Abolition put to rest in Congress. In the House of Representatives, on the lilh ult. Mr. Atherton of New Hampshire presented the following resolutions, which, alter considerable shuffling and twisting, were passed, only six members voting against them, viz : Messrs. Adams, Evans, Everett, Potts, Russell, and Sladc. We regret to add, however, that there were a few Southern members who refused to vote, among whom was the Hon. E. STANLY, Representative from this District. From the subjoined article it will appear that he has promised to inform his constituents why he did not vote on these resolutions. We trust he will not keep them long in suspense,, as they all must be anxious to know why he preferred hanging to the skirts of Jr. IVise, instead of acting with nearly the entire Southern Representatives, of all parties, in settling this disturbing question. ' llcsolvcd, That this Government is a Government of limited powers, and that, by the Constitution of the United States, Con gress has no jurisdiction whatever over the institution of slavery in the several States of the Confederacy. Resolved, That petitions for the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia and territories of the United States, and against the removal of slaves from one State to an other, 3re a part of a plan ot operations set on foot to aflect the institution of slavery in the several States, and thus indirectly to destroy that institution within their limits. Eesolved, That Congress has no right to do that indirectly which it cannot do ctireet v; and that the agitation of the subject of slavery in the District of Columbia, or the Territories, as a means, and with the view, of disturbing or overthrowing that institu tion in the several States, is against the true spirit and meaning of the Constitution, an infrigement of the rights of the States af fected, and a breach of the public faith upon which they cnteicd into the Confed eracy. Eesolved, That the Constitution rests on the broad principle of equality among the members of this Confederacy, and that Congress, in the exercise of its acknowl edged nowers. has no right to discriminate between the institutions of one portion of i .k :.u ..:,.t the States anu anoiner wun a view ui abolishing the one and promoting the other. Iiesolved, therefore, That all attempts on the part of Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Columbia or the Territories, or to prohibit tho removal of slaves from State to State, or to discriminate between the institutes of one portion of the Con for.nr nnd another, with the views afore: nid ire in violation 5of the Constitution, ALtouvc. of the fundamental principle on which the Union of these States rests, and (Kd?ecombe County, JV.

To the Editors of the Nat. Int. Washington Dec. 14, 183S. Messrs. Gales &: Scaton: In the Intclli- ?enCeroft,,is morning I find the following I'frirtft rcnort .... "Air. Slade introduced the following res olutions: "Whereas there exists, and is carried on i) it ween the ports in the District of Colum bia and other ports of the United States, and under the sanction of the laws thereof, a trade in lufman beings, whereby thou sands of them arc annually sold and trans ported from said District to distant parts of the country, in vessels belonging to citizens of the United States; and whereas such trade involves an outrageous violation of human rights, is a disgrace to the country by whose laws it is sanctioned, and calls for the immediate interposition of legisla tive authority for its suppression, I herelore, to the end that All obstacles to the consideration of this subject may be removed, and a remedy fortheevil speedi ly provided, "Resolved, That so much of the fifth of the resolutions on the subject of slavery, passed b' this House on the 11th and 12th of the present.month as relates to the re moval of slaves from State to State,' and prohibits the action of this House on "every petition, memorial, resolution, proposition, or piper, touching the same, be, and here by is rescinded." After which, it is reported that "Mr. "Dawson called for the reading of the reso lution; which having been again read, Mr. "STANLY said he wished to introduce an "amendment. The Chair said it was not "now in order, the resolution not yet be "ing in the possession of the House.' When Mr. Sladc's resolutions were read, and I heard the words "outrageous viola tion of human rights" and "disgraceful" applied, as I thought, to the slaveholding States, and to North Carolina as one of i hem, I could not repress the indignation I felt at such language. It was under the influence of this excitement that I wished to "introduce an amendment," when the 'Chair said it was no! now in order." The amendment I wished to introduce was in the words following: "Resolved, That said resolution is disre spectful in its language, and outrage ously insulting to the Representatives of "the slaveholding States; that it is calcula ted to provoke and irritate the members "Irom said States; and that the considera tion of said resolution would be an 'out rageous violation' of the respect due to "the slaveholding States, and would ne cessarily lend to weaken the bonds of our "Union "Resolved, That said resolution is 'dis graceful' to the member who presents it, "as it evinces a total disregard ot the feel ings of the Representatives of theslave "holding States of this Union, and does "not deserve to be considered bv the "House." But the rules of order, different at differ ent times, prevented me from introducing this amendment, and I do not now regret it, as the resolution was not considered by the House, and as I have been since satis fied that though the language sounded harshly to the ears of a Representative from the South, nothing offensive was intended, and I write this note now, that my consti uents may be informed what my amend ment was; waiting for an hour of leisure, when I will inform them more fully why it was that I did not vote upon the resolutions recently offered by a member from New Hampshire. 