PROCEEDINGS OX TIIE SUBJECT OF ABOLl- i ? TIOX IN TIIE LEGISLATURE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. A select committee to whom the subject 1 . i1 was referred, made an able report which, if u e had room for it we would take pleasure in r presenting to our readers ; not for any thing 1 new to be found iii it; for the subject hardly ' . admits of anv thing new being said upon it; > O D * but because its doctrines accord with our con-, 6titution, with reason and with the Bible. The report concludes with the following] resolu- i tions: Be it resolved, by ths Senate and House ] of Representatives in General Court convened, That we recognize the constitutional right of ' i . 0 1 the several States of the Lnion to exercise exclusive jurisdiction within their own limits, on the subject of domestic slavery. Be it further resolved, That Congress can- 1 not, without a violation of the public faith, i abolish slavery in the District of Columbia,un- 1 Jess upon the request of the citizens of that i District, and of the States by whom that ter- ( ritory was ceded to the General Govern-1 < went. ! i Be it further resolved, Thai as the union o) \ the States can only be maintained by abstain- ! i ing from all interference with the laws, domes- i tic policy, and peculiar interests of every other i ? State, the conduct of those who would coerce i * our fellow citizens of other States into abolition of slavery, by inflammatory appeals ad-; dressed to the fears of the masters and the 1 passions of the slaves, is in the highest degree censurable, as tending to alienate one portion 1 i of our countrymen from another, and to intro- ' ducc discord into our sister States, and as a violation of that spirit of compromise in which the constitution was framed, and a due obser- J vance of which is necessary 1o the safety of i The Union. r?_:? i i rr>i . t i i>e u luruier reswuuu, 1 Jim, wi- cunuur \wm ^ the libera), just and philanthropic views on ( this 6ubjecL contained in the Messageof his Excellency tlie Governor, of June last. | Bo it further resolved. That the Goveruor 1 be requested to transmit a copy of this Report j and Resolutions, to tiie Executives of each of < the States of the Union, and to each of our ; < Senators and Representatives in Congress. 1 Mr.Eastman of Conway, offered the follow- * ing resolutions as an amendment? Resolved, "That error of opinion nnv be . safely tolerated so long as reason is left free i to combat it." Resolved, That the demand made by the . Slave holding States upon the non-Slave hold- ' ing States of tins Union, for the latter "to adopt penal enactments for the pur|M>se of suppressing any associations within their limits. ' purporting to be, or having the character of; 1 abolition societies," is an unwarrantable inter- 1 ferencc with the Constitutional rights of the I citizens of said non-Slave holding States, and cannot therefore be complied with. ( Resolved, That any attempt, to prevent free j discussion on the subject of Slavery, by making use of legal process, or by means of vio- . Jence, is not only an abuse and contempt of law, but tyrannical and unjust, and ought \ \ therefore to be discountenanced, and rebuked by every friend to our free institutions. " After some discussion Mr. Livermore hav- ' ing requested a division, the question was tn- ; Ken on me auopuun 01 mu him tmusc <ji i;hamendment, and decided in the negative. ( Yeas 27, nays 139. , The second clause was then rejected with- j out a division, and the third also was rejected j without a division. . Mr- Edwards offered the following rcsolu-: ' tions to be added as an amendment. Rtsohcdi That the liberty of speech and the < freedom of the prers, rights secured by the constitution to the citizens of this State, can- t not be abridged or restrained by 'penal enact- , *uents,'on the request or demand of any other , State. Resolcer/, That the claim of the Executive of a slave holding State, on the Executive of a pon-slave holding State, for the surrender of i1 a free citizen, to be removed to such slaw , 1 holding State, for punishment, under laws of 1 the State of which lie is a citizen, is an unwarrantable interference with the rights of; J fhe free citizens of the non slave holding! | States. j ] The amendment was rejected. Mr. Locke moved the resolutions be indefinitely postponed; he thought they had already [ cost more than they were worth?rejected. The question was then taken on the adop- j ^ho boat ho commanded was 30 nvnutes on- ' aged iii nearly close quarters, and maintain- j i d her colors un*:l he was shot down himself i ml nearly all on hoard were either killed or < rounded.

Jones was with General Jackson, c as vou will recollect when a very young ofh- 1 ccr, at .Yew Orleans, in 1814, and ac\ d a most * distinguished part upon Lake Borgn<, as commander of our gunboats upon that station.? 1 JJo kept the British squadron tti bay for two 1 wrecks, upon that lake, with his //re gunboats ji and 180 men, at a most important crisis, im-, j] mediately preceding the landing ot the British p army, on thetSM December, 1814. He could not be approached by the British in th >:r fri- s gates, and thev hesitated to attack turn in j open boats. The attack was, however, linaiiv ; made, iu boats manned by 1,'J'H) men, whom Jones fought for two hours. With his 1^0 men I< t*kiVc! ?r.d w. ?>-><! too . f 'k? ? ' Herring*.?A communication was opened in 18B1 between a fresh water pond in Falmou'li, Mass. and the ocean, and a few dozen of Jive herrings thrown into the pond.

La*t year 23 barrels were caught. 1 Railroad Accident.?One of the wheels of , the tender attached to the locomotive on the , road from Richmond to Fredericksburg, on the 20th Jan. became loose and ran off the track ; by which accident the train of cars narrowly escaped being precipitated from a bridge 30 feet high.

They murdered a Mr. Lewis Pugh and some of his negroes on the 26th January. In an engagement of volunteer citizens with them two of the whites were killed.

J%. odist Episcopal Church, resolutions were '1 passed, authorizing the publication of weekly religious papers, on the same footing with the ; Christian Advocate and Journal (of New York,) and the Western Christian Advocate (Cincinnas, ti,) at ili hmond, Nashville,and C.'iprh-ston. At s, Nashville, the paper thus authorized, has ^Ir^adv is been issued. The one intended for Kichmoh'., c- will, we doubt not, soon be put forth. And the non/l Smith Carolina Annual Conferen 7 ^rCVIElU uil?? ? W?... -?r M - _ cc?b for whoso districts tlie paper at Charleston j is especially intended, have each taken moasures ~ for its early publication. The Act of the General Conference authoril(] zing these public tions, was called for by the ,c Southern Dolegatcs, on the ground of its being necessary to an equal distribution oftliO Church's press to all parts of her communion ; ana ?*P?cially, in view of the peculiar political aspect of - the times, Within the range contemplated for tho paper at Charleston, leaving equal scope for ! e_ those at Richmond and Nashville,there aro about ( fifty thousand whites in tho membership of the I Church. Here then are, probably, ten thousand j Methodist families, and a much greater number I ? attached to tho Methodists who havo no weekly paper published among them. This, under any 1 circumstances, might be held a sufficient reason for the publication we propose; but considered in connexion with the feeling which is known to _ pervade all classes of men on the subject of our domestic institutions, it not only justifies our undertaking as one that is expedient, but strongly urges it as necessary to the Church. We propose, therefore, to publish at tho city of! Charleston, as soon as the subscription list shall warrant it, a woekly religious paper, to be cnti.1?J TU?
