calculable. Maryland and Virginia, in ceding the ten miles square, did not surrender to the general government legislation over the question of sla- very. To have done so, would have been equiva- lent to its prospective abolition. " 7 Congress, by the request of the eitizens residing in the Virginia portion of the Distriet of Columbia, ceded it back to the Old Dominion; leaving the Maryland portion where it was. Should Congress retrocede to Maryland that part given by it, then ~the seat of Government would be abolished; for, it having been accepted for the seat of government, the returning of it would be equivalent to discar ing it. And as there is an objection to the capital belng in a very amall slave district, of one county ly, certainly the objection would be tenfold if ital were in Maryland. To quiet the agita- tion oft the slave question, we must not interfere where we have no constitutional right to do so. {f certain people cannot deprive others of their property, they will revive the old cry of ‘ removal of the capital” to a territory where slavery does notexist. This effected, would not, however, re- duce the number of those in bonds; but it would aubserve the views of the agitaters. Repeated attempts have been made to remove the seat of the general government, for nearly the last half century, and at times there were stormy debates in relation to it; and one of the branches of Congress, long ago, punished a wag, who bur- lesqued one of the most zealous, by representing hm trundling a wheel-barrow, with the huge capitol for its contents. Parliamentary sensitive- ness and privilege, in those days, were what they are now. eed We look, then, upon the agitation of the slave question, in this district, a8 having one of three ob- jects, namely, Ist, to produce a separation of the free from the non-slaveholding States; 2d, to de- prive people of their property, and thus make poli- tical capital in certain sections; and, 3d, the re- moval of the seat of government. ; Buncombe, of course, enters largely into all the calculations. By way of variety, they who aspire to be philanthropists should, having wasted so much of their time with negroes, now pay a little attention t@ those who are entitled to some share of legislative attention, viz: the pale faces. The delegation of Osage Indians will have no occasion to regret their visit to Washington. It was but yesterday they paraded the streets bare- backed, their skins painted, and with fanciful head-dresses, and a crowd of boys at their heels. To-day, with the exception of bunches of beads over their ears, they are dressed like civilized peo- ple. The War Department, it is said, mgged them out in suits of broadcloth, and put spending money into their pockets. This 1s right; and, consider. ing how the red men have been gouged, they all ought to have a gold watch apiece. A man who comes into the Presidency is forthwith made a * great father” of thousands of red skias, and this ia the only species of property the Executive erits. Shortly after the ineoming of this administration, Mr. Webster procured @ situation, as a laborer or messenger in the department eét the interior, for a bright, impudent mulatto, named Henry Pleasants, who was in the Mexican war with Major Webster, his son. This employée in the Interior was with the party who broke the head of the servant of the Mexican Minister, and was still retained in that department. Several weeks ago, this same Plea- sants was with three or four raflians who followed and stabbed a white man nearly to death. We suggested, at the time, in the New York He ald, that Mr. Ewing should discharge the obnoxious messenger. On the return of this gentleman, sub- sequently, he didso, and with great pleasure we lace the fact on record. Senator Webster's in- Finence in procunng the situation for the fellow ‘was of no avail in his retention. The great Daniel may net consider it respecttul to him to dismiss the object of his recommendation. And Mr. Ew- ing not only acted thus promptly and properly, but gave the vacant place to Mr. Moran, a white man, who was deprived of bread by the Polk Arner: Wasuinatox, Nov. 10, 1849. Mr.Douglass and Secretary Ewing—Jemmy Maher — Officers of Congress—Democratic Host of Can- didates—The Free Soilers— The Spearkership, §c. The Union of this morning contains a long state- ment by Mr. Douglass, the florist, attempting to preve that Mr. Ewing indirectly promised him Jemmy Maner’s place as public gardner, if he would rent him his dwelling house at a reduced sum. No matter how much at fault the