COBMORAMA, corner of Thirteenth street New York, Tuesday, February 25, 1851. | Summary of Telegraphic News, Our telegraphic intelligence presents a number of points of strong interest. In the Senate of the United States, yesterday, Seward and his associ- ates presented petitions for the repeal of the Fugi- tive Slave law. They were laid on the table. | The Postage bill was then taken up, and after some | debate, the question was taken on adopting Mr. | Rusk’ bill, instead of the House bill. It was de- | sented. No doubt seems to exist in the public mind, that vast advantages would flow from the estab- lishment of this line of steamers, not only to the commerce of the country, to the intelligence of the country, but to the well-being of the nation; last, not least, that euch an enterprise would have adi- rect anda salutary influence in removing future causes of sectional animosity and local excitements, ja reference to the African race. Providence has put the fortunes of that great division of the human family into the hands of the American republic. For many successive ages, the existeace of vast millions of savage and brutal men on the African continent, has been an enigma to philesophers and naturaliste. Sofar back as we can trace the his- tory of the African population, by the light of authentic writings, it appears that their story has been the same at all periods. Numerous ri- val tribes, illumined by none of the light of civilization, and fired by the most ferocious passions that devour savage races, have been at- tempting to exterminate one another. Not quite 80 large a share of the disgrace of the slave trade rests upon European shoulders, as has been sup- posed; for, from time immemorial, coasters and traders along the western borders of the African continent have been tempted to engage in this traf- fic in men by motives even of humanity, snce, ia nearly all instances, as far as we have any know- ledge, slaves carried away were captives taken ia war, who would have been immolated on the altar of some heathen god had they not fallen into the hands of civilized men. In this way the Southern portion of our eonfederacy, through the policy of England, while we were7colonies, has been popu- lated with a laboring class. And now siace their number has reached three millions, and they have become civilized and enl'ghtened, to such a degree in fact that a very large proportion of them receive religious instruction from week to week, and not only call themeelves Christians, but display, to a great extent, the chief virtues that belong to that profession, the time has come when, in the Provi- dence which guides the world, our nation is enabled to accomplish the great objects of prac- | tucal utility, not only to itself, but to the uncounted millions of Africa, by carrying out the scheme which has been recently suggested, and which now lies for action before Congress. We design in a short time to take up the whole subject of African colonizatfon. The idea was started some thirty or forty years ago, end it met, at the time, with the approbation of enlightened, | discreet, good, and farseeing men. Had the plan cided, by a vote of thirty-one to eighteen, in the affirmative. The material differences between the bills are stated under our telegraphic head; and the ‘bill is such a muddy and mixed affair, that Congress had better leave it till some clear headed project $e proposed, which will spare the government and the coun'ry much confusion. The Senate was en- | gaged, also, in a debate upon the President's mes- sage, to which we have so recently referred that farther comment is unaecessary. The speech of Mr. Rhett was answered by Mr. Clay, who seems w have a broad and comprehensive understanding of the popular feeling on the slavery questioa, and of the power of the government cf the United States to enforce the federal statutes. The debate wae an interesting one; but we had hoped that there did not exist amen in Congress who could enter- tain opinions as to the weakness of the government te enforce, or the disposition of the people to obey, the requisitions of the law. In the House of Kepresentatives the French Spoliations bill, and severai other subjects were discussed, among which was the Compensation and Mileage The attempt of Mr. Phoenix to in- woduce an amendment to the bill for appropra- tione of the Philadelphia Mint, wholly failed of ite ebject. It was decided to be out of order. A chow of a dve\ was made yesterday, between | Meeers. Sionley and [oge. Shots were exchanged wnhhout damege to the persons of these individuals, gad they retired, very well satis‘ied with their morning’s work. Duels are out of fashion, espe- cially before breakfast. From Albany we have the intelligence that Mr Feehmar, by sticking nebly et hispost, hes de- feated the election of Hamilton fish. Mr. Beek- men hes pledged himself to keep the doer shut agaiast Fish; and every citizen of New York who has any regard for the constitution and laws ef the country, wil) rejoice im the overthrow of the man upon whom Weed had set his hopes.

We hope still, that the time is already come when our Congress feels the force of these considerations so deeply, tha! the plan now before them will meet with their highest approval, and gain immediate attention. More lies in this matter than some peo- ple imegine. There is here, so far as we can per- ceive, little scope for individual speculation ; at all events none, except so far as the hope of gain may be a fwir stimulus to capital, to bring it to bear upon @ great end humane plan, that will ultimately re- sult in incalculable advantages to the whole world. Its one of those movemente, which, if prosecuted with vigor, will expand the wings of commerce over fields where they were never spread, and ex- tend the circle of civilization over the bosom of one of the most fertile continents on the face of the earth, where the light of Christianity, of well re gulated commerce, and of civilization has never yet dawned. Tue Cr ATION or FLax IN Tne Unirep r partof our paper we present a report of a discussion at the Farmers’ Club ofthe American Institute on the growth and culti- vation of flax. The subject is an important one, and 1s daily acquiring new interest, from the fact that in England there have been several patente secured for the spinning and weaving of this s‘aple, | and also from the zeal with which the capitaliets | ofthat country have entered upon the cultivation of the plant, and its appliance to manufactures o/ vari- ous kinds. The annexed letter from Mesers. Wre- ford and Lloyd, ot London, who are proprietors, we believe, of the Mark Lane Express, accom- panied by some beautiful specimens of the new flax ttaple, of different colors, will add another evi- derce of the impor‘ence to our countrymen of en- tering into an early competition in this branch of production :— No 26 Brecsww Lave, Feb 7, 14652.

