The intelligence from Texas is most important,
and indicates spirited determination to take into
her own hands the adjustment other affairs. We
venture to predict that she will accomplish her
purpose without difficulty. Whenever the whole
South or any considerable portion of the South
evinces with sufficient clearness the same deter
mination not to be kicked into the kennel, she will
attain TO the same position OF respecabiity which
Texas is about to achieve, and with as little trou-
BILE.

GENERAL CHApLAIN.-Much as has been

line, of this renowned parsonage, yet we have
seen no comment by the public press upon
what we consider by far the most important
circumstance ELECTED by his arrested and

pathy his case meets with at the North. Gene
raj Chaplain himself is an insignificant thing
and, we trust. will soon be despatched-made
to do service in the Maryland Pententiary, in
company with better men, for the residue his
natural life. But it is very grave matter that
a man whose business is robbery for reward
pose by murder, should attach to himself the
sympathy Of large, and, in some respects, es-
unable, class ofthe population OF his country.
And yet, at this very moment, there is grief in
New England households at the sad fate OF
Chaplin. Many excellent and pious old ladies
are loud in their wall that so worthy man
should be martyr; and we have no doubt that
at sewing. societies and antislavery meetings
in Connecticut and Massachusetts, collections
are now being taken up to pay the fees Of Gen.
Walter Jones and Mr.. Jos. H. Bradley for de-
Tending the hero. We say this is grave mat.
ter; for it indicates the among peope OF New
England at war with the longer continuance OF
our Union. We are no alarlnists; we have spo-
ken out plainly our sentiments on the present
question between the North and South; we
cling to the States as the wrecked mariner to
the last plank in the tempest, but we say to the
people of the North that upon this subject of
the restitution of fugitive slaves they must make
up their minds to do full justice under the Con.
stitution the justice that Mr.. Webster enjoins-
or we cannot hold together. We repeat that
the feeling manifested towards this despicable
villain-- Chaplin:..the lenient terms in which
he is spoked of by the Northern press, fills us
with apprehension on this point We trust,
however, that fanatcism will ere long SO display
itself as the advocate of every crime to carry
out its schemes, that public opinion even in New
England will undergo, with regard to slavery,
a radical and salutary change.

The Prospect.

The great question of the day seems to be-, as
to the fate Of the several bills before the House,
which lately composed the defunct omnibus bill
of the Senate. The Washington Union urges the
necessity of their passage to quiet the dangerous
excitement which pervades the country, while
the Inteligencer sings the same song to a differ
ent tune. This latter paper declares that there is
no difference of opinion OH this subject. That
from all quarters of the country, without dissen-
ting voice, the people demand the adoption OF
these heartless schemes Of punder. Divested
even Of the name of compromise, and from the be-
ginning destitute ofany principle emitting them
to that appellation, they now stand in their nude
and bald deformity, as so many breakers in the
way of the ship of State. The friends of the di-
ferent measures differing only in the degree of af
fection which they have and bear for their several
favorites, and wefknowing how little trust is to be
placed in the engagements of men who are enga-
ged in common system of plunder, cannot agree
among themselves as to which shall have prece-
cedence. This is the first difficulty in the way OF
the bills, but there is little doubt that it will be over.
come. There is another still more threatening
aspect, though sneered at by the rabd party or
gans, above named. We allude to the opposition
of the Southern members, to which with singular
unanimity, they stand pledged and committed be-
fore the country, by every constitutional mode of
resistance. If they agree to resist these bills in
every way, they cannot pass. But, it may BE-,
that, confident that the measures can only be
delayed by their opposition, they may give way,
they cannot finally prevent. We confess there is
little to be gained by delay-at least, in our opin-
ion. 1fthe South is not prepared now to redress
her wrongs we cannot see that she ever will be;
and we believe that the passage of these bills will
present as perfectly as possible, the points at issue
between us. Of course, We do not mean to ipdi-
cate any objection to the bill for providing terri
torial government to Utah, which lies to the North
ofour ultimatum Of thirty six and half North
latitude The Texas and the California bills are
the real pirates, and to those our attention is d.
rected The former measure meets with littleiavor
from the ultras of the North, who have little idea
ofpaying Texas Slo,OOo,O 900 for that which maybe
had for the taking, as they suppose In the mean
time, there is every Indication, that Texas will
deprive them of any uneasiness in that quarter
by refusing to take the brbe as an alternative to
the sword. From indications of popular senti-
ment in Texas there is every reason to believe
that she will put down the insurrectionary gov
ernment ofSanta Fe, by her own strong arm, and
thus put Mr.. Fimores boast to the test Our
own opinion is, " hen the crisis comes in earnest,
this warIike individual will hack.

STATE OF WISCONSIN.

The Old Line and Free Democracy have re-
united in the Wisconsin Legislature, and, as the
result, We may expect the passage Of the resolu-
tons introduced by Mr.. Gale in the Senate on
the 18th January, when they were read twice and
ordered to be printed.
They instruct the Senators and request the
Representatives of Wisconsin to support every
just and prudent measure for the exclusion of
slavery from the District of Columbia, for the
entire suppression of the slave trade on the high
seas, and wherever else Congress has jurisdiction,
and generally to relieve the Federal GsSsVAaS,,S
from all responsibility for the existence, mainte-
nance, or liberation Of slavery or the traffic in
slaves; to use their influence, by direct vote or
otherwise, whenever an opportunity shall occur to
procure the application of the Ordinance of 1887
to all territory belonging to the United States to
oppose by all legal and proper means the admis-
sion of any new State into the Union, when the
laws or Constitutions thereof create or tolerate
slavery, and to use all necessary means to pro-
cure the immediate admission of the new State
of California.
On the 23d ult, these resolutions were taken
upand unanimously adopted.