1 have good reasons for refusing to join in the miserable farce which has been played by the instruments of party in the House of Representatives during Tuesday and Wed nesday last. Oblige me by publishing this note. Very respectfully yours, EDWARD STANLY. A Southern "Whig" Champion. Hon. Ed. Stanly, we perceive, "dodged the question" on Mr. Atherton's resolu tions, which assert the rights of the South, and place the matter of Abolition in a Southern position. He had Mr. Wise as a co-adjutor in this recreancy to Southern interests they were, we suppose, "gentle men who knew each other by instinct," as Mr. Wise said on a former occasion and through "instinct" gave Northern Aboli tion Federal Whiggcry permission to pass unscathed. Mr. Stanly was elected from the 3rd Congressional District Jn this State, by a majority of 666 a few of which, we opine, will be "among . the missing" should he again call on them for their sup port. Raleigh Standard. Internal Improvement Convention. The Raleigh Register states that "ihe fol lowing are, in a condensed form, the speci fic recommendations of the Convention, which are to be brought to the notice of the Legislature by a Select Committee appoint ed for "that purpose. 1. Resolved. That the Convention onnonr in the Report of its General Committee,! mat ine several works of Improvement therein recommended deserve the pat ronage of the State, and ought to be effect ed. 2. Resolved, Tint in order to carry out the views of the Convention, nnd at the same time, to accommodate them to the means and ability of the State, a Loan of three millions of dollars ought to be con tracted. 3. Resolved, That in the prosecution of these several works, the Convention rec ommend the following classification: 1. A guarantee bv the State of fiv hundred thousand dollars to the Gaston and Raleigh Rail Road Company. 2. A subscrintion bv the St ntr nf four fifths of the Capital Stock of the rayettcville and Yadkin Rail Road Com pany. 3. The incorporation of a Company for the opening of an Inlet at the foot of Al bemarle Sound, and a subscription by the State of three-fifths of its Capital Stock. 1. A Rail Road from Deaufort Harbour to connect with the Wilmington and Ral eigh Rail Road, and a subscription by the State of four-filths of its Capital Stock. 2. A Rail Road from R deigh to intersect with the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road, at or near YVayncsborough, and a Rail Road from Raleigh to Fayetteville, and a subscription to each, of two-fiiths of the capital stock by the State. 3. Resolved, As the opinion of the Con vention, that the balance of the subscrip tion by tho State to the Wilmington and Raleigh Company ought to be paid without delay; that surveys of Ncusc and Tar Riv ers, with the view to Steam Navigation, and the survey of a route from Raleigh, via Hillsborough, to Greensborough, in Guil ford County with the view to a McAdami zed Turn Pike Road, ought to be made by the State; and if the said rivers should be found such as to iustifv the use of Steam r f Boats, the Board cf Internal Improvements be authorized to contract accordingly. And that a company be incorporated for the construction of the said Road and a sub scription of two-fifths of its capital by the State. lion. Jjhn Branch. The following ex tract of a letter from the Hon John Branch to a friend, we commend to the considera tion of those who, with shame, are "trai tors to their principles": "The Independent Treasury ivil and "must succeed, notwithstanding the disas trous news from New York. The State "Rights portion of the Whigs hold the "balance of power, and they must be trai "tors to their principles if they fail to co operate,, even with Van Buren men, "to re-establish them. Our country first, "and private bickerings and griefs last. "The People masters, Corporations ser- "vants is my motto now, ever has been "and ever shall be. Let us then unite as "patriots." The patriotic sentiments of the above let ter cannot fail to impress the minds and af fect the hearts of all who love their coun try. Others will come to the rescue of the Constitution and the assertion of their principles the few who are determined to sacrifice both, can be spared. Raleigh Standard. fjHon. Thomas Hart Benton is elec ted, for the fourth time, to the Senate of the United States, hy the Legislatuieof Mis souri, by a majority of 27 votes. ib. Suicide. A horrible case of suicide oc curred, on the 30lh ult., near Winston, in Hertford county. A man by the name of Kial Jenkins who had long been a noted drunkard and a