The address of the Southern members of.Congiess to their constituents is as sailed by Southern Whigs by strong de ninciation, and that of Judge Berrien r.eceives their fullest approbation. Thev profess to have been willing to sanction its sentiments, and to regret that It was not adopted by the Southern meeting. It is lauded as so correct in its delinea tion of the condition of the slavery ques tibn, and yet so conciliatory in its tone, that it was factious and disorganiting to reject it, and inits place to put forth the sectional appeal written by Mr. Calhoun. One breathed the spirit of patriotism, say these assailants, the other was the voice of treason and disunion. The de feat of Mr. Berrien's address in the Con vention is arrayed as a crime against the repose and peace of the Union. Let us inquire, then, who defeated-il ly .whati ii tecas-was-i*--vete4-dow -n4 oe by whoin quietly abandoned to its fateI On the 22d of Januaty, the Conven tion met a second time. Early in the proteedings, Mr. Bayly, of Va., and Mr Venable, of N. C., stated in speeches that they made, that though preferring Mrr Calhoun's address, yei, for the sake of union and harmony, they were ready to y ield their preferences, and vote for Mr. Berrien's address, if that- proved mo.st acteptable. What took place ftext? Mr. Stephens offered his resolution declaring it inex pedient for the meeting to take any ac tion- This was voted down-59 to 18. subsequenily the vote was taken on the proposition to adopt Mr. Berrien's ad'ress in lieu of Mr. Calonf's. It was. rejected by a vote of yeas 37, nays 34. The diminished vore was owing to a dozed Witigs who weie present refus ing ro ,ote. These were Messrs. Ste-. phen:fj T6mbs, J. V. Jones, .T, B. King, Underwood,4orehcad, Preston, Cocke, Goggin, C.ro.ier, Rdman and Chapman, All Wiss 1ere- iL will. ereX tiese,if they had- chsen to Vote, to have carried Mr. Bert ien's address-,-sO" much lauded for its patriotic- tone and If the evils of a sectional appeal were so dreafi, why did not the Whigs accept ihb olive branch extended by Wessts. Bayley and Venable, and aid 'in the a doption of an address conceded to be unexceptionablt? The answer is, they did not desire to see the South united on this question. Their object was divi sion, discoid and distraction, They have paitially succeeded. Their plan seens to be 116ithfully pursued by por tions of the Sbuthern Whig press, who have taketf their cne and ate creating all the bad blood they can in the South by assailing in coarse and virulent language the supporters of Mr. Calhoun's address. In this malevolent work, the Chronicle & Sentinel is conspicuous. It thus plays into the hands of the Abolitionists of the North in a way to win frpm them a chuckle of deliht. "Divide and Coh quer." the old Roman motto, is applica ble hera, and the Abolitionists doubtless rejoice in the pt ospect of its efficacy. If the Aboliontionists had bought the Chronicle &c Sentinel, body an.] soul, and sent the editor as an ceissary among us, their policy would he to weaken atnd distract us by assailing the motives and impugning thte patriotismn of our South ertn statemtnt. fTeir piolicy would be to sow among us the seeds of suispicion, of distrust of each other, when all South' ern tmen should be fitrtm and true to each other and the South, a'nd stand shtotlder to shoulder ready for tihn onset of the common enemy. The CItron. & Sent. has industriously ptursued this policy, under what influences and sanction it is yet to appear. Its indignation has uni formuly been spent upon those at the South who htave raised the voice of re monstrance and resistance to Norther n1 aggression. Its ind igna tion ne ver se~ems to tutn upon the aggresso's, or to breathe thte latngttage of at sense of wrong. Its :narvelous placidity anid contentment itn thte face of tIhe steady. advancing anti savery encroachmnict wvears a very sus picious air, MIAN without wvom,a. Would soon de generate into a brute.

A tile of Star and Californian, publish ed at San Francisco, to December 23, furnishes evidence of the actual exis tence of a civil governnient, for the pre. servation of society and the punishment of crimes recognised by every society: "On the 16th of December a trial took plice in the village of San Joso be fore Judge Kimball H. Dinimick, al calde of thel district, and a jury enipan ulled for the case, of three men, named Davis, Campbell, and Urcer, for mirler. The jury pronounced a verdict of guil ty, and itey were sentenced to be hang ed. The sentence was carried into ex Pcution on the 18th, in presence of a large concourse of :itizens. The con victs confessed their guilt, and embraced the Catholic faith. The other men were subsequently tried for participation in the sane crime, viz: Cotton, Voo!ard and Lee, and the two latter to the additional charge of perjuty. They also were found guilty, and were sen tanced for tihe first offence to receive, Cotton fifteen and the two others eigh teen lashes, antd the latter no the addi iional charge, forty lashes each, and one month's coufinement in the stocks-. C. E. Picket, tried at Fort Sacrememto, on a charge of the murder of Mr. Alders mat), was acquitted." The provisional govei-nment meetings' whichi had beeni held, as heretofore noti ced were first at San Jose, next at Ptie bla, and then Sain Fi ancisco. Thme result was as follows: A concurrent recommendation to the itnhabitants of California to hold meet ings and elect delegates to represent them in a conventioni to be held at San Jose on the 4th of March,-1849, fur the Purpose of drafting and preparing a formi of priovisional governimenit, to be submiitted to thme people jfor ratification or rejection hy a vote by ballot. Thle- inh:bitants of' San Francisco were to hold a meeting on the Sith of January, to make choice of live deli., gates. At their previous meeting resolutions were also,adopted expressing the opin ion that the duties which have been. collected at the ports of Upper Califor nia, since the 15th of August last, right hy belong - to .the peop)le of the Terri tory.

GENIUS DEFICIENT IN CON VERSATION. The Erent Peter Corneille, whose ge nius resembled that of our'Shakespeare, and who has so forcibly expressed the sublime sentiments of the hero, had no thing in his exterior that indicated his genius; on the contrary, his conversation was so insipid, that it never failed of wearying. Nature who lavished on him the gifts of genius, had forgotten to blend with them he. more ordinary ones. He did not even speak correctly, that lan. guage of which he was such a master. .When his friends represented , to him how much more he might please, by not disdaining to correct these trides,- lie would smile and say, "I am not the less Peter Corneille!" Descartes, whose habits were formed in solitudo and mieditations% was silent in fiiixed company; and Thomas describes his mind by saying, that he received his intellectual ,wealth from nature in solid bar, but -not in current .oin; or, as Ad dison expressed the. sanim idea, tom paring himself to a banker, who pos: sessed the wealth of his frieids at home, though lie carried hone of it in his pock one of tie Port Royal Society, who said of a scintillant wit "le conquers me in the drawing room, but surrenders to me at discretion on the staircase." Such may say with Themistocles, when asked to play on the flute; "I cannot fiddle, but I can make a little village a great 'city The delcienies of Addison lh noh conversation are well known. He pre served a rigid silence among strangers, .but if he was silent, it was the silence of meditation. How of6en at that roomernt he labored.at some futore Spectator.

It is very easy said a IU'horous ob server on La Fontaine, to be a man of wit or a fool, bat to be both, and that too in the extreme degree, is indeed ad, mirable, and only to be found in -.jim. This observation applies to that fine natural genius, GoldsMith. Ch;ucer was more facetions in- his tales than in his conversatieni and the Countess of Pembroke used to rally him by saying that his silence was more agreeable than his conVersation Isocrates, celebrated for his beautifrl oratorical compositions, was of so tihiid a disposition thait he never ventured to speak in-public. He conpared himself to whetstone, which will not.cut, but enables others to do this; for his pro productions served as models to others.
