The National Executive Democratic Committee luctnt Wosliington on the 7th inst. All the States were represented except Maryland, Georgia, Alabama niul California. After n brief interchange of opinion, the 23d of April, was fixed for the time of the meeting of the Notional Dpmoeratie Convcutioo. THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE. The President's Message fills seven columns of the Co'iidtulion. According to report, it practically repeats the recommendation ol last year concerning Mexico, by investing the Executive vit.li iiicrcn*>.<i power to use the nriuy and navy at discret ion ; aud enlarges upon the Harper's Ferry affair and too Union. The Message will not he sent from Washington until the President knows what the House does, provided the organization of that body is a peeJy one, and no copies of the Secretaries are re to be given out, except as accompaniments with the President o Messairc. THE SAFETY OF THE SOUTH. The Charleston Mercury suggests, that n Committee or Safety, composed of the older and more discreet men, be formed in every District, County or raris.'i in the South, for the purpose of considering nnd judging of ail bi:epicious persous; and, in order that they may ! be detected and apprehended, let Committees of Vigilance, which hliull coi.biet of young men, be appointed all over the said Districts, Counties and Parishes. By such nn organization the Southern people will be able to pro tect themselves, and at the same time, eosure a due administration of justice. Union and harmony will also be sccured amongst ourselves, which no crude, irregular efforts ngaiaat individuals can obtain. THE LEGISLATURE. The Blue Ridgo Railroad Bill?with the amendment of Mr. Ficklintr, that theStaleflub cribe $310,000 to complete the Road to Wal hallo, nnd the pro%i.su of Mr. Ma<s\ck that the proposed subscription be not mode until it is ascertained that other subscriptions nre collected?has passed the Senate by a vote of 24 to 21. On motion of Mr. M'Caw, the bill to establish a separate Court of Appeals was reconsidered and passed by the following vote, yeas 24, nays 21. A bill rendering compensation to the fanilies of persons killed by the fault of others was passed. A bill amending the Constitution of the State and providing for a change in the time nf ?l ' ? -. ..v.u.ug liic vieciiou ior acute officers from two days to one day, was passedThe Commitlc od Military affairs recommend an appropiation of ?30,000 to the Foorth Brigade of the City of Charleston. 9 ? THTEREBTINO POSTAL DECISION. A husband who had been separated from hia wife, demanded that his village postmaster ahould deliver her letter* to him, and threatened a suit at law if his demand was not complied with. The wife on the other hand, forbade the delivery of her letters to the husband. In Utese circumstances, the postmaster appealed to Mr. Holt for instructions.? Mr. llolt pronounces the claim advanced by the hasband too preposterous to be seriously refuted?iudeed, he says it is abhorrent to to law as it is 10 the Christian civilization of the age. The Boston Courier publishes Mr. Holt's letter in full, from which we make the following extract: When a bnsband becomes estranged from wife and abandons her, or by bis neglect or cruelties compels her tn abandon him, it woul J be &3 revolting to hun aoity, as subversive of sonpid morals, to suffer him to cut of her com. nanicalion with thoee relatives and friends to whom in her hoar of trial she might be driven to look for sustenso?*, or for that consolation which she might need, even more than food or raiment. The postmaster was initroeled fcodelic?f latter* to the lady to wjiom they were addressed.

