The ALARMING PRooREss OF ADOLF

The ALARMING PRooREss OF AporI
TIoN.--ln our Congressional summary Of
last week, we neglected to state, tina, the
House Of Representatives, on the Sth inst.
rescnded their 2lst rule, which prohibited
the reference, discussion, or reception of
Abolition petitions.
This action of the extra session Of Con
gress, by which so much was to be done
for the general veal Of the country, aims
fatal blow at the south; and may well
awaken in the bosom of all southerners.
the most alarming and anxious auprehen.
sons Cor the safety of their institutions.
The door is now wide open to that hell
born ianallcism, on the subject OF human
liberty, which has breahed the shirt Of
diScort into the great family of States that
have long chanted in sisterly unison, the
praises of freedo m and our constitution
and which seems determined to accom-
pIish It's purposes, even though it cost the
destruction Of the Union, aud deluge the
south with human blood. ~.
A few years since, the Abolition party
IN this country, consisted only OF few
religious fanatics and designing politicians
denounced universally, as enemies to
the well being Of their country. But by
untirng exerlions and secret Vaccinations
their power has increased with startling
rapidly; and having finally succeeded in
uniting their Gestinies with numerous
political factions, they have gained pos
session of our national legislature, and
broken down The South's last bulwark OF
defence against their mad schemes, which
a democratic Congress had thrown around
it. Hencelorth, the table Of Congress will
groan beneath the weight of incendary
abolition petitions, and our mails will be
crowded with the iuflamatory harrangues
Of their advocates. . ..........
Debate on the repeal of this rule,
so salutary TO the South, was stifled by
calls for the previous question; in conse-
quence Of which, Mr. lngersoIl voted IN
the affirmative with a view to move a
reconsideration Of the question, that he
might have an opportunity of stating at
length his views in relation to the danger
Gus consequences of the repeal.
On the 9th Mr.. lngersolI made his
motion, which, after lengthy and excl.
ting debate, was lost by the following vote

SIGNS OF THE TImEs.-An observing
and intelligent friend, who has recently
travelled through much of the Northern
portion of the State, informs us, that in
that quarter, daily accessions are boing
made to the Anti. Bond party; and he
assures us that north Mississippi, will
decide by large majority, that there is
no obligation resting on the State, to pay
the bonds sold for the Union Bank.
On the Oath ut., large number OF the
citizens of Choctaw county, opposed 10
the payment of said Bonds, by the people,
convened at Greensborough, and nomina.
