commend it io' the attention of the reader. It expo

in the clearest point of view. AVe have repeatedly

We regard them as a series of aimless abstractions,
which hate " not eTen te Tnerit of being dangtrous,
as those of the Virginia Legislature may "well be re
garded. They are, a small party investment in the
i funds," as a, resource at the next election ; but tre
incline to believe that the stock will be. below-par
before that day arrives, and being their chief capital,
that the party trill be bankrupt. ' -w' . ,
The Virginia ResolQtions look tba "dissolution of
the Union, as the remedy in the. event of the adop
tion of the Wilmot Proviso, in forning Territorial
Governments for California and New Mexico We
understand this, though we highly disapproved it
H means some thiig, and" that 'something is made
known ; but the Resolutions of. our Legislature are
without definite! object : if nullification or secession
is regarded as the remedy, they should say so.
We see no more reason for dissolving" the Union
on account of the Wilmot Proviso in a California
bill, than there was last year on account of the same
Proviso in Mr. Polk's Oregon bill. Virginia elect
ed Mr. Polk, and sustained, and will sustain him to
the last as long as he has a crumb of patronage to
bestow; and now her Democratic demagogues, with
unparalleled effrontery, talk of dissolving the Union
unless his Wilmot proviso poliey is abandoned. We
do not mean to charge Mr. Polk. with, favoring the
exclusion of slavery from the Territories, but it is
undeniable, that he admits the Constitutional right
of Congresa to xelude it .After signing the Wil
mot Proviso, he could not raise his head in an intel
ligent company and deny it such - a course would
convict him of perjury ; and yet his supporters in
Virginia would dissolve the Union, if the Proviso
is again adopted in reference to other Territories.
it will be said that a portion of California is South
of the .Missouri Compromise line, and that Mr. Polk
would not hate sanctioned the Protiso as applicable
to that territory. But is the Missouri Compromise
a part of the Constitution t If the right to exclude
slavery is constitutional for one territory, is. it not
for all ? It will require the stupidity of a block
head, or the insincerity of a demagogue, to maintain
the. contrary; and we respectfully suggest to our
Democratic friends, not to attempt it, unless they
would be willing to figure inxne or the other of
these categories. ,
California and New Mexico, no more than Ore-
eon, are capable of becoming Slate States. This is
admitted, or rather boasted of, by Messrs. Buchan
an and C ass ; and Messrs. Walxek, of Mississip
pi, and President Polk concur in the same opinion
"all, of alt parties and see t ions, agree that Slavery
can never be extended there. It is therefore not. a
practical question. The passage of the Protiso will not
limit Slavery one inch, and its non-passage will not
extend the institution. Why then dissolve the
Union 3 We see no earthly reason for it, unless it
be to gratify Mr. Calhoun, and the Virginia poli
ticians of the '93 School, in tfieir dreamy abstrac
tions. We believe that M r. Calhoun has long med
itated a dissolution of the Union, and that many men
of the same views cherish the thought, like patriots
do its preservation. North Carolina should spurn
and trample on the treasonable scheme, She should
not only be free from guilt but above suspicion.
Politicians who have no higher motives to appeal to,
should remember the odium which attaches to the
Hartford Convention. If they would deprecate the
shame, let them avoid imitating the conduct, which
deserved it.
We. believe that there is no respectable portion
of-ihe Northern, people, who hate any purpose of
invading the Constitutional rights of the South.
There are doubtless a few fanatics there, crazy e
nough to conceive the idea, but their number is too
insignificant Jo excite alarm or apprehension. We
should as soon expect to see the Mormons or the
Shakers, the dominant 'sect of Christendom) as to
witness the triumph of the fanatical abolitionists o-'
ver the Constitution. We will not deny, that the
whole body of the Northern people, of etery, party,
are opposed, strongly opposed to Slatery and slave
ry extension and none are more so than; the Demo
cracybut men Of .all parties disavow uny purpose
of interfering, in the slightest degree, with slavery
in'the States. The right to exclude it from the ter
ritories they hold to be -within the power of the
Constitution and in favor of their construction, they
quote hot only the practice of the Government since
its foundation but the opinions of the ablest Jurists
and Statesmen of the Southern Country;
.Mr. Jefferson, the great Apostle' of Democracy,
is the author of the famous Wilmot Proviso ; and it
had the sanction of Mr. Madison "also. Both of
those Virginia Statesmen concurred in its expedi
ency and constitutionality ; and now-Virginia poli
ticians would oterthrow the Union, to prevent the
applicatioa ptthe.priiiciple to California. A few
Tears ago, it-was regarded by the? Democratic party
as political blasphemy to differ with Mr. 'J efferson ;
while now it is regarded as the touch-stone of pat
riotism to discard his most cherished maxims.

