That Bull!

Some Of our exchanges yet reverberate
with the noise of " that bull" They Can
not let it alone, but seem to have pruri-
ent fondness for goring themselves upon
lis " horns" According to our journal
istic critics, Horn the 1st runs thus
1--WE are at peace with all the world,
and seek to maintain our ,cherlshed re-
Iations of amity with the rest of man
kind"
And Horn the second, after this wise :
While enjoying the benefits of AMIGA
bic intercourse with foreign nations, we
have not been insensible to the distractions
and wars which have prevailed in other
quarters of the world"
We are sorry that we cannot join in the
fun of hurrang after the animal, for veri-
" it hath not to our optics the characteris-
tics of " bull" at all. Letus descend a
little into particulars. The President tells
Congress that we are not only in state
of profound peace with all the world, but
that this peace we are sincerely anxious to
maintain. There is great deal Of deep,

haste, instead of putting {" a bull'' upor
Gen1 Taylor, have really stultifed them
selves, by supposing that the SECOND
clause ought TO be a mere repetition of the
first. What right had they to do any
such absurd thing! After all it is very
likely that, at the bottom, it is the senti

POPULATION AND REVENUE OF
VIRGINIA.

A very interesting document was yes
terday communicated to the House OF Del
egates from the First Auditor, embracing
statements carefully prepared by that 9th
.eer, 10 SOW the white population OF the
four several grand divisions OF the State
in the wear IS49, as calculated from the
'Titheables Z the Revenue contributed by
each division, as we'll inclusive as exclu-
siye of the taxes on licenses; and, finally,
the apportionment of representation III the
Senate and House of Delegates, lst, upon
the basis of white population; 2dly, upon
the mixed basis of white population and
Revenue, exclusive of taxes on licences
and 9dy, upon the mixed basis of white
population and Revenue, exclusive. OF
those taxes.
The results are more favorable TO the
'Traas-Alleghany Division than most per-
sons gay have been led to expect. Mr..

Yes; lucuS q non ucendO. TO 60 TO this
Nashville Convention in the spirit It'll be-
ing got up, for the preservation OF the
Union, is Just such sort Of business, as
going to goats house for wool. Sec
tional Conventions, either at the South or
North, must have sectional objects in view,
and not Union objects. When two parties
are sincerely anxious to come to mutual
terms, the most natural and usual way is
for both parties to meet in conference IN
person, or by representatives. Let the
advocates of a Convention, in our Legls-
Iature, if they be possessed of desire to
maintain the Union and think Conven-
ton necessary for that purpose, change
the place of its meeting to some such bor-
der town as Cumberland. Nd, and invite
the North to meet them there, man for
man. TO such a convention, Union
Convention, composed of the best men oil
each section, we could have no manner OF
objection, providing that the travelling and
other expenses Of the Convention be borne
by itself, until otherwise distinctly ordered
by the people.
The proposition to send 10 men-of
whom we have a compendious sample IN
Mr.. Henry A. Wise-to Nashville, if
passed by the Legislature in compliance
with the recommendation of Gov. Floyd,
will be a usurpation.
Not single member of either House was
elected for any such purpose, or with pow
err to put his hand into the State Treasury
for its furtherance.
In respect to the four delegates who
are to be elected by the Legislature, the
usurpaton is perfect and complete; in re-
spect to the fifteen to be chosen by the
people, the principle is equally wrong,
though modified in It's operation TO make
it colorado, and give an odor Of populari-
ty. But the people of Virginia have too
much intelligent perception Of what is due
TO their own sovereign rights, to allow
themselves TO be juggled out OF them by
even SO astute Bit legerdemain as this
thimble-rig business of getting an implied
popular consent 10 the schemes of, atleast,
possible Disunionists. No Convention
ought to be permitted, until the clearly ex-
pressed sentiment of majority of the
people of the State has been made in its
favour.
As at present advised we do not believe
the people Of this State sympathize with
the objects of this proposition, nor do they
confess that any necessity for the bare
discussion of such topic as the ami
hilation of the Union, has yet arisen, or is
likely to arise.

Il Report

Of personal rencontre between Col. A'
w. Potter, the newly appointed consul of
the United States at ValparaisO, and Hon.
Henry Stephen Sullivan, nephew OF Lord
PaImerston, and British Charge d Affaires
to Chill, has reached Washington. 1t
occurred at Lima in Peru. The story
runs that Col. Potter had taken lodgings
temporarily for himself and family at
hotel inI.ima, that during his absence in an
other part Of the city, these lodgings were
entered and taken forciblc possession of by
Sullivan and his family, they turning Mrs.
Potter and her child out of doors, and 9th.
erwise maltreating and grossly insulting
her. That Col. Potter permitted SulIl-
vans family 10 remain in the lodgings
they had so violently seized, but subse-
qucnhy finding Sullivan himself, inhictc d
upon him a severe and neutrality-suspicious.
with cane. All Lima approved of Col.
Potter's spirited conduct as warmly as
Sullivan's dastardiness was censured, and
the opinion was expressed that instead OF
consul, Col. Potter ought to be promoted
at once to Chargeship at least.
The reader will agree with US that this
is most extraordinary story, placing as
it does not only Sullivan's, but his lami-
Iy's conduct in light below what might
be expected from savages. Should il nrn
out correct, however, Col. Potter will be
universally applauded, though his claim
should be to high miIitary,rather than dip
lomatic distinction. No doubt more of
this affair will come out shortly.
