According to the developemeuts made during the great debates in the Senate, it would seem that the Southern members in general are gradually con- eentrating upon the Missouri Compromise line, as the platform on which they will alone settle the present difficulty that pervades Congress and the country. This indication, first developing itself i the Senate, seems to have simultaneously received the sanction of several important meetings which have been held in South Curolina and Georgia. ‘These meetings are only the first that we have ob- served to take place in the Southern States, but there ccems in that region of the Union, and that the whole South, and all parties, may probably unite in de- amending the old “ Missouri Compromise line” as the only principle on which they will settle the pre- sent diflicuky in Congress and throughout the Union. # Very significant conversation on this poiat took ‘ace between Mr. Clay and Mr. Mason, in the Se- In this conversation, Mr. Clay made inquiry whether there was @ probability o the Southern members, in a body, being satisfied with such a line os that of the old Missouri Com ne of 36 30, carrying it from the western issouri to the Pscific Ocean.

A short time will bring the conflicting elements in both houses to some distinct and positive crisi on this important matter. It is better for the Seuth and all parties to meet the erisis in the present Cor grees, than to delay it to a future day. It is a erisi too, in which the cabinet and its policy resemble an old vessel going over the Fulls of Niagara, with seven respectable lony-eareé animals, quietly eat- ing their provender, end utterly unconscious of the tenible gulf belo: ‘Tue Canmer Arracks on Ma. Cray.—Within 2 few deys past the ergans and letter writers of the cabinet have increased the measure of their vituperative end viper-like malice against Mr. Clay. After this exhibition was’ so positively manifested, we were prepared for some further dis- play on the yaurt of the cabinet, of its atrocious and dastardly spirit; aud, sure enough, we fiad it filling upwards of four columns of that cabinet conscript, The Republic. The eabinet concocter of the article, like en anaconda, winds about Mr. Clay, eod, finally, with serpent-like grace, aftempts to crush the noble statesman. The despicable cabi- ret, knowing Mr. Clay’s high and popular posi- tion, which no honors can exalt, make two or three whining and cunting apologies for insulting the Kentucky Senator, and then attempt to repre- sent him to be in his dotage. They represent that he would be better engaged in the shades of Ash- land than in the hall of legislation; that the honors he has wen in moking two compromises for the peace and welfare of his country are sufficient for his ambition, and that Mr. Clay should not have at- tempted, so late in life, to tax his decaying powers | With a subject suited only to the sogaeity of the | cabinet. his ig the tenor of their discourse; and | there is no honest, patriotic and* sympathising heart—there is no soul animated with pride by the contemplation of the most intelligent and con- sistent statesman of this country—that will not anathemstize the desecration of an intellect that has devoted unestimated and invaluable resources to the glory of this country, for nearly half a cen- tury. The mean malignity of such an attack will be reflected back with awful force upon those who have dared to discredit, by a foul suggestion, the brightness of that mind whose setting glories are to be deemed its height of splendor. Mr. Clay has reaped more honor from his labors in the field of statesmanship, than any other living man. Lis elevation to the White House would do no honor to him—he would ennoble that elevation itself; and as he can never expect, and will never desire, the chief magistrate’s chair, it isa piece of gratuitous and heartless cruelty, by a preconcerted movement on the part of the corrupt and con- temptible cabinet, through letter writers and edi- tors, to represent that time has devastated one of the moet original and powerful minds of this coun- try. The conduct of Fox and Sheridan, struggling | for place, when the imbecility of the third George was made the stepping stone of their ambition, comes forcibly to mind, when we think of the present position of the cabinet towards Mr. Clay. ‘They would have elevated the creature of their own intrigues, egainst the king and Pitt, and their victo- ry seemed certain, till George proceeded to the church, St. Paul’s, and offered up prayers to Provi- dence for his sudden return to health. That event | controlled the destiny of Europe for half a century, end has still its influence as a remarkable interposi- tion of Providence. A similar event, we have faith encugh to believe, will yet save the country, by abendening the prevent cabinet to despair, for their moclery of one of the greatgst men of this age. The corrupt cabal who have been fattening on the revenue of this country, by paying claims of which they themselves are principal recipients, may escape the mark of the finger of Heaven; they may mock the age which they should honor and reverence ; but, if Heaven is ever seen in his- tory, they will assuredly meet with an overthrow, while virtue shall be triumphant.

