TACKING TO THE BREEZE ! The last number ot ih .locofocu organ in this City contains an article on the resolutions adopted by the Whig Convention , which assembled in this City on the 26th ult. In the course of his com ments, the Editor observes that "the fourth and tiixlh Resolutions of the series are sou id in them jsilves, and will meet milt general approval .'" Now, lest some ol our readers may have lorgolten to what subjects these fourth and sixth resolutions relate, we introduce them here : 4. solved. That we are opposed to the doctrine fif Intervention ; and we declare that it is the duty of the General Government to adhere strictly to the foreign policy of VVashiugton. 6' Resolitd, That we cberifth a cordial and tm- bucrveable attachment to the Constitution aud Uniou luftlie Slat es and it is our determination to resist rery attempt to aheunte one portion of our countrr from the aest, and to enfeeble Meruit ti wKii- Jink together its vinous jwrts. To any one who l as observed the course o the print, which now professes to regard these tolutions as so "sound" and worthy of "general approval," for the" past year or two, such profes sions will appear strange arid continent, indeed. The reader, we can well imagine, will hardly be ble to reconcile wi h the treasonable doctrines, the appeal in behalf of '.he Nashville Convention and tlie arguments in favor of the right of Seces i, that have been spread over the surfaca ot f Volume ;LIII. r "ALL POLITICAL POWER tS VESTED IN AND DERIVED 7R0JI THE PEOPLE only." :, . ' ,- Just as we expected, the locofoeo Press of the State are. assailing the sacred cause of Popular Rights, as eubodied iu the Resolution on State policy, adopted, by the Whig Convention. The " Wilmington Journal," among others, is eut upon that Resolution, and pronounces the right of a Convention to amend the Constitution simply "in ferential. If this be so, howu i: that the Con stitution, expressly provides the manner in which a Convention may be called ? -And rf it- be bo, how is it that we find in the Debates' of the Con rention of 183oj such unmistakeable and uhequiv ocal declarations, that "when there was any ne cessity for a Convention, there could be found no difficulty in obtaining it," &c. Is there such a necessity 1 Who U to decide upon that necessi ty I The resolution of the Whig Convention rests that decision with the People. The locofoco leaders are unwilling that their voice should be heard. There lies the issue. Another thrust at the position of the Whig Convention is thus made in another quarter: uThe Convention shall be called but by a two-thirds ! vote of both branches of the Genera! Assembly. Here the "right" is admitted, then.J Let us suppose that it is submitted to the people to say whether or not they will have a Convention, and a majority should declare in favor ot it; what tlieu ? How is a two-thirds vote to be obtained ! Is the theory to be established, and that -too bythe "conservative" Whig party, thai a majority of the peojtle, at the ballot -box, can call a Contention to alter their fundamental law P For ourselves, we answer, in reply to this ques tion, that ibe decision of the People ihould be obeyed in this matter. In the first place, it will not be denied ihat maiy,ery many, of the People of the State are looking forward to, and desiring, amendments of our State Constitution. That a majority ol the Pwple are to favor of such amend ments, or for any amendments at all, it is not for us to sar nor is it for ua to assume to advise whether any, and if any, what amendments should be made. The true inquiry for 6a is how can these issues bt be settled this agitation best be allayed this fraternal strife be soonest and with leant heart-burning, removed, and peace, union, and quiet again restored to each, every, and all sections of the State ? In our honest judgment, as we have frequently urged, it can be accomplished in no other way than by submitting the question to the People, wlwther they wish a Convention (on the Basis of the House of Commons,) to amend their Consti tution or not ! This done, who can complain? If they reject a Convention and adhere to the Constitution as it is, who will then dare agiiate ? The moral force of such a decisiou will have the effect to restore a-v' (!. ff" m BAZETTE; A 'tifT i : .i.-.;r,,. 1 ,j :. ' T I.-.

