We were absent last week, when the im portant accounts arrived in regard to the Sla very question in Congress. The most inter esting part of the debate, however, was copied into our columns. We continue the account I from the 20th. On that evening, the mem bers from the Slave-holding States held a meeting, the result of which was, that next ! morning Mr. Patton, of Virginia, their chair- J man, presented to the House the following resolution : ?. ?*-. - w Resolcedr That all petitions, memorials and pa pers toughing the abolition of slavery, or the buying. selKngor transferring of slaves in any State, District or Territory of the United States, be laid upon. the . table ^without being debated, printed, read or refer red, aud thatnofurther action whatever shall be had H&ereon." >?. - *' ( " Mr. 'Adams having objected to the recep- j tfon'of the Resolution, ' Mr. Patron moved a suspension of the rules, J which prevailed 5v hear two thirds, viz : 135 to 60. S Mr. Patton, in submitting his resolution, " then said, he had: offered it for the sake of peace' and harmony: It involves, he contin ued, aud so far as concerns some portion of the representatives of the slave-holding States, a concession ? a concession which we inake for the. sake of peace and harmony. We otfer it in the hope that it may allay, not exasperate ; not excite feelings we- desire to extinguish, h~0$:to kindle.

' -Mr. Preston wished to say a single word. Once, perba^' there was a time when these petirioDS"'Tmgbtvhave been received; now, hioweye^ he thought the time had passed by,c longer safe to receive-" them.-?* Though- the doors of Congress had. been "Ui^owu open, and they had been heard, yet J&e itrejsispread -wider, and is spreading widerrand ^derl - Why so ? It is said^ be cause the right of petitioning is; violated ; were; it not for this, we are told that the ex .citemeut would have died. away. But this assertion is in face of the fact that the right of- petition was" given and secured to the pe titioners. . We, the South, said at the time |hat the concession would lead to more con- ? .c^sioaisr and sait has proved the-' fire is not put. out buf is kindled worse and worse. \ETe s^eftt as_far as we could go for the. sake of peace fVe- gave an^amnesty; we receivedL "dM# petitions and r-th^v.-\are not .satisfied; ?.

They demand you to adopt their principles and- policy." The discussion of these matters was not agreeable to him, (Mr.^P) He thought that if Congress uoes not protect the South, it will be. obliged to protect itself. What the .South wants is -; pesice^Jet not this question be let in to light Upifee ti^cK. of discq^.;/~Mr. j^^-said; he! 'should not resort to discussion, but to. mea sures, to acts, for the protection of th^Soyth. -ThcSouth must be protected, andb he was disposed" to do it quietly -if possible", 'but," if 2tot, he would say with great emphasis, -^we will protect ourselves." ?* t T; # -MrV'Clay. said he would concur with the Senator from Georgia, if the Senate, by per sisting in their past course, could produce the saj>je calmness in the, country which it had done among" themselves. But it .was much more important that the country should "Be quiet than the Senate. Mr. C. had asked whether the excitement had been increased and by what cause ; with the view to ascer tain if -any thing could be done by the Sen ate to allay the excitement, and render the people quiet and happy. The reply was that the excitement was extending, and chiefly by -the impression that the great republican .right of petition had been assailed, which I ,'the petitioners chdse to assert, by acting with those with whom they erally had no, isympathvv f Mr- C. preferred that the two classes of petitioners should be separated, to" deprive the. abolitionists of the advantage' of mixing their, peculiar objects with., other matters. \ - \^% petitions, Mr. C. said, were first to he received; but was this all? v Was notHhis understood to imply deliberation on the question * The cold, simple act of*re"cep tioii, '^fo^dwed 'by an* instant rejection, "amounted -to not receiving, and must . give color to'-the charge that it is a substantial denial of the nght of petition. 'It had been said that this is uot . a case for argument ! What was it that lay at the Very bottom of all our free institutions? Argument, inqui -ry^ reasoning, consideration, deliberation. We were a reasoning people, and it was our greatest boast that we possessed reasoning powers capable of comprehending the vari ous subjects relating to a free Government. I Mr. C. thought- the best course was to re ceive these petitions, and refer them to the Committee of the District, to act on them as they pleased; and if the country should not then be quiet, let them make a report, embodying with the argument the various facts relating to the subject, several of which Mr. enumerated. The consequence of this. would be,, that those whowere described .ay^fonatics^ would be separated from those ? ^ ?4j?r - - who believed that th6 right of petition had been assailed. The Senator from Virginia (Mr. Rives) had stated that this course had been taken in the other House. . But let it be taken by both Houses of Congress. : Mr. Calhoun said he 'believed that the course pursued by Mr. Clay was calculated the most of all to produce an excitement. If a single step was yielded, the fanatical spirit would be reanimated with new excite ment; and those, theiefore, who so yielded, incurred a fearful responsibility; Mr. C. despaired, as far as the Northern part of the country was concerned, on the question of abolition. It was interwoven with the politi cal Condition of the North, in the nature and state of parties; and it would run, and must run in that channel, and develope itself in the arduous struggle of the nou-slaveholdmg States for political ascendancy. It was im possible to prevent its having a control over the political parties of the North. In 182.3 or '21, Mr. C. had suggested to a Senator, not now present, that the stfope of these abolitiou movements was to give the entire power over slavery to the Government. 1 le, on the contrary, "denied, that the A'orili were actuated by any -such spirit. But Mr. C. knew" the North ;? lie' had; resided there five years. The grearmass of Northern people believed that this Southern institution was radically wrong. *\ The result would be this : that abolition efforts would begin with the lowest grades of-society, and by gross mis-, representations; but it would gor upward and spread^ tand Mr. C. told that Senator that it w ould drive men like him out of the coun cils of *the^cpuntry? . . ? Th^|Tenator from^ejitucky had insisted implied" considering, disiciSsirig,^ deciding upon, them. .But in what situation jvouid all this put tlie South ern. States. T It would convert the halls of .Congress into- places for the discussion Jof abolition. M r. C> di d n o t^ask how the North would her affected ; his object was to keep the South united on this subject, with a sus ceptibility always aliveV They must first pre serve- themselves, for t^Sas a^estion in volving 'the very existetfee of the whole race i of the- South. - Their next object waa to.pre serve the Union ; and ^there . ?w as soother coursq .to do this, but -by, a united and . firm . resistance to^ these encroachments ; and the; earlier the 'bette'r.

