From the Winchester Republican.

After all that has been said in Congress and
throughout the country, the public mind is likely
to settle down, the slavery question: to the exact
position originally taken by General Taylor. He
is for letting matters take their natural course.
The people of California, uninfluenced by any
body, and acting under their inherent right Of self
government, have formed State constitution and
asked admission into the Union. They have
thought proper to exclude slavery; because, we
suppose they believed they could do better without
it. II a change of opinion should be wrought on
that subject by experience, they have the undoubt-
ed right to act accordingly, and admit slavery.
This it is not likely they will do.
The plan of the Administration is further if we
understand it, to let Congress form territorial gov
ernments for the other portions Of the acquired
territory-omitting all action on the subject of
slavery, and permitting the people to decide for
themselves when they undertake to form State
governments. Let them tolerate or reject slave
ry they please hereafter. Congress ought not
TO interfere with it, Non Intervention is the true
doctrine, and this is the amount of the views of
Messrs. Clay, Cass, Bell, and Webster II is
the common sense and honest view of all who are
truly friendly to the Union. No Wilmot proviso
can therefore pass Congress-but if it should, Gen.
Taylor is the man to do exactly what is right under
the circumstances. The northern men profess to
believe that slavery is already prohibited by the
isting Mexican law in New Mexico, and that the
country is uncongenial to its existence Their at
tempt, therefore, to put Wilmot proviso upon
any territorial bill, can be viewed in other light
than wanton piece of mischief calculated to
disturb the peace Of the country, and such an act
as would loudly call for the use of the Executive
veto.
President Taylor is devoted TO the Union; he is
sworn TO support the Constitution, which is the
safeguard of the Unions and, as he docs not mean
TO violate his OATH he will unquestionably put his
negative upon any act which has adisorganizing or
injurious tendency.
The country has already given indications that
il will stand by him. He is a who never fall
ters in his purpose when he thinks he s right, and
that is the true secret Of his In word. he
"never surrenders" when his judgment tells him
he is right. He is for the Union cat all hazards
and to the last extremity"

Cas- county, Georgia.

The Enquirer, of Richmond, and the
Union, of this city, are trying to create a
belief that meeting lately held, ,irrespec-
tive of party, in Cassville, Georgia, was
not true expression of the will Of the
people of Cass county; and for this pur-
pose cite the resolutions of party meet
ing held in little village scarce of houses
and inhabitants called Adairsville, in re-
mote corner of the same county. Cass-
vile, be it understood, is the county seat,
exactly central, and town of considera-
bic population; and the meeting held in il
was county meeting, convened in pursu-
ance of public call. If the president
and secretary had absented themselves
from the Adairsville meeting, (supposing
that the functions of the two Offices were
not united in the same person, y we wonder
how many individuals would have been
left

From The Washington (N. CO. North State Wig.
Beaufort County against the Nashville Con-
xention and Tor the Union.

Never have we been moro pleased than arc 10
record the results Of southern rights meeting held
in this town on Monday night The meeting came
together In consequence OF a call, through hand
BILL of the advocates Of the Nashville convention.
The meeting was very large and respectable. The
committee appointed 10 prepare resolutions were
divided in opinion, and reported two series Of
lutons-ope that OF the majority Of the committee,
taking ultra ground in favor Of the Nashville con-
vention the other, that Of the minority of the
mittec, while II took high and strong ground in
favor Of the ghts Of the South, yet going against
the Nashville convention and for the Union. Able
speeches were made by DR.. Norcom, chairman Of
the meeting) by George f. II. singelcary and w
b. Rodman, in favor Of the Nashville convention,
and by y. d. satterthwaite, h. J. Warren, and Hon.
$. D0nnell ogainstit. William Clark spoke twice in
favor Of district convention 20 consider the pro-
prety Of sending delegates 10 Nashville. He was
neither for against the Nashville convention
that question he for leaving TO a district con-
venton 10 decide, and offered substitute for both
sets Of resolutions. After a very able discussion
which lasted about four hours, tho voting COM
menced. Mr.. Clark's substitute voted down
without a count The house then divided, those in
favor Of the resolutions reported by the majority
taking side, thosc in favor Of the resolutions
ported by the minority taking the other side, when
the latter were in so decided a majority that the
others cayed in quite gracefully, and the meeting
adjourned
Thus has glorious old Beaufort spoken out in "a
vor Of the Union. Disunion has no abiding place
within her borders; and we assured by gentle
men from NariOus parb OF tne county, that had the
meeting been more generally known Of, there
would have been such rush 10 IL Of the friends Of
the Union has never been witnessed here.
We were particularly pleased to see 20 large and
respectable number Of Democrats voting for the
Union resolutions. In the position occupied, II
was difficult 10 say whether there we're more
Wings than Democrats. This is question above
and out Of the reach Of party. We are united 10
man in favor Of maintaining the rights Of the
South, and are nearly unanimously united 10
stand by and abide with the Union.

