I desire to give you some anformation you may not ha’ home. I have ‘travelled through several of t uthera States to reach this point. I have be: jawearied in my efforts to gauge and estimate public seatiment. AI knew that South Carolina was ready for joint, oreven separate action, under an honest belief in the wrongs which have been heaped on the South by the recent legislation of Congress. | have ascertained, be & question, that not one of the Southern 8, beyond herself, is prepared even for joint action. I will take our two near- “est neighbors, North Carolina and Georgia. The ith few signs of animation, has fallen into her accus! and refreshing slumber, and seems Content to go on and inake her usual amount of tar and . Georgia, in passing over her entire width, appeared to me to be sinking rapidly into a ypatient and phi ie cali; whilst thirteen cents @ pound for cotton were powerful contributors to ¢make civil war and revolution exceedingly distaste- “ful to her people. It wasdeemed by some of her Dest a. doubtful whether she would hazard gest Carolina, in Geo “told me they thought that they might bless ir stars if her convention, so far from resisting these sate measures of Congress, did not lend an authori- ‘tative sanction to these measures. In her retreat you may expect she will take the back track, and ~Clear at a leap at least nine rails and a rider. The feeling of Alabama is likewise neutralized ‘by the high price of cotton. Beyond the strong lan- gusge heid by some of her presses, she exhibits all essential signs of undisturbed tranquillity. In- deed, it was quite doubtful, when I passed through the State, whether suflicient excitement had been Manifested to induce the Governor to cali the Legis- lature together, whilst no man pretended to doubt, if it were convoked, that it would do no more than “‘march up the Capitol Hill at Montgomery, and march down again.” ‘The great porvianty of Gov. Quitmin, of Mis- sissippi, and Mr. Davis, of the Senate, and the dele- ation from that State in the House of Represeat tives, will induce the Legislature, probably, to sus- tain the cal, without, however, immediately ap- gurhing within cannon-shot of secession. la- ed, one of the lar, and most intelligent plant- ere in Mississippi, whom | met ia New Orleans, in- formed me that, although the Legislature might be opposed to Gen. Foote, yet a majority of the people ‘would certaicly sustain him. Among the tokens of he change of public sentiment in that State may be cited the fact, that the late presiden: of the Nash- ~ville Convenuon is now the travelfiay companion of Gen. Foote, as the missionary apostle of peace and acquiescence, with probably the whole of the whig party of that State at h 13. Louisiana, what shall | say? except that she has made an average sugar crop, is as good chumoredly ecquiescent in those measures which you think call for action as old Sir Robert Filmer ‘would desire, if he were now alive, and is likewise quite prepared, when the occvsion offers, to sacri- tice oue of the most brilliant and talented repre- sentatives she ever sent to the onal Senate, be- cause he stood up the dauntiess, chivalrous and un ising champion of the South! Sacha aman’s genius, enthusiasm and courage should redeem, if nothing else. With the state of public sentiment in Virginia, ou are quite us well acquainted aslam. I deem it unnecessary to say one Word in relation to this @ncient commonwenlth, except in reference to a contingency which | shali hereefier briefly discuss. Tf, lore, the admission of Salifornia, the pas- ‘sage of the Boundary bill, and the act restricting ‘the sale of slaves within the District of Columb are one, or a)l of them, deemed by South Carol the casus faderis or casus belli, justifying a disso! tion of the Union, [ tnink it may be assumed, as a act beyond all dispute, that a majority of the ‘of not @ single other Southera State concurs her ie this opinion. Indeed, I might have spared myvelf some good humored sarcesin in relation to these States, by simply effirrning, that I believe, apart from all fear of the- consequences, they entertain the opmion that neither one vor all the measures to which I have alluded afford a justificetion for a disruption of this confederacy. It is not the fear of making my- eelf unpopular at home that will indace me wo declare my owa concurrence in this opinion, how- ever deeply | reprehend the admission of Califor- sria a8 an Outrage on