( Finality of the Finality. Seldom has a vote occurred in Congress, and never a majority-vote that so completely confounded its elements as the vote of acquiescence in the Compromise last Monday. In the first place the Southern Whigs have been almost completely severed from a majority of their party, the Northern Whigs. And, as this Question has been made by them distinctly a party question, and eveif rtn Administration one, we consider the sectional division of that . party, as a fixed finality. The Southern Whigs will be compelled to organize as a separate party, or to unite with others in the South as a distinct party. We really think the treatment 01 me Southern Whigs by the Northern as very cruel. But we told them so long ago, and they would not believe. "Here ye wi3e saints behold your lord, your star? Ye would be dupes and victims, and ye are." But we behold immediately on the heels of this disastrous desertion, the same wavering of the border States that occurred on the Compromise. Mr. Ward, of Kentucky, delivered yesterday in the House a speech in favor of Gen. Scott, and we understand a Whig of Tennessee is prepared to do the same tlung. So Mr. Stan ley is out yesterday morning in the Republic with a letter in defence and support of General Scott This comes very promptly after the desertion of the Compromise, aud shows an alacrity in sinking or diving that illustrates the extraordinary discipline of submission tactics. Mr. Clingxnan, of the House, aud Mr. Morton of the Senate, have displayed more political sagacity than any two Whigs in Congress. They beheld from afer the result of Northern Whig policy and declined keeping it company. Messrs. Toombs, Dawson, and Stephens, we suppose, saw at the commencement of the present Congress the catastrophe which has now occurred, thouffh it is possible that they did not expect it to be so flagrant. They have been standing aloof; Messrs. Marshall of Kentucky, Gentry of Tennessee, Cabell of Florida, and others, have evidently been apprehensive of the denouement. The fate of the Democratic party does not appear to be much better. The editor of the Union undertook to organize it on the basis of acquiescence in the Compromise. He has asserted about forty times this session, that the Democratic party was, with a few trifling exceptions, united on the subject. Well, the vote is at length taken, and the result is that it is divided into three prongs?68 for the finality ; 20 Northern Democrats opposed to it, because too favorable to the South ; 17 Southern Democrats because too favorable to the North, and 32 Democrats taken with bad colds, coughs, asthmas, rheumatisms, and neuralgies. Not one half of the Democratic members voting in favor of this grand hobby of the organ?that aspires to be. , The defeat of the Administration is most sigi.al. Notwithstanding the extraordinary performances of the cabinet caravan last season in New York, there were but eleven Northern Whigs out of 61, that appeared in its support?and of this only five from the mighty State of New York, and none! from Ohio! The predecessor of the present editor of the -Union tr<xjuontly told uo that the rights of the South depended"on the Democracy of the North. Now here is a vote of 36 Northern Democrats only in favor of the Compromise, and 20 against it. . All this looks very much like the end of old parties and old organs. We would not be surTTm'nn on/1 PonnKH/> WPTfr flAW tft piacu l? VIIC VIWVU UUU A*V|/MW..V -v.- ? push their coalition forces to obtain the publicprinting, in order to save themselves in the general wreck. It is now demonstrated, as well as anything can be shown by evidence, that neither party is united on the Compromise, and it is even doubtful from the vote that has been taken, and from the missing, whether a coalition of the compromisers of both parties could succeed. As a party movement on each side the failure is total, as a coalition, its failure is rather probable, besides involving renewed and aggravated agitation.? Southern Press. The North and the Compromise. "VVe present an analysis of the vote on Mr. Hillyer's amendment, which shows how the Northern vote stood in the fifteeu States, to which we are to look for " the faithful execution'1 of the fugitive slave law. The strongest sticklers for the finality in the South, have not pretended that they hoped or expected to get indemnity for the past by the faithful execution of these measures, or rather of the only Southern one among them, the fugitive slave law, but tlicy have Dersisted that it would nivc security for the JT ~ C */ future. When the Southern Rights men insisted that reliance could not be reposed on the North, to observe even the stipulations of its own treaty, they were abused and denounced for it; and behold the result already. Out of . 140 votes, representing fifteen " free States," but 45 could be obtained on the largest vote given, 55 voting directly against it, and 40 dodging it, ami therefore not hound by it. Let the Union and Republic explain away this if they can. Northern vote on Hillter's Amendment : Teas. Nays. Absent.

The Rabto Gap.?We understand from a gentleman just returned from the Rabun Gap that books of subscription were opened at Clayton Georgia, on the 0th, for the BLue Ridge Railroad Company, and that on that day 5,530 shares were subscribed?equal to f553,000.

