Willi all deference to the aUUetnrnl of the senator {
from New Hampshire, that this ut for purposes ;
which he has euted, I I'eel authorized, from a
knowledge of the circumstancea of the caae, to
deny it out-and-out. The appropriation was made
by the House of Representatives, upon a full consideration
of the mailer, fur the purposes to which
it is to he applied; and unless it is intended to
cramp the operation of the Administration and '
the Government, 1 hope it will be allowed to pass.
I do not care how long it is discussed, if gentlemen
undertake to discuss it unnecessarily. I re
gret that the California business is pos|K>ned, but
we must have action upon this bill.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. GW1N. Mr. President, I am not opposed ;
to this bill at all.
Mr. im;iVI??UN. I presume not.
Mr.GWIN. I am prepared to act any moment I
upon it, but the California bill is of more importance
than this. There is bloodshed in that country
for want of legislation, and 1 think tt my duty
to press these bills.
Mr. DICKINSON. Iam most favorably inclined
both to the senators from California and their class
of business. I will commence with them the ear-1
liest and stay with thern the latest to finish their
business; but the bill has occupied so much time
already, that I am fearful it will not pass unless it
is finished now. Therefore it is that I ask the
yeas and nays upon the question of its postponement.
Mr. EW1NG. If the vote can be taken without
further discussion, I will go against the postponement;
if it cannot, I hope it will be postponed.
Mr. FOOTE. I will eiplain the vote which I"
shall give on this question. 1 shall vote against
the present motion upon the principle of economizing
time. Furthermore, I shall do so because
I conceive the Committee on Finance are entitled,
at least, to as much consideration and respect as
will be afforded to them by voting in support of
the views now stated by the chairman of that
committee.

postpone, it was rejected?yeas 15, nays 30-r-aa

Mf. HALE. I had nearly completed what I
had to Hay, and I will occupy the attention of the
Senate but a moment or two longer. It is no part
ofmy purpose to take up time, and it is no part of
my expectation to defeat this bill. I know the
history of legislation too well. There is a sort of
specific gravity which carries measures of this sort
through in some way ?God knows how it is done ;
but such is the fact, and I do riot expect ta defeat
them. I -simply wish, therefore, to express my
views, and let the matter go.
I wish to answer one single afgumtnt of the
chairman of the Committee on Finance. He speaks
of our duty to repose confidence in the administration,
and to give them the means to carry out the
law. We have a right to judge as to what the law
requires ; and wh?n we see upon the face of the
treaty that the Government does r.ot want the
money for nine months to come, we cannot shut
our eyes to the facts, we cannot he blind, however
boldly it may be asseverated to the contrary, and
however obstinately it may be denied, that the
Government do not want this money for any purpose
of keeping the publi* faith. There is no
course of argument which can blind the observation
of every senator that this is not what the
money is wanted for, because the money is not to
be paid for within nine months.
A single otlrr remark. It is pretended to compare
the appropriation made at this time to those
covering the fiscal year, and it was said that the
objection which was made to this applied to every
otner appropriation in the fiscal year. I.do not
so understand it. The appropriations for the
fiscal year are wunled for the present moment. A
portion of thenv is wanted from day to duy. Not
so with this. The first dollar of this will not be
touched, and cannot be legally demanded out of
the treasury until three months after the close of
. the next session of Congress. Sut-h being the
fact, it requires a degree of credulity and of faith
which I confess I have not got, for us to believe
that the necessities of the Government require it?
that it is to keep the public faith whole and inviolate
that the money is wanted. Now, sir, when
I lo?k upon the face of the treaty, and see that
nine months are wanted before the money is re
quired, 1 confess that 1 listen Willi nicreuuious ear
to ail such statements.
Having- made these statements and placed myself
upon a position which I think is impregnable,
thut the Government do not want the money, and
that it is our duty as guardians of the public treasury,
not to grant the money until the necessities
of the Government call for it, 1 will myself be
governed by this consideration ; and having thus
defined my own position, 1 am not disposed to
trespass upon the time of the Senate.

