ADMISSION OF STATES. The New Orleans Picayune has a particular account of4^0 admission of each new State, since es|bliJ#aen* our national indepebdeitee. Vermont was the first. recei|«sd, in 1791.

rious disturbances have occurred in the Southern provinces. The emeute in Paris has been put down, but the Socialists were organized for a grand demonstration on the 24th inst. Military preparations have been made, however, to keep peace, and the provinces have been placed under a civil kind of martial law.— The Government is concocting plans to quell any demonstration of disaffection, for which purpose the country has been divided into four grand military divisions, over which Generals have been placed with extraordinary powers of command.

Maine, originally a pan of Massachusetts. came in as^the tenth new State.— It appears that there was no action of Congress previously in her case but the Legislature of Massachusetts gave consent in 1819 that the people of the District of Maine Should form a State Constitution.

PACIFIC STEAMSHIP LINES. The steamship Republic, recently sold by the Baltimore and Southern Steamship Company, to Mr. George Law of New York, is intended to be placed on that gentleman's line between Panama and San Francisco, to connect with his line on the Atlantic side—the Georgia, Ohio, and Falcon.

The Pacific line of Messrs. Howland & Aspinwall is now composed of six fine steamers—-the California, Panama, Oregon, Tennessee, Unicorn and Carolina. On the Atlantic side the Cherokee and Philadelphia connect with this line.

Messrs. Howard & Son's Pacific line consists of the Sarah Sands and New Orleans; the Atlantic line of the Empire City and present City.

The New York Commercial Advertiser states that by the first of May the lines of steamers on the Pacific side will be in successful operation, and during the Summer and thereafter we may look for arrivals of news from the land of gold every week.

A number of steamers hare also left New York recently, "on their own hook" to ply in the Pacific Ocean. Their names are the New World, Gold Hunter,

the .Government, and then lays d^wn three modes in which the Governrneatal position has Men accomplished.'"^The first charge is, that the South has been exfcladed from all interests in tha territories Cotnmon to the Union Second, That the-«dopiion of the system of revenue %vhtch* is embarrassment^ to the owners of the South, has been foVced upon the country, taking away an undue proportion of the proceeds of the South and imposing upon hor equal taxation for the benefit of the I^orth, Third, That a system of pplitical measures has been cherished, that has changed the original character of the federal compact. He next proceeds to show how it is:, the equilibrium: haAvbeen destroyed,and the whole power centralized in-0 sectional majority, He refers, first to the ordinance of '87, under the .provisions of which the North, seeks tq be the ruler of three-fouths ofour TerritoryIj From this he passes to the Tariff and manufactures, and to a general survey of matters pertaining to protection, and concludes this division of the change in the original character of the Government by averting that instead of living in a Republic we are swayed wholly by National consotidaied Democracy. The Government assumed powers and as interests of sections are not one, therofre, thus springs up hostility between tlio North and the South. Here he enters upon the full details of the abolition movement, and adverts to the^pposition to the right of petition on slavery fofiics, and follows out tho National results of the agitation, till he finds it ending in disunion. From this point the ties whicfi bound the Union .together are,surveyed, church Organization and brotherhoods are examined, and the influetfbe of ngitatiop upon them depicted. ^TJie, Utiion then becomes the chief theme, and with no. sparing voice he glowingly describes the nature of the love of the Union in the address, of those who have carried on the agitation. He alludes to Washington, and the dissolution of the Colonies ^nd tho Mother Country. The next step iii'lits course, is directed towards the plan Of the Administration. Mr. Clay's compromise'is scarcely noticed. He draws the.distinetion»line between the Wilmot and Executive Proviso, and censures in rto slight measures, the movements towards the construction of a State out of California. He approved the admission of that State, and cited precedents to prove his position, and concludes with an appeal to Senators upon their duties, intimating that the admission of California will be sufficient evidence of the future intentions of the North and will enable the South to adopt such a course as will compare with her honor and safety This is but a meagre sketch of the body of the speech. The health of Mr. Culhoun is such that he can scarcely rccovcr. His lungs are much disoosed and he has had a severe attack of influenza. ,np fijsfe

