the presentation Of the resolutions Of the Ne,
Jersey Legislature, sustaining the Compromis
In the course Of his remarks, MIR. Giddings, tn
: Ohio free soiler, launched out into TRADE OF a
buse against the South, and all S. uthern an
Northern men, who dsapprove Of his pecuia
notions. On one or two points, however, all uH
biased persons must agree with him--and that j:
that great deal of time was useessly expende'
in debating measures daring the last session, an
that but little is likely to be done by the presen
Congress, prior TO the nominations for the Presi
dency. But the Ohioan neglected TO mention on
fact, and that is, that he has wasted as much,
not more time IN unnecessary talk Than any othe
member. His garruliiy is proyerbial, and, lik,
Abby Kelly, he seldom permits anybody TO get
word in edgewise. MIR. Stan'ey replied to Mr.. G
who in turn pronounced the assertion of Mr.. S. 4
be false. From this point most violent persona
argument arose, IN which both speakers, as wei
as numerous other members Of The House nppea
to have been unusually excited. although the tall
was entirely confined TO the Ohioan and Norti
Caroinian. Although MIR. Stan'ey may possibly
have got rather the best of the argument, he de
cidedly got the worst so far as malicious abuse i
concerned Such proceedings are eignoI dis
grace to the nation, and will be deprecated b,
every gentleman.
The Cass and Buchanan men in Philadelphia
appear TO have had rather an exciting time Oh
Thursday afternoon, on the occasion Of their as.
sefnbling in County Convention, for the purpose
OF nominating delegates to the Baltimore Conven-
ton. After the selections had been made, the
chairman of the Convention, who is said 10 hG VIC
been among the minority, declared a.proposition
- be rried nstrlc ns The delegates to vote ia the
State Convention In ia vor of Buchanan scene
of great confusion ensued, and the officers effected
their escape through q back window-,he chair
| L., La. Il, r
hind him. What is styled the ma jority after.
wards reorganized, and unanimously adopted a
resolution in favor Of Cass. The Presidential
question is really beginning to assume an extra
ordinary and exciting appearance in Pennsyl-
vania.
| On reference TO the movements OF kossuth, it
will be seen that the Western people pefectly
uproarious with excitement. At The festival OF
the Hungarian Society at Columbus, Ohio, a res
olution was passed enjoining Congress 10 declare
that this country would hereafter interfere in any
war where despots undertook TO crush n people
who were struggling for freedom Money still
continues 10 pour into the Hungarian fund, and
the Magyar will soon be rich enough to retire TO
some other field. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
he will expend portion of the funds he has rais-
ed, in relieving the wants Of his distressed coun-
tymen who are wandering over the country,
without vicfuals or rament.
| In the distribution Of the property Of the late
King, Louis Napoleon has again displayed his cx-
traordnary tao, and power of pleasing. Indeed
all his movements indicate that the laws Of France
are concentrated in him alone; and nc rules,
without opposition, the acts the property and the
minds Of the people. Ii will be observed that
the Liverpool cotton market was quite firm on the
24ih, the day Of the Europa's sailing, and prices
a shade dearer than they had been IN the earlier
part Of the same week.
Caravajal and his followers are said 10 be in
very destitute condition, and there is no probabl-
lty that they will again attempt to revolutionIzc
northern Mexico. At last accounts, the revou-
tionists were encampcd on the borders of Texas,
and Gen. Harney had sent detachment Of Uni
ted States troops to arrest the whole squad
The recently attempted revolution in Chill, by
General Cruz, disappointed candidate in the
Presidential election, was suppressed on the Sth
Of December last, in battle at Longomila in
which Cruz was defeated BY General Bulres. The
republic was quiet the 26tl Of that month, and
Mon'i the President, remained undisturbed in
his office.
| The medal in honor Of the Hon. Henry Clay,
was presented to the great crater on Monday. Mr.
Cay's speech, and a description Of the medal will
be found elsewhere.
The creditors of Texas will no doubt be pleas
ed to learn that the bill providing fer the pa yment
Of the debts Of the late republic, had been en-
crossed in the Legislature. All the debts now
recognized as ''second Glass; and such OF the
"frst class" as have not been hitherto provided
for, will be Internationally paid. The bill also
provides that the remainder Of the debt shall be
paid as soon as the Secretary Of the United
States Treasury has issued to Texas the five mil
lions of stock withheld under the act Of 1850
| A mass meeting Of the temperance ladies was
held in Philadelphia Saturday evening, for the
purpose Of discussing the merits of the Maine law.
New York, and one two Of the other Eastern
States, having set the ant-liquor ball in motion,
j, is likely to be kept rolling in the West until it
has crossed the Rocky Mountains, and buried IL
self in the waters of the Pacific.
! Chevelier Hulsemann, the Austrian Charge
has actually Withdrawn from tins country and
gone to Havana. So says dispatch from New
Orleans.
| We observe that the four free negroes, hailng
from Massachusetts, who were receRtly convicted
for attempting to al duct slave from Texas, were
sold into bondage, because they were unable to
pay their fines Thus, the abo!itionis,s prevail
upon simple minded persons to- violate the laws,
aud then, rather than put their hands in tbeir
pockets and assist in getting their deluded victims
out Of trouble by paying their fines, they stand
aloof and allow them TO be sold into slavery.
This is fair specimen Of abolition philan-
thropy.
The Senate Of Rhode Island has passed the
Maine liquor law, with proviso that the final
decision Of the question is to be submitted to the
people. Perhaps it would meet with the appre-
baton Of majority ofthe voters Of this State, il
their legislators should follow the example Of their
Rhode Island contemporaries, prior to pcrfecins a
law for the total suppression Of the liquor naf-
fc. All classes would be pleased to have an
universal expression Of public opinion on this
matter
Samuel Williams, the colored man charged
with being concerned in the riot and murder at
Chrisiiana, was on Thursday acquitted in the
circuit court at Philadelphia
| Gov. FOo,e has declined being candidate for
the Senatorship from Mississippi.
A new Wing Senator was elected in Washing
ton county, Mary land, Thursday. Parties are
now tied in the Senate Of that State.
Hon. w. A. Richardson; Of Illinois, has been
nominated for the Presidency by theidemocrats Of
Dublin County, N. C. They have also nomina-
Ted Judge Robert Strange, Of their own State, for
Vice President.
! Two men have been arrested at Philadelphia
on suspicion Of having been concerned in the
butchery Of young Lehman, the Jew pedlar. Some
