In referepceeto the proposition for the re-
vivsl Of the Slave Trade, we believe the
Union 10 entirely correct, when it expresses
ito belief, that IF there were any mode Of TAX
ing he sentiment Of the country, the South
wo uld be found to be even more averse to
tho measure than the N:rh. TIE South,
" hieh has never shown itself actuated by the
auri sacra James, could never consent to in.
fest their community With troops Of wild and
ri bbering negroes, for the sake of profits,
which they would not avail themselves Of
oven if they had them at command. If, con-
trary to all probability or even possibility,
{ hs proposition were ever seriously brought
forward in Congress, to reopen the slave
trade, we are entirely confident that tie
ira f6e would ogain receive even more IN
compromising opposition from the South
than from the North. just as it did while the

The Treasury Department has applied to
Congress for new Loan. In the Senate, on
Wednesday. the VICE PRESIDENT laid before
the Senate a communication from the Score
tary of the Treasury in relation to the pre-.
sent condition Of the finances; which was re-
ferred to the Committee on Finance. The
Secretary recommends that authority be
given to the department to supply any def
ciencies that may arise in meeting the de-
mands upon the treasury for an additional
loan not exceeding fifteen millions Of dollars,
to be negotiated for period not more than
ten years, at rate of interest not exceeding
six per cent. He also says that be does not
recommend any measure for increased taxa
ton; that it would be unuise at this time to
attempt q modification Of the tariff Of 1857 +,
for the reasons given in the annual report to
Congress; that sufficient time has not elapsed
to test the effects OF this act upon the reven-
ne. considering the condition of the COUNTRY
duriUg the period of its operation; that neith-
er the receipts nor expenditures OF the gov.
ernment should be estimated for the future
upon the basis Of it's present receipts and ex-
penditures, since the former have been, and
still are, too seriously affected BY the late re-
vulsi>n tn justify policy Of Legislation based
upon probable continuance of this state Of
things for any considerable period of time
The Secretary further expresses the opinion
that in order to meet the current expendi-
lures, it is not prudent to rely upon the re.
ceipts iuto the treasury, estimated upon the
rapid revival OF trade and business.

The Savannah Republican contains a phil
osophical disquisticr upon the difference be-
tween the Democracy and their opposition
brethren Of he South. 1t says it has often
been puzzled to account for the fact that eve
~ movement in tie South, whether with the
press or the people, in opposition to our ma
tional Union, has sprung from the ranks Of
the Democratic party. Can it be, it asks,
that the individuals who engage in these hos.
tile movements against the union are wiser
more learned IN the science of government
and political economy more attached to, or
interested in, Southern institutions--moI
jealous of right or sensitive TO dishonor, than
others Of their fellow citizens who were born
under the same bright sky, reared under the
same roofs, educated in the same schools,
and who have worshipped at the same altar?
That being impossible, whence, then, springs
this singular and marked discrepancy between
the men OF the South? We sutjoin it's an
swer:
ain our judgment it can only arise from
some innate, radical, and powerfully diffusive
principle of destructiveness in Democracy IL
Seif-a principle OF restlessneSs, aud change,
that makes prejudice or sef-will the govern.
ing principle, aud not those holier rules OF
seli-denial, cheerful submission to law, and
reverence Tor what IS right, Iuculcated alike
by divine Injunction and the dictates Of
conservative policy. IL is the lack of a
mighty balance wheel that turns loose the
party, restless and unrestrained, to work out
the purposes OF the hour, without regard to
the means employed, or the consequences to
ensue."

was rewarded, as such perseverance, always
Is, when he moved that the enactIDs clause
Of the bill be stricken out in order that

another State, raiscd a point of order, that
it was not competent Tor the Committee
Of the Whole to appoint committee either
to wake up o sleeping member, or FOR the
accomplishment of any other purpose. 1t Is
needless to add that the point of order was
sustained; but, for all that, the OF ct which
the gentleman had in submitting his motion
was accom- !i,hed. The eyes OF the House,
together with those of the struggling specta

We have accounts of the adjournment of
what IL called the rs UTHERN COMMERCIAL
CONVENTION" recently held at Montgomery,
Alabama. To its praise, be it said, it pre-
vented the passage of some obnoxious reso-
lutions-but further than that, we are afraid,
nothing 10 its favor can justly be affirmed.
Considering what has passed, it may well
be doubted if these Conventions have not
done much more harm than good. Ger.
tainly, they have effected nothing practi-
cal for the benefit of the Southland the
pleasure Of social intercourse amongst the
members, is the only Offset for the exhibition
of divided oounsels, adverse views, and, iu
many Instances, mischievous debate. 1t is
very manifest, too, that, regularly, spirit
adverse to the union Of the States is display
cd BY some Of those who attend these meet
logs, creating distrust as to the objects con-
templated. No wonder, then, that in the
South generally. and. in Virginia especially,
public sentiment is beginning to express it.
self against the necessity or propriety OF
holding any moro "Southern Conin'rrcirl
Conventions" 1t is seen that they neither
propose nor effect measures suitable for the
wants Of the times in the South. We have
no doubt, bot that q majority Of their mem.
bers are actuated by patriotic views, and
desire to do something for the benefit Of the
public. Bot, it is, also, beyond doubt,
that. hitherto, they have failed 10 fulfil their
own wishes, or realize the expectations Of
the people. It would be as we'll, therefore,
il, by general consent, it should be deter
m ined that We have seen the last of these
annusl convocstiops-or, at least, that they
shcsld not again assemble unless under diff
isrsnt auspices. Of different materials, and
for tho accomplishment of some specified and
universally approved object.