every principle of justice to the other States. [will now proceed to state my easons for that opiaion very briefly, but with a | candor which | know cannot surpass your own magnanimity and generous forbearence in giving a dsind and considerate hearing to an old pubiic ser- ‘vant, who hopes he may venture, without treason, | ‘to differ in opinion with you. I begin first with the admission of Califor- Ly | undoubtedly, was an act of injustice to tater, and I should have voted agatast mission if 1 had been in Congre: Bat it ‘was no violation of the constitution of the United | States. The power of Coag' to admit States dnto this Union is limited only by the conditioa that the people who shali apply for such admission @hali adopt « republican form of government. The transit through a territorial form of civil polity.is gowhere prescribed as an indispensable asite, however generally eusteined by p Texas pussed tarough no such condition. cedent. ion might have been contested with Gar more plausibility; yet the Souch triumphed, and eecured &@ ox engrafied ia the compact, pro- eviding for the admission of four more slave States, to be hereafter carved out of her ter The freesoilers and abolitienis's of the North calied then upon the non-siaveholding States to secede, minder what they were pleased to call this outrage. "These Siates were wise enough to be deaf to this invocation. Ali that I contend fo: is, that the ad- enission of Texas furnished a far greater provo tion to the North to secede, than the admission of California does to the South, with the auxiliary sti- puletions incident to the former. But it is said that the adoption of the inhibition of the constitution of California was the intrigue of the late President Taylor, jis Cabinet, to avoid the responsibility of the Wilmot Proviso. The recent testimony furnished by Gen. Riley and Com. Jones would seem to place the strong denia! of this fact hy the late Pre- sident and King beyoad dispute. 1 cannot be- lieve that men of honor should li at all, ba: more especially without a motive. But admiting the interference of Gen. Taylor, this might have fur- nished a juetification for bis impeachment; bat it | could not have iafiinged en the constitutional | rower of Congrers to admit 1 new State into the | Jnion, if it saw fit. The truth is, felow-ertizens, ‘we lost California by a waot of ert of ection and enterpriee a the part of the nthern States.

Would aot our isolated surrendered some four territory to freesoilism. point of fact, T has not surrendered one inch of a territory in which slavery could exist for two years. Slaves might as well be taken to the Arctic coasts as to the territory in question. It would take a of negroes from January to Christmas to hunt buffalo to support themselves for the year, and do nothing else. Their hunt for water for six months in the ear would be far lees successful, for the clouds forget, in that country, to dispense their bene- faction from the vernal to the autumnal Equi- nox ; cursed with {the aridity of Arabia Deserta, it has the agreeable alternation of climate which belongs to the Equator and Zembla’s frozen coast. 1 will venture t® assert that a premium of five hun- dred dollars, with the condition of keeping him there, would not induce a slaveholder to carry his negro and plant him abeve jE! Paso. If he es- caped the coercive gripe and theft of the Coman- che, he would be sure to be invited to taste the aweets of liberty under the fraternizing hug of some Mexican Anacbarsis Cloots. The idea of slavery in such a country is too pre; us to be entertained for one moment. But it it is desirable as an exotic or hot house plant that it should be reared in such unpropitious soil, the end is easily accomplished. So far from slave territory bein restricted by the Boundary bill, it has, in point of fact, been enlarged from 36 3010 42. By anexpress rovision in the Terntorial bill, if the people of ew Mexico will it that shall constitute one of their interoal institutions~it is fully in their power. If the people of South Carolina wish to establish slavery in this territory, and indeed in all Mexico, I wilf stake my life on the issue that a thousand such gallant spirits as [ know are to be found among her sons, and five thousand negroes will accomplish it in six months. I should like to see the Hamptons and the Heywards, with their nation of slaves, in full march for El Paso. The Jews in the wilderness would be a light jour- ney to thi As a mere sum ia political economy, even if slavery had been permitted in California by the silence of its Constitution on this subject, [ have scarcely a doubt it would he proved a great curse to the old slave-holding States. 