the United States to the reproucb of all civil,
ized and Christian people throughout the
world. ,
Objection was made to the introduction of
the resolution.
Mr. Etberitlge moved eutpension of the
rules.
Mr. Campbell, of OLlo, called for the yeas
end nay.
XI r. Walker asked whether, if the ITonse
(ball suspend the rides, it was the purpose of
Mr. Etheridge to more the previous question
on the adoption of the resolution to cut off
debute.
Mr. Etheridge replied that the resolution
contained as self-evident proposition, lie
' resumed a very gentleman had an opinion on
the subject, fie should not discuss it, but
would move the previous question.
Mr. Jones, of Tennessee, wauted Mr. Eth
eridge to leave out the argument ia the reso
lution, nod said he was as much opposed to
re-opening the African slave trade aa his col
league. lie was here called to order, the Speaker
laying dobate was inadmissible at the pres
ent time.
Mr. Jones, said be would Dot be gagged by
either the speuker or others.
Mr. Orr strove ineffectually to introduce a
substitute, simply resolving thut it is inexpe
dient to repeal the laws prohibiting the Afri
can slave trade.
Mr. Etheridge' motion to suspend the
rnlcs, in order to enable him to introduce his
resolution, wot then agreed to yeas 140
uays 53.
Messrs. Greenwood, McMullen, Smith of
Ya., Zollicolle..-, Burnett, Barksdale, and
Pbelps severally gave their reasous fur voting
in the negative, to the effect that, while they
were opposed to the opening of the Blave
trade, they thought the resolution out of cha
racter and ill timed.
Mr. 'helps said he was against the abstrac
tions of Governor Adams.
Messrs. Keitt and Oaruett remarked that
bad they been present, they would bare vot
ed in the negative.
Further explanations from tie Democratic
side were objected to by many members, amid
Cries of "order."

sustained by thirty-six mujority, und the
maiu question ordered by forty-one majority.
Mr. McQueen, moved to lay the resolution
on the table. Disagreed to reas 71, nays
139.
Mr. Etheridge' resolutiou was then adop
ted. Yeas 152, nays 57.
PROTEST AGAINST THE POLICY OF
SOUTH CAROLINA.
As we bare heretofore stated, the propo
iition of Governor Adams, of South Caroli
na, tore-open the slave trade, meets with
little favor in the slave States. The Eederul
Union, published at Millcdgeville, Gaorgiu,
speaks of the recommendation in the follow
ing manner:
"We do not believe a Governor of another
Southern State can be persuaded to make a
similar recommeodaliun. Tlio Southern
people have no more idea of reviving the
African slave trade than they have of admit
ting their plaves to the rights und privileges
of citizenship. A few men at the South are
unhappy and restless if they cannot keep the
Northern people in capitul, wherewith to
harass the more quiet end peace-loving of
their brelhern. The Southern people must
keep wide awake if they would save them
solves and the Union under which they live.
The suicidal hand is ready to do the work of
destruction."
The St. Louis Republican also nscs tha
following emphatic language :
'For one, we do not admit the right of
South Carolina or of Gov. Adams to lay
down a platform for the South. Missouri
does not admit it. Within a week we have
noticed in papers nf nil politics iu the State
n repudiation of South Curnlina politics. If
thnt commonwealth is fairly represented by
Gov. Adams, and is determined upon Fiieh a
policy as that disclosed by hi message if
Brooks, in bis recent crazy plat form, fore
shadows the measures to bo adopted by a
Southern party, to be gathered in every slave
State, then Missouri is not in the ring; or
rather South Carolina exiles her-elf from ti e
fifteen slave States of the South. Missouri
ran have no internet in supporting such a
system of labor a thut recommended by
Gov. Adano. On the contrary, her interests
ore plainly in maintaining the present order
of things among us. Missouri ran scarcely
respond with gravity to the proposition to
re-open the slave trade. Jler SOO.OUO peo
ple answer it with a scornful laugh. Or. if
they answer it gravely, it is by telling Sonth
Carolina that they stand by the declarations
of Congress, ni:d the slave trade is piracy,
and justly so declared, and thut we have no
Deed of its aid."
Lancaster Bank.
The following plan for the re-orgnnization
of the Lancaster Bank was unanimously adop
ted at a meeting of the Rtockholileis. held on
the 13th at Lancaster: "A capital of fc-iOO,-000

Having mislaid the "Gazette" of the 6th

(inc that the editor had attempted reply to
otir strictures cnth remotal of Mr. Dieffen
bach by the Canal Board, We say attempt
ed, because it amounts to nothing more. The
Oaiette says we ask the abolition of the

a. Thi is not the ce. We have
nothtjg o aay individually egainst Mr. Elliott

But the Oaxetto Vtrther add the follow
ing 'A to the dialogue Appended to out aessV

there is not a word of truth in it."
We have no doubt hntthat the Major, not

simple deniul was sufficient to igunraa state

We therefore repent, that every wcr.l to
that dialogue, is snli.tunti.illy true, und that
we m'ght, truthfully have added more. Our
information came from a source before whom
the Major dare not deny it
W might have added that the President
of the Board informed the Major, thut so far
as he was concerned, the appointments would
be made by the Board, and not by outsiders.
The Major may have been ollivio't. but that

