HoUsE.-After coming upon amendments
Mr.. Wimot asked leave Of the House that
the committee take up the California message
to enable him to make few remarks. By
unanimous consent the members drew around
the gentleman, and the confusion which pre-
vailed, subsidized into respectful attention.
Mr. Wilmot said the debate on the subject
of the admission of California, and questions
connected Herewith, had, in his judgement,
produced wonderful results. The settled and
fixed purposes of southern men, have been de-
nounced. There was doubt as to the termi-
nation of the conflict. 1t was to extend sla-
very into the Territories. Ifthere was reason
to doubt heretofore there was doubt no longer
There was no question more frought with con-
sequences than the ultimate decision of that
measure and which is to terminate the charac-
ter and position Of the country. twill settle
another question, to wit: whether the govern
ment is to be administered in the spirit that
gave it birth, or whether an aristocTaey based
on slave property and slave representation
shall control it. In this aspect it has been
viewed on the part ofsouthern men bordering
almost on madness; they were bound in sound
ties to the Union, but banded together as one
man for the accom- lishment of their object and
that is the pertinancy of slavery; there is no
disguise, the existence Of the Union and sta
bility of Government are threatened by the
South. In his judgement this spirit Of threat
ening and defiance must be quelled OF the North
are the greatest of slaves. What he asked
was that the line of duty be prescribed. I'm

be told what we shall or shall not do, at the
peril of the government itself. If we submit
to this any longer our freedom here and the
fundamental principles of the Constitution are
condemned.

eminent, TO protest against such unlawful State
action, come from what quarter it may Our
surprise would have been less, and SO would
have been cur modification and indignation, had
this enactment proceeded from confessed abo-
lition or "free-soi" source. We hear it said
that this law passed almost unobseryed through
the forms of legislation; and this idea gets some
support from the known fact that there has been
no manifestation Of discomfort no exciting agita-
ton in Vermont on the subject of the Fugitive
slave law. But this apology, if true, is a very
poor and lame one. Measures of such import
ance as this can hardly pass silently and unob-
served among Legislators who are duly conscious
of the importance of their trust
The joint resolutions which we subjoin to
these remarks were introduced and passed in
the same Legislature; and every reader will see,
in these carefully considered resolutions, proof
almost conclusive that the passage of the law
to which we refer could not have been delib-
crate act, but rather surprise upon the legisla-
ture. For how much more in accordance with
its duty to the Union, and with the conservative
character of the State, would it not have been,
had its legislation partaken of the spirit and
temper of these resolutions! We honor the
mover of them, whoever he was, and wish We
we're able to proclaim his name TO our readers,
and sincerely hope that their patriotic and fra
ternal spirit may spread and extinguish the dis
loyal principles and feelings of the act which
has so inauspiciously received the sanction Of
the legislature.
And, 10! there comes at the same time blast
from the South, in the shape of threat from
South Carolina that such discrimination shall
be made, by her authority, within her own terri
tory, as to prices and taxes between domestic
articles and foreign articles, as shall exclude the
former from consumption by the people of the
State. If this be not equally bold and barefared
with the Northern blast, CHAT is, the Vermont
law it is more nsidious and equally repugnant
to the Constitution of the United States. AS
this unlawful offspring Of the hot-bed Of mis-
chievous notions appears to be finding some
favor in other portions of the South, which we
would fain save from the folly Of copying so
pernicious an example, it demands to be treated
with more consideration than it otherwise would,
or than we can give to it at this moment; and
We shall return to the subject ut an early day.
Meanwhile, we will only remind our readers
that every act of State government under
taking to regulate, directly or indirectly-in
direct words or by necessary consequence
commerce among The several States, is in direct
conflict with the provisions of the Constitution,
which declares that Congress " shall have power
to regulate commerce among the several States"
and is otherwise in co0lct with the letter and
the spirit of the Constitution.

compares with that of the children Of slaves in
the South, can easily be seen by any Abolitionist
who may visit that quarter, for any other pur.
pose than to steal or seduce them from their
masters.
To show the condition of the grown up Eng,
lish free-bom, laboring classes, l will merely
adduce an example which was laid before Par,
lament in l842:
william Gladstone, a laborer, earned eleven
shillings a week, and expended Is I'd. in food

Is. I'd.

1t thus appears that nearly one-half the wages
of this poor man, and of all those who consumed
similar articles Of food, was extorted from him
by government. Here follows another illus
tration of English philanthropy:
English work and Irish wages. "Peter
Moreau, says p. L. Courier in his village Ga
zette-" Peter Moreau and his wife arc dead,
aged twenty-five years. Too much work has
killed them, and many besides. We say work
like negro, work Ikea galley slave: we ought
to say, work like freeman" say, work like
Il Lancashire weaver. There is no such work in
America, even among slaves. All day long,
from Monday morning till Saturday night, week
after week and year after year, till the machine
is worn out. Talk ofnegroes and galley slaves
American slaves, or convicts in New South
Wales, are fat and happy, compared with hun
dreds of thousands of free-born Englishmen
BY the way-it happens, not rarely so as to be
matter of wonder, but so often as to pass un-
noticed, that Englishmen commit crimes for the
purpose of becoming galley slaves in New South
Wales. They do not keep their purpose secret );
they declare it loudly with tears and passionate
exclamations to the magistrate who commits
them for trial, to the jury who try them, and to
the judge who passes sentence on them and
all this is published in the newspapers, but so
often that no one exclaims, Great God am |
in merry England" Well may judges on the
bench talk Of the misery and degradation of the
people'
In my next, and probably last letter on this
subject shall give few more samples of the
morals and happiness of the free-born English
men, accompanied by some brief remarks on the
nature and objects of British philanthropy.

Agitation Renewed in Congress.

1t will be seen by the Congressional proceed
ings of yesterday, that agitation has been COM
meRced again in Congress. Hon. J. B. GID,
DINGs awaited himself of the first opportunity,
the reference of the Presidents message, to at
tack the Fugitive slave lava topic whose agi-
tation is perhaps more dangerous to the South
at present, than any other part of the slavery
question.
1t is in vain to expect this agitation to cease
until the law is repealed, unless its defeat by
the people and States Of the North at home,
shall satisfy the fanatics.
This we believe makes another of the contin-
gencies in which submissionists were to resist.
If the compromise were not observed, if the law
was not executed-if State nullified it, if agi-
taton was removed-the South was to do some
thing.
The ultimatum Of the submissionists must
take another slde