Bffe; said he looked to; the whole Uhmo^iia rifegTany o'ne ^>ar(t or section more tlian abother. But he had nd such de^ spondehcies a$ the Senator from- - South Carolina, "as to the effects of this or any ' other conceivable qnestion on the subject^. JSehad no fears for the Union; but he had a desire to traoquilize eyery part, and give j no just-cause ofcomfilaint to any portion. iThe question was not- the same as to slavery in. the> ^District andv slavery in the States* ? But- what question was that in human affairs, ;< so weak, or so strong, that it" could, not. he. approached by argument and reason This - couhtry would, in every emergency, appeal to its enlightened judgment, and its spirit of union arid harmony, ? and the appeal would not be unsuccessful. ^ - Mr. Calhoun -said there were cases in which reasoning and argument -were both absurd and cowardly. II <t man should call him a rogue, should he stop to argue the point? There were things which were to be met not. with reasoning, but with instant in dignation.* Snpp6se a petition, were sent here tohurn the manufactories of the North, would Cl-he .Senator stop to reason about such a peti tion-? Or that the property ofthe rich should -beSgiven to the poor; would he reason about . ' r , S 2% p . - ' ?The- petitions proposed . abolition - in the District"of Columbm but on wlTat ground I?

The resolutions are as follows. ,'i.

