The reception which the compromise of Mi Clay,end his ceadjutors in the Senate, hus ree ed ‘frem a namter of the tevding representatives of the fouth, bodes very unée vorably towards the pre- sent or permerent settlement of the shavery ques- tion, The wra and afti-slavery represeatatives frvm the free States, have always been set down as opposed to avy reasona®le compromise on this difli- eult question ; but when we find, én addition to this conceded obstructton, that many of the leading Senators from the Sowth are disswtisfied with the effort of Mr. Clay aad his patriotte-coadjutors, the horizon @head, looks zloomy.as regards a peacea- ble settlement of thie troublesome and annoying eontroversy. If these disastrous alienations between the North and Scut: are ellowed to go on fer a longer period of time,end aflect*he action of both branches of Congress, as they have done, we see no other ter- minstion or alternavive than that of such a serious division between the North amd South as must Jead tom final separation,in a few short years more. Every espect, in every direction, looks gloomy and imeuspicious. We talk very gravely occasionally of the annexation of Cuba,-of the annexation of Canada, and of the annexation ef the rest of Mex- | ico, and such ike-movements, following up the re- eent remarkable growth of this republic. We fear that all such enlargements as may be embraced in sich movements will soon be swept fromthe minds of men, and that the continuance of this hitherto happy Union, will be- come the deepest.purpose for which patriotic Ame- ricuns may contend. The signs of the time,in every direetion seem to be against the hope that any fa- ‘voruble termination of these internal difficulties will take place, either now or hereafter. The anti-sla- very sentiments ofthe North are of the most violent, altra gad determined kind, and neverwill relax the grasp upon the movement upon the two great parties in the free States. What does it avail, if the original anti-slavery faction, holding its con- ventions in this city, should be prevented from ‘Uttering its anti-uuion, anti-christian dogmas, by the power of the mob, or the intimi- dation of a set of rieters? Such a circumstance only gives edge and eneouragement to the original supporters and promulgators of the opinions which have creased all the diffculty between the North and South. The eabinet of General Taylor, from its weakness and imbecility, has only added the little influence it could command in the same di- rection, and leading to the same result—that of a permanent alienation between the North and the South, which may end, in a few years, in an entire separstion and diss»lution. On the other haad, the leoding men of the South, calculating like practical steteemen, are beginning to turn their attention to their own local resources—to the power they possess on the industry of the civilized world, in their crops of cotton, rice, and tobaceo—in the productiveness of their mines of iron, coal, and gold —in the mnmense quantity of water power they ecmmand—in the capacity of being their own manufvewurere, their own ship-builders, their own exporters, and their own merchants, all along their own seaports. } With all these views and positions of public men, we fear much that the patriotism of Mr. Clay and bis eminent coadjutors, will be overborne by the fanaticism of the North, and the local interests of the South; and that this stite of confusion and disaster is unfortunately increased by the weak and wmbecile conduct of the cabinet, pla in office by an wmiuble, patriotic, and good old man, whose wishes and principles are the furthest from lending his noble pume to aid or assist sueh an unhappy consummation of faction es the dissolution of this Union. The principal reliance for a settlement of the difficult question has hitherto been upon the petriotic Senators and Representatives from the North and West, including several from the South. These «forte appeur, by the recent “ givings out,” to be fruitless and inefficient. It is time now for the neble old patriot at the head of the nation—for General Taylor himself—to assume the highest responsibility and influence of his great position, and :2 useertain whether, by some positive and de- | evied ction op hie part, something cannot be done | to avert the dangers that menace the aafety of the | country in the present erivis. | the reason why women sympathize with the suf- | fering slave. making, ure painful, and must result ia 4 rickewing venve of almost despairing diszust at the history of the West fifteen months, Bat we are not without ‘hope that the intimations of our special correspond- ‘ent are to be speedily realized. tudeed, we are sa- tisfied that the cowrse of the Republic, both in giving the cabinet the assumnce of the country that the days of thetr paliry umbition are numbered, and in yielding so much’ of the President’s plan of compromise as belongs to their pitiful genius, which that newspaper has unequivocally done, is significant of ‘the dieselution in which every friend of the country and of the President will rejoice. ‘The only strength of the cabinet has been in their union among themeclves ; but this cannot be perma- nent, for they stant iseluted, the object of suspicion and distust to every konest mind, and notoriously incapable of administering the purposes and princi- ples of can enlightened, honest, and fair-miaded chief magistrate. ‘Without regard to the impor- tant declaration of our especial correspondents and with no assurance fathered merely by our anxious hopes, we see the ead of the obstinute dynasty who. haveveast oblequy-mpon the government, and await to see the leaky -old seven-oared barge split to picees, the desperate swimmers saving what they can,in the wreek which they have straggled so lomrio avert, while tossed by the surf of public opinion.

