No GRUMBLER.

We thank the star under which we were
horn. that we are no grumbler. When il
rains; we know we cannot help it, and 1t
we could we have serious doubts wheth-
er il would be proper 10 do so. When Uncle
Sans mail carrier fails to bring us eastern
papers, as they have repeatedly done o.
late, we bare the misfortune like a phllos-
opher and look TO some other quarter for
news. When our subscribers write to US
that the Union does not reach them reg
ulsrly, we are sure it is not our fault, and
exceedingly happy that tits not. v hen
our pockets are empty, we have the clorl-
Gus consolation. that we are not alone
When they are full, such immediate relief
is given that we have no time TO grunlble.
When we are up to our eyes in newspa-
pers, we are perfectly al home. and never
think of grumbling. When our friends
10 see US, we;are TOO well pleased to
grumble. When they are gone we are so
well satisfied they will come back again,
that TO grumble is the last of our thoughts.
When we behold the interminable length
of Mr.. Be,rs speech VIC are consoled With
lde reflection that we are bound neither to
read nor 10 publish it. When we examine
Mr.. Flmore's message we rejoice that the
principles Of the man were so early devel-
oped: When we hear that Mr.. Mckennon
has resigned the Office of secretary Of the
Interior, our heart palpitates with joy; that
not a cog il the wheels of government has
been shaken. When we hear that all the
Galphius have been pitched out of the Ex-
ecutive department we are ready TO cry out
90! that their heads were fountains, and
their ewes run rivers Of tears that their po-
itical iuiquities might be washed away.
Depend upon it, thlt we are in no mood
to grumble. In fine when we hear from
the east and fromthe west from the north
and from the south Of US, how oar gener-
Gus and whole souled patrons are delighred
with the Nashville Union, hen you may
set il down as 'fx'd fact and swear to
it. that we don't begin to grumble!

The attention Of our readers is directed to
the letter Of Mr. Berriep to some Of TIT citizens
ofhis own State. 1t is short, pc nted and in
strnctive, The common allacy that Che exer-
else Of the right to project slave property is an
admission of the right toprohibiI and destroy it,
is in few words clearly exposed.
1t will be seen from the letter that he regards
the admission of California under present cir
cumstances as t~antnmount to the Wilmot
Proviso.
He does not elaborate at length his reasons
for entertaining this opinion, having done so
in a speech previously made in the Senate.
Ifthcn the admission Of California be in eff
feet the same thing as the Wilmot Proviso, the
South having always announced her determine
alton to resist the Wilmot Proviso, must now
offer the same resistance TO the admission OIL
California, unless her opposition to the Proviso
was merely an opposition to the name aud not
the thing.

AN INCIDENT ~ THE UNION MEETING OF
Holmes. There was a rally some three weeks
since in Holmes county Of the par excellence
friends Of the Union.
Cfcourse a great anxiety was felt that there
should be utmost harmony in Union meeting.
One ofthe Resolutions offered, expressed their
satisfaction with the late compromise Bill, and
that they would have cheerfully acquiesced
in il, if il had become a law, etc. Some oppo-
sition sPringing up against this resolution,
when the vote was about to be taken, a gen
tleman proposed that all opposed to the reso.
luton should come over to the South side o.
The house, and alIin favor Of it should 60 oyel
to the northern side Of the b%uilling. The ma,
jority went over to the South side and thus the
resolution was lost. we see this stated in til,

A ScuTHERN Pass IN NEW OaLEANs.-
The NatcheE Free Trader has been for some
time past urging upon public attention, the
prcpriety Of establishing in New Orleans, a
Press devoted to the rights Of tho South.
In no Southern city, is there as much neces-
sity for one. Indeed an Others have journals
that truly reflect Southern sentiments.
We have no particular knowledge Of any 0
the papers in the city, except The neutral ones
and IL they go 10 for plcosing all sides, theJ
steer as eIear a. possible Of politicl questions
Their main object is to make a readable papeI
containing early news, rs 90 the state Of tn
markets, items o~fEoreign and domestic interest
&c. az.
There u thought to Be more northern feeliny
IN New Orleans, than IN any other city of th
South, and ofcourse all that win be .arraye

