CENT CONVENTION IN FANEUIL HALL.-We have
given our readers tul! and graphic report Of the
sayings and dongs at the recent remark able Anti
Slavery and Anti-Texas Convention in Faneull
Hall, Boston II appears to have been congrega-
ton Of "back spirits and white" of all sorts and
sizes, actuated by various impulses and strange
ideas, but all uniting in one universal sentiment of
bitter and unrelenting hostility TO the Southern in
sttution, and the existing social condition of that
portion of the confederacy There is great deal
OF talk and bluster and bravado and abuse, in the
Norihere prints, respecting the conduct of the nul
liners OF South Carolina-the chivalry of Quatile-
bum-and the disunionists OF that part of the coun-
try. No doubt under the bright sun of the South,
men in Carolina, who are suffering from the mi
quites of unequal taxation, and unequal laws, will
occasionally express their feelings with some exag
geration and violence, but these expressions are
not By any means to be taken literally There is
no quarter oi the Union, in which more devoted
spirit OF loyalty to the republic exists than in the
South-nowhere else would the hostile attempts Of
foe be more promptly and energetically met
This every one must acknowledge
Such is lhe passing sentiment OF disunion or nu
LITIGATION as developed in the South; bui what is it
IN FAME ul Hall? There it assumes much dark
er hue, and far more dangerous character. We
see in the recent convention there the develop
ment Of sentiments and principles, in the first
birth, which, in process OF time, If not checked by
the good sense of the Union, will destroys our
whole social fabric Look at the resolution pro
posed by Garnsen-a resolution equivalent TO a
dissolution of that fair fabric, which we call the
glorious Union, Look at every sentiment and
every principle and every purpose developed by
those speakers, breathing throughout degree OF
ierceness and hostility 10 the social institutions oi
the South, increased by the very ignorance which
they discover regarding the nature and character
of these institutions, which leaves all the mere
vaporing about dsunion in the South, immeasu-
rably behind.
But the most dangerous feature Of the whole OF
that Convention, is developed in the declaration
made by Mr. F. Adams, the SON of John Quincy
A Aiams, who is represented as having recommend
ed that the gquesion Of Slavery should be intro
duced into all future political contests, and particu
ary in the free States, as to divide them on that
issue and destroy the present organization OF par
ties. Such purpose, if carried out, would as GER
tan.y lead to the destruction of the Union as the
laws Of nature produce their nvarable results. For
some singular movement Of this kind-the destruc-
on of the present arrangements of parties and their
reconstruction on the principles of the Abolition
sts-we have indeed been pr pared, as well by the
speeches of Mr. Webster and John G. Adams as
by the proceedings and declarations OF the present
Convention. The Abolition party, numbering at
he last election in the free States 81 900 voters
will form the nucleus, no doubt, of new organi-
cation Of the Wing forces in the North, with this
broad principle of action-the destruction Of Slave
~ al The South by the legislation Of Congress W.
will see how this movement will be followed up
both by the Whg party and the Abolltionlss In the
tree States-we will see what may be the future
course of John Qaney Adams and Daniel Webster
ia Congress, for it is very evident that there is
general attempt now in contemplation to form
union between the Aboltionists and the Wings, for
the purpose of regulating the policy of the Union
and defeating the Democracy all future contests
DANGER AHEaD.-Even the National Inteli
gencer of Washington, appears to be alarmed
at the present aspect OF our foreign relations,
now menaced by the progress OF the Oregon
and Texas questions in both Houses of Con.
gress. This alarm is beginning to pervade many
other minds, besides those of the editors of TIE
InteHigencer. But we do not apprehend any I'M
mediate war either with Mexico or England, should
both these measures pass the present Congress-
Mexico has enough to do within her own limits,
torn as she is by contending factions, which de-
stroy her energy and power In regard to England,
have bond of indemnity on her good beha-
vor in the shape of animal imports and exports to
the amount of nearly sixty millions of dollars
sudden interruption of the commercial relations
between the United States and England, or the
stoppage of the cotton supplies furnished by to
the British manufactures would most seriously
danger the domestic peace of that kingdom, rem
dering it still more difficult to manage than Ireland
We thus possess in the cotton trade power over
England that keeps her in peaceful relations
whether she will or not.
ANXIETY FOR THE ABSENT PACKETS. There is
great deal of anxiety now felt for the safety Of
the packet ships United States and England. They
have been at sea over two months, and sailed from
England IN time to be in the terrible gale of the
Ilth and 18th of December, which caused so much
devastation from extremity Of the Atlantic to
