To HIS EcceUency, Governor of the State Of -
Sir--I have the honor to transmit to you the
joint resolutions passed by the Legislature of the
State of Texas, approved February 10th, 1853.
believe the occasion contemplated by the outions
has arrived.
The present agitation throughout the country,
and particularly in the South, arising from the
election of a President and Vice President, upon a
sectional issue, calls, in my opinion, for the calm
deGberation of statesmen. The assembling of del
egates from sovereign States, in a consultative
character, and within the scope of their constitu-
tional powers, to preserce the equal rights Of such
States an the Union," may result in the adoption of
such measures will restore harmony between the
two sections of the Union. With this hope | com
mend the inclosed joint resolution to your consid
eration and should such convention be called, |
WILL upon the receipt of information as to the time
and place of its assembling, Immediately order an
election for seven delegates to represent Texas in
the same.
| have the honor to be your obedent servant.
(Signed) SAM HOUsToN.

SERMON AT THE CAPITOL. The Washington State .
of yesterday evening says:
The sermon at the Capitol yesterday by the Rev.
DR.. Thomas II. Stockton was attended by great
numbers of persons of both sexes filling the seats
on the floor and ali the galleries. The preacher
alluded in most pathetic manner to the existing
state Of affairs in nation, and deprecated sadly
the ilfeeing between the different sections of
contederacy. So strong were the Union sentiments
which he expressed that several members of Con-
gress rose and left the Hall.

think, on the whole, it would be better to gst
rid of the canals by public sale than 10 n.
tain them as source of continual corrupHsa.
and to plunge the State into an abyss of endless
debt accumulated by compound interest II
pander to the fanatical spirit of the Sabbath
rians or their representatives,, and to gain Asis

sure Of the closing Of the canals on Sunday y
to be brought forward and supported with -
most hypocritical zeal.

lobby are 10 deeply interested, will also be q
the Legislative tapis. Last session the Asssu-
bly, was made call right" but the obstinaey q
three or four conscientious Senator's feore1
the measure in the Senate. This session, how
ever, it is expected it wiN be carried triumph
antIy in both houses. The "Broadvsw
Railroad" Is the grand trunk line Of ~
scheme. That is to be carried, either h
the shape Of parallel" Broadway ra1-
road, or under the pretence of its beinx
a railroad to "Yonkers." The law of 1854
declares that the Common Council shall nos
permit the construction of railroad In any q
the streets or avenues, If it commences and
ends In the city. The plan, therefore, Of tho
operators is to say that the road will commence
in Westchester county, and thus evade the lay.
In connection with the Broadway swindle, by
which it is intended to enrich few men at the
public expense, there are several branches
ramifying Ia different directions, and these VIM

pangs, perhaps, in going forever from his
Plymouth Rock and his big elm trees, that
give shade but bear no fruit
The moral evil Of slavery, place 1t in what
light we please, 10 at least one not destructive
Of life, aor occasioning destitution of food,
while other evils-such az war, tornadoes,
earthquakes pestilence and famine--involving
absolute starvation, misery, and loss of life,
seem to excite no pity, no regret, in
the breasts Of these negro philanthropists.
Indeed, some Of them, seeing the utter inconais-
tency of their philosophy, and the difficulty
which is involved in selecting one part alone
Of the moral government Of the world a. the
theme Of their complaints, are obligedto ignore
the very existence Of God, and to reject the
Bible-His revelation--as fiction and false
hsod. Among those monomaniaos We may rank
Wendell PHILIPPE, Garrison, Emerson, Beecher,
Cheever, and their associate hotheads The actu-
almiseries Of lie, such as want Of food, offuel of
employment, against which industry and perse-
verance arc continually called to struggle, and
which make 20 many millions Of men unhappy
and desperate, the slaves OF this country never
know; and these evils are really at the bottom
Of all the disorders Of free populous States.
We sayit with reverence, that American slavery
Is practically the least of all the misfortunes
which beset eur mortal state. ~ The aboli-
tionists, II they are so philanthropic, take up
the poor, degraded outcasts Of the North, re-
store them to their FIRST estate, feed and clothe
them, and give them freedom of position, and
security for the grieis of life. Why deal for
ever in distractions whom they have before
their eyes q field of pure humanity to cultivate
and adorn!
What then, is the upshot Of this matters Is it
notclearly our duty to giveup these miserable
distractions and sophisms and do something
for the peace of our Jerusalem? Will bloody
social war remove slaverys-will the cut
ting of throats and the ravishing of
the wives and daughters of our Southern
neighbors give any relief to our country, or
silence our infdel abstractionists? Would the
liberation Of horde of ignorant and lawless
negroes benefit the North, or increase Its pros
perity and contentment?
Miserable and fallacious expectation! The
chaos which would follow such a measure no
man can anticipate or foresee The wretched
consequences would outstrip all calculation. Let
this question, then, be settled by the universal
cooperation Of our wise men, our religious
men, pure and simple, and our statesmen
Let us give full protection to the people
of the South in the enjoyment of their
slave property, particularly since there alone
it is valuable. Let us prevent by law all
future attempts such as have been made
by Brown, and let public opinion mark with
execration any man who, under any pretence
whatever, seeks to disturb the public tranquil
lily, a. guaranteed by the constitution and the
laws.

