MISSISSIPPI AND CALIFoRNIA.-Two meetings
have been held in Jackson-both called without
regard to old party distinctions. AT the first meet
ing a series Of resolutions was passed charging
Presidents Polk and TAYLOR with betraying the
South--that the admission of California would be
fraud on the South.
The subsequent meeting passed series of coun-
ter resolutions, in which they deny that there is
proof of any improper influence having been ex-
erted to create.a State Government in California,
and that the admission Of California as free State
is not such an emergency should lead the people
Of Mississippi to pursue course endangering the
Union.
Both meetings were composed Of gentlemen of
high responsibility, and at each the subject was dis
cussed pro and con.
This is good feature. The people are becom-
ing tired of these one-sided meetings. 1t is only
by fair discussion that public opinion can
be formed. 1t is well known that our columns are
open to those who differ from us, and we shall be
glad to present to our readers the views OF others
as well as our own. We ARE FOR THE UNION AT
ALL EVENTS. Let those who want to take slaves
to New Mexico or Deseret fight out the question.
We have no idea of being driven out OF the Union
on such an abstracton.--NeU Orleans Crescent.

A LETTER FROM THE HoS. R. TOoMBs, REPRE-
SENTATIVE IN CONGRESS FROM GEORGIA.

The following letter of Mr.. TooMBs to Gov
Towns, acknowledging the receipt of the resolu-

but Just censure of the petty scheming demagogues
of the Legislature will meet cordial response in
the breast of every intelligent rejecting patriot in
the land-in short, of every man whose love Of
country is superior to his devotion to party.

The happening of either the FIRST second fourth OF these

1t certainly is singular fact as stated by the
Baltimore Clipper, that many Abolitionists and
Free-Soilers join with the South in favor Of
Nashville Convention; and the Clipper" quotes
the National Era, the leading Free.Soil paper Of
the country, as saying as follows:
ssFor one, shall condemn in advance the South
en Convention. 1t will be time enough denounce it as
treasorous when il shall have committed overt act :
And we have objection that such Convention
should calculate the value of the Union Americans are