On the 7th, the Vice President slated the first business in order was Mr. Clan's resolutions., Mr. Webster then rose, and •after-expressing his obligations, he\proceeded to address the Senate. Jjfe:lose, be said, not as a

man, but as an ^American artd he desired todo his duty with fidelity—-with hope that the storm which was now rag ing in the land would be lulled. He spoke for the preservation of the Union with an anxious heart, for the restora tion of that quiet and harmony so nec essary to the prosperity and hoppincss of our Country. These were his objects, and if hp could do ever so little for them, his end would be accomplished. He proceeded to consider the events which had led to the present difficulties, com mencing with a review of the war with Mexico, its battles, triumphs and refeults^ Prior to', th&se negotiations the people

California, assisted perhaps by officers and people of the United States, revolt ed against the govprnmeht of Mexico! and run up the Independent Flag^ATho result was, a tide of emigration set towards Son Francisco from every country of the World. Rich and apparently unexhaustible Gold Mines$f California^ was subsequently discovered, and in* creased the emigration io those distant shores. He refered n^Xt to the failure of Congress to provide a territorial government for the people of this new Territory. He said that fn this state of things, those people had taken measures to establish a local government elected Senators and Reperesematives and sent them hero with their Constitution to ask for immediate admission into the Union. This Constitution then adopted, contained a clause prohibiting Slavery in the new State, which provision it was that had given rise to the opposition now made to her admission, whatever was believed to bo the object or the manner of tho war with Mexico Territory' was acquired, but National expectation that that would be Slave Territory wiis! disappoimed by the action of the people of ihe Territory itseif. Mr. Webster then went Into a historical consideration of the institution of Slavery from the earli est ages to the present time, lie allud ed at some length, to the feelings of a large portion of the community, arising from a conscientious belief that Slavery is a sin and incompatible with the Ohris tfan sentiments of brotherly kindness. The question in the.early days of tite government, was, how the ovil should be dealt with- It was thought' it® day

importation of slaves, and a proposition was introduced to probiftft such impor tation.

He allud(»Ito the ordinance prohibitfng Slavery in ihe'North-^eSt Territo »y. Mrf Calhoun had said "this was, the first of a seriea of measurer calculated

Mr WTebsver replied to Calhoun's objection that the operations of the Government had been against the South* and calbuln^ ted to wOaken her* He contended thatj. tho contrary was tite fact.

He wished it to be distinctly understood, that he considered this Govornment' •solemnly* boOnd by law to create new States out of Texas when she shall contain population Sufficient. Slavery was excluded from California atid New Moxicp by the law of nature, which had erected an im« passible barrier to its introduction there* This he considered a fixed fact. 'He aly luded to the difficulty arising from the failure of the North to give proper aid in the capture of fugitive slaves. lie thought5 the North in the wrong, and the South in the right. It was the cause of great complaint on the part of the South, and one which the North ought to remove^ Considering the agitation in tha North/ complained of by the South, ho said ho had no doubt but that during the lust twenty y^ars, money enough had been subscribed in the North for the support of Abolition presses, society and lectures, tO purchase the freedom of every Slave in the land.

Coavnwr Whyt'w, ri Bett The honorable Senator from ,OhW asks, me why? Because I say, sir. that by the formation of the country it has no adaptation fo agricultural employment as tnat slay^lobqr can ever possibly bo profitable. It is a region far more Elevated than any which has ever yet beea:,successfully,.cultivated by slave labor. It is wholly unsuitable in every respect th.at slave labor can never find profitable employment there. Tho demand for labor in the mines Will be amply supplied by die, thousands of free emigrants who will go there as soon as the mine# shall be discovered rich enough to justify tho working Of them, to say nothing of the Indian population, which supplies the cheapest labor of all.