The Bill : to extend aid to the Blue Ridge Railroad was indefinitely postponed in the House, by a vote j of (14 to 56. This result was quite unexpected I to the friends of this great enterprise, but as | there hos been no attempt to reconsider the vote, we suppose that it may bo regarded as a final settlement of the question, for the present j ScRsion, if not forever. Its fate will no doubt seal that of some other enterprises which are now seeking Legislative aid?among others that of tlio Greenville and French Broad Railroad. The appropriation to the State Capitol, we suppose, is ?afe beyoud n continirflnnr linwoi'i.t' iwiiau ? * b??v^, ...uvu ..icuiorio insy regrei the commencement of that costly work. The whole cost of the work, we see is estimated l>y the Architect, not to exceed 92,000,000. The IJoiHeBill to establish a Separate Court of Appeals, lifts been Again defeated. The Bill received the support of some of the most distinguished lawyers of the State, but was unacceptable to the Bar generally. Tbc chief objection to the measure seems to have been, its t>v..l?>l.Li :? * ? ??-- ? "L ' , . wV,..,.w vtiww in v?*r^i uuiu^ liic ^ueitHMi ui me present Circuit Judges, whilst it would crcnte an independent tribunal, at too great a remove from the people to sympathise with their judicial necessities. The Bill wua defeated by a vote of 59 to 44. An important Dill for the Codification of the Statute Luw of the State, lias passed the House and now awaits the a-ctiou of the Senate. The Dill provides for the annual elcctiou by the Legislature of a Comm issioner whose duty it 6liall be, to digest the whole body of the Statute Law, into a cod e?making such repealsand amendments as he shall deem advisable, and reporting annually to the Legislature, who shall take all proper action in the premises?the salary of the Commissioner to be $5,000, with the liberty of appointing two or more assistants, who together shall not receive more thuii $4,000. We see it stated in vavious quarters that Judge Wabblaw will probiiblv be selected on account of hio peculiar fitness for the task. With regard to the propriety of the stlectioo, the Columbia Guardian remarks: ' We should regard the eeloclion of Judge Wardlaw as eminently fit and judicious. Without enumerating them, we think him possessed of the very qualities of mind and character, the ver3- habits of research and comparison, and the very principles of taste and judgment, which are demanded for the successful performance of eo important and responsible a duty." A Bill has passed the Ilouse, for enlarging the jurisdiction of the Commissioner in Equity, by conferring upon him the power of appointing the Guardians of his Court. The design of the Bill is to obviate the inconvenience of makillff annlientinn tn n rliilnnt during a recess of the Court. Tlie Committee on Federal Relations, t? whom vns referred thut portion of Gov. Gist's message referring to those matter?, offered two reports?a majority and minority report. The majority stand on the ordinance of 1852, seeking co-operation. They make common cause with Virginia, and recommend the appropriation of a contingent fund in tho hands of the Executive. The minority assert that South Carolina will aid Southern Stales in or out of the Union, and recommend that the military fund be increased. The following is the Ordinance and Resolution which the committee would reaffirm : Ordinance ok 1852. W<\ the people of the State of South Carolina, in convention assembled, do declare and ordain, and it is hereby declared and ordained, ihut South Carolina, in the exercise of her sovereign will ns an independent State ncceded to the Federal Union, known as the United States of America, and that in the cxercisc of the same sovereign will, it is her right, without let, hindrance or molestation from any power whatsoever, to secede from the said Federal Union ; and that for the sufficiency of the causes which tnay impel her to such separation she ia responsible alone, under God, to the tribunal of public opinion among the nations of the earth. Resolution of 1852. Rttolvcd by Ihr ptople of South Carolina, in Convention aa*etnbUa, That the frequent violntionsof tbe Constitution of the United States and the Federal Ciovernmenl, aild its encroachmeats upon the reserved rights of the sovereign State* of the Union, especially in relation to slavery, amply justify this Stntc. so far i?3 any duty or obligation to her confederates is involved, in dissolving at once all political counectiou with her co-States ; and tliat she forbears the exercise of this manifest right of self government from considerations of expediency only. me following important Bill has been introduced into the Senate, by Col. Marshall, in relation to Hawkers and Pedlars; and which the necessities of the times so earnestly demand: A Bill to Alteu and Amend the Law in Relation to Hawkers and Peddler*. Sec, 1.

This Bill was defeated in the House on Friday last The following are the closing scenes of the debate: Mr. Hammond moved that the debate be adjourned to Tuesday next. Mr. Memminger"hoped not; but (hat the House would adjourn it only until to-inorrow. To-day being Friday, and to-morrow Saturday, hfr hoped they would go on. Mr. Farrow thought that the fact of to-day being Friday, and to morrow being Snturday is a conclusive reason why the special order should be discharged to the time proposed at the last session. iShe cry of the friends of the measure was, "discussion and if there is to l. hj: - - - " ? uu uiscusaion, let mat be had before a full Iluuse, and let not the question be taken before a house thinned by absences, as this probably will be to morrow and Monday. Many members will leore hero to morrow, and not bo back before Monday afternoon. Bv the postponement being made to Tuesday, all will imve a chance to hear the whole discussion and in addition, the vote then will insure a fair expression of the sense of the House. Mr. Perry hoped that members coming here to legislate, would atav and do their business, lie thought they should postpone no bill for the purpose of ullowing members to go home. Itwasn very short session, and it behooves thein to remain and do the business of the country There was no disposition of the frends of the measure to suppress discussion, but they wUhcd tbe debate to go ou regularly. Sir. Farrow replied, that In the wish he had expressed for a postponement to Tuesday, he was not actuated by any wish to gratify himself; it was only to have a discussion and vote before. Mr. MullitiR, after n few remnrks, moved an indefinite postponement of the bill. The yeasand mays being demanded, resulted ns follows: Ykas.?Messrs. J.

Since the publication of the opinion of the Attorney General of Virginia, sustaining the constitutionality of the statute of that State prohibiting the circulation of incendiary doc uunentB by mail, a deputy postmaster in the State has written to the Postmaster General for instructions in the matter. Mr. Holt, in reply, sanctions the opinion of the Attorney Geaeral, mid says that the deputy postmasters, as good citizens, are bound to yield obedience to their Statu lews. He says in conclusion : "The people of Virginia may not only forbid Hie introduction nnd dissemination of such documents within their borders, but, if brought there in the mails, they may. by appropriate legal proceedings, have them destroyed. They have tb.- same right to extingi:i*!i firebrands thus impiously hurled into the midst of their homes and altars, that a man has to pluck the burning fuse from a bomb-shell which is about to explode at his feet."
