N e think the Bee evinces a deficiency of recut intelligence not to be accounted for by the fact that it is located at the end of be4eje, ph The-Boeit seams, has not hearithiat. the States of Massachusetts, New York andOhlio; have thus fur failed to elect Senators to Congress, front the unset tied condition of their Legislatures on this "Very setfierrient. Nor does this proceed frap1 the opposition of a few otlponents of it ir these tatee, for in fact the comprnni. aers ar so few that they are only able to act'ii'Opoliey of frustration--a policy hipbtho ompromisers denounced the: uther~n ultra4 for resorting to last session. It) Massachusetts the election of a Janiing Freesgil enemy of the Compromise h ithhusdfar only required the vote of two c mpromisers. In New York a single Whig of the State Senate, has defeated the election of i lamul too, Fish, an adherent of Mr. Seward. In Ohio, a few State Senatnrs, of both parties, jefeatem the election of a Freesoiler there. These compromisers who insist so much on submission to the will of a majority, are all opposing the choice of decided majorities of ,thelr Legislatures on joint ba'lot, if that couldbe taken. Then there is Vermont, she has nullified the Compromise; Pennsylvainia ha refused to repeal her State law in opposition in it. The candidute of the Detocracy for Gov ernor, in New Hampshire, Mr. Atwood, has written two letters against the compromise and only oer in favor of it. Visconsin has elected an opponent of the compromise to the Senate. Connecticut is notoriously opposed to it. These States, all Northern, have oilw more members in the House than all the South. Then there are South Caro Jina and Mississippi, both well known to be opposed to it. And we believe not a single Southern Legislature has yet declared even its acquiescence or rescinded its res olutions of last year. If this is what the Bee calls the general approbation of the people for that tmensure, the Bee must have contracted a notion of language and conduct eminently original, and such as to lead us to the suspicion that the editor of that print is engaged in a series 6f excruciati g jokes at the expense of the poor compromisers, whilst pretending to accuse us of falling asleep "just a year ago," Which was some five months tetore the Southern Press begun.-[ Souehern I'ress. 10 BILE, FEll. 10.

Quitman arose and stated that, waiving the reading of the indictmnent, he desired to enter the plea of not guilty, and should demand a speedy trial, as he had re signed his office as Governor, for the pur to enter into a recognizance to appear from day to day until his trial. The court ordered the clerk, Mr. J. W. Gurley, to take the recognizance of Gen. Quitman, in the stum of $1,000. TIhe Geneial then entered into bond, with Mr. Henry W. Hill as surety. Th riCourt. stated to Gen. Quitmnan that? it should give hinm as speedy a trial as wvas in its power. Mr Benjamin then resumed his argument. --Register. 'THE FIRST AND LAST FATAL DUEL nv ILLINorAs-In the year 1820 a duel wais fought in JBellevillo, 5'. Clair counitv, tbc. tween Alphonse Stewart and Wiliamt Eennuett. Tihe sconds hiad made it up to be a sham duel; Stewart, one of the parties was supposed to be in the secret; btut Bennett, his adversary, believed it to he a reality. It is supposed that Bennett somewhat suspected a trick, and after re ceivinag his gun fronm his second, rolled a ball into it. At the wvord fire, Stewairt tell rmortally wounde ; Bennett. was inidictedl, tried, and convicted for murder. A great effort was made to precure him a par don; b ut Gov. Bond would yield to no eot reaties, and Bennett, suffered the extreme penality of the law by hanging, in the presence of a great multitude of people. This w~as the first and the last duel which has ever beeni fought in the state by fniy of its citizens. The hanging of Bennett made duelling discreditable ;and S unpopular; and laid the foundation of th abhorrence of the practice which ha~s beeun felt and expressed by the people of lilinois .The present Judge Lockwood was thi.n Attorney General of the state, and prose outed mn this ease; to his talents and sutc cesp as a prosecutor, the people are in-. dabted for this-early p recedet and exarnm ple, which did more than is generally sup. posed to prevent thme practice of duellhng from being itroduced into his state.

It is with pleasure therefore that we notice the fornation of a company for tmtanfacturing paper on a large scale, ini our own State. 'T'le Company has purchased a favorable location on lorso Creek, a few miles he low Granitevible, and within one hundred feet of the Itail Road, and have secured an abundant supply of pure Spring water. - Te work has been commenced already and will be completed in about six months.

