submitted a -preamble and the followintg
resoluions,. which- were considered imme

'Resolvi;That-t!ie people of South Car:
ia ' :av ah vays m anifested and still on
ertain the most ardent and devoted at
tachment to the Union of the States of this
Republic, and have always been and still
are willing to make any and every sacri
fice, except those which tyrants alone
would expect and slaves submit to, to pre
vent it.
Resolved, That we have seen with deep
regret and sorrow that there exists, in ma
ny of the Northern States of this counfede
racy, a deep and settled hostility to the
Snuth, and a mad and faintical determin
ation to restrict them in the enjoyment of
those sacred rights and privileges. for the
gireservation of which the Union itself was
established, by an unprincipled and un
warrantable interference with the institu
tions of slavery.
Resolued, That -e have long watched
with much anxiety the incendiary machi
nations of the abolitionists of the North,
but still have entertained the hope that a
returning sense of justice, or that a due re
gard to the sacred charter of our rights,
guarantied to us by the Contitution, would
restrain them in their fanatical career and
prevent a consuimmation of the destructive
designs, but the passage -y the House of
Representatives of the United States, at
their last session, of the Wilmot Provis i,
by which the South was to be virtually
excluded in the enjoyment of such territo
ry as might be acquired from Mexico by
co.ique4t or otherwise, and the resolutionts
adopted oe the aSme subject by the Legis
lature of alhnosi all the non-.9laveholding
States of this Union, warn us that we hnve I
but little ground far hope, either for their
forhearance, their sense of justice, their
humanity. or patriotism.
Resolved. That this attempt to exclude
and debase the South, is the more vile and I
unjust, inasnuch as the very territory t
from which we are to be forever excluded,
is territory which, ir obtained at all. will
have been acquired in eqiual measure by
Southern valor, and has already been free
ly watered with Southern blood.
Resolved, That we have every reason
to rear that it is the deliberate intention of
a reckless and fanatic majority of the slave
holding States of this Union to make the t
Wilatot Proviso, or a similar provision, the t
condition to the acquisition of any territory
to the United States in our present war I
with Mexico, and that regarding the adop- j
tion of any such measure as a gross viola
ion of the Constitution. an infringement i
of the rights of the South, and a wanton,
undisguised insult-a sulbmission thereto
would be degrading and infamous.
Resolved, That we most cordially con
cur in the resolutions adopted by the Le
gislature of Virginia on this subject, and
thtt in the language used by that patriotic
assembly. we feel it to be the "duty of ev'
cry slave-holdinig State, and of the citizens
thereof, as they value their dearest privi- c
leges, their sovereignty.t heir independence.
teir right of property, to take firm, united
ad concerted action in this emergency."
Resolved, therefore. That in the event
of.the adoption by the Congress of the U.
States of any law or reolution by which
the citzens of the alaveh6lding States are
to be eiiaded froin a fair, perfect and

COLUMIIIA AND GREENVtLLE RAILROAD
E rtract from a letter to thme Editor, dated
CosUatatA, Nnv. 22.
I have seen a delegate who has returned
from the Newherry Convention. rThe
discussions were spirited, and a great di
versity of sentiment prevailed as to the
proper' route. That to Aiken was, singly,
the strotngest, hut the other interests were
fearful of losing their chanices under the .
charter for the Greenville and Columbia
route. The following was finally adopted.
From Colnmbia, up the east hattk of the
Broad River, for 16 mtiles, with a view to
a common trunk with the Charlotte Road;
thece across the river to Newberry Court
H ouset thence to the Saluda River, near
tho corner of Ealgefield andi Ahhieville;
thence tom thme dividling ridge betweent the
waters of the Saltuda and the Satvaninah
River, to Anderson Couirt linse; and
thence to Greenville Court hlouse.
As soon as this was announced to he thte
result, the Greenvile and Laurens Stock
holders and' Directors (thme latter six in
tumber) withdrew from the Convention
and from the Company. Judge O'Neal,
the Presidetnt of the Roadl, was so much
dissatisfied, that he gave notice that he
would resign the Presidency as sooni as the
Company could reorganize another Di
rectory. It is the opinion of snme that the
w hole project nowv will be a failure- Others
say that the Road can he built, and that
it 'will be mnore profitable by far than any
other route, and the most benecial to
C harleston.-Mercury.