Bee of Friday morning, by a gentleman oi this city to transcribe the following passage from a letter received by bim a day or two ago, from the illustrious and venerable Henry Clay. It is in reference to a subject concerning which touch has been said. While Kossuth has exhonerated himself from the charge of disrespect to,"or vituperation of Mr, Clay,' if we understand him aright, he still believes that the publication ol the particulars of their interview was a breach of confidence, at which he was excessively " provoked." From Mr. Clay's language, it would appear that this interview was not regarded as confidential, and that Kossuth has no right whatever to complain of its having been made public. We think so too. t,r 'Jn i Qfto T npv W ASIIINOTU.V, 01AKI.ii OU, i i ....... ?... er distinctly understood what Mr. Kossuth said of me at Louisville. I certainly had given him no cause of otlence. The interview between him and me cannot be regard i d as private, as it certainly was not a confidential one. It was attended by three members of Congress, and the Attorney of the United States for this district, and would have been by others, but for my feeble state of health. "What I had said in my interview with Mr. Kossuth was variously and sometimes contradictorily represented in the newspapers. Under these circumstances Mr. Ewing, one of the members in attendance, prefaced the statement which has been published, and the substantial accuracy of which h;id been verified by another attending member. Over my own sentiments and language I thought I bad entire control, just as Gen. Cass thought proper to state to the Senate of the United! States, what he had said to Mr. Kossuth upon their .first interview Mr. Ewinf?. in his statement, treated CTT Mr. Kossuth with perfect respect, and said nothing to compromit him in the slightest degree. Such, iny dear sir, was the origin and such the motive of the publication alluded to. I am, with great respect, your friend and obedient servant, H. CLAY. Decision of a Slave Case.?The Supreme Court of Missouri at its present session decided a question of some importance in relation to the rights on master and slave. It was a suit to try the right to freedom of a negro slave who belonged to Dr Emerson, deceased formerly a surgeon in the United States. The suit was brought by the administrators of Dr. estate. In the evidence it appeared that while Dr. Emerson was a surgeon in the United States army, he was stationed at Rock Island, a military post in the State of Illinois, and at Fort Snelling, also a military post in the territory of the United States, north of the Missouri line, at both of which places the negro was detained in servitude?at one place from the year 1834 until April or May 183C, at other from period last mentioned until the year 1838. In the trial of the case in the Court below, the jury were instructed, in view of these facts, to 6nd for the slave?that he was, by being carried into Illinois and north of the Missouri, virtually set free. A new trial was moved for on -* t r ?;__is _ u.. .1? ...l,;,.k Hie ground OI inisuirecuuii uy uic vuurt, nuivu being denied a writ of error was taken, and the case carried before the Supreme Court of Missouri. The decision of that Court was pronounced by rJudge Scott, reversing the decision of the Court below, and remanding the case for a new trial. This decision overrules several decisions which had been given in former times by the Supreme Court of Missouri. Curious I'hciiomvuon. A correspondent of the (Greensboro Patriot, writing from Mount Airy, Surry county, N. C., gives the following description of a singular phenomenon that occurred on the 27th ult: Mt. Airy, N. C., March 28, 1852.?On Saturday, the 27th inst., we were visited by a phenomenon such as has never been witnessed in the recollection of any of our citizens. The day had been very smoky, and about half past 2 o'clock a cloud arose in the West, and came over with considerable thunder and lightning, and by 3 o'clock it was so dark that a person could not recognize his most familiar ac'iuaintance at five feet distance in the street; and five minutes after three it was as dark in the houses as at midnight. The darkness cominu-d until half past three when the cluud passed over, without a great deal of rain or wind. I sat in my house with my family dnring the darkness, with the door and windows open, and I could not distinguish the features of any one of tlicm so as to know who they were. A. D. [The darkness on that afternoon was a subject of remark here. It caused the chickens and the cooks to make rare mistakes;?the former flew up to roost, and the latter "^et about supper" long before night.]?Ens. Pat. The London Lancet records the death of a | tadesman's wife from swallowing pins. Upon a post mortem examination, the stomach was found to contain in its lower half, nine ounces of pins, broken, many very pointed. The contents of the stomach were very much blackened. The intestines contained a mass of pins, very tightly packed, various shapes, similar to those found in the stomach, and wholly obstructing the tube.? Their weight was about a pound. Respect of Aoe.?The Spartans obliged their youth to rise up in presence of the aged, and offer them the most honorable seats. At a theatrical represtation, when an old man, an Athenian, came too late to be able to procure a good seat, the young Athenians unanimously endeavored to sit close and keen him out. Abashed at this he hastily made his way to the seat appointed for the Lacedaemonians ; they alT immediately rose, and received him in the most honora ble manner. The Athenians, struck with a sudden sense of virtue, gave a thunder of applause and the old man excJaimedr' the Athenian; know what is right, but the Lacedaemonian: practice it. The Court of Common Pleas and Genera Sessions for Sumter District, says the Sumtei Banner of the 13th inst., adjourned on Thnrs day last. No cases of imj>ortance were tried du ring the .term. The short session of the Cour speaks well for the District. The sessions dock et took up but little time. THE SEMLWEEELY JOURNAL. ' ' FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 18, 1852. ?1 THO. J. WARREN, Editor.

