The roll of the committee having been eallsd, Mr. E.

Carried, The Caaim announced that a committee had retired for the purpose of introducing Governor Foote, and that his arrival might be expected in a short time. On motion of Mr, Hart, the committee took a raceas of ten minutes, At eight o’olock, Governor Foote arrived, attended by question of the Wilmot proviso seemed not at that tims to have been thoroughly tnised in any quarter of the country; for, if I reecliect arigbt,the propoAtion to restrict | slavery income sections of the confederacy—that ix, the constitutionality of the thiog—had never been calledinto | questim up to the time whem the father of ths non-intervention principle, Lewis Oass, (loud cheers,) first Ceclared in the Semate his opinion to be that the federal government had no right whatever, under the constitution, to interfere with the domestic institutions | of the South or any part of the con‘ederasy.

Free soilism becameiusugurate. at Bulfalo, The Batlalo platform was pat forth to the country under the eanc lon of bigh namen; organization was aet on foot most mischievous in ite character, most Caugerous to the Usion, and which would have been most fatal to the peace of this pecpls but for the fact that the people were too erligh tened and too virtuous to give it their pa- tropage and thus make i; mors efficient for evil. Gens- re} Taylor came to cftice in 1850, whom the danger arisirg from thir source seemed to have gained ita groatest height, and when geuerai slarm and eo)icitude prevailed in the country im reference to the coilision between the two eections, which seemed them more than likely to rise out of the earcest aud uorelaxing mainienance of this ab- rurd and most Copmatic theory. Iwill mot etoupy your time, gentlemen, by going through the bistorical partiou- lars connected with that period of oar history. I reco! lect well, gent.emen, that wher this republic seemed to be slaklog to its contre, when uviversal solicitude pre- vailed thronghout the nation im reference to coming events, when multiplied causes of various kinds seemed allto be combixing for the destruction of the noblest | the committee above named, and was received with ea- Shusiastic cheers. ‘Mr. Avpay then presented the following preamble and resol ations ;— Whereas, the recent exposition of the present and past orition of the *Uid Guar :’’ of the democratic party of the forth, made by the Hon, Messrs. Walsh and Cutting, the able and consistent representatives of the demosracy of this city in Congress, aid the no iss explicit and forcible definition of the position of the Union democracy of the South, by the Hon. Haary 8. Foote, of Mississippi, in his recent speech at Washington, nieet the hearty approba tion of the democracy of this city, and demonstrate the rationality of thet party which, under tae guidance of Cass, Dickinson, acc Buchanan, in the North, aud Foote, Houston, and Uobb in the Soush, have preserved the in- tegrity of the Union agaivst tee machinations of the abo itionists and free roUers of the North, and the incendiary secessionists of the South, who, ‘by their coalition, under the lead of the’ present Cabinet, betray their insincerity in the past, and sole object in tae present, viz, the gratification of revenge, and {their Own perronal ascendancy; and whereas, the demosracy of this city, who regard (he acta and not'the professions of public men, view the prevent position of the administra- tiom a8 hostile to the democracy North and South. Therefore, Resolved, That the cemocratic party of the elty of New York tender their thauks to Messrs. Walsh and Uut- ting for their eloquent and forcible vindication of the in- tegrity of their posi iom, and the scathing rebuke of the present unscrupulous and unprineipled administration, Resolved, Toat the democracy of this city, in the re- ception of ‘the Hon. Henry 8 Foote, of Mississippi, hail and welcome the compeer of Cass, Cobb, Dickinson, and Buchanas, the abie and patriotic advocates of the oom- promise of 1850, and the determined supporters of the union of the States against the treason of the Van Burens of the North anu the Davies of the South, now united im a coalition offensive to every sense of an honest 8.