Tux Cuurcues amp Ponrrics.—The new school Presbyterian General Assembly have been in ses- sion, at Detroit, for eightdays, and have distinguish- ed their disewssion from the old school Assembly. ‘The latter, at Cincinnati, have diecussed the value and beauty of the Union; but the former are in- tent upon a debate upon slavery, and whether a Christian can become a slaveholder. They have exhibited strange peculiarities in their arguments. On the eighth day of the session, there was quite an animated diseussion. A Mr. Olark desired a reso- lution, to the effect that voluntary slaveholding should be deemed an evidence of guilt, under one of the offences named in the Book of Discipline.— ‘This brought out the conflicting elements of opinions. Fourteen presbyteries, some churches, and some individuals, it was stated, had memorialized the Assembly, on the subject of slavery, while the Synod of the Western Reserve and that of Indiana were in wordy opposition. When this fact came out, confusion reigned, and the question of who were Congregationalists and who Presbyterians, arose, to create quite an excitement. Mr. Clark thought that the free Synod of Ohio and a new Assembly would act like a couple of mill-stenes, and grind up the old Assembly, which he was ad- dressing—probably, to make flour for a new batch of assemblies to feed the fuithful, and those ambiti- ous of distinction and high places ia the chureh, A Mr. Curtis, of Ohio, seemed to smell out powder for political purposes, It was the object, it appeared to him, to attempt the strengthening of the churches, by geining votes. He was inclined for a middie course. He did not approve of giving poison to the South and then administering antidotes, in the spirit of the majority report. Mr. Reed, of Virgini replied, and took broad grounds for his platform. Testement, and showed thut there were no politics among the early Christians, so far as the interpreta- tion of the New Testament was an evidenee— winding up with the annexed four resolutions: Nerolved, 1. That the system of slavery existing in these United States, subversive as it is of the rights of humanity, opposed to the commonsense of justice, and intense with the high epirit ot duty, is deeply to be de- tored. * Resolved, 2 That, although the legalized system, as such, ie an abomination in the sight of God and men, yet the principles of the gorpel and the practice of the wpostles Go not Warrant us in pronouncing the mero relation Of master and fiave, as instituted by legal epactments, a ground of church censure. Resolved, 8 That, while the only safe and authorized ground of admission to church is eredible evidence of piety, they who refuse to recognise the relation of the slave to God as an accountabie agent, who treat man as 4 mere chattel, and buy aud sell tor gain, dissolve the marrioge Lie, aud perpetrate other acts of cruelty, fail h that ercdible evidence, aud are therefore pro- © of discipline. Resolved, 4. That, as the sessions and presbyteries are the constitutional judicatories for the trial of of- fences, the extetence of slavery in our churches, and its special attributes im individual cases, be referred to the supervision of those judicatories. Upon these resolutions there has been no action as yet, but itis very evident that there will be a storm before the convention rises—plenty of thun- der and lightning—and a greater splitting of church steeples than has occurred in the West, since the coming up of the new school of piety out of the old. Mr. Clark, with his compeers in ambition, are determined to have a new organization, with new lights, and to obtain a position that only can be procured by anew platform—a kind of Buffalo religious platform. So much for “mixed elements” of politics and religion, leaving the culture of souls for the nur- ture of emal! politicians, fer the support of party , tactics, derecrating the true offices of the Christian religion to the abuse of miserable political trick- eters, who care not for the destruction of all the | churches, the gorpel of the new dispensation, or | anything sacred, so that they may inherit of the kingdom they would set up, the epoils of office, and the loaves and fiches of their unhallowed aspira- tions. Let these conventions go on a little longer, and the ranks of infidelity will be filled fall, while pious men will attend no church but that in the heart, as Milton did in his latter days, casting aside all visible charches as corrupt end injurious to the We are on the brink of the abyse—or the alternation of catholicity or infi- delity.

The pro- duction of ‘Lucia di: Lammermoor” last week, cre- ated a sensation, ard some displeasure was mani- fested at the announcement of Signorina Steffano- ni’s indisposition in the last act.

Itis not suited to her voice or style of execution. Madame Persiani, with a profuseness of forituri, could do it inimitably, and Signora Bosio, we doubt not, would do wonders in it; but itis making too much of a demand upon vocalists to impose tasks wholly epposed to the style in which they excel. We do not expect painters to execute landscapes, figures, cattle, clouds, and ma- jestic portraite, with equal ease. How hard is it, then, to demand of a vocalist a succession of ea- denzas and a series of notes which only expose her to invidious comparisons! It is like giving tothe lips what they cannot relish. Artistes are frequent- ly called upon to hazard their fame by such experi- ments, for the purpose of gratifying public curiosi- ty; but judgment upon the part of the managers, should be so well tempered as to discriminate be- tween any whimsical complaint and a want of in- clination, founded upon a just knowledge of one’s own ability. Having said thus much, we await the return of the troupe, to see what our fashionable commhity are going to do at the Astor Place. The eathusi- ast is beginning to work to a head, and great results mey be expected, Boston, however, will probably not be surpazsed, in any one respect. The Bostonians, however, are not so liberal with the opera performers as we are in New York. They complain biiterly at paying three dollars fora ticket, and not baving all the promises in the bills fully performed. There was concert on Saturday night, in which the whole company were to appear, but Steffanoni was too ill to sing, and there were com- plaints at sucha disappointment. Bostonians ought to remember that they have a climate that would affect the voice and lungs of a polar bear, and much more readily that of a delicate throated warbler.

