Fellow-Southerners! the long agony iu congress
is ever, and the struggle is past! The
North is triumphant, and your uative South has
been utterly routed in the contest, aud is here
helplessly prostrate and trampled upon! Faithful
and intrepid minorities iu both Houses stood
by her to the last, and kept outnumbering hosts
at bay. and would finally have vanquished them,
but Souther?d?sertidn9 augmenting their forces,
'and inspiriting their courage, in serried phalanx
and with overwhelming odds, they charged
once more, and nil was lost! But even a vie- ]
tory so thorough as this could not sufficiently
humiliate and disgrace the South, without a
? public triuronh and exultation over her! Accordingly,
from the slave-soil of the District,
and within ear-shot of Washington's tomb, an

the frtdignation and ire with which ever)*
Southern patriot must contemplate revels and
rejoicings over snch oppressive ard wrongful
successes as these, it would be the paper huzzas
aud vivas with which those Sou'hem journals,
the Union, Inlcllipenctr, and Republic, nourished
and enriched as they have been, through
Southern patronage, have hailed, recounted and
applauded the passage of these bale&il measures,
and these greetings and gratnlations over
them. But lot us pass from the9e exasperating
memories in quest of what there be in those ex
fraoidinary proceedings of Congress, of such
advantage to the South, in fruition or in promise,
that Southerners should have supported, or
that Sou'liprnert should have rejoiced in them!
A vast majority of your Legislatures, with |
Virginia in the lead, passed resolutions last win- !
tcr, didn't they ? that the people of these States |
respectively would not submit to " the. Wilmot i
Proviso or any kindred mnasurebut would i
resist the same " al ail hazards and to every extremity."
They had no objections to "the
- Wilmot Proviso nor any kindred measure," had
they ? further than to the aim and tendencies of
either, to deprive their citizens of their equal
rights in common with the citizens of the free
States, to in'grate with their property to any

None \? hatever. It was uot then against the
mere name- of the Wilmot Proviso, that so grave
and imposing a menace was aimed, was it ?? j
Most certainly not Then it was the deprioa .j
tion of their citizens of their equal rights in |
these Territories, uthich-ihey would not submit I
to, and would resolutely resist "at all hazards |
and to the last extremity" whatever the measure,
or whatever the name through which that j
deprivation should be effected?was it not so ? i
Exactly and to a certainty?and for that very 1
reason, and "to make assurance doubly sure," j
and for 110 other purpose whatever, they em- ;
ployed the alternative language of "any kindred
measure," which any measure must be,
that would deprive them of the rights they asserted
to theirs, and which thev professed to
protect, (jod help the recreant and dastard
State, which.should have sullied her escutcheon
witli u braggart's menace, by now "eating her
own words," and recoiling from her position in
defence of her rights, and under the cowardly
equivoque, that though equally bereft of her
rights under the process resorted to, as if it had
been the proviso itself, yet that the. form of words
through which the bereavement was menaced,
though substanlvitly was not technically me
same! Foil! That might do for vaporing
Massachusetts, hut such shuftling poltroonery
will never brand with its disgraces, (may Heaven
forfend the shame!) any of the sovereign
Communities dwelling South of Mason and Dixon's
lino! But passing from this, and we are
at once reminded that Congress has at last ta.
ken final action upon all tie territory acquired
from Mexico, and it was about the disposition
which was to he made thereof, that all the State
resolutions had reference, and thisatoncebrings
u? to
THK RKSUI.TS. g
What is certain is, that the Wilmot Proviso t
itself is now in fall force and operation through- t
out California, from the 32d to the 42d degree r
of nortli latitude, and that this act has been
wholly consummated through the action of Con
gress, and that Southerners are excluded en- t
tirel}', absolutely, and for aye, from migrating i
and settling there with their property! (
Wc have the high authority of Messrs. Clay, |
Cass and Webster?the first the originator, and j
all of them the zealous and the ablest support- 1
ers of these measures?for stating that the prin- i
ciples of the Wilmot Proviso, in the form of a >
Mexican interdict ion of slavery, is now in full I
force and operation in these Territories, respec- I
tively, as now organized by law, and explicitly <
recognized and adopted as such by Congress I
itself in its repeated refusals to abrogate such i
Mexican laws, or to empower the Territoral I
Legislatures to give police protection to slave i
property, or to prohibit them from legislating ]
to abolish or exclude slave property thither, I
should the Judicial Power determine that the
Movic.an ahti-slaverv laws had not survived the i
cession in the Territories ceded!
It it certain, th/it the State of California thus
admitted into the Union, and the Territories of
Utah and New Mexico thus organized, cover
and include every acre of the Territory which
was acquired by treaty from Mexico!
U is certain, that, through the action of Con
gress, the South has been entirely and forever
deprived of even a foothold with her property,
upon the least portion, North or South, of those
extensive and opulent domains, and is forbidden
even to partake with her slaves, of the millions
upon millions, which Foreigners from all
part3 of the earth and the seas with theirs (the
peons of iMexico and South America, and the
coolies of India) have been permitted, (Ay time
who call themselves our Brethren, God help us!)
to spoliate and enrich themselves from the public
treasures which, by every right which can
c.mfer title among men or nations, by conquest
and by purchase, by the shedJing of blood and
the lavishing of treasure, and upon every principle
of Justice, Equality, and the Constitution,
is, and ought to be, as much ows as theirs !?
But our rights and privileges, domains and treasures,
are all taken from as by Our Brethren
?passed over to the uses and the thrift of Foreigners?and
to amounts reaching already,
(says common report,) to the whole amount of
the nominal purchase-money, ($15,000,000,)
which was proffered and accepted for the whole
acquisition! But be this as it may?
It is certain, that the North has appropriated
to herself and fee soil, and destituted and excluded
the South forever from every foot 'of
California, Utah, and New Mexico, from their
dominion and their domain, their culture and
their treasure!
the south pavs three-fourths, the north
onb-fourtii, of the mexican war debt.

