Dec 3O.-The Senate, this morning, receiv-
ed from Mr.. Sewer, Of Arkansas, the official an
nouncemeut of the death of his colleague, Sena-
tor Fulton, and then adjourned Mr. f. died
during the vacation, and his place is already sup
piled by the appointment of Col. Ashley.
USE OF NATIONAL PRsoNs.-Dming the late
campaign, Mr. George Waterston, of this city,
Wing, issued a circular calculated to convey
the impression, that the slave dealers here were
exclusively Polk men and when it came out
that Williams, the principal Of them, is Clay
man, and regularly advertised in the Inteligcn-
Ger, while the Globe refused his advertisement,
the said advertisement disappeared from the col
umns Of the lnteligencer; and for a considera-
bic time have not seen single slave advertise
ment, not even for runaway slaves. But to-day,
| find the following advertisement, which not on
ly shows that the moral influence to which the
Wings yielded while they were counting votes,
has produced no radical reformation, but is in
structiye also in regard to the use the national
prisons for slave purposes not required by law
a matter that has been denied by ignorant or
reckless politicians at the North, Of both parties

Dec. 3l.-NIr Haywood Of N. C. gave notice
in the Senate that he should, on Thursday, move
Joint resolution for the remuneration Of Texas,
understood to be the same plan with that offered
in the House by MIR. Douglass.
In the House, Mr.. J. r. Ingerso Of Pa, in
quired when the debate on Texas was to come
on. We have had several days set for it, said
he-last Thursday, last Monday, and last Mon
day week-and they have all come and gone, but
Texas has not yet come, and now we hear no in
timations when it is to come, or if it is to come
at ALL
Mr. Hanmett, of Miss, would assure the gen
tleman that in very few days they would see the
Texas debate hot and heavy.
Mr.. Ingersol Let it come, then--we are
ready for it-let it come. | will say as the lord
mayor Of London said when they took him out,
with his sword of state to hunt the hare, and one
Of the gentlemen rode up and informed him the
hare was coming, when his lordship drew forth
his ponderous sword and exclaimed-"In Gods
name, let him comeW (Roars oflaughter.) |
think sir, it will come about the time of the
Greek Kalends; somewhere in the indefinite fl-
ture When we see it, we are ready too meet it,
but | think it will now go quietly to sleep, and
leave to a future administration all the response
bility and all the glory.
TExAs-The Charleston Mercury's cores
pondent here says the Democratic members o
the North are becomidg apparently quite indiAer
ent about Texas. Alas that it is so.
The Globe of this morning has an article pro
posing to leap over all proyisoes and oil obsta
Giles, at jump, by passing an act in the following
words:
Resolved, Texas assenting,) That it be ant
it is hereby rs-annexed to the United States"
1t says this would necessarily draw with it the
stipulations of the Louisiana treaty. and of the
Missouri compromise, (36 deg. 30 min. N. lat,
and the land laws, and make our government re-
sponsble for the debts The latter will, think
be the inevitable consequence of any plan of an
nexaton, however carefully guarded, unless W.
should conclude to rid ourselves of the incum
brances at once, of debt and honor, by repudia
ton How much does Texas owe and wht
wants to pay it,
JANUARY 2.--The L" Constitution" daily pa
per, the Calhoun oracle in this city, has no
tice of a proposal for our Anti-Slayery Conyen
ton, to be held in the capitol on the first o
March. From the extreme awllwardness of tn
language, think it was not written by the edito
himself, although it stands as editorial. 1t says
$50 this is the result Of quiet acquiescenc
in the repeal of the 25th rule, which ha
only been established as matter Of selEdefcncC
and for the purpose keeping out ofCongress
question, the discussion of which could only ten
to excite and infringe upon the outraged right
and feelings Of the South 1t was insisted, how
ever, that the rule, though set up to protect tn
rights of property, in its operation violated tn
important right of petition. This party inslstin
that their object was not to interfere with tn
rights Of the South, but to protect right whic
they said had been inlringed. Tired of the hate
full strife, the South at last yielded quietly to
repeal of the rule What is the result RI
ncwed and more disturbing efforts upon tn
deeply interesting and exciting subject. We ha'
it in the propositions quoted above, and the OIL
jects and purposes Of grand Abolition Conycl
ton to be held i'll Washington, on the LIST
March next. Nay, they are determined to ho
that convention in the hall of the House of Re
resentatives, or at any rate, in epublic grount
near the capitol. 1t is with difficulty that v
can repress our feelings! 1t is hard to stop ii
pen from tracing the burning thoughts that rus
to the mind But, we will only say, that SUE
a convention as that proposed will not be he
in the city of Washington !"
