HAND.

We lay before our readers all the intor-
nation we receive from Washington City
and elsewhere, that ihey may be aPprised
as eally as possible, of the Importance Of
their duty to the South. Read what our
worthy representative has written us on
the subject. His letter is dated
WASHINGTON, Angus, 31.t, 1850.
Dear sir We are in the mids off
most exciting debate on the Texas boun-
darv bill and other kindred measures from
The Senate. 1t is impossible to predict
The res III with confidence, but from the
general disposition among Southern men

will be dismembered and ten millions OF
dollars paid TO bribe her into submission

people, iftheo liston to their representa-

the object of the worll's scorn and con"

member who dares to perfolm his duty
