It us too mach to soy that the addles, wan ennui. mouldy approved oc became tome of the menders did not express their approval of the project of is suing any address at all, or of doing anything what ever, which would lay them open to the r.harge of fomenting treason against the Union, and exasper ' Mims of feeling between geographical divisions of it. But no open and decided dissent appears to have been expressed except by Mx. Clayton, on the part of the state of Delaware. Contrary to an de cency and sense of propriety, the design is persist ed in, of holding the adjourned meeting io the Ben ate Chamber, on Monday evening. One of those who sympathises with the movement, informs um that a member atihe Senate proposed to submit in the Senate a resolution of inquiry upon the allege rid desecration of the Chamber, by its being made a place for secret treasonable meetings, bat that he was induced to forego his rupees on the suggestion from others, that it would rather grat ify the pentonstengaged in it, by making their proceedings appear of more consequence than they many were, and by catbliagthetto in some measure, to coyer their designs with the paillan hog cloak of persecution. I think this reasoning was fallacious. In my judgment, these imps. dent plotters against the integrity of the republer the laws, and the public peace, should have besa-lagibed and scourged from the • preciacti of the capital, which they had , damid-to profane 'by their stweitiesdons. The most ultra among them begin to fear's mat when the boor for action mimes, the Whigs who were present at the first meeting, will shrink from placing their names to a paper, which will be looked upon in after' years, what- ever be thought of it now, as a record of info my. I devoutly hope they may, both Or their /country's sake, and of their reputation. But it is said that the address is not violent our threatening; that it is simply a temperate op peal to the free states. It recommend. no deci ded course of action, but presents to the South the history of the slavery question for, the Mat tarty years; talks of what the South yielded in the Missouri compromise, rakes up the: fact , that a proposition fa 1538 to strike out the slavery clause in the constitution adopted by the people of Arkansas, when applying to be admitted as o state received nineteen votes, whereas, a similar one in the case of Pbrida received sixty five. The Southern men say this is enough Zr the present:— I They affirm that they will now lay a foundation fo r united and successful resistance to the enactment of the Wilmot Proviso, or to prevent the appliea. ties 'and enforcement of it if it should pass. The most dismal apprehensions ore entertained here concerning the approach of the cholera. The general opinion among medical men appears to be that it is contagious. It is reported that a fatal ease occurred yesterday afternoon, at a place on the rail road, nine miles this side of Baltimore, and that this morning the clerk oiCoL Iltz, who accom• panied hlm upon the journey on which be died , and was with him at the time of his death, was this tacorning taken with the diagnose at his lodgings in this city. Should it break out and rage virulently here, there is no doubt that it would compel no adjogrement of Congress before the constitutional period of the session. The Pacheco slave case was before the House again to day, and consumed the whole sitting., There is every probability that it will be discussed 'through Friday and Saturday of next week, nod that unless a vivant effort be made to stop debate upon it, it occupies every hour of the seal= set apart by the rules for the considerate° of innate . business.
