STEUBEEiLLE-Her Improve hents.--In an ar
ticle Under this heading the Daily Herald speaks
confidently Of the improvements now in progress
In that city and congratulates the citizens upon
the prospects Of hOving thriving md populous
place. 1t says that before long they will have
Railroad. Rolling Mill. Gas Works. Soda-ash
Manufactory, White lead Mandatory and three
Glass establishments. All these improvements
are now under way In concluding its article,
the Herald says:-
The above. with sundry other improvements.
such as Bonnet.wre manufactory, Window
sash manuiactory, erection at numerous
business houses and dwelling houses-the ex-
tension Of the city water works-the opening OF
now streets and the grading Of old ones. are a
few among the many unmistakabe evidences,
that Steubenville is undergoing rapid and de-
sirabe revolution-and at no distant day, we can
boast OF large, populous and fourishing city"
We may add to the above list, the very spright.
iy and ably conducted Daily Herald, which our
friend Allison forgot to speak of.
There is nothing like energy and enterprise
mong the citizens of a town or city for tie bull
ding up of the place aud putting it on the high
road to prosperity. Here is an example set wur'
thy of imitation, and from it useful and profit
hble lesson may be learned by other places
These improvements are nuw in progress in
Steubenville simply because the citizens OF that
city have gone to work with the determination
TO make it thriving, populous aud important
place.
We can do Hkewise. 1t is useless any longer
to say that we have not the capital with which to
commence. The condition OF our two Banking
Institutions, which do not begin to represent the
available capital in this county shows the graft
flying fact that there are large amounts seeking IN
vesments and all that is to be done is to convince
these men who have available means that there
are certain improvements which if made will not
only prove profitable Investments, but will in
crease the amount Of available fun ds. This is
not all Experience has proved that judicious
and well.managed enterprises always bring cap.
ital into place. Capital is ever seeking fr prof;
table investments and will take tile direction Of
energy and enterprise. The citizens of this
place have fine opportunities presented to them
They have an excellent location, surrounded by a
thriving. wealthy and populous country, and "a
large scope of territory within which to carry on
their operations. 1t depends upon thier own ell,
ferts to improve these advantages.

Putes the overland emigration this year
at $4,000 Now if we allow each Of
them $500 as an outfit. the gregate
will be fifteen million dollars taken from
the country by this outlet alone. As
much more has gone by the way Of the
Isthmus. and If we reckon the vessels
goods and merchandise generally, sent to
California, the amount will be more
than one hundred millions withdrawn
from the active capital Of the country.
In return, only thirteen millions have
been received from that country. TAX
ing this fact in connection with the di.
minished cotton and tobacco crop of last
year, the light foreign demand for agri.
cultural productions, and our increased
imports, and our faith in the recupera.
tive energies of our country must be
strong indeed. if we believe she will
pass the crisis without shock that will
reach the very centre Of our commercial
and manufacturing system.

We commence on our outside page a
report of the proceedings of the Maryland
Historical Society, in commemoration of
the two hundred and sixteenth anniver-
sary of the landing of the Maryland Pill
grims. They will be read with very great
interest. The speech of Mr.. WEBSTER
is very suitable pendant to his late ora
ton in the Senate, which is now attract
ing such universal attention throughout
the country, and calling forth SO many
commentaries, in kindness or in anger.
The remarks of Sir HENRY BULwER also
are not only conceived in spirit which
commands our warm sympathy and admi-
ration, but are expressed with felicity
Of language and allusion which sustains
the high intellectual distinction that has

Notwithstanding he had himself supported this very
Wimot proviso In it's most odious and Objectionable
features These very men voted for Martin Van
Buren,, and by their votes elevated him to the Pres
dency, in 1886, and attempted 1t again in lS40,
after he had himself voted in the New York
Legislature 10 instruct the Senators and Represen-
tatives of New York to impose his vUy proviso
upon all territory not Comprised in The original boun-
dairy Of the United Statssi lie this all they have
dones BY no means. portion of these hypo-
critical agiators voted for The passage qf the Wilmot
propiso, and they all sustained Mr. Polk in his ap-
proval and signature to il, without any compromise
whatever. II was the most deadly blow ever aimed
at the institutions Of the South; it was blow dealt
by the hands Of a southern Precedent yet. no
southern convention called to assert and main
tain the rights of the South. What hollow hearted
hypocrites! What consistency! What Democra-
cy, Because General Taylor would not commit
the gross ndelicacy, not to say indscsncy, of an
nouncing to the world whether or not he would
veto the Wilmot provso, in advance Of its passage
by C0ngrsss-these patriots call for a southern
convention, to dissolve the Union!
"Oh for a whip in every honest hand
To lash such rascals naked through the land!"
But we are taxing the readers patience too far

end may be- we are sure the wishes and efforts of
the Wing party will be on the side of justice of

WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL 10. 1850.
Congress.