pest to the community of which he was a member while in a fit of intoxication determined to put a period to his existence. This he effected in the following manner: Having loaded his gun, he placed the muzzle under his chin and discharged it; but, owing to some inaccu racy in its position, the effect was not fatal one side only of his face being blownK)ff by the discharge. Thus not succeeding in his object of self-destruction, he calmly re loaded his gun, and, notwithstanding the interposition of his wife, deliberately appli ed the muzzle to his iiead and pulled the trigger this time with more deadly effect than at first, as by this second discharge his head was blown to atoms. Thus an other name is added to that long catalogue of those, who, from being the v otaries of liquor, have untimely fallen its victims. ib. Q3A Baptist Church in Redding, Con. (3 o'clock A. M.) was blown up by a keg of powder placed under the pulpit. An r . AT Vo. i. Abolition lecturer had delivered one dis course there, and hud given notice that he should deliver another. Somebody during Ihe night of the 2Stti ult. resorted to this means of putting a stop to the lecture. Nat. Int. A Rank Shaving in Lead. The Min ers' Free Press Nov. 13, of Wisconsin Territory, makes the following serious charge: Wc have 'Understood that the greater portion of the lead sent from Wis consin to Galena, amounting to several mil lions, h 'sbeen monopolised by the Galena Branch Bank, through their agents, and that through their influence the greater part of that lead has been purchased at such re duced prices that will average nearly two dollars per hundred below Eastern prices. This the bank has been enabled to do by op erating on that shaving system, when no businessman, smelter or otherwise, could get a dollar, but hy making sales of the lead to those agents at reduced prices, even he fore they purchased the mineral to manufac ture it." Tenneseee. -The Nashville Banner of the 29th ult. says : The Cotton crop is almost a failure. Competent judges think that the amount which will be shipped from this point, can not exceed eight thousand bales. Four thousand is regarded as a liberal estimate of the amount that will go down E'k and Duck rivers. There are conflicting opin ions as to the crop of the Western District. Some estimate it at twelve thousand, snd others as high as twenty thousand bales. The last is probably nearest the mark. The Tobacco crop is inconsiderable. After much enquiry we feel satisfied that the corn crop, in the aggregate, is considerably larger than has been supposed. Abundantly sufficient, we think, for home consumption at lower prices than are now anticipated. Pork is easily procured at $5 to 5 50. The Banner says that the money market in that quarter is tight beyond all prece dent. Pork. The Wabash (Ind.) Courier of the 6th ult. says that the price of pork in that market appears to be settling down at $4 to 34 50 per 100 lbs. The late Mail arrangement. We par ticipate in the joy which pervades our com munity, in consequence of the contract which has been made between the Post Master General, and the President and Directors of the Wilmington and Raleigh R.Vd Road Company, for transporting the Southern Mail And we learn, with pleas ure, that this company, with their usual promptitude have purchased twro steam boats at a less cost than 110,000, in addi tion to the two already plying between this place and Charleston, to insure a proper dis charge of their duties. We have never doubted that this route, from its greater despatch and cheapness, would finally supersede all others at pre sent in use, but we are free to confess, we had feared from the many and great rival interests which are opposed to it, that this result would not have been so speedily ac complished. fVilmington Adv. Staging reduced and the Comfort of Travellers advanced. The section of the Wilmington and Raleigh Rail Road between Faison's and Martin's, 12 miles long, was travelled over yesterday for the first time by the passenger's train. The remaining section nine miles between Wilmington and Waynesboro' is finished, except the iron, which will be nailed down as speedily as possible. The energy and fi delity with which this Company executes its engagements deserves and will receive. ihe substantial patronage of the public. Physical obstacles and pecuniary embar rassments have proved but feeble barriers, and have appeared, but to disappear, like traw on fire. ib. Eagle Hotel. We understand that this spacious Establishment has been sold by the Proprietor, Capt. Guion, to Mr. John C. Rogers, for the snug little sum of 523,000. Ral. Rcz- New Baptist Church. We learn that the members of the new Baptist Church (so called) have purchased the lot at the cor ner of Wilmington and Streets, near Mr. Wm. Peck's, where a- Black smith Shop now stands, and intend erect ing a Church with all convenient despatch, to be under the charge of the Rev. Amos J. Battle. ib. Steam Saw Mill Burned. We state with much regret that the fine new saw mill belonging to Messrs. Wade, Slover& Snead, cf this place, was totally destroyed by fire on Sunday morning' last. The fire was first seen between 4 and 5 o'clock, A. M., and bcf(.re six the whole fabric was consumed. -Nearly if not all insured. Ncwbern Spectator V . I
