Congress are very brief On the 9th, Mr..
GUTHRIE, Of Kentucky, moved for the ap.
pointment Of committee of one from each
State, to be selected by the delegates there
of, upon whom is to devolve the duty of
reporting plan of adjustment. This reso-
luton was supported, in powerful speeches,
by GUTHRIE, of Kentucky; R1vEs, of Vir-
GINA; CHASE, of Ohio; Judge RUFF1N, of
North Carolina SELDOM, of Virginia and
others. 1t was unanimously adopted. The
following is the Committee. The Herald
says majority are against any plan satis>
factory to the South:
Guthrie, Ky. Chairman. johnson. Maryland.

One of the most profitable branches
of manufactures in New England lis the
shoe trade. A great portion of this bust.
ness is carried on with the South, and no
small part Of it is the supply purchased for
the use of the slaves. By the returns for
the year 1860, of the extent ofthe business,
it appears there has been great falling off,
in consequence Of the political troubles in
which the country is involved. The num-
Der of cases OF shoes, and the value thereof,
sent from the New England States for the
years 1859 and 1860, were as follows:
Cases. Value.
1862. .7l79 91 $3I, $4,000
1860. ,047 20, 1887 lis
Decrease. .s4,s44 $2,s22, 4SO
Here we have falling off in one year of
nearly three millions of dollars in one
branch alone of Northern industry, upon
which we may base some calculation of
what the decrease must be in the manufac-
ture of cotton goods, iron, machinery and
other departments. In the face of facts
like these, it is no wonder that reaction
OF sentiment has taken place in the Eastern
States-that abolition meetings and John
Brown Qualifications are broken up by the
people, and Union meetings and anti.coer-
cion assemblages ARE enthusiastically sus-
taired.
- The note of preparation has already
commenced for the spring elections in New
England. In New Hampshire the Democ-
racy have nominated for Governor, General
GEO. SrARKE, grandson of JOHN and
MOLLY STARKB, of glorious revolutionary
memory. The Republican candidate is W.
S. BERRY, an old line abolitionist. If the
opposition to BERRY can be concentrated
upon SrARKE, it is believed that be will be
elected. In the second Congressional dis
trict, the Democrats have nominated for
Representative, S. D. BELL, Chief Justice
of the State-a man eminent for his Iearn-
ing, integrity and patriotism.
The Democratic State Convention met
at New Haven on the 9Th, and nominated
for Governor, Gen. j. G. LOOMS; and A.
G. HAZARD for Lieutenant Governor. The
following is synopsis of the resolutions
adopted
They maintain that the Uuion is confeder-
alton of sovereign and independent States, and
that any trenching on their equality is a viola.
ton of the Constitution; that the present Con-
dition of the country is owing to the sectional
spirit of great Northern party: that the doc
trine of coercion, instead of cancellation, is per-
nicious, and should be resisted, as leading to
civil war, and the destruction of the moral and
commercial interests of the people, and will
destroy the Union and prevent its reconstruc-
ton; and that the Crittenden compromise, or
something like it, will harmonic opinions.
