half of the very thing, connection with which

such connection existed, as q Islander! Why

But there is another circumstance, which

The PEopLE ARE SPEAKING, LET

TRAY THEM HEAR AND BE AFRAID
In Charleston, Chester, Winnsboro',
and many othe places in this State,
the people have met in their primi-
tive assemblies, fully sanctioning the
action of the Nashville Convention,
and expressing with one voice their
unalterable determine ion to stand or
fall by the Southern platform.
In Alabama, Mississippi, and many
other of the Southern States, the peo-
pie are expressing the same determi-
nation, in language equally firm and
unmistakeable. Inthe eloquent words
OF Senator Barnwell, the South is
putting her house in order, not TO die
but to live The people are awake
to the dangers which threaten them.
Injured, msulted, and outraged for
the past forty years, they are deter
mined to retreat no more before the
legions of fanaticism, but here on
this line of 36, 80, they will hold
Their pursuers at bay, and if they are
not allowed peaceauiy to occupy this
ground, here, by the help of of God
and their own strong arms, they will
establish their rights or destroy the
Union.

A Governor of a Southern State,
said to be Gen. Quitman, has sent
te!egraph,c despatch to this city, that
he is ready to march with ten thou

nor Bell, of Texas, will lead the for
ces destined TO eXpel the invaders of
Santa Fc. Gen. Sam Houston has
volunteered his services; but he can
not now be spared in the Senate.
Though great Union man, Sam is
ready 'to hang an intruder within
his own baiiiwick., Sam Houston
might recruit an army from the
North and South, but cannot mag
agine that the Administration is will
ling to risk its existence to satiiy the

in defence of the title claimed by
Texas.
Mr.. Seward followed in speech
of great length in opposition to the

coin money out of admiration.
Mr.. Rusk called the Senator to
order. -
The Wee President said the ques-
ton was one of taste, not order.
Mr.. Seward proceeded to argue

The movement from our shores
against Cuba is exciting much inter-
est on the other side of the waters,
and Europe, England taking the
lead, is admonished to put its crown
ed heads together for the purpose of
dcvising ways and means whereby
10 curtail the rapid extension of our
country.
While the monarchies of the old
world have been waging wars to graf
liy the ambition ofprinces, or butcher
ing thousands in the vain effort to
support tottering thrones, and topper
petuatc worn out institutions, our
country has been silently, but con
stantly widening, and rising, and
waxing strong, until she has became
Great among the mighty of earth,
and kings had as well undertake to
chain the wild biilows of ocean when
the winds are driving over the deep,
as to prevent the moving millions of
our countrymen, impellcd as theya are
by an ineXtinguishable and unknown
energy, and inspired by an andying
desire for advancement and amelio-
ration, from sweeping oceanlike over
the vast continent of America, into
whose dark places providence has
designed they shall carry their liber-
ty, their laws, and their civilization.
The feeble but impassioned Mexicans
will be taught self-government by the
Americans domlciled among them;
the plantations of Cuba ,oiN be ours
the commerce ofthe will pass through
our Central 4mericd, for God has
given to the children Of our race all
that immense space contained be-
tween the polar seas and the equa-
tor.
The Union may and apiH be dis
solved, but ourrace will be none the
less prosperous and happy, for the
impetus which is driving it onward,
and onward, in this grand career,
can never be arrested, and no revo-
lutlons, and no combinations of
earthly powers can prevent us from
ultimately fulfilling the destiny for
which we are reserved.

adopted by a public meeting of citi-
Zens of Wilmington, Dclcware, in OPP
position to the Senate compromise
bill, which were read.
Mr.. Clay said he had no doubt that
the compromise, ifpassed, would give
entire satisfaction to the people of
Delaware, The resolutions, he said,
had a strong diplomatic odor.
Mr.. Wales-Perhaps they have.
But printed forms ofmemorials, in ia
vor of the compromise, We're sent to
Delaware for signatures from this
city, and | have not heard of the first
man in Delaware that signed them.
After someremarks from Mr.. Foote
the resolutions were laid on the table.
Mr.. Cass' resolution, for an inqui-
ry as 70 the eXpcdicncy of prohibiting,
by law, military officers Of the United
States from exercising civil functions,
was tallenup.
Mr.. Elonston spoke in opposition to
Col. Momoe's course in New Mexi-
co and the Presidents policy, WEIGH
had always been hostile TO Texas.
Iie spoke in favor of an adjustment
OF the difficult questions before the
country, and deprecated the Presi-
dents interference as calculated to
embarasss it. He adverted 10 the
Nashville Convention and the sole
and selfappointed delegate from Tex
as to it, and entered his solemn pro-
test against all its proceedings.
The subject was laid aside.
The adjustment bill was taken up,
and Mr.. Bell addressed the Senate.
He said that the subject was bccom-
ing moro complicated and less capa-
bic OF adjustment.
He was mcommitted as to this bill
but he regretted that it was not a
more comprehensive scheme, and
more likely TO give permanent peace
to the country. The bill, if passed,
was but temporary cvpedient, and
in five years, another shock would be
felt. He showed that the Texan
question, as TO the admission of new
States, was not settled by the bill.
The North would never admit new
slave States from Texas. A fearful
