RELLI-We announced, some short time ago, the
arrival OF these delightful artists In the steamer
Cambria. We learn that they will both perform at
Washington city on the 18th Instant This will
afford an opportunity to citizens gathered together
in that metropolis, from all parts OF the Union, to
hear an artist who holds a high reputation IN
Europe for power Of voice and charm of singing.
Coreli is also artist of superior talent. There can
be no doubt but that these two artists will find at
Washington city reception and patronage as
brilliant as that which we hear she lately met with
at Pans, and which will only be in harmony with
her unquestioned and extraordinary talent.

| The Vermont Legislature has passed reso-
Iutions instructing her Senators and request
ing her Representatives "to exert their eff
forts " for the passage Of a law abolishing
slavery in tie District of Columbia another
resolution in favor Of removing the scat Of
Government, unless slavery be abolished
here; and resolutions against the extension
OF slavery.
TAPERING.-The Legislature of South
Carolina, after debating all sorts of resoln-
tons, finally tapered down with the fol-
lowing
Resolved That the time for discussion
by the slaveholding States, as TO their OK
cuson from the Territory recently acquir-
Led from Mexico, has passed; and that This
General Assembly, representing the feeling
of the People of the State, is prepared 10 CO.
operate with her sister States in resisting the
application of the principles Of the Wilmot
Proviso 10 such Territory, at any and every
hazard.
LAKE SUPERIOR LANDs.-The General
Land Office report says the sale of lands in
the Copper District, on Lake SUPERIOR has

The amount sold is 2,0I6 acres at So, and
6,494 under lease at $3.50 per acre; amount
ing TO $26,242. The leasing system is
represented as injurious, and further facili-
ties for The sales of the lands recommended.
He is for putting them at 81 20 per acre

The amicable relations which were in
terrupted between our government and an
adjacent republic have been restored, and
we may now congratulate ourcommon coun-
try THAI we are at peace with all The world.
While we rejoice over the happy condition
of our foreign intercourse, the existing ques-
ton that has grown out Of the acqDisItlon OF
territory in the treaty with Mexico, should
not be overlooked, and should be approach
ed in a spirit of harmony and compromise.
The SENTIMENTS of the Legislature of this
State were expressed on the question Of the
extention of the institution of slavery over
the recently acquired territories, at its last
session, in resolutions instfucting our repre-
sentatives in both houses Of Congress To
act against such exlehtion. 1t is believed
that these sentiments corresT ond with the
views of Sire great body Of the people and
all constitutional mealfs shouhi be used ~
restrict the further progress of this great
social political evil.
Exciting and threatening as this question
Is in many portions of the Union, conf
deBtly believe that the patriotic spirit Of
the people, which has at all times proved
foreign or domestic character, will Gispef tire
darkness thrown over our political horizon
and show the Union sliH united and indi-
vlsabe. The growing greatness ol our
whole country is becoming more apparent
and its energy and enterprise more maniles!
aud the fact is being rapidly Illustrated, tFa1
1t is in truth the model Republic.
The facilities With which Information can
be transmitted, have increased almost in.
credibly; already the electric wires Of in.
telligence have, by the enterprise and cncr.
gy ofour people, reached the Capitol oI

Our State government has gone into sue
cessful operation, ant its organization has
acfdsd another link to the great chain of Y
perthental proof, demonstrating the truth
that the people are capable Of self.goyern-
ment.
The 20,000,00 of people, quietly assem-
bling i'll their respective precincts on the
same day, and there determining their Ma
ttonai and in many cases their local govern
Il1ent for a period of years TO come presents

briefly as due regard 10 the interests Of The

such measures as in my opinion will pro-
mote its welfare.
My duty under the Constitution is per
formed, and leave the great interests of lhC

address was advocated by Messrs. Cal

flying the address were made by Mcssrs.

posed on scIcral grounds--onc that it as
scrts that organized bodies OF men existed
through the States, reaching into Canada,
to aid slaves in escaping from service--thc
proof of this position was wanting. Mr..
Too1bs would not sanction this address,
rs he had taken opposite grounds at tie
last session Of Congress. Another reason
for opposing the address was that ii offered
no definite chart for action, but left all 10
risk to the future. The address was fiual-
