:MR. CLl^MANS SPEECH.""
The Charleston Mercury of Wednesday,
makes the following remarks oil the speech of
Mr? Clingrnan on the Wiiuiot Proviso?
We publish to day the concluding half of the j
recent speech of Mr. Clingman, of N. Cnroli. j
na, which made such a sensation in Washing- !
ton, and has so stirred up the bile of the northrrtt
press. The National Intelligencer, oflast :
{Saturday, in publishing it surmises that its con- j
tents,''should he not have already heard an ac- j
count of it, will astonish the reader." The In. |
tplligencer had already felt the stroke .of the j
trenchant blade, and knew the sensation. It !
had also time to observe the rage it spread i
atnon!? the Free-soil agitators. There was no !
mistaking the power of its cont-n?s to "aston !
ish" that sort of people. And it is that portion
of it which we copy, that has this power in an
especial degree. It is a bold and perfectly practical
view of the question. It "calculates the
value of the Union," such as we now have it;
and moreover it calculates the value and all the
consequences of disunion, with a calm audaci*
to and a truthful moderation, and arrives at a
conclusion logically unassailable that in every
,.c ?intowti ihe South would be a
HSpeci mi lino
gainer by separation. He does not advise or
desire such a course.?he reveres ihe Uuion^
and he is right in affiring that the Southern
people revere it?doubly right in affirming that
their ailachment is a sentiment, springing from
and fed by proud and glorious recollections, and j
in no degree dependent on the promptings of i
interest, of fear, of doubt as to their ability to '
take and maintain for themselves a place among
the foremost nations of the Tjarth.
And this sentiment of l?\p and reverence
for the Union as an inheritance Irorn our Miners, |
is daily weakening and fading before the wick- |
ed assaults of tho<e who are bent on compelling i
us to think of it only as an engine tfith which
they can insult and injure us. How long do
they suppose a mere idolatry on the past can
make us callous to the "whips and scorns" ol
the present? The very faculty of cherishing j
th? ulories of a heroic age, is an assurance that j
ibe instinct ol honor, the lore of liberty, and the
pride of independence, are fresh and strong.?
The North has trifled with these too long and
loo madly, not to have thoroughly loosened the
whole foundation of the Union. It will be
patched and crazy, full of alarms and easy of
assault, in all time to come; and for this desecration
and deslruct on, the North is responsi.
Me. We ask for bread and they have given
ns a stone: for fish, and they have given us a ;
serpent. We ask for peace and the right to j
enjoy our own in quiet?-that defiei'ion and
compend of just government,?-and they have j
answered us by hostile agitation* in the C'on ;
federate Legislature; by unconstitutional an I
destructive laws in the States; by protecting !
the ships that kidnap and the mobs that piu'ti-J
dcr our properly: by making it a condition ol
the Union that we should be stigmatised as inferior
members of it, and denied the right of
sharing in its possessions. This is but a faint
sketch of what they have done, and a dim fore,
shadowing of what they threaten to do. And
yet wo are called rash, hot headed, and most
unreasonable, because we are not satisfied with
so blessed anil glorious a Union as is here set 1
forth! There, are even Southern men who i
sing ihe.se slavish notes. We have all Mr. i
Clingumn's contempt for such; and for those
who are not Southern, arid who pitch the key, ;
we answer them with Mr. Clingman's plain
defiance.
For the rest, Mr. Clingman is a leading whig,
and represents the Mountain District of North
Carolina, where there arc perhaps fewer slaves
than in any other Congressional District in the
South. In every aspect then, this bold posi.
nf hi* rli>Acrveg the consideration ol the
whole country. It shows how strong are the
elements ol union at the Smith, and how baseless
are the calculations oft hose who havo sup.
posed that it is only the larye slaveholders who
care to resist the aggression of Abolitionists,
and only they who would shrink from being
place I on a level with emancipated negroes.
Mr. Clingman represents truly the spirit of his
constituents. No pari of the South will, in the
day oftiial, show a sterner determination to
defend her honor and her safety, than the hardy
and gallant people of the Mountains.
Mr. Clay's Proposed Compromise.?Pub- j
lie attention had been aroused for some time, I
by announcements in various forms, that a compromise
on the question of slavery now assuming
such a threatening aspect, would be offered
by the distinguished Senator from Kentucky, and
itV those whose efforts were directed to sup.
press agitation and excitement, which to them
seemed unnecessary, the hope was encouraged
that peace and harmony would be restored, the
Union rescued from the perilous crisis and the
lights of all effectually and abundantly secured,
not only from encroachments now meditated,
but from any fear of similar attacks for the future.
We need not nay that under such circumstances,
propositions leading to a settlement
of this question would receive all due consideration.

