TPARBOKOUGW: SATURDAY, SEPTEM'R 58, IS50. Progressive. Previous to the passing of the bill in the Senate to abolish the slave trade in ; the District of Columbia, Mr. Seward moved an amendment to abolish slavery also therein which was rejected, 5 yeas to -45 nays Messrs. Chase, Dodge, Hale, : Seward and Upham voling for it. On the 17lh inst. on the second reading of a bill providing for the punishment of persons enticing slaves from the District, Mr .Hale moved an amendment so as to abol ish slavery in the District, which -was negatived 9 to 41. Messrs. Baldwin. Chase, Davis of Massachusetts, Dodge of Wisconsin, Ewing, Hale, Hamlin, Sew-, ard and Winthrop, voting for it. Mr. Upham was absent, or he would doubtless from his previous vote have voted in the affirmative. And Mr. Dayton accompa nied his negative vote with the declara- tion, "I am not prepared to vote for a! proposition of that kind at this moment, m and under existing circumstances." Thus because its Constitution-was inconsistent wc see that in the short space of a few with the Inderal Constitution, but because . it did not prohibit slaverv, in open viola- davs, the open advocates of the above lk)n of consli(utiona, r,lts. and Inving a proposition, ' doubled their number, and majority at the time, passed the comprom the Southern Press says "how many were rse line of 3S 30, and prohibited slavery waiting like Mr. Dayton nobody can tell, but certain it is among the naj sare many whom every body knows to be no friends to slaver', but avowed friends of free-soil, which is one of the many aliases of abo lition." Some of the "ultra' Union men, recent ly avowed that the passage of the -above measure by Congress would be sufficient cause for "revolution" on the part of t he South. Yet in less than a week, after the "adjustment" measures had been passed, its advocates doubled their, number in the U. S. Senate, heretofore regarded as the most grave, deliberate, and conservative body in the world. Surely this is a pro gressive age. From the Newbern Republican (Jpln his speech delivered in the - . nu.e ui ixt-preseiiiauves, Jiarcn OIU, Stanly used the following language: Here allow me to sav. sir. that no man TK.. r I i.i! t I a m f ' ' in his senses believes Congress will ever be guilty either of the 'outrage or the fol ly of abolishing slavery in this District, excepting of course iho-se fanatics who think the Constitution is an agreement with Hell." Nine Senators voted to abolish slavery in the District the other day, and among them Mr. Winthrop, for whom Mr. Stan ly voted for speaker of the House. Mr. Stanly then voted for one of those "fanat ics who think the Constitution an agree ment with hell.' " To the Editor of the Tarboro' Press. Sir: Thc northern cry is, tlniOn! Union!: while the southern cry is, the Constitution and equality of rights, guaranteed by the north and south when they formed and ratified the Federal Constitution. The. south has kept her faith, and has suffered millions on mil lions of dollars by northern aggressions and a violation of faith to the compact. 1st. For thc sake of the Union. Virgin- ia gave up her Northwest Territory, as large as all the old thirteen Stales. " This was slave territory. 2nd. The Ordinance of 1787, abolish ing slavery in the above territory, (by northern voles chiefly,) was an act of gross injusiice lo the southern Stales; and Mr. iviauison saui, "without the shadow of constitutional authority;" yet for the sake r4U TT:.. ... u uiuii, v.igima and the southern Mates submitted to be plundered. 3rd. When Virginia made the cession not more than five States were to be form vuuuioi saiu territory. j he north has ot kept the faith, and yet the south fo the sake of the Union submits to aggres ion. 4th. We know that slaves are a belte population than free negroes, yel five slaves count only as three free negroes; thereby diminishing our Representatives in Congress. The South submitted to this wrong also, for Uie sake of the Union 5lh. The north now claims a right to take more of our Representatives in Con gress, and proposes to amend the Consti tution to suit fanatics; and therefore says, no new slave State shall be admitted into the Union, and thereby deprive us of our guaranteed representation. 6ih. Direct taxes were to be propor tioned amongst the States in the ratio of their representation; this constitutional provision has not been adhered to, and out of about 1050 millions of dollars, the amount of customs levied by this govern ment, the south has paid 7S9 millions, while the north has paid only 249 millions, instead of her rateable share of 605 mil lions, and thereby has plundered the south out of 35G millions of dollars and yet they are not content and still are bent on further aggressions. 7ih. The Constitution provides that fu gitivc slaves shall be given up, &c. Yet in the face of the compact, the north has refused to deliver up our slaves and is still encouraging a gang of robbers and thieves to steal the property of the south, in violation of law and the Constitution, and still wc hear the cowardly cry of "Union," where there is no union. The torics and traitors of the Revolution did no more. Sth. In 1S19, the north opposed the admission of Missouri into the Union, not north of it. Still the south submitted to this aggression onher constitutional rights for the sake of the Union. 9th. The noith now spurns the line ofj 36 30, and claims all the territory south ; oi n,ancnnc ngmio pion.u.i slavery in, ourownlririrorio; hy ll.o aid of south- cm submis.sioni.Ms, it has ncroclc.l and plundered the south out of her just riftbls. ; 10th. The north, will, lipoid of a fc-j outhcrn votes in Confircss, do not stop ! their agressions on the .south, after taking . i.i i . . 