A Sensible Conclusion.

The London Times, the former organ of the
Exeter Hall negrophilists has been led by the
results of the experiments which have been
tried, to the conclusion that the negro is in
capable Of selfgovernment that slavery is
his natural and fereordained condition, and that
in no other does he reach the highest point o.
civilization and mental improvement which
he is capable of attaining. It observes in a
recent article, that +" floods of pathetic elo-
quence and long years of Parliamentary
struggling taught the English people to imagine
thntthe.world was made for Sambo,' and adds:
: aThe negro is lazy anigal without any
foresight, and therefore requiring to be led and
compelled--he is decidedly inferior, very little
raised above mere animal" He is "yoid
of self-reliance and is the creature Of circum-
fitted to take care Of him
self-has no care for to-morrow-has no de-
sire for property strong enough to induce him
to labor--lives from hand to mouth. In ia
maica emancipation has thrown enormous
tracts of land out of cultivation, and on these
the negro squats, getting all that he wants
with very little trouble, and sinking in the
most resolute fashion back to the savage state"

Republican Dissatisfaction about the
Spoils--Haskin and Hickman's Share
The Government Funds.--Naval
Pay--Democrati Caucus, &c.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13-Dissatishction is
expressed by many Republicans in respect to
to the amount of patronage bestowed upon
their new allies.
Mr. Haskin, they say, gets Craftsmanship
of committee; gets a clerkship under Col.
Forney; gets place under the door-keeper,
and also half of the binding for Alexander, Of
New York. Mr.. Hickman is reported as
having secured like positions, save and except
any portion of the binding spoils l hear
that George Harrington is appointed clerk Of
the Republican campaign committee.
1t is stated that Mr.. McLane will not return
to Mexico even if the treaty negotiated by
him be ratified.
The balance in the treasury on the first oil
preceding, was 5 100000.
1t is estimated at the Navy Department
that S3500OO a year would cover the increase
of expense which would arise from the pas
sage Of Mr. Mallory's bill increasing the pay
of the navy.
Several Democratic Senators were not at
the adjourned caucus held yesterday, with a
view to adopt resolutions upon slavery issues
which should be supported as a party meas

Mr.. Salisbury moved that it was inexpedi-

supported, hear, by Senators Clingman and
Toombs who were opposed by Messrs. Gwin,
Bright, Fitch and Lane. Mr.. Douglas oppos-
ed the adoption OF any resolutions in advance
of the meeting of the Charleston Convention
declared for the Cincinnati platform without
change, and argued against legislation in rela-
ton to slave property in territories precedent
to any action of the Supreme Court. AS to
the power of the territorial legislature most of
the Senators said nothing. The resolutions
were finally referred to committee Of five.

Hon. Jefferson Davis's Resolutions

The resolutions offered by Mr.. Davis il
the U. S. Senate, declaratory of the rights o.
the Southern States in the territories, and o
the Constitutional obligations of the Federal
Government in relation thereto, are attracting
much attention and very general commenda,
ton throughout the South. If accepted by
the Northern Democracy, they will form q
basis or common action for the party, NORTH
and South, in the approaching Presidential
contest. If rejected the fact will be demon
strated that it is divided by sectional lines, and
can no longer act in unison for COMMON pur-
pose. We are anxious to see an expression Of
sentiment in the Senate.
A correspondent Of the Huntsville Gala
Democrat writes:
The resolutions, introduced by the Hon.
JEFF. Davis in the Senate last week, will be
discussed to-day. These resolutions cover
the whole Democratic doctrine on the subject
of slavery in the Territories They will, no
doubt, form the basis Of the Charleston Plat
form, and command the support of the party.
If the Senate acts affirmatively on them, Mr..
Douglas will have "the wind taken out of his
sails in manner wonderful to behold On
the question of Congressional protection to
slave property in the Territories, they are I'M
equivocal, and could not be better expressed.
After asserting the duty of the federal gov
eminent to afford to slave, as to other proper
ty, the needful protection, the fourth resolu-
ton ends as follows: "and if experience
should, at any time, prove that the judiciary
does not possess power to insure adequate pro-
lection, it will then become the duty of Con-
gress to supply such deficiency"

A conditions upon which the States united

Union would never have been formed. The
States most interested in slavery, having
achieved their liberties, and obtained an ac-
acknowledgements Of their separate independence
and sovereignty from the crown, would have
formed a compact for their mutual protection
and safety, and left the others to provide such
q government as they might have deemed ex-

lance of this provision Of the Constitution,
both as matter ofprinciple, and in its practical
effects, that Mississippi in 1851, speaking in
her sovereign capacity, declared that failure
to execute it would justify her in dissolying
her existing relations with the faithless MEM
bers of the confederacy. .
Not less than two-thirds Of the non-slaye-