From the Charleston Mercury.
Letter of the Governor.
Messrs. Editors: Knowing that it will be
highly interesting to your numerous readers to
have authentic information as to the course our
Governor will adopt at the present time, 1 hasten
to furnish you with the following communication,
which has just reached me, and to request its publication
as soon as possible.
Respectfully, yours,
J. A. LELAND.
Pendleton, Sept. 21, 1850.
Dear Colonel: I have received your letter, in
which the propriety of an immediate meeting of
the Legislature is suggested. That body in December
lust adopted the following resolutions, viz:
"That should the Wilmot Proviso, or any
kindred measure, become a law of Congress, the
Governor is hereby earnestly requested to call together
the Legislature, should it not be in session
at the time of the passage of such law."
To execute this request, "forthwith," would in
my judgment, be unwise and impolitic. In an
emergency like the present, it is vitally important
to avoid precipitation. The most conclusive reasons
exist why South Carolina should be deliberate
and weary in her movements. A false step
on the part, at this juncture, might ruin the cause
in which the whole South is embarked. We have
solemnly resolved no longer to submit to Congressional
aggression and Northern fanaticism.
Thnt resolve mi.Hit to be carried into effect with
calmness and great discretion by a united people.
While, 1 may almost say, I personally know, that
no division exists in our ranks on the question of
resistance, at all hazards I am not certain, that the
best mode of making that resistance effective has
been agreed upon. Let then, the remedy for federal
usurpation from this period to the day of the
regular session of the Legislature, be the subject of
ceaseless consideration. Let meetings be promptly
held in every district and parish, in order that
when the great council of the State shall assemble,
it will be ready to act, and not to deliberate
merely.
Our stated elections will take place in less than
a month. It is pretty certain, therefore, that the
present Legislature cannot be convened. To call
together the Itody soon to be elected, otdy about j
five weeks preceding the time when it must assemble
under the constitution, would, on my part, I
display a heedlessness not warranted by the momentous
consequences involved in the issue before ,
us. Give the intervening time to the people to
consider and prepare measures tliut will insure
success. On a matter of such immeasurable mo- !
ment, a little delay, be you assured, will be productive
of the most signal advantages.
lbitagnin, the Nashville Convention is to reassemble
on the 11th of November, or just two
weeks before lite meeting of our Legislature.
The latter, consequently, it is nearly certain, will
be in session after the adjournment of the Convention.
It will be in readiness to ratify the acts of
that august Council, or to take such other course
as the exigency of the crisis may demand.
Would not an extraordinary convocation of the
representatives of the people of South Carolina
immediately before or at the time of the assembling
of the Southern Convention, in which this
State will doubtless be fully represented, embarrass
the proceedings of a body convened for the
purpose of determining upon the mode and mea- i
sure of redress for Southern grievances? If so,'
what useful end could be attained by an extra call
that could not be better reached at the regular session
of the law-making power'
Georgia will shortly hold her convention. Virginia,
the flag-l>earer of the South, unless our sister
State contend successftilly for the honor on
this occasion, is bound by stntute to assemble her
legislature in the event of the passage of the Wiimol
Proviso, or if the slave trade he ab?d?shed in
the District of Columbia. That Mississippi, Alabama,
and Florida will lake the field, we have the
assurance of their solemnly recorded declarations.
South Carolina, it ia well kowfty is willing to oc- !
cupy any honorable poat that may. be assigned 1
her. in a lew weeks, having surveyed the entire
field of operations, we shall be well prepared to I
co-operate with our siater States 111 the noble task
at preserving, ummjiaired, the federative prineU ;,
pies of Uie Government.
Very truly, yours, lie.,