Congress.
In the Senate, Mr.. WEBSTER was ex-
cused from serving on the committee APP
pointed to accompany the remains OF the
late Senator from South Carolina to his
last home. The bill providing for taking
the Seventh Census was then considered;
and, pending motion of Mr.. WHITcoMB
in regard to the printing to be done under
the bill, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, leave was granted to the
select committee to investigate the con-
duct of Mr.. Secretary CRAWFORD in rela
ton to the Galphin claim, to sit during
the sessions of the House, until their du-
ties shall have been performed. After
some debate on a motion to reconsider
the vote by which joint resolution, for
the purchase of American water-rotted
hemp for the use of the navy, was re-
ferred to the Committee of the Whole
on the state of the Union, it was laid
on the table, and the House went into
committee on the California message.
Mr.. HARRIS gave notice of an amend
ment which he intends to offer to Mr..
McCLERNAND's bill; and Mr.. HARRIS,
of Tennessee, and Mr.. CoRwIN, of Ohio,
addressed the committee. Mr.. Ross OBJ
tanned the floor, when the committee
rose. Several Executive communications
were then laid before the House by the
Speaker, one Of them in reference to exc
cutting the 18th article Of the treaty of Qua
dalupe Hidalgo, and another in regard to
the amount required for the service of the
Post Office Department for the next fiscal
year.

come, and those who were present concluded il was
best TO break up without any action whatever So
the Democrats Of Clark county have appointed no
delegates TO the district convention. We infer from
the perfect indifference manifested this occasion
that they have no desire to be represented In the
Nashville convention. Indeed there seems to be a
general conviction pervading the public mind here
that the irritating questions which have distracted
the country will be settled satisfactorily at the pres
ent session OF Congress, and that all sectional &C
ton by the South would now be njudcious. An
other and powerful consideration has BEEN that not
more than half the southern States will probably be
represented in the convention, and that its effect
under such circumstances, would be to weaken, in
stead of strengthen, the of the South. In all
of this reasoning there is great force, and haUe
no hesitation IN saying that the Southern convention
should at least be postponed until after the present
sion Of Congress In THIS VIEW OF THE CASE, WE
SHOULD APPOINT NO DELEGATES"
The paper from which the above extract is taken
is a leading Democratic journal Of the State Of
Georgia, and it, we see, throws cold water upon
the movement in the most decided manner, it hav
discovered that the people not with them.
Here is another item from the NsD Orleans Bpl-
letin:
DlsUSIoN IN TExAs.-The proposed measure Of
Southern convention meets with little favor from
the people of Texas. The GalUest0n Journal Of the
10Th instant says there Is some mystery as to the
origin Of the Southern convention, and though
tanned by some of the legislative assemblages of the
different States, wherever there has been an express
sion of opinion upon the subject, by the people, far
as II has been able to gather it. ii has been in oppo
sition to the measure.
The editor adds that in Texas it would be an act
of supererogation on the part of Gen. Houston 'to
take the stump" against that which seems to have
fallen dead from the hands which created it.

Nashville Convention.

Why don't the disunion organs call meeting
in Nashville, and declare the objects of the conven
ton, and tell the people Of Tennessee and the
world how far they will go and where they will
sop-what acts they will resist at all hazards and
to the last extremity, and for which they will dis
solve the Union if carried into effects Why don't
they call meeting and tell the people whether
they intend to dissolve the Union on account of the
Wilmot proviso in the Oregon bill, which is now
the law of the land, and for which bills or similar
ones, the honorables A. v. Brown, Gaze johnson,
r. p. Stanton, Andre,o Johnson, julius w. Black
soeA, AIpin Cuilunl, George w. Jones, and Barclay
Martin-aH members Of Congress from Tennessee
voted, and that, under the solemnity of an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States-or,
to use the strong expression Of of them, they
:" s,oors' that the Oregon bill, with the Wilmot
proyiso in it, constitutional and tested the sim
certy OF their oath by the act of voting for it We
say, why don't they tell the people Of the State what
the leaders about Nashville for? Are they afraid?
Do they want to make 'cats-p paw" out of the
people in other countiess We forewarn the people
of Tennessee especially those who have any regard
for their reputation and prospects. to wash their
hands OF this reasonable movement; don't suffer
yourselves to be driven into false position by cow
ardly leaders here at Nashville If you go into
that convention, we predict, you never can shake
off the odium which will be brought upon you by
the "Hotspurs'' of South Carolina, Virginia, Geor-
gia, Mississippi, SC. If you dissent from what is
done, it will never relieve you from the execratons
that are to be heaped upon the action of that con-
vention through all future time. You will be point
ed out as member of that convention, and stigma
tized as a member of disunion party, no matter
whether you approve disapprove of the action Of
that convention Remember the Hartford conven.
toni You can't control the action of rash men--a
majority of that convention were rash mem look
at list of their names and if this is fact
II you go into the convention and then dissent from
their action, the Abolitionsts will ridicule you as
backing out, while all the lovers of the Union will
sxecrate you a member Of that convention.
