greater portion, if not all, of the vast
and rich territories acquired from Mex.

Influenced by a high sense of duty, Governor
Quitman has issued his proclamation conven.
ing the Legislature, This is an act Of great
importanoe--it is n noble assertion of State
sovereignty, and must bring with it conse-
quences which will be long felt for veal or
woe; for, from the position of the Legislature,
it will devolve upon il 10 declare whether the
State of Mississippi will submit or not to in
suits and injuries already suffered, and to the
certain political and moral degradation to
which she and the South will be reduced by
the North.
II is a certain fact, as is stated in the proc.
lamation, that the people OF the Southern States
"Have been virtually excluded from their
just rights, in the greater portion, il not all,
of the vast and rich territories acquired from
Mexico in the late war aud thus, by UNJUST
and insulting Determinations. the adpanta.
ges and benefits of the Federal Union, have
been denied to them"
II Is true that Territorial Governments, with.
out the odious Wilmot proviso, have been pro.
vided for Utah and New Mexico. But owing
TO tae previous non-action Of the government
owing to the oft. repeated declaration that
slavery is excluded from these territories by
the laws Of Mexico, the people of the South
have been prevented from going there with
their slaves, for each would have had to en-
counter a doubtful lawsuit, in relation to such
property. This danger has not been averted
by Congress as ii should have done by an ex.
press declaration so that by this, and by the
likelihood Of the people Of these territories al
any moment following the example of Caliior,
mia forming 4 State government and excluding
slavery, the people of the South are still, and
forever excluded from the enjoyment of thi:
part Of their property in the public domain.

TO California, which comprises the balance Of
the territory in which the South possessed an
undivided share

ny The last Wilkinson Wing says.

"There is not a statesman or n constitu-
tional lawyer of any consideration, North or
South, that preteuds that the constitution
has been violated or its provisions the least
strained in the admission of California"
1t would appear from this, that the Edi-
tor of the Wing considers no man a states
man or a constitutional lawyer of any con.
sideration" who does not believe just as he
does on this subject. 1t appears to us that
we could point to a good many who have

The proclamation Of the Governor OF

this very brief and pregnant proclamation
Let the people of Wilkinson and Of Miss

be placed upon their State, end upon a gen.

Governor Quitman is wrong in his views
in calling the legislature together, yet
what is the character of this declaration
of the Wilkinson Wing? A man who for

Hon. JEFF. DAyIs.-The fearful struggle
which has been going on in Congress for
nearly twelve months, has terminated in the
defeato the South, and we can now review
the battle field, but not look with composure
upon the ruins scattered there. We have
watched with anxiety and admiration the
patriot band, who placed themselves upon
the broad platform of the constitution, and
with infinite tack and courage, held at bay
the formidable host arrayed against them.
For ten long months they bore up against
overwhelming numbers. But worn out by
fatigue and deserted by their allies, they
were at last driven from the field with the
loss of thirty-three of their number. Among
the Spartan band, that stood where balls
fell thickest and fastest was seen the glori.

all'-ever vigilant and at his post, and deal.

deadly effect. Brave in arms, and able and

MISSISSIPPI.

We have authentic information that the
able, patriot and gallant Governor of Miss
issippi will, or has by this time, issued his
proclamation calling an extra session OF the
Legislature of that State, on the 20th of
October next, as he considers that the re-
cent acts of Congress are incompatible with
her honor and safety.
We published yesterday Il call On the
Governor of Alabama, to do the same thing {:
and have scarcely a doubt that State will
act with the other cotton states, promptly.
The Governor of South Carolina would
have adopted the same course before now,
but that the regular election of members &C.
ours the first Monday in October next, and
the Legislature meets in November-so that
they can cooperate in the measures of the
Georgia Convention.
The people of Texas will thus see, that
they can act Oh the proposition of Congress
to buy their territorial and sovereign rights,
without regarding the menaces Of Federal
coercion.
As no instance has ever occurredin our
history, of such a wholesale outrage OF the
rights, the honor and the interests of any
portion Of the Union-so there is none
where the attempt has been so promptly met,
and with such ample powers of resistance.
The state of our public affairs is without
a parellel-and demands all the wisdom,
honesty, and natriotism of the land. The
schemes Of party, the arrogance Of power,
the lust ofssectionaI ACKNOWLEDGEMENT must
now give way.-There must be a prompt
return to the Constitutional rights of the
states, there must be remuneration of the
scheme ofsouthem spoliation, there must be
safety for the future-or the Union is gone,
Having predicted not long ago that the
cotton states would this move,
ment, and this being now obvious, it may
be as well to suggest again that the time
will soon be at hand when Virginia will dc
her duty. And let nobody imagine that this
will be done in a ~faltering or halfway man.
ner. The occasion demands energy and de-
cision. When Virginia takes her stand fol
southern rights, the question will be settled,
And Virginia, wethink, will make that stand
when her Legislature next assemblies.
But whatever may be the action of Vir'
GINA or other states, the cotton states have
the power and the will to maintain theiI
own rights. The idea that they can be coer,
ced into submission is an absurdity- the at.
tempt would be an enormity.

whose intelligence is not become insanity

This is considered by those who have seen
the plan, as qUite an improvement. The
screw is horizontal, and is moved by a cog
wheel worked by the large wheel, which
turns the gin. The whole is level with the
gin house floor, which affords the greatest IA
cility for filling. In addition to this may be
enumerated the advantages, that it requires
some thirteen feet less in the length of the gin
house--both important items of economy. In.
deed, we have never seen a press in which
despatch, aud safety, and economy appear to
have been so well consulted. The same pow
or which moves the gin moves the press, and
as the press may be geared and ungeared