THE SOUTHERN PRESS.
WASHINGTON C1TV. j
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1650.
The Union and the States.
Congress has adjourned?look to the States.
The time has at length come to determine
whether this is a federative or consolidated Government.
The question is no longer specuhu
live?it is the most solemn and terrible of the
realities of life. If this is a consolidated Government,
the sole judge in its several departments
of its own powers, then there is no remedy
for any act of nggression or oppression which
a majority may attempt, but revolution?forcible
resistance. If it is a federative Government,
then the powers of the States may be resorted
to, in order to repel usurpation and redress violations
of their rights.
The late acts of Congress uilect in a vital
manner the people of one half the States of the
T71lii.n Tlu-un ti..nnli" nr<.t'.T trertnin institutions
w.*.,V?V rv?r.v r..v.
which the Federal Government undertakes to
proscribe and limit to certain geographical boundaries,
and to exclude from all recent and future
acquisitions of territory.
If the Federal Government has the right to
prevent the territorial extension of such institutions
as fifteen States prefer, then these States
are not the equals of the other fifteen in this
Union?but are subordinate and subject. And
if one of the rights of equals, and that essential
in the rivalry for property and power, be denied
at the will of a numerical majority, then any
other or all other lights are held by the same
tenure. If the proscribed fifteen States submit
to this aggression on their territorial rights, the
enemy is at the door of their domicils. If they
cannot resist effectually this assault on thcirfrontier,
they can make no resistance to an act of
universal emancipation, which immediately enlists
and arms three millions of people in their
midst against them.
The institution of ..lavcry, as one of property
and society, is the most delicate, the most vital,
the greatest in money value, the deepest in soehd
value, of any that has ever been attacked or defended.
VVe have now in Congress a majority
opposed to it?and a majority which asserts
- 1 J a 1- -
tliai all lis uels are law, ana caunoi ue n-sisuu
except by a successful rebellion. Now if this
is true, the slavery institution of the South exists
by precisely the same tenure as that of the
British and French West Indies lately did. So
far as the question of legal right is concerned,
we are at the will and power of the North, which
at any day may convert three millions of slaves
at the South into citizens, and their owners, if
they persist in pretending to licsuch, into rebels.
For the doctrine is distinctly asserted by this
very majority, that the Federal Government, in
one or the other of its branches, is the sole
judge of the extent of its own powers. And
although there arc some who are willing to submit
to the recent acts of Congress, that yet pretend
they will oppose future aggressions, yet
the very arguments they Advut.ce against any
Constitutional resistance to these acts, apply
w ith tenfold force to resistance to the very measures
which they avow n readiness to oppose.?
They tell us of the power of the North, and of
the Government, and of our own weakness.
That is their main argument. Well, if we cannot
resist a usurpation now, which docs not directly
enlist in its favor three millions of persons
in the South, how can we resist an act
which would ?
Let us now see then whether the States have
any right or power under the present Constitution
to protect themselves, against any act of
the Federal Government. If they have, then the
next question is whether we had better resist an
aggression on the territorial rights of the South,
or wait until other rights are attacked, with more
power, to support the assault and less to resist
it.
We are in a new era. All the great questions
of Government and society are raised. And
they arc given not to the student iu the closet, not
to speculative philosophers, but to men and citizens
whose property, whose honor, whose safety
are at stake. Let us address ourselves to the
great argument with minds undisturbed by passion,
by fear, by prejudice, by party, and looking
| only for truth, for right, for liberty, for safety,
let us reason and act like men who have a stupendous
responsibility to the present and future
generations.
More of " Billy Patterson."
The question which heads the article we subjoin
from the Albany Atlas, has greatly exercised
the ingenuity of the partisan prints of late. Each
side stoutly claims for its side the exclusive
honor of perfect u Nationality," and the organs
of each insinuate that t he " credit" attaching to
the passage of the Adjustment, was justly the
due of their leaders?the other side only furnishing
recruits.
j
In a few months the quarrel w 11 be reversed, j
and each will be as anxious to disclaim the
paternity of the bantling as they now arc to j
assert it. The child of many fathers is u rick
etty, unhealthy little creature at best?its life!
spasmodic only, with no healthy vitality about
it?and the date of its demise not far distant.
Th?> AfIns nvi<
Which is the National Party??The Whig
press 18 just now engaged in showing to the
South that it alone is tho National Party, and
that the Democratic party is sectional, broken,
and contaminated w ith Free-soil ism. The Washington
Rppuhlic leads of!" in this strain, and the i
New York Express follows. The latter aavs: |
The pretensions of the " Democracy" to a
national consideration, the events of the past
two years have abundantly demonstrated to be
frail, frail indeed. Here at the North, having
shaken hands with the open and avowed disturbers
of Southern repose,?having taken to
its bosom the Butlers, the Van Borers, w ;#i the
whole race of apostates that followed in their
train?of course it is | reposterous to look for
anything like a union with the ** Democracy*' at
the South, when the time comes round for the
assembling of a National Convention to nomiI
onto a President to be voted for by all sections.
* * * * To give countenance to
such a party, then, it is clear, would only be to
strike a blow at the domestic harmony of tho
Republic. Every vote cast for Old llunkerism
is a vote strengthening the Free-soil faction,
i and to invigorate that ia but tu keep alive a sectional
party at the North, which must neces,
sarily create an antagonist sectional party at the
' South.

The Pittsburg jwj?ers contain the fallowing
paragraph :
- The Slaves Still Mowm;.?Wo still hear
iccounta of large numbers of Fugitive slaves do- i
utrtiug for the Colonies of Her Majesty Queen
Victoria. It is estimated that from one hundred
iml fifty tojtro hundred have already left the two
. itios and suburbs, and a large number are |>re- j
|uiring to follow. The stories which are told of
the distress occasioned by this flight, have made
11 deep impression on the public mind. One case
has come under our own observation in which a
11unhand left hi* wife who was nursing a very
young infant. We believe that in this instance j
the wife was perfectly willing to allow her husband
to go alone and make arrangements for ob- '
tabling a settled home in the Canadas ; hut we
souitiiiies hear of panic stricken men who nban- :
don those who look to them for support; we |
hope and believe, however, that there are not
many cases of this kind.
There was a meeting of negroes held lust j
night in the Mission Church, Allegheny, to con- ,
sider what action should he taken in the present j
crisis. There is a call for a general meeting of j
the citizens of Allegheny, to he held on Monday
next, for the purpose of expressing their hatred J

movement is 011 foot to got up a meeting in !