1 see that my esteemed friend, Mr. Burt, of Ab- beville, has told his constituents that the hibition of slavery in California has prevented their realizing fifteen hundred dollars per annum, to the hand, in her mines. Admit this to be a mest veritable vati- cation, I would like to ask how many negroes would be left in uld Abbeville, under such a tempt- ing lure, to cultivate its rigid and reluctant soil ? Why, such a premium on siave labor would have depopulated the South. The Mississippi bottoms and the alluvial levels of this creek could not have sustained the competition. We would have lost our negro labor, whilst our ague and congestive fever would have abided. Many more fertile por- tions of the South would be cursed by the blight of irreversible desolation. The fern and the fennel would have taken the place of the cotton plant, and we should have had restored, for every negro trans- perted to Calitornia, one of the original settlers of the country—the fox aad the wolf. Does Mr. Burt suppose that the nabobs, who, by gou Califor- nia from old Abbeville, could realize nm hun- dred dollars to the hand, would retura to Long Cane, or even the far more fashionable locality of the court house, to spend the princely fortunes they would realize in this new Eldorado? No. No Jenny Lind tunes her notes in that locality. No Tortoni_ exhausts in endless luxury all the opu- lence of @ gastronomy of which old Heliogabalus never even dreamt in his stomach visions be- tween one surfeit and another, They would go aud spend their wealth in New York, Philadelphia, Parisand London, where these voluptuous pleasures were to be bough!; and not one dime wouid ever return to erect even a tombstone in Old Abbeville. iow short sighted is man! We are urged to go into a civil war because, perhaps, we have been providentally prevented from ruining ourselves. It seems that another justifiable cause fur secession is to be found in the bill providing for the suppres- sion of the traffic in transitu slaves in the Dis- triet of Columbia, It is to be remarked on this subject that almost every slave Siate in the confe- detacy has enacted far more stringent restrictions on this trade, within their limits, than the provi- sions of this act, which has been the object of so much odium at the South. J cannot say for the passage of such an act,which seems to beiong even to the municipal police of a ciry, like Washington itself, we ought to dissolve the Union, end precipitate the country int all the perils of a civil war. 1 have goae through now, at far greater length then | designed, au analyeis ot the ineasures of the last session of Congress. My object was to show ycu the reasons why a majority of the people of the other Southern States do not consider that these measures, of themselves, ameunt to sufficient cause for a dissolation of the Union, and if South Caro- lina moves alone, it will be against their authentic sense of public policy, and with little prospect of their sympathy and support. | kuow it is believed that if we get into difficulty, and are beleagured by the federal goverameht, all the other Southera States will rasn to the rescue. flatiering unction to our souls.” Wise men do not get into danger that ether people may heip them out of it. But we assume, for the purpose of pro- bably procuring this sympathy, that the federal government are going te us the favor of bom- barding Charleston, and marching Mr. Clay’s army | of mule drivers across the mountains, Depend thing ; depend upon it, they will leave us very much Ww ourselves. It we declare ourselves out of the Union, and abolish the custom houses, and post offices in Charleston, Georgetown, and Beau fort, | they will provably anchor naval steamers of the | largest cl.es off these ports, as floating custom | houses, protected by the whole navai power of the | country it need be. Until a coavention of ali the Staies who tormed the constitution shall decide on the sovereign power of @ single State to withdraw | from the league—a power which I think mapifest | without digpute—! do not believe a gun will be fired, except in eelf-defence, or to resist an abso- lute onslaught on these floating reveaue officers.

