Adopted. Mr. Hale, offered a resolution of inquiry into -the expediency of removing from tiie only handsome open square near the Capitol, the hen coops now building there. Mr. Hunter said that leave had been granted for the erection of buildings in the square for the plants collected by the Exploring Exdedition. The subject lies over. Mr. Underwood presented a memorial from ! the Orange (Va) Railroad Company, praying! the refunding ot the sum of $1*^0,000 loaned j or given by the State of Virginia towards the erection of the public buildings in this city, and which claim has been transferred to that company. Mr. Uuderwood moved that the memorial be referred to the committee 011 claims, with in-! sti'uctions to report a bill refunding the money. Some conversation followed between Mr. Underwood, Mr. Mason and Mr. Dickinson, when Mr liuderwood gave notice that he would ask leave to introduce a bill to refund the money. Mr. Clay called for the order of the day. - ? ^-i? 1 lie adjustment uiu was ratten up, mm mi. i Butler resumed the argument which he had | commenced on Tuesday last. The event which | .had taken place prevented liini from pursuing j the thread of remarks he had commenced. He I proceeded to give his reasons for opposition to the bill. Mr. Dayton offered an amendment to the clause respecting Texas, providing for the con- j veyauce to the Uuited States of all her public domain.

The amendment provided for appeals to tho Sum-emu L'ourt was concurred in. Ail the amendments were agreed to. Mr. Walker moved to strike out all the bill except that which admits California into the Union. Mr. Bright opposed the motion in some remarks. Mr. Clay also made some remarks against it Mr. Berrien suggested that the friends of the bill should be allowed to perfect it before a test question should he taken. Mr. Walker withdrew the motion for the tiris.<nt r*" Mr. Benton offered his amendment heretofore printed, prescribing the boundaries of Texas. He contended that the line proposed by the committee was entitled to 110 regard whatever. No Texan ever saw it. The line amputated New Mexico just below the hip, and left her to stamp it about as well as she can. The com mittee gave half of the territory of New Mexico to 'lexas. Solomon in his judgment directed that a child claimed bv two mntborc < <? iu two. It was an expedient to find the true mother. By cutting the territory in two, they invalidated the claim of Texas, and at the same time deprived New-Mexico of half of her territory. He condemned the offer of millions to the State of Texas. He objected to combining the offer of millions with the admission ofCnli- i forni.i. Those iu favor o( the bill had put iu a * large tern to carry it.

Mr. Rusk followed in reply to Mr. Benton, i but the liour being late, lie gave way to a motion to adjourn. The Senate adjourned. In the House of Representatives, Mr. Holmes asked unanimous consent to introduce a joint resolution directing the President of the United States to deliver the Jackson Mnnnmont Committee, in the city of Washington, such old brass guns condemned as unserviceable, and not being national trophies, as may be sufficient material lor casting the equestrian statue of Andiew Jackson, now in course of construction in said city under the direction of said committee. .Mr. II. said that at some former time Congross bad generously granted to the committee about to erect the equestrian statue to General Jackson several pieces of brass canon taken at Pensacola. On inspecting these fine brass can * vj non, the committee discovered that they were fine pieces of aft, which the United States should never destroy, but should pre$erve as troDhiea. On one of these cannon was insert bed, " The terrible thunder of kings." General Jackson showed that these "thunders" were very empty "thunders." And now the committee ask Congress to take back these cannon and keep them as trophies. The reading of the memorial of the Jackson committee was then called for. It was read.? The report, after stating the objects &c., and of the trophies, it concludes as follows: "This will save the fine antiquated pieces that bear the motto of the sovereign under i whose auspices the continent was discovered. The engraving on the breach bears the menace of " The terrible, thunder of Kings." Violentn Regis FulminnThey should be laid at the feet of Jackson's statue, to evidence to the world" how harmless is the thunder of Kings when hurled at the men of iron, whose armor is the patriotism inspired by the Republic.? Those trophies should be preserved for the glory of our country, like those taken at Saratoga and Vorktown, and the batterries recently re turned from Mexico, inscribed with the names of the heroes who directed them, and by whom they were emblazoned with the victories of Palo Alto, Resaca, Monterey, Buenn Vista, Vera Cruz1, Cerro Gord;>, C'aorubuseo, Molino del Roy, Chapultepec and the city of Mexico." rV" . ? ? 1--*-? *1.? a?1I? | J IIP J0IX1X. rusoiuutjfl \> ?^> men liuuiij jmoo^u and sent to the Senate.

Mr. Benton rejoined, and the debate was continued by Air. Clay and Mr. Underwood. Mr. Kale moved to lay the bill on the table. Mr. Foote appealed to him to withdraw it Mr. Hale declined. Mr. Webster began to saj' something. Mr. Berrien ?I call the Senator to order. Mr. Hale, in compliance with Afr. Foote'a request, said he would withdraw his motion to lay on the table; but gave notice that to-morrow he would make it if he could get the floor, | and would not withdraw it for any one.