Sech a call caused great excitement in Ohio among the wamen, and they anet.in convention also, at Salem, Ohio, to the number of about five hundred, gurls included, on the .29th ult., in the Baptist church. ‘The men seem to have had nothing to do with it. The Presidents, Vice Presidents, Secretaries, bu- siness committees, &c., were all composed of wo- men, gathered from all parts of the great State of Ohio, which is justly celebrated.as being ahead of any other State in the Union, in the march of in- tellect, the progress of science, and for the cultiva- tion of pigs and the fine arts, including beautiful girls and sweet corn. When the conventien had been duly organized, letters were read fromthe principal women in the union—in that line of progress—consisting of the editresses of newspapers, such as Mrs. Jane Pier- ton, editress of the Lancaster Literary Gazette— Mrs. Sanford, of the True Kindred Gazette, Cayu- ga Falls,.Xc. All the authoresses and writers that could be ecared up were heard from. There were presenta great many speakers, (women) too nu- merous to, mention. A preamble, and resolutions to the number of twenty-two, were adopted, as well as a memorial to the constitutional conven- tion (men). This women’s ¢onvention lasted two day ‘This is going to work in earnest. The resolu- tions are to the point, and regularly Ohioan—going the whole apjmal—for which that State is remark- able. ‘The various, ebjects of radical reform desired by these women, are simply as follows :— ‘They wish to participate in making the laws by which they arete be governed. Good. They wish the same rights, laws, and protection for one sex as for the other. Better. They state that the servile submission of the women of this cowutry to the unequal and op- pressive laws by which they are governed, is the fruit of degradation and ignoraace. Excellent. They reeolve, that their own welfare and the highest good of the sex demands, that they showd secure to themselves the elective franchise. All right aod proper. ‘They reeolve that the laws in favor of man, toeon- | trol the person and property of women, are merely a modified code of the slave plantation, and that is Modesty itself! They deelare that, as human beings, women are entitled to all the rights that belong by nature to any member of the human family. This will do. They protest that all distinctions between men and women, social, literary, pecuniary, religious or political, based on distinction of sex, &c., ought to be abolished at once. Most unquestionably. ‘They also say that the practice of holding woman to a different standard of morality and propriety, is unnatural, and highly detrimental to domestic and social fun and happiness. Certainly. ‘They are perfectiy satisfied that a republican go- vernment is just as much down upon the women as any hereditary despotism. No doubt about it. ‘They say that “all things work in a circle; weman must put forth her hands courageously, disregard public sentiment on many matters, aad | graep them in distegard of the usages which have | hitherto withheld them from her. ‘The circle is good.

We have all along seen that the popularity of the President mast be endan- gered, if not entirely subverted, by men unfitted for their high culling. We did what we could to five them a feir trial for three months, when they showed their hend to as in ao pliin and carious a manner, that we could not misjudge them or their future. Prom thet time, we have repeated our eon vietions of their anworthiness—of their insin- errity to President Taylor—of their danger to the eounty, and of their im ity to grapple with the grewt questions of the day. The mortification of seing an honest and popular min, whom we were proud to serve, made a sacrifice to men destitute of shame and principle alike, impelled us to look with 80 favorable eye, even upon any appearance of fair- nese on the part. Their whole course has justified ours. Almoetevery net that they have attempted to accomplish, hus cart diel to lessen the dignity of the E however, hus now come for them to be swept away as with a besom of indignation; and, anless they have the brazen firmness of a Chinese sky, they will now permit the Presidentto receive the united congretulutions of the whole country on his relief from # burthen, severe and trying to himself, and diegreeeful to a mortified people. Their history hae been one of imbecility, littleness, meanness, ond intrigue. They have basied themselves with the petty detoils of offiee, with flimsy efforts at con- solideting the power delegated to them, by the smallest ond most trifling means, while they have lost sight of the great principles whieh they should heve embraced, in honor to him who had appoint- ed them to stations above their merits.

Bat to succeed, | we think the women must adopt two leading mora. | sures at once—without an “ if "—without a “why or “wherefore.” The one is, to cut off their long hair, and the other to put on the breeches. We ndvecate a pretty woman going into an election with long hair of petticoats. She would not be on an equality with the male sex, in a fight at the polls, Faney a woman in « street political fight in the Sixth ward, with her hair all disthe- vetled! It will never do.

