The Convention met at New-Londont on
Tuesday, 18th inst, at 3 p. M and or
ganized by the choice of John Cookson,
of Middletown, President, and w. Palm

and Committees had assembled in the
morning and transacted official business.
The number of ministers, members OF the
Convention, was about fifty, and among
the visiting brethren were Messrs. Ben

Maclay OF the Bible Society; Thresher

Rockwell OF the New-EngIand Baptist
S. S. Union and Murphy of the Home
Mission. ~..-.s 49,
The afternoon was spent in organizing
and other preliminary business, and 10
the evening Br. B. Cook preached on the
duty of con:ending for the faith once de-
livereG to the saints. He divided the sub
iect into three branches; first sketch of
the essentials; second manner of con-
tending for these thirdly reasons for
this duty.
On Wednesday morning the Conven-
ton resolved itself into a committee on
ministerial education /; Br. G.. Robbins,
of Hartford, was called to the Chair, and
Br. H. Wooster, Secretary. Addresses
were made by Messrs. Thresher, Cook,
Malcolm, Bennett, TurnbuH and Smaller,

address. The subjects of temperance,

The next stride that slavery made over
the Constitution was in the admission Of
the State of Louisiana into the Union
She could claim no favor as part of an
Original State" Atthis point, it might
have been supposed the friends Of freedom
and of the Constitution, according to its O.
riginal intent, would have made stand,
But no: with the exception of Massachu-
sets, they heSitated and were persuaded to
acquiesce, because the country was just a
bout entering into a war with Eng Gland,
and the time was unpropitious for discuss
ing questions that would create divisions
bet~e different sections of the Union 49,
We must wait till the country was at
peace. Thus it was that Louisiana was
admitted without controversy.

accommodation chiefly, negotiation was
set on foot by the government to pur-
chase it.
Missouri was next in order IN 1891
She could plead no privilege, on the score
of being part of one of the Original States !;
the country too, was relieved from the
pressure of her late conflict with England ;
it was prosperous and quiet; every thing
seemed propitious. to a calm and dispas-
sionate consideration of the claims of slave
holders to add props to their system, by
admitting indefinitely. new sIave-States to
the Union. Up to this time, the "EvIL"
of slavery had been almost universally ac-
knowledged and deplered by the South,
and its termination (apparently) sincerely
hoped for. . This mana cement of its
friends succeeded in binding the con6ding
*Mr. Clay, in conducting the Missouri comprom-

of Missouri as slave-hoIding State, would atd in
bringing about the termination of slavery. His ar

consequences, the gentleman from Kentucky (Mr.

ceived from the President of the United
States in relation to the execution Of the
treaty of New Echota with the Cherokees,
enclosing the correspondence on the sub.

The documents were read. The Exc.
cutive offers the delegation very liberal
concessions, though not all that they re
qure, on condition that they will assent to
the treaty, and agree TO carry it into effect.
The President offers the Cherokees time

to effect the removal, provided Congress,
at his recommendation, will grant il. He
offers to secure to the tribe perpetual pat.

shall be established over them without their
assent.

SILVER CHANGE

The supply Of nation with money for
change is one of the cares OF Government
and is never neglected where the princi.
pies of political economy are understood,
and where the welfare ofihe community is
considered. All classes Of dealers require
change rich and poor, at home and abroad
travelling or stationary, purchases and
charities every where, and by every
body, change is wanted. In France
aud England this great want has been at
.tended to, and both those countries possess
vast supplies Of. change {; in the United
States it has been sadly neglected, and a
deplorabe deficiency Of change is every
where felt. 1t was not until the revival Of
gold and silver currency was commenced
by General JAcKsoN's administration in
1882, that the business of supplying the
country with silver change was regularly
or systematically began. Before that time
the coinage of twenty. five cent, ten cent,
and five cent pieces was extremely incon-
siderable, and some years neglected Alto
gcther since then this coinage has been
regularly and largely pursued. The fol,
owing tables-the first embracing the four
years Of Mr.. ADAMs's administration the
second---embracing five years under Gen.
eral JAcKsoN's policy-will illustrate this
statement, and show the difference between
the present and former policy on this sub.
iect.

treaty should be executed forthwith Il. e.
to. morrow (the 23d). They stated that the
people in. the states concerned were so
much incensed at the late murders by the
Cherokoes, that they would not assent to
their remaining where they were, and they
would remove them, ifthe government does
not.
Mr.. Webster urged the Senate, to take
the subject into consideration, remarking
that il was the prevailing impression and his
own b lief that wrong had been done to the
Cherokees in this matter.
Mr.. Calhoun said the Secretary of War
was aciuated by good motives. His prop
oslion was wise one. 1t would enable
the government to carry the Treaty into
effect with more facility than they would
do it otherwise. 1t would be difficult to
remove the Indians without their assent and
difficult enough with it. If granting a
reasonable delay, and a few hundred of
thousands of dollars, would reconcile the
Indians to the removal, he thought it would
oe wise aud prudent to do it. The subject
was laid aside for the present. in conse.
quence OF the absence of Mr.. White, Chair
man Of the Committee on Indian affairs.
Senate was chiefly occupied for the
rest of the day in the disposition of District

lecied on the ground that it would delay

Mr.. Boon asked leave to make state
ment on the subject Of his resolution for the
same subject, but the House refused to sus-
pend the rules.
On motion of Mr. Whiitlesey, the House
went into committee of the whole, and took
up the bill for continuing in force the aci
