The Boston Notion o( the Adjustmsnt-
What can Il Mean

We find ia the Boston Journal the following
programme as to the wait-a-little-longer policy.
1t affords a most conclusive commentary on the
correctness Of the views advanced by us yester-
day, in relation to this very matter The idea
is that The great interests in The keeping Of Con
gress 20 What can these great interests be IN
iclich Massachusetts is concerned D--impera-
arely demand A TRUCE, euen though IL be bat
brief!,!
After giving the preliminary proceedings on
the SEWARD proposition to abolish slavery in
this District, the Journal goes on TO say, in a
kind of stage aside;
These circumstances are necessary to be I'M
derstood in order to comprehend the position
which every Northern member, with the excep-
ton of Messrs. Seward, Upham, Hale and Chase,
assumed with reference to Stewards amendment
We opine that few reasonable men will deny
that under these circumstances, the amendment
pas inopport,ne and that Northern Senators
were not only justified in voting IT down, but
that they We're imperat:vely called upon so 10 do
The amendment, had it passed the Senate, would
have been lost in the House, and thus not only
would nothing have been accomplished towards
was still worse, a new element Of agitation would
have been unnecessary introduced, which would
have prevented Congress during the few remain
ing days it continues in session, from acting
upon the many measures of Importance to the
interests of the country, which yet remains to
be disposed of.
We have commented upon this movement of
Mr.. Seward, independent of its merits as sub
stantivc measure. There were many radical
defeats in the amendment which would have
rendered its adoption undesirable, even had the
movement been acclaimed. Some of these de-
fects were pointed out by Mr. Winthrop, and
others might be named, almost equally funda-
mental. The amendment appears to have been
offered without any consultation with those who
were az warmly interested in the abolition of
slavery 10 the District, as was the mover, and
was an ill-dgested proposition, liable not only
to serious objections in ITSELF but also calculated
to excite suspicion as to the motives which
actuated its introduction. Much as we respect
Mr.. Seward and while we are willing to give
him all due credit for the manly manner in
which he has borne himself during the present
session of Congress, when bitterly attacked and
abused by the Southern utraists, we are COM
PEELED TO dissent from the proprety OF his course
in relation TO the admirable bill which has passed
the Senate, Mt the same time that we deeply
regret that he should lend his influence to Il
continuation of the agitation, al period 'chen
The great interests in The keeping of Congress,
are imperatirely demanding truce, eren though
Il be bm brief.

The vote in the House Of Representatives on
the Fugitive Slave Bill, presents the state of feel
ing at the North in alarming view. Ii is amaz-
Ing that 70 out of I06 Representatives from the
non7slaveholding States, should unblushingly
avow their determination to deny to the South
institutional right, and moreover to sanction and
uphold thievery. This precious doctrine Of per-
sonal robbery and violation Of political faith these
men would sustain at the hazard ola cizil war!
What sort Of a Union is this 1? Can the South be
in political union and social connection with rob-
bers ofpersonal property, traitors to the political
compact, and meters to disorder and MURDER Ii
the desire to preserve the Union had been strong
among the free States it has been among the
slave States, the Fugitive Slave Bill would have
passed the House unanimously. That it did not
thus pass, and that there were so many votes
against it, is conclusive evidence that the Union
principle and feeling rotten to the core--aDd
we may gorify the Union, and bolster and patch
up slckly amor patria, till il shrnks to the sha
dow OF what 1t once was, while the present inhu-
ences prevail This cote sh0rs, ,chat hare here
tjore asserted that the Union is already dssored,
FIR as fraternai feeling is concerned
live are to be held together by the force oflaw
only, let the South to il that we indeed have
law; that the principles of the Constitution are
enforced and that sacred instrument restored to
it's prestine health and vigor If this cannot be
done, we should take steps to throw from Oft our
shoulders weight that becomes an instrument of
oppression and wrong.
] We trust the Legislature ,cili at the session in
November, make arrangements for consultation among
Southern States, and adopt some plan of security
for the future-nor let the safety and security of
Southern rights depend the contingency of a
Congressional majority. If there is any doubt of
| the public sentiment on this matter, we hope our
citizens will draw up petitions to that body asking
them to make arrangements for assembling con-
venton, which shall be composed of legally con-
stituted members, who will appear in the charac-
ter Of the Representatives Of Sovereign States,
eral welfare and common safety ofthe South.

