The South has finally resolved itself
into Committee of FIVE, consisting OF
Mr.. Calhoun, of S. c.; Clayton, Of Del
aware; King, of Alabama; Morehead, oil
Kentucky, aud BayIey, of Virginia, to de-
eide upon what action it shall take in rel
erence to the question of Slavery as it is.
and as it is to be. Mr.. Calhoun is chair
man, and will prepare the manifesto, upon
which it is expected to rally the Leglsla'
lures of the Southern States during their
present session. The ground Mr.. c. will
take in reference TO the territories, the
District of Columbia, and the institution
at large, can only be conjectured. Ultra
as he is, he is the ablest man by odds to
get the South into dilemma, and to bat
tie for her when there. The period OF
collision is at hand, and wo be unto the
freeman who faliers. The people OF the
South, with the exception Of Shareholders
will never sustain Mr.. Calhoun in any dis
union proposition. They know the IN
terests and the necessities of the Soutn'
and the benefit Of the federal compact
too well for that.

The high consideration in which the talents and
requirements of the distinguished Representa-

respect he commands for our State and the infiu-

On the subject of changes and removals of For

We have not heard the names of any one men

who, If he will consent to 60 abroad, is fully quail
flied to fill the place of Minister to the Central
Government Of Germany, if that body should
continue its existence. That man is Hon. GEO.
z. MARSH, of Vermont
Mr.. Marsh, it is well known, is one of the most
distinguished scholars in our country. He is IA

tory of every European State, except Turkey.

We have had another day Of excitement

House had adopted Mr.. Colts resolution
instructing the Committee of Ways and

Mr.. GREELEY obtained the floor at the
outset to oppose the reconsideration, but
the Speaker, on reflection. yielded it to

up the subject, and who, after brief and
frequently interrupted speech, moved that
the motion to reconsider do lie on the ta>

modify if not recede from Mr. Colts res
nlution. Mr.. CHAPMAN next obtained the
floor, and mlde speech in favor of the
reconsideration, denouncing the Pream-
