WAsHrsor0S, Jan. 7, 1851.
In view Of the TO the country that the sert
ment of Kentucky for secession is paramount
Quessd to state, by Mr. Noore representative of the
Ninth Congressional district OF that State, that such Ia
rot the fact with reference TO his district He has re
ceived letters from the leading it, and resolutions
passed meetings in dileren counties Of his dis
trct all in favor Of the Cnon and expressing the opn
ion that whatever grievances Kentucky OF any other
state IN the South may have, be healed better inside
than outside Of the Union, and when redress cannot
be obtained within the Union, il win be time enough
to go out.
Among the letters received by Mr.. Moore is one from
Mr. Cox who represented the district in the Thirty
fourth Congress- breathing the strongest Union serti
neats. Mr.. Cox says
have no doubt the result will be resolution the
part OF the people Of large majority OF the Southern
states to stand firm by the Union and constitution until
time shall be given Northern brethren consider OF
their duty in this trying crisis.
Mr. Moore received series OF resolutions, adopted at
meeting Of the citizens Of Maysvie in his district
Of which to the effect that secession is the remedy for
no evil but would aggrayate all the grievances Of which
we complain.
The remarkable fact presented in the House this after
noon in its action supporting the conduct Of Mr. Buchanan
in sustaining Major Anderson in that every republican
voted for the President and every democrat, except
few anti. seeessionists, voted against him.
The refusal of the House today suspend the rules TO
admit series Of resolutions offered by Mr. Etheridge
embracing substance the proposition agreed upon by
the Border State Committee, is viewed by OF the
Onion men Of the South q bad omen. Besides, the
adoption Of the resolution supporting the policy Of Mr.
Buchanan in sustaining Major Anderson is viewed
decara ion in favor Of coercion.

TIE DUTY ON SUGAR.

The Abolition papers continue to be exceedingly
distressed because the Congress at Washington
does not remove the duty on sugar. They are call
ing for it loudly, under the impression that it viii
ruin Louisiana, and thus her to repent of her
secession, and make her glad to get back under
the protection as they call it, g of the national
fag.n We have before shown how absurd this ex-
pect&tion is, but that does not deter the Northern
press from still harpng on the subject, as witness
the following from the Chicago Tribune
We do not see that any progress is being made
by the gentlemen in Congress who propose to
abolish the duties on sugar; nor do we see that
Louisiana, fed and pampered by those duties which
come mainly from the people OF the North, is any
less insolent and outrageous than South Carolina
The line of Republican obligation in the premises
seems to be plain. Protective duties sugar are
an absurdity when Louisiana is trying 10 do her
best. When she is biting the hand that imposes
them, they rise TO the dignity of a crime. Let US
have them abolished.
Ii the duty on sugar is F" crime, . it is one
which puts about five millions of dollars annually
into the Northern Treasury-and if they can get
along without that sum, when they have neither
money nor credit, and heavy obligations maturing
every day, they are welcome to try the experiment
The folly of appealing to the selfish interests of
Louisiana, in crisis like the present, is strongly
exposed in the following brief article from the
Charleston Mercury:
The Northern press and politicians are more as.
founded at the secession Of Louisiana than of any
other State. Why? Because she had protection
FOR her sugar. 1t would seem that these people
have no conception of the reality of any virtue
among men; that they have no faith in the higher
incentives Of humanity; and fancy that States,
cities, whole people, are, like themselves, in the
market to be bought, each at certain price. The
greed of gain seems to have eradicated from their
souls every sentiment of patriotism, virtue honor
Eptide of character aud love of liberty. They are
delivered TO u uniform baseness of MOTIVE of the
| appetite, treachery in society, and knaYery in
| notifies
