CONCLUSION.

And now, fellow eit'sins, I cannot bling this commu-
nication to a close without invoking you to join me in
humble and devout thanks to the Great Ruler of nations,
for the multiplied blessings which He has graciously be-
stowed upon us. His hand, so often visible in our pre-
servation, has stayed the pestilence, saved us from
foreign wars and domestic disturbances, and scattered
plenty throughout the land.
Our liberties, religious and civil, have been maintained,
the fountains of knowledge have all been kept open, and
means of happiness widely spread and generally enjoyed,
greater than have fallen to the lot of any other nation.
And, while deeply penetrated with gratitude for the past,
let us hope that His all-wise Providence will so guide
oar councils, as that they shall result in giving satisfac-
tion to our constituents, securing the peace of the
country, and addiDg new strength to the united govern-
ment under which we live.

We learn from South Carolina that the Legislature
had resolutions under discussion, declaring their
determination not to elect United States' Senators to
fill vacancies, and instructing Senator Butler, and
the representatives of the State, not to take their
seats in Congress ; also, a resolution instructing a
committee to report a Bill of non-intercourse with
all States that throw obstacles in the way of the
enforcement of the Fugitive Slave-law ; and another,
with a long preamble of grievances, declaring that,
in the judgment of the Legislature, secession was the
proper remedy, and that South Carolina, sooner
than submit to the aggressions of the Federal Con-
gress, will interpose her own sovereignty to shield
her citisens from future outrages and wrongs at every
December 2, 1850. I hazard.

The Governor of Virginia, in his message to the
Legislature, says—
" Virginia, and I think, all the slave-holding States,
can end ought calmly, but explicitly, declare that the
repeal of the Fugitive Slave-law, or any essential modi-
fication of it, is a mutual repeal of the Union. The faith-
ful execution of this law is, in my judgment, the only
means now left by which the Union can be preserved
with honour to ourselves and peace to the country."
He also says—
" That a declaration on the part (if the South will
give strength and great moral weight to the Conserva-
tive patriots of the North, now struggling fir the con-
stitution and for the supremacy of the law; who are, in
truth, fighting the battle of the Union. There were never
more important trusts committed to the hands of any
man. Their triumph is the victory of order over anarchy,
of peace over bloodshed and fir.. Their defeat is the
knell of the Union, for if the fanatics of the North come
into the halls of Congress with power to control the
action of it, a few years only will elapse before they
throw away every appearance of restraint, and abolish
slavery in the States—with the alternative presented to
us of submitting to the action or to a dissolution of the
Union. There could not be one voice of the many thou-
sands who would not shed their blood, surely, after the
sacrifices the South has made, but would say that it is
but asking little when she demands of Congress to be
faithful to the pledges it has given, and of the non-slave-
holding States to abide by the constitution of the country
and the laws made declaratory of its obligations."
♦deices from St. Domingo City to Novmber 2d,
state that through the intervention of the English and
Americans a treaty of peace has been concluded be-
tween the Dominicans and Haytiens. There had been
some brisk fighting between the contending parties
previous to the arrangements, but no serious losses on
either side. An English man-of-war was in the port
during the negotiation of the treaty.
The remaining prisoners connected with the Cuban
expedition have been released.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, DEC. 4.

•
EXCHANGE.—We have to report a large business in
sterling, French and Bremen bills, but little on the other
places for want of drawers; prices ranged low in the
beginning, but clused firm at our highest quotations.
The principal sales which have taken place were—on
Londan, at 91- to 9i per cent. premium; Paris, sf. 181 c.
to sf. 20c.; Antwerp, sf. 18c. to sf. 20c.; Amsterdam,
41 to 411; Hamburgh, 361 to 361; and Bremen, 79ic.
to 79ic.
Cotton—Since the departure of the last steamer the
market has declined about one quarter of a cent, conse-
quent upon the unexpectedly unfavourable advises from
abroad, per Europa. Since our last, there has been but
little spirit exhibited in the buying, but we have no
further change to note in prices. The receipts of cotton
at all the shipping ports are 454,481 bales, against
501,460 to the same dates last year—a decrease this sea-
son of 46,979 bales. The total foreign export this
year is 89,243 bales more than last, say 69,953 bales
increase to Great Britain, 14,063 increase to France,
3,896 increase to the North of Europe, and 1,331 in-
crease to other foreign ports. The shipment from south-
ern to northern ports are 31,827 bales less this season
than last; and there is a decrease in stock of 79,422 bales.
The sales for the week ended the 30th ult. were 4,200
bales; and since, 3,ooo—as follows:

orders, the sales are for home use at 61e. to 62c. for new
northern round, and 66c. for new southern flat. Old is
nominal at 70c. for round yellow, and 66c. to 68c. for
Western mixed.
Tobacco-The market for Kentucky, owing to the ad-
vanced state of the season, the accounts from abroad, and
the ruling high prices, though firm, has become inactive,
with more disposition to sell than buy. The sales include
100 hogsheads Kentucky, at 94c. to lOic.; 50 bales Ha-
vannah, 45c.; 44 cases Florida, 20c. to 40c., four months;
355 bales Segue, 80 Mayaree, 31 Havannah, 275 Ba-
racoa, and 72 St. Jago on terms we did not learn. Be-
sides the above, there has been a sweeping movement in
seed leaf, the whole crop of the country having been
bought up on speculation by parties here and in Phila-
delphia, consisting of 3,000 cases Connecticut, 2,500 Pen-
sylvania, 2,000 Ohio, and 1,000 this state. Higher
prices are of course now asked, but the market is for the
time being unsettled. Manufactured remains quiet but
firm. The importations for the month of November
were-1,596 bales Havannah, 1,510 ditto Cuba, 516 ditto
St. Domingo, 200 ditto Yara, 172 ditto Costa Rica,
1,046 cases Florida, and about 500 ditto seed leaf.
The stock in the inspection warehouse on the let
instant (in first and second hands) consisted of 5,460
hogsheads Kentucky, 640 Virginia and North Caro-
lina, 6 Ohio, and 5 Maryland; together, 6,111 hogs-
heads, being 406 less than on the Ist ult. The
stock besides consists of 1,740 bales Cuba, 2,073 ditto
Havannah, 1,491 ditto St. Domingo, 200 ditto Yara,
172 ditto Costa Rica, and 200 cases Connecticut. Total
import from the Ist of January to the Ist of December,
1850, 15,099 hogsheads 23,284 bales; same time last
year, 11,694 hogsheads 17,490 bales.