caused inucli more excitement than we untici- !
pa ted. The opinion that the law must be repealed
seems to be universal in this neighborhood."
These fugitive slaves, be it remembered, lef

and the people permitting, if not sympathizing

On the other side one fugitive slave has been
captured in New York under the law.
A very email specimen of a paper printed
in the smallest of the United States, "little

Boaibastes Furioso.?Governor Towns, of
Georgia, has issued a proclamation calling another
Southern Convention, and says :
"Your institutions are in jeopardy, your feelings
wantonly outraged, your social organization
derided, your honor deeply wounded, and the
Federal Constitution violated, by a series of agrnoitunrow

Dew tell 1
When the South submits to insult and injury,
and acquiesces patiently in any" outrage, then indeed
will her sons deserve to be sneered at even
by the denizens of the "Dorr State."
The little gnats, however, are only imitating
the big-bugs,which buzz the same tune:?' it is
all bluster." The action of Georgia will show
whether her people are in earnest or not, and
confound the calculations of those who misunderstand
the character of her people, because assimilating
it to their own.
K?" A letter from Gov. Skabrook, of South
Carolina, explaining his reasons tor not calling
together the Legislature of that State now, will
be found in another column. These reasons
were well understood here,and were self-evident
to all acquainted with the facts stated by the
Governor. As, however, a wrong construction
might possibly have been pitt upon his silence
by those who were not informed on these points,
this letter will effectually prevent any misinterpretation
or mistake in the matter.
The readiness both of the State of South
Carolina, and of Gov. Seahkook, "to co-operate"
in the resistance which the Soutli is organizing
against the surrender and spoliation bills, no one
who knows anything of either, can doubt.
The attitude assumed by him is evidently judicious,
and bis course precisely that which the
circumstances demanded?while the spirit that
breathes through the whole letter cannot be mistaken.
The Restoration of Peace and Harmony.
The Rochester Democrat lays down the following
platform, on which the citizens of that
State, irrespective of paity, are invited to take
their stand. Speaking of Mr. Stevens' notice
of his intention to introduce his bills, that print
says:
"Here let us take our stand. Let us pledge

slavery in Utah and New Mexico^
2d. To advocate and vote for the abolition of
slavery in the District of Columbia.
3d. To advocate a id vote for a bill securing
trials by jury to persons claimed as fugitive

4th. To oppose the admission of any State
into the Union witii a constitution tolerating
slavery.
5th. To support and vote for all constitutinal

CONGRESSION A L .
IN SENATE.
llu
Movuat, September 30, i860.
The Senate met this morning at nine o'clock. jj0
Among the incidental business of the day,
Mr. WALKER introduced a i til explanatory i"J
of the act granting bounty lands to aoldiera, passed
Saturday night. Through an error of one of the
clerks, the word " patent" had been omitted in :
the engrossment. The bill was intended to pro- | tin
vide that no soldier should have the option or as- ji)(
signing his land to another party, until he shull 1
have received his patent for the sar. e. The onus- I tui
sion made by the clerk in copying thie amendment pu
destroyed its force untL left the soldier free to sell 1 ^
liis bounty land on his own terms, and before get-1 ' 1
f in lt out !i is i m t flit it* lie iOioomhk III View of thi.si ' ail
fact, Mr. Walker hoped the explanatory Hth.
would be permitted to pass by general consent.
Mr. DAWSON. No, sir.
Mr. WALKER. Well, that, I suppose, sir, is to
the end of the bill. The object of his amendment ,
was to prevent thesoidiers' bounty lands from becominglhe
prey oflhe speculators and land sharks, he
Unless tins bill was passed that object would be
defeated; and the mistake of the engrossing clerk
would enure to the benefit of the land jobbers and ^
their monopoly of the public lands. Mr. Wal- w
kkk appealed, as a personal favor to the senator
from Georgia to withdraw his objections to this sl
explanatory bill. \\
Mr BENTON presented the case. Here is a sj
bill passed, the intention and object of the Senate >
being one thing, and the mere mechanical omission
of an important word or two by the Clerk, B
changing it to an entirely different thing. And
while it is the desire of tne Senate to repair tins j
mistake, which threatens to turn over the whole , tr
of these land bounties to the mercy of the specu- j 0J
tutors, it is in the power of a single senator to defeat
the intent of the law by an objection. One i ! '
single senator, sir, rises in bis place lo do it.
Mr. DAWSON. Well, the senator need not be :
ill sucli a rage about it.
Mr. BENTON. It is enough to put a man in tl
a rage.
Mr. DAWSON said thut as the mistake in the ,
bounty land bill was a mistake of the Clerk, he
! would withdraw his objection to the passage of
I this explanatory bill. But if the mistake had
been made by the Senate, he should have adhered ^
lo his objection. "
I And the explanatory bill was passed, explainj
ing the law to mean that tha soldier slmll not have
power to assign his bounty land until he shall "

