The sHarmOuious.''

TIE Washington correspondent Of the Co.
tumbss (Ga.l Times, a thorough going demo-
cratic paper, edited by John Forsyth, walks
into the 'ChivaIry' after the following fashion,
.The truth is, ever since the commencement
Of the present session, Mr.. Calhoun and his
handful Of crazy peculiar followers, have been
endeavorirg 10 induce nllfrom the South, to
nuke common war on all from the north, with
out distinctiOn--upon those who have behaved
manfulIy IN defence of the rights Of the south,
az well as those who held with Messrs. Gid
dings, CruswelI, Stephens, Preston King & Co.
On the night before the defeat Of FOrheN Mr.
Calhoun himself is said to have urged that he
should be defeated, in order to destroy all sym
pathy in the north for the south-to. show even
the friends Of the south at the north, that the
south desires no support from that quarter.
"The English Of this treatment Of Mr.. For.
ney, lies in the fact that the personal advance
mont Of Mr.. CSlhoun's little clique, rather than
the preservation intact, Of the rights Of the
south, is at the bottom Of much Of their efforts
upon the question Of slavery. They know that
while a national democratic party exists, they
cannot occupy "chief seats in the synagogue"
They would prefer its destruction, if thereby
iis political fortunes may be advanced, TO wit,
Messing lie prosperity, though in that they
know well there exists the only hope Of brings
ing back the pOE uIar sentiment Of the country
to a due respect for the rights Oftheir own sec
lion Of the cOnfederacy."
The Macon Republican, copying the above,
aptly remarks, tive know not what truth there
is IL The above, but at any rate it looks a little
singular. And besides, the peculiar friends OIL
Mr.. Calhoun were among the first to r~epudiatt
the very doctrine that they contended for during
the last presidential canvass. Then, they were
for letting the people Of the territories SETTLE
the question Of slavery for hemselves-nOv
they are opposing the admission Of CallfOrnit
into the Union as State, because they have set
lied it. We say all these things Look a it'll
singular; they look as though disuniOn was
foregOne conclusion in the mind Of somebody
but we will not do Mr.. Calhoun the i%njustic
TO suppose that he is working to bring abOU
such a catastrophe.

CAUGHT,

We think the National Intslligencer has the
Union fairly on the hip In the iUllowin! ex'
tract. The venerable editor is caught: the las
90 is over his head, and he 10 bound in consis>
tency to fall into column and to jog along at
the tail Of Old Whitley. Behold the manner
in which the most adroit Of politicians has
been hoOsed.
The Intelligencer says!
"While we are thus in communication with
the s Unions we take occasion to call the at
tention Of the editor Of that paper to the opin-
ion expressed by him exactly ayear ago, in re-
gard TO the policy Of admitting California into
the Union as state, without any reference or
~allusiOn to the insertion or exclusion Of the
Wilmot proyiso. Being Of that opinion a
year ago, perhaps he will frankly explain to
the public why, on the President's taking the
same ground in his late Message, the Union ,
newspaper made such furious onslaught up
on Il. Waiting this explanation, We place upon
record in our columns, the frllo wing ex-
tract from that paper Of February 4, l849,
which the reader will perceive furnishes a de
ciSive reply to the columns Of abuse from the
same sou co upon the appearance, recently, Of
the California Message:
"Tho SOath denies tina; Congress has any iu-
Tisdiction over the subject Of slavery, and con-
tends the People Of the Territories alone,
when they frame a Constitution, preparatory to
admission into the Unlon,ha fright to speak
and bo heard on that matter. This fact being
settled, il really seems to US tina. this excit,
ing question might be speedily adjusted,
if calm %cOunsels prevail. The South con-
tends for her honor and for the great princi-
pies Of non-intsrvention and State equality
Why, then, cannot al! unite and permit Cal
ifornia to some into the Union as soon
a. she can frame constitution? Then, ac-
cordlne to the doctrines which prevail on both
sides Of Mason and Dickson's line, she maj
constitutionslly establish her domestic insti-
buttons on any basis consistent with republican
principles. The South could lose nothing b,
a%lopling this course. On the contrary sh
would save oil for which she con'ends.'"

WAsHINGToN, Feb. IL.
sENATE.-Mr. Clay presented a petition from
a single individual, askiag that the first Sen
aIOr who proposed a dissolution Of The Union
should be expelled; laid on the table.
After the usual routine Q business the Sen
ate resumed the consideration Of the special
order-Mr. Ciay's compromise solutions.
Mr.. Downs having the aoOr, proceeded to
address the senate AZ length. He spoke against
the resolutions and the admission Of California
with her present constitution. He would not
object to the admission had the constitution
been adopted l~egi.imatoly by the people OF
OF that State, but he believed it had been az
doptsd BY the intermodling Of the Executive
Of the United States.

have right to take out Of the public crib what

case of Collins. The defacation alleged against
Collins was account of fees and uncollected
