T<iirly*rir?t Congress? 1st Session.
Washington, August 2,1850.
Senate.?The California hill was taken up,
k the question being on the amendment offered by
Mr. Foote, restricting the southern boundary
to the line of 35 deg. 30 min.
Mr. Berrien spoke in favor of it.. California
must be divided so as to afford the chance of a
slave State, if we wished to save the Union.
Mr. Foote and Mr. Atchison spoke in favor
of the amendment.
Mr. Badger addressed the Senate at length
on the state of the question between the North
and the South.
Mr. Jefferson Davis moved 30 30 as the southern
limit of California. Lost, ayes *23, nays 32.
Mr. Foote moved to strike out the whole hill
after the enacting clause, and inserting in lieu
therefor: the omnibus, excepting California and
Utah, with the amendment offered by Mr, Doug. |
lass as a substitute for Mr. Dawson's amend- j
tnent. Iiis object was to present the territorial j
questions to the House before California.
Mr. Rusk hoped the Senator would see the |
propriety of withdrawing the amendment. The
Texas question was not necessarily connected
with any other.
Mr. Foote said it was necessary to fix a J
boundary line or provide for its ascertainment
Texas was not more concerned in the boundary'
adjustment than any other State, except that
^ she was on the border.
Mr. Clemens said we could not get a vote to*
TT ' ? I.net 1(1
dav. tie nioveu uu aujuu>?u.v..?
to 28.
Mr. Rusk would feel it his duty to vote against
the amendment. He wished the disturbing
questions settled as much as any man. The
Texan boundary had nothing to do with the
slavery question. It was simply a question
whether the territory of New Mexico was in
the Texan limits or not
. Mr. Foote withdrew the amendment, stating
that he would offer it in some other form, giving
time for consultation.
Mr. Hunter said we arc all worn down. We
had better postpone the bill and adjourn to Mon-!
day. He moved to postpone the bill till Monday.
Agreed to.
Tl 1??l,o Snnnte niliniirn

Mr. Pearce rose to give notice that on Mon- j
day next he would ask leave to introduce a bill
to establish the territorial government of New
Mexico, and settle the boundaries of Texas.
After Executive session, the Senate adjourned.
Washington, Aug. 5.
In Senate. Mr. Cass' resolution in favor of a
law prohibiting the interference of military officers
iu civil affairs, was taken up.
Mr. Jefferson Davis replied, at great length,
to Mr. Houston's remarks of a former day, concerning
General Taylor's operations on the Rio
Grande. Mr. Davis vindicated General Taylor
from Mr. Houston's animadversions.
The subject was postponed.
Mr. Pearce rose and said lie had prepared a
. bill to settle the boundaries of Texas. lie
made some rem .s in explanation of it. The
great obstacle to o?r progress^vas tbip question
of boundary, and it was the cause of the defeat
of the compromise bill. It seemed to liiia right
and politic that each measure should be judged
of by itself. It would have more strength singly
tliau in combination with others.
It was a question that involved tlio peace
and happiness of the United States. lie had
intended in his proposed measure to deal liberally
with Texas. The boundary which he
proposed would not suit every one, but he believed
that it combined many advantages. The
1 ? ? -t. . 1:11
bill was partly oaseu on mo uuiuucicu vain >>
the session by the Senator t'roiu Missouri, (Mr.
Beutou )
He went on to describe the boundary which
he had chosen.
The bill was read. It is a bill proposing to
Texas a northern and western boundary, and
a relinquishment of certain claims.
1. The bill provides that, if the proposition is
agreed to by the Legislature of Texas, by the
first of December next, it shall be obligatory 011
the United States and Texas.
2. The Northern boundary to commence at
the intersection of the lOOtii degree of West
longitude, with a parallel of .'Hi degrees 30 minutes
North latitude; tunning thence on that parallel
to the 103d degree of West longitude;
thence South to the 3'cd parallel of North latitii
tint Rio (Jramie:
IUVIU auu aiun^ uiac w ,
and thence down that river to the CJulfof Mexico.
3. Texas to relinquish all claims to territory
North of boundary proposed, and also till claims
under articles of annexation.
4. United States in consideration of the above
ten millions to be paid to Texas in U. S. stock.
5. Five millions reserved to meet payment of
Texas bonds issued upon faith of custom duties.
~ ?fhe subject was laid over.
The California bill was then taken up, and
reported to the Senate.
The question was on engrossment.
Mr. Foote despaired of obtaining any amendment
of the bill favorable to the South. The
failure of the Compromise Kill had destroyed
all hope of this. His duly was discharged except
to vote according to his instructions as ho
understood them.
Mr. Butler made sonic explanations.
Mr. Foote proceeded in reply, to show that
the line of 35.30 would have been adopted if
the other portion of the bill could be sustained.
After some remarks from Messrs. Soule, Mason,
Foote, Yulce, Dayton, Badger, Atchison,
and Badger, the Senate adjourned.
Washington, Aug. 3,1850.
The Senate was not in'session to-day, and the
proceedings of the House were without interest,
the Indian Appropriation bill being under consideration.
The bill for the admission ot California
will not be permitted to pass the Senate
without resistance, and that of the sternest and
most determined character. The friends of the
South in that hodv feel it their duty to oppose
and obstruct the aggressive measures of the
majority by all the means which aro afforded
' by the rules of legislation, and these properly
applied and resolutely persisted in, tin* passage
passage of any measure can be delayed until
the day of doom. To those who profess de
votion to the South, while they lire terrified at
the idea of disunion, this course, no doubt, will
be gladly embraced, as it will present an opportunity
of peaceful yet effectual resistance,
by which they may protect the South and present1
the Union. A sufficient number of Senators
have already solemnlv pledged themselves
to this course to render it effectual, and if the
effort to admit California with her present
boundaries is persisted in, you may expect a
protracted session, and a struggle unexampled
in our legislative history.