Resolved, That our Sonuior3 in Congress be in-'1 j, strticted, and our Representatives requested, to pre f Sent the foregoing report and resolutions to thoir res pective Houses in Congress, and use their influence to carry the same speedily im-d eflTc? t. On the 2Sth Mr. Calhoun called up his Resolutions relative to aggressions of States, and of combinations of their citizens upon the Slaveholding Slates of the .South and West, ? an abstract of which 1 sent you in my last. He moved that they be postponed to Wednesday next and be marie the oider of the day for that day. Some discus-ion arose on this motion, in which Mr. Caiiioun expiessed the opinion 1 1 1 r something must be done bv the South on j his subject; that it \v ?is idle to expect any efficient action on ! the pari of the Non-Slaveholding Kepresen- ' tatiies they being embarrassed bv political j considerations; that this was the "nival dis ease of the country: thai it would be ht'ficr | to attempt to arrest the disorder to-day. than to-morrow, and Jo-morrow, than next'dav. Mr. Strange was willing to vote lor" the Resolutions, fie approved of th"ir princi- | pies, but he was opposed to ihe in'ioluction of any proposition, on t ] i : ? part of tin- South, w Inch \\ as calculated to inciwi .e an-1 continue agitation on this subject. Mr. Preston spoke in opposition to the ] Resolutions, as too abstract m their character, end as inefficient for any practical purpose. He assented to all the proposistion of his col league, but to assert them as abstractions, without' carrying out their principles by leg- | islatiori, would, he argued, be of no avail. / ' "Thou shalt do no murder," was a propo sition to which all agreed in the abstract, but it would be useless, without practical legisla tion. He also stated, that the Southern members were now engaged in. considering what general measure on this subject should ? be brought forward. . ? * ' ? j, Mr. Calhoun was willing and anxious, he said, to unite in auy measure, having in view thie protection of the rights and interests of the South, and he thought the adaption of these Resolutions would strengthen any ac- j tion which might hereafter be resolved on by the Southern members. The chief object of his^iroposition was, -to present the Southern yitiv of the question , and at the same time, to offer a ground upon which all Anti- Abolition Senators could unite. Mr. Calhoun's motion finally prevailed. The resolutions are as fol ' ' ?*; *; ' ~ - ^ V . /2e^t??Z, ^That in the adoption of th^ Federal Con stitutionf; ih^Ktatepadopting the same acted several ly, -as|frea*iridependent, and sovereign States ; and that each, for^elj^by its own voluntary assent, en tered the union with the view to its increased secu rity against a|I dangers, domestic as well as foreign, and the more perfect and secure enjoyment ofits ad-. I vantages, natural, political, and social.; J - Resolved, Tha^ in delegating a portion" of their powers to he eiereised by -the Federal Goyernmeht, the States retained,severally,theexclusive and solo I right over their own domestic institutions and police, ' and tire alone responsible for them ; and thai any in termeddling of any one or more States, or n combina tion of ^their citizens, with, the domestic' institutions -and police of the others, on any ground, orunderany I S^t^-whatever, politicaI, moral, or religipus, with le view to their alteration or- subversion, is an as- 1 gumption ofguperiority notwarranted by tlie C-onsti I tution, inslMtirig to the States intenered with, tending to^endanger their- domestic peace and tranquillity^ subversive of the objects for .which the Constitution ^was formed, and, by necessary consequence tending to weaken and destroy the Union itself. Resolved, That this Government was instituted and adopted by the several States of this Union as a com mon agent; iivwder to carry into effect the powers' which theyihad delegated by the Constitution for their mutual security and prosperity; and that, in fulfilment of this high and sacred trust, this Govern ment is bound so to exercise its powers as to give, as far as may be practicable, increased stability and "se curity to the domestic institutions of the States that compose the Union; and that it is the solemn duty of the Government to resist all attempts by one portion of the Union to use it as an instrument to attack the' domestic institutions of another, or to weaken or de stroy such institutions, instead of strengthening and upholding them, as it is in duty bound to do. Resolved , That domestic slavery, as it exists in the Southern "and Western States of this Union, compo ses an important part of their domestic institutions, inherited from their ancestors, and existing at the adoption of the Constitution, by which it is recogni sed^ constituting an essential element tn-lhe clistrU bution of its powers among the States, and that no. change of opinion or feeling on the. part of the other States of the Union in relation to it, can justify them or their citizens in open and systematic-attacks thereon, with the view to its overthrow ; and that all such attacks are in manifest violation of "the mutual and solemn pledge to protect and defend each other, gvep by the States, respectively, on entering into the onstitutional compact which formed the Union, and 'as such is a manifest breach of faith, and a violation ^of the most solemn obligations, morai and religious. ?f- Resmved, That the intermeddling' of any State or States, or their citizens, to abolish slavery in this Dis trict, or any of the Territories, on the ground, or un der the pretext, that it. is immoral or sinful, or the , passage, ofany act or measure of Congress, with that vfew, would be a direct and dangerous attack on the institutions of all the slave-holding Statesr - Resolved , That the union of these States rests on an equality of rights and advantages among its members, j and that whatever destroys that equality tends4a de stroytheUnion itself; nnd_thn.tit.is the solemn "duty of all;- rind-more especially of this body, which repre sents the States in their corporate capacity, to resist all attempts to discriminate between the States in ex tending the benefits of the Government to the seve ral portions of the Union ; and that Jb refuse to ex tend to the Southern and Western States any ad van-* -iage which- would tend to strengthen ocrender them more secure, or increase their limits or population by the annexation of new territory or States, on ? he as sumption or under the pretext that the institution of ^slavery, as it exists among them, isimmoral or sinful, ,<>r otherwise obnoxious, would be contrary to that equality of rights and advantages which the Consti tution was intended to secure alike to all the mem bers of the Union, and would, in effect, -disfranchise the slave-holding.Statcs, withholding from them the .advantages, while it subjected them to the burthens, of the Government. Various anti-'jTexan memorials having been presented, ... . - Mr. Preston gave notice," that in order to deprive political fanatics of this method of bringing themselves before Congress, he would at an early day offer to the Senate a p?ropositioa for the admission of Texas into . the.Union. - . V-i ?'* The abolition queslionjs. again vehemently' agitated in Congress. Iir the House of Re presentatives, it has been disposed. of for the present by ordering the petitions tdd>e receiv-;\ ed and laid on the table without further ac tion. We see this spoken of in several pa pers as a course similar to the Pinckuey resr olutions two years -ago. r""Not so ; lor. Mr. Pincknev's report recognised the right, of Congress over the District of Columbia. Be sides, the Southern members are now in -some degree fettered by that very measure Piuckney's, as they cannot well retract -what has been once yielded. .. -I- '??* ? ' :? ',<* The Southern members seem to have con sented to the reception of the petitions, in order that the abolitionists might be deprived of the pretext that the right of petition is de-. nied. We doubt the policy of yielding,, to mere expediency, a particle of our rights in this matter. Any Concession which the South makes is regarded by these people, not as given by our magnauimity, but extorted^ from our fears. According to the Irish prin-j ciple, "the best way to avoid danger, iis'tfr meet it plump. : ' The resolutions from Verino^will proba X "? - -- XJ^ilSrib. bly produce a veiy Excited debate in the Sc uate. The course lint their discussion may take will in a great measure determine the future aspect of the question. It seems to us that the South has already conceded move than could have Ijeen expected, in albowitig the matter of abolition to be mentioned in Gongress, in any shape whatever.