Secretary may be in this transaction, Mr. Douglass showed his wil- lingness to buy the place, and admits it. It was toolish, however, for any man to think, for a mo- ment, of dispossessing Mr. Maher, who, though 1l- literate as 10 book learning, had sense enough to fortify his ticklish position by a breastwok of strong letters from distinguished whig politicians. Mem- bers of Congress will bear testimony that they and their families were presented by him with nosegays from the public parterrea, to the exclusion of citi zeas. There is a sweet language in flowers and an odor that cannot be resisted, and by this means the gon of Erin pleads his cause. The Hon. Henry Clay once saved his neck from the official axe, and the same name may yet possess power to avert 4 like threatened calamity. We can tell Mr. Ewing that if he spares Jemmy, he can precure at an) time beautiful hot-bed posies to adorn his mantel- piece, or his button hole. : The names of candidates for speakership of the next House of Representatives have already been je known to the public, and much solicitude is expressed as tothe result. That officer does not only preside over the deliberations, but has the appointment of the Standing Committees, who prepare the raw material for the action of the body, give direction to legislation; and he hasa casting vote, which may decide for weal or wo the most momentous questions. Besides, he can show favoritism in assigning the floor when there i host of contestants. Hence the struggle of parties to place each ite most useful man in the chair, Mr. Cobb, of Georgia, did not sign the Southern address, and, therefore, he will stand a better chance than one who did. The opinion is enter- tained by many, who have reviewed the premise: that he will receive the democratic caucus normi- | nation, and will be less objectionable to the North and West than any other Southerner; but the great struggle must take place in the House.— From all appearances, the free soilers will have the power to name the Speaker—they being the pivot on which the result will tarn—the tw irties fg being nearly equally divided; and they ave made up their minds to this, as we have reason to believe. Mr. Winthrop’s friends will press him, but, at this early day, we cannot pre- dict that he will again be selected by the whigs. honest a Speaker as could be found, badly abused by Andrew Johnson, He wi though he wa: of Tennessee, on the last night of the session ; an he received a nearly unanimous vete for the able, dignified and impertial manner in which he dis- charged his duties. Mr. Lane, the former Sergeant-at-Arms—Col. Gardner, ex-postmaster of this city, and Jesse E. Dow, the author of the “ Heroic Age” effusions in the Union, are among the democratic candi for that office. Mr. Johnson, the present Post- master of the House, is again up for votes. He was re-elected at the commencement of the last Congress by a majority of one or two votes—Mr. Pendleton, the “ lone star” of Virginia, having in- tentionally stepped out—thus defeats majority. Thia caused him to lose the ‘Old Dominion, who sends but half a whig in his place ; and Mr. Pendleton has not received the a of a full mission abroad; a certain chargeship having been superseded by it, especially for his benefit, but which the cabinet has not per- mitted him to realize. They shut him out by the selection of Mr Kives, ef that State, for France. Candidates for clerk and doorkeeper plentifally abound ; and the democratic expectants, some of them at least, have been writing letters to members of Congress, importuning their support. We hear little or nothing about the whig candi- dates; and there would be less talk among the democrats, were it not for the fact that at least twenty gentlemen who were removed from office by this administration expect to be accommedated ai the Capitol. Mr. Asbury Dickens, the Secretary of the Se- nate, isin danger of being run out. The demo- crate, having a majority in that body, may be influ- enced to oppose him by the desire to obtain em- ployment for thear political friende. If he should ousted, Senators will be guilty of ingratitude, not only eaten salt with expecially as they hav him, but drunk bh arkling champagne. The “bridge” of Mr. Robert Beale, the Sergeant arms, will carry him safely over, This is the gen- tleman who acted ae jatler and feeder to Mr John Nugent, who was tor weeks the prisoner of the Se- nate, because he refused to answer certain ques- tions as to how the editor of the New Yorar Herald obtained a copy of the treaty with Mexico.