Resolved, That thia preamble and resolutian be pubd- lished in the National Democrat, Naw Yorx Heap, and the Washingt m Senisnel The resolutions were received with great applause, sad, on motion of Mr. Hart, were adopted. The Cuair then introduced Mr. Foors, who was reosired with loud cheers. He spoke as follows: Mk, Paresinxnt anp Geytiemar—It is with feelings of re- jolcing that I embrace the opportanity of interchanging sentiments with you on existing cirourstances before I take my depariure from this portion of the United States, in order to take up my residence in the (ar distant State of California, Gentlemen, the questions now under consideration in various parts of this Union are of vital— of intense importance. I know you appreciate the im- portance of these questions, fully already; and I feel that it isnot in my power to add in the least degree to the intenee solisitude which you must fesl as patriots ia re ference to the dread crisis which has 60 unexprotedly come upon our country. I des!gn to deal with the matters and things which I shall presently discourse upon in that plain, and fravk, and, perchance, I might add—for such will be my aim—that bold and manly language becoming the exigency at which we have arrived in our national affairs. (Applause,) Before 1 commence this general ‘address though, may I, without giving offence to, the worthy gentlemen who do me the honor this evening to report my poor remarks, suggest that the report they will make of what lam about to say, and which neces sarily will bes very eondensed one, may be considered ‘as a mere substantial recognition of what may fali from me on the present occasion, because a8 to morrow [ leave for a distant part of the country I might not have ‘an opportunity of sbielding myself from any accidental misconstruction that may be placed upon my words. | have said, gentlemen, that the present crisis was s dangerous one. I asert, a5 | asserted a few nights ago at the capital of the republic, and with sincerity equal to that which I then felt—and my siucerity can, I presume, be scarcely questioned—that in my judgment the dangers which now surround the country are greater, more serious far, thao were the same dangers when they presented themselves to our view three years ago, (Applauee.) And my rea- sons for ro considering, gentlemen, I will state to you. ‘Then the whole country was roused toa state of high vigilance—then the eyes of patriots all over the nation wore turned ia the direction of that danger—then effor's were making in a)! part of the republic to obviate the anger «) bended, The press of the conntry was boldly speaking ont the language of truth fm every State in the confederacy; and our public men, both in oar State Legislatures and in Con- @rem, and elsewhere, were using language of plainness and explicit frankness, which left no room for doubt as te what they really thought and felt im regard to the tate of things then existing.e We were then threatened with Gisunion—with a rupture of the sacred Union es- tablished by our forefathers, the wisest and most patri- otic men, I think we all conour, that this world has ever known. (Applause.) I say, gentlemen, that at that ‘time, in all parts of the confederacy, our public men, our Wewspapers, and all having authority, or having ro au- Bhority, who felt am interest in preserving the great in. Gorects that were protested by this Union, were vigilantly looking out for the purpose of sera tinising those cangers ‘and obviating them, And those dangers which I say ‘tage menaced the security ef the eountry were such as Grose from causes now existing, and whish I am about to Bpecify, An attempt on the part of ome portion of the Comfeteracy which I have ever respected and loved—Dbut, thank God, I bave never yet deen able to discriminate umfavorably s;ninst any sestion of the country, for ‘I iknow no North, no South, no East, no West=nothing but the; Union’’—=(sppiause)—to use the language of @ wise and patriotic statesman who has now cesoonded to the tomb—but I can say with perfect trath, that at the Period referred to, the perils in which the country was in Yolved arose from an attempt made by eertain Persona, (to om I do not care to apply the language of pecitic des Gription, im this part of the country to interfers with the domestic institutions of the Southern States of the Union im various forms, The Wilmot Proviso restric tlom, as it is called, was urged upom the country with @arnectnes, with vehemence, with relentless violence, by many, The free soll heresy had extended iteelf, for it bad reostved extended sanction—sanction in high places sanction from some of the first men of this section of @* Union, The great principles gonmected with that fabric of liberty that the wisdom of man plenned ia | Sny age of the world, then, in this enlightened oity, the | ‘wiseom, patriotiem, and public spirit o' your peopie, re- gardlers of ancient party ties and ancient party disci, pline brought into existence an organization which as serted,in a solema and imposing form, conse) vative of our invaluable institutions of gevernment, protective of all the svotional interesta of the country al:ke, aud assertive of those great truths which lio at the wry foundation of American liberty. (Joud applause.) ‘Then it was I had the hapless to iuterchauge sentiments and opinions won the question which now again presenta itael! for our consideation, I say the danger then was great but qrteater now, for the Teatons I bave state’. But there are one or two reasons besides which I must present to yon, by way of compariacn, in support cf the proposition. hatis the concition ef things now? The people are tlumbering—they appear #0; Dut I believe the people are feeling more solicitude than they are manifestiog outwardly, The press, w @ great extent, is brived, and every man knova it: yes, to a great extent bribed. plause.) It is conctliated aud corrupted by the apoils of eflice spd cfiisial patronage Bribery is # serious thing to charge, but it is the duty of every hoaest mau who knows it to exist to denounce it| What is the state of things in other respects? Is there not # great calm ex- isting, coxs\Jering \bat this crisis is as great as I believe it to be? Why, the calm was almost perfect until the other day—until the eloquent voices of your New York repreaea- tatives in Congress were heard thundering in the ears of their slumberiog associates the dread truths whish their conscience compelled them to utter, (Enthusiastic ap | oS pad ) Formerly I have shown you that what we call ree Foilism, wae incidentally under the patrosage of government, Now, [ am compelle} to say—ob! it pains me to acknowledge it: as ® national democrat, it is with shame and mortification I mast acknowledge it; but I am bound to state the truth—at the present moment, id the philosophical historian will bereafter record, it, and everyjobserving man murt kuow it to bs true; the govarn m of the United States stands in a statelo! formal, acknowledged, nud almost boasted alliance with free soil- ism. (Applaue.) For the first time in our history, this #iatement can De truthfully made. Does any man coupt it? Why the danger of \his cursed heresy was pretty fully disclosed, as I bave said, during 1850 and, bei appreciated, patriotic men {a the two houses of Congres: mined to guara aa far as they could agaiast the {which ihey raw menaced from that quarter. (het the transaction occurred which I took rotice of the other mght in Washington, but of which /ush an imperfect account bas been made that I feel ound to preseotit in & more formal manner at this time, for it isa part of American history little known but vita! in its character, and extremely important to be known to us and to poste: General Taylor, as honest aman in my opinion as this ccunmtry ever produced, bat unqualifiec for the perfuraasce of Frosidential dutise, was aglorious old hero, but, like most old soldiers, was gent; ous and unsuspisions in bis mature, and it uafor- tunstely happened allowed bimeelf to be deluded by false counsels. And Ietate only what you can ali ayouch when I say thet his mon inations for office in New York, in the New Noglapd States, and even in parts of the Far West, were alinost sll of them of men who were ut der the influence of William H. Seward, for his benefit, and for the beneSt of thoee affiliated with him. Free coilism was attainivg a fearful strength at that moment. That monster giant was rapidty inoreariog in vigor; and in creased alarm began to prevail in the breasts of those who bad the best opportunity of knowing the facts crnmected with this state of things. I was at that time commiss:oned by some of my brethren in the Senate to report upon the existing sta‘e of affairs, and | made a declaration to this effeot:—I said that some of us had come to the copolasion that the peace and quitt of this country could never be effectually secu except by the enactment of compromise measures, in dispensable to the restoration of harmony in the country anc tbe prerervation of our institutions, and that the pas- | i the mont dinrracr (Ap- | & emerson es SALA EAT HONE a EMBER FI SOE: RPE iE, AREER NST SSSR Seco AEA agree CED having im view the destruction of the republic?