serted and maintained LIST. That Congress has
no power to prohibit establish slavery in the
States territories. 81. That secession, for
cause, is positive and inherent right Of the sew

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.
FRIDAY, September 20, 1850

FRIpAv, September 20, 1850.
The House resolved itself into Committee of
the Whole on the state Of the Union-Mr. DIS
HEY, Of Ohio, in the Chair, and took up the naval
appropriation bill.
Mr. EWING, of Tennessee addressed the
committee IN favor of the encouragement Of ocean
steamers for mail and naval purposes. The sys-
tenn was entirely new in its character We had
but just entered upon vast field for distinguish
ing a first rate nav l power. But having be-
gun, the question now was, whether should
abandon those lines we had fosered into being,
and refuse all connexion with others. He wished
to know whether the object Of the gentleman
from Missouri MIR. GREEN was to break up the
mail steam service, or the navy steam service, or
BOTH
Mr.. GREEN said that he had not suggested
anything for breaking down the steam marine for
the navy. He had spoke Of refusing oil further
connexion with private ocean steamers, other than
that which existing laws might obligate us to
have, for many reasons, and particularly because
we could get the service performed for fifth Of
the cost.
Mr.. EWING maintained that it was our true
policy to encourage these private steamers, both
for mail and naval purposes. The true question
was, whether we should have mail connection
with Oregon, California aud the rest of the world
by steamships or packets. And being in favor of
the steam, he thought we should go on as we had
commenced, continue our appropriations from the
Federal treasury, and thus aid the construction of
both maui and naval power ntthc same time.
Mr.. VENABLE asked why we could not TRIMS
NIT or foreign letters in steamships without help
ing to build them, as we formerly did in sailing
packets' We then paid postage to ships Of
two ceuts per letter, and why should we pay more
in these days Of chap postsge'
MIR. EWING s answer was not distinctly heard
by the reporter, He then went into an extended
and very rapid dsquisition on the importance Of
constructing, by mingling public and private en-
tefPrize, a steam navy equal TO that of France

From The Hicksburg (.MiSs.l Seminal.

SOUTHERN COMMEMORATIVE are favorablY
impressed with the suggestion in the following re-
marks of the last Milledgcville Federal Union
Most cordially agreeing with the editor that the
Southern Convention should assemble again, we
also very much incline think it best that it should
adopt the Capital of Georgia as the place of meet
ing. 1t ls, at any rate, worth considering, and
one or two reasons for the change might be given,
in addition to those named by the Federal Union;
but we are content TO rest upon those which are
given. We quote the remarks Of that paper:
''THE NASHVILLE coNvENTIoN.--lt will be re-
membered that this body convenes again, by its
own appointment, after the adjournment Of Con-
gress. No honest observer Of passing events can
dare to say but that it's deliberations have been
largely instrumental in that increasing utility of
feeling and sentiment which is beginning to per-
wade the entire South. None of the evils antici-
pated from it has ocurred; much Of the good has
already been realized.
"The Southern Convention will meet again. II
should meet again. We advert to the subject now,
respectfully to suggest change of the place Of
meeting--ihat instead of Nashville, Tennessee,
it shall meet at Mledgeve, Georgia. We
briefly state two reasons that prompt the sugges-
ton:
al Nashville has been lately visited by the
cholera 1t may be there again, and if not there,
on some of the Western rivers, and thus deter
delegates from going there.
SO. Milledgeville is equally central and more
accessible

Movements of the Enemy.

Two important facts are proven by the fol-
lowing frank expressions of sentiment on the
part of Free soil Wing paper. In the first
place, the fact that Northern Democracy is as
little reliable as Northern Whiggery--in the
second place, the fact that even bitter partizans
are merging their political prejudices in Free
soil frnatacism, real or pretended. The Albany
Ecening Journal, (Whig Free-soiD having said
"They (Wilmot, of Ps aud Cartier, of Ohio
have both been faithful and fearless defenders
of Free-soil, and though 10 other respects poit-
ically opposed to us, we hope to see them re-
elected"
republishes from the Western Ne,o Yorker,
a brother in the faith, the following comment:
"We hope to see men elected in their stead
who are mol political opposed to us
with the rejoinder tina. goes to the marrow of
the matter
Sand 50 should We hope il their Districts
were not hopclessly against us"
Fas est ab norte docei-he is an irreclainrlble
fool whom the tactics Of the Ecening Journal
cannot teach the proper plan of Illustration.
Let the South combine for defence, as they
do for assault, and she is safe-the protection of
her honor and equality is in her own hands