try is now in such condition that il espeoiaiiy
needs the services Of it's best men. Instead Of
that, we find at Washington set Of small poll
ticians squsbbling over prospective spells.
When the most utter chaos reigns In the House,
when there is no order, no dignity, no self re-
spect among the representatives Of the nation,
the best thing they can possibly do is to retire
into that obscurity from which they have
emerged only to cover their county with

PROPOSED DIssoLuTIoS OF CoNGREss.--In the
course of An extended and spirited speech de-
livered in the House by Mr.. Miles, of South
Carolina, ON Friday, he suggested that Con-
gress should be dissolved, after the manner Of
the British House of Commons, and that an ap-
peal shonld be taken to the people. This Is,
perhaps, the most sensible suggestion that has
been made since the turbulent mass meeting
which calls itself the House Of Representatives
came together Mt Washington. If the members
Of Congress should all resign and SO home to

WHAT Has BECOME OF THE ATLANTIC ISLE
eRArH.-u has been proposed by the friends Of
the Atlantic telegraph that the work upon il
should be RECOMMENDED during the coming sum-
mer, and Q new subscription Of stock
was commenced some time since in England.
Il il to be hoped that the enterprise-of the
ultimate success Of which there can be no
reasonable doubt-will be carried through
during the present year, when some otser
great lines viii be finished. The East Indian
line from London to Calcutta has already been
completed to Alden, on the Red Sea, and by
the LIST Of August the India Board at London
can hold hourly consultations with the Cover
nor.General at CALCUTTA, Bombay or Madras.
This line viii be speedily extended to China.
We are not behind hand in telegraphic
enterprises, and it is highly probable that be-
fore the next New Years day the telegraphic
line across this continent will be completed
by wire between San Francisco and St Louis.
With the Atlantic cable, we could then COM
plete the electric chain around the world, and
"put girdle round about the earth in less
than forty minutes"

and maintains the position that things innocent
in themselves shall not be permitted when
they lead to the injury Of others This alone is
freedom, and the freedom ofcivilization and Of
religion; it is the freedom ofchecks and balances,
and is worthless in any other form
The slavery which we zee in the Southern
States is precisely the result Of the necessity Of
restraint upon class too ignorant TO exercise
self control brought into this condition by q
foreign Power and against the wishes Of the
early colonists-upon class which has In
creased In Numbers from the very fact that
they are well fed and clothed, and have but
light labor TO perform. This is the principle
which governs the law Of population and gives
the lie to The doctrines Of the abolitioniss that
they are i'll treated and improperly governed
One Of the most considerable arguments
against the slave system is that 1t separates
families Is this separation peculiar to the
negro race? What do we see among ourselves
every day, and in the North Families are
continually breaking up and separating, never
perhaps to meet again. What American house
hold remains intact from youth to old age?
In what part Of the country more than in New
England, the hotbed of abolitionism, do we
witness this separation Of families, and gene
rally under the most pinching necessities and
an actual struggle for existence. Are the SEN
sibilities Of the negro greater than those Of the
white man! The former is sure Of subsistence and
comparative comfort, 60 where he may, while
