It it tu bt expected that, in the retidue of the territory ceded to ut by Mexico, the people rctid ng there will, at the lime of ibeir incorporation into the Union at a Stale, tattle all questions of domestic policy to suit themselves. No material inconvenience will result from tbe want, for a thort period, of a Government established by Congrest over that part of the Territory which lies eaatward of the new Slate of California ; and the reatona for my opinioo that New Mexico will, at no very dit Itnl period, ask for admitsion into tho Uainn, are founded on unofficial information, which I suppose ia common to all who have caied to make inqmriee on that tubject.

Wo are, for one, quite unwilling to give a pledge in ad vance to "support the measures of said Con vention," of whatever nature they rnny be. Were it designed to be composed entirely of delegates from Ihe State of North Carolina, we might have less hesitation in making a pledge of that character, well knowing the loyally of the great mass of her people, and their discreetness in all circumstances of dif ficulty and danger. It is not, however, tu be so composed, and who can answer for il, that rash, ambitious, and designing men from oth er sectiuut will not by the preponderating weihl of numbers xetolve upon thai aioti of measurea that North Carolina would be unready lo sanction. Suppose though there should be nothing more take place than an interchange of sentiments, and an agreement to isue a manifesto setting forth in detail the grievance of which the South complaint, and justly compluins what good would there likely be achieved thereby ? If any one will affird a satisfactory solution of this query, we may yield our oljectiuns to a Convention like the purposed one. According to our judgment, nothing would be gained by a mere recital of wrongs and injuries, coupled with the avowal of a determination to try tome mode or other of redress. This would be no mote than a useless repetition of language which has been utteied by the Soul! time and again, and which its assailants hove no wise heeded. Out we have strong reasons for indulging in the apprehensions that there will be many men in the proposed Convention who will make effms lo bring a Dissolution of ihe Union. One of these reasons we de rive from a communication w hich appears in the Charleston Courier of Inst Saturday's dote. Gen. A. II. Brisbane, of Charleston, sends lo the Courier for publication, a letter received by him from Judge Heydenfelt, o( Alabama, in reply to one addressed lo the Judge by Ihe General. In some remarks prefatory to the letter, Gen. B. says: " My a law. aa well at it mnv cmiet the YVilmnt Proviso. P.ictrinet are tested by examin ing their remits when pushed lo extiemity. We preauine that there is hardly a man north of the Potomac, who would not demur to such a consequence from such a principle; yet it is ns fait ly deducihle a. it the other extreme contended fur by Ihem. At long at alavea are tecognised by Ihe Federal Constitution as property, they stand on the tame footing with any other property ; and the nature of it is not altered by the enactments of the Stato Legislatures. The Constitution of Virginia might declare that sheep were mere animals fierce natural, in which man could hold no kind of properly. Vet at Ihey are recegnised by Ihe Federal Constitution at tuch, it would certainly he a usurpation of authority on the pin t ol Congress, to enact that ahnep ahould not be carried to California. The coualitu iion makes no difference between one species of property and another. It yields an equal protection to all. The extreme measures to which Mr. Cling, man declares himself ready to resort, will not, we hope be necessary. Yet iheir very . indication should be sufficient to warn that portion of Congress which is most bent upon pushing matters, of the danger upon which ihey are forcing the Government. That they will he resorted lo. unless some mcihorl can be devised of averting what the undivided ooutn regnrds as extreme injustice, we re gard ss certain. The South, it must be recol. lecied, it passive in this matter. She tuffrrs all the injustice which may arise from the prosecution of the proposed measures. Tho North suffers nothing whatever. She ia lo all intents nnd purposes, the inflictinir d.mv. and she inflicts as far as we are able to tee, for no better reason than that she has Ihe power. Her presses and her politicians talk in the most offensive terms, about ' wallim up slavery,' hesitating not to dec'are lha" iheir object is lo destroy the value of slave property. At lhal property it valued at at least one hundred million of dollar., tome estimate may be formed of the enormity of the intended aggression. Suppoae the South had a mnjority in Congrett, and were tn pro pose a course of policy the avowed object of which waa to annihilate Northern property lo the same amount! What would the North the whole North say lo it? Yet we hope most ardently, and believe, that the South may not be pushed lo the ex tremity ind cated by Mr. Clingman.