Mr. DUlilt said he had no doubt but that when |

ith .satisfaction. that the committee were unani- ,

mt the dissension on that point would not lie so I
nig. lie then proceeded to read the resolutions t
i follows: (
1. Rtuolttd, Tliat the WJiigs of New York reew
the declaration of their attachment to the v
rell known and established principles and measrcs
of the \V hig party of tlie United States, as c
nsed upon a sound construction of the Constiltion,

ne Umted Slutes as the supreme lew of the land,
lid as such to be implicitly obeyed by the-citieus
of every section, and by the authorities of |
very State; that we will faithfully observe all its
rovisions and compromises; that we will resist
romptly, firmly, and by all npcessary meanii,
ny attempt from any quarter to overthrow it; and
lint in all cases of doubt as to its meaning, we
.'ill appeal to and abide by the decisions of the
Inpreme Court of the United States.
3. Resolved, That the interests of the whole
Jnion demand such a revision of the tariff of 184<>
s shall afford more equal and effective protection
o American industry and develope the resources,
neon rage the labor, and promote the welfare of
he whole country; and that we regard with speial
satisfaction the establishment of manufactures
n those sections and States which have hitherto j
esisted with most tenacity Whig principles and 1
mliry, as tending to remove prejudice, enlighten [
>ublic sentiment, and build up an identity of in- | I
erests and opinion in ull sections of our common
ountry.
4. Resolved, That we believe it to be the duty
if the General Government to make such appro- i
nations for improving the rivers and harbors
if different sections as their condition may re
[uire.
.r>. Resolved, That the Wbigs of New York,
leeply lament the dispensation thai removed from
he sphereof his greul usefulness, our late lamented
Jhief Magistrate, whose purity of purpose, lofty
mtriotism, devoted and self-sacrificing ssrvices (
mi stern uncompromising resolution in the path I
f duty, hnd justly endeared ltiin to his country- i
nen.
(i. Rewired, That the Whigs of this State, have
ried in various capacities, the ability, the wisdom,
he patriotism and the devotion to the best in- I
erests of the country, of Millard Fillmore, Presiieut
of the United States, and that from theexpe- '
ienee of the pust, und their knowledge of his private
and public virtues, they repose the utmost j
confidence in his administration of the Govern- i
nent, arid his maintenance of the well known !
irinciples of lite Whig creed.
7. Rcsnlved, That while the Whig party of j
Vew York remain unalterably opposed to the ex- i
elision of slavery over territory now free, and
>ave no doubt of the constitutional power of Congress
to prohibit such entension, a liberal spirit of :
olerution should be exercised in regard to contlictng
opinions touching measures which have been
idopted by Congress for the adjustment of the
[uestions arising from our late territorial ncquisiioiis:
that we rejoice in the admission of Califorlia
as a free Slate, und are prepared to acquiesce
ii the recent action of Congress for the settlement
if the boundury line between New Mexico and
['exas, and a creation of territorial governments
or New Mexico and Utah, in the confident belief
hat these acts of conciliation will result in the
xclusioii of slavery from the territory ceded bv
dexico to the United States, and at the same time
slid to restore those cordial sentiments and frateral
ties which ought ever to be cherished between
io different sections of our common country.
8. Resolved, That the Whigs of New York 1
ave confidence in the honest purpose and pa- i
-iotic motives which animated the Whig senator
nd representatives from this State in the Federal
legislature, upon the embarrassing questions t
. Inch have been agitated during the present Conress:
that we recognize in their course and conuct,
an earnest desire to seek the permanence
nd advancement of the best interests of the Union; >
nd although in the conscientious discharge of t
teir duty, they have felt constrained to adopt '
ifTering and antagonistic views, we admire the ;
onesty and approve the candor and the tolerance, |
ith which, upon exciting questions, they have
evertlieless differed like brethren.
9. Resolved, That the Whig administration of
te affairs of this Stale, has been eminently vigorus
and successful, and marked by a paramount i
cvotion to the best good of the great mass of our
eople: and that we confidently appeal to its reults
and to the important laws which have been I
nacted under it, for proof that it merits the con- 1 '
deuce and support of the Whigs of New York. i
10. Resolved, That the Wings of the State of (
few York, appreciate the importance to the State t
nd the Union of the imperilling political contest, -
nd that they will do wnutever united, narmo- x
lorious, and energetic action can accomplish to |
cure stoh a result, an shall promote the welfare
f the ciuiritry, l>y making permanent the ascennicy
of Whig principles in the councils of the '
tate and of the Nation.
A motion xvnR then made that the resolutions 1
? laid on the table temporarily, when '1
The President said thnt he understood thnt 1
otion to he hy no means a test question, but t
mnly a temporary laying tliem aside. a
The motion was carried hy 57 to 49. j,