His doctrines were so movel and original for tbis age. that I cannot forbear giving to your readers a summary of them You will percvive, how- ever: that a spirit of opposition to amd dread of the abolition movement, lies at tho foundation of, and pervades, all hisarguments, He believed that within fifty years, the territory on the banks of the Ohio river, stretching from the eastern to the western ox- tremities of the State, and including a strip ten miles wide, would contain @ majority of the population of the State; and consequently, unless some cheok was placed upon its proportionate increase of representa- tion, would control the State goverament. ‘This popu- laticn would be commercial and manufacturing in its pursuits. and not Kentuokian by birth. and having 10 mpathies in common with the people or the insti- ions of the State, This was already sufficiently made evident by the fact that the emancips- tion strength was mainly in the territory to which he had referred. Therefore, unless some check upon their inoreasing power was devised and en- grafted upon this constitution. the elaveholders would soon bein the minority, aud the institution of slavery be destroyed. Already, he said, had the insesurity of this deseription of property, and the influx of the class of population to whom he had referred, become #0 great that slavery in some of the districts was nearly oblite- rated, and the institution was rapidly crumbling away there, Now, the interests of the State were prepon- deratingly agricultural, and the basis of representation should be so arranged as to secure to that interest the controlling and predominant influence in the govern- ment of the State ‘This speech was based upon ® motion to restrict the representation of the cities to a point beyond which, whatever might be their increase in population, they should not go. Ot course, it called forth replies from the delegates representing the region of country sought to be thus proscribed, who indignantly protested inst their constituents being thus virtually disfran- chised, declaiming against the proposed violation of the great principle that representation and taxation should go band in hand, and utterly repudiating the idea that their people seed those abolition preferences to which Mr. T. had referred. The debate will probably be continued for at least a day or two mext week; and such is the general jealousy of the cities, and distrust on the part of the southern aud interior portion of the State, of the influence which their proximity to the free States of Ohio and Indians exert on the Ohio river counties, that I should not be surprised to see some amendment adopted, carrying out the views of Mr. ‘urner. Of one thing. however, you may be certain, and that is, that the convention will leave no means unresorted to that will have the slightest tendency to repress and render futile the emancipation agitation. One of the expedients that will be adopted with this view, will be a prohibition of any constitutional amendment except through the medium ofa convention of the people. One of the meatures the emancipationists desire to have adopted in the constitution. is what is here known as the “ open clause’—that ie, a provision which would allow of specific constitutional amendments by the Le- gislature. The proposition to which I first referred, you willat once perceive is designed to “head off’ any such idea. ‘The proceedings of the negro meetings in the city or New York, so graphically reported in the Herald, have excited no little astonishment here. And the fact of the black voters haying amalgamated and formed acom- mon political Lrotherhood with the whig party there, while it has excited the disgust of the democrats here, is regarded by the whige with indignation and ab- horrence. ‘They are ready to disavow all assool- ation or connection with such « party. The few scattering and confused returns of tho election, we have received here, indicate s whig triumph in New York ; and if such should be the result, and that result is at all apparent to be owing in any dv- gree to this coulitien of black spirits and white, it will excites strong sensation. not only in Kentucky, but throughout the adjoining Southern States. It will tend greatly to obliterate the present party divisions, and cause the men of the South to rally ax one man in defence of what they consider to be their rights, Then may you look for the adoption in this convention of a provision, not only prohibiting the future emigration Of all free persons of color into this State, but provid ing for the expulsion of all such persons now within its borders—and there are some thousands —under a penalty of being eold into bondage.

The grand confederated committee, as it is called. of thirty, to whom, you will remember, the several arti- cles on the Judiciary were referred, with inetructios #0 to compromise upon them, and to blend the form one harmonious and consistent whole, made their report yesterday mer As this committee is com- ported of thirty of the most distinguished and leading | men in the convention, and as their repert is under- conflicting and variant nvention om the subject, there Its ratification and adopti hers of the body. \y ® majority in TA, and much more t in talent, and their sugces- Actions can iy fail therefore, to fall with irresistible weight and influence upon the convention.

But the violent form which the abolition agitation has assumed, its growing force and power, and above all, this woolly headed and flat mosed coa- lition with the whigs of New York, are daily tending to drive the Kentuckians into eloser sssociation with those who have ever shared most largely in their sym- pathies and good will. And the result will be, that when the time comes for action, instead of finding the Kentucky stateemen and people seeking to soothe and allay the irritable feelings that may be aroused, if fering, as on one other famous occasions, the olive ranch of compromise, they will be among the most determined, energetic and dauntless of the fiery spirits ‘that will be m: led under the Southern banuer.

