Mr.. UNDERWOOD presented petition from certain
citizens of Kentucky which, being short, he said he would
read to the Senate. He read it as follows:

The Great Question in the Senate.

We have no doubt that every Southern anc
every Union-loving reader of our paper was deep
y gratified at seeing, under the Telegraphic heat
of yesterday, the important announcement, tina
the Senate, on Thursday, came to final vote or
the motion for the appointment of Compromise
Committee of Thirteen, and adopted that motion
by a decisive vote-[which, we learn by the
Washington papers of yesterday, was, yeas 30,
nays 22-not 81 to % as first reported.
This division was understood, on ali sides, to be
test of the sense of the Senate as to the proprety
of uniting in one bill the admission of California
and the organization of Governments in the Ter
ritores, a0thom any reference to Slavery For this
most salutary step towards the consummation of
an honorable adjustment of the sectional difficulty,
the country is largely, and, we may add, chiefly,
indebted, to the patriotism, the Abilities and the
wonderful parliamentary address OF the great
statesman Of Kentucky. Nor should we forget
to do scarcely inferior honour to the truehearted,
though impulsive, Senator from Mississippi, who
originated this proposition for a committee. and
has pressed it from an early period of the session.
with an earnestness and sagacity that cannot be
too much extoled. Those Northern statesmen
too, who have exhibited the moral firmness to re.
sst mere sectional influences, and to take ground
boldly and openly for the preservation of the ma
tional harmony and peace, deserve and will receive
the heartfelt thanks of their countrymen.
An analysis of the two important votes on
Wednesday, which led the way to the suspicious
result of Thursday, cannot but be interesting to
our readers.
On the motion made by Mr. Benton to Law the
whole subject on the table, it will be recolected,
the vote was, yeas "a, nays %. The Northern
Senators who voted nay were Messrs. Bright
Cass, Dickinson, Sturgeon and Whit comb; whilst
Mr.. Benton was the only Southern Senator who
voted yea. Those who did not vote were seven
too from the North, viz Messrs. Coop&r of Pa
and Upham OF Vermont; and five from the South.
viz Messrs. Wales of Del, Berrien of Ga. Pratt
of Md, Gilmore of S. c., and Houston of Texas.
1t is observable that Mr. Spruance of Delaware
voted in the negative, although both the Senators
from that State had previously given votes against
the Compromise plan. Mr.. Webster and Mr..
Douglas, who have declared themselves for the
organization of Territorial governments without
the Wimot Proviso, voted in the affirmative, being
in favour of the admission of California by se.
parate bill.
The second important vote Of Wednesday was

THE ADJOURNED MEETING

We hope there will be full attendance of CT
tlzens at the African Church, tonight, to decide
the question whether the city shall take part in the
Nashville Convention. The subject is one O
much more than ordinary importance, and is like
ly to give rise to an interesting discussion. The
committee (who are all, we believe, of one way o.
thnking) will no doubt bring in report in favour
of the appointment of delegates and some of the
members, we presume, will be preparedto advocate
that course, Other gentlemen, we have reason
to believe, will be in readiness to offer PROPOSE
tons of an opposite description, and to sustain
their views with becoming earnestness.
Since the last meeting, fortnight since, we
have paid strict attention to our Southern ex-
changes, in order to lay before our readers as full
an accountas was possible of the progress of the
Southern Convention movement The informa-
ton which has reached us, we have republished
from day to day. 1t may all be summed up in a
few words. In Georgia, the election of delegates
by the people has proved perfect failure, so that
even friends Of the Convention declare that it has
been repudiated, and that the delegates will have
no competent authority. In North Carolina, it
seems to be probable that as many as three of the
Congressional districts may be represented In
Tennessee, we read of no popular decision in IA
your of the Convention, except at Memphis. In
some counties of Mississippi, public meetings
have been held to condemn the appointment of de-
legates by a Legislative caucus. In Louisiana, we
have not been able to ascertain that single meet
ing on the subject has been held. In Maryland,
Kentucky and Missouri, we believe no steps what
ever have been taken to secure representation
at Nashville.
In Virginia, the following counties are all that
have as yet appointed delegates to district conven-
tons, SO far as we are informed:
Amelia Appomattox, Greensville, Brunswick,
Mecklenburg, Halifax, Madison, Louisa, Princess
Anne, King William, Northampton, Elizabeth
City, Prince George.
The following have voted against the appoint
ment of delegates: =
Albemare, Augusta, Loudoun, King George,
Franklin, Caroline
Campbell and Chesterfield have adjourned the
question over from the April to the May County
Courts.

WHAT THE CANADIANS THINK OF WIS

From the Montreal Transcript july 22d. Ie49


We think it but due to DR.. Wistar that we should
add our testimony to others as to the extra
ordinary merits Of his medicine in certain cures partcu-
larly where the patient has complained Of pain in the
side, orin cases of an asthmatical character
We are personally acquainted with MANY persons
who have experienced immense relief from the use of
this medicine when labourng under the diseases above
mentioned; and as in the changeabls climate of Cana
da these diseases more than usually common any
medicine calculated TO counteract them must be Of
lue.
We are aware thatit has large and still increas-
ing sale and has been very generally and bene6caly
used since its introduction Canada three years ago
and the very fact of its having stood the test of three
wears experiences proofot its value
We are not in the habit otrecommendng patent med-
cines unless the benefits conferred by them have
under our observations but in the present instance
we recommend WISTARS BALSAM OF WILD
CHERRY, as medicine worthy of the confidence Of
the public n diseases of the Chest and side and in ma
ny cases in this city coughs have yielded to its
influence.

then returned to her own house, in the Valley where
she remained till arrested Thursday night by Cant lin
kins and Mr. Haley.
AS soon as Walkers condition became known to the
neighbours, medical aid was obtained The fracture
was pronounced dangerous one, in consequence of
portion OF the skull being driven into or pressed upon
the brain. Though assiduously attended, the mans
conditlon has been gradually getting worse and little
hopes OF his recovery entertained. 1t was in
deed currently reported in Rockets Thursda evening
that he had died. Coroner WICKER was accordingly
summoned to hold an inquest over his remains but
when that officer reached the house, he found Walker
still alive The Coroner, however, investigated the
causes which led tc the infection of the blow and issued
warrant for the arrest of Elizabeth Southland Captain
Jnkins asssedby Mr. Haley as before stated succeed
ed in arresting the woman Thursday night, after en-
counterng considerable difficulty She refused to ad-
init the officers thereby compelling them to resort to
forcble means. The front door of the house was
forced open, when o another and stronger door op
posed the entrance Of the aston ished officers Whilst
captain Jlnkns was making preparations force this
door Also the woman hoised front window Mr.. Ha-
ley promptly entered through this window, seized the
woman, and then unbolted the door. She was there
upon marched off to the cage and locked up for the
night Yesterday she was brought before the Mayor,
and committed to Jail till Tuesday, for the purpose of
awaiting the issue of Walkers wound
Elizabeth Southland is very bright mulatto woman,
three-fourths white, and apparently about thirty-ve
years OF age She stated yesterday that she had never
procured register because she had been held to be
white woman, though African blood certainly coursed
through her veins.
Coroner WICKER did hold an inquest in Rockets
Thursday evening, but not over the remains of the
wounded man. Whilst at Walkers house, the remains
OF white man (probably sailor belonging to some
vessep were discovered near wharf in the river The
finding OF the jury will be under the inquest in to-
days paper.