This convention of the democracy, originating nuch more important in regard to future events then those inexperienced in the philosophy of poli- tics would seem to imagine.

In fact, the troubles in Tammany Hall—the disease which | afflicts the democracy in this State—ie precisely the | a false charge of forgery.

The Holy Catholic Church alone has escaped this epidemic. The slavery question has acted like the cholera on fections and parties, of every hue, ae well as almost every church.

MONEY MARKET. Tvrspay, May 28—6 P. M. The stock market was a little more buoyant thie morning, 80 far as prices were concerned, but the trans= actions were limited, and most of them for ensh. Go~ vernment and State stocks were particularly inective to-day, With all the efforts made by the speculators. for a rise, to sustain and, if possible, further inflate prices, most of the fancies now rule below the highest’ points touched this season, and sellers st the top of the market have had many opportunities of buying im their stocks and pocketing the profits, At the first board, tofday, Erie Bonds, new, advanced 2j per cents Norwich and Worcester, 1{; Reading Railroad, Farmers’ Loan, 1; United States 6°s, 1867, 4; Mohawk 4%, Hudson River Railroad fell off 3 per cent, and Morris Canal, %4.

These large pay- mente were in eccordance with the law reeently passed by Congress, Most of the amount went into the hands of the lerge bullion houses in the street, and will fiad* its way into the yaults of the banks, and form the ba~ tis of a greater expansion. Weare rapidly approach- ing such times as the expansion and speculation of 1835 and 1836 produced in 1837. We are going through the sume course, and in time, doubtless, shall arrive at. the same result. We learn that the amount paid at the Assistant. Treasurer's office, by Col. Snowden, the Treasurer of the Mint at Philadelphia, this day, is $1,156,456 02, which was paid on 206 separate deposites at the Mint, About # million, it is said, was paid in Philadelphia. ‘The steamship Asia does not bring any important: commercial or financial intelligence from the ol® World, Cotton and broadstuffs have not experienced any variation of consequence in value, and the de- mand continued the same as previously reported.

Senater Dickinson, frem this State, has Introduced ‘& very important bill in Congress relating to the eur- reney. It provider for the colnage of two new, neces- sary coins, and will prove very acewptable to the com- monity at large, It referred to the Senate Com- mittee on Finance, and we hope it will receive imme- diate attention. Illustrations ef the new coins have: been mado. The cent ts about the size im Qiameter of a dime, of a reddish color, with a hole in the centre. The three cent piece Is a little lees than a half dime, and of a white silver color, The cent ts designed as a jubstitute for the present copper eoln, and coutains the proportion of silver expressed in its legend. The effect of this infusion of precious metal, small as ft is, is to reduce greatly the bulk of the coin of that de. nomination, and to make it mach more convenient and portable, Its weight is 25 grains, while that ot the present cent is 163, The large round hole in the centre of the picee is a novel feature, and@ has been introduced for the sake of the following ad~ ventages —It extends the diameter of the plese to o proper measurement, being the same as that of the dime, whieh is as small as could bo desired for such » colo; it affords a distinctive mark, by which the piece may be reeognised and safely paid out, evea by the touch; it #flurds a facility to retailers to put the pieces up in poreels, sey of a hundred or a thousand, by stringing them, or putting them on aa upright stake or file; and laftly, the complexity of manufacture will throw some impediment in the way of counterfeiting» if that is to be apprehended, The three cent piece ie en alloy cf three-fourths silver and one-fourth eoppers its weight 127) grains; its diameter just midway be- tween the gold dollar and the haif dige, The bill pro~ sides that its devices shall be“ conspicuonsly differant from those of the other silver coins,” and consequent ly, we have a radinted Mberty e&p on one side, and « wreath eveloring the Roman mumerale TIT. on the re= verse, It iv distinguished from the half dime dy « rmooth border. ‘The weight of the proposed thece cents piece is so adjusted acto enable the government tr make the exchange without lose to {tself, aad there willbe none tothe party applying. The bill provides that the three cent pleee ehali be paid out at the mint and its branches fyr thore and some othor varieties of mall silver coin eutrent among us, bat for no other kinds of coin or bullion.
