We acknowledge the receipt of the 6th number of this uew issue, and will be pleased to place it upon our list of exchanges. VVe copy to-day trom its columns, a letter written by Mr. Hubbard, member of Congress from the State of Alabama. Washington, Feb. 10,1850. Editor of the All#*: Dear Sir: Placed in my position, it becomes my duty to give public warning of threatened danger. I therefore beg leave to call Your attention to an article of the Washington Onion of this date. 1 containing the most remarkable developments of the session. In noticing a motto inscribed upon a block of marble, sent by the State of Indiana to be placed ,u? ?l UpOI) 1118 wasnillgK'll luuiiuiutiji, uic uiiiuii ir leges substantially, that its editors w agree with tlie sentiments contained in that motto." They go I further, and declare, that while they are for "justice and the Union," they are for the Union at all hazards, and under ever>- contingency. This beiug interpreted properly and truly at the present time, means nothing more nor less than that they prefer M abolition" to " southern independence." ' Now if southern editors take this ground, and the people permit them so to speak for them, the I North need not be more than four or five weeks in 1 abolishing slaver)' in the States. The negroes j would be put upon equality and voting at the next ; election, holding offices and exercising all other ' acts of citizenship; and, I can assure you, sir, that 1 I conscientiously believe that every candidate for the Presidency now, or who ever expects to be one, north or south, or who expects an appoint, ment through the Presidency, would now make no objection to this, if the southern voters and { people will only agree to be put on such terms of; equality. They are afraid of majorities entertain- | i?V different sentiments. Some say that this extraordiuarv article wss J not written by Mr. Ritchie, but by Mr. Burke, his I partner, who is a northern man. Be this as it may, I the mischief will be alike fatal to the South if not j every where denounced by all parties there; for it I only encourages aggression where it exists, and * -A? ? -* /mnrtoro mviltu II iruill UII1CI l|Um inr. As to myselt I have no fears for the South if its J people unite for one object. They grow the rice, , cotton, and tobacco of nearly the whole Union, and the cotton for the commercial world. If the Southern States would bum up a single crop, or refuse to make one, it would scarcely create suffering among our people, while H would break up, starve, and lay waste more country than I three ofBonaparte's campaigns. Neither the north- | em cities or England could stand the shock. We therefore " hare power"?not as tl?e rnajori l-??i ? U I ty given power, UJ' voice?UUI uic nnununui ruir stantial, destructive, and all-pervading power.? ! We have but to unite all tlie friends of our insti- I tutions, regardless of former differences, and sue- I cess is certain. The North must let us alone or be mined?for their multitudes must be fed?at least one million 1 of whom have been accustomed to live upon the j public treasury and the commerce arising from our j potion, rice, sugar and tobacco. If these supplies j grere withheld, they would be in the condition of a 1 liQBterous stock of hogs when the farmer's corn 1 gives out before there is mast in the woods. No 1 fence or enclosure can restrain'the strong. These i would turn upon their own capitalists, and vote j themselves part, or get supplies in souje other J manner. If the South should assert its own imUpendence tnd its eqimlity?for it should assert the first if the : latter is longer withheld?these agitators North, would be hung in four years. -II 1 4_ i If, however, cant ana nypocnsy i* hmuw rn it; f hare full sway, and abolishes slavery, then, in less I than twenty-five years, M Washington will be held 1 as a pirate, and Oiddings worshipped as a saint." j Respectfully and truly yours, IUVJD HUBBARD, i Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun. Washington, Feb. 25th. The great question is coming to an issue. It j will soon be seen whether the Senate can agree j upon any plan of accommodation. It is declared that unless some scheme be matured in the course of a week, the time will have passed in ; which any compromise can be made; for ceri tain occurrences mav be expected which will aggravate present difficulties. Mr. Foote's plan of a committee of thirteen Senators, who shall meet on a common and fair ground of adjusti ment, seems to he the best means yet offered for the purpose.