DISUNION?SECESSION.
We have had no disposition to discuss these
topics?and have abstained from them. We j
thought it our duty as Southerners and as Amer- !
: j._ nmsAiit nn nrfninioilt. to I
ICHlin I'? ltri> iiji hk !> ? o
sustain tlie Constitution and the rights of the j
South. And we did not desire to introduce any j
topics to excite the passions and disturb the !
judgment of the people North or South.
We replied therefore, to but one of these articles
recently published in the Republic, and
waived a response to the other two. But the
Northern papers seem fond of the subject, and
as they labor under great hallucinations that
j may le^d them td fatal conclusions, we must
again interpose.
We shall not now reply to the doctrines of
General Jackson's proclamation, revived by the
Republic, because many of them were explained
away and renounced by his own authority in
the Globe, even after that document appeared
?and have been exploded. As for the notion
of the Republic, that "The United States." or
the Government of the United States would remain
in the sense those terms are now understood,
after a number of the States, or half the
States had renounced the Union, it is utterly untenable.
A majority of the Senators of all the
existing States is necessary, under the Constitution,
for a quorum to transact business. If
half of them were to withdraw, there could be
no quorum.

dent by districts, the Constitution requires " a
majority of all the States to elect." If two
States were to withdraw, and the remaining
twenty-eight were to be nearly equally divided,
there could be no election?and the Government
would fall. That event might happen, indeed,
bv an equal vote of all the existing States.
If one State should withdraw, there could be
neither a Senate nor a House of Represents*
tives under the existing Constitution; for it declares
that the Senate shall ho composed of two
Senators from each Slate, and the House, of j

