Virginia and Vermont.

The Legislature of Vermont recently adopted
certain resolutions against the extension Of
Slavery, &c. which were ordered TO be transmit
ted TO Congress and 10 the Governors o. the
several States. Those addressed to the Cover
nor of Virginia were transmitted to the House
OF Delegates of that Stale on Saturday last, ae-
compsnlcd by the following message from Gov.
FLoTp:
Executive DEPARTMENT, Jan. IL, 1850.
To he General assembly Of Vrginia:
GENrLEMEN:-I have received from the Gov
ernor o, Vermont certain resolutions passed bv
the Legislature of that State upon the subject Of
Slavery with i request hat should transmit
them to you comply with the request because
| think 1t proper you should know the temper
and spirit manifested towards Virginia and the
South by Vermont. If could believe the sen,i-
neats contained in these resolutions were con-
fined to the Stale from which they emenate,
they would excite in me, as am sure they
would IN every citizen of Virginia, feeling Of
pity merely. But we are constrained TO believe
from evidences too numerous and clear to admit
OF doubt, that these resolutions eWbody the
opinions and feelings too of large majority of
the free States.
In this respect they present to US question of
lnolnentous importance, and drive US 10 consider
how we are to ylndicate our character and main
tain our constitutional rights. The provisions
OF the constitution, upholding, sustaining and
protecting 81. very, are, by these resolutions, alb
rogaied and disregarded. The opinion OF the
North sustalns this action.
The time has already passed for the discussion
of the questions between US; no human resort
or eloquence can stop the headlong career Of
injury ard wrong which tho North Is pursuing
towards us. They tralnple upon the constitution
and our rights, whilst they meet with scorn and
contempt all remonstrance against their course
of aggression.
We eau take care of ourselves let US not set
idly down until the foot Of the destroyer comes.

'Stdrery Question.--A correspondent of the
Boston Courier writes from Washington under
date of January 10, as follows:
he slavery question Is the all il all in
washington. 1t crops out in every debate, and
Is the universal topic. And SO it Is likely to be
throughout the session. Ia the debate in the
Senate, day or two ago, on the Vermont reso-
iutions, Mr.. Calhoun made few brief but sig
nlhcant remarks. They amounted to this: that
Northern men avowed what he believed, name
ly, that they could not stand before the Abolition
current, aud must 90 with II. He was convin-
ced OF this, and juncture had accordingly arri-
we'd which deyolved great duties and responsi-
billtles upon the South. He felt that a great crl
SIS had come, and he believed that the South
would meet 1t as it should be met.
"lfy you ask me what is the tone of Northern
men here, answer, 1t Is one of seriousness and
alarm at the ultimate issue of the Slavery cues
ton. 1t is believed that an influential portion of

Senator Phelps.

The Washington Correspondent of the New

speech on the Slavery question:
He was listened 10 with the most profound At

was expressed vi'h a degree OF force that produ-

the sentiments of the North IN so calm manner
Is opporiune and important, and must hive no
slight effect upon the future action of the South

ing subject.
There Is much good sense in the remarks of
Senator Phelps, and when Mr.. Calhoun stated in
lew concise phrases what tie determination of
the South would be IN his opinion, notwthstand-
ny he listened to with profound attention,
the position of Mr.. Phelps did not seem IN the
least shaken, even on Mr.. Calhouu's side of

He knew that there was a question which threat
ened that Union which all patriots looked upon
with so much reverence. and which had been
used by unprincipled je.Hosogues in the Free
States tor the basest purposes; and with a view
Of settling that question, ana quoting the agIia-
ton, he had gwen notice tina, he would introduce

not to enlarge the ground Of agitation. The
annexation OF Texas settled the mischirvous
question oi slavery, with respect 10 her entire
Territory, aud there was not, therefore, foot of
Free Suii within her riders. He was utterly
opposed now 10 opening tie doors again for that
designating question, by reducing the bOunda-
RES OF IeXus, by such means as had been pro-
posed. The Constitution presented By Texas,
and sanctioned by the Resolutions Of Annexa-
tom provided for the admission into the Union
OF one slave State, with all her territory, as laid
down oy her, in an act declaring her boundaries
and he could not assent, for moment, to an
act toeratng the wrestling of any portion of that
territory, thus admitted Into the Union, from the
South. His bill proposed that with the consent
of Texas frs, had and obtained, the exterior
Territory OF Texas should be erected into a
State, 10 be named IN honor OF the battle of San
Jacinto. HIS bill did not say 1t should be
slave State-although OF course, he meant that
and should consider himself traitor To the
South if he had any other intention. Mr.. F.

sumed, that the Senator from Missouri, although
he did not name him, had stolen mis- thunder