The Senate passed a few minutes in Execu tive session, and adjourned. The House of Representatives passed a resolution, on the motion of Mr. Strong, to close the debate in the committee of the whole tomorrow at 2 o'clock, on the application of Hugh N. Smith, to be admitted to a scat as a delegate from New Mexico. Mr. McWiliie, from the committee on Printing, reported in favor of printing under the order of the Secretary of the Senate and Clerk of the House, 10,000 copies for the use of the Senate and 20,000 copies for the use of the House, of a pamphlet to contain the proceedings of the two Houses of Congress on the deuth of President Taylor, and also the funeral solem nitics on the occasion. Upon the question of adopting this report, considerable discussion took place, in regard to the manner in which the public printing had been executed, and also on the propriety of having this pamphlet printed in extra style by other printers. In this discussion Messrs. MeWillie, Wentworth, Duer, McLane of Md., Evans of Md., Johuton of Arkansas, Conrad, and Toombs, participated.

TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 23, 1850. _ The Meeting on Saturday Was numerously attended by our citizens, and 1 ? -..J r^l Was VIJV VI 14IJU&Uai imriuoi auu iccuug. vui. Gregg, of Columbia, one of our delegates to the Nashville convention, addressed the meeting first, and we are sure that speech was listened to with intense interest, for it was one of the best we have ever had the pleasure of hearing. Col. Gregg is a vigorous and animated speaker; his language is plain, forcible and choice, and cannot tail to convince his audience that he is master of his subject. Col. James Chesnet, Jr., next addressed the meeting as our delegate to the same convention; and we hre only repeating, we are persuaded, the opinion and sentiment of the audience when we say that speech was worthy of the important cause which was so eloquently and ably discussed by the speaker. Chaste, classical and forcible, this effort is well calculated to add to the deserved reputation which he bears as an Advocate of Southern Rights. Our delegates were frequently and warmly applauded, and enthusiastically received from a gratified auditory, the u true patriot's highest reward a hearty well done." Wm. M. Shannon, Esq., offered a series of Resolutions which may be found in the Minutes published in another column?which he accompanied by a very few, but very strong remarks, which also met the hearty response of the meeting. Col. J. B.. Kershaw advocated the Resolutions with much force and ability?and was also warmly applauded. The meeting was one of much interest ?calculated to inspire us with fresh hopes and renewed vigor, that in case the enemy must 1* met they shall be ourt. Action is now the Word. We hope, as the spirit of our citizens is now alive upon tne importance ot ouiiamg a nan* Road, that the feeling will not be suffered to subside, but that effoita will at once be made to further the object, and measures at once adopted to secure its success. YVe are confident, from the expressions which have been made within the last few days by many of our leading men, that the Road may be easily built for $30,000?which can be obtained without any difficulty; and if any body don't believe just let them ecail at ouroffice and say how much they will subscribe towards this worlhy and important enterprize. Everv one may contribute something, and if this is carried out, the Road can be built Corpe up, fellow-citizens, and do your duty.? "Nnw is the dav and now is the hour." It is not worth while to talk any more about it Let ACTION be the word. The communication of "C." on the subject of the Plank Road is unavoidably omitted to day. It shall appear on Friday.

But the most louchingly sublime feature in this picture is the representation of our Savior standing upon the brink of the stream, apparently from whence the voyager started, with his hand outstretched and countenance full of divine love and benevolence, as if inviting the youth baek t6 him ae the only object worthy of admiration, and the true source of "evpry good and perfect gHV and of honors which fade not away nor perish wi'h their ueing. , , The object of this association will be more particularly explained on application to Mr, John J.

This may possibly be thought inemsisttht with the doctrines which we have promulgated since our Editorial career commenced, as some think in reference, to our notice of the Democratic Review, the truth is we may not be altogether free frem the charge, and our only excuse, if ?vch be the case, on the present occasion, is that we always have, and always will admire the sublime and beautiful either in Nature or Art, no matter where they iriav h? tminit The m-icponps rtf Natnrrt and Artewnin the Empire Slate, {although represented as it is in the councils of the Nation by such an ugly specimen of humanity as Seward,) would, we are confident, charm us into a forgetfulness of where we were.

It is not always profitable to look loo much into origin, for if we do we may fall into very gross and ridiculous extremes.