Then they felt they Lad aright to ccmplain; and we have complaived in va- rious forms; and shortly, in my opinion, the population of the South’ will be up in arms (Applause.) Ido not mention Mr. Davis’ defeat for the purpose of exultizg over @ fallen foe, but to show the state of public sentiment at the Sonth. The South will never abandon you, as they know you ms tained their rights agsinst ® host of assailants, Recently, while is South Carolina, detained by an accl- dent in travelling, I feared from the previous hostility of the people against me; but, on the contrary, a commit. tee of South Carolit jtlemen came down and re- quested me to address the peopl I told them I must speak frankly, and I should talk about the free soil nomi nations, They eaid they shoul: be glad to hear I spoke in substance as J have here. They sanctioned my views, and requested @ copy for publication, Thus you ee that South Cerolina is witn us. I canalso say ‘that the South will be united in your support. Many of et to proservo ¢ R ieoe oad w asge of those measures cc uld never be necaced so long as an intiuence eo pc tential for evil was possessed by a body of men clad im cfficial robes um the North, who had received authority under the advice of the party 10 whom I have allucee, (Wir, B, Seward ) and who were seeking t> use all the influence of their official position to the farther. ance of the principles to which he had devoted bimeelf. I said, therefore, for myself and my associates, that we were determined to strike the axe of reform to the very roota ef the tree of evii—that we were de. terized to etarve out the monster, and not allow him to feed apy longer onj the offictal putriment that bad previously been provided him, Ibad made this declaration beiore to one of the most eminent men in the Sens He asked me whether I waa perfeotly in earnest in the Ceclaration I nad m: I told im certainly. ‘Then,’ ‘I bespeak an interview in the morning.’ An interview was proposed between certain gentionen in high officjal station, whom I do not feel authorized to naw: minent editor in your xcellent man—supplied mé with « catalogue of officis: nominations sent in by General Taylor to the Senate, all of woich nominations were of the 8 Foil cr abolition etamp—all of which it was said it was necestary for the peace and quiet of the country should be dispoed of negatively; and that cata- logue Weajtaken into the Senate, and there the Clays, and Websters, and Casses, Dickinsons, and Gadgers, aod all the rest of the patriotic Senators, with a view of raving the republic from harm, putting down heresy and saving the goverpment from rain—all these patriots joined in voting down there nominations, Aye, while we knew what we were about the thing was deliberately done, From the same ecitor I got another catalogoe, » similar one, and afterwarce another. When General Tayler died anc Mr, Fillmere came into office, what do you think Millard Fillmore did with them—the warm hearted, patriotic Fillmore, Whenghe thought bis country in cangtr he united cordially, and much more warmly than most men know of; in hearty efforts to bring about the adoption of the compromise messurss, and, know, afcer he came into office, not only sigcing bilis, but sent in an official mestage which was subject to much criticiem at the tims, That & time when mea united without party, ittle thing which ce son—that moble-hearted, gallant man, (cheers,)—that ‘earless and incorruptible patriot that man who, by re- jecting the Preridency some months ago, showed himrelf to be above the Presidemcy—that man, who, ekan am ig to told not overburthened with wealth, was not disgrace bimrelf by holding the office of collector of the portof New York when it was insultingly tendered him—that map, when the caal caine measures were on thetr pareage, and whon a vital question connected with these measures had caused them to come up again for reconsideratic went to the White (House, and urged upco Mr, Fillmore, fir all hia w) friends of the North, to make en Lao prtriotic, burning appeal to them, that if they loved their country they shoukl stand by him im bringing about the enaei. ment of these measures.