Christopher. of 26 Gresham atreet, | Arrnorgiation For THE Removal or Ossrave- tions aT HurieaTe.—We notice that Congress, ia exercising their power for the improvement of rivers and harbors, have appropriated the sum of thirty thousanddollars for the removal of the ob- struction to navigation at Hurlgate—that small Seylla and Charibdie of the East river, through which the Long island sound steamboats, and mony coastiag vessels, have :o pass. That nothing has been done hitherto to improve that passage, 8° important to the commercial welfare and coave- nience of the metropolis, is one of those instances of public indifference which become most marked when they have ceased to exist. Hurlgate isa much more important point of approach to New York than is usually imagined. In consequence of the danger in passing through it, the rapidity of the steamboat intercourse with ports on Long Island sound hes been much abridged. Besides this, ma- riners and steamboat captains have always avoided attempting the passage of the whirpool after night- fall, so that the amount of inconvenience to the commercial public has been immense. New York herself, could well afford to expend three or four hundred thousand dollars to clear the passage of obstructions, rather than the obstacles to night navigation should be continued, to the expenditure ofan important part of the day, when steamboats are obliged to pass the boiling gulf. When the obstructions have been removed, steamboats can leave our piers after nightfall, soas to land passengers the next morning at an early hour at the various ports on the sound, and this much time will be saved by the travelling public. In addition to this, the danger of the passage will be removed. This 13 no small consideration. Many vessels have been injured or lost upon the rocks at that point, all of which might have been saved bya liberal provision for the removal of the obstacles. We are quite happy, therefore, to find that some really valuable steps have been taken to obviate the difficulties hitherto encountered,and we shall watch with uncommon interest the expenditure of the Congregsional appropriation, with the hope that it will prove adequate to the demands of the case. Above all, we hope that the work of expurgation will go bravely on, till captains shall learn to smile and give thanks, instead of swearing, as they now must, whenever they are forced to try the minia- ture incelatrom. ‘Theatrical.

On her entrance she was greeted with a hearty —en Amerioan—welcome, such as is ever given tothe stranger; and a shower of bouquets were thrown asa homage to her beauty before she had uttered a word to prove whether she was, as an actross, deserving of the compliment. We were led to expect, by the tame which had preceded her, a rich treat in the perform- ances of Miss Julia Bennett.—we were prepared to fee an actress of great artistic ability, anda lady of exquisite personal charms,—and in each particular our expectations have been realized to the fullest ex- tent.

GENERAL FOOTE AND THE DEMOCRACY. GENERAL FOOTE’S SPEECH. GREAT ENTHUSIASM. General Foote, United Stated Senator from Missis- sippi, heaving been waited upon and requested, and having consented, to meet his democratic fellow- citizens ef New York, to receive their thanks for the conspicuous part which he took in the settlement of the slavery agitation during the last seseion of Con- gress, Tammany Hall was in a state of excitement last evening. HMalf-past seven o’clock was the hour at which the faithful were notified to be in attendance; Dut im consequence of the unfavorable state of the weather, they did not assemble until « few minutes after the appointed time. When the doors were thrown open, the multitude rushed in—General Foote, the officers of the meeting, and the committee, having gone in previously—and the ceremony commenced. General Foote was received with a round of cheering and an outburst of applause such as are heardin the old wigwam wh is received of a great triumph ofthe fierce democracy in « municipal election, or at the Union meetings which have be within the past eight or ni Atthe head of the room # banner was displayed bearing the inscription, “The Union! it t and shall be precerved.”” There was another in the centre, on which was prinved that postion of Washiagton’s fare address caution!

The last time I had the honor of appearing in this hall was during a very gloomy period of the Mexican war, when it was deemed expedient to give eficie yupport to the government, in the prosecution of that by adopting resolutions expressing the determination of your citizens to. suppost the most strenuous measures which the administration could adopt for that purpose. I came here in company ig an honored friend of mine (Gen Houston), never shall forget the fervid enthusiasm displayed, and the noble resoiutiocs which were sdopted, on ‘that cecarion. Had! not kcown before that this hall was the sbode of patriotic sentiments, I should certaialy bave known it t But, fellow citizens, permit me to say, that I have watched the course ot prossedings in Tammany Hall from my eacliest manhood I teit, when I first entered this hall. that it was asacred place end I felt that I was deeply honored iu bsimg invite: to come here und interchaage men here, most cf whom i timents with gentle: are now living, upon ting.

(Applause) Others may have doubted, but I never doubted, that the democratic party was, inthe main,a Union party. If amy man could beve doubted it. bis doubts would have been dissipated during the administration of Generel Jackson.

And wasit not from bie patriotic lips we derived that noble saying, © the federal Union, it must be preserved’? (Vociferous applause.) I feel bound to ray, that while great conflicts have mm carried on between different parties of the country, on this parti. euler point, the great demecratic party of the country hae never been essentially divided upon it. Men have eprung up in both the old parties, who bare proved re. creant to principle, and have, toa certain extent, eus- eeeded in diminisbing the yf of both; but. formerly as now, the leading nen *t both parties—the beet men, the most patriotic, and the most enlightened men of h parties—your Clays, your Casses, your Webrters, and a host of others—stood shoulder to shoulder (to ure the emphatic language of the gevtieman who has just addressed you). a united their energi io avertiaog the ir which threatened the constitution. and, by their united efforts, triamphed over disunion aud its advocates.
