But how does the President provide a
remedy for the neglect or delay Of Congressi
He has helped to make State Constitution
for these persons. We presume it will have
to be submitted to Congress: and Congress
may continue to neglect or delay and may
reject it. We suppose the President will
hardly proceed in consequence of this neg
lect, to admit New Mexico himself.
But in the mean time he will assume that
New Mexico-that part of it claimed by
Texas--is in the possession Of the United
States. He will defend by force its inhabi-
tants against any attempt at jurisdiction by
Texas. A collision ensues. If the claim
of Texas is good, the United States officers
and troops will be liable, if captured, to the
penalties prescribed by Texian law for re-
sisting her officers. The order of the Pres
ldent to his subordinates cannot be plead be-
cause he had no right to give such an order.
We are told that some Of General Taylor's
friends are urging him TO emulate the exam
pie of General Jackson Well there was
disputed boundary question between the
State of Ohio and the territory OF Michigan,
when Jackson was President. The dispute
ran high. The Governors of both, marched
out their troops. General Jackson instead
of doing as the Presidents now doing-n-
stead of holding the possession of the dspu-
ted country for the United States-ordere ed
the United States officer, the Governor of
the territory, Mr.. Mason to retire, and re-
guested the Governor of Ohio to desist until
Congress could act-and it was done and
the question settled amicably.

Walker came at once to the conclusion that Mr.
Crawford was to go into the Cabinet, having
known the gentleman as prosecutor of, and
party directly interested in the claim.
Mr.. F. next taking up the question Of the JUS
tice Of the demand against the United States trea-
sury, examined it at length, holding that if in 81
against any parties, it certainly was not so against
the General Government.
If the question of interest had been referred 10
Mr.. MEREDITH for his adjudication, (Which Mr.
F. dened,) it surely had been committed to hin
to be decided under the regulations and custom Of
his Department in the adjudication Of claims on
the Treasury. Now, it was notorious that il
the payment of this claim, neither the one the
other had been adhered to- Mr.. MEREDITH had sc
them at nought, as the gentleman from Mississippi
argued to show at considerable length. To NEE
such cases, he, Mr.. F., should insist on the en-
actment of law prohibiting member Of the
Cabinet, or any high officer of the government
from settling the demands Of other such officers
in the public service.
A glance at the testimony of Joseph Bryan
given before the Galphin case committee, would al
once satisfy any gentleman of the necessity ex
listing for placing such u statute among the laws
of the country. Mr.. B. (said Mr.. F,) while
prosecuting this claim for Mr.. Crawford before
the Treasury Department, was also an attorney
for Capt. Shaumburg, in the prosecution Of de-
mand on the War Department. He testifes that
when urged by S. to push his claim, he (B) had
advised him to wait priently until claim against
the Treasury Department, in which the Secretary
of War was interested, was settled, which would
be in few days; when having his own pockets
full, the Secretary would ten to one, be far more
likely to look favorably on Shau mburg IS demand
Mr.. DISNEY next addressed the House fol-
an hour, urging arguments to maintain the view,
Of his report from the minority of the Select Com
mittee.
Mr.. McKISSOCK having then obtained the
floor, gave way to Mr.. ScHENcK, who notified
the House that he should propose the amendment
at first offered as an amendment to that of Mr..
ToomBs, as a substitute for the resolutions re-
ported from the majority of the select committee
by Mr.. BURT.
Mr.. S. also sent to the Clerks ,esk another
amendment he proposed to move to the amend
ment Of Mr.. TooMBs.
Mr.. THOMPSON, of Mississippi gave notice
Of his intention to offer the following as ar
amendment to Mr.. ScHENcK' s substitute:
Insert aftet the word "approved, "but decd
eddy disapproves and dissents from the opinion
given by the Attorney General in favor Of an
allowance of interest on said claim, and from the
action of the Secretary of the Treasury in paying
the same. And it does not approve of the rela-
ton of the Secretary of War to that claim in
this
Mr.. BURT gave notice, the House approving,
that on tomorrow at two, P. M he should move
to take the vote on the various propositions before
the House with reference to this case.
On motion, the House then adjourned.

such an attempt the Executive seems quite
ready, and the South ought not to be less
ready to repel it.-Charleston Mercury.