Such men as Hlorece Greeley, Albert Brisbene, Dick Dana, and all (ie Socialists, Fourierites end Red Republicans in New York and Ohio, could be provided with three cast-off petticoats, and they cotéd then part whh their breeches, and enable ihe females to go tothe polls, in proper costume for a row or a street fight. We have in our eye now,¢ur philosophic tricud Greeley, at home, in petticoets, washing the dishes, and talking eocialiém with the negro boot black in the same kitchen, while Mrs. Swisshelm, in his breeches, which she hes exchanged with Horace, is swearing at the reporters, and kick- ing them out ‘of the reporters’ gallery im the Senate at Washington, What a great reform! Duna, washing-elothes in a socialist hospital, in pet- ticouts, and talting Parisian socialism to a female Alderman, with whom he has exchanged his Liceches, or perchance with Miss Margaret Ful- ler (now the Marchesa di Bobolini)—how glori- ous! And Brisbane pealing potatoes on a barrel in a kitchen, with the pealings in his lap, while Mrs. Piereon, intights, is relating to him how she got her eye blacked in licking a female policeman who had arrested a nigger for theft—glorious!. We like the ideas of the Ohio females amazingly We want them to be carried out immediately. We shall have amore fun, frolic and fights, than ever was known. Let the females attend the election polla, and the whole community will attend to politics. Let wemen assert their rights, do as the men do, and we shall have riots in abundance. This is the last card of the philesophers and fana- tice—this woman’s equality and social rights—and the most difficult one Fourierism has got to play. Assoon as they have arranged all this, we may consider Fourierism and socialism as fairly breech- ed and petticoated, ready to travel through the length, breadth and circumference of these solemn United States. This is the age of reform, with a vengeance! sa The and the Courts, In resuming our observations on this subject, we may remark, that to a laymen, who attends the courts, either as a mere spectator, reporter, juror, oravitness, no marked difference is perceptible be- tween the state of things under the code, and that which existed before, except that the pleadings are such as we have stated in our previous article, and are under oath ; the issues instead of being few are sometimes many ; the precise points to be deter- mined are not ascertained by a glance at the plewdings, but by a minute analysis of them; and when palpable errors or variances in them are dis- covered, frequent discussions arise as to whether amendments should be permitted, if s0, upon what terms, and thus the case is often extended toa period much greater than that which would have been necessary if more strictness in form were re- quired. It is often the case, too, as the pleadings are under oath, that they are read to the jury, and much commented upon, not merely as pleadings, but as the stories of the respective parties. In this exercise, the lawyers display all the invention, humbug, logic, and sophistry suitable to the profee sional discussion of evidence. There is one more prominent alteration visible in the trials, and in this respect much time would seem to be saved, though such is not actually the case. The code has abolished objections to a wit- nese, on the ground of interest in the event of the suit; but this provision does not extend to a party to the record, nor to one for whose ‘ immediate” benefit the euit is prosecuted or defended, nor to b ego wicmata’ fe panne of Nocong witnos ‘Under the former law, any pecuniary interest in the event of an action, disqualified a witness. ‘When one who would have been incompetent is would-be done avay with Calior-| IPOBTANT FROM WASHINGTON, Spied eee ’ ¥ SERIOUS ASPECT OF THE GALPHIN CLAIM.