periods, when dangers like the present

the importance of (he question now admitted
by nil?to ensure a candid hearing on the part
of the people at large to the propositions which
are now before the public
for ourselves, wc candidly confess such considerations
were not without their weight ;
doubtful as we were as to the policy or the possibility
of further compromises on this ques
lion, we still felt that oven a proposition to corn- ;
promise proceeding from such a source should
be met with no captious objections, hut listened
to in a spirit of candor and impaitiality, and
received or rejected accordingly. Approaching
ihp subject then in such a temper, we need not
(Jisclai ii any wish or desire to impugn the mo- j
lives of any. There is much in the aspect of
affairs to a ousc the nobles an I purest motives,
and we nepd not seek for no other in explanation
of the coursp pursued by Mr.Clay in offering
his plan, or in the course thai may bp, adop.
ted by others in the matter, and we will not in
dulgcthe fruitless inquiry, whether rjfr.cl rhptor.
icai or political, was the principal aim of this or
the other passage of the remarks by which those
resolutions were introduced to the Senate, and
to the people.
We would look but to the resolutions themselves,
and to the dangers they arc intended to
meet, and we find enough to lead its to the
opinion thai the proposed compromise must
fail?that it cannot and will not be adopted ?
and that if adopted, it would and must fail?utterly,
and totally fail in accomplishing the oltj"Ct
in view, unless that object be made to luP,
by a temporary and deceitful calm, the storm
now brewing, and threatening to burst with
unparalled fury.
Nay, we find even in the remarks of Mr.
Clay?those, we mean, referring to the difference
of position in the North and the South on
the slavery question, to which we would invite
serious attention?wp find, we say, even there
abundant reason to condemn the propositions
as utterly inadequate, and consequently as unworthy
of reception. They are in the aggressive
in every sense of the word?ire on the defensive.
They claim the exercise of power,
unconstitutional and unnecessary, not demanded
by Congress in order to discharge its legiti.
male func ions, and not requiried to secure any
one established right either of*Northern citizens.
T Vc oppi s? the exercise, of that power. With
them the comba; is inspired by "sentiment,"
(to use Mr. Clay's language.) by fanaticism,
morbid philanhropy, and radicalism of the protean
forms. With*us the question is of right,
of death, degradation and dishonor?tinder such
a state of things a proposition fur the Seuih to
surrender is called a compromise. It is true
ii~ . ri
we are not called upoa nominally u> give up cm,
at the present moment, but the only peace offering,
the only substantial surrender of right
and of principle, is to be bv the South, and we
are offered no guaranty that the same spirit may
not demand everything on the fir.-t convenient
pretext.
We intended to go into an examination of
Mr. Clay's propositions seriatim for the purpose
of giving plainly the ground* of the opinions
we have expressed, Our in is wouta now icau us
beyond our allotted limits.
The resolutions themselves will no doubt be
fully discussed, and we shall have an opportunity
of laying before our readers the results of
such discussion. In the meantime let them
judge for themselves, for on them, and on their
children must fall the results of the final decision?Columbia
Telegraph.
The Question for the North.?The
Philadelphia Bulletin concludes a late article,
..-i TT_- IM ,U? f?lt?...
onliliea " >y nai 01 uie union : won mo iuhuw
ing words :
"From the observations which one of the
editors of this paper made in Washington, wc
feel justified in asserting that, before many
months, the people of the North will he called
on t > deride whether they will havo the Wilmot
proviso icHlioul the Union, or the Union
nut the Wilmnl Proviso."
The opinion we have expressed on several
occasions recently is thus being confirmed by
our daily observations; and those who have
hitherto regarded the present state of feeling at
tho South as a mere sham, gotten lip by ultraisls
and political managers, lor selfish purposes,
are now forced to treat it seriously, and to believe
that theSopih, the people ot the Southern
States are really ana decidedly in earnest.
?? t i ? i
Our friends of the XMoruJ nave ueen cuiauw
ting the degree of provocation and insult to
which a generous and confiding" people would
submit, for the sake of peace and harmony, and
they are warned even by Northern prints that
may miss that limit, and take lhe "one st6[> too
far," which cannot be retraced. The question
in that respect, belongs properly to them; with
us it remains to decide between honor and degrading
submission, and such uii nletrnativc to
a Southern heart can present but little difficultylh
AU*
Female Sailors.?Several instances of fomales
who have donned the garb of sailors and
followed the sea for years, have been recorded
lately. We are informed that there is a case
of the kind in this city, ft is that of a woman
twenty-six years of age, whose birth place was
in the British provinces. Some six years ago
*he was wronged by an Fnglish sea captain,
whom she determined to follow for the purpose
of reparation or revenge. For five years she
searched for him in the dress of a sailor, in
nearly every quarter of the world, without be.
ing able to reach him. At length, at Liverpool,
she met with an accident in consequence Oi