THE NATIONAL ERA.
WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY IA, 1850.
THE ERA, THIS WEEK.

We have on hand and are receiving daily
great variety Of communications in prose and po-
etry which it is utterly impossible for us to pub
lish at present They are all carefully stored for
future use.
This week the speech of Mr.. Clay and the Con-
gressional proceedings have left us little room for
anything else. Having wholly dissented from
Mr.. Clay's plan of Compromise, it was nothing
but fair to give his reasons in support Off His
speech, too, contains many admissions important
to the advocates of Freedom, and many generous
sentiments His plan fails to secure the appro-
baton Of any considerable number of persons, in
any section The leading Wing journals of the
free States, especially, are decided in their e1-
pressions of dissent.
The Senate is just now more excitable than the
House. The reader will find much space devoted
to its proceedings, some Of which are quite dra-
matte. Messrs. Hale, Chase, and Seward, bear
themselves CALAMITY
The conduct of the Senate in relation to the
petition for the peaceable dissolution Of the I'm
ion, will provoke rather contemptuous feeling
in sober-minded people. Everybody knows that
the signers Of such petitions are but few, and
have the least possible disposition to do harm to
any living thing; and yet grave Senators vex
themselves for three or four days with the ques-
ton how to dispose Of it, and at last by way of
demonstrating their marvellous devotion to the
Union, unite in refusing TO receive the obnoxious
paper Common sense, if not respect for the
right Of petition, should have induced them to re-
ceive it without question or debate. But, we
must presume that they are anxious to multiply
such petitions so that they may from time to time
have occasion to make sophomorcal oraions

MANUFACTURING PFBLIC OPINION.

We have been told that the resolutions lately
passed in Oneida county, New York, by union
meeting of Democrats, deprecating the agitation
of the sectional questions, &c, were concocted in
Washington.
A meeting of Democrats in Northampton coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, was held on the 2lst ultimo
at which resolutions in which the Wilmot Pro-
vso Was denounced and the Baltimore Plat.
form in relation to slavery was reaffrmed, were
unanimously adopted. They were introduced by
the Hon Richard Brodhead, a fast friend of sla-
very, who CHANGED to be in Washington a short
time before this meeting where probably he re-
ceived his Instructions From that time to this
Mr. x-Secretary Buchanan has been on hand
in the Hobbies of Congress, being penetrated with
profound anxiety for the fate. of the Union, and
experimenting with benevolent solcitude the vot-
ing of the Pennsy lvana members. How many
letters from the grand councillors in Washington
are hourly passing to all parts of the country,
urging similar demonstrations to those given in
Oneida county, New York, and Northampton
county, Pennsylvania
We forgot to notice a meeting Of the same
stripe, somewhere in Ohio, some time ago, at
which Ex-Representative Sawyer figured, in the
passage of resolutions of the genuine doughace
stamp lie probably was notified from Washing
ton that such a display would be Of essential ser
vice, rs showing that Northern sentiment was
growing healthy again.
No sooner Is such a meeting held, than the It'd
ing are send to the Washington Union, in the col
umns of which the report is conspicuously herald
ed, and members of Congress from the free States
are admonishsd of the reviving spirit Of compro-
mise among their constituents
We trust that the people Of the free States will
be on the alert Let them watch the demagogues
at home, and we will watch them here Wher-

racy is determined upon-no matter what the
North does now, Dsunion must come. One let
terwIiter goes so far IA to say that If necessary
six Southern Senator's are prepared to vacate
their seats, to let the Wilmot Proviso pass, SO
that the South may have casns belli-and the
Mem York Tribme gives countenance to the folly!
Will the People of the free States permit them
selves to be imposed on by this transparent
trickery? Or, admit that all these exhibitions OF
Southern wrath and determination are to be taken
in earnest-are they prepared to succumb and
excuse their Representatives for abandoning the
Ordinance of 1872 If under intimidation, they
now give up free territory to Slavery, OF what
degradation are they incapable What exac-
tons will they not suffer, what burdens not bear
Is there anything more that Shareholders can ask,
except the privilege Of setting up Slavery within
the boundaries of free States7 If prepared to do
and suffer all the Slave Power demands, we hope
they will say so, in some authentic way, so as to
enable Congress TO come to speedy settlement
of the controversy Let them meet together in
Conventions in the several States and pass some
snch resolutions as the following:
That, as Shareholders will tolerate no Union in
which their claims to supreme power is not ac-
knowledged, therefore, we cheerfully assent to
this claim, now and forever, provided they allow
US, without molestaton, to devote ourselves to the
plough, the loom, and the anvil.
If this do not suit them, and if they really do
cherish purpose to maintain the rights of the
majority, to keep free territory free, and secure
the sseeadezcy IF tbe Principle of Freedom in
the Federal Government, we submit whether they
ought not to hold Mass Convention of all the
friends of Liberty throughout the country, on the
4th day of July next or earlier, at some central
point, when and where they may take into con-
sideratiOn the proceedings of the Convention of
the Friends Of Slavery to be held at Nashville in

OHIO.

In the Senate of Ohio, resolutions have been in
troduced by Mr.. Lawrence of Logan, ipstructing
the Senators and requesting the Representatives
of that State in Congress to all constitutional
and proper means to procure the immediate aboli-
ton of slavery and the slave trade in the District
of Columbia, and in all places under the exclusive
jurisdiction of the Federal Government; to resist
the admission Of any new State which tolerates
slavery; to secure the passage Of act prohibit
ing the existence of slavery in any FORM in the
Territories Of the United States, &c.
The probability is that strong resolutions will
be passed. The resolutions have passed the
Senate.