Some fuew members of Congress have
nrrivedn, nnd among tihese is Mir. Levin, of
Pennsylvania, the lone star of nativeism.
Mr. Levitt, as it is now' well understood,
will vote for a whig candidate ftor the
Speakrship, and. his preference will be
ftr Mr. T. R. Incersoll. Most of tho
whigs, both Northertn and Southern, are
detr~mned to support Mr. WVinthrop. Ho
is, unquestiotnahbly, t heir leading catndidate
Whethtier any of the Southern whigs will
oppose him, ott the score of the prtoviso.
retains to lbe seen:, But un anti proviso
whig cannot be elected.
Thme whig force iti the House will be
strong. It consists of 117 members, while
the democrats have but 110 members ;
an1 the romaining member, Mr-. Levitt,
goes with the whtigsi, for the Speakership.
The result will depenmd on the prompt at
tendance and the harmony of the whigs.

Rumors-of peice vith Mexico thicken ;
and I learn that the aiministration expect
to receive a treaty or peace, before the
next session ef Conigress. ,Negiations
have, to some extent at least, -een re open -
.d, and the Governn-t at Queretaro,
tuch as it is, is expected to eumer into a
treaty, whether it conforms with the wish.
!s of fie Mexican people or not, and whe
ther it le transient or permanent. But, I
iave no doubt that our Government will
:ontinue to occupy tite trore important
oints in Miexico, with an adequate torce,
antil it shall be apparent that the stipuia
ions of (he treaty will be fulfilled.
There ttre some gentlenen here from
Dalfornia, who returned with Commodore
Stockton, and they say that.the American
wopulatioa. in that coualry, are co opetent
o tile maintenance of its independonce,
tnd that they will never permit it to come
igain under Alexican rhld, even should
he United States abandon it.
November20.
Whenever there is a little dearth of
tews here, and a little hesitation, on the
>art of the Goveratnent as to wla. is to be
lone next, we always have an ample sup
>lv of peace rutnors-tha is the case tow.
rile administration, it is believed, are con
ident of a speedy peace. Some of my
riends, well acquainted with % hat is going
i, assure tmle thal we are to have a treaty
if peace. and in less than a tmonth from
his tiane. They surmiise tat the Alexican
aovernmnent at Q.teretaro will appoit, or
ittve tippointed. Comtnissiters to treat for
>eace ; and that Ithey will soon arrive in
his city, with Mr. frisi, and that the
teaty will be made here.
I have much doubt as to these results,
ut I have no doubt that the iGovernettI
as. through i1r. Trist, reopaoned a con
ntunication with tle Mexican Goverainont,
vith a view to a renewal of nego'iations.
I have seen sotte private letters from
rota] sourees in MUoico, sone of which
lays that tle fighting is over ; and another
vhich says that there is no prospect of a
teace by treaty. Tte w6ho0le subject is in.
Polved in doubat and mystery. We are in
he hands of destiny, 'Te continuance of
he war, and the continued occupation of
Uexico by our troops, must load to perna
tent possession, wtaethcr that ie the ob
ect of the war or not.
I have had opportunities tt know that
be leaders of the anti-slavery, or restric
ioa, or proviso party, large and powerful
is it is, are in favor of ho acquisition of
hie whole of Mexico, and will not he con
ent even withi the half of it, which the
I'rist treaty project proposed t,) take.
Mr. Clay's propositions are denounced
tud repudiated by the proviso party, for
ie reason that they are deemed to be re
trictive as to territory; and they are
qually unacceptable to the anii proviso
)arty, because they are restrictive as to
lavery.
Should a treaty be made, it will increase
tr embarrassnatts. It will create a coit
:st betweent the territori-al and the anti ter.
itorial parties-between the proviso and
inti proviso parties.
Ths Frenont trial draws,..towards; a

iehas some .further questiaons to plt-t
ittiesses, and thaf he will close the exain
nation,.int a day or two, in case Commto
ore Stockton should arrive in due time.
Ph Comnmodore is expected to return
'roan New Jersey to morrotw.
Neither Commotdoro Stockton, nor the
anterprising metn who shared with htim int
te coniquest of California, are willing, as
hey say, even to surrender it. The coun
try is in Americman hands, anti will remain
n thtose haand-, whtatever may be the 'erths
f anty treaty ultitnately to be made witha
Mtexico.
The Presiudent is busy in the preparation
>f his Messagep, and all the chief otlicers of
he government htave either made, or are
nakiatg their reports.
It is evidet that a very fair face will he
mut b'y the Executive on Mexican atlairs.
tt will bte madle tat appear, thtat peace or
0 peace, our atcenpation of Mexico is to

These advanatagems ought to reconcile us to

Befotre te session will be concluded, we

As the whligs hive possession of the [House,

>poition to the admnitstratiaon, however
unch they mnay disagree oat other points, it
s apprehetnded lay th'e admainistration that

'0 constitute thu Com-nittees as to deprive

mnall money than heretofore, for the want
if larger, we take occasiott to call pttblic
attetioni to a tautter that seems to in.

naown that the pohicy air otur Governumeaa,