We take our stand, in the great cause of the People vs. the locofoco leaders, in the ranks of ihe former. In such a conflict there can be no doubt of the result." We propose, at an early day, to state our ob jections in full, to Legislative amendments of the Constitution. --V .THECQtLINS STEAMERS. The proposition to allow the proprietorsof the Collins liue of steamers increased compensation mail transportation" across the .Atlantic, has been Rebated at great length it the United States Senate and jsstjll under consideration in that body. The subject is one of national importance and has attf acted a large share of public attention. A statement of some of tlie facts elicited in the course of the discussion may not there tote be uninterest ing to our readers. . . . In April, 1849, the Government entered into a contract with Mr. Collins, and others, tc build a certain number of sieatners of a specified power and capacity. ' These steamers were to perform twenty trips a year between New York and Liv erpool, and for this uer vice the proprietors; were to receive the sum f 8385,000 a year, or abotit $19,000 a trip. ' If appears,' "however, that this compensation is wholly inadequate, and that unless Congress shstl consent to enlarge it, the Collins line mutt inevitably be abandoned. The proprie tors show that during the List year they have in curred a loss amounting to $338,000, or about $17,000 a trip. It s therefore proposed by the Finauco Committee of the Senate, so to modify the contract as to increase the number of trips a year, from twenty to twenty-six, and the compen sation from $383 000 to $S58,003. The causes of the losses sustained by the .Company are ex plained as follows by Mr. Milter, of New Jersey " It has been asserted that thesw losses are owing to extravagance ; -that the ships are larger aud more splendid and costly than the company were boand to build the contract It is true that these ships are of a superior character in style, size, and power to those contemplated by tlie contract; but ought we to complain of that ? The company may, in their iaudabie ambition to surpass their foreign rival have expended more money than was required by thoir contract ; but surely . we ought not to take ad vantage of Uiw, and object to their doiug more for the success of this great eutorprise than they were bound vy law to do liut, sir, tbe most of these lo-sus arose from other causes from circumstancos over which they had no control. One great cause of extra ex penditure on the part of the company was owing to the lact that the enterprise was an entirely new one in this country so new that wlieu they commenced building their first ship it was found that the machin ery aud tools necessary for tlie coiiftruction of their powerful engines were not to be found in the country. Thu implements of construction had to be either pro cured from Enghuid or made here at great expense; and large sums of money were necessarily expended iu experincnts upon this prslimiuary machinery re quired in tbe construction of the ships , But that is not the principal cause of their loas8. By the contract; iCoUms & Co. were not bound; to build ships of the size and power of those they have constructed. They might have merely followed in tbe wake of tbe Ccnard line, taken their ships as models, and imitated them in size and model, and bee a con tented with their" sped. But- tbey felt, a? every American citiaen: felt, that this was a great under, taking that it was a national contest and, in com peting vith Great Britain upon this subject of ocean mail steamers, they desired to produce to the country and to the world steamers a little superior to those built by Great Britain, and with which she then com manded the trade of the world. In accomplishing that they have made great sacrifices, bat they have by CunarU tine iu power and apeed. For this they ,...; , MR. CLAY. . - The Editor of the 'New York Espress,' writing from Washington, where he enjoyed (he privilege of ap 'Interview with Mr, Clay.givea the following interesting account of the condition., frame of mind, &c. of that illust rious Patriot; ! "The contrast of a year to me was most painful, and Mr, Clay looks physically, only likethe wreck of the man he was. There is hardly strengths no ugh in his hands to convey food to his moaih, and he is helped to and from his bed like a feeble Child.. He rises very late and as he told me, has not known for a long time what it was to enjoy an hour of sweet, refreshing, natural steep. But like an old forest oak, beautiful even in its decay Mr Clay b' ill survives and exhibits the marks of past strength, and present power. ..The lustre of bis eyes is uod immed. He both sees and knows hi frieodg. The grasp of his handXs as fervent, earnest and kindly impressive as ever r waa. His voice cont i.uestobeuil sweet and melodious, ex cept when Us tooestare moved by that bodily weak ness which makes it painful for him to speak, tnd .it is always very panful fat him4,spek long. But the greatest blessing winch youclmfes to a dy iiig. man is his. He has that peace of mind which the world can neither give nor take away, and an intellect as unclouded as in the day of its greatest