A Convention of the people has boon called and delegates to It have bden ejedted; delegates, who we venture, in advance of accurato information, to predict, will, wheq assembled together, be willing and determ. ined, as individuals and as representatives of an indignant people, to pursue that course which alone can maintain our honor and secure our liberties, a separation from those whose contact is baneful. But the. meeting of that Convention i6 afar ofi. The contingency is barely possi. blo which will enable it to assemble during this year, and during the interval the peo. ple will rmain without organization. In all or nearly all of the Districts in our State, Sonherr Rights Associations indleed have beer formed, but these Associations are disconected and have no concert or unity of tction. The niw and untried relation., which we may inve soon to asstume towards other States, slould be well considered in all their bearings. What now seem dangers may, waen more closely and clearly viewed, to found to be but shadows, with nothing of substance in them. The com bined wisdom of the State may be able to throw so strong a light upon that which we believe to be the only path of'honor, that even the most timid shall be assured and apprehensions which now unnerve their arms shall be scattered to the winds. The desired combination and organization we believe may be ef'ected by adopting and carrying out the subjoined resolution: "Whe: eap, it is deemed highly important by the Committee of Safety of the Southern Rights Association of St. Phillip and St Michael Parishes, that the various kindred Associations in tais State should be fully informed of each other's views and opinions as to our wrongs and the mode and mea sures of their redress, and that a more perfect organization and closer union should be formed between them in view of their own efficiency and the future action of the State: Therefore Resoved, That the Southern Rights A. sociations throughout the State he invited, through thme Chairman and Secretary of this Committee, to send Delegates to a Gen eral Convention of these Associations, to be held in Charleston on the first Manday in May next." The Mercury makes the following just comments upon this movement: . The importance of their being in full communtieation with each other, none can doubt. The dissemination of information, the reconcilettent of conflicting opinions, and the adoption of practical measures for the advancement of their comnon objects, all depcnd upitv such free comtunication. We trust that no Association in the State will fail to send a strng delegation to the proposed Convention in May next. The idea -f such an organization of South ern Rights Associations, by a general meet ing of Delegates, was first started:in Ala bama, where it was received M. soot, as proposed, with universal and warm approval, andh=C yntinn of ..relegates met in Mdfrit nry lloini t liifetadearo~,. ceedings cannot fail to have a great eflcet en thme putblic opinion of thte State. and in every way strengthen the Association for the won k they haave before them. The Assaociationt here at onice recognized the wisdom o this movemtent in Alabarna, and tollowed its example. These Convemn tions of the individual States, soon wall leaid to a Convention of the Southernt Rights Associations of the whole South, and then the great cause wvill rest on sairnething like a firm and effective organtizaition. It is through this orgntization alone, thtat we niust look to see the Sou'h brought in c harmiony, and her safetyv and lastinag inter eatst inatdo a power that shall 5weep) all tritnmners, self-seekers at-d traitors out 01 her pathI.

Cut Tl. PREAMSBLLM -ANDI ltR$SoLtlTONs pf the d6uihern Rights G nveitidai of Alabama, adopted on the 10th of February, 1851: -Titoprenn18bttotld Catistitution of th' United Statos declares the objects for which thne government of the United States was formed. Those objects were "tq form a . more perfect Union, establish justice, en sure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general wel. fare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity." Those objects, in our opinion, have been wilfully disregarded in tn administration of the governmnent-comnmencing with the law admit, ing Missouri into the Union, and closing with the late syrstem of measures, miscalled the Compromise. 'T'ihe pretence upon which this system of hostile legislation has been based, is that slavery is a moral and political evil-its end and aim the emancipation of every slave in the United States. The governent is in the hands of a sec tional majority, and political interests and cons:iennious convictii'ns of duty alike urge them to the successful prosecution of this system. Believing that the aim in the formation t of this governnent is no longer to be ob. served in its administration, we, the dole gates of the Southern Rights Association of Alabama, in Convention assembled, do resolve. 1 That :n our opinion, the powers grantedJ to the General Government by the people of the State, have for a long series of years, been perverted by a dominant sectional t rnajnrity to the aggrandisenent of the non slaveholding-and to the oppression of the slaveholding States. 2 That In our opinion, powers have been exercised by the General Government for "F the purpose of restraning the extensicn of the institution of slavery, and of eradicating it in places where it now exists, which were not granted to it by the people of the States. " 3 That in our opinion, a radical change ls been effected in the character of the General Gosernmont by the success of this system of legislation; that the power and dignity of the Union hnar;jbecome destruc tive, in a very great degree, of the rightsa and dignity of thae.States which created it. 4 That a tanesubmsston to, or a patient acquiescence in this hostile and unconstitu tional legislation would not, in our opinign, be conducive to the peace, happiness, pros parity and honor of.the Southern States. 5 That we tully indorse the doctrine of Mr. Madison, no contaued in .the.
