The New York Commercial OF Friday morning says,

They "pedge tLemte yes in the most solemn manner,
that ould another attempt he made 10 arrest another
individual to shield such person from arrest, and to
rescue him from The demon who may pretend to hold
him in custody" This doris not look like reinqushng
their proceedings altogether. Mr.. Webster docs not
see the extent Of the danger. MIR. Brown, who had
been TO Washington and conyerscd with the President,
addressed this Mass Meeting, and declared that "he
said that he hoped there would be lighting, but that
he had rather The streets blood than to see the
old Charter longer predominant.

The District Clause.

We recommend TO readers the able and interest
ing Speech Of ilr. Floyd of New York, against the
District Clause of the Apporonment Bill before
the Senate. The bill has been reported back from the
Judiciary Committee, amended as 10 run as follows
"And the Election in such State shall under the laws thereof
be by Dstrcts-such Districts shall be composed CONT
cmOs Territory aud each shall contain Representative popga
ton, equal the number which, by The existing rao shall be
qnred Tor nemhc as nearly may be- aud District
Thus we go the Federal Government continuing
10 mix Itself up like the Frogs Of Egypt, with the
business of the People and of the Sates-now passing
retrospective law interfering with the relations be.
tween debtor and credtor-then, law meddling with
the relations between Constituents and Representa-
tves-and then, law regulating the employment, in.
duslry and manufactures ofindvduas, &c.-and ne
the Federal Executive is interfering with the Rights of
State TO frame her Constitution Is there to be
no mi, to the meddlescme interference Of this limited
Government, with specified powers?
This District clause is one Of the most alarming in
noyatons of ALL If Congress had the right now CLAIM
ed for it, why did Mr.. NlcDufie, some years ago. pro
pose ali amendment 10 the Constitution, giving Con-
gross the very power IN question? That amendment
debated for tme and before the Legislatures
of several of the Slates-We trust that it will still be
arresrdfrst, by the good of the Senatc-and if
that fails, then by the veto of the President. letter
from Washington, in the Charleston Courier, gives the
following information upon the matter
"Mr. Calhoun, understand, will oppose the district
system. In fact it will meet with serious opposition
bill come back to it, there would be
Senate amendment, striking out this provso! The
amendment in question passed the committee Of the
whole House by majority Of only three. II was then
agreed to by the House. by majority of only tco and
this in the absence Of tortytaco members. Moreover,
it has since been ascertaned that majority of the
absenees would have voted against 1t. Again, some
of those who at first in favor of it, many turn
against it-and i, cannot gain any friends. The
chief and potent argument against the provision is
simply this: That it asserts the power of Congress
10 fix Uniform mode of choosing representatives;
that if Congress has tie power to fix the district
system they have the power to fix the general Hcket
system; and that when they adopt the general ticket
system, viii be in the power Of FIVE of the large
Western States 10 control the other twenty States
to usurp the whole government of the Union-to ty-
rannze the smaller States and the Southern States
TO interfere as they please with the peculiar nstu-
tons and interests OF the Sou,h-in fne TO break up
the Union 1t is thought safer, by many therefore, TO
resist construction of the Constitution that necessarily
gives TO The larger States power SO tremendous and
that the trainers ohe Constitution could have
contemplated"