Stales. Nor could :i President be elected at all,
if one State withdrew; for the Constitution requires
each State to appoint Presidential Electors,
and o majority is required to elect.
The Albany Evening Atlas does.not trouble
itself with argument or Constitution, hut relies
on power, in the following:
In case of the secession of several States, or
of half the States, we should like to know who
would he.".the peoyle of the-.Euilcd States."
Southern Press.
" This is a question that will not take long in
the answering, should the disunionists make one
movement in their treasonable purpose. They
would see and feel who the people of the United
States are.
With all their respect for the sovereignty of
States, and their repugnance to the exorcise of
restraint, and loathing of war, above all, of a
war between kindred races, we do not believe
that the people of the Union would ever consent
to the existence of an independent confederation
in the South. Such a confederation
could only maintain itself by foreign alliance.
The principle enunciated by President Monroe
that no foreign government should be permitted
I to establish dominion on this Continent, would
operate in this case of secession. The political
necessity, or the rule of policy, or the appetite
for dominion, which constituted tho action of
the government in regard to Louisiana, Florida,
Texas and the recent acquisitions from Mexico,
would forbid the existence of an alien State in
the heart of the Confederacy.
A confederacy composed of South Carolina,
Georgia, and perhaps two more States, could
have no internal strength, and no foreign alliance
except at the double cost of dependence
on distant power and of irreconcilable enmities
here. If it were larger it would be still more
necessary to crush it, for its offence, beirtg the
fact of its existence, would he aggravated in
proportion to its forinidablcness. This is plain
speaking, hut if there is any one so iufatuatud
as to believe that the people liviugon the branches
of the Mississippi, will ever consent that its
mouths shall be under a foreign Hag, such a one
requires plain talking to."
Does the Atlas forget that some three thousand
Seminole warriors defied the power of the
States united, for years ? Does he forget
that those Indians foiled the genius of Gaines,
Scott, 'lavlor, and Jessup, at the head of as
many troops as could lie employed against them?
that these were the Generals who have astonished
the world by their victories? that Gener-.
al Jackson was President?and that the war
cost us forty millions? Does he suppose that
the people of any State in the Union have less
genius, courage and resources than the Seininoles?
We have heard people talk of blockading
Southern ports. Well if that could be done it
would inflict ten times the injury on tno iNortn
as the South. Where would he the cotton mills
of the manufacturing North? Where their markets?
Where the markets for Western produce?
But the thing could not be done. No
commerce so rich and so indispensable to the
world as the Southern could be cut off. The
smuggler would defeat all the navies in the
world- The attempt has been made to suppress
the slave trade?that trade has increased
in contempt of English, French, and American
navies. Great Britain is sea-gil t,and navy-girt
Yet the smuggler will pass her lines of battle
ships for twenty-five per cent, and sell bis contraband
goods in contempt of the most powerful
interior government and police the world has
known, and in contempt of the hostility of the
I great mass of the people. So also in France.
But how could the interior frontiers of a seced|
ing State be guarded ? Such a State would
supply her neighbpvpwith that 8_>rt of merchandize
which now pays federal duty atNew York.
But what could the federal government do
with a seceding State, even after overrunning
her with troops ? Would she he held as a conquered
province ? The Constitution binds the
United States to guarantee a republican form
of government to each State. How could that
guarantee be fulfilled towards a people opposed
to a union with the other States ? How could
her government be republican if she were coerced
or occupied by foreign troops.
It is obvious therefore tha* the idea of maintaining
this Union by compulsion, is preposterous.
The only bonds that hold it together are
justice, mutual regard, and mutual interest.?
But when one section undertakes to seize and
appropriate the share of the other to a vast territorial
domain, the deed is a fbiirrant violation
and rupture of these bonds that none but the
blind can fail to see.
"Who fetters fame with flaxen hand,
Or hinds the sea with r<>|ie of sand,
I lath yet a harder task to prove,
J>y flagrant fraud to hold our love-"
And if submission is exjtected, why even Mexico
would not submit to the loss of :i narrow
strip of tliis very territory, until site had poured
out her blood on many a battle field. Is it expected
that the South which had the principal
share in the conquest of Mexicans, will now display
less spirit than those whom she has done
so much to overcome ?

sense to use the term " Southern Literature"
as I am free to confess that we have never as yet,
given it a fair opportunity to develope itself. It
shall therefore only be spoken of as something
needed, something in demand, and something
easily attained. All that is wanted is patronage?let
Southerners patronize their own papers,
their own Renews, Magazines, dtc., and
the thing will soon come to a head. It will
bring out talents which tinly lacks the opportunity
for a proper development That is the
requisite step; let it be taken, and the North
cannot surpass us in quality, finish, elegance,
taste, or price. The greater the number of
subscribers, the less the price, is a good rule,
aud one which our people ought to think of and
apply.
Suppose the thousands sent by 82's, and
85's to the North every year-titWeHaid out on
the "Southern Quarlerly," or"Wbitaker's Magazine,"
the "Literary Messenger," with others
too numerous to mention, the "Palmetto State

Blackwood, so the second and third named,

waved out at one dollar per annum, and the
"State Rights Republican," even now as cheap

will, nearly double its size, and afford
abundant reading matter, in addition to the
"latest intelligence" and "prices current"

Gentlemen: It lias fallen to my lot, in tailing
the census, to have a pretty good view of the
crops of this District. In many places the dry
weather has pretailed to such an extent that
people will not make enough bread to do them;
in others, the crops are tolerable, and in a few
places they are excellent. The best Corn crop
that I have seen belongs to Col. B. II. Brown,
and appears not to have suffered a day for rain.
Crops in the upper part of the District are uot
as good as those in the lower. The whole District
is completely paralyzed with dry weather
and candidates. The latter have overrun every
section, corner, and hole, within their knowledge.
There are for the Legislature, seven;
Senate, three; Sheriff', three; Clerk of the Court,
seventeen; Tax Collector's ollicc, twenty-three;
Ordinary, eighteen: making in all seventy-one;
and when this swarm conies down upon a small
crowd of jicople it is indeed the time to try
their souls." I was upon the track of sixteen
or seventeen of them the other day, I reached
a house, and before 1 could commence asking
the lailv of the house how many horses, hogs,
dogs, cats, Jic., she had, she said (taking me
for one of the swarm): " 1 am very sorry my
husband is not here, he has promised to vote for
all the candidates, anil I have no doubt if he
was here, he would promise you." 1 proceeded
on my way, and saw a man ploughing not
j far from the road ; as soon as lie saw me he
commenced whipping and going faster; after
proceeding some little distance, he motioned
iiis arm towards me: "Go on, go on," said lie,

