The Senate then proceeded to the con. sideration of the resolutiomn declaring the romnpromiae acts a definitive settlement of the questions growing out of the subject of slavery. Mr. Badger moved to amend the resolu. lion by strking out the latter part of it, and inserting in lien thereof the following: A set.tlenient in principle and substance -a final settlement of the dangerous and bxciting sajects wlhich they cmlraced and ought to be adhered to by Congress until time and experience shall deamon. atrate the necessity of further logislation to guard aga'nst evasion or abuse.'

Th'Je Anti-Secession coaaliaionl is enmposedh of two pariancipal sectns. Thec first, which is much the smaller in numbehr atn I htas heretofore benen regarded as of iincon. siderable pow~er, is the Uniona l'aray. Ad. haerenace to the Uijon, nt the expense of whtatever submisasian and degradlation maay be required, is the oibjec-t of thin piaray. rThe success of theo coaition thusa~ fa'r, entures a ntie be~nefit of theo Union Psrty.

This class may, at any woinnt, when their thno serving pro p,-ns ties mnaf lrcnnpt it, bring a great an -udden accession of power to the Union Party. But the oce,-ion Party is euc h strong. er than either of th1ose partics separately. - It would heve bi eun strenger than the coalition, utut for tlh effect upnwm large miassos of voters. of at igneojeiiou s putuic.

'Thsei bse appeal-pre'l ced anl ctl'uct not to have beens expected in Month Carolina. A seulicient number 0t votes was thus controlled, to reduce the Party of acteon fron a great majority, which accordineg to all reasonable indies. tions, they had previous!y constituted, to a miority. The coalition have defeated the party of action; ttruck despair-into the hearts of our true friends in the Smeth, and caused our enemies and oppressors to exult in conltetptuous triumph. It is seow fur the Iteeistance wing of the suc:essful coalition--or that party whto do lot use the tane of co-operatotn as a cloak ler suhminion-to prove their sin. cerity, and to eadcavvr to redeema the liuti ',r of the State. It they now rog.crd the Convention uf the peopel as bound to give up the purpoose of Necession, it is their busines to prieos their measetts of resistanc., visich they regard as wiser and mieore effectuael thais Secessiu.

And, worthiest of first mention, we hear the name of KosscrT pronounced often in conversat ion, as you. wih ourselves, see both hii name and speeches in all the papers For nce thse theme equally of private chat and nsewspaper dissertatimn is one with whirlh a true American, at least, can find no fault--one to which, to the extent of its influenoce, elevaatev and ennoble, instead of belittling the public muinad. In fact, Ileaven seems once more to have favored our world with a great mDan-a great man too, who is at the same time a high-souled, disinterested, heroic, patriot. [lis speech. ca in England--eapecial:y when we con sider their having passed through the ob structing medium of a foreign tongue [nay be pronouncod the tmot re:narkable ar.atorical specimens of the age. What living orator is his equal in that mysterious amesmerism by which he subjects the souls oaf multitudes to his own, or that Demos. thenic fire which can kindle nations into cnuflagrtion! Well do I, though then but a boy, remember the national ovation to IeA FA ETTE. Gladly would I again witneas such a spectacle, and feel the same emotions as then, for rarely does such anl experiem e occur to one twice is a lifetime. If I mistake not the reception of the llun. gasrat will be very much akin to that of the French lIen, and this outburst will spring from an impulse even mere disin. terested than its prototype of 144, since that was prompted by gratitude for service to American liberty, while this will flow from grateful admiration for self.abnega ling elliarts in behalf of unirersolfseedenn. Liag life sa.nd full triumph, baay I, to the heroic Magvar, and umay our millions rise, an one man, to pay hin an unbougla. un qualified, unmercen:iry homage; for, in theie squabablisg tim's, so cankered by asellish, belittling interests and aims, such a national excitement will be harmonizing, purifying, and refre..hing.

I presumae you have seen somethifag in the papers of the last aia months touching the *iillotype'-..an alleged discovery by which Daguerreotypes are taken in'he 'color. of nature. Mr. Itoot declares himself to have a strong faith in the reality of thisi discovery, he being tie first to whom Mr. Hill communicated it about fourteen nsonths ago, and having since had several interviews as well an saintained a weekly corresl ondence with the latter, Mr. Roo't thinks that after completing the needful experiments and proper arrangements, Mir lill will fully redeem all his pledges to the public, to the great honor both of hit self and our country. Ilsve you any *Spirit-rappings' in your quarter? We have, I find, to a large ex. tent. W%'hat think you of fifty or sixty 'circles' (se named), each of ten or fifieen persons, meeting once, or oftener per week, expressly to solicit 'Spirit-resposoa:' Such and so many we have. They have specific forms of proceeding, and they seriously affirm that other-world spirits do habitually confer with them, and have published nu merous spectmnenis of these revelations! If I can get admitted into some of these 'cir. cler,' I way write you [sore Sully and in telligently about them. Ose of our editors, J. W. Fonssv, you will see, has heen elected Congres eional Clerk.

The friends of 'I'enpcrance are alive, as ever, is their noble Mork, and much good they are csutantly achieving. though their efforts make no prouminent show .n fhe whirl of our bt.stling, noisy thousands. Heaven speed them, for there is, alas! but too great need and taunns tor their philanthropic labors.
