TLOKIDA, JUNE IA.
GENTLEMEN: cannot refrain from expressing
my gratitude as an American citizen for the noble
and able stand you have taken on the subject Of
the existing and distracting difficulties in which
we are involved, and which, but for you. might
have been much more serious and disastrous. Al
though active and interested politicians can and do
produce excitement, and get up meetings, pass re-
solutions, &C., do not believe if the vote could
have been fairly polled that single county in this
State would have sanctioned any ultra measures,
and, least Of ALL that suicidal policy, so far as the
South is concerned, the Nashville Convention.

NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.
IMPORTANT FROM NEW MEXICO.

A Telegraph despatch from St. Louis commu.
nicates the following intelligence from Santa Fe
the date from that place being the 25th May
"A Convention Of Delegates has been called and
'held, which formed and promulgated Consti-
tuition for the government of the Ss<s of New
Mexico. The Convention assembled at Santa Re
'on the 18th May, and the session lasted eight or
nine days, in which time the Constitution was
formed, which will 90 into operation about
July. The boundaries of the State are defined
and slavery prohibited. In fifteen days from the
time the Constitution was adopted an election is
to take place for members of the Legislature.
Two Senators and Representative in Congress
will soon be elected, and efforts made to take
their seats. Mr.. ST. VRAIN, Judge OTERo, and
HENRY Connolly are among the most prominent
candidates for Governor, and Capt. A. w. REY-
NoLDs and Major r. H. WEIGHTMAN for Senators.
II is supposed that HUGH n. SMITH, the present
Delegate in Congress, will be elected to the House
of Representatives"
Another despatch says that the boundaries OF
the proposed State are left open for future adJast
ment, which is not improbable.
Late Texas papers furnish the subjoined copy OF
the Proclamation of Col. MUNRoE, under which the
aforementioned Convention assembled !:

But some Of our contemporaries doubt the wis
dom Of such Convention altogether. Upon examination,
however, have ascertaned that this objection has nvaa
bly, proceeded from Of two classes The first consists OF
those who from honest but overwecnng devotion to the
Union ready to sacrifice, for its preservation, every thing
but the very existence Of the South This class opposes the
Convention because they not recognise the present crisis

they will argue dsrust Of Gen. Tayor will insinuate
of faith in his ability his disposition take care Of
bold and unequivoca stand the side Of the South may
