CONGRESS.
In the Senate, on the 11th, the peti-
ton praying for dissolution of the Union
was rejected Hale and Chase
were the only Senators who voted forts
reception. Mr.. Berricn addressed the
Senate upon Mr.. Clay's resolutions. He
referred TO the rude assaults upon an in
stitution of the South, which was inter-
woven with her hopes and feelings, and
she was now determined no longer to
submit to assaults. He had once hazard
ed popularity by voting fora compromise
which, by the lack of frmness on the
part of a few Southern men was lost.
He was willing again to support any
plan Accommodation that would give
equal rights to the South. He would
despond but for one reflection, to wit:
That these selfsame difficulties existed
when the constitution was made, and
were overcome by patriotism and frater-
nal feelings. He reviewed Mr.. Clay's
plan, and showed that the South had a
right to take with them into ,.he newly
acquired territory their domestic institu-
tions.
AR. Berrien yielded the floor without
concluding.
And the Senate, after spending short
time In executive session, adjourned.
In the House, nothing was done save
discussion upon the Senate resolution
to limit the expense of collecting the rev.
enuc. 1fter various amendments had
been discussed, the House adjourned
without any final action Carolin;an.

THE SOUTHERN CoNyENTIoN.

Wedesire to call the attention of the Pendle-
ton Delegation to their duty in reference to
sundry resolutions adopted by our Legislature
on the subject of a Southern Convention. The
time is drawing near when our people should
be called together to approve or disapp1ove of
those resolutions and to say what course they
will pursue on this great national question.
We entertain no doubt but that they will
confirm the recommendations of the Legislature
and execute them to the fullest extent--and
that sale day in April will be early enough, TO
meet; but as this election District embraces
Two judicial Districts, il is necessary to have a
distinct understanding as to the time and place
of meeting. and inasmuch as the VITO Districts
cannot meet IN one place, to know how MANY
delegates each one is entitled to. Four of the
representatives and the Senator live in Ander-
son and only three in Pickans District. and
Pendleton election District will be entitled 10
delegates in the meeting for the Conercssion.
al District
Shall Anderson appoint five delegates, being
one Tor each representative living in her Judi
cial District. and Pickens appoint only 3, being
the number living in her judicial limits, or
would 1t not be more fair and equal that each
District shall select delegates, to meet other
delegates of the Congressional District at such
place as may be hereafter designatedl
Wemay also suggest that on the first Mon
day in April the Court of Common Pleas will
be in session at this place, but as the Judges
are generally quite accommodating, we appre.
hend no hindrance from that quarter
These suggestions are thrown out merely for
the purpose of securing unanimity and not at
all in spirit of dictation, and we, therefore
wait patiently to hear from others, who, with
ourselves are equally interested in this matter.

therefore, you will please suffer Farmer

ORgGoN-Mr. Thurslnn, the delegate

showing the extraordinary inducemenl

removal of the tribes. A bill was also
passed giving TO all men, over eighteen
years of a =. arriving and settling in
Oregon previous 10 December, 1850, 800
acres ufland, ifsingIe, aud if married $40
acres. The bill then provides thatif those
