LOUISIANA.

The Legislature of this State terminated its An
nual Session on Thursday, the 2lst ultmo, having
refused to give any sanction to the proposed Nash
vile Convention.
The Legislature adjourned without taking any
any action on the subject of the Nashville Con-
vention (says the Picayune) or the Southern Cri-
SIS" A series Of resolutions got through the Sen
ate by compromise among members of different
opinions in which it was recommended to the peo-
pie of the State to send delegates to Nashville. In
the House they were never brought to vote. At
ter two or three days debate, in which they met
with strong opposition, they were postponed from
week to week. All efforts to get them up again
failed, and they thus. died natural death.

Professor REED, of the University of Penusyl.
vania, gave highly instructive lecture on Monday
evening before the Institution, which was listened
TO with profound attention by large and intel-
gent audience. The subject was the growth of the
American Union during the colonial period, ex-
hibting the philosophical principles which prompt
ed and shaped the Government Of the United States.
The lecturer traced in the events Of early American
history gradual tendency to the future result of
Union arguing from the concurrence of events Pro-
vdentia purpose. The period of discovery was con-
sidered with view to show, by the direction given
to Portuguese, Spanish, and English voyagers re-
specvely, that the country was destined to be occu
pied by the race that speaks the English tongue
phrase which Professor REED preferred 70 that
of " Anglo-Saxon," the inadequacy of which was
explained. The origin of the principle of union
was traced to the Saxon element of local govern
ment as distinguished from absolute centralization
and the characteristic difference between the Eng
lsh and French races in this respect was noticed
The unsuccessful attempts at colonization in the
sixteenth century reviewed to show that it was
period unfavorable to the partition of the country
into several colonial settlements; and the perma-
nent colonization Of the seventeenth century was
shown to have led, by its free and more various
process of occupation, to the formation of the thir
teen distinct political communities.
In connexion with the attempts at colonization in
the sixteenth century, Professor REED mentioned
fact recently discovered by investigations in the
State-paper office of the British Government
Sir Philip Sidney medated voyage TO America
a short time before those which were equipped by
Sir y alter Raleigh.
The subject of the next lectures that of this even
lng' was announced TO be the growth of Union
among the several colonies the first lecture having
SHOWN mat the materials Of Union had been pre-
pairing during a long course OF time.