This is alt er true. But we grappled then with what we believed u palpable violation of the constitution. We had an issue on which we could apply, through our own State Legislature, a scars remedy. But if the crisis had terminated blood, for which we were prepared, on this great question, we had the ie ie of the whole civilized world in our favor. Shall we have it in the issue you are now urged to make? Besides, in our free trade struggle, although we had one-third of our own State against us, we triumphed, and compelled Congress to repeal the odious tariff of It is a falsification of all history, to say this was a charitable boon—a concession to the fears aad weakness of South Carolina. It resulted from the fact that the General Government were less will- ing to look civil war in the face than ourselves. e were as well prepared as they were. We had 20,000 men enrolled, and a erty field train and yvond battery than the French had at the siege of ntwerp. It is time I should conclude this long letter, which has already been extended to an unreasona- ble length. Let me say something now of a man whose Opinione were little short of oracular with you, who now sleeps in his grave, before 1 speak of 80 insignificant a personage as myself. I believe, before God, if the voice of John C. Calhoun could now be heard from the tomb, he would call upon you to pause. If he were how alive, he would see that every hope he had formed, in the senguineness of his temperament, of the co- operation and alliance of the other Southern States, was fading under the gradual fall in the public spirit in those States on which he so contidently relied. He would see the Wilmot Proviso, as far as the legislation ot Congress is concerned, crushed and trempled under foot. He would see a Fugi- tive Slave Bill passed far more stringent in its pro- visions than he could have supposed would have received the eanction of Congress. He would see @ great party rising up at the North, great at least in wealth, intelligence and talent, who are re- solved to maintain the constitutional rights of the South. In spite of the «admission of California, flagrant as that act of injustice may have been, aa the passage of the Boundary bill, he would now sey to you, “‘ wait and bide your time.” ‘The issue or a pacific triumph must come soon.” “In 4n interest common to the whole South, the whole South must move in harmony and resistance to- gether.”” | believe this would now be his language, if God, in bis mercy, had spared him to us. Revolution, it has been justly said, is the ho!-bed of genius, and of high capacities for the public ser- vice. 1 trust that you may find some man who shall arise out of its prolific matrix, who shall pos- sess the colossal grandeur of the intellect of John ©. Calhoun. When | ask where are now the com- panions of my labors, in my free-trade struggies ? the grave can almost alone respond to my moaning inquiry. Calhoun sleeps in the slumber of death. The gift- ed Turnbull, with all his sterling iniegrity and firm- ness of character, his incomparable power ot inves- tigating and discussing the most subtle truths in po- ieee eens hy, has gone forever to his rest. Hur- per, with all his gigantic —) is powerless now. And what shall | say of the friend of my bosom, the endeared, never to be forgotien, and superbly endowed Hayne, a man of whom as | think, * my heart grows jiquid as I write, and [ could pour it out like water.” Where are McDaflie and Preston, once equally commanding, brilliant, and all power- ful, each in his own province of intellect; both stricken down by the hand of an unrelenting and crvel istirmity, God grant that you may tind such men in your epproaching struggle.

JOHN B FLOYD. ‘The Late Fugitive Slave Case in Boston. STAYEMENT OF WILLIS H. HUGHES, RELATIVE TO HIS TREATMENT IN BOSTON. {From the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, Nov. 22 } I ainved in Bostow on Saturday, the 19h of October, and kept concealed in my room until Monday, the 21st. During this time, I ascertained that Bill and Ellen had not left Boston, as had been reporied. I then called to see Mr. Shewers, (an atiomney to whom I had a letter from Mr. Fay, of Savanneh.) He was absent trom town, and | did not see him. On the next day, Tealled on Judge Levi Woodbury, and stated that | wanted a war- runt for the arrest of two fugitive slaves. He stated that he was pot the proper person to issue it. Tasked him to tell me who was the proper Lr to issue such warrants He stated he would re- commend me to go to Mr. Lunt, United States District Attorney. I called on Mr. Lunt, who stated that he had agreed to take a case of this kind before, and that it w unpleasant business, and created a great deal of excitement, and he would not take another case of the kind. I am in- clined to think, this statement of Mr Lunt a mere pretext 10 evade responsibility. I was unable to learn that there