Distinguished Compliment from " High Quarter.
The annexed resolutions adopted with vocifer-
ous applause at the late large and enthusiastic Black
Republican State Convention of New Jersey:
"Res0lUed, That of the best fruits of this Gre
monts) triumph will be the removal from the minds
Of Southern men of an enormous prejudice against
the North; that it will sustain and Justify such
Southern patriots Houston, Bates and Bolts that
the South will then see that the North is only resis
ting a monstrous W: Ong, and seeking nothing but
what is strictly right; that consequently the brother
hood of the North and South, destroyed now by pro-
slavery demagogues, will be reestablished that
peace and friendship shall be restored that the
North will commit aggression and the South at
tempt no secession that it will be proved, in the
language of Mr.. Bates, that it is a SANDER and cal
jimmy upon the South to predict that it will not sub.
NIT 10 Fremonts election and that good men every
wherein the South no less than the North, the
East and the West-wll join with the patriotic
Houston in paying to the chosen chief magistrate of
the people the tribute of their respectful homage"
We congratulate Messrs. Houston, Bates and Bolts
the high and mered compliment which the above
resolution bestOWs on them. There be little
question that each deserving only of every fat
tering verbal notice which be given them by the
Black Republicans, but that they are all entitled to
substantial endorsement OF silver for their dstin-
gushed services IN behalf of Abolition.
If Judas IsCariot entitled to his thirty pieces
for his betrayal of Christ if Arnold earned his thous-
and pounds sterling for his reacherous surrender of
West Point, then have Bolts, Bates and Houston
more than worked for as much reesoil gol! as each
of them can carry that is to say if the amount paid
to be estimated by the zeal, and ardOr and audaci
y which they have each displayed N their labor OF
treason. We are forced 10 say, however, that if the
quantity is to be measured by the amount of service,
each will faro very badly for never were three men
more utterly mPOent for harm than Bolts, Bates and
Houston. Long since each have been nailed up
sign posts at the South and the bare mention of their
has invariably suggested the kissing epithe of
traitor Modern Catalines, of the darkest hue each
would sell his country or betray his God either for

Arrival of the Bark ResOlute at the Navy Yard.
Her Appearance and Destination.
It will be remembered that among the closing pro-
Ceedings of the Congress which has just adjourned,
in grateful contrast with the scenes of excitement
and violence which marked lis whole session, joint
resolution adopted to purchase the bark Reso-
Lutte, which formed part of the last British exploring
expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, and which
was found abandoned at sea- and subsequently towed
into the harbor of New London, and to present her to
the British government.
This grateful act of international courtesy, which
met the cordial approval of the whole nation has
been partially carried into effect by the purchase of
the vessel, which reached the Navy Yard this morn
ing, having been lowed from New London by the
steam tug Archiles She lies at one of the wharves
of the yard, and is well worthy of visit from those
who are interested in the architecture and external
appearance of vessels of this class
The Resolute is a vessel of about 500 tons burthen
Of heavy built and substantial appearance She has
been constructed evidently for service rather than
for speed, and seems 10 have amp y justified the
pectations of her builders The eye looks in vain
for those lines of grace and beauty which mark the
clear ofour trim clipper ships-al is square, SOL
ID and strong.
In addition to her heavy outer planking, she is
provided with guards and an extra planking from
stem TO stern and over her bows which meet the full
force of the fields of ice through which she was o.
biged 10 pass, there was laid and additional thick
ness.
On board of the vessel everything is on equal
scale of strength and durability. Al present. howeV
er the appearance OF the masls, spars, and rigging
is dilapdated in the extreme, nothing having appar
emily been done to her since she was brought into
New London.
The deck covered with coils Of cable chains spars
and all the paraphernalia of Ship and through the
hatchways may be the cabins in almost the
same state of confusion in which they aband-
Oned by the crew. Various articles OF clothing, seal
skin boots, half burned candle ends cooking utensils,
&c, &c, are scattered here and there in confusion
The vessel having been purchased by the govern
nen is first to be empted of lis contents, thorough
y cleaned, painted, and Eeftted and then presented
to the British Government. force of men are &C
cOTdngly busily occupied in removing her stores
and dismantling her.
The repairs, it is supposed, will occupy about
three months after which, under the command OF
Lieutenant Hartstein, who accompanied DR.. Kane
On his last expedition to The Arctic seas, she will
proceed to England.