Mr. Cornwell then called for the considers- v
an of the resolutions, which being before the 0
onvention, Mr. C. offered the following as a |(
ibstilutc :
Resolved, That thi- convention, respecting those n
ho have sustained Whig principles with e(pial (|
dor in prosperity and adversity, rejoice in the
iportuniiy now offered for making expressions k
' renewed confidence in the present National a
dministration and in the wisdom and efficiency '*
ith which it has been administered tinder cir- tl
nnstances of unusual embarrassment and dif- rj
ulty. It
Resolved, That while wc lament most deeply S(
e irreparable loss of ou Chief Magistrate, Gen.
tciiAar Taylor, at a crisis in our country's '
story, which his clear judgment and Roman
inness seemed so peculiarly designed to meet, 11
e deem it most fortunate for the Nation that his "
see is fillled by a successor so distinguished and 'I
pable as Millard Fillmore, in whose experi- ii
ce, fidelity, and enlightened statesmanship, the S
ople of New Vork liave learned to repose entire ;l1
nfidenee. 0.
Resolved, That our thanks are especially due to ^
e Hon. William II Seward, for the signal
nlity and fidelity with which he has sustained
the United States Senate, those beloved princies
of public policy so long cherished by the '*
'liigs of the Umpire State, expressed in State ni
id County Conventions, as well as in the votes tl
id instructions of our State Legislature?those h
ine.iples arc eminently National and Republican,
cause they are just and equitable.

