ATHENS, FBI DAY, JAN. 18, IH50.
FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, Jan. 5.
We are now looking for the responses of
the Legislative bodies in Hie Northern
States, to the resolutions of the Slate Leg
islature of the Souih. on iie subject of
Isvery. The message ol Governor Fish,
of New-York, now commands attention,
because he is supposed to represent the
sentiments, not only oNie Whig party ol
New-York, but also a very large portion
of . the Democratic party of ,l,e Empire
State. Ii commands attention, also, be
cause New-Yoik is the most populous of j
the States, and ihe most influential ol nil
the Northern States; a State loo, which
tolerated slavery, until within some twenty
years, and whose earlier settlers, the Dutch,
re entitled to the credit, lor being the first
importers of slaves from Africa into the A
tnerican colonies. Governor Fish's mes
sage is moderate in its lone, but it claims,
on political grounds, an exclusion ol slave
ry from California, and other portions of
Northern Mexico, and it asserts that the
people or the Empire Stale, are opposed
, to the extension ol slavery into the newly
acquired territories. The Message in fact
asserts, thai under no circumstances will
he assent of the people of New York be
given, to the extension of slavery into these
territories, from which it is now excluded.
have no doubt that similar sentiments ,
itul in a manner less conciliatory, will be
Expressed by all the Northern Legislatures.
But it is to be noticed that no Governor
ora Northern State, and no Legislature ol
a Northern State will undertake to say, thai
livery is to be abandoned in the District
b! Columbia, or that ihe internal traffic in
and transportation of slaves should he pro.
hibited. or that the constitutional provision
for the arrest and recovery of fugitive slaves
ahall be annuled.
The prospect is, that Congress will not
legislate at all, upon these subjects, at this
aession. Cor. Char. Cour.

the Register of the Treasury for the last
fiscal year, it is shown that the value of
goods and wares imported into the United
States for the last year, ending 30th of June,
was 8147,857,457. The exports amounted
to the large sum of 8145,755,820. The
1 domestic exports alone reached Ihe sum of
$132,666,955. Our exports to England
amounted to 869,101,992, or nearly one
half of the entire exports of the country.
Two-thirds neatly of ihis amount were ex
ported in American vessels. In addition to
this, we sent to Scotland exports in value
33,549,960. Ireland 83.916.312, British

Mil. COBB AND THE COMMITTEES.
The Washington correspondent of ihe N.
York Tribune, has the following statement
in reference to the dissatisfaction felt by
Mr. Cobb's friends, in relation to the or.
ganizalion of some of the Committees:
"The Speaker of the House ol repre
sentatives has created more dissatisfaction
among his own party friends from ihe
South, in the lormation he has given sev
eral ol his Conimiitees, than has yet been
expressed by any ol the Whii'S."
The appointment of three notorious Abo
liiionisisGiddinas, Allen and Hoot, on Ihe
three important coiiiniiiie' s ol th- Judicia
ry, Territories and D:lru:l of Columbia,
surprised us not a lime, and we have been
patiently wnitins to see what the organs of
the democracy at the South, who have been
so vociferous in their nflecied devotion to
the South, would say on the subject. But
as yet, no murmuring of discontent has
escaped ihe:n some even of the most
blustering, have expressed themselves per
fectly satisfied Willi t lie constitution of the
committees.
This is not at all strange to uo, for we
have long been satisfied that these brawling
demagogues only sought to make political
capital out of the slavery question; hence
any act performed by a Demociat must be
ncquieed in silently if not approvingly;
while il a Whig had been guilty of th"
same act. the thunders of their denuncia
tions would reverberate through the country
lor months. No term of invective or re.
prone Ii would he too strong to have I
rpplied lo a Whig Speaker who hail con
stituted those rommi'iees as Mr. Conn Iris.
It may be that the intelligent nu n ol the
South may beguiled yet n Imle longer with
the hypocritical professions of these dem
agoaues, who nfleci such devotion to her
rights and institutions, hut we greatly
mistake the tone of public sentiment if
their career is not a short one.
The Free Banki.no System The
Siate of Tennessee, it would seem, is about
to adopt the Free Banking system, now in
operation in this Stale. The outline of the
system is stated as follows:
An association of person", or a single one,
purchases 100,000 or more of Stale slock.
This is deposited with a f. ommiisi.ir.er of
Comptroller, appointed for the purpose,
who shall cause to be ensraved and prin
ted at ihe expense of the party npplyins,
notes of the nature of bank notes to the
amount of said stock, (in some projects
only 90 percent, of such stock,) counter
sinned by himself", and lo he signed by the
officers of ihe bank wherp the same nre
payable. Then follow various provisions
ofspcutity. The advantases to the banker
is as follows; He draws his interest on
the State stock deposited, say 5 per cent.,
and loans nut the notes based on this slock
at 0 or 7 per cent. sufficient lo hear ex
penses of banking home, officers, &e,
The security lo the note holder is, that the
Comptroller will be always able lo pay the
whole issue in State or U. S. stock, the
law so euardins P""ttl a nreater
issue than is provided for by il. This sys
tem, while it is the most saTe of any yet
devised for the note holder, is more profit
hie lo the banker, and more hrneficinl to
the country, by making Ihe State stock a
safe circulating currency capital for Ihe
business of the tieople. The Tennessee bill
provides a payment ol 25 cents on every
8100, for school purposes in lieu of every
other State lax.
Mission or the Wiiio Partv. We
copy the following sentiments, which nre
as just as they are happily expressed, from
iIip Oifdensbtirg Forum;
"The mission of the Whig partv is
identified with the high hopes and aspira
tions of the great intellects of llie age. It
embrace-a those thought and sentiments
which burn in the bosom of patriots and
nhilanlhrotiists. Improvement. "Eccel-
sior," is their motto. They seek to de
vdope tbe natural resources of our soil, to
facilitate social intercourse and commerce
by improvements in communications; to
pimuoie the advancement of skill and in
dustry by suitable protection and encour-gemr-m;
to expand the human mind by
ample lacilitiei for acquiring knowledge
and llie protection of bis rights in life, lib
erty and properly. And, fcllow-cilizens,
ire not these objects worthy of your seri
ous regard and attention worthy of the
name you inherit of the ancestry you
boast? If tuey are, give them your sup
port, and let it not be said that any personal
disappointments or private griefs have
alienated or even cooled the ardor of a
Whig elector.
We saw a chap on Thursday morning,
a sir der. dangling, pale face boy, about
10 years of age, standing inside a sugar
hogshead, hands in pocket, and licking Ihe
sides of the hogshead. He look H decided
ly cool, nol caring for passers-by, so that
he was not molested. He was oae of 'em.

'COME AND LET US REASON TO
GETHER." I take no part in the general question of
the relative claims of either of the three
sections of ihe State. My purpose is to
show that it is the duty of all to aid each
other, that they have a common interest,
and that instead of creating burdensome
taxation, a judicious system of internal im
provement will increase the wealth and
resources of the Snite. I have made East
Tennessee my study, and proposed lo illus
trate my views in tefrrence to that section,
because the same lacts are, to some extent,
applicable to Middle and West Tennessee.
II iheir proilueijors are ni-. the t.noe, ihe
same fnds are more or less applicable to
the condition of each.
The agricultural products of Ea t Ten
nessee, suited loa foreign markn, are chiel
ly corn, wheat, beef and pork. The re
turns of the census of 1810 cive as the an
nual product 10,20!),08 bushels of corn;
1,341,713 bushels of wheat; 21 3, 1 7.5 neat