We regret to observe that several of our cotempora rie9 are urging the propriety of South Carolina's being represented in the Baltimore Democratic Convention. We are free to admit that our State, so long as she remains in the Union shonld take part in the election ' j of President^ but we think the course she lias pursued j for several years past in relation to the nomination of candidates is the proper one on the present occasion. The little-influence she might exercise in the Convention won Id be more than counterbalanced by the evils , arising frem her countenancing (as she would do by ; joining the Convention,) the disgraceful trickery now used by the Presidential aspirants and their friends to secure the nomination. The recent vote in the House of Representatives on the Resolutions declaring the " finality of the Corapro- : misc," is a plain indication that the spirit of agitation ; is still in the ascendant at the north and only awaits a favorable opportunity to ro-commence aggression upon the South. These with other considerations, wo think, ' render it advisable that South Carolina, should stand aloof from the Convention, and forming no alliance with either party, when the time arrives, if necessary, make a choice of evils, and cast her vote for the candidate most likely to administer the government according to : the principles of the constitution. The course recommended to be pursued by tho South by Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, we think is deserving of consideration?it is (if we recollect it aright) that we remain neutral in the nominations of candidates for the Presidency, but when they are made, go with the party most favorable to the South. By pursuing this course we could wield an influence sufficiently strong to be sought after by both parties, and might thus j wring from the north an acknowledgment of those rights they now desire to withhold from us. 1 It Is true, and we are sorry to see it, that most of the Southern States seem to take a different view as to the course proper to pursue, and are making preparations to bo represented in the Conventions, but that is no reason why South Carolina should deviate from a course she has so long pursued. Mr. Jackson's Resolution. The following are the Resolutions adopted by the | House of Representatives on the 5th inst, to which | allusion is modo in the articles from the Southern Press, to be found in another column, and to which the attention of the reader is invited. Wo ore glad to t perceive that our entire delegation voted against them : Rosnloed, That we recognize the binding efficacy of the compromises of the constitution, and believe it to be the intention of the people generally, {is we hereby declare it to be ours individually, to abide ruch compromises and to sustain ! the laws necessary to carry them out?the pro-; | visions for the delivery of fugitive slaves, and the : j act of the last Congress for that purpose, inclu-1 I ded ; and that wc deprecate all further agitation 1 of the questions growing out of that provision of 1 the questions embraced in the acts of the last1 | CongTess known as the Compromise, and of j questions generally connected with the instituj tion of slavery, as unnecessary, useless, and dan\ gerous.

These papers are oil printed in a convenient form for preservation and binding, and at tho end of the year will form a volume worth half a dozon times the cost, i The day of opposition to " Book Farming" ban passed, \ and is numbered with the things that were, and a sub* j scription to either or all of tho above publications would bo a profltablo investment for every one who j cultivates a dozen acres of land.

Correspondence of the Charleston Covrier. Washington, April 10.?Every prominent movement in regard to the the next Presidential election is looked upon here with intense interest Yesterday, some sensation was produced by the intelligence from Albany, that the Legislative Whig Caoctts had unanimously declared in favor of General Soott as the Whig candidate for the Presidency. It appears that then were some thirty Fillmore or Webster members who did not attend the Caucus, where the majority was known to be opposed to them. Last evening, the general Caucus of Whig members of Congress was convened at the Capitol. The object of the meeting was to fix the time and place for the Whig National Convention. Even as to this, there was some difference of views. Among the places talked ofj were NewYork, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Annapolis, Richmond, Cincinnati, and Louisville. As to the time, the 17th of June, or the 1st of July, were proposed. But in the general caucus the proceedings did not go so far as even to discuss the main object of the meeting. Some of the Southern Whigs ^ made a preliminary difficulty in regard to a platform upon which the whig party was to stand, as a national party. Resolutions were offered in regard to the Compromise, and thereupon a very warm debate ensued. After a disscussion or wrangle of fonr hours ,the Caucus, without doing anything, was adjourned to meet on Tuesday week, tho 20th insti v. .u mere ni?y ue uiu ihl awvu<u wn * hut there will be no Convention of National Whigs. It is not likely, according to present appearances, that the Whigs who support the compromise and who designate themselves as , national, will go into a Convention with a party which they consider ns sectional. The short coming of the Northern Whigs upcn the Compromise question in the Honse last Monday, has produced a good deal of soreness, cn the part of their Southern allies. The apportionment question is not finally setlied by the Senate. -But it is settled that SouthCarolina shall have a representative for her fraction, and that California shall have two members. \n effort is next to be made toallow an additional representative to each State, whose portion shall be equal to that assumed for California?to ivit: 23,000.
