The Iammany Union meeting, in New York City,
adopted series of resolves of which we copy the fol-
lowing, as being of most interest
FfthThat the Constitution of the United States has
not granted to Congress the power either establish or
abolish domestic slavery in the States, or in the Terri
tories of the United States
Sxth-That the constitution has not granted to Con-
gress the power to impose any qualification or restric-
ton upon the admission of new States into the conede-
racy except only that their form Of government be re-
publican that every State, upon its admission being
soverelgnin all matters relating to its domestic instu-
tons, any interference herewith by Congress would be
alike unconstitutional and nugatory.
Seventh-That we will hail with delight the admis-
sion OF California the bright of the Pacific into the
galaxy of American Staes that, having framed her go
vernment in republican form, and the eby compiled with
the constitution of the United States she is entitled to
be admitted Immediately, with such boundaries as are
just TO her and to confederacy.
Eight-That the territories of the United States be-
long to the several Staeshat they entitled to ter
roral governments-in organizing which, the princi-
pile OF self government, Oh which our federal system
rests will be best promoted the true meaning and spirit
of the constitution observed, and the confederacy
strengthened, by allowing the local legislatures
act such domestic laws as agreeable to them, and
not Inconsistent with the rights of the several States
Ninth-That the Wimot proviso, requiring Congress
to impose restrictions upon the constitutions of new
States and upon the governments of the territories is
political heresy unknown to the fathers of the republic
and has no warrant in the constitution of the United
States We pronounce it to be justly offensive to the
Southern people utterly use ess for any good pupose-a
scheme odisapponted politicians to procure against
the South revenge for supposed sights-a pernciou<
effort to establish geographical paries-a device in all
respects, nexpedient and wicked.
The grounds taken in these resolutions constituted one
OF the topics in the discussion between Senators CAL
houn and Foote on Tuesday.

When in Washington few days ago. we were in
formed by Mr. De Leon the editor OF the Columbia u.s.

the Union Immediately, form Southern Contederacy
and take possession by force of arms OF all the territories
suitable for slavery not as we had supposed, part
of an editorial letter. but merely OF an anonymous com
n,uncaton published in the Telegraph. Our msappre-
hepson arose from the manner in which the extract
had been quoted by the National Intelligencer. 1t is

vows the sentiment of "DisuniOn per Sc" which the

The slightest purpose of deracting from the merit or

The Raleigh Register, Of the 9th inst, announces
with reasonable exultaton that all the stock OF the
North Carolina Central Railroad required TO be sub
scrbed for by others than the State, (viz million OF
dolIars,) has been taken. This gratifying fact
chemically ascertaned by Convention of the subscn
bers which met at Hllsborough on Wednesday, the
9th ult, and has been officially announced by General
Commissioners appointed by the act OF incorporation
It appears, however, that the manner of making the
subscriptions has not been uniform, in strict
oiance with the law The Commissioners, therefore,
wkeep the books open from the 9Th TO the 23d March,
for the purpose of recfyng such errors as have been
committed, and also to received payment of five dol
lars per share.

BRITISH LEGATION,


L,
SIR; Her Majesty's Government saw, with great sa-
sfacton the Decree published by the President of the
United States, concedng to British vessels in Ameri-
ports the privileges and advantages which are
granted to American vessels in British ports by the re-
cent modification of the British navigation laws and
was happy to assure you that the vessels of the United
States would not be excluded by any order in council
from the full benefit Of that change OF system which
Great Britain has adopted
There are, however, two three matters to which
must call your attention, believing that the real object
and spirit of your standing regulations are to confer on
the vessels OF foreign Powers those advantages which
such foreign Powers may confer upon the vessels of the
United States.
l. AS the coasting trade of the United Kingdom is still
strictly reserved to British vessels would not of course
propose to the United States Government that British
vessels should be admitted to trade to and ro between
the several ports on the eastern OF the United
States, because trade, being strictly coasng trade
Is, II may be presumed confined to United States YES
sells But the trade between the ports the east and
those on the west coast the United States involving
as it does, the necessity OF passing through seas and
along coasts tar beyond the territorial jurisdiction of the
United States resembles nature and character the
trade carried Oh between the United Kingdom and the
ransmarlne possessions OF the British crown, into
which trade the act authorizes the admission of the
vessels OF all countries which may be disposed to meet
the concessions OF Great Britain spirit of fair rec
procty and her Maestys Government conceive that
the United States vessels be admitted to this pr-
viege the United States Government may be fairly ex
pected in RETURN TO admit British vessels to trade be-
tween the Atlantic and pacific ports of the u States
Moreover you will be aware that American vessels
becoming the property Of British subjects, are now adj
mlssble to the advantages OF British register and ,
therefore, deem it no more than reasonable and fair to
expect that measures will be adopted by the United
States Government for making British vessels becoming
the property American citizens admissible to the adj
vanages OF an American register.
1t will give much pleasure to be able to satisfy her
Majesty's Government promptly these particulars
avail myself of this occasionto to you the as
surance of my highest consideration.