The committee will not report before the last of next week. Not a member will justify the couduct of Messrs, Crawford, Johnson, or Meredith. ‘The report, when made, will call for a resolution of im- peachment, It is now well enough ascertained that the cabinet will speedily break up. I have it from a quarter not to be mistaken, The President is con- vinced of this; and the whigs of Congress can now talk to him. There have been some interesting scenes be- tween him and his cabinet. The movement is a curious one. The cditors of the Republic were called up to the ‘White House yesterday, and they will probably keep cool for afew days. This tends to increase the mys- tery, excitement and confusion. But this is the policy. The Ewing investigation gets darker, and the alarm sounded in the Kepublic in doing its business. According to the best authority, the cabinet and its policy are to be dismissed, and the President surren- ders to Mr. Clay. The friends of the compromise are sanguine of the Bevate bys handsome majority. It is now thought that nearly all the Southern men will be brought to its support, and it is expected that, with # new cabinet, the House will be recured. On the other hand, some of the extreme Southern members are rather pleased with the news from California, and think that the longer any action is delayed, the greater the prospect of the Missouri compromise. Mr. Clay's plan gains rapidly; but the contest will be terrible. Much, how- ever, depends upon the new cabinet. But Messrs. Clay, Cass and Mangum are very confident. The latter has had» talk with the President, and it is apparent that everything is going right. ‘The cabinet are only waiting the judgment of the Galpbin claim. aa We have in type the reports of the Ameri- can Board of Foreign Missions, the Columbian Peithologian Society, the Thirteenth Anniversary of the New York Female Missionary Society, and the American Society for Melioratiag the condition of the Jews, which are crowded out of ourcolumns by a press of other matter. Hox. Danre. Wesster.—This distinguished Senator arrived in town last evening, and will pro- ceed as soon as possible to Washington. Some allusions to his political course were made by Wendell Philips, at Brooklyn, last night, in hie | anti-slavery lecture ; but they were promptly met with a storm of hisses from the highly intelligent and fashionable audience who had assembled in Plymouth Church. A New Puass 1w ovr Crry Pourrics.—For some time past, a secrét movement has been going on among certain members of the Common Council, to establish the whig party of this city on the plat- form of Sewardiem, with what view is best known to themselves. It has shown itself particularly prominent in the appointment of persons to offiee under their patronage. When an application is made, a Sewardite is always ready to refer it toa com now called to the stand, in most cases, nothing is | at that time said about his interest, but the counsel tuke care in summing up, to consider the testimony, | of the witness, in reference to the question of com- petency under the old system, and credibility under any tystem. The gentlemen of the “long robe,” | as they are called, though they wear no robes at all, are great advocates for the liberty of speech. ‘The provision about the assignor of a right of | action, above mentioned, was intended to reach | this difficulty. At law, before the code, every action | was required to be brought in the name of the party | having the “legal” interest in the right of action, and against the party or parties legally ** liable,” to that the action on a bond, which had been assigned, was in the name of the original | obligee, and not of the assignee. La chancery, the | tule was exactly the reverse. The code requires | the suit to be brought in the name of “ the real | party in interest,” and all persons may or must be made defendants, agaiust whom any decree for legal or equitable relief may be made in the case. The assignee, therefore, prosecutes now, in his own name, and may call the assigoor to swear the demond through—unless it can be shown that he ateigned it merely to make himself a witness—a Not oply are interested parties examined as witnesses, but, contrary to the former rule, each party to the record may call the other to the stand. We have teen this tried frequently, but never ia any case that the party called did not swear for "himself; leaving his adversary, of course, the gratification cf going out of court to inform his friends that he | foolishly relied on the conscience of his opponent, | | and was delgated. We have watched the operation of this code, and connot perceive that it either diminishes or cheap ens litigetion, or makes it more useful in the effec. tuation of justice. On the contrary, we believe | thot litigation i# increased, by the facility for com. | meneing actions. The greatest ignoranus ef a lowyer has only to state a case suitably to the “ecmmon understanding,” and when it comes be- fore the court, any holes in it, which an expert ad- versary may dircover, are, if possible, covered with the judicial petehwork called “amendments.” The svite are not, that we can discover, brought to a conclusion co rapidly as under the old system. The dfleulty ef preparing long answers and replies, of itself, creates delay; and when suite are determine j we ere informed by an able and extensive practi: | ticner, thet the costs are, in the long ran, about as great ws under the old system. There is this, also, to he swidl, that, before the code, a connsel propor. | ticned the fee charged against bis client to the pros | bo ble emount of costs to be recovered; whereas, ow, we beliewe thet the practice of liwyers in geed stonding is, to make their clents pay inerea | uneel fees. to compensate them for the od. ticoa! lebor whieh develves upon them in drawing, in every ente, the special plewding, which was, an: derthe old system, required only in a very few Co the whole, we enanot pererive that the eode hee simplified oF abridged pleadings, I speeches ‘The proaieed reformation, tein g right war to be mode co chewp and bes fided sway, if indgrd it ever nppe are cecupled, and will be for what the present cede n Jer it occupy the jm: in Chambers, day efter dey, and it frequent: ee of the Srpreme Cov in difler widely in their de point.

