red a resolution, providing: That all memorials, etc., on the subject of the abolition of Slavery, should be laid on the table, without being referred or printed, and that no further action should be had thereon. Which was adopted-Yeas 129; Nays 69--the Nays mainly Northern Whigs, as before. All debate was precluded by the Previous Question. And still the agitation refused to be controlled or allayed; so that, on the meeting of the next Congress, Mr. Patton, of Virginia, December 21, 1837. offered the following as a timely sacrifice to the peace and harmony of the country: Resolved, That all petitions, memorials, and papers touching the abolition of Slavery, or the buying, selling, or transfer ring of slaves in any State, District, or Territory of the United States, be laid upon the table without being debated, printed, read, or referred; and no further action whatever shall be had thereon.

ern members theatrically left the House of Lib. 7.211. Representatives in a body when William Slade, of Vermont, presenting a petition for the abolition of slavery in the District, moved (the gag-rule having again lapsed) its reference to the proper committee, with instructions to report a bill; that, after an excited caucus, a fresh gag Called Patton's, after the mover, a Virginian.

Lib. 8.15, 9.30. was hastily imposed for the new session; and that Calhoun introduced in the Senate resolutions declaring the Lib. 8.3, 7, 11, 13, 14. suppression of the anti-slavery agitation a Government duty in the interest of domestic tranquillity, and opposition to the increase of slave territory an attempt to impair the equality of the States under the Constitution, as in effect disfranchising the slaveholding States.

The less prosperous classes furnish the world with its reformers and martyrs.

Y., to Mr. Garrison: We are sorry to hear of the indisposition of our dear sisters Grimke at our kind friend Samuel Philbrick's. They have sown much good seed on other subjects besides abolition. The charge that abolitionists are persons of but one idea is pretty well passed off (Ms.) to fasten their eyes on a single evil, to lose the balance of their minds, to kindle with a feverish enthusiasm.
