published in this paper, sev eral weeks ago. Their substance is as follows : That the subject of slavery was maturely considered in the formation of the Constitution ot the V. States, and that that instrument gives ample guarantees of the rights of the slaveholder; that the con stant aggressions on the rights of the slave holder, oy certain reckless politicians, are causes of rlarm, and the recent proceed ings of Congress on the subject are fraught with mischief ; that the enactment by Con gress of any law upon the principle of the VVTilmot proviso, would be unconstitution al; that while the south will not concede tiie constitutionality of such a Taw, yet, for the sake of peace and union, the south will agree that slavery may be prohibited in the territoiies recently acquired, upon the basis of the Missouri compromise line. Such were Mr Dobbin's resolutions Mr Satterthwaite and his three saellites, pro test: first that the name of North Caro lina has been usurped to denounce aggres sions, which are not enumerated, and to reprobate certain politicians who are not named, and to intimate a forcible resist ance to certain acts of Congress should such acts ever be consummated. . Second that the North Carolina Legislature was not elected to revise the proceedings of Congress, nor to denounce other portions of the confederacy; but that whenever re monstrances are made, her warnings should be spoken out plainly and not in unmean ing generalities Third that the said re solutions first assert " that Congress has no power to prohibit the extension of slav ery," and next declare, acquiescence in said prohibition, provided the-south are not by such acquiescence to be considered as ' conceding to Congress the power to do it!" which the said protestants declare to be a plain absurdity." Fourth that " if Congress does possess the power to prohibit slavery, Mr Dobbin's second reso lution is false; and if Congress have no such power, then the second proposition is a recommendation to Congress to violate the constitution''! Fifth that the pro testants protest against the vote of the majority because the siid protestants are unwilling to give encouragement to 'cer tain reckless politicians' of the south as well as the north." Sixth they protest because all such resolutions are useless, &c. &c. &.C No action was taken upon the protest. The order of the day, the bill to establish a Plank Itoad from Fayetteville to Salisbury was taken up. Mr Williams of New Hanover oflfered on amendmendinent, which was adopted, Ayes 45, Noes, 44. The order, the Bill for the relief of the Wilmington and Raleigh Railroad, was next taken up. Mr Rayner oflfered an amendment which he advocated at length. He was replied to by Messrs Mebane, Stauly, Thigpeu, and Dobbin. Mr D. had not concluded his remarks when the House took recess. Rigid Session. Mr Rayuer called up the Bill concern ing a convention to amend the constitution of the State. Several amendments were offered to the Bill, but they were all rejected. The question was then taken on the pas sage of the bill, and a maj. having voted in the affirmative, the Speaker decided that the bill had passed its 2d reading. The decision of the chair was appealed from, and on this question the House was addressed by Messrs Stanly, Rayner, Dob bin, Mebane, Clement and Mosclv. Before the question was taken" on the appeal, the House adjourned. Wednesday, Jan. 24. SENATE, The senate then took up and considered the message from the House in relation to adjourning sine die on the 29th, h;ch was concurred in, Ayes 42, Noes 4. Mr Murchisou called up the bill to incor porate Fayetteville and Salisbury Plank Road Company, which was read the second time, and passed. Ayes 22, Noes 20 the vote not being considered a test. Mr Worth called up the bill for the im provement of Cape Fear and De op rivers, which was read the second time. The Charlotte and Danville B iilroad bill was offered by Mr Bower, ? an amend ment to this bill. The senate took recess. Afternoon Session. The Contested Election case from Orange comingup, Mr Speight moved to lav the whole subject on the table, winch he after wards withdrew. Mr Lillington was opposed to this mode of evading a decision upon this subject. If gentlemen are disinclined to go into this investigation, they should not seek to shift the responsibility upon the fast escaping time which remains of the session. The subject has been under consideration for a long time, the committee have been en gaged in a laborious investigation of it for three weeks and we are to- be told now that no decision is to be had, and one mem ber actually proposes to lay it over beyond the period of the session, to the 4th of March, by which the claims of justice will be defeated- ,Mr L. went on in an earnest and animated manner to press for a decision of iL! ! 1 I. tins case, anti, in conclusion, tnoveu to postpone the matter until 3 o'clock on Friday, to give time for members to come to a decision. The motion prevailed, Ayes 23, Nays 21. A number of private bills passed then second and third reading. The Cape Fear and Deep River bill was then taken up, and Mr Bower withdrew his amendment being the Charlotte & Danville Road bill, 'lhe bill passed its second reading, Aves 25, Nays 15 no test. The Charlotte and Danville Road bill then passed its second reading, Ayes 23, Nays 18, no test.

Mr Pigott offered an amendment to 2d sect, excepting vessels under 20 $ons bur then adopted. Mr Farrow offered an amendment to tax every road-wagou $3 00 rejected.

Person to the amendment offered bv Mr Rayner, to the 11th section of the Bill for the relief of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rai road; which, af ter some remarks from Messrs Person, Williams and Stevenson, was rejected. The question then recuning on the amendment of Mr Rajner, was decided in the negative Yeas 42, Nays 50- Mr Rayner then moved to strike out of the 11th section the following words, im mediately preceding the proviso of said section, viz: which it is hereby declared and enacted shall be preferred to the mort gage and pledge to be executed under the previous provisions of this act : and all such other mortages and pledges as may have been heretoiore executed by said Company, to secure the Slate against its loss by reason of her endorsement for said Company, and n case of default by-said Company, the said mortgage so executed, shall be first satisfied, " which, after a discussion between Messrs Rayner, Barringer, and Caldwell, of Guilford for, and Messrs Stanly, Dobbin, Stevenson, Hayes, and T.

Leach moved a reconsidera tion of the vote just taken, pending the consideration whereof, after a debate be tween Messrs Leach, Satterthwaite, Mc Dowell, of Iredell, S,tatily, Rayuer and others, the House adjourned. Thursday, Jan. 25 SENATE. The bill to amend an act entitled an act incorporate the Hickory Nut Turnpike Company, was debated by Mr Miller for and Mr "Wood fin against, when the bill passed its second and third reading. Mr Ashe called un the bill to incorporate the Fayetteville Piank Road Company,, which was read the third time. Mr Thompson, of Wake, defined hi position. He was willing to go for the great Central Railroad but was unwilling to connect with it projects too cumbrou to be sustained he was willing that the Cape Fear navigation bill should accom pany it. but they must have more. All these were.secondary in importance to the Central Railroad, and he was unprepared to vote upon them and moved that thi bill lie upon the table, and be made the order for 1 1 to-morrow. Mr Woi th was of opinion that the fate of one of these bill depended upon another, aud he could see no use in delay, if they are to pass, let the question be taken ; if they are to fail let them go. He hoped the motion would not prevail. Mr Thompson made a brief rejoinder, when Mr Wood fin took the floor. He wished to iusist that this bill be not post poned. Can we not vote for this, with a confidence that gentlemen would vote for others. He was willing to vote for this bill now, and then he proposed to take up the central bill and pass that Mr Thompson witndrew his motion, and the bill Passed, Ayes 22, Noes 19.