the swinging m Hie Jin nnnm. wueu ner sei
was discovered. She arrived here on her return
from Liverpool, a week or two since, and
some persons who are interested for her are
endeavoring to get her a passage to Halifax,
where she represents that she lias property
and friends.?Jioston Traveller, Jan. 25.
Gas.?Dr. Gesner lias discovered a new
illuminating gas, which he exhibited last night
at No 93 Liberty si i net, in the presence of a
company of gentlemen, somnwhat'distiiigiiished
for their scientific attainments. With the ttse
of a retort recently invented by him, in which
he placpd a pound ofbitnrnen or mineral pitch,
obtained from the Island ol i nnulad, lie eiic
cceded in producing in about twenty minuteR,
nearly six cubic feet of gas that burned with
unusual brilliancy?sufficiently to supply one
burner four hours. The Doctor says that gas
can be furnished in this manner possessing a
much higher illuminating power than that now
in use, and at a much lower rate. Uy introdu.
oing his patent retort into common gas-works,
iho expenses of manufacturing, he says, will
be reduced two.thirds.?.V, Y. Jour, of Com.
It is suggested in a Texan paper that the

of the State to Washington Monument- The

did on the day when Travis, Crockett, and their
fellow heroes were masacreed, and it is said to

I>ring into notice another class ot individuals
who contribute as much to the necessities ol
mankind, as the printers do to their tastes and
amusements?I mean the Apothecaries ; for
none buy their Physic unless the.y are obliged
to, and then only as a remedial agent, and only
when p.iin or disease requires it. Yet under
all those circumstances, they have never in ine
manner the printers do, denounced any awful
conseqences, resulting from the neglect
to pay them. When the printer is reposing
calmly in his bed, without fear of being distur- i
bed, the Apothecary has often to rise at night, J
i ii.? n-ii,-.ici<>r!n?T to the relief of the
,1U1 ?
suffering; even on I he Sabbath day, the Printer
can remain quietly, at home with his family, <
while the other is often called away from his
home and his family, to attend the calls of the
afflicted; which calls he obeys willingly and >
cheerfully, not for the more profit which he ex
- i-i- ? J..,?
pects to realize, but because ne iguia u u. umi
incumbent upon him to attend such calls, no i
matter when they are made. Now if all this
I be true, and few I think will deny the fact, is it
| not equally incumbent upon those who have
been the recipients of their attention and courtesy,
to say nothing of the remedies, to come i
forward at the end of twelve months and show
their appreciation of such self denial pro bono

Apothecary learns loo, to hold up dreadfid con.

