SLAVERY RESOLUTIONS. Senator Houston introduced the following resolutions in tho United States j Senate on Monday last: " IPhereas the Congress of the United StatO'. l)0ss?s>inor rdlUr " _ n > uvn'giliuil Hll" thurity, have 110 power over the subject of negro slavery within the limits of llio United States, either to protect or interfere with it, in the territories or district, where by municipal hnv, it now exists; but ns an assurance and guaranty to promote hnrnionv, quiet apprehension, and fOVrtrfcUA * .v...?.rv otuiiuuui prejudice, which by j possibility, might impair or weaken love and devotion for the Union in any part of j 'the country, it is hereby "Resolved, That as people in tcrrito- j I ries have the same inherent rights of self- j I |rovernment as people in the ?S'tates: that) if, in the exercise of such inherent rights, I the people in the newly acquired territo i it? uy viiu itoncxn m ot 7'oxas and the acquisition of Caliio.nia and New Voxiico, south of the parallel of 30 degrees and 30 minutes of north latitude, extending to thn Pacific.;ocean, shall establish hegro slavery in the formation of their state governments, it shall be deemed no objection to their admission as a state or states into tho Union, in accordanco with AL- .?? ~ T,m? conauuiuon 01 the United States." "We remember the time, and that is not not long since, when tho above preamble nnd resolution would have passed with scarcely a dissenting voice, containing nothing in them which is not true, just and constitutional; and yet, when they do come up, they will be torn into shreds nnd patches by tlic abolitionists nnd their cousins-german, thofree soilcrs. men will vote against them without attempting to show tlmt they are wrong in principle. The political confederacy against the south will oppose such resolution, while m other and happier timeB its justice would hi * e been unanimously acknowledged. How little does the slave 'question, or sympathy for the freedom of the negro, mingle itself in this political crusade? There arc no slaves at the ooiun who moor bo h*rcl as the "white man at the north. There are few colored "people at the north who arc so contented and happy and so devoid of caro as the slavos of the 6outh. "Under no condition of things can their fate be altered for the better. Wliy then these reiterated asnaultson the south and its constitutional rights? They are false issues, simulated "and fictitious sympathies, to cripple the political power of the south, and induce a1 * - * * * mum 10 surrender to their persecutors. The leaders in this erusnde must bowarc of the masses in the north who have not yet spoken. T cir eyes arc beginning to be opened to the real cause of these at tacks, and when the danger becomes more threatening the bolt will fall. They have no cause to fear the south. They will hear the thunder rolling from the Worth. The leaders in disunion will not be permitted to set fire to the Capitol, nnd be the first to give the alarm. J'hev will not bo suffered to push on disunion, and yet shout for the union of the states. If the south is firm and discreet they v ill soon see their oppressors floored by the north, nnd this will be the proper retribution. We do not wish to disguise the fact, and it ought not to be disguised, that the news from Washington is of the iriost gloomy character, and fears for the safety of the Union have now reached the most enlightened' patriots of the land. Southern Legislatures have bills under pi uiiiiju 111me collection ot northern debts? plans'of separation and division are dratvn up?all our resources and property north of the Potomac will fall to nothing?those from abroad will be returned?and the most glorious republic the world has ever seen is . destined to fall !by fanatics fighting for a shadow, and political knaves hunting for preferment. Alio uurtn snouia do aroused in time against the agitators amongst-us. There istio party question in thS. If we are to save the Union, we must crush the trait ^ors-who have set this bail in motion.?N. Y. Sunday Times. v* Baltimore, Jan. 25, 10 a m.
