an! nc clearly proved that without it
Canada, at no distant dav would either be
independent or annexed 10 the United
States. We have 10 belief in il. we
are nations Of distinct races. Canada has
not advanced for half a century, has a
French population, strongly organized
agans! lhc English, and equiporions of
both nations compose the Canadians
nearly equally divided, catholic and pro-
icstant, without the clements Of cohesion.
The Canadians will speak no English,
and the English will not speak French
II they can avoid it. The Canadians
wish TO have government Of their own,
and no attachment TO the United States {:
and The English party only threaten an.
nexailon as the means Of keeping down
the French. AS long as the Canadians
have their religion, their seignoriul rights,
their parish priests and indoicn, privileges
they want no change. England may
make some concessions, bu, will not pcr.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.


The life of this distinguished statesman,
Mr.. Clay, has been devoted TO the honor
aud service of his country, and all his eff
forts have been directed to that wise and
prosperous system Of public policy, which
is now beginning to dawn upon the Repub-
lie, through the election of Gen. Taylor.
Why then should we entertain any other
than an anxious desire for his success, or be
disposed to yield any other than gener-
Gus and efficient support! The very sus-
picon is an imputation upon the character
of Mr.. Clay, which his course in the SEN
ate will efface, as he has lived down the
ISLANDERS which the same inscriptions enc
mics have hcaped upon his head for TWEEN
~ years. Mr.. Clay has it in his power TO
render important aid TO the new admins
tration, and his friends every where-among
whom claim to be one Of the humblest
and sncerest-confdenty expect the bene-
fit Of his counsel aud the influence Of his
commanding mind.
The statement that the Wings of the
PENNSYLVANIA delegation recommended hlr.
Stewart for the Office Of Secretary or the
Treasury has been reiterated, and under
circumstances which reflect any thing but
credit upon who ever was guilty Of the gross
Impropriety-to say nothing OF an equally
gross violation of truth and confidence-in
putting the original report IN circulation.

Of different individuals were canyassed by

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 29-1, A. nj.
The Southern caucus assembled last eve
ming at the honr designated. The attend
ance was not SO large as on the former occa-
sion, number of the Wings having refused
to be present. The meeting, after being
organized, was opened by the reading of
Mr.. Berrien's address.
This was followed by a spirited and We
hement discussion. Mr.. Mason led off in
opposition 10 the address which he charac-
lterized as petition, and not declaration
OF rights. Mr.. Bayly followed in speech
laudatory of Mr.. Calhoun's manifesto, which
he insisted took the true ground. Mr.. Gem
try coBtended that no action was necessary,
and adduc ID cogent reasons in vindication
of that opinion. Mr.. Foote sustained Mr..
Berrien and the views embodiad in his adj
dress. MIR. Hilliard advocated postpone
ment of the whole subject till after the esd
of February.
At this period Mr.. Stephens introduced a
motion, declaring that it was lnexpedient to
adopt any action. MIR Bedinger and Mr..
Iverson resisted this proposition, and advo-
Gated with great warmth the original address.
In consequence of remark made by Mr..
lverson, Mr. Moorehead inquired of him
whether, in case the Wimot Proviso pre-
vailed he was in favor of dissolution. TO
this question Mr.. lverson answered 60 Yes,''
and his sentiment was warmly applauded by
portion of the Locofocos.
/ Mr.. Rhett regarded the paper presented
by Ar. Berrlen us a mere remonStrance, III
no way adapted to the exigency which ex-
listed. South Carolina, he said, had taken
her ground, and she could not be forced TO
retreat The time for action had come
aud he was prepared to engage in it in
whatever form it might be necessary. The
resolution offered by Mr.. Stephens was laid
on the table. Ayes So, nays 10. Consider
able and very animated discussion followed,
and Mr.. Berrien's address was rejected by
Il vote of ayes 10, nays SO.
MIR. Calhoun's manifesto was then taken
up and adopted-ayes 50, nays 10. On this
final vote but single Wing chr. Gayle, of
Ala.) voted in the affirmative. Many of
the Locofocos refused to vote at all, and
some of them voted nay.

WAsHIEeToY, Jan, "a.
The disunioBists have been laboring to
obtain signatures to Mr.. Calhoun's address,
and before the hour of adjournment they
had succeeded in numbering twenty, between
the two Houses of Congress. But two
Wings have signed, Mr.. Gayle, of Ala, and
Mr.. Tompkins, of Miss. There is a proba-
bility that another may be induced to sub
scribe, hut reflection may counsel discretion.
Ii was understood nj the outset Of the move
ment that three wings were prepared to fol-
low Mr.. Calhoun, and al no time since then
has it appeared probable that the number
would be increased.