SIR having been represented to her Maesy's Gov
eminent that there idea the part of the Gov
eminent OF the United States increase the duties upon
British iron imported into the United States have been
instructed by her Majestys Government to express 10
the United States Government the hope fher Maiesy's
Government that addition will be made to the duties
imposed by the present tariff of The United States which
already weigh heavily on British productions and l
cannot but observe for my part that an augmenta-
made at a moment when the British Government has
by a series OF measures, been facilitating the commerce
between the two countries, would produce very disa-
greeable effect on public opinion in England

pondence; in the course OF which Mr. UNDERWOOD
said:
wish here to remark that the whole proceeding
strikes me something new. But, if the British Minis
ter can be tolerated to make suggestions the pas
sage of laws which may affect the feelings and nte-
rests of the English people, hope the committee will
be kind enough to direct their attention to some mode
OF suggesting modification OF the British tariff, espe-
cally in relation to the article of tobacco and one or
other articles on which the British duties
mously high. Sir some arrangement could be made
by which they would recprocate this feeling, if some
arrangement could be made that would terminate in the
mutual advantage OF the producers OF both countries,
it would be to me source OF great qualification.

soon be obtained which will suffice fot the

case DR.. Webster, but incidents nave come
to my knowledge since the late capital execu-
ton here, which cu-iously illustrate the
strange follies Of which poor human nature is
capable, especially the human nature OF
women and ministers. Daily, even 20 the
present period, you may see persona driving
up TO the dwelling house Of Mrs. Webster,
in Cambridge, for the purpose of at least
looking at the outside Of the house where her
late husband lived. The day after the exc
ecution, carriage drove up, and lady, lat
least apparently oue) and her daughters. Ia
Mrs. Z J from New York, alighted to enter
and soc the corpse, stating that they had
come on purpose. When the application was
rejected so gently, they insisted upon enter
ing, till they were more peremptorily refu-
sed.
Among the mass of communications and
letters which the family have received since
his arrest, land they have been so numerous,
that the postage alone which they have been
obliged to pay, might have supported them
for half year, was one from a Bishop cler-
gyman of Kentucky, who offered, if the fam
lily wouldeend him money to pay his travel
ing expenses, to come on aud use his influ-

ed wife had been distant relation Of theirs,
and with Governor Briggs who belonged to
the Baptist persuasion, to procure a pardon
for the convict.
Another man presented himself at the
house short time before the execution, and
desired an interview with Mrs Webster, for
the purpose, as he stated, OF making some
important communications to her. They
proved to be, that he had hit upon scheme
to eject the prisoners escape, that vessol
was ready TO sail and bring him away in safe
ty, and all lie desired was the cooperation Of
the family.

Farmers and their Children.

The paramount duty ofthe asriculturist is
TO elevate his class aud to which he Is enti
tied.
No idea more fatal to the supremacy Of
the farmer ever possessed him, than that OF
educating some one child in particular for
what is denominstod a learned profession.
Let sgriculturists, educate their children
as sgriculturists. Let them not give bread
to one and s,ones and serpents TO the other.
Lei them bear in mind that education adorns
and improves the cultivation OF the soil as
much as il does the LAWYER. the doctor or the
divine. Ii is false notion snd unworthy the
citizens Of free republic. that education is
not necessary TO the culture OF the SOIL
