The question of slavery, in connection with the new territories, which has been the subject of so much agitation and excitement in Congress and throughout the whole country, stands some chance, now, of being settled and disposed of in a way that will be satisfxetory to the Sguthern States as well asto the Northern, and to all parties, with the ex- ception of the free soilers and abolition fanatics, and the cebinet of General Taylor. In the Senate, the whele subject has been referred to a committee of thirteen, with instructions to introduce a bill ad- mitting California as a State; providing govern- ments for the territories, without referring to slavery, one way or the other; and proposing a plan for the purchase of the disputed territory of Texas, as well as providing for the admission of two or three more slave States from that State. As far, at least, as the Senate is concerned, this troublesome and ex- citing subject is, therefore—for the present, at all events—put at rest. There will, accordingly, in all probebility, be a cessation of debate concerning it until the committee report a bill, which they will, no doubt, do in a few da For this gleam of hope in the ultimate settlement of the slavery question—the first that we have been indulged with since the commencement of the ses- sion—the country is indebted to Mr. Clay, who h: been nobly supported throughout by General Cass, in the patriotic and tational stand which he assumed when a crisis was reached, and when it was feared by all patriots the Union was on the brink of dis- rolution. ' With a firmness, a magnanimity, and a spirit of patriotism beyond all praise, and without uring for a moment what the consequences might be to himself individually, Mr. Clay boldly assumed the leadership of the friends of the Union, threw himself in the breach, and warded off every blow that was aimed at his country and the constitution, when it was endangered. Mr. Clay was always a greet mao,a pure patriot, a profound statesman. But lofty as was the position which he always held, infinitely loftier and more elevated is that which he now occupies, There never lived an American stateemen Who was Fo ungratefully treated by those whom he served, as Mr. Clay. He ore reason than any other living man to be disgusted with his countrymen, while no living man was more entitled to their gratitude. He has been deceived, insul slaughtere by his pretended frien whom he phecd.¢ pure patriot that he ie- nfidence 5 i he not a soul above per- sonal or selfich consi ions, he would ere this have retived into private life, and «pent the balance of his days «part from the treachery, duplicity and ingratitude of the world. But Mr. Clay is above all pericnal and selfish considerations ; and ata time when the integrity cf the coustitution was endin- gered by foeties and ultras, in the North as well as in th cuth,and when disunion, insurrection and ne of The ar were threatened, he rallied to the se , and poured oil on the troubled wat cs and ultras cowered before civil w darger fer patriotic him, and the sentiments of hie heart br ence which h en felt throughout th tent of the country, as well asin the hall of the Senate, in which they were delivered. Mr. Web- ster acpired to occupy a similar elevated and patri- otic position. His impulses were good and patric but he had net sufficient moral courage to carry them into «fleet. When the stra: caine, he lecked the strength which was exiabited by Mr. Mr. Ch y it. ough there is a et fiekl clear te ay, Who has showa himself well! eble to cecuy fe ald saming hope Cotton end breadstuffs had | | socialist leaders, that the | ties and rights of the press is something new in this 1 were he not the | fully and nobly last year against despotism, and thed their blood freely for the purpose of bequeath- ing to their posterity the blessings of a free govern- ment; we might overlook their wilfal violation of the pledged und promises of General Taylor, in re- Band to the matter of removals and appointments ; nay, more—we might, for the sake of General Tay- annum | Yor and the country, overtook the grave chatges of ‘corruption which have been made against them, for having allowed claims Which were rejected as worthless and unfounded, by previows administra- tiony, and pocketing ayortion of the plunder; we might have done this, and mose, bet we cannot re- concile it to our duty as an infependert public journalist, loving ‘the Union, amd desiring, above allothere@tthly matters, the perpetkatton of this glorious dnd’eriviable governwieht, to overlook, or rather to 6mit censuring, in proper terns, their anti- natédnal, anti-American, ané asili-petriotic