The rumor of this e‘Teeted the subscription list somewhat, and, if unfounded, should be dispelled at once, in justice to Captain Low, but if true, it should be so stated. The members sgreed with Mr. Ogden, and Mr, Warkmm moved that the Chairman and Secretary be appointed « committee te make due inquiry relative to the matter. The motion was adopted. Mr. Aspinwall, who had just entered the room, was asked if he had heard such « report, or if he knew of any facts which be could communicate in reference to it? Mr. AsriywALt stated that he had heard of it, and fally inquired into it, amd the facts were, that Captain Low was ® young men, hamane, and unpresuming; bork in Ireland aud reared in Baltimore, Upon the occasion of 4, when spon bis first fe asked by Captaia Wathirs what he would °h*rge for | tabing the people on board, ke replied:—* 14 ™ 8 Very young man, and, as you sre an older and more, “*P@r: enced seaman, I throw myself entirely upon your be ‘tr ju¢gmeat for advice, as one sailor will do to another. ” Colonel Gates then proposed to charter the Kilby for the government, and an agreement was drawn up in pencil Capteia Low statiog at the time that he merely wished to protest himself with his owners, Sub- sequently, the reecued offivers, when om board the Kilby, ‘a the cabin—and when Captvin Low was absent in his )catin pursuit of @ ship which was standing to the wes ward, and which be wished to hail for help—said this nc ble captain bas done not hing for himself; and they | proceede. tereduce the original agreement to writing, with ink, altering it of their own accord, so as to insert as five per cent primage upon theeharter, and one thou- sand dollars fcr Captain Low. This was done entirsly without his knowledge, as would be shown by a letter he | (Mr. Aspinwall) had now with him, and would hand to the Chairman, Mr Trzstoy then read the followirg letter:— : Carrain Freewonr, Quartermaster 34 Regt.

Mr, TitkeTow stated that the Committee had had some conversation with Ball, Black & Oo., about the selecting of the silver pitchers, and the mauufasture of the me- dals to be preeented to the captains aoc men. Mr, Bower said that upon an cecasion of this sort no ordinary piece of plate should be purchased, but that it should be expressly manufacturad. ‘Mr. Cunxamp was of ths same opinion, and also that great taute should be chown ia the selection of appropri- ) i | | ate devices aud scrolls. Mr Ocpen moved that Mr. Brower and Mr. Cunard be added to the Committee on Medals, 4c, which was car- ried; when the meeting adjourned, In addition to the above, the following letter from Cap- tain Fremont has handed to us by a gentleman who takes a lively interest in Capt. Low, of the bark Kilby. The letter speaks for itself:— New York, Jaa, 19, 1854. Carr. E. T. Low or ras Bark Kitby:— = Sir—I take pleasure in bearing testimony to your noble and disinterested conduct in rescuing us from the wreck of the steamer San F: .