^ There can be no doubt that the public mind at the South is becoming much inflamed, and there is an increasing disposition ( on the part of the South to take ultra ground. While Congress is temporizing and trifling with ' this question, the Union is actually in danger. It is a singular tact mat .\orinern seiiumeni can bo, with great difficulty, brought up to accept ; (Jen. Taylor's proposition to do nothing at pre| sent with reference to the territories. The ' North considers that as a concession, as is eviJ dent from Mr. Wiuthrop's speech the other day, ' and that is the very policy of delay and agita: tion which is l>reaking down -the Union. A continued agitation for four months will be bad enough, but if it is to be kept open till anotlier session and till another Congress, there can be but little hope of any conciliation. The whole question must be settled now, and the sooner the hotter. Those who have canvassed the opinions of the i Senators and members, are very confident that | a committee of thirteen Senators can be found who will agree upon a plan which would be satisfactory to the Senate, to the House and to the country. A number of publications and explanations have recently been made which tend to warn tne North that the danger of the crisis is underrated. Mr. Hillianl's card is well entitled to consideration as a timely admonition. 1 am inclined to believe that to-morrow or the next day, that if the Senate take up Mr. Foote's resolution lor a committee, it will be adopted. Mr. Calhoun will speak on Thursday, and Mr. I Webster soon after. ' ^To-morrow, it is probable that the Senate will go into Executive session for the purpose ol disposing of some nominations reported upon by the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Commerce. A rumor is very general that Gov. Brown, of Miss., has asked Col. Bissel for an explanation in regard to the statement made by that gentle riAH I n Kao I II 4a + 1? .X .4** ..f of tllO umii, IU mo mio as IU uic tuuuuti \jI U?V Mississippi troops at the battle of Buena Vista. Gov. Brown, iu his speech, had claimed great credit for them, which Col. Bissel utterly denied j to tliem; declaring that the sen-ice attributed to the Mississippians, was in fact rendered by an Illinois or a part of a Kentucky regiment, and tliat the Mississippi regiment was not present. Gov. Brown explained, at the time, that his assertion was correct, and tliat it could be substantiated by official records and credible wit nesses. According to rumor, the matter was in the hands ot Col. Jefferson Davis and (Jen. Shields, or the respective friends of the parties. It will no doubt be amicably adjusted, as it is merely a historical question; and every one knows that to reconcile historical accounts, even of recent transactions, is impossible. Ion. Washington, Feb .25,1850.?The compromise is "looking up," in spite of thefanaties; and the mind of Senators and members is beginning to be composed. The dissolution of the Union is not yet, nor ever will be, though such men as Mr. Giddiugs (merely to show, I presume, that they have not yet had their tails cut off by Mr. Winthrop,) will continue to present petitions praying for the dissolution of the Union. Mr. Webster spent a part of the time in the House conversing with members on both sides of the House; and tt is confidently asserted that | on Wednesday next the great Constitutional expounder will favor us with his views. Thev will be listened to with profound respect by all parties, and will go farto quiet the apprehension of the country. It is almost certain that Mr. Webster will go further in the way of compromise than Mr. Clay, and the South are confidently expecting their deliverance at his hands. Mr. Webster always wielded a greater moral power and influence than himself seems to have been aware of?it depends merely in him wbeth er lie will exercise it for the benefit of our common country. Mr. Calhoun has finished dictating his speech, which his colleague, Judge Butler, will, in all probability, read on Thursday next It will be a powerful production, perhaps the Lost we shall have from that extraordinary man, who, no doubt, has none l/ut honorable motives in all bis actions. A variety of compromise resolutions are, in the meantime, concocting in both houses; one by .Senator Dickinson, of New ^>rk?a gentleman whose popularity has become national; another from Mr. McClernand, the able chairman of the commitec on foreign relations in the House; and (Hen. Foote has again given ? e? i u.. UUUCtr MP IIItPVL' lur IIIU UJP[NPIIJUIJUIIl 11J IlUUtri, of a committee of thirteen to settle the question. MARRIED?Lant evening, by the Rev. W. T.