was eny such case ever in exist- ence. | wsked him to inform me who was the pro- r Rares so pry to. He recommended me to ir Benj. F. Hallett, United States Commissioner. | L ealled at Mr. 11.’s office, and he was oot at home. I then called at 11 o'clock at night, at his residence, and stated to him my business, and asked hun for a warrant, saying, that if [ could get a warraat, I could have the negroes arrested e said the law did not authorize a warrant to be issued; that it was my duty to go and arrest the negro without a warrant, and bring him before him. I stated to him, that this was Teqniting an impossibility under the state of things, and that that was not my coa- struction of the law, and showed him a copy of the law. After looking at the law, he said he would con- sider of it, and give me an answer the next mora- ing at nine o’clock. I applied the next day at e o'clock. He then stated that he had con- sidered of it, and that it was not his business to ad- vise me what course to take; but if | would meke outmy charges in a legal form, and come before bim he would hear me. I then went to Mr. ‘Thayer, a merchant, to whom | had a letter. I told Mr. Thayer | wanted an attorney. He got a friend who wentto see Mr. Seth J. Thomas, an attorney, who agreed to take charge of the case. tr ‘Thomas was engaged and called on Judge Sprague for a warrant. This Judge equivocated, and shuftled like the others had done. He then called on Mr. Curtis, a United States Commissioner. He wanted time, like the others, to consider, and re- quested us to call at four o'clock, P. M., which we cid, end he then stated that they had agreed to have a meeting of the six commissioners and the two judges, namely, Woodbury and Sprague, that night. They held that meeting, and decided that ing in chumbers. court, and make my complaint, when they ordered the warrant to be issued in open court, which the clerk did. By this time it was known all over Boston that the warrant had been issued, aad who for, und who applied forit. About the time the warrant was issued, a man, apparently of respect- ability and influence, was on a dry goods box speaking tothe crowd~—advising the negroes and their frends te arm themselves with bowie knives, pistols and dirks, and resist the law unto death— that if it was a law of the United States, it was tn direct violation of the law of God, and ought to be resieted at all hazards, and advised them to shoot down all slave catchers from the South. The warrant was then placed in the Ma bands--I! told him | was ready to go and poi the negroes to him. He said that there was a question whether he could break the door of Bull's rhop, Where he understood he was locked up. He tock the balance of that day to settle that question l called next morning, and told him | was again ready togo He then said it was reported that Bail, (whom he called Mr. Orafts,) bad left town, and he bad a man on the look out, and we must weitfor himto report. I also had a@ man on the same business. [called on the Marshal again in the afternoon. He said bis man had reported that Bi'l wes vot there. [ then stated that my man re- ported that Bul was there. He said my man was mistaken, for bis man wus reliable, and could not be mistaken. The next day my attorney went to see the Mar- ebal, who stated to him that he was ready to go with me alone. | immediately went to nim and proposed to proceed et once. He then said it was 4 difficult matter, and he would have to get a large , some twenty or thirty men. He had made this teme exeure before. At dinaer time this day, my eighth day in Boston, Mr. Knight and myself were both arrested, under @ bail writ, in the penal- ty of $10,000, for slandering Craft, alleging that we hed chorg: d him with stealiog his bogy end chethes. This con: umed the balance of this day. On the Monday following, we were both again arrested under the bail of $10,000 each, for damage ing “one William Craft his business.

About teatime, we were both again ar- rested forslandering Klien Crafts, and held to bail 1 $20,000 each. When arrested the etherifi told-me I must go with him to h ice and give bood—I told him [ could give bon my hotel by sending for my se- curities—that if | went to bie t would eol- mob again, aud they bed al dy insulted much as I could bear, and I wanted to avoid nrrenee of similar tucts. She sheriff, however, still persisted, and required me to go. We started, bat ecoa met my |owyer, who said that one of my eccurities Was on hie way, and told the sheriti that we should not ge his office, as the bord was then given for $20,000. ‘The next day, I learned that the mob had col- lected the mght before at the sherifl’s off asl hed eupposed, end that among other things said and done there, while they were oa the look out for me, @ negro was there on horeetwek, charging and ewearing, that he would be the first maa to shoo Hughes when he made his eppearence.