The publishers Of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be withdrawn now that
the publication, passing from the hands Of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
were, fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
addition Of many new snes, not less valuable and
distinguished the conduct still of Mr.. w.
GILMORE SIMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year-and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers low beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in style very superior to
that OF the past, on better paper, with a fine new
| type, and with a regard to neatness and finish,
which will leave it second to none in the country
they will continue receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims OF such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
| The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with a ma
tive earnestness force, and fidelity, the real pol
lev and the peculiar institutions of our section
We enreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their counte-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-
lished organ Of domestic opinion-the champion
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home-the arena in which he better minds Of
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the p )per pr vocation to execution and
performance-the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint of crude and undigested speculation. These
are all objects Of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gam by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remlssness and nditer-
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons OF the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such SYM
pathy and support for the futures as are due to the

Kentucky on the Compromise.

We have seen letter from a we'll inform
ed gentleman in Kentucky, denying most
positively that the people of that State are
in favor of the compromise plan before the
Senate He asserts that the late Kentucky
Convention, instead of approving it, refused
to pass the very resolution offered in its ia
vor.
We have already given this statement
before, in an extract from letter of another
gentleman of high authority.
We were amused at the terms in which
Mr.. Clay introduced those resolutions to the
Senate-terms that would make the impress
sion on any casual observer, that they were
favorable to that measure. The editor OF
the Union went further. He said, referring
to those same resolutions, that Kentucky
spoke trumpet-tongued in favor of the COM
promise, when the only thing the resolutions
themselves said, was to approve the motives
of the Committee-a thing so unusual as to
cause the inference, very naturally, that the
measure itself was not approved, and if any
thing were wanting to confirm that inference,
the fact now stated, on good authority, that
the Convention actually rejected the resoIu-
ton in favor Of this compromise is conclu-
sive.
The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1850-07-03

Mr.. Clay stated in the Senate, on Thurs.
day, that during his lite, which is not very
short, he had never known the people O
Kentucky so united, to degree almost
amounting to unanimlty, as they are in favor
of the compromise reported by the Senate
Committee of Thirteen. "-Alerandria Ga
zette.
Mr.. Clay was correct There is not, we
believe, newspaper in Kentucky that op.
poses the compromise, and, if there is an in
dividual in the State who opposes it, we have
not heard of him. We presume of course
there are such individuals, but, if so, they
are so few and so quiet that their very ex-
istence is thing unknown.
The Southern organ at Washington city
expresses the confident belief that full three
fourths of the citizens of the slaveholding
States are opposed to the compromise. We
have only to say that an editor who can be-
lieve this, must be possessed of the very
convenient and comfortable faculty of belev-
ing whatever he peases.-Louispille Jour-
nal
We have seen but few of the Kentucky
newspapers on this plan OF compromise. But
we have seen as it happens better evidence
of public opinion in, Kentucky, than her
newspapers, and that is, that the Constitu-
tional Convention, of both parties, lately re-
jected resolution in favor of this very COM
promise. Now, he who can say, as the Jour
nal does, that he I" has not heard" of an in
dividual in Kentucky opposed to it, must
have ca convenient and comfortable faculty"
of hearing only what pleases him. We re-
ceive, probably, three times the number Of
Southern papers that the Journal does, and
more than three-fourths of them are against
the compromise.

1t was not their duty to investigate closely into
the character Of the claim. What was the duty
of the Committee on Claims, on the Judiciary
Committee who had reported the bill. Mem
hers generally, as every one in the hall knew,
had no time to do so, nor were they ever expected
to look into the particulars of each claim coming
before Congress. To attempt such examna-
ton of even respectable portion of them, would
require every moment Of the members time.
Mr.. CROWELL said that having been mem
Der of the Committee on Claims Of the last Con-
gress, he desired to remind the House that the re-
port in this case came not from that Committee,
but from the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr.. STEPHENS of Georgia, (Mr. FEATHER
ST ON again giving way,) remarked that there ex-
listed no necessity for a speech advocating the
Justice Of the claim, at the time the bill passed lin
1s4s.) Its justice was not then questioned, owing
to the representations Of its friends. A single
objection would have brought out such speech
that had not been started.
Mr.. FEATHERSTON again resuming the
floor, argued that according to the evidence of
the late Secretary of the Treasury before the Sc
lect Committee, it was clearly proved that
Messrs. STEPHENS and TooMBs were well aware
of the improperly of the act of Mr. Crawford in
entering the Cabinet with this demand in which
he was so deeply interested, pending before the
Treasury Department. Mr.. Walker had testi-
fed that the gentlemen called on him to urge that
the Galphin case should be finally settled before
he (Mr. W. resigned his portfolio stating that
there existed reasons making its settlement ere the
new administra ton came into Office matter Of
prime importance, From hia interview Mr.