From the Columbia- Telegraph.
The interests of the South Carolina Railroad
ire made to suffer every year by an excitement, i
;ot up, fir what cause it is difficult to penetrate,
f the idle rumors and secret whisperings agauist
he administration were half to lie credited,
here would he no difficulty of reform hy the
luthority of the stockholders. Earii year in
succession have, inquisitorial examinations lieen
mil, and committees appointed for inve?tiga- ;
ions, and the stockholders have adjourned sus.
a in ino the a'doiinisi ration. We. still hear the
arne old complaints ru?<: th/ouj?h every change, l
tild their death knell has been anain and a?:tin
oundod over thi'ir graves. The discontented i
t seems are not to lie satisfied short of substiuting
themselves and friends in the places of
hose whoso supposed fat offices and power
hey covet. But a few days since I read in a
Boston paper a recommendation to correct si.
nilar proceedings in that city.
It appears there was a Railroad similarly sitinted
with ours. The ins were annually aslailcdto
the annoyance of the stockholders, and
be outs who wishe 1 position were the instigaors
to most of the rumors and insinuations to
he prejudice of the ins. The Boston editor
icnsibly remarked that it was time to put u ter- :
notation to this warfare ? that though he knew 1
loughl to the disadvantage ofthe adrrf n'slia'ion, !
ret the interests of the company and the securi j
y ol (he property of the slockholdcis would
ipoin to demand a thorough change, without lacing
part with either of the contending paities.
Fliis recommendation strikes me forcibly, and 1
espoctfully suggest that we place a new Vrcsiling
Officer and Board in charge of ihe Road.
Jive an honorable acuoittal to those who have
to long enjoyed the confidence of the stockholders
; arid do not let it he supposed that the endess
warfare of opposition will he countenanced

mismanagement talked of exists, the whole j
lioard are concerned in it and not alone the j
President, for surely the Hoard can overrule j
iny ot his acts hy their votes if they disagree i

>nme tinx* since |?rt*(lici?*tl (hat flip Cotton crop j
for lho ruripnt year would not exceed 2,2o0,000 I
liales. The following is an extract fiorn a let
tor just received Irom the Professor by a friend
in Savannah. It is dated at .Montgomery, Ala- j
I).una:
"The factors and planters are talking very ;
strongly of a short crop. Some good judges!
bring the crop down to two millions.
The Atlantic ports . . . 700.000
Florida and Texas . . 200,000
M'.l.M* . . . 350.000
New Orleans . . . 7o0,000
2,000,000
"I cannot put forward a very confident opinion,
on the icceipts in tho (itilf, lint the crop
will nlmost certainly fill below my estimate in
Hunt's Magazine. Prices are up, and they
will go still higher."
The low interest on money in England is
attracting attention, and the opinion lias heen
expressed that the abundance and cheapness of
capital will probably lead to excesses in speculation
resulting in financial catastrophes. A
London letter in the National Intelligencer
says?
One of our most competent authorities in j
those matters (Mr. Jones Lloyd) lias erected j
into a system those altercations of prosperity and i
distress which arc manifested in the comtner- j
rial life of great nations. Sir Robert Peel, in j
the. memorable debate on the crisis of 1847,
attempted to prove by history that the reduction
of the interest below a certain rate was invaribly
the prelude of extravagant and reckless
speculations; which in their turn, necessarily induced
a disaster in commercial affairs. The
crisis of 1784, 1793,1310, 1825, 1335. and in
1939 had in this respect given warnings, which
were, in his opinion, completed by the crisis
of 1847. At the end of 1847 the ^ato of inter,
est charged by the Rank upon the best paper
was 8 to 10 per cent.; it is now only two per
cent, with the coffers overflowing with gold.)
and a legal power 10 expand its issues nearly |
50 per cent, beyond their present amount. We !
are evidently approaching a period when the I
nation, conscious of new facilities and increas j
cd power, will naturally look about for some ,
now employment of its accumulated means.
T~ . . i
Ofthe 8145,000,000 ot our exports, during
the last commercial year, no less than 111,000,000
consisted of our agricultural productions!
This exemplifies the preponderance of the industrial
interest of the larmifr and planter, tinussisted
by the ndventitiotis aid of n tariff in
their favor. Then, why is this overwhelming
great interest to be taxed, not to cornpen?ale,
but to enrich a minor one, by aid of alarifi.

Consumption is tl?o great curse of our northern lati*
tudes. It is the blight of domestic felicity and the
dcspoiler of beauty. It roh^lio cheek of its healthful
bloom, the mind of its serenity, and the eye of iu
brilliancy. It wastes the form, dims tho intellect,

and the old, the serious and the gay, tho city belle, the
country lass, are alike its prey and its vistims. Blessings