whole .extent to which oppression and wrong
could reach, or would dare ; but it is (kiather
all nor the worst, and falls far short of the reality.
An 8100,000,000 of the debt we contracted
to prosecute the war against Mexico,
fjjwt ?l* -rr>'trrse 73 lhf? pr<U)pr mpawiru of
what these Territories have cost us,) remains
unpaid. But, you are ready to ask, what fur
tlier interest can the South have in that ? Inasmuch
as the free States having appropriated
the whole acquisition to themselves, they will of
course pay the irhoJe balance of the outstanding
debt. Never in your lives were you the victims
of a grosser mistake. With the despotism of
numbers, your task-masters demand of you your
full share of these 8100,000,000 of indebtedness
* ' B J _ .1 II
tor which you will not nave receiveu a uunars
worth of consideration ! And what, iliink you,
will your shire be i If the Federal revenues
were collected throguh direct taxation under
the constitutional rotio of Federal numbers,
(taxing three-fifths of the slaves,) the North's
share of the amount would be three-fifths, or
9000,000,000, and consequently the South's
share two fifths, ir 840,000,000?an amount
quite large enough to pay for nothing! But
the revenues being collected through the customs,
inoro than reverses the apportionment of
indebtedness between the North and South upon
tho basis of Fedral numbers ; for, with the
revenue so collected, the North will have to
pay but one-fourth or 8*25,000,000 of the
amount, while the South must pay the residue
of three fourths, or 875,000,000 of this Mexican
war debt, and reap nothing of the fruits
save the memories she retaius of that chivalrous
honor of those surpassing exploits of her brave
sons, which hive given her name to history and
renown, and of which neither detraction nor
oppression can defraud or deprive her! This
will seem incredible to the mass of you, I know,
u. < _? ,L_ ?:?i? ?a
Out !l mevitauiy results iruui uiu ^inicipic nnu
the fact that the cousuiners pay the reveuue collected
through the customs, (as well as vast
amounts besides in commissions, freights, exchanges.
<kc.,) and that Southern consumption
of foreign fabrics and products, not on the free
list, bear just that proportion to Northern consumption
of the same articles?and the excess
of the comparative consumption is fully and
safely attested through the excess in value of
the South's over the North's exports?which
pays for her excess in the consumption of the
imports. But, to make this surer, 1 resort to
the appendix of that admirable pamphlet entitled,
"The Union Past and Future," by Muscoe
Hunter Garnett, Esq., and give you an esti
mate which he has drawn from the Treasury
Reports themselves.
Taking the four years ending June 30,1845,
and the gross amount of duties collected at the
customs, amounted to $06,125,349. Of this
amount upon the ratio of their exports, the South
paid $70,700,000, and the North $19,425,149
whereas, if the same gross amount of revenue
had been collected through direct taxation, and
on the Drinciule of Fedeal numbers, the South
would have paid less than half that it paid
through the customs, say but $37,839,356,
while the North would have paid treble, to wit:
$58,275,993, showing a difference against the
South through the mode of collection, of just
$38,850,644. which was both iniquitous and
oppressive ;yet Mr. Webster was so disengenuotis
and insincere, as to lavish his pruises on the
free States some years ago, for their forbearance
and liberality in not taxing t^rco-fifths of
ihe slaves, well knowing at the time, that forbearance
uud liberality were rewarded, by a
laving of more than thirty-three and a third per
xntum, to the North, by taxing the South
hrough the customB instead of her slaves!
The Public Domain and Gold Mines escheated
to California.
But through a remarkable piece of good fortune,
the discovery, of extensive and seemiug
nexliaustible deposits in gold duBt and and oth*
sr forms of bullion, it was apparently of but
rilling consequence, upon which section the
jayment of the war-debt cheifly devolved,?
for in the depths of these unexplored treasures,
lot only did rapid and thorough reimbursement
?eem sure and near, but the day seemed hard
jy when the citizens of all the States were to
be dispensed with their contributions in support
af Government, and have a large supertlux troin
the placers and the mines, to meet all the reasonable
wants of the States, for public education,
general improvements, dec.; but now, alas!
through precipitate and bungling legislation,
both the domain and the treasure are irretrievably
lost to tiie States, and California takes all!
1< or more than a century past, has the public
code of the world proclaimed as the law, tket
when sovereignty was conferred upon any people,
all tne rights of eminent and useful domain
passed with it as its muniment, uuless the same
had been reserved, through a public Act to

