By ing the factions in the North, the excite- ment in the South will still be kept alive and aug- mented, till, at last, all prudence, good temper, and discretion will be thrown to the dogs, and our Southern fellow-citizens will be urged and goaded to such a pitch, as to make it necessary for Gene- ral Taylor to order out the militia, and put things tothe dreadful alternative and arbitrament of the sword.

It is dangerous in the extreme, and only looks blacker and darker in consequence of the negative position taken by the President and his imbecile advisers. In such a dilemma, what ought Congress todo? What should the leading members in both houses attempt to accomplish? Now is the moment—now is the time—now is the crisis. The great men of our country, both in the Senate and m the House— those who are great statesmen and greater pa- triots—such as Benton, Calhoun, Clay, Cass, Web- ster, and others, should now come forward at once, and arrange a plan such as would dispose of the whole question before the end of the present ses- sion of Congress. If such a compromise is not now agreed upon by Congress, the policy darkly developed by the cabinet, in the President’s mes- Sage, will inevitably lead to more and more agita- tion, driving to an extreme and more dangerous result—not unlikely, perhaps, to civil war—to ulti- mate dissolution and disunion, within a few brief years.

A Mr. Bowen 1s now the guiding spirit of the North American Review, ead it must be confessed that that gentleman has done his best to recuscitate and galvanize that megavine, according to the most approved method. No sooner did Mr. Bowen get control of this magazine, than it oceurred to hin that he must adept the tactics of Philosopher Greeley and Philo. sopher Brownson, in order to bring it into notice. ‘Those tactics, as those philosophers very well know, are to oppose generally received opinions on certain subjects of public interest, for the pur+ pore of creating a storm of indignation against them, that would bring them into notoriety. ‘This is the way in whieh Greeley and Brownson went to work. Greeley broached, as his own, a batch of ideas which were conconcted by Fourier, a philo- sopher in a garret in Paris; and as they were re- pugnant to common sense, they were overhauled from time to time in the press of the country. Mr, Greeley thereupon became a public character— the very thing he wanted. Philosopher Brownson chove another field. He boxed the compass ia re- gious matters, at one time advocating the woret kind of wfidelity, and in the end adopting Catho- liciem of the most ultra character—the Romanism of the middle ages. He, too, created some notoriety for himeelt, and has acq line which he so much coveted. He is now one of the lights of the age par ercellence, publishes a re- view, and gives lectures occasionally im public.

Ia addition to this, laws are passed from time to time, which have materially tended to inure our com- merce with that island, and to annihilate it alto- gether, if the system now practised is persisted in. Our relations with that island have assumed euch acharacter as to make it necessary on the part of the administration at Washington to demand re- dress at once, and promptly; and the President and the Secretary of State should look into the matter immediately. A naval expedition should be fitted out at once, and unless redress be given as soon as demanded, and a guaranty offered tor se- curity from insult and outrage hereafter, to all American citizens who may visit that island, adequate punishment should be inflicted on the piratical inhabitants. In fact, their recent conduct would justify an expedition of white men proceed- ing thither, and reducing the island to subjection asa colony of the United States. It 1s clear that if the blacks are allowed to pursue the course which they are now adopting, San Domingo will, in a few years, have no commerce with any nation, and will become nothing but a nest of pirates and banditti. The course of St. Domingo, since the emancipa- thon of the slaves, shows, in the most conclusive manner, the utter incapacity of the blacks for self- government. The would-be philanthropists were confident of the success of the experiment, and were willing to make it, in this instance, a test whether the colored race are inferior to the whites or not. Since the experiment has failed, however, the abolitionists and black philanthropists are silent on the subject. The blacks of Saa Domingo had every opportunity to prove to the world that they are as capable as the whites of self-govern- ment ; but the deplorable position which they now present 1s sufficient evidence that they are not able to take care of themselves, and thut negro servitude seems to be their natural condition. At all events, those black savages must not be allowed to insult American citizens with impu- nity; and we hope and trust thet the administra- hon will take proper measures, at once, to demand redress for the outrages already committed, and to inflict adequate puntshment if it is not immediately granted. Faustin the First must be taught to re. spect the mghts of American citizens, although he is an emperor. Stream ComMUNICATION BETWEEN ENGLAND AND America—Amekican Sreamsutrs.— Our readers will find, in another part of this day’s Herald, a full account of the tnal trip of the magnificent steam- ship Georgia, which took"place yesterday, in our harbor. It will be seen that she proved herself to be en uncommonly fast vessel, and that on a fair trial she outstripped the British steamer Canaday which was on her way to Liverpool, the latter ac- knowledging the corn by firing her lee guns. This result is bighly gratifying, and xt is a pity that this splendid vessel cannot have a chance to show what she is capable of doimg, by making a voyage to Liverpool. We are perfectly satisfied that a complete change lines, will take place between Europe and America, as soon as the famous steamships of Mr. Collins— two of which have been already launched, and one of which will proceed on atrial trip ina few days— are completed. As soon as all of those vessels are completed and are started on their mission, which have a direct communication by steam between this city and Liverpool. When that shall have | been seromplieheds we have not the slightest doubt that subsidiary and counecting links will be formed between New York and the leadiog West India Islands, as well as to the leading points of the North American colomes, which will entirely | upset all the direct lines between England and the United States, and between England and Halifax. Such a revolution will cause an entire change ia the routes of the Cunard steamers. They will be compelled, in self detence, to pursue the same pol- rey, and sail direct between Liverpool and New York, instead of touching at Halifax, as they do at present. changes which we believe are inevitable from the | very nature of the subject—this city will be the great central metropolis between the Pacific coast and the Atlantic.

Summary. The Senate, after the usual preliminary busi- nese—the presentation of petitions, reports, memo- Tiale, &c.—went into consideration of the motion to print the resolutions of the Vermont Legislature, on the subject of slavery, in debating which the balance of the session was consumed. The mo- tion was laid on the table. The bill relating to the Tecapture of fugitive slaves was made the special order for this day. In the Houge, unanimous consent was asked to receive the credentials of the Representative from the State of Deseret, which was objected to, and the House took up the regular order of business. A resolution was adopted, allowing ninety days to take testimony in relation to the contested seat for jowa. The House then went into the considera- tion of the President’s message on the territories, and after some debate, and pending a motion to print and refer the message to the Committee of the Whole, the House adjourned. In the New York Legislature, yesterday, reports were presented from the majority and minority of the eelect commuttee of the House, on the anti- slavery resolutions, which called forth some de- bate. The reports were laid over, and made the special order for to-day. There was not mueh other business of interest transacted in either house. ‘Th avery Questien, &e. OUR SPRCIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. Wasninaton Crry, ‘Wednesday Evening, Jan. 23, 1850, The official correspondence trom Mr. Potter, our Consul at Lima, confirms the previous reports of his chartisement of the English Charge. It is charged that there is ® conspiracy among Southern men to prevent all legislation upon any other subject until the slavery question is settled. There is an inclination that way; but as yet there has been no explicit agreement upon such a policy. On the other hand. some leading democrats, North and South, have declared that Gen. Taylor must be made to face the music of the proviso, and that a territorial bill for New Mexico must be passed, with the proviso im it, for the special benefit of the administration. Slavery is the theme in both houses to-day. P. Mr. Phelps defended the Vermont resolutions today, and we may possibly have @ speech from Mr, ‘Webster upon them to-morrow.

As for Mr. Seward, his motion, yesterday, in Senate, indicates that he will insist upon splitting up the cabinet with the proviso.
