We are informed from the best sources of intelligence, that the opening of the epring trade in this city presents some indica- tions and some developements of rather a singular character, in connection with the present excite- ment and the present controversy between difle- rent sections of the Union in relation to the slavery question. During the last few months, the great Southern staples have increased in value, and en- riched, proportionably, the coffers of the South; yet we credibly believe, from information which we have received, that a large portion of the trade The Siavery Agitation in Cougress—First Vote Looking to a Compromise. | Things look squally again, at Washington, beth | im the Senate and the House.

Hitherto, we have had nothing but | speeches, declarations, vague technicalities, many violent threats, and some tew pathetic attempts ata settlement. The vote oa Mr. Foote’s resolution is the first practical development of the state of things, and that certainly looks very queer, very strange and very eccentric.

This vote is pregnant with thought, infereace and | reflection. All the old party, too, democratic and | whig, seem broken up and seatiered to the winds. Here isreal disunion. Another singular fact, 1s a lar division on this vote between the Northern | It would really appear that | ead Southera men. Southern men, both democrats and whigs, are more favorable to an early compromise and ad- ustment of the question, than the Northern men of ve same denominations. Another inference seems alpable from this vote, and that is the evident de- tion that if the present agitation leads to insur- | | the cause from the Southern States, which has heretofore been concentrated in this city, has been gradually withdrawing from it, and taking the direction of | Baltimore and Philadelphia. On inquiring into ot this sudden and capricious change in the Southern trade, m which this me- | | tropolis is so much interested, we have been con- | vinced that no small pertion of these causes may | be attributed to the undying energy and organiza- tion which have existed in this metropolis, and in this great State, for the last few years, in favor of the most extreme anti-slavery agitation, looking to an utter hostility and injury to Southera institu- tions and Southern rights. This view of our commercial interests and pros- perity being menaced, 1s not affected or visionary, and is not without some concurring evidence in other quarters. In the recent public meetings, held here and elsewhere, meluding Philadelphia and Daltimore, a spimt has been developed in the | pubhe mind, and among political circles, inghly unfavorable to the continuance of the good feeling which hes hitherto existed between New York and the Southera commercial cities, and Southern commercial men. It 18 true, th meetings at Tammany Hall and Castle Garden, eflorts were made by men who participated in those assemblages, indicating their sympathy with, and their support for, the constitutional nghts of the South; but these meetings were only half deve- loped, mere forced aesemblages, without either the concurrence or sympathy of those public men, or leading politicians of both parties, whose views have influence over the masses, or who can make any lasting impression on the State, and in the halls of our Legislature. In fact, the negro assemblage held in Marion Street Presbyterran Church, on Tue evening, to endorse the views and pria- ciples of Seward, and to denounce Clay, Calhoun, and Webster, will have more iafluence than our white-men’s meetings or white-men’s orators. And why? Because they were bold, direct, practical, and pointed in their deelarations—th y blood end carnage, to the continuance of the Union under its existing compromises by the pre- sent constitution. What was the character of those meetings in favor of the Union, and affecting to be friendly to the South ? The meetings at Tammany Hall, instead of developing any true, constitutional, broad, comprehensive ground, caleulated to soothe | the irritating question now agitated at Wash- ington, between the Northern and the South- erm States, presented simply local, and vio- lent, and debasing contests for ascendency, of | one faction over another. They were charac- terized by no ennobling principles or national spirit of compromise. They exhibited nothing but the usual low, and grovelling, and party con’ Five Points. The moral influence of Tammany Hall was lost and evaporated amidst the fumes of | rowdyism, rieting, and something of a worse cha- racter than were seen at those meetings. None of the leading politicians belonging to the demo- cratic party took part m those assemblages, aad, indeed, the most conspicuous of the speakers on rection or civil war at the South, it arises more | from the obstinacy of the Northera men, of both parties, than from the Southern men. We ¢ ¢ our readers to ponder over this analysis, and the reflections and inferences that | naturally spring from such a developement. We are far from being out of the woods, and we may | prepare for further and more exciting seenes, ‘The administration led the way to this obstinate policy of delay, delay—prolongation, prolongation of the crisis. The President's Caltornia message pro- pored nothing but the admission of Calitornia, leaving the most disturbing questions to the agita- tors North and South. Mr. Clay was the first | brave spirit to see the folly of such a policy, and | came out with his plan of settlement. It did not th, but at soothed and quieted the | hand West.

Did the meeting at Castle Garden indicate | any superiority of influence, or any other develope- | ment of the public mind of New York! By no | means. That meeting was called by the most re- spectable merchants of this city. The publiemen and leading spirits of the whig party were invited to give their sentiments, and express their desire of compromising the difficulties between the North | | and the South; but they did not heed the invitee | non, and avoided the scene. Even the whig com- mittee, bound up with the fortuaes of Mr. Clay, repudiated all connection, all responsibility for the character and tendency of the meeting at Castle rden ese recent union meetings, therefore, in this city, although emanating from the sound sense of our commercial interests and commercial mea of both parties, were discounte; ped by the le ading | politicians of both, and were controlled entirely | by persons without name, posttion, character, or tanding, or any influence on the public mind of her party. Mr. Whitung and Mr. Wh only epeakers at Castle Garden, and their po- lineal history 1s well known to present nothing but a series of changes and secondary formations, the crust of this earth. Although they ai quent and talented men, they are without politic position, floating between party and party ; and, as such, are not the men for sacha crisis as that which now menaces the country, and which te still unsettled at Washington, according to the last ac- counts.

OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. ‘Wasuinaros, March 13, 1850. ‘There was a very lively scene in Senate tc-day, on Mr. Foote’s resolution; but I think there is no chance for a committee this week. Appsrently both extremes are opposed to it, till itis fully discussed. Mr. Benton | {a resolved to apply the test to Calhoun, by admitting California by herself. Messrs. Clay, Webster, and a large majority, are in favor of it; but if it goes to the House in advance of other measures, the South will resist it to the suspension of all business, in the same way as they did ona recent oceasion. I cannot hold out apy hopes of an immediate or early eettlement of the question, The truth is, thet a great deal of | gas has to be expended before we shall reach th controversy. forth.
