e As :in evidence of the fearful progress of
t- consolidution, wa give the followingL reso
; lutionq recently passed by the Missouri
a Legislaure condemnatory of the Nashville
r Convention and its proceedings. Thees
5 resolutions are as follows:
Reslred, That in the opinion of this
House the practice of convoniiig such
, bodies as the lato Nashville Convention is
A dangerous in its tendencies, calculated to
a foster sectional jealonsies. and to weaken
4 the bond of the Union. The people of
e Missouri will co-operate with no organized
o body, be it North or South. the apparent
n (Object (if which may be to foient national
- discog d, to alienate one portion of the Con.
e L ederacy from anothiter, or to diminish the
d %encration of the people for the union of
the States.
RevmIred, That the House emphatically
>f deniies lie doctri:.e of secessioni as main
e tained by Southern statesmen. and dissents
a from the resolutions of the Nashville Con.
t velitioll, as enclosed to his Excellency tile
|i Governor, by the I Ion. C. d. McDonald, of
r Georgia, and the Governor is respectful ly
% requested to return the resolutions to Mr.
f Mc!)onald, with a copy of thuse resolutons.
- God save the Soutl, say, we, when she
t is forced to go to such men as voted for
i these resolutions for counsel or assistance.
t Iey are themselves ready to be slaves,
andl are well described in the following
extract which we take from the sieech of
s Mr. Clingiman, delivered in the Ilouse of
- Representatives, Feb. 13:
- ' Cert aiii professed natioil organs (and
- orators have preached devotion to the uilion
, in any event, and tinder all circumstances.
, A baser sentiment never fell frmi the lips
I of a mortal. It is substantiiilly the saime
r with I lie doctrine of passie obedieice, a nd
l ion-resistance, whIch brought the heald of
- Charles the 1st to the block. Since then
no Englihinan has had the eflrontery to
I avow sich opin.ons. Its only supporters
ii i this couintry formerly were the tories of
3 the revoltition. Those who have preached
a the doctrine in our day, will only lind their
fellows amliong the palace slaves of Asiatic
I desnpit isi. iTheir proper position is below
everything that P'roviilence lia created,
5 when i its natural state. Event the
iieanest reptiles st ruggle upward against
I lhe oippressors. 'Tl! Ameirican Ileople
- justly regard these indi idUals as degriled
below the rest of animated nlature."

plav the beautiri clipper-ike proportions
which it is designed to give her, and which
even to the cursory spectator give evidence
of the rapid sailing qualities sihe will possess.
Ier birthen will be about 7M) tons. She
will be a propeller steamer, her engines
and machinery being already in progress at
the establishment of Mr. Charles Rteeder,
on the south side oft lie Hlnsin. The vessel
will, we feel confident, ill every respect,
prove one of the finest and most efficient
steamships of her class which has ever
been built. Suited, as experience has
showi this description of steanships to be.
to a trade like that between this city and
Charlestotn, we are assured that her launch

Abolitionists take Equality for their
watchword and demand for all men, at
whatover stage of developement and ins
provement. eqIual privileges and powers.
They would give to the ignorant and debased
a share in governnent, and, to as great ex
tent its that share will give then influence,
power over the good and the wise. They
seem to shut their eyes toA the nature of
mlen and the history of mete. Let a truly
good man do as he pleases, anl in propor
tion to his knowledge and his power will lie
secure universal happiness to man. Give
the saie freedom of action to one whose
motives are not elevated, the law of whose
conduct is the gratification of his desires,
who has never learned to control himself
and who does not know the pure happiness
that result.-; from daing good, and in propor
tioln to his power will the interests, the
rights and happiness of others sufler loss
and himself be made unhappy. The pris.
ons of the most enliphtened lands would, of
tlemselves, he snfficient evidence that lib
erty can be accorded only to the virtuous,
that punishment must be held up before the
selfish and the impure to terrify them from
encroaching upon the rights of others. In
every age there have been, not only indi
viduals, but nations and races who have ex
hibited no powers of self rubl, who could
not to advantage be masters of their own
actions, and who were therefore mest hap.

of this country are free and our liberty is
productive of happiness to us ; but is that
liberty the ofaThpring of our free institutions?
Are we free because no tyrant king reigns
