Abolhonism is getting to be extremely an
dacious in the South. 1t would seem almost
certain that there are emissares in the midst OF
us, whose business it is to talk of sedtion and
encourage slave stealing and the running away
of slaves as a regular business. People have
been compelled in Alabama, on two occasions
lately to hold public meetings, in order to take
precautions against such persons, whereat the
suspected parties were singled out by name and
warned to quit the place. The proofs are said
to have been clear, and the course Of the meet
ngs tolerant in allowing this much grace.-N

COMPANY-THROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY-TNROU PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA;
r. HE public will be gratifed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
number then DESTROYS to go out, to sell tickets FOR
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties and the preva-
ence of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
| vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impotence of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several Of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able 10 give the pubic the assurance lhat the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt HrpsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt HITcHcocx.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKIEY.

to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. Porter, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENCK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEIN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma will arise
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage TO California.

PROPOSED MASS MEETING IN CHERoKEE.-
Our attention has been called to the propriety
and expediency of holding Mass Meeting at
some central point in Cherokee, some time to-
wards the close Of next month. We think the
idea capital one, and will do every thing in
our power to promote the assembling of such
meeting. We were Of the opinion from the
first, that Macon though good point for Mid.
dl. Georgia, was too remote from us, and the
season untavorable for our people to 90 below
We had other reasons for desiring the meeting
should take place in Cherokee. KINGSTON, OF
the line of Rail Road has been suggested as the
place; we suggest THURSDAY THE TWENTY.
SIXTH OF SEPTEMBER, us the tiIne.-We hope
our friends Of the press will join us heartily in
making demonstration that Cherokee is South
ern to the core. Let distinguished men from
the whole South be promptly invited to attend.
Let us meet and take counsel for the preser-
walton of Southern equalAb liberty and safety
now invaded by an unscrupMous congressional
ority.-RVme (tia) Soy erner.

among the enemies of the South we class not

That all such are in point of fact, enemies to the

are openly engaged in assaing the rights of

SPEECH OF MR. CLAY,
On the Report from the Select Committee.
SENATE.-The lobby and ane-rooms densely
crowded this morning by an eager multitude, attracted
hitherto by the belief that Mr. CLAY would address the
Senate the merits of the report recently madeby the
select committee of thirteen.
Mr. FooTE moved to admit the ladies TO seats on the
floor of the Senate--but the motion failed.
After the transaction of the unsual morning business
the Report of the Select Committee of Thirteen was
taken up.
Mr. CLAY addressed the Senatein explanation of thu
motives which governed the Committee in framing its
report. His remarks were little else than an amplifica-
ton of the report ITSELF which was laid before the Senate
Thursday last. He expressed himself as being in no
wise discouraged by the signs of opposition nantes ted
towards the Report in the Senale felt confident that it
would pass that body, and thought the people hem-
selves would gladly accept it.
He proceeded to meet and refute all the objections
urged against lhe report taking especial pains to dis
pose Of Mr.. BENToN's bubble about Parliamentary
law.
When he closed his remarks the Senate adjourned on
Mr. HALEs motion.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES THE Committee on
Elections made report relative to the Delegates from
New Mexico and Deseret which made the special
order OF the day for the 22d inst.
MIR. STANLY gave notice that he would tomorrow
offer resolution to close the debate on the subject OF
the admission of California.
After several Intellectual attempts to suspend the rules
tor the purpose OF introducing various resolutions, the
House went into Committee of the Whole on the Pre-
sidenls California Message. Messrs. CLARKE and SA-
WAGE respectively addressed the Committee the sub
iect Mr.. MEAcHAN then obtained the floor, when the
Committee rose and the House adjourned.

CUBA.
The New York Sun OF Saturday has the following
article:
The New York Sun is in receipt OF private nteI-
gence from the last head quarters OF the Cuban Pa
tTiOts.
All the vessels of the Cuban expedition have sailed
and without doubt are at this moment lowering the
coast of Cuba
There every reason to believe that the next advces
from Havana, after this date May lith, will bring us
Of the successful landing of the Patriots and the
actual commencement OF their struggle Tor independ-
ence.
We at liberty for the present. to lay only few par
ticulars before the public.
The plan and management Of the parties concerned in
getting up the expedition have been most admirable.
Every movement was so cautious and concealed
that up the hour OF the sailing of the vessels only
lew persons, except those engaged knew anything OF
the affair
The other newspapers OF the city of New ork doubt
the correctness OF the statement
lon, the correspondent OF the Baltimore Sun, wri-
ting under date, Washington. May IL, says:
Yesterday, in Cabinet meeting, the subject OF the
dissatisfaction manifested by the Wing party and by the
Republic with the members the administration was
made subject OF serious discussion 1t is said that hS
members OF the Cabinet to the unanimous conclu
sion that there grounds for this dissatisfaction
and that they popular enough, for practical pur
poses, as the "nellgencer had recently shown. The
President, it is believed concurred with them in the
opinion, and will not at present insist upon any changes
No Cabinet could be now found which would command
popular confidence, and there party measures
be proposed by any Cabinet, while Majority of both
Houses is decidedly hostile to them.
The city is full of Northern Wing politicians, and Mr.
Thurlow Weed is at their head whose object is
plain OF the Cabinet and persuade General Taylor to
break 1t up-but it is go.