Runaway Slave Cask.?A Portsmouth
correspondent oi' the Bee states that a vessel
which arrived at that plnce on the 2!)th ult.,
from Pensacola, had on board a slave who had
stowed himself on board, and was not discovered
until she was far out at sea. Letters had
been received from Pensacola requesting that
he might be taken care of for his master, but
the abolitionists got wind of the matter, and
according to the writer's account, which is not
a very clear one, they boarded the vessel in the
lower harbor, got up a quarrel with the captain,
blows ensued, the captain was arrested for assault,
and the slave summoned as a witness.?
As soon as they got on shore, the captain was
guttered to go at targe, anu uie stave wua tancu

his master considerable money by working upon

Hon. R. Barnwell Rhett.
We believe the ppople of South Carolina will
not be surprised or disappointed, if this true Southrnn
and distinguished gentlemen should be elected
our Senator at the next session of the Legislature.
His titles at this crisis, and the late' treasonable
abuse which has been lavished upon his name, as
well as the fate or doom which old Chalky has
rtinrlrart mif f/ir ltioi will in nnr nriSninn tnnrl trorv
considerably to producp this result His vhra or
/reasonable notions, as Mr. Clay would have it, aie
rather more generally entertained at the South
than some have imagined. Father Ritchie has at
last, it appears, awoke to the consciousness of the
fact, that there are more than "one whose speech
breathes discontent and disunion."
The next President of the S. C. College.
A writer in the Palmetto State Banner has nominated
Dr. Samuel Henry Dickson for this important
and distinguished position; to this the Charleston
Evening News responds:
It would be difficult to obtain a more suitable
head for that institution. To great learning in the
faculty, Dr. Dickson unites a general knowledge of
letters and science. In manner he is courteous,
dignified and conciliatory, and while discharging
faithfully his duties, would secure the respect and
love of the students. We hope the proper authorities
will call to that noble establishment, as President,
one so admirably calculated to increase its
popularity and usefulness; and who to eminent
ability and high social merits, adds the quality, a
great one with us, of being a Carolinian. We hope
never to see the authorities of any of our state institutions,
going abroad to seek for officers, while
so many hightniuded and honorable persons are
to be found at home.
The Clay Rappings.
The only thing that has occurred to elevate
Mr. Clay in the estimation of the country, is
the "Rappings" in the galleries lately?and we
think if he would thiuk of thern coolly, he would
not hold thein as very enviable praise. We consider
them worth just about a3 much as the "Rochester
knockiugsT willi much less of mystery attached
to them. They, both alike, owe their origin
to^deceptivc appearances. Why the veriest
trifler in the country, if he could get on the Senate
floor, just now, and be allowed the chance to speak
?and cry out with, upturned eyes, the "glorious
Union," and pull a piece of rope from his pocket,
would gain "thundering applause" from the galleries.
And why? because .the galleries are tilled
I mitli (linen tnlinen run- nvwlmmn iltmun/lc nil thp
existence of the Union. Break -the Union, and
they have to work to get bread to break. Office
seekers will rap when they hear the Union lauded
?and from the number which throng the galleries
it is no wonder that Mr. Clay should be "loudly
applauded" therefrom. It seems, to a candid observer,
that a Senator should wish his applause to
be made of "sterner stuff"." How very different,
that outbursting and. reiterated sanction, which
arises like a mighty incense from the Southern
people, according a hearty well-done to those Senators,
who in their love for the Union, has not forgotten
the rights of the South. We really think
that Mr. Clay, since he has growu so extremely
national lately, should have a more extended applause
than that from the hungry office seekers in
the gallery.
Roi/t?rtnvArnor of North Carolina.
We think we may make the above announcement
safely. The glorious old North State is
wheeling into line. Reid is a southern man. Manly
is one of the submission school. The counties
we have heard from gives a large democratic gain,
and we feel sure Reid is elected.

We have received a copy of the excellent Address
delivered be-fore the .Beaufort-Yoluuleer Ar-.

Esq. The orator briefly but forcibly points out
the tendency of all governments to change. On
the history of the American Union he says: "The

be repeated with truth. Three quarters of a century