brilliancy. Most of his thoughts are de voted to i hat change of exis ence from which none of us are exempt, and that change may come in an hour or a day, or it may be postponed till the spring or the summer flowers fade, and die. In the meantime Mr. Clay, is tranquilly prepared for the messenger whenever he comes, and remarks of his death in a confiding, Chns ian spirit, ihat though "it may be presumption in him if say ro, he looks forward 1o the world be yond the grave wiih faith in God, and trust in a better life." He is a member and communicant of the Episcopal Church, and among the lew books in his room the word of God occupies the most conspicuous place. Oq the publ'c questions of the day he takes a deep interest. I mention it as an example wor thy of the imitation of public men, that he told me that he never made a personal exnLmntinn in his life, while a m tnber of either houst of Congress. ABinei t-nriianieuiarian,ana ine most accomplish ed Speaker that ewer presided over the delibera won oi any puo.'ie rxxjy. rr.s respect for the pro prieties of life, and his love of order would never allow him to" obtrude hW private griefs upon the public body. in regard to public questions and public men his views a re unalterably the same. He spoko of Kossuth as a graceful and accomplished man, and of the pleasure which his in erview afforded him last winter, particuiaily in the intelligence displayed by him, and in the respectful attention wntcn me Hungarian unie! mamtes ed Tor his opinions ; but Kossuth's complaint that that in terview naa Decome public, surprised him, as there va9 no request, expectation or wish niaa- Hested that it should be private. Qn tne contrary have expended large sums of. money, and sustained gran losses upou tneir capiuu. Another cause why they have lost money is, mat the moment their ships were put afloat, tbey met with a vigorous and active competition in Kogland backed by the influence of the English Government It was nut a mere struggle between Mr. Collins od Mr. Cunard, "it was not a mere struggle between the enterprise of an American citizen and a subject of (Jueen Victoria, standing upon their individual capital, talent, and enterprise, rip, sir: it was a poOtest with the English Government. The moment the Collins line was established, it became a national concern with the people aud government ef England to put down the Collins line Ly ex lend mz encourage meiit to the Cunard lino. At the same time, some of the ftrst trips ruadu by "ur steamers were unfor tunate, aud immediately the cry was raised in Eu rope, and especially in Great Britain, that they were nut safe; consequently passengers refused to go into them, and they made many trips iu which they sus tained great losses on accouut of this alarm." But, whilst the Collins Company have been losers it is argued that the country has been a gainer by this enterprise. The first effect of it waa the negotiation of a Postal Treaty with Gnat Britain, under which the Government already re ceives oceac postages amounting to $400,000 an nually. This sum is increased at the rate of about $200,000 a year, and in two years more the revenue from this source will be sufficient to de THIRTY-SECONll CONGRESS. - M WAtrHrNGTOifi May 3, 1852'. t ;. senate- The chair laid before the Senate a report from the several heads of the departments of a plan for classifying Ybe 'duties and salaries, &c, of the clerks now employed iherem,-1 ' ; - f Mf-Sumner presented the? resolutions of the Legislature of Massachusetts, in favor of cheap ocean postage.: .' , . . . .. ..

We see that the Locos of the Counties of Surry and "Yadkin have expressed their preferences, re spectively, lor Messrs. Cass and Douglas, in con nection with the Presidency. We commend to these gentlem.m a few questions, put by the "Fred, ericksburg(Va.) Herald, with respect to the course of their favorites on the Fugitive Slave Bill. .We ourselves overlooked t'1 conflict between the versions given by Mr. Richardson and M-. Doug las: , . " VVhen the question . was asked in Congress why Senator Douglas ',3.id not vote for that pro vision ot the Compromise the' Fugitive Slave Law Mr. Richardson of Illinois, one of Doug las's peculiar friends, answered, by saying, that he was prevented from being piesent ip the Uni-. ted States Senate through sickness. Two weeks afterwarJs Mr. Douglas himself declared that he was in New York at the time the vote was taken . If in New York, did Senator D. go, there to avoid the vo e ? Which versiouis correct or who can harmon.ze the conflicting staterxien'B? Did Sena tor Douglas dodge the responsibili y until he saw "how tbe cat jumped 7"-whether it wocld be a politic move to sustain or oppose tne Compromise Measures. But this is not all. Let the Democratic Press tell us why Senatjr Cass did not vote for the Po sitive Slave Law. Mr Cass was neither m New York nor prevented by sickness. Mr. Cass was there, on the floor of the United States Senate, when the vote wa tanen, out ne never even so much as said a word, when the Clerk called "Lewis Cass-" The ' noise and confusion" was not so great that bis voice could not have been heard, bur yet be failed to vote lor una Dill.

