The discussion that ingoing on in the Sen
ate Upon tile anti-slavery resolutions of the leg*
lature of Vermont anficipiites much that Vouid
bosaiduprin any proposition for the prohibi
tion of slavery in'Inc territories. Tho whole
question pending between the north ai d .be
# uth is Ijrotighl into vieji. I jndgelh.il llcre
a disposition in the Senate to conticiie the
«lebat.o indefinitely, in toe absence i fui.vr em
ployment. The Southern Smmtnrs are pre
pared to say tlmt the South will ri'sisldirect
legislative i uteri'- roice with her rigiils I
hibiting slavery in the new territories; 1
lyn portion of them go so far ns to declare
that tho South will resist the admission of Cal
ifornia os a State vyirli her self imposed re
striction of shivery.' It will ho a very long
time as J imagine, before the mutter will mine
to a point.
The result during the present, session, tho’
prolonged till August, will evidently lie ihe
admission of California as a State, and the
postponement of all propositions for any terri-
toriiii government for Now Mexico apd Dcse-
Thn ad' aotagf' of lids scheme is, that it. w ill
enable the Northern Senators to dodge the
jU ilinot proviso question, as they are desirous
of doing; for, if brought up to’“face the nut-
sir.’' they must vote for the proviso.
Some oi (Jie Southern Senators will pcr*isi-
ipUtt'ir demand I hut the Northern S'ntes shall re-
jieAbcprtnm lows which obstruct tho arrest and
jjaeKvesy of fugitive slaves. Ii would he hypos-
silili/lo ohtain such legislation. Km nn equally
direclmiode of attaining tho object is to pass
the IfilJ now before tlm dndicitiry Committee,

violated her person. Her parents, who were-
sleeping- in the adjoining room, heard nothing
of wlmt was taking place, nml were ignorant
of the unhappy fate of their daughter until af

confessed the crime and was secured. There