'l'he substitute also embraces the following ltd- :t'
itional resolution : ' ft
JUtolreJ, That tve unanimously recommend the tl
veral candidates presented fur the sutlrages of
ie people by this Convention, to the united and |
uergetic support of the Whigs of New York, us (|
ten of distinguished ability and worth, and of |
nblemislied reputation and of tried fidelity to the
rinciples of the Whig party, und as being sever- 0
11 y qualified, in every respect, for the high und *
onoruhle trusts for which they have this duy been H
elected. t
JVlr. hush, of Erie, moved that the resolutions a
e referred back to the committee of eight to re- ^
art on. He could not vote to censure any set of ?
len, especially Mr. Oner and the eighteen others I ^
rho voted differently from what the paper wish- i
ig to he called the organ of the Whig party in !
lis State, called "a violent cfTot to kill the Whig ]
cket." I '
Mr. Dickinson, of Steuben, said that he had in- ?
mded not to say any more in the convention, hut j <
e could not silently hear any man abuse a major- I /
y of the con vention, L
Mr. Bush, of Erie, said he did not intend to inire
the feelings of any member of the convention, j
le was for the harmony of the party.
Mr. Dickinson replied. He said that the gen- ''
eman and his friends had taken u had position '
/hen tliey endeavored to get no a split in the t
Vlug party, with Washington limit, one of the i"
iiost sterling Whigs in the Slate, at its head. f
He approved Mr. Hunt's course in Congress, r
.? lie did the course and doctrines of Senator
aivaro in his controversy with the Governor of
/irginia, when he wished liini to give up freemen
Voni this State.
Mr. Duer, of Oswego, said t! at if the Con- J
/ention paised the resolutions proposed by tlie
lelegute from Cayuga, the Whig party was i
>roken up, and where the majority would go re- i
nuinyd to be seen hereafter. He hoped that the
esolutions might he recommitted to the eom>i
i t tee.
Mr. Cornwall, of Cayuga, hoped tlmt if j
he motion prevailed, the committee would l?e in reased
to J(i.
Mr. Diii-r called for the ayes and nays, and '
vns willing that the committee be increased to lb. '
The resolutions were then submitted to the I
omiiiittec as enlarged. Ayes G4, nays .r)7.
AFTtltNOON session. '
Tlie Convention re-assembled at 3'. p. m.
Mr. Chaffee, of Erie, substituted E. it. .levvett
n bis place, he being obliged to return home.
Mr. Duer, Chairman of the Committee on ltesoutioris,
reported thut the Committee could not
Agree on any thing.
Mr. Corn well then called up his resolutions offered
as substitutes to the sei of last evening, to
which he made the following addition:
Rrsolvcd, That the Whigs of New York have
onlidence in the honest purposes and particular
motives which animated the Whig representatives 1
from this State in the federal legislature, while 'I
nibarrassing measures have been agitated in the :
iresent Congress.
The yeas and nays on the substitute resolu- j
ions were then taken?yens 74, nays 42. So the
substitutes were adopted.
The question on the resolutions as amended was
lien taken for the 1st, 2.1, 3d, and 4th by ncclai
ution.
After tlie vote on the resolutions, Mr. Duer and
liis friends left tlie convention.
The President then addressed the convention oh
tallows:
Tin' courtesy wliich had been extended towards
hitn, induced hiin to believe that he might be indulged
in u few remarks. No political defeat of
hia whole life has caused him the pain that he
experienced at the present moment. He had
heard it intimated out of doors that he had been
partial in the selection of members of the committee
on resolutions. This charge he replied.
His duty, as presiding o/licer of this convention,
had now been discharged. He renewed his declarations
of attachment to the Whig party; that
party whose honors he had received and whose
defeats he had shared. It appeared that the committee
could not agree. Doctrines had been advanced
as Whig doctrines, which he and those
who thought like him, could .not recognize as i
such. It therefore seemed consistent to resign
the chair into other hands. This he did wif.Vfche j
best feelings t% all.
Later and important.?The committee of the
seceding delegates has culled a State convention to
assemble at Utica, on Thursday, the 17111 of October,
to be composed of one delegate from each
assembly district. Thev also recommend that
primary meetings be held in every county. The
address will lie very long. It is the production of
the Hon. Win. Duor.
Alabama.
We see in several of the Alabama papers, a
propositi made to hold meetings throughout.the
State, to declare the sense of the people oil the
course to be taken, to avert the results of the
late acts of Congress. The Legislature of tluit
Stale does not meet until 1851, and that alone
ean call a convention^ JJut the plan now proposed,
is to pronounce the sense of the people!
of the ,State. We hope it will he done, and that
very meeting will send delegates to the Nasltrille
Convention also.
The following able article is from (lie Ail crtir.cr
<\nd Gazette of Montgomery.
It is not our purpose here to go over the nr.Miments
frequently adduced in our column, to
diow the monstrous injustice and unconstitutionality
of the measures which have just rceoi-1
zed the sanction of laws. Faery man in the |
3outh has recognized the principle that the ter-j
ritories of the United States, however acquired, |
ire the common property of the people, the I
whole pcopl >, each and every one, in cadi and
every State of the Union ; that they have a right |
to go there with their property, and that the Uni-,
led Stabs (iovernment is ixninil by Liu: (constitution
to protect them in the enjoyment of that
property of whatever description, ho Ion# no the
United States holds snpreme dominions over it.
That this protection must he afforded by the
lencrnf Government and cannot he waived or
elin'juished l?y it until it authorizes the people
?the inhabitants of a territory, to organize a I
state Government for themselves; at which ,
itne the limits of the proposed new State is prescribed
hi/ Congress, and a complete relinquishnent
hy the Convention, which is to form the1
state constitution, of all control over the pri- j
narv disposal of the public, lands is distinctly re- j ,
Miired. This has heen the invariable practice of;
he (Iovernment, and is in strict accordance with 1
lie principles of the Declaration of Independence,
,nd the Constitution of the United States. We i 1
old it, then, as a correct principle, one that can- <
iot he successfully controverted, that those who
rilhoiit thin rouse I of Congress?the trustee
f the people of the United States?undertake
n erect or establish a State government upon
nd over the public domain, and to pass fundalentnl
laws, excluding the people of one half
he States with their property there from, are
uilty of usurpation?of downright revolution ,
nd the. failure of Congress to provide them a
?rritorial government does not in the least alter
le c.ise. The Supreme dominion over this teritory

\Vo hold, then, that no State lum liecn legiti- v
lately formed in California?that all acts dyne ''

nit to the extent that Congress sanction* their ^
ij lattice to any part of the people of the United
tntes. it is an enactment in etl'ect?to all intent* j,
id purposes?of that injustice iti-olf: we see no
icnpe from this conclusion. This i* the view 1 I
ken of this measure by the Southern States,