policy, in leaguing Miemselves wits the abolition fanatics in Doth-houses of Congress, and fe “s the influ- ence-of their positions te the k ug open of an agitation which, if not d, con have no effet ! mut to eadanger the co: racy, and ultimately prodice disunion, civil war and insurrection, Ts it not time, therefore, for General Taylor to awake frem the reverie in whi#h he has indulged since his inauguration, and take the reins of government into his own hends? The country expects something of him mere than cheapening eggs and beef in the hington markets, and calculating that he sa dime by beating down the butcher with whem he deals to that amount. If the bill to be introduced by the Committee of ‘Thirteen should pass the Senate, as in all proba- bility it will, it will be referred to the House for their action. We wonder how many members of that House ere willing to occupy a similar position, and entitle themselves as much to the gratitude of the country, as Messrs. Diekinson, Cass and Clay have dene by their course in the Senate. We hope at least that Mr. Webster is the only man who | will put his hand to the plough and look back. TY OF THE Press—E ESENTATIVES FROM Pustic Marren’ —The positive and unmistakable inference of every intelligent mind, when the press are excluded from public courts or assemblies, always must be, that some- thing is about to be effected, unsuited for the opin- ions and judgment of the public—that some one- sided, partial and unjust object isto be secured— that sine private or public right is to be invaded, or that eceiety is in danger of suffering in some way. Hence, in a free country like this, the people are naturally jealous of all secret tribunals and meet- ings, and very properly so, for where there is hon- esty of purpose and a good cause, what possible benefit can result from discussing a subject with clored doors? A bad case may require secresy.— Where dishonesty exists, an attempt to muzzle the prees is to be expected. Recently we have had occasion to notice three instances of star-chamber proceedings, in which the public are presumed to have a deep interest. and from which the representatives of the press have been grossly and wickedly shut out. Boston far- nished the firet example, onthe inquest over the bedy of Dr. Parkman. The deplorable result of that anomalous conduct on the part of the authorities, is a proof of the cruelty tothe public, and of the danger to private rights. The Court of Inquiry in the case of Lieutenant Alvarado Hun- ter supplies the second case. Where was the jus- tice of shutting out the press—the agent of the pub- lie? If any points before the Court were unsuited for publication, an intimation to that effect would be sufficient to obviate any difficulty on that score, —but the witnesses for the public have a right to be present, and the reporters of the press, ina country like this, are those important witnesses, ready to swear to their notes and to give testimony and fair play to the humblest individual in society, The last specimen of exclusiveness in a public assembly, has been furnished by the Association of Turners in this city. The body is composed chiefly of honest, hard- working, amiable Germans, recently arrived in this country, who are the victims of a few aristoeratic socialint leaders, who are aiming to establish an ar- ietocracy of trades, so as to shut out the poor, in- dustrious man who has no dollar and no monthly contribution to sustain the lazy projectors in estab- lishing a capital, eventually to be applied to the de- struction of independent, individual labor. But we mirtake the characters of these men, if oursincere efforts to aid all that is good in the cause of labor, ata great expense, are to be visited by such con- duct as has been recorded. Ignorance is the only excuse for the abuse of our representative, and on that ground, we pardon it; bat we must assure the infringement of the du- country. Threats may answer to stop the public press in Austria and Prussia, but they will not be tolerated in this land. More liberal ideas must prevail. Imported habits of tyranny must be thrown aside, and absolutiem of the most aristo- cratic form, under the mask of democracy, how- ever concentrated and formidable, prive the poor man of his rights, or the people of their privileges, or the press of beth. Parsents To Dasie, Wensten.—If the committee engeged in the pleasant busines« of presenting a geld watch and chain to Mr. Webster, for his re- cent able and remarkable speech, in the Senate of the United States, have not fully closed their labore, a enggestion of a very proper and important character may not be lost upon them.