Tee Arrenrrep Fuernive Suave Excrrement 1n Boston.—Some few days ago, the United States Marsbal received, from 4 party in Norfolk, Va., pamed Auron Miltardo, a draft for $650, being the jue of a female slave who, some Ume since, ram ay from Virginia, came hither, and is now mar- ried toa colored man, called Cornelius Sparow, who resides in this city. The draft was accom- panied by a letter to General Devens, asking him to present it to Sparrow for payment, so that he meh thus ransom his wife. The Marshal, or one of his deputies, obtained an interview with row, exhibited to him the letter and draft of Mr. Milvardo, and asked him what he thought of them. The reply was, that he would give an answer after consulting an attorney. Subsequently, Sparrow called at the United States Marshal's office, and eaid that he should not * honor” the draft. The interview between the Marshal and Sparrow was of afmendly character, and not one word was said about “ suffering the law to take its course.” The Marshal told Sparrow that he had no warrant, aud that Mr. Miltardo desired only his services as am attorney, which, owing to his connection with the United States Court, General Devens said it would be impossible for him to render; but as the dratt came from a respectable party, it was entitled toa respectful answer, and that was all which the Mar shal desired for it. The abolition vigilance com- mittee, or some other party equally mischievous, obtained these facts from Sparrow's counsel, Mer- ris; and after garbling them, had a statement primt- | ed for the purpose of creating another fugitive slave excitement in Boston. The Marshal, who, from the first, was conscious that it was no part of his | official duty to secure the payment of Mr. Miliare | do’s draft, has sent it back to Norfolk, with 4 let- | ter ring that it was incompatible with the obligations of his office to act as aa attoraey in any metter likely to come before a court with Which he we Ne some degree, identified.—Boston Courier, Dee. 3. Explosion of the Steamer Antotnette Dou- | glass, on the Alabama River, [From the Mobile Herald. Nov. 9 | The steamboat Arkansas, No. 5, which arrived last evening from Montgomery, brought the sad im- telligence of the explosion of the boiler of the steamboat Antoinette Douglass, ‘at Tate’s ~— ssterday moraing, (26th inst.) between four _ five o'clock. | | It eppears that previous to the occurrence, the | Douglass was lying aground oa Tate's Shoals, and while her captain was making every effort to | her over it, she burst one of her boilers wih @ | terrific explosion. At the'time, the greater part ot the passengers (numbering some hundred twenty-five) were fast asleep. The noise instantly woke them, and those who were unhurt tled to the | deck im the greatest terror, The sealding steam | rushed through and enveloped all parts of the boat. With great difficulty, a number of the passengers, with several of the wounded, fled in their aight clothes to a barge laden with cotton, which the Douglass hadin tow. This was cut loove from the wreck and went drifting down the stream. Fortue nately, the steamer Arkansas, No. 5, wes lying about a mile aboverthe scene of the disaster, and hearing the explosion, aad apprehending the caaxe of it, immediately got up steam and went to the rescue. She soon reached the buraiog ruin and took off those of the passeagers who were on it thus, in all probabiliily, saving numbers of them irom a watery grave, or, perhaps, a more terrible ‘ath by tire. She lay apdas wotil the hari cane roof of the Douglass wes enveloped in flames, at the unminent hazard, it is said, of her own safety. She then drifted down and took off those were on the barge which was cut loose. Shortly efter, the steataboat Wm. Bradstreet come alongeide, and offered every assistance ia aid of the survivors, many of whom took passage on board of her. Below we give a list of those who were killed, wounded, and reecued. It is stated that there were about one hundred and twenty-five passengers on board of the Douglass. Of these we have accounts of come ninety-five. The others, it is supposed, were killed either by the explh r, ia theur ver ror, fled to the water, and we ned. The ef fects of the passengers were t entirely dew | woyed. We bear that Com ¢, who wae among them, saved his baggage. The papera and books of the boat were also lost The cotton deetroyed is reported at about eight hundred bales. Including what the Douglass had | on her barge. there were some fourteen hund: bales altogether. About half of this was on the steamboat. After the above was written, we learned that young Edwerd McCord, numoered among the wounded on the list tel dived after his arrival ia the city ; also, that Mr. King is dead.
