'ovroed the Union, and as such is a ma
niFest breach of faith, and violation of
le most solemn obligations, moral and
religious. i
ResoEved, That the intermcddling OF
any State or States or their citizens, to
abolish slavery in this District, or any
ofthe territories, on the ground, or un-
der the pretext, that it is immoral or
sinful, or the passage ofany act or mea-
sure Of Congress, with thatview would
be a direct and dangerous attack on the
institutions Of all the SlavcholdlDg
States.
Resolved, That the Union of these
States rests on an equality Of rights
and advantages among its members:
and that whatever destroys that equll-
ity, tends to destroy the Union itself !;
and that it is the solemn duty ofall, and
more especially Of this body, which re-
presents the States Ill their corporate
capacity, to resist all attempts to dis
criminate between the States in ex-
tending the benefits of the government
to the several portions of the Union;
and that to refuse to extend to the
Southern and Western States any adj
vantage which would tend to strength
en- or render them more secure, or m
crease their limits of population by the
annexation Of new territory or States
on the assumption or under the pretext
that the institution of slavery, as it ex-
lists among them, IS immoral or sinful
or otherwise obnoxious, would be con-
trary to that equality of rights and adj
vantages which the constitution was in
tended to secure alike to all the mem
bcrs of the Union, and would in effect,
disfrancmse the slaveholding States,
withholding from them the advantages,
while it subjected them to the burthens
of the Government.

Correspondence Of the Baltimore american
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.
CANADIAN AFFAIRS.

The Message and accompanying docu-
ments reported to the House yesterday
came before the Senate to-day. Being
read, Mr.. Clay OF Ky. rose in his place and
commented severely on the conduct Of
those who committed the outrage upon the
Caroline. The act he said, demanded am
pie redress. The national dignity reouir.
ed that the outrage should be immediately
recognized as an outrage against the ma
ton, and as such should be treated bv the
Government.
Mr.. Calhoun was opposed to discussion.
and was inclined to throw cold water on
the recent outrage on the Caroline. He
was anxious to check all undue excitement.
and for hearing the other side of the ques-
ton, before he gave even his opinion on
the question. In regard to the act. he was
IN favor of pacific measures-pacific rela-
lions. He could even find in his mind
some apology for the attack upon the Car
olIne, and IN order to make the apolorv as
strong as possible, he reasoned the case bv
placing the U. S. in the attitude ofCanad3
and Canada in the attitude of the II 8
and asked if we had been the aggressorq.
should we have been as ready to Condemn
the act. He thought not.
Mr.. Clay followed in reply to Mr.. Cal.
houn. The Senator from S. G.. be so;I
had right to his own opinion. and no aIso
certainly had right to his. He wac
{ content to believe that the evidence before
nm was correct, and he therefore looked
upon the outrage as full of atrocitv and II
justice, and one which called for imnoJ;-
ATE redress. He thought no APOLOGY COLL

CANADA.-Under this head the last Ar
gus speaking of the reported attack on Buff
falo, has the following remark.

more American. Will Mr.. Van Buren,,
think it ''expedient" to demand redress of
Queen Victoria for thus devasting ono of
the finest cities IN his native State?''
Yes, we pledge ourselves that he viii. If
the reported attack on Buffalo, (Which VIC
believe to be all a hoax) should prove to be
true, Mr.. Van Buren, will speak in a tone
which will be heard and felt across the At
lantic.-Dcmocrdt.
the attack on Buffalo proves to be un-
founded;-but it is fact that the British
have landed on Grand Island, between
Buffalo and the Canada line. That Mr..
Van Buren, will speak in tone that will be
heard across the Atlantic, there is no doubt,
for he, through his Secretary, Mr. Forsyth,
has been making freak, lamc, unidentified,
and ts'.fae't-is'aic. apologies to Mr.. Fox. the
British Minister, because American citizens
voluntarily expatriated themselves to assist
the Patriots in Canada, so it seems, if we
can place any reliance in the printed
speeches ofmembcrs ofCongrcss.

week relative to the probable report of the
Committee of Elections in favor of Prentiss

Northern paper, the name ofwhich we now

be more official than our own, as we rare