Mr. Cley was elected chairman of the committee on the first ballot, It will be scem that Mr. Webster has been honored with a place on the committee, notwithstanding that he voted against the reference. ‘That distinguished statesman has another chance toeam the gratitude of his country, and we hope he wit have moral courage enough to avail him- selfof it. As soon as the committee was appoint- ved, the California biti was taken up, but debate was postponed for two weeks, in view of the absence of the committee who are to convey Mr. Calhoan’s remains to South Carolina, If, byfithat time, the committee do not reporta bill, or, perhaps, whether they door not, Mr. Benton will push that single question with all his might. Mr. Clay is deter- mined to oppose it equally as strong, and has given notice to that effect. The Liouse of Representatives transacted no business of any special importance yesterday. Mr. Cleveland, of Ohio, relieved himself of some ultra free soil sentiments, in a speech of the clap-trap order, which contained nothing new, being merely a re-hath of what Northern fanatics have said on the same subject, ad nauseam. It is really time that the debate on the territorial question should be brought toa close. According to the course pursued by the Senate, it is very evident that no bill, except one that will dispose of all the terri- torial and slavery questions at once, will pass that body. This may be considered as settled. Why not, therefore, bring the debate to a close in the other House at once? There is no doubt that every member has made up his mind as to the manner in which he will vote, and hence further talking “cannot be attended with any benefit. An attempt was made yesterday to fix a day for the conclusion of the debate ; but the resolution was not in order at the time it was offered. We hope it will be re-oflered on the first opportunity, and passed. Latest from Washington. OUR SPECIAL TELEGRAPHIC CORRESPONDENCE. Wasnineron, April 19, 1850, The committee on Mr. Bell’s resolutions will be all right. They will introduce a bill in accordance with the principles continued in those resolutions, and it will pass the Senate, without any doubt, by @ majority equal to that which carried the reference. It is not expected, however, from the temper of the House, that the territorial question will be permanently set- tled before September or October next. General Houston arrived here this evening, from Texas, and will take his seat inthe Senate to-morrow. Mr. Harriman, one of the Washington letter writers, was cxamined to-day, by the committee to whom the Galphin claim was referred. ‘The suspension of debate on the slavery question, for two weeks, in the Senate, will tend to calm exeite- ment and prepare people’s minds for a fair settlement of the territorial question.

The operations appear to be con fined »lmost entirely to the regalar speculators outsiders continuing searee. By certain movements: inthe machinery, the bulls pat up prices, with the hope of drawing in operators to relieve them of a por tion of the unproductive fancies, which have lately’ been rapidly accumulating on their hands. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $110,118 65; pay- ments, $54,464 48, Balance, $4,717,586 43.. ‘The amount of domestic cotton goods exported from. Boston, in January, February aud March, was $385,299, against $220,116 during the same time in 1849, The city of Memphis has subscribed $500,000 to the- stock of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad Com- pany. Holders of cotton are anxiously! ooking for later ad- vices trom Europe, particularly. from Manchester. Great difference of opinion exists here relative to the future course of prices, but it hes, from the first mo- ment a short crop appeared inevitable, been our opinion that prices must advance a great deal beyond present points, It matters very little what accounts one or two more steamers may bring, and the reports from Liverpool for a week or two later than those on board: the America, now nearly due, are justas likely to show a decline as an advance, There isone fact pretty gene- rally known on this side of the Atlantic, which is a short erop, and in the face of that, it is folly for the spinners of Manchester and speculators of Liverpool to carry on the contest with holders on this side. ‘There never has been a searon in the commercial history: of this country, when we have been better able to carry our cotton erop than this, and the lordsof the loom in. England will soon find that they. have made s great mistake in their efforts to force us to sell. They have heretofore succeeded in depressing prices for this great staple product whenever they have made an effort to do- 0, and have supposed that.the power was still in their hands. They will soon discover their mistake; and if they do not have to pey for their temerity, we will give it up, and let them rate prices hereafter without opposition. The three great regulators of prices for cotton in. the Liverpool market are