Dean Sie— Youre of the 10th instant has been re- ceived, in which you ask my own views, as well as my opinion as to what will be the course of the South in either of the contingencies referred to. Your position ata representative of one of the States, and the conat- deration due you personally, merit alike s prompt re- ph Tiaving on former occasions given my views in detail greeted expiring shrieks of to represent in the councils of the nation. Thesession | with reference te the whole subject. it is not necessary for me to do so at this ti T eed, therefore, to give you simply the general results of my reflections. ‘The Federal government, beeuuse it is the govern- ment of the United States, isthe trustee and agent for all the States and thetr citi; Every power, there- fore, which it can rightfully eercise, it must of neces- sity exeroire tor the benefit of all the partiva to it. Tho territory of the United State: perty, the government is bound to as practicable for the benetit of their citizens, A difference, them in relation to the institut the constitution was States were slaveholdiny ‘ovi- go- rights and interests of # ‘ins nO ¥ sion for the lition of slavery any whe: It vernment, therefore, oan properly exercise such er in any instance, it must be because its duti general age ting so as to meet the interest and pals, require it. But fitteen of of the Union still maintain slavery. It is ebvious, there- nment could not, consistently with its powers as @ general mnt, exclude the slaveholders as a class from participation in the evjoyment of the territory of the United States. It is, on the contrrry, under solemn obligations to re- spect the rights of ail. It has always heretofore, as I understand its action, shown a sense of this obligation, When the much-talked of ordinance was adopted, by which the territory north of the Ohio river was made tree, all beryl pees of the country south of the river to the Gulf of Mexico was left to be ocoupied by slave- holders. When slavery wi d in the northern part of the Louisiana tory, the southern portion, regarded as the most suitable for slaveholders, was left to be so ocoupied, On the annexation of Texas, when ® provision against slavery north of 36 deg. 30 min. was incorporated, much the larger and mere valuable portion was left still for the use of slaveholders. But it is now proposed to adopt the policy of exclu- ding elaveholders. as such, from all the territory of the United States. This would be an entire revolution in the action of the goverament—a revolution which could not occur without a total violation of the spirit and essence of the constitution. Since those citizens who do not own slaves are permitted to cooupy ever ang of the territory of the Union, it bas been doub: many whether the government can rightfully ox- clude siaveholders from any portion of the common property. But, even if there should bes power to dt- vide the public territory, for convenience, between the two classes, it is perfootly clear that there can be no right to exclude one class entirely. | bave heretofore said that | rhould regard such an exclusion as being as great a violation of the constitution as the government could postibly commit. But even if this action should be viewed simply aa an enormous abuse of power, it would be not the less objectionable. The government has unlimited powers in relation to the establishment of post offices throughout the Union. If, hows it were to withdraw all the post offices from th views of its pi the thirty States the institution fore, that ‘the g os holding States, on the ground that the citizens of those Seates were not worthy of the countenance and aid of the government, we should have as mueh reason to complain of such action es if it involved @ clear in- fraction of the letter of the constitution. In a word, if the government should adopt the poll- cy of exoluding slaveholders. as such, from all the ter: ritory of the United States, it would. in substance and | effect, cease to be the government of the United States. | While the form of the constitution might remain the same, its character would be essentially changed. Ought the Southern States to acquiesce in this great organic change in our political system? Ought they to remain members of an association which had, in utter disregard of plain constitutional guaranties, de- graded them from their position of equality? As bis- tory furnishes no record of any people who have pros- pered after they had forfeited their self-respect, by sub mitting to be degraded toa state of political vassalage, | hold it to{be the duty of the Southern States to resist this change. That resistance, to be effectual, should be commensurate with the violence of the attack. This they owe to the cause of constitutional liberty, to jure tice, and to their own honor. With reference to the abolition of slavery in the Dis: Cr? trict of Columbia, I will simply ay; that controversy in relation to constitutional right, and ob- ligation to the adjcining States, if such an it were to occur at this time, it would not take place in obe- dienceto the wishes of the'citisens of the District, but would be bought about at the instance of the inhabit- ants of the States. But .theee persons no right to control the lecel affairs of this District Should Von- ‘eas, therdfore, thus act at their instigation, it would guilty of an act of tyranny, soinsulting and no gross ‘as to justify a withdrawal of confidence from such » government. You ask, in the second place, what I believe Itkely to be the course of the South, should ontingency occur? There was but one of the States, having any considerable number of slaves, in relation to which I bad avy doubts, From her frontier position. and the P inhicog influences brought to bear on her, | had some fears as to what might be the action of Kentucky. But Ihave been gratified beyond expression by the gallant stand which that noble State has recently taken. She has thereby shown that she will not abandon her sis- ters injéhe hour of danger, but that she will, it necessary, take the front rank in the struggle for the preservation of the rights and liberties the white race of the South.

You will perceive from the protest of the council of the government, (a translation of which is herewith enclosed ) that allusion is made to placards that have appeared from time to time at Canton, offering a large reward for the governor's head, and that the suspicion is cart upon the Chinese authorities of Canton, of eon- | niving atZand sanctioning the crime lacity of this cruel and premeditated murder~ filled the public mind with astonishment and conster- nation; and so great were the apprehensions of the foreign community here. that (at the request and with the consent of the authorities) | instantly ordered « force, necerrarily small, to be landed from the Dolphin, for the protection of our countrymen on shore, in case of need: and despatohed a fast boat to Whampoa, with gréere for the Plymouth to repair to this place with all jerpateh.