WATCH IT.-The announcement that a
golden chain-worth four hundred dollars--em-
blematical of the golden chain of the Union, was
presented to the Hon. DANIEL WEBSTER, as token
Of gratitude for his distinguished public services,
especially on recent occasion, has suggested to
certain other admirers of his eloquence and patriot
ism the idea of attaching watch 10 it. Accord
ingly, the most superb gold watch which can be
found in New York is TO be, if il has not already
been procured, and presented to the Defender Of
the Constitution, in connexion with the chain. AT
ter few days, both the chain and watch will be
left, for short time, at Messrs Ball, Tompkins,
& Blacks, corner Of Broadway and Murray street,
for the inspection Of the curious.

ANTICIPATED DUEL.-From an endorsement on
the way-bill from Montgomery, received at the
post Office yesterday, we learn, with deep regret
that Robert H. Smith, esq, of Sumter, and Colonel
Seibels, editor of the Montgomery advertiser and
Gazette, with their mutual friends, left Mont
gomery for Georgia on Thursday, with the view to
hostile meeting Mr. Smith was a member of
the last Legislature from Sumter county and the
difficulty grew out Of some severe structures made
by him in the House upon editorial in the Aduer
tiser and notice of those structures by the editor
after Mr.. Smiths departure from the seat of gov
eminent. The parties are both men Of high char
acter, and devoutly hope the difficulty will BIO
adjusted without resort to the weapons of death.

As A should be.

The Disunionists at the North are de-
nouncing Mr.. WEBSTER for his recent
speech and in Boston they have called
a meeting for the purpose, to be held in
Faneuil Hall this evening. The call is
signed by the following persons, most Of
whom will be recognised as persons who
recently petitioned the legislature of Mas
sachusetts to take steps for a dissolution
of the Union, and as having been open
and avowed Disunionists for years. HEN
RY WILSON may be remembered by some
as a person who made himself so ridcu.
lous at the Philadelphia convention. The
censure of such men is the highest praise

We rejoice to see the vast number Of emigrants
now flocking into our rich and beautiful country
At no time for the last four years has the increase of
our population been SO rapid and valuable as at
present. Every steamer is literally crowded with
emigrants, principally from the southern States,
nearly all of whom bring with them from one to
sixty negroes. AS the real worth and advantages
of Texas become known abroad, will this emigra-
tion continue to flock to State. Our country is
large, our lands good and cheap, and our eli
mate is delightful. Our soil will produce sugar,
cotton, corn, small grain, and every description of
vegetables. What more can be Standardization

TRIAL OF DR. WEBsTER.-The court is still oc-

public at the first disclosure of this tragical
renee. The statements set forth in the narrative
of DR.. Parkman's disappearance, and the dscov-
lished at the time, correspond very accurately
with the dispositions Of the witnesses who have now
delivered their testimony. The fulness and accu-
racy of the information contained in our narrative
at that time are very striking. The demeanor of
the prisoner continues to be of the same general
character, and the specuatons of the public as to
the probable result of the trial do not appear to have
undergone any change from the commencement of