Scott, was (their warm advocate then, and has never, "to this day, made a icvauuiiiuii. - lie u9. uruuubc i.. fray the expense of supporting the Collins line. It ik further argued that if we had never received cent of postage We should be amply compensa ¬ ted for the money we have paid by the increased skill we have acquired jn the building of Ocean steamers. ' Again : the building and running of these ships have produced to the country a class of practical eugmeere that it would oot have bad without this undertaking. It has been a school for young engi neers. These vessels are now every year training up engineers, who are to take charge ot our steamships of war, or to be employed in the commercial marine. I hug the country is acquiring knowledge at the ex pease of the awutrs of the Collins lin, ' We presume there can be little doubt but tbat the proposed relief to the Collins Company will be granted. The question, justly says the Richmond Times, is one that vsppeale strongly to the pride of the government and the nation. The triumph of the new American steam-line over its long es tablished British rival on their first trial of strength has challenged tbe enthusiastic admiration of the people of the Union. This feeling is by no meant confined to the inhabitants of the Atlantic States v but pervades ihe entire country, and is shared by thousands and hundreds of thousands who never tasted salt water nor set loot upon the deck of a vessel. ; ' The honor of our flag is telt to be in some mea sure involved in tbe struggle, and the withdrawal of the Collins line from further competition With its haughty and arrogant rival would be univer sally regarded as an acknowledgment of British cupremacy on the seas. - Tbe people ofthis coun try will be slow lo make this mortifying confes sion, as long as it can be avoided by the expendP ture of a lew thousand dollars per annum. members of Congress public persons. Whatever hinted at private opinion was suppressed from the public report, and it was in the discharge of a public duty, per haps the very last duly of his public life, that Mr. Clay felt called upon o resist the doctrine that it was lawlul and proper lor the united Stales, un der any circumstances short of relf-preservatioa to uiierlere practically in ihe attuirs of the gov ernments of Europe. I thought, too, that he was do trnieu winr, a tr waa uy iyohsuik id nis piy upon ""those three little letters w-ar" at the Banquet gif err by the members of the New York Bar, and more recent ly in bis New Jersey speeehes, where he speaks of " material aid" for the pur chase of toys'' for Hungary, meaning those. grnn-lQokiiig and loud mouthrd messengers ot death, whose music, in their, time, have either made millions of widows and orphans, or maimed for life the bravest and worthiest of those, who should love io hail as their father and their triend, the Prince of Peace. But Mr. Clay, though he thinks much of all foreign and domestic questions, so far as they are connected with the glory ol his county, and sometimes no 'doubt of late has had a burning spirit io return to the forum, is euabled to read but little, or to nave but little read to htm ol tbe occurrences of the day. But next to those eter nal truths which loieshadow to him the future wot id, and which likethe links ol a connecting chain bind the things which are of this world, to those which are to come after it. he thinks most of that couutry which in one form or another he has served more than half of a century of time. Were he in the Serjat to-day he would vote lor Protection to American Labor. ILr ihe cons rue- lion of works of Intenai Improvement on the sea board and along theinland waters of the country, for an equitable distribution of the proceeds arising Irom the sales of the Public Domain, so that the old States as well as the new should share in the benefits ansins from the common property of the Nation a,,J especially against ihat innovation upon the policy of Washmgion and all ihe fathers and chiefs of the Republic for all time, that it is not lawful for one Nation, un der anv Dretence short of its own safety, to inter fere in the concerns of another country, especially when that other counirv is a nation upon the confines ol Europe. May these principles of National justice and patriotism long survive the lite ol tienrj Clay." Since the above was in type, ihe painful in telligence has been received, that Mr. Clay s ill ness has assumed a more violeut type, and that his most sanguine friends have abandoned all hopes of his recovery. He can, at best, it is said survive but a few davs. We forbear comment, The language of sorrow does not consist in words. the par ly.