Th Wreck of thg Schooner Niagara at Fart
Ilnp. Canada.
The wreck of thi. veseel on Wednesdny
last was attended . with loss of life nnder
singnlnrlv painful cirenmstance. In endeav
oring to make the harbor, she strnck on th
shoal to the fast of It, and immediately ca
reened over. It was blowing a terrific gut
it the time, and the frost wit to severe that
every rope glistened like so much crystal.
The 'hand first look belter nnder the bul
wark ou the quarter deck, but the were
oon carried away, and they were obliged to
take to the mainsail boom, which Wa liter-
e.lly covered with ic. Hundreds upon hun
dreds of people were looking rrotn the shore
at Point Hone, about two hundred yard
distant, nf the painful and desperate struggle
of the brave tars clinging to a spar a it wa
wnyed about by the storm and washed by
the"urf. At length a jolly boat, with Capt.
Wood, of tho Aunie Maude, of Port Hope,
Mo command, put out tyscue the freezing
, "and nurf.lieaten CrcW. "
A cheer rose from every Toice as the boat
gained the deep water, and was gallantly
cresting the wave to rearn itie ecliooner.
But after repeated nn almtwt superhuman
effort to bring the boat alongside, h wa
ohliued to abandon the at tempi, lest she
should be waiuiHd. or dashed to piece
uiraiust the veavl. Tear dimmed every eye
when the brave boat, which hud agata cud
again, until she wa very nenrly filled with
water, and wa literally covered with ice,
endeavored to "make fast," wa seen making
for lurid. Iho poor sailors, who were mo
tionless durinir the striieirle nf the boat to
reach theiu, again waved their hands from the
boom, for one last eff,irt to sav them. lUe
feelings of the hundreds of spectators at
this time nre wholly indiscriltnble.
in a short lime, however, another boat
with fresh crew put oat, a hi id cheers which
irnnielr minsled with the wild torm
Gloriously did they mount the w!l. whic'j
now threatened to sweep the pour sailors t8
the boom. Wave after wave they crested,
us beurU beat high that witnessed thel'.i, aud
as holies sunk and rixe a they disappeared
between and unon rose abovn the swell. At
length they reached the echoouer. and oue
vast rbeer was heard as they made fast to
the davit. The crew of the boat, with the
except ion of two men, climbed into th
schooner to help the half fioren tailors off the
boom. Une was baiMeil down ; but ere
second could be lowered, a feurful swell
al.ii'M bid the bout; another Cuine and she
.a,tiiLenicd, and the poor sailors who had
lioviijupl iKiudeil down to what was his l.ial
hope ol safety, wa the only me nf the three
that was ever see a. He rose, ctruggled with
the breakers, caught a rope, wus hauled on
the deck of the si lnioiier, and was iu a few
minute utterward frozen to deutu. A cry
ol despair nw re from every oue.
Thu brave crew of the boat were folded to
the crew of the schooner, and wilder and
wilder still raged the storm. Irom a point
of land above inn schooner, a scow was set
adrift, in the slender hnie that it might float
to her. It stranded in a few seconds after
wards. Front the Grand Trunk wharf, which
was to the windward, tin ir Ix'St boat wa
floated oT, but its fate wus like their hopes
it soon sunk. At last a brave old skipper
honor to hi nani and to hi l.eurt said he
would make one more effort to save them, or
he would perish in the attempt. Daring.
deerHt as was the resolve, bis bout was
manned by silor' aud fj.shermeu in a few
ie-comls. and llterallv. amid cheers and
nravers. they ivnsbed ber into the boiling sari

but she ninde little or no headway. Every
-nerve of the brave crew wa etrained, but
they could only defy thu aturni ? they could
uot giiiu npon'it. At last, a the crie of
t the rriewdo of Ikoffe who s we on hoard the
srhooiier were growing wihler on the beach,
ui.d the poor sailors were seeu freezing to
the hoom. there appeared a lull of a few
second", and one vabt effort hrought the bout
under the stern of the schooner.
A cheer rose from her crew. Men. women
und children, as they had all hut one heart,
broke out into a wild scream of ecstasy and
hope on ahore. The poor frost-bitten crew
were safely handed down into the boat ; aud
o she crested the wave and bore them
triumphantly to the shore, it seemed as if all
hunmii sympathies were absorbed in one
intense feeling of admiration of those who
had behaved with all the generosity of sailors,
ami more than the nobility of most men.
The name of the captain who commanded
the laiit boat waa Stephen Woods, of the
A n lie Mamie.' He and hi crew deserve
far more than thi trifling tribute to their
henism.
