WASHINGTON, Jan. D. The Southern mem

WASHINGTON, Jan. p. The Southern mem
bers have opened their fire upon General Fay
or's California Message, and upon his truly
patriotic and concilialory policy. General lay
or is between two fires; the NuIthern anti slave
nv men oppose his views because he wishes tC
evade the WllHIot provIso, and Will erade II by
his plan. The Southern men resist his whole
scheme, because II brings California into the
Union, with Il constitution nhibiting slavery, and
with territory extending South OF the Missouri
compromise line of 35- 30 III.
They resist, too, because il affords them no
guaranty, That any part of the territory acquired
from Mexico will ever ue subjected TO slavery.
The Southern men say that If they fail to OBJ
tam some compromise now. they may forever
yield the whole question, with all ITS ute -or
consequences The North will soun be
strengthened by new appoftion'nent Of repre-
sehialivcs. Besides, If the question be left open
II will 20 into the election next fall ana every
Northern man not IN favor OF the Niinot proyIso
VIII be thrown aside. 1t Concerns the harmony
and stability ot the Union therefore 10 adjust II

have no doub, that the Southern men are, as
heretofore, disposed to accept any reasonable
compromise OF tie subject. But an perfectly

of the Vermont resolutions, is represented al
one of the ablest speeches ever delivered in the
Senate, and brilliant as well as able.
WASHINGTON Jan. 23d, 1850.
In the Senate to-day, Mr.. Phelps spoke fol
three hours upon the motion TO print the resolu
tions of the Legislature of Vermont relative tf
Slavery. His speech was very brilliant effort
and did him much honor, while he advanced some
new arguments IN reply TO Southern Senators
| " no ia ikcd of dIsunlon. lie said that II the
Wllinot Provsn passed Congress, 1t was the ST.
preme Court first to decide Us 10 the constitution
al power of Congress 10 make such provision;
then for the Legislatures of the several States
to act and express their decisions IN regard TO It
and then for The South to Consider what course
they would pursue. As regards Notifications,
navy yards and ships of war, in case Of dlsrneti-
berment Of the Confederation, lie did not see
how the South could obtain more than small
portion Of them. As 10 the territories, they be-
loDged as well to the North as the South, and II
the South claimed them, in they separated
from the Union, he could see no other way by
which they could make their cldlm good except
by h5htirg.-.Nlds.

An order has been introduced IN the u. Sem

of President Taylor his reasons Tor removing