Seward, an acquiescence in which obtains for him at once the promise of a favorable considera- tion of his application. It has happened that one of these committees was not composed of the right material for the would-be rulers of the whig party, and considera- ble difficulty has occured in consequence. A de- termination has been manifested to proscribe all who do not fall in the train, and proclaim a power higher than the constitution, though the party | should die under the operation. We are inclined to think that there is pleaty of business, in which the whole city is interested, which requires the attention of the Common Coun- cil, and which has long suffered through most re- prehensible neglect. ‘The members sit about one anda half hour per day, for which they receive each four dollars, and, instead of attending to the duties which belong to them, and which are re- quired at their hands, spend their time in trying to make political capital for their own aggrandize- ment. Itis high time that men should be chosen to manage the affairs of the city, who ure above the contemptible truckling to a particular man or mea- sure, and especially when that man or measure is discarded by the majority of the people whose in- terests they are chosen to serve. It isto be hoped that a sense of duty will operate upon those mem- bers of the Common Council who have been en- g*ged in this basiness to abandon it, and tarn their attention to the business for which they are paid, thereby rendering service for value received.

This is the road we have frequently spoken of in cone nection with the Brie Railroad of this State. The monthly receipts of each are about the same, while the cost of the Baltimore road is considerably leag than one-half of the Erie road, So far as the stocks of these eompanies are concerned, as investinents,. that of the Baltimore and Ohio road is certainly pre- market we so frequently meet with. Ata recent meeting of the stockholders of the Wor- cester and Nashua Railroad Company, it was voted te yeurs, and sre not to be sold for leas than 95 per cent, Mortgage bonds of the Sullivan Railroad Company: have been sold at 80 cents, to an amount sufficient te provide for the doating debt. ‘The gross reeeipts of the Camden and Amboy Rail- road Company. for the first three months of the present year. exeved those for the corresponding period the previous year, about twenty-four thousand dollars. « This is the result of the reduction made in the fares lust fall, and is contrary to the anticipations of the company. ‘The increase in receipts will be propor. tionably larger during the summer months, and we have no doubt the company will be amply rewarded for the efforts already made to comply with the wishes: and promote the interest of the community, ‘The expose of the situation of the stock of the Hars lem Railroad, and the way itjis held, which we gave yes- terday. is conclusive proof of the soundness of the advice we bave so often given, that the utmost caution. should be observed in receiving Wall street statements, and that little or no reliance should be placed upom them. Here we see the bulk of the whole capital stock: beld by Wall steert brokers, the directors of the compa- ny anda few of their immediate hangers on. This shows the appreciation in which it is held by the public, and: the disporition that exists to invest in it. It shows, too, most clearly, that we may expect all sorts of favor- able stories and statements to emanate frem those who are saddled with the immense load, and who must manuge. by book or by crook, to get up an excites ment, by which they may be enabled to relieve them- selves of their burthen, and get out of the scrape. This- in, however. becoming daily a more difficult undertak- ing, for the device has been so often resorted to, that it is becoming too threadbaretosucceed. We again warn all concerned to be on their guard, and to receive, cum uno salis, all statements emanating from parties who hold #0 large an amount of #0 very poor an article, which they are evidently doing their best to persuade somebody to buy. ‘The accounts from the South, relative to the prineipa crops of that section of the country, are rather gloomy, On the high and dry lands, the fly has destroyed near- ly ail the plants, and in many parts of Virginie and North Carclina there will not be more than a quarter or half a crop made, for want of plants, On all the low cotton lands throughout the South, planting has hard~ d. In other sections, where the colt 14 frosts have killed the young plant, it ie too late to re-plant, and the prospect of even an aver- ‘age crop is at present rather unfavorable. It is worse than last year, and it is the prevailing impression «mong planters, that the yield this year will be about as near two millions of bales as the crop now coming” to market. In the sugar growing sections of the coun- try. things look rather discouraging. The crevasesabove- New Orleans have considerably damaged sugar planta- tions, We have not beard enough about the grain crops of the West to form any opinion relative to the probable result; but it is our impression that the im- menee emigration from the new Western States, must. have a material influence upon the quantity of land. put in cultivation, and in the event of the season be ing at all unfavorable, the aggregate production must ‘be rensibly diminished. We see by the accounts whieh. reach us from time totime of the stock of breadstuffa at the principal shipping ports on the lakes, that the supplies to come forward this year are limited, compar- ed with those st the same places the same time last year. ‘The receipts will, however, without doubt, be sufficiently large to prevent any improvement in prices, and probably will be larger in propor- tion to the demand, than during the season of tne | BVigation ia 1849. ‘The shipments to Europe are come paratively nothii d the only possible ehanee for @ demand from abroad is the failare of crops in Great Britain, It is too early, at present, to tell anything about ‘h an event, for one week may change the whole appearance of the crops, from the most favors able prospect to the most gloomy result.