'.solutions for the last six or eight months,
ut it is useless to multiply words and arguicnts?this
and nil the other great measures 1
int have so long engrossed the public attention J

gainst the South. Fr in all the territory ncuired
from Mexico, we have been as effectually (j

The legislation in relation to slavery in the
tistriet of Columbia, is much more offensive to
te Month tluin any hitherto enacted or proposed,
t is in fact a direct recognition, and a partial
xi rcise ot the power by Congress, to abolish
l.iverv in the District. The penal'y for c.irryag
a slave into the District.?either for sale, or
o pay an honest debt by giving the property to
creditor?is the freedom of the slave. When
Ins lull was before tin-, SeiMlte, a motion was
liulc bjL^I r. I'eunse of Maryland, to strike out
ho clause freeing the slave, and insert in lien
hereof a penalty in money of from three to five
lundrect dollars, one. half to go to the United
"States, but this was voted down by the \orlhern
nnjorittj in the Senate. The reason was too
phvious?they desired the. exercise of the power
0 free the since, and hence they would not annex
1 pecuniary penalty.
This is a simple statement of the result of the
abors of ('ongress in reference to these matters
it the present session, to celebrate which boniros
and illuminations have boqn resorted to in
lie metropolis of the nation, and in which some
Southern politicians were torch-bearers in the
uneral possession to the grave of Southern
ights.
It is unmanly on the parti of the South to dis uss
these questions iurther. Almost every
nan in the Southern States had expressed the
letermination to resist the Wilmot Ihoviso.
The only effect ol that measure was to exclude
slavery from the territories. Tlu t lias been done
in another way, just as elVectuslly as if it had
been directly enacted by Congress. lie who
kills by secret poison is more a murderer than
the open, lawless and brutal assassins. The
latter runs ojxmly and boldly in pursuit of his
>bjcvt; the former proceeds stealthy in the dark,
ind 110 premonition is given to his intended vicim
to warn him of the ruin that is coming upon
lim, or the certain destruction that awaits him.
This lias been the course pursued in regard
o the rights of the South by a set of unprincipled
demagogues and superunuated politicians,
l'hcy have broken down the barriers of the
'onstitution and trampled them under foot.
The objects for which it was instituted have
b urn disregarded?the rights secured to the
Southern States have been abrogated. Not
only so, but organized societies are formed at
the North for tlu* sole and express purpose of
robbing 11s of our property. The results of their
efforts at stealing our property are boldly and
authoritatively published to the world,and it exhibits
the sum of at least $600,000 worth annual

wok of the Government, nor in it sanctioned by
it, and that we .should not fall out with the
Union for that, which it cannot help.
Grant that this is so, and it does not answer
onr argument We hold, that if such wrongs
can he perpetrated within the Union, and there
is no remedy for it, that one of the grand objects
for which it was instituted has failed, and
that according to the Declaration of Independence,
it is our r'tphl and our duly to provide
now safe-guards for our future security an !
happiness. Hut is it not strange Hint these
publicly avowed acts of robbery should go mi noticed,
unpunished, by a Government instituted
for the express protection of the property
of the citizen , and ^'et, that its own citizens
should be arrested, tried and punished for interfering
with the rights and the property of people-of
a foreign nation, as was the case during
the late invasion of Cnbu Several negroc*?
some eight, we think?were brought to the
United States by the invaders, hut they were
taken and carried hack to Cuba by our national
vessels.
But let us return from the digression, and
conclude. For what, we nsk, luive numerous
meetings been held throughout the South ! No
other acta of aggression have been comtcmplnteJ
i by the Southern people, than those which have
just been consummated by Congress and the
President. In view of their probable enactment
we have held meetings, made repeated public
declarations of our rights to tho world, and to
what we would and would not submit. The
oak- (mention, then, for the neonle of Alabama

now to dceido in, whether they will submit or
not; whether, in the language of the Freesoilers,
we have merely been "emitting grow"?
empty bravado, without the least intention of
currying our resolves into execution or whether
like freemen?like those from whom we inherit
the glorious price of liberty?we have been resolving
upon our rights with the firm determination
of defending them.
In order to determine that question, let the
people in each county of the Slate assemble
[ forthwith and express their views upon the propriety
of holding a State Convention, for the
purposo of determining whether we ought
quietly to submit to these aggressions. This is
due to our position in the Union?it is duo to
our past professions?it is duo to our future
prosper!y?it is due to those gallant spirits, in
other States, who are struggling in (lie same
great cause?it is due to the memory of the illustrious
dead. We may bo defeated (which
we will not believe, and will not harbor the
coward thought,) upon the linal issue, hut let us
not at, least endeavor " to grace our fall, and
make our ruin glorious."