The CRops IN MARESGo AND CHocTAw, ALA.
In the Clarke county Herald, of the 4th inst,
the editor says, We have, within few DAYS
past, paid flying visit to the counties of Ma
rengo and Choctaw. During our absence, we
made particular inquiries about the crops, and
learned that they were very short, in conse-
qucnce of the drought; and in the latter county,
corn on the stalk was selling at one dollar per
bushc. and not much TO be had at that price
Cotton was opening finely, and the planters
boslly engaged in picking It out; it is doubtful
whether It will reach half crop; and should
there Dc an early frost, heavy enough to kill the
bolls, 1T will not reach that These remarks ap-
ply equally well to this (Clarke) county

es+ssly sas il IN new distractions add uit{msts
disunion.r
We have italicized one sentence which is
most pregnant. The position there taken by
the metropolitan organ of Democracy is only
against precipitate and sudden emancipation
And well may that organ take that position
For il, as it advises, the South submits to the
late adjustment, she has nothing left but 10
choose between precipitate and sudden eman-
dpation, or emancipation not precptate and
sudden.
The Union after thus making show of de-
nouncing the VAN BURENs, cannot refrain from
the following editorial in the very next column
"The democracy Of the city and county Of
New York held, on Friday last, large and bril-
liza I meeting in old Tammany Hall, which was
illuminated on the occasion, to celebrate g the
death and burial of the Wilmot Proviso" Va
rious eloquent speeches We're delivered an ami
mated resolutions adopted on the occasion"
That large and brilliant meeting was to cele-
brate the coalition between " the Van BURENs''
and their Free-soil followers, with the Hunker
Democracy-thus forming that party on which,
as the Union tells us, the South must rely for
support of her institutions
People of the South if Wing and Demo-
cratic presses and politicians can unite in favor
of measures SO degrading and destructive OF
your rights and interests as to secure an immc-
date adhesion, alliance and fraternity of your
most bitter foes the VAN BURENs and Free
soilers, can you not unite, both Wings and
Democrats, in measures of defence and safety
Nows the day and nows the hour"

on-Interveutiou Carried out in Practice

Non Iuterveutlou Carried out in Practice.
The Buffalo Republican, a Frec-soil print, en-
dorscs the nominations of the Syracuse Conven-
ton, but frankly confesses, at the same time, as
to the creed avowcd, that there's nothing in it
non-interventon practically carried out:
The SYRACUSE PLATFoRM.-We have had
Buffalo platforms and Baltimore platforms, and
other platforms, but neither, in our judgment,
are equal, in some respects, to the Syracuse
platform, which we publish on the first side OF
to-day's paper. In former times, when Demo-
Gratis were Democrats, it was customary TO avow
friendship for and hostility to distinctive princi-
pies, and in such language that the humbIest OF
the Democracy could understand the drift of the
party. But this is so no longer. The rssol,t-
buttons adopted at Syracuse mean anything or
everything or nothing, just as caprice or interest
or pride may please to construc them. They
congratulate the country upon the settlement"
of certain questions, and deDounce the Admins
tration for aiding in their settlement. They APP
prove of declarations of sentiment which would
have been pertinent years ago, but which have
little or no bearing upon matters now at issue.
They are, in ord, just nothing at all--or, rs
the Yankee would express it, 'the lille end Of
nothing whittled doacn"
There is a platform for grand National con-
solidated Union Party, for you broad enough
to stake i'm North and South, East and West

/" Oliver Greedy for More !"

The rage for Territorial acquisition for new
Territory out of which to carve new Free-soii
States, seems to have seized upon those North
crn politicians who formerly deprecated and de-
nounced any " extension of The area as fraught
with danger and future wo.
The vast Pacific acquisition appears only to
have served us whet to the Northern appetite
IA luncheon to laya foundationfor dnner--for
man as wide and as Unsuitable as the grave.
The New York Courier thus oracularly and
darkly cast the shadows of a coming event be-
fore:
Whenever, in the future, contingencies may
arise, making it both just and erpedieM to en-
large our domain further, it will be done, and
not all the protests England may pronounce, nor
all the protectorates England may establish,
will divert us from our purpose"