1 l a I 1 all the territory south ol 30 30, hut have ... . . . commenced an attack upon the southern States separately; and with drtwn sword in one hand, and a bribe often million? of doltars in the other, (seven and a half mil- lions to be plundered from the Southern' of Kuropcan d-cpots. States,) has said to the State of Texas, w c a' ,norc t,1;in tbis: this land is oiTer want )our territory between the Ncucca'cd as a bribe lo your own people, to rc .ind ibp Ilin r.miulp. fo rlvft to froo-stiil move from votirown States and renounce fanatics to subjusiatc the south, to build iip,y - - ' 7 O a Strom consolidated government to crush State sovereignties,) choose you this day between the bribe and the sword Will Texas take the bribe, and tamclv . ... . . submit to such gross menace and injustice o the south? Will the southern Slalessub-. mil lo have seven and a half millions dol-, ars drawn from them lo pay for their own soil and to settle a den of negro stealers and robbers south of us, for the use tf rogues that bid defiance to ail la .V and or-j Jer, and set at nought the Constitution, ' contrary to southern rights, morality, and good government? Justice forbids it, good faith forbids it. The security of the Union oflh;c once happy States forbids it. Every thins dear to the rinhts of v c r . O reemcn, to the prosperity of the cdnfede- racy, and to liberty itself, forbids it. And the mass of the people of the southern States, in defence of their constitutional ights, the preservation of their wives and children will forbid it. None but rob- bers, cowards and submissionists, that will survey thc whole ground, will advo cate ncgro.slealing. Thc north cannot live and prosper without a union with the south, while the south can live and prosper without the north. If equality of rights and justice are not secured to the south, and her rights are respected, we say there is no union. Therefore the south snould be fore submitting further, form a union and provide ways and means to protect our just rights. THE VOICE OF MANY. Congress. On Monday next, the present session of Congress will close, and both Houses are rapidly disposing of the business be fore them. The Senate was engaged, on Monday last, in discussing several Appropriation Bills. The House passed the Naval Ap propriation Bill, with an amendment abol ishing Flogging in the navy. In the House of Representatives, on the lGtb; Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, gave-notice that on to morrow, or some subsequent day, he would ask leave to bring in the following bills: ; A bill to alter and amend the existing revenue laws, so as to afford reasonable protection and encouragement to Ameri can labor; . A1 bill to abolish , slavery in the Terri tory of Utdh;" . bill to repeal so much of the acts es tablishing territorial governments in New Mexico and Utah as recognizes slavery in said Territories, and as pledges the nation to admit new slave States into the Union; A bill to repeal and annul the Fugitive Slave law, passed September, 1850. From the Southern Press, More Spoliation. The bill to grant the public lands of Oregon to actual set tlers, has past the Senate. It provides for the donation, of 320 acres to each family, native or foreign, whether natu ralized or not. People of the South! You arc now, by the lute adjustment, excluded from nearly . iti ait uie immense puunc domain, except upon the condition that you renounce your slave property and the institutions you prefer. And the lands, thus wrested from you are givzn not only to Northern, but to unnaturalized European emi grants. The policy of Ibis Government, ofyow Government, is now to take your property and give it lo foreigners to pre vent you from occupying it you, by whose valor, and treasure, and labor this land was acquired. Your right to a share of this land was as valid and as sacred as lo your own homesteads, it was as much vours bv natural, public, or civil law as any proper ty you own, or any people .own.

(CT 1 he sympathy for the black race in Ohio the great seat of Abolition, and the C"Y f refuge for runaways is taking a Vcrv peculiar turn. The main efforts of Ilcr philanthropists noio being directed to- wards ridding the State of the unlorlun- ales whom they have seduced there, by professions of fraternity and good feeling falsified by their tct.s 1 he petition from Hamilton county to tne Slate Convention, published by us some time since, ullords the strongest evi- dence of popular sentiment, while thc pro jects proposed by the affiliated associations of colonizalionists, emancipationists, and open Abolitionists, show their anxiety to relieve themselves of the presence oftheir colored brethren. In all the winning va- jriations of which tuneful cant and hypo critical pretensions are susceptible, the song of emigration to Liberia to that African Eden is chanted in full chorus by the whole band, and their anxious af fection displayed in a most moving man ner.

Ohio being on the borders of of runaways and emancipated slaves. In anticipation of future evils from an undue fit op or lion of that class of popu lation, they favor the colonization pro ject as best for both whites and blacks. . Vicissitudes. The editor :.of the New Or leans Delta, who is a friend of Senator Foote says: : "The General came tothis city some years ago,-with the view of being admitted to the bar.; He was examined about the same time we were. He was rejected we'were admitted. He is now a Senator, and wc a poor editor.". New Cars and Locomotive. Two new Cars have been lately added to the means of travel on our Road. These were necessary at the present time to accommo date the increased travel on the Road, and to make up for two Cars in a slate of blockade beyond Quankey Creek. These Cars we look upon as beyond the reach of a puff. The one we examin ed is finished in tire very best style and 6rnamcnted with superior taste. They would be called splendid Cars on any road in the Union. , They will seat 50 passengers each " They were manufactur ed by Richard Imlay of New York. There- has also been added a new Loco motive Engine, called the Mechanic, of power sufiicjent to make 35 miles per hour with a lrain. Wc are rejoiced to find the enterprising spirit of the Directors ol the Hoard, rise with the increased business of the Hoard and the public favor.