[/ CONFIRMATION MEETING IN KKKSJIAWK Pursuant to previous notice, the citizens of Kershaw District held a public meeting at the Coon House in Camden, on Saturday 19th iust, for ;be pujpose of hearing from Cols, Maxcy ijregg, aud James Cheeuut Jr., delegates representative of tiiis Congressional District to the Nashville Convention which assembled in June last. 1 ho meeting was auiy organized Dy caning Major J. M. DeSaussure to the cliair, and the appoiutment of W. H. R. Workman, Secretary. The Chairman then indulged in a few remarks descriptive of the progress of abolitionism, the means adopted at the South in opposition to it, and the object of the present meeting: ?iu / <-l vi v:_ xiieroupuii v/ut. i*hiavj ui v/uiuiiiuin, was called upon und promptly responded in a a very lucid and pointed manner. He began by remarking that even the most sanguine friends of the Nashville Convention, were somewhat discouraged by the prospect presented at or about the time fixed for its assembling, and , expected but little good to be accomplished by it. That there wore many powerful causes actively at work, leading to defeat the measure. Among these u blind and fanutical devotion to the liuion ? party-spirit?and the very limited intercourse between the Southern States, and towns were mentioned and dwelt upon. He , then stilted that the object of the Convention, was to unite the South, as recommended by the able address of the Southern Senators and Con- , gressmen to their constituents, and that coutra- , fy to expectation much good had resulted from ] itj One of these results was the commencement , of a union between the Southern States; niue , >vere represented in the Convention and had ( by tins means become better acquainted wjtn each other?that this acquaintanceship had served to dissipate much of the unbounded jealously und prejudice which, previously existed between them. * That iu all probability, fourteen or fifteen states would be represented at the next meeting of the Convention. Another result was, that these nine States had united iu condemning the Compromise bilj, and had been < pledged as tar as their delegates could pledge them to resist it to the uttermost; he mentioned ] tliut flui itiiruf iinuhirn ill tllllf Kill IVQfi bUllb ?I|V HVIWW "H3 ^1U * ( position that tlie South should bribe Texas to f surrender a portion ot her territory to freesoil- < ism. The xNushvillo Convention had unquali- 1 fiediy denounced that measure, and bound the j South as tar as it could to support Texas.? Another result was the establishment of confl- t dence between the Southern States; they by t % the .fiSrfeVailiiig state of publio opinion throughout file Jjkwth, and kuew how far they conld rely ort.esch other. He also spoke in high tortus of the delegate composing that body, and paid handsome compliments in passing on Jodge Tucker, of Va,, and Cotouitt.qfCuj^ Gen. Henderson, of Texas. He said that the Convention adjourned %> meetsix weeks aftar the adjournment of Coggres^; thgt it^as at this time impossible to. say what the existing' necessity at that time.might be, aiqoi Jhe administration of the government had fallen- into other hands; that if matter* were poshed, (as t_ L. \ lL>t U. ? 1.1 1 2 was it# i/?> VApvuwu^ um? n wvuiu uuiJ KTTe to nnlte the whole Hootb more firmly and deeidedly ?if a temporizing oourse were pursued it would but Increase the confidence of the South jn herself?the action df the U. 8. government was however, obliged to be decisive since it must either please or displease the South.? He stated that the Southern States would be better prepared since the meeting of the Convention to resist the compromise bill should it be passed. As to the particular way in which we would resist it, he could only give Ius Jh 1 .. ~ uivmuai upimuii, wmuu luigui W"iMiguniu>,j(fV vail in that body upon its re-assembling?boi be thought the mode would be in the formation' of a separate government At the South. Perhaps however, California by itself might be* admitted, in that event we ought to "secede and'take it by force. If nothing were done nt'tW" present Congress, we ought nevertheless to adopt the same course.' . . .. Other modes of resistance might be proposed and adopted, but in die event of their inefficiency, other and more decisive step would be taken. T:V He said that we had no need to fear a war: springing out of the formation <>f a newgovernment?that we had the right to secede, and if it were necessary and advisable, it did not becpiwe men to be deterred from exercising it. BefcSdefe, if a war should come, U nmsttertmoatefavorably to the South. It must do so, because wo were a more warlike, peopfe than our opponents and would have tlint decided advantage attendant upon superior spirit aud valor. Moreover, we were an.agriculturaj people, while our oppo. iicuu ircic ciigngeu iu uuHiuutvuires auu ow|i; merce, and the former always hare the advantage over the latter in a protracted struggle.? This l.e illustrated by a reference to the Cartha* geuian war. Besides this, we have the month of the Mississippi river, and by tine means can blockade the whole North-western States.? The issue, he said, might come sooner than .the adjournment of Congress, and be decided with the controversy between.New Mexico, and Texas. That the struggle would .then become a general one, and we would be justified in seiziug upon any pari of this public territory. That it was easy to say where the people of. South ('arolina and Kershaw District would-be at that day, since the exhibition given during the war with Mexico. Col. ChesnQt then followed- in. a speech of great interest aud nincb brilliancy, defending the Convention from the charge ofbeinff* treat sonable meeting?which charge hadbeeo made at the North, while the people there allowed to meet at at any ptaeevjn anj~way and for any purpose, without being liable to any such cliarge, He then spoke of the causes which had rendered a'Convention of theSouthern States, bow tlie Noithem States had proved recreant to the treat reposed fn them by the South, and had passed lau^a energetic find eflective, to defeat t'.ie binding obligations of a solemn treat}', made and ratified voluntarily, between them; how they had bythis means, robbed of our propetfy-r were destroying our peape and jeoparding oeK lives; bowfte U.

'Be spoke of-California as acquired by common blood and treasure, contributed in mock larger proportion by the South than the North,' how die bill to provide for a territorial government for her had been defeated by Northern votes because they could not engraft upon it the Wjlmot proviso, and bow the Northern people were now eager to admit her since she had unauthorisedly and irregularly mot and fhuned a State constitution, i simply because the Sonth are excluded by it from all participation in her territory; how this I mnotitntmn woo kA.