- .'.The digging and washing for gold continues to
increase oa tjie Sacramento placer, eo far as regards
the number of persons engaged' in the business and
the size' and qua&tit'y of the metal daily obtained.
I have had in my bands-several pieces of gold, about
twenty-three carats fine, weighing from one to two
pounds, and have it from good authority that pieces
have been found weighing sixteen pounds. ' Io'deed,
V have beard of specimens that Weighed rtrenty-five
pounds. There are many men at the.placerj wbo in
June last had not one hundred dollars, now in pos-
fihirt, or even a silver dollar, has beeO taken by an
Indian for gold without regard to size ; and a half to
oue ounce of gold say $3 to $16 is now consider
ed the price of a shirt, while from three to ten ouuees
is the price of a blanket, j One hundred dollars a day
for several days in succession, was and is considered
a common remuneration for the labor of a gold dig
ger, though few work oyer a month-at a time, as the
fatigue hv very great. Ffom July to October, one
half of the gold-hunters have, been afflicted either
With the ague and fever, or the intermittent fever,
and .twenty days' absence from the placet during
those months is necessary 10 escape these diseases.
There have not, however, been many fatal cases.
The gold is now sold, from the smallest imaginable
piece in size to pieces of one pound in weight, at $ 1 6
per troy ounce for all the purposes of commerce j but
those who are under the necessity of raising coin to
pay duties to the Government are obliged to accept
from $10 to $11 per .ounce. All the coin in Califor
nia is likely to be locked up in the custom-house, as
the last tariff of our Congress is in. force here in re
gard to the receipt of money.'

Tb.e Slave trade in the District of Columbia.
It appears that John Randolph, of Roanoke, pre
sented a Resolution for .abolishing the Slate trade in
the District of Columbia in the year 1816. It has
beea found by Horace Greely in Niles. Register.
The Richmond papers contend that Randolph's Res
olution is limited to the sale of Slates in the Dis
trict which may be brought from the adjoining States;
while Got ft Resolutions extend to all sales of Slates
in the District, whether brought from abroad or oth
erwise. The movers of the Resolutions might hate
had these different purposes in view, but we think
their lauguage is identical in meaning. We subjoiu
both, -and the reader may determine for himself.
" March 1st 1316. Mr. Randolph mbted thesnb-

inable, making this District a depot for the slate
trade of the neighboring States', and a medium for
evading the laws in force by collusive sales, be im
pressed by a variety of remarks ; and concluded by
declaring, that if the business was declined by the
I louse, he would undertake it himself; ana rerret
out of their holes and corners the villains who car
ried it on.
After some opposition by Mr. Wngbt, and sup
port by Mr. Goldborough, and being varied at the
suggestion of Mr. Hopkinuon, so as to refer the subject
to a select committee, instead of the committee on
the District the resolution passed as follows:
Resolved, That a committee be appointed to in-
quire into tne existence ui an muuuiau auu nirgni
traffic of slaves carried on in and" through the Dis
trict 6f "Columbfa j'indto'reporthethr any, and
what measures are necessary for putting a stop to
the same." : - i '
On the 30th April, "Mr. Randolph, from the
committee appointed some time ago to inquire into'
an Illegal "traffic in slaves, carried on through the
medium , of this District by persons in different
States, reported various testimony collected by the
committee, in the course of their intestigation of
the subject; but without Other reports of facts or
opinions.. The documents containing the testimony
were ordered to lie on the table."
The following . ia Gott's Resolution :
K Whereas, the traffic now prosecuted in this me

-struggle, and it would b bad enough for Stokes to
se,nd a Whig, but still worse for a Democrat to take
the advice of Whig leaders. Now, as to taking the
advice of any person, I can only say that I shall
upon no occasion take the advice of any, gentlemen"
and persist in preventing an election, which would no
doubt,. iu the. presence instance, have met with the
approbation of the writer, regardless of consequences
and loss to the State. I shall only,-in conclusion,
say, that whenever the citizens of Stokes seek, .any
advice from this sapient individual relative to .my
course here or elsewhere, it will then be time for
him to proffer it. Otherwise, they disregard an im
pertinent interference. " -

Poor Lewis Cass.
We have advices from the capital of Michigan to
the 1 1th inst. The House went into an election for
U. S. Senator on the 9th, which resulted as follows :
Lewis Cass,' 34 ; Epaphroditos Ransom, Loco, 11 ;
Edwin Lawrence, Whig, 15; Joseph R. Williams,
F.Sn 1; and Dewitt C. Lawrence, F. S., 1. The
Senate, on the 11th, indefinitely postponed the elec
tion. The Ransom men in the Senate carry every
thing their own way. Only 34 out of the 6t Loco
foco members attended the Legislative caucus on the
6th inst., at which Cass was nominated. The indefi
nite postponement, by thejSenate, of the Senatorial
question, is considered a great victory by the Ran
som men, -and renders it pretty certain that Mr
Cass' own Statobas repudiated him after the fash
ion of the entire' Union. Michigan will be Ran
somed by that rival of his, with the awful hard
.christian name;
We have since learned that Gen, Lewis Cass, has
been elected to the" United States Senate by the
Legislature of Michigan.
