day, and that it do now adjourn, but the motion did no!
prevail.
The question was then successfully put on both amend
ments, and then on the resolution as amended, all which
were agreed 10 by the House.

ment during the pas, year. and III. amount Of ~cu:npensa-

not only 10 the North, but to every portion of our
country; and reach even the slaves themselves ), . ihe
weight of the argument might be entirely on our siae;
but is it not manifest that the effect OF the argu-
men,s ON the respective sides would be very une?pal IN
their operation upon the minds of our slaves? There
is in every mind a moral attraction for some classes Of
argument and a moral repulsion for others, not al all ae,
pendent upon the actual soundness of the arguments
themselves. Whatever is agreeable to our previous
wishes and inclinalions is eagerly heard and readily Gre
dited, while every thing opposed to DOR p!eJra!c aM or ;a

CASApA.-We publish extracts from the Buffalo pa

steamboat Caroline, together with q correspondence with
Col. McNab. The whole frontier is in i great state Of
excitement at this untoward event, and aPprehensions
are entertained that it may lead TO some act, some de.

and push on open hos,iities. 1t is true that almost from
the first speck of trouble on the frontier every encourage
ment was given 10 our people to take up arms against
Canada, and it IS equally true, that the steamboat Caro-
line was employed in transporting provisions and ammu-
milton 10 the re volutionists on the island. but still she was
in our waters and on our shores when she was destroyed
and our people killed, and this act should be atoned for.

AFFAIRS ON THE CANADA FRONTIER, sc.
Immediately after the reading o. the Journal
MIR. Adams observed, that, on yesterday the Chairman
of the Committee on Foreign Afairs had, by direction of
that committee, presented 4 resolution TO the House on
a question, the urgency of which was such, that it was
believed it ought to be Immediately considered; that MIR.
A. had requested that gentleman 10 waive the presen.a.
ton Of the resolution for q few moments, as he had an
amendment, which he was preparing, and which he de.
sired 10 offer. IL had not been his intention To oppose or
postpone The adoption of the resolution al all. In the
report of what passed, os given in the lntelligencer, there
was q slight error, which lie would reler TO-, not that II
was very material, but, on o subject which was at this
momentcxci,ing great attic ntion in all parts Of The nation,
il was desirable that facts should be stated with the ut.
most precision. The report represented MIR. a. as hay
ing wished the presentation Of the resolution waived be-
cause it would occasion debate; this Mr.. A. had not said,
for it was not his own intention 10 debate the matter at
all. All he had desired was time 10 prepare his amend
ment. He had now that amendment prepared; and, be-
lieving that both the resolution and amendment were OF
very great urgency at this moment, he hoped The House
would now take up the resolution for consideration.
MIR. Whittlescy, of Ohio, inquired Of the chair, what
effect this would have on the business OF The House, Ut.
ter the morning hour should expire?
The Chair stated that the hour allotted by The rules for
reports and resolutions was not reckoned as commence
ing until the call for reports was made: and as that call
had not now been made, the conside ration OF the reso-
luton referred 10 by the gentleman from Massachusetts,
might run through The whole day.
Mr.. Whitlesey then expressed his hope that the gen.
tlenan from Massachusetts would suffer the committees
tirstt to be called on for reports.
MIR. Adams said he could not consent, for his part, TO
delay the consideration of the resolution for one moment;
there was nothing that could come before the House that
would be of more importance.
Mr.. Whittlesey called for The reading of the resolution,
and the amendment which Mr.. Adams proposed to
