PUBLIC SENTIMENT IN GEORGIA. - Meetings
have been held in county after county in which the
action OF the Nashville Convention is fully confirm
ed and approved. A number of other calls have
been made for county meetings with the same object.
We recoect at this time but three which have
been held on the other sde-at Macon and in Nor
gan, and one other. So far as public meetings
and their proceedings show the sentiment Of the
State, Georgia will approve the course Of the
Nashville Convention by an overwhelming majo-
rity. If the relative strength Of the Missouri line
and Mr.. Clay's plan should be tested by the num-
bers that have declared in favor of the one or the
other we may safely conclude that there are ten
in favor Of the former to one friend of the latter

In every instance which has vet come to our

where the people met the Nashville platform has
been repudiated, and the Clay compromise ap-
proved. In every instance where resolutions have
been adopted, approving the Nashville platform,
except two, the two named, the meeting was called
exclusively of the friends of the measure, and no
others participated in the proceedings.

In an empire comprising so many parallels, so
many meridians as the United States, there must
always be differences enough of some sort for fac
tonists agitators and disunioniss exercise their
fendish talents on to the annoyance and injury of
the well disposed and quiet citizen. The majority
love industry and order, but il is comparatively
easy for national consprators against the harmony
and existence of the republic to produce public
ferment, as for city rowdes to originate mob.
Our reliance in this, and every emergency of the
country, is upon the ,cisdom, prudence, and inte-
gritty of those presiding at the helm. We enter
tain that confidence now. But they need the aid

BILE attempt But if they fail in this, they will in
their old age have reared monument to their
pure glory, which will not cease to inspire the fu-
ture statesmen of America to patriotism and honor,
when brass and marble shall have crumbled into
dust. We want moderate and equitable measures,
to carry firmly out the bargain made By oar fa-
hers in the Constitution. There must be no at
tempt to improve it, least Of all to make it worse.
Such measures, so honest, wise, and unencroach-

NORTH CAROLINA.

From what we can hear (says the Petersburg In
telligencer) we have little doubt that the Demo-
cracy have carried the day in North Carolina, by
electing their candidate for Governor, and perhaps
majority Of the General Assembly.
For this result we were not altogether unprepared,
for we were aware that there were elements at
work in that State which, unless composed, would
be fatal to the Wings in this election. The ex-
tension of The Right of Suffrage for members of the
Senate has, no doubt, divided the Whig party in
certain parts of the State, and thus accomplished
the only end which the Democracy desired to at
tain by mounting that hobby.
Speaking of the mode that the election was con-

FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Cambria, which sailed from Liver
pool on the 9th ultimo, arrived at Halifax yes
terday.
Cotton had declined an eighth Of penny since
the sailing Of the preceding steamer. Flour had
advanced six pence per barrel, and corn and
wheat had also advanced. This improvement in
breadstuffs is attributed to the appearance, in a

The news Of the death of President TAYLOR pro-
duced great sensation in England. The leading
journals devote much space to review of his cha
racter and military achievements. AT a large meet
ing of American citizens, held in London, over
which the American Minister presided, series of
patriotic resolutions were adopted, expressive of
their sense of the great loss their country has
tanned, and of their sympathy with his family.
The political news from England possesses no
feature of striking importance in Parliament.
The Portuguese Government having declined to
accede to the demands of the American Minister,
he has demanded his passports. The American
squadron had sailed from Tangiers. Mr.. CLAY
intended to leave Lisbon on the 10Th ultimo.
Hosttes have actually commenced between
Denmark and the Duchies, the latter having been
declared by the former in state OF blockade.
There was an action on the 2lst between man Of
war and German steamer, in which the former
suffered considerably, and was forced to retire.

conflict would ensue.

Professor FoRsHEY, in an essay on the physics Of

Of observations kept up through great number of
years, that the channel of the Mississippi river is
deepening, and consequently the levee system will
not necessarily elevate the bed of the river, as has

the river within narrow channel will give it addi-

while opening artificial outlets, by diminishing the

Congress has been in session eight months, and
yet it has not passed single bill Of any conse-
quence. The neglect to pass the usual appropria-
ton bills which extended only to the first of July,
is perhaps the most shameful evidence of its dis
regard Of public duty. Many persons having
claims upon the Government are now waiting from
day to day to have them satisfied, with scarcely
any nearer prospect Of its being done than there
was seven or eight months ago. This is particu-
larly the case with the wives of seamen in service
abroad, whose halfpay constitutes, with their own
tod, all the dependence Of themselves and families.
The scenes a. the office of the Navy Agent are
