An Agitating Subject.

The Washington correspondent Of the Jour
nal of Commerce INDUCES in the following re-
ma rks about the aghting subject, just now, al
w sshington:
The North Is now in earnest IN its demands
for the abolition Of slavery and the slave trade
i'll ;he district Of Columbia, and its exclusion
fro N the new territories. The house is prepared
to carry all these measures, and also the reslor-
att, IN OF what is called "the free-labor tariff
at this season. Should the Senate, which Is
pos sible, agree to the abolition of slavery in the
Dis trict, the President will veto it So there
will. be no legislation on the subject during the
pre- sent session. But the dissensions on this
sub ject will prevent Congress from any legisa
ton as to the territories at this session. DE-
moi now believe that the bill establishing the
Mint in California will pass,-nor any other
mee sure respecting the territories.
Sut next session, the Northern Wings anC
De mocrats will combine to pass the arbitrary
Inc lsures relying with confidence on the non
exc -cise of the veto by General Taylor.
congress might it is true, compromise all
thes e questions so a, to avoid any issue with
the South, but their object is to make an issue.
The North now seeks triumpl-and such an
one as will mortify Southern pride.
The Northern Democrats, who were in favor
of he Clayton compromise, last session, now
say that they will resist it. They say, in good
fath., for the purpose of taking out of the PARTY
arel IA but as Mr. Stevens and his Southern
fue ads defeated it, with view to make capital
for General Taylor, they will now resist it for
the advancement OF their own political purpo-
SEES.
lu,T ,hia could also be -essJy compromised. Fol
ios , ' once. the slave trade and the slave pens
wo, Id be destroyed, simply by extending the
law 5 of Maryland on that subject over the Dis
tTict and it could also be provided that no slave
aha i bel be- brought into the District fom Maryland
Existing laws prevent neir coming in from Vir-
rinia. There are but hw slaves in the District
and those can be purchased at mere trihe and
sent away or be Above to remain. At all e.
vents, they are decrcasig, and if the source of
supply be cut off, they i'll cease soon to exist
here. But the North islot for any compromise
They want triumph hey want revenge for

Awful Disaster on Board an IriSL
SteamGr.

The papers give an account of the murder of
seyenty-two persons on board an Irish steamer
from Sligo to Liverpool, on the night of the Isl
December There were 80 emigrant passen-
t,@-reI. rnas.s ef Whom, dasiasaad
passage for this country. During the night a
violent storm came on, and the whole number
were driven below into the fore cabin, a COM
partment little more than eighteen feet long by
eleven feet wide, and seven feet high. The
companion, the only aperture by which the fore
cabin received ventilation, was then closed, and
over the companion was nailed down piece of
tarpaulin. Immediately the inmates began to
experience the sensations of suffocation, and
raised shouts to be released but their shouts were
unheald from the violence of the storm. The
following is description of the scene which met
the eye of the mate, when Storage passenger
who had at last forced his way out, communica-
ted to him the terrible intelligence:
"Thc mate became instantly alarmed, and
obtained lantern, went down to render assis-
lance. Such, however was the foul state of the
air in the cabin, that the light was Immediately
extinguished. A second was obtained, and it
too was extinguished. At length, on The tar
paun being completely removed, and a free
access of air admitted the real nature of the
catastrophe exhibited itself There law in heaps.

mass of mingled agony and death, spectacle
enough to appal the stoutest heart Men. wo-
men and children, were huddled together, black.

bruised and bleeding from the desperate struc.
gle for existence which preceded the moment
when exhausted nature resigned the strife. AZ
ter some time the living were separated from the
dead, and it was then found that the latter n
mounted to nearly one-half of the entire num.

JOHN BULL AND BROTHER JoNArHAN.-We
take the following paragraph from a speech
made by Mr.. Ceckburn, member of the British
Parliament from Southampton, at u banquet Civ
en- in that city to the officers of the U. s. trigate
st. Lawrence.
Old John Bull has had many sons, but the first
born and noblest Of them all is Jonathan the
American; and while Jonathan was a little how.
he was very docile, obedient child but iona,
than grew stout and strong, and became a man.
and learnt to feel and think for himself and he
claimed to act Tor himself as a man. But John
Bull Is sometimes a stubborn, obstinate fellow .
he has will of his own, and, fatherhke, he did
hot wish to see Master Jonathan play the man.
and throw off leading strings Fathers are apt
to take such view with regard to their sons,
when they come to mans estate. The old man
said, No. no, Jonathan; am determined y)u
shan't be out after nine o'clock :" and no old
John the governor, and jonathan the son, went
to loggerheads, when the old man found out that
Jonathan was growing too much for him, and
was not to be coerced into tame submission; and
at last he consented to do what he ought TO
have done at the beginning, viz, to emancipate
jonathan, who had become a man, and allow
HIM hencetorward toact for himself And now.
Jonathan the son has become great amongst the
Sreatest nations the world has ever seen. and

Southern Convention.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 49,
The reasons assigned for not opening the
doors to the reporters and to the public last eve
ming, among others, was enc stating that the
journal of the doings would have been published,
and furthermore that had the public been admit
ted theie would have been danger of excitement
and uproar in the galleries as discussion might
progress.
The convention had no sci geant-at arms to
keep order, therefore it was voted to hold the
meeting with closed door. Mr.. Venable, of
North Carolina, read the address, which was
drawn up by Mr.. Calhoun, with Mr.. Bayley's
assistance.
Speeches were made against the address, by
Mr.. Clayton, of Delaware, Mr.. Stephens and Mr..
Toombs of Georgia, Messrs Alorehead and I'm
derwood, of Kentucky, and Mr.. Gentry, of Ten
nessee, and the address was advocated by Messrs.
Calhoun, Bailey, Gayle of Alabama, Mason Of
Virginia, Westcott, and Jefferson Davis Of Mis-
slsslpp
Speeches were made in favor ofaction, &C.,
but for modifying the address, were made by
Mr. Berrien and Mr.. Mckay. The address was
opposed on several grounds; onethatait asserts
that organizations existed through the states
reaching. into Canada, to aid slaves in escaping
from service. The proof of this position was
wanting.
Another reason was, the address declared that
the north had raised false issue by charging the
south with legislating in Congress with the
view of extending slavery, while the south open
ly denied the charge, and proclaimed that there
was no authority to restrict or expand slavery.
Mr.. Toombs could not sanction this, us he had
taken opposite grounds in Congress the last
session. Another reason for opposing the ad
dress was, that it proposed no definite chart for
action, but left alto risk as to the future.
The address was finally re-committed to the
same committee without instructions. Mr. Ber-
rien moved Instructions, but they were rejected
The committee is to report next Monday eve
ming, and till then the meeting stands adjourned
Several members of the committee got! excu-
seq from farther serving; among them were Mr.
Stephens, Mr.. Clayton, Mr.. Rusk, Mr.. Chap
man, and MIR. Morehead.
The address gives an enumeration of acts Of
aggression by the north upon the institution Of
slavery as guaranteed by the Constitution.
