j. 7. WEBB. for Anderson District
Dark clouds continue to lower a
round the Political horizon, and the
future seems wrapt in doubt and diff
ficulty, while the death of General
Taylor has added to the confusion of
parties. Great difference Of opinion
exists as TO the effect which his de-
cease will have upon the slavery
question, and the policy ofhis success.
sor is the subject ofmuch speculation
While we would shrink from any
feeling ofjoy for the death of the hum
blest of human creatures, no matter
what good might accrue to us there
by, yet when one has been providen-
TALLY taken away, we think that it
showsno want ofrespect for the dead
or of sympathy for his surviving
friends to calculate the bearings of
his death upon the fate and fortunes
of the living, and, therefore, when we
say that the South has gained by the
death of the late President, we would
not be understood as wanting in re-
spect for him or in sympathy for his
bereaved and suffering family.
From a singular combination of
circumstances, from the peculiar stu
alton of the politics and parties of the
country, we are led to believe that
the loss which hispersonal and politi-
cal friends have sustained in his death
will become good, especially to the
South.
No policy which his successor may
adopt can be more destructive to the
interests of the South than that which
he has pursued; BY its suggestions
and under its sanctions we have seen
a handful of Americans in California,
aided by hosts offoreign adventurers,
approprlating to themselves tract
OF one hundred and fifty-eight thou
sand square miles, including the finest
harbors on the Pacific, as well as all
the best portion Of the territories, and
by their forced and fraudulent enact
ments excluding the South from all
participation in its mine al and agri-
cultural wealth. Encouraged by the
same patronage, we have seen New
Mexico, under circumstances greatly
aglavating the insult to the South,
attempting to rob a sovereign State
OF part of her territory for no other
purpose than that OF extending the
arena of abolition iniquities, and a
half civilized population, not better
prepared for self government than
the Black-footindians endeavoring tc
force themselves into participation
of the prcrogatlves and powers ofthe
States of this Union.
The policy pursued by the late
Administration would have proven

Sir Robert Peel was killed on the

ed
The "ADJUsTMENT BILL" has at
length been reported TO the Senate,
by the Committee Of the Whole, and
in few days test vote will be ta-
ken, and its fate known to the coun-
try. Whether it will pass the Sen
ate is still question of much difficult,
ty, but should its friends be able to
put it through that body, it will, judg-
ing from present indications, be reiec-
ted by the House.
The advocates of the measure are
encouraged by many to hope for the
support of Mr.. Fillmore, while 9th
ers (and those too who appear to be
in his confdence,) say that he will
push the "non-interference policy"
a little farther than it was carried by
his ''illustrious predecessors" and
leave the adjustment entirely to Con
gress.
The new Cabinet appears to be
formed ofmen, who, in the strictest
sense of the word, have been up to
this time, non-committalists, and no
human being, if we are correctly in
formed, (eXccpt pcrchance their
wives may be in the secret has yet
been able to discover what are their
opinions in regard to the great ques-
tons of the day. These men may
have formed opinions upon the ques-
tons which agitate the country; we
do not say they have not, and those
opinions may have been uttered and
published; ifso, however, no one
thought it worth while to record them,
and possibly this is the reason why
we are SO in the dark as to the poll
cy likely to be pursued by the new
Administration.
Apropos of the new Cabinet
When we first announced the names
of the gentlemen who composed it,
VIC felt ashamed of ourself for not
being able to call up more than a
very vague and indistinct recollec-
ton OF any of them except Mr.. Win
throp, attributing, as we did, our ina
bllity toname any oftheirgreat deeds,
or to fix upon their peculiar merits,
to our gene al ignorance, and not to
any barfenness Of great actions in
the lives of the men themselves; but
since we have been somewhat en-
couraged to find that the ignorance
Tor which we were blushing, was
shared in common with all our con-
temporaries, and that, if these men
have been shining lights, they belong
to that peculiar class of lights which
shine under bushel.
The country should feel very CRATE
full to Mr.. Fillmore for Introducing it
to these seven gentlemen, for had
he not had ahat kindness, it may be
assured it never would have enjoyed
the honor of knowing them.

as destructive to rights and interests
of the South as the adoption of the
Wilmot Proviso itself could have
done. 1t was, in fact, silent, un-
seen, but certain proviso, operating
to the total exclusion of the slave
States from all participation in the
territories.
Being southern man and coming
from the midst of the southern people,
Gen. Taylor was understood at the
North to know and to represent
southern feeling, while at the south
there was respectable party who
would not or could not believe that
he would adopt any measures which
could mjure them; thus while his
course produced division and distrac-
ton among us, it induced the North
to believe that we were prepared to
submit to any injustice, and encour-
aged her to push her aggrcssions to
the utmost bounds. But Fillmore we
know to have breathed the fetid at
mosphere of abolition from his cradle
and come to the government reak-
ing from the hot beds of fanaticism,
him we can resist, and should he a.
dopt he policy of his predecessor, or
pursue any course for our destruction,
against him and his measures the
whole South can and will be combin-
ed.

The TExAN BUsINEss.-Mr. How
ard, on Thursday last, stated, in some
remarks before the House, that a few
days ago he received dispatches
from the Governor of Texas, apply
ing to the Federal Government to
know whether it be its purpose to
ratify the late proceedings of Colonel
Monroe, calling a convention at San
ia Fe. to form constitution and
State government; and to know
whether it will enforce the act by it's
military power. And to enter q
solemn protest on the files of the Ex-
ecutlve Department, if such be the
object. He learned, from the same
source, that Texas has taken active
measures to protect herself from the
purposes of the Federal Government
and, by miitarp power, to resist ag.
gresslon on her rights, which she is
bound by honor to maintain.
In reply to Mr.. Burt, he said he
had not received an answer vet from
the General Government, but that
one must come in some form. The
demand was made in such manner
that a reply could not be withheld