W HICH fclicu pvup&e iiou oi/vtuvu, wi^iw ?..vj
were seized ul the sovereignty which proclaimed
them a state. This is more emphatically
the case with a new State entering intcour
federation?for the Constitution, wlnie recognizing
the right ot' this Government to hold public
domain lor all purposes within a Territory,
specially restricts the holding it in a Stale to the
enumerated uses of "torts', magazines, arsenals,
dock-yards, and other neediul buildings," ?
and hence if Congress admits a Suite into the
Union, be lore disposing of the public domaiu
within its borders, or without obtaining an ordinance
of relinquishment from her, prior to
her admission, the domain passes with the
sovereignty, and not even a right of sutferance
over it remains. Such was Che opinion of our
fathers before the Union was formed, for a
special clause in the Ordinance of 1787, expressly
protected the public domain in the
iSorth Western Territory from escheat, by constituting
the Ordinance a compact, to wuich the
States that were to be formed out of it must
assent, before their admissiou into the Union,
and thus relinquish all title or claim to the
public lauds wiuun tueir uoraers; auu upou
this principle, and with this precaution, has every
Congress that has been uonveued since die
loundaUou of the Government until now, atiiriueiltlie

formed out oi tne public domains, ordinances
of relinquishment prior to aduiitliug tbein into

for it, but that iu the opinions of all
tnese Congresses, by the conversion of a Federal
Territory into a Sovereign Stale, without
such a compact, the title to the useful as well
as tne eminent domain, would pass aa a muniment

Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury.
Washington, Sept. 14.
The consideration of the bill abolishing the
slave trade in the District of Columbia was re
sumed to-day in the Senate. The question was
on striking out the amendments, made in cornmitt**,
providing for the punishment of persous
guilty of inciting slaves to abscond, and conferring
the power on the ^authorities of Washinton
to pass laws in relation to free negrpes.
This was opposed in able speeches by Mr.
Badger and Mr. Bell, who warned the advocates
of the bill, if these amendments were
stricken from it, that it would be looked upon
by the South as another act of aggression, and
would add to the excitement already prevalent
in that section. Mr. Hale and Ewing followed
on the other side, and pronounced the
amendments preposterous and shocking to the
moral sense of the age, and indulged in much
of that pharisaical cant and superciliousness of
manner, so common with puritanical philanthropists
when speaking of the South and of
Southern institutions. Mr. Mason said that
such doctrines, so disparaging to theslaveholding
States must go far to demonstrate to them
how impossible it is for them to long remain
under a common government with those who
indulge in them. The question being taken
on the amendment for the punishment of slave
stealers and those instigating them to abscond,
and it was defeated?ayes 22, noes 26. The
question was then taken on the amendment
giving the city authorities power to pass laws
respecting the free blacks, of whom there are
about 12,000, or nearly one-third of the entire
population, within the corporate limits, and it
was also rejected?ayes 20, noes 28. The bill
was next ordered to be engrossed by a vote of
32 to 19. The only votes from the Southern
? ^1 - ? IT 1 1 1
States were Bonton, e^iay, unuerwoou, unu
two Delaware Senators. Messrs. Fremont and
Gwin voted on every vote with the North. Mr.
Cass and Douglass kept out of the way while
the votes were taking on the amendments, but
voted for the bill being engrossed. It is an important
step in the march of aggression on the
institutions of the South, assuming as it does
for the first time, the power to suppress the
slavo trade within the Southern States, and
the power to emancipate slaves held in bondage.
The Foderal Government is taking a decided
Btahd against slavery, and the present Execucutive
will not be backward in pushing to the
full extent the powers conferred upon him by
Congress. England never pluced herself in so
hostile an attitude to her colonies, as the Federal
Government now occupies in relation to the
Southern States, and the end is ndt yet, for we t
are informed that the Abolition triumphs so 1
far are only an important step to an important v
end. u
The House of Representatives disposed of ?
Mr. Richardson's report in the Ewing case by
substituting Mr. Vinton's amendment by a vote
of 94 to 84, and then rejecting the. amendment ?
by a vote of 93 to 90. This was followed by 1
a movement in favor of the Protective policy, c
which was concocted some time since in a 1
caucus of those interested, and it was generally *
understood that the bantling was generally s
passenger of the Compromise Omnibus, and t
the only one in which Pennsylvania felt any in- y
terest. Mr. Toombs led off by stating that
some weeks ago he was directed by the Committee
of Ways and Means, to which had been
referred a number of petitions for a modifies- t
tion of the tariff", to report that in their1 opinion j
such modification was inexpedient Since that
time, said Mr. Toombs, events have occurred t
which render any action in reference to the -j
report a question of inferior moment, butin accordance
with the duty devolved upon him, he
submitted it for the action of the House. Mr.
Vinton moved to amend the resolution, by sub- '
stituting a resolution instructing the Committee '
of Ways and Means to report a bill on Tues- '
day next so modifying the present Tariff that <
duties should be based on the average market
value of similiar articles in the principal ports j
l of the United States for the year ending June
30, 1846. This would increase the duties generally,
about 40 per cent and on iron from 80
to 100 per cent. A motion was made to lay
the whole subject on the table, but it was neg.atived?ayes
93 noes 94. The question was
then taken on Mr.. Vintou's substitute for Mr.
Toom's report, aud it was negatived?ayes 93,
noes 96, although Mr. Tooms, Mr. Stephens,
Mr. Hilliard, aud nearly all the Southern whigs
voted for it, while Mr. Alston of Alabama, and
Mr. Outlaw of N. Carolina dodged the vote.
Mr. Burt, of our State was absent on account
of severe indisposition. Messrs. Veuable
and Daniel of North Carolina and Kaufman
of Texas and Owen of Georgia, stated that they
had paired off with friends of the proposition.
The Question was then taken on ado'iting the
report of Mr. Toombs, and it was rejected?
ayes 91, noes 93, Messrs. Toombs and Stephens
among them. The next movement was
one by Mr. Brooks jfo re-coii9ider the last vote
with a view, if successful, to offer an amendment
to appoint a Select Committee to sit during
the recess, and collect information for the
purpose of framing a new tariff bilL Mr.
Thompson of Missississippi, moved to lay the
motion to re-consider on the table, which was
carried?ayes 93, uoes 92, and thus the subject
was disposed of for the present
Great was the disappointment at the result,
as confident anticipations were-entertained of
the success of the movement As it was, its
defeat was occasioned by the absence of an
unusual number of Northern Whigs, who are
i censored without stint by their more-attentive
! brethren. The attempt will be repeated in
I some other shape, in a day or two, aud if necessary,
every day nntil :he close of the session,
and you must bat be surpmed if it should
prove successful, and the Tariff of 1842 be reenacted.
The South has submitted to the
kicking and cuffing of her Northern brethren
with so much resignation, that they are encouraged
to try if she will not stand a little
plundering, and there are representative enough,
from the Southern States who will aid tlieui in
accomplishing their designs.

A striking peculiarity of-whicb, is the very paricular
attention paid to all distinguished perxonrges,
who visit our countryTronr other-parts of the