I authorized Captain Watkins, when he boarded your vessel, to offer you any inducement that money ould give to save us, and he, as I learn, offered you fifieen thousand collars, without any suggestion or requeet on your part, and to pay for car m overboard. this inducement made jause we had been so much deotived by the vessels that bad come near us. They bad promised to remain, but soon abandoned us. I said to Captain Watkins, “If necossary, bay the ship and cargo.

[From the Boston Courier, Jan. 19 } The merchants held s meeting at the Exchange, yester- day, for the purpose of taking measures to express in some way their gratitude to the commanders of the bark ‘Kil- by,’ and the sbips ‘Three Bells,” and “‘antarotic.”’ The mecting, which was largely attended, was called to orier by J. Thomas Stevenson, Haq. and organised by the choice of Captain Robert B, Forbes as Chairman, and A, A. Fra- ver an Secretary. “se Captain Forbes addressed the meeting as follows :— Gentiemen—I am much obliged for the honor you do me, in calling me to the cbair on this cocasion, and I have only to regret that my ‘eelinga are so deeply interested in the sakjocs ofthe looear tie Gan Francien, aan the ex citing incidents connected therewith, that I cannot say all Tcould desire—tut I am aware that it requires no elo- quence io enlist your sy opathies for the brava men who vo sucessfully accomplished the rescue of so many of her pastepgers and crew. Among #0 many deserving the highest prai-e, it is difficult to dissriminate; yet there must be discrimination, and what we do ought to bs done warmly from our hearts, but csolly by the eons deliberations of our hesds. The cap teips of the Three B-lls, the Kiby, and the An- arctic, all did their duty like men, end all deserve come notice at our hands. The question is, what that notice thall be, and how shall it be conveyed to them? It is not necessary for us to take any action on all the brave men who cid their duty on this occasion, for we should have an endless tark ; therefore I recommend that our doings shall be confined to the commanders of the three vessels, whe wore eo fortunate as to take off the passengers and crew of the steamship.

New York, Jan. 19, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. Sir—Observing in several of the New York daily papers various ttatemeats and opinions in reference to the com- traction of our ocean steamers and packet ships, I take the liberty, for the ratisfaction and gratification of those persons partially acquainted with their proportions, to annex a table elucidating the relative depth, breadth, and draught of water when loaded, and the height of the upper Cook from the water, The steamers I introluce are all first class vessels, built with solid bottoms or floor tim- bers, and diagonally iron braced. The San Frarclsoo, moreover, in addition to this, has a double irom diagonal bracieg on each side of the engines and boilers, extend: ing nearly the length of the ship, and up to the main deck from the keelson, and has been more fully explained by Mr Wm. H. Webb, her builder. You will observe by the annexed table that the San Francisco drew less water for her tonnage than either of these steamers, and that her spar or upper deck was équaliy as high above the | water, Iwill also call your attention to the Liverpool ‘and London packet ships; althoug” mot extra fastened | with irom disgonsl bracing, have about the dame ;70por- | tion of beam to their depth aa the steamers. Although they carry «normous masts and saila, yot these ships, re- | turning from Liverpool, are obliged, under the English | passenger act, to carry all their homeward cargo and ,"tores in the lower hold, increasing their stability to such “an ¢stent, that they labor and strain considerably more than they would under similar circumstances with leas beam. Should one of these ships furl all sails in a rough nea the .Uaste would roll out of her, Why? Because she | Fula be'boo stiff, and require the sotion or leverage of the wind amc’ ails to steady her. As steamers are to be balanced witho.at sails, they require less stability or lee beam; and the reason why we give them proportionally more beam is, theit having long sharp ends, and using the coal fiom the bwld. The need of this latter precau- tion is, however, only felt at the laiter part of the voynge. It is found from practice and experionee that the best beam or width of vessels, to make them good sea boats in proportion to their depth, varies from one-half to two- | thirds the depth for the beam, and that narrow vessels | will be, whem heavily laden, much easier than the shallow and wide vessel with the same description of cargo:— yy ° z 9 9 z ?