Baring, Brothers, & Co., Brown, Shipley & Co., and Fielden, Brothers & Co.; the last exercising the greatest influence, and in ability decidedly superior to the others. Their agents are found in every southern port in the country, and, as re remarkable for'their fidelity to English. . The Fieldens are tho largest cotton manu- facturers in the world. Their commisston business in Liverpool, immense as it is, is subsidiary entirely to. their manufacturing interest at Manchester, These houres have ruled supreme in the cotton market, and have put prices for the raw material up or downet pleasure. This year they have received a chook that will learn them lesson. Their seeptre has departed, and from this time forward. pricos will depend more upon tupply and demand, than upon the dictum of a combination of the immense wealth of « few houses in Liverpool. What we have been so long and so anxiously looking for is upon the point of being realized. ‘The cotton crop, hereafter, with be controlledon thisside- | of the Atlantic, and New York will be the great dis- tributing point of the raw material, instead of Liver- pool. The consumption of cotton in this country bas. become fo great, and is progressing with so much ra- pidity, that prices for any surplus that we may have for shipment, will not depend entirely upon the whima and caprices of the spinners of Manchester. The mar- kets of Great Britain will not be so important as in past years, and as our shipments become more direet to the pointe of consumption in Europe, we shall be better abie to establish and maintain prices. Our manufae- tures already consume half as much cotton as those of Great Britain, the ratio of increase here is mack greater than on the other side, and the production o' the raw material cannot keep pace with the increase in ecnsumption throughout the world. We have shown that, under the most favorable auspices, a crop: oft vo million six hundred thousand baies is as mach as can be picked, and the annual cousnmption already | reaches that quantity, It, therefore, appears plain, that the movements in the cotton market, heneeforth, are likely to be highly important and interesting. ‘The course pursued in previous years, by the three houses above mentioned, has been adopted this, but not with equal suecess; in fact, this yoar, with defeat, out and cut defeat, which will result in « complete rout, The policy heretofore has been to let prices up in the fali, so as to bring the crop from its recesses, to increase the supply as rapidly as possible in the porta, and determine, at the earliest moment, the production for the year, As #000 as this oporation has had fall efiect, and the extent of the supply is known, the reverse movement is resorted to, for the purpose of depreciating prices, to enable spinners and these large houses to lay in large stocks. All kindy of reports are circulated relative to the crop, and returns showing any deficiency are ridiculed, and statements to the contrary put forth, falsehoods of every grade uttered by the ust honorable, high-minded men in the United Kingdem, to deceive holders and small spinners, To carry cut their assertions, they sell freely in the Liver- pool market, while their agents here are baying all they can, without raising prices. On ‘change, these houres resort to every kind of subterfuge to eonvey- the impression that the erop will be such larger than. Believed. They talk of advices received from their mort reliable eorrespondents, that the erop is pure to be 2300000 to 2400000 bales. In this wey, and by the most dishonorable, déepiéable means. they almost invariably succeed in breaking down the Liverpool market, knowing the effeet of 8 depreciation in prices there upou the markets of the United States. This game has been practised this year, end the energies of the three houses above mentioned have been exerted to their utmost to break down the | Warkets of this country, so that they could lay ino | full eupply of the raw material for spinning and for fpeculation. All, however, has been of no avail. Hold- ere here have been too well posted up, and inthe com- | mand of facilities for carrying cotton, to give these houses the elighest chance of success; and these de- pending upon future purchases for supplies for manu- | fretaring purposes, will pay dearly for their procras- tination. It is the impression in Englaad, produced princi- pally by the statements of the great speculators, that the crop thie year will rench 2.500.000 bales at least, and that the Yankees are bugging them by re- ave trad ee Re re ne, pleesats aj Las taveh, tore chan filed remedy las tave Se tees ook my ay case has aa outshed all : be cher ber “en 0 aria deena ty Lettasetersons 6 Hand. 3 mustorniy a4 be Aig Fe yuu that they ha | Lay ha porting # erop of only 2000000 bales, They believe that we have « larger eupply of cotton than represent- ed, that we are holding it back to put up prices, and that it ie only necessary to keep qnict, to Keep out of the market, to force holders here to diegorge.