TaE GEORGIA CoNvENTIoN.-We remarked
last week that by an act of the last Legisla-
ture, the Governor of Georgia was required to
assemble her Legislature, in the event of the
admission of California.
We see however that, II is not the Legisla-
ture, but a Convention, which il becomes the
duty Of the Governor to cali
Georgia seems to have acted with more fore.
sight than the other Southern States, in pro-
viding that,in tho event Of certain aggressions
upon her rights, Q convention, Of delegates d.
rect from the people should be called, having
power to take whatever action the emergency
may demand.
This convention Ihoweyer, in the popular
P%arlance Of oonsolidationists, will be an as
semblage Of traitors, and possibly we may hear
ONE threats from high quarters, of breaking
UP the traitorous conclave by the strong arm Of
the Federal government. There seems to be
a great desire with scme tolest the strength OF
the government.

we have heard it suggested by some Of ouT
citizens that their should be a grand South
ern Rally at jackson, shortly after the adj.
Journment Of Congress, and when our Repre-
'entatives can meet their constituents. and
give an account Of their stewardship,
We would suggest that a Barbecue should
he given them at jackson about the lst Nom
day in November. AT that time the FEEDER.
al Cont will be in session and manv ner,ons
will necessarily be called there on bnqiness
In our opinion the proceedings of the late
Congress have been more extraordinary and
remarkable than those OF any that have pre-.
celed il.
Mississippi having been the first to throw y
herself in the breach and lead off in pro
posing the grand Southern Convention
at Nashville, should not play the laggarl
when in the opinion Of some Of her siste
States, the time for action has arrived.
If a Barbecue be agreed to, we think W
can undertake to say TINT Madison will con
tribute her share or the materials necessar
to get it up, and a large and respectable
delegation will be sent to attend it.
Some such demonstration should be mad,
what say our brethren Of the Press?

Later FROM TEXAS

BY the steamer Galveston, witch arri
we'd this morning, we have later i%ntel!i-
gence from Texas. The dates from Gal.
weston are Of the 18th.
The legislature of Texas has adjourned
without any action on the boundary ques
ton, TO meet again on the third Monday
in November next. NJ Intelligence had
been received Of the passage Of any final
Bill by congress, and The adjournment is
for the purpose of meeting such a oropo-
siLion.
The legislature did pass a law reqIifing
The Governor, in the event Of any PROPOSE
ton being received from The United S.
for the purchase ofthe New Mexican terri.
tory, TO order by proclamation a vote Of the
people on the acceptance or rejection OF
The offer. IL further required the Govern
or TO convene the legislature, to take final
action on The subject, after the vote by tn e
people should be asceltained.
The bill Gov. Bell vetoed upon sever
al grounds, among which are. That the
proposition might be insulting and Often.
sive and some discretion ought to be left
with the Executive as TO the propltety OF
ordering a State vote upon it; and, fur
Their, that the imperative direction to the
Governor to convene an extra session oi
the legislature is in direct violation of the
constitution of the State, which rrposes
the power to Judge Of the occasion solely
with the governor.
The house sustained the vote, by refu-
sing to pass the bill; the Senate voted to
sustain it by two thirds, but it failed foI
want of house support.
The Galveston News contains the fol-
lowing paragraph, which gives encourage
ment 0 fthe ready acceptance OF the Boun-
Diary bills.
We notice that some ofthe New Orleans
papers are at issue as 10 the fact whether

place before or after the Legislature were

We can inform them hat the. legislature

ABoLrTr1NIsN AND THE LATE BlLLs.-We'see
it stated that Mr. Seward in the Senate recent
ly expressed himself well pleased with the late
Bills 50 far as Mey rent, but he said that they
were the commencement Of a series Of measures
on which he had set his heart. Even some
Southern men and Southern papers are rejoic-
ing at the passage Of these Bills, that are but
"the commencement Of a series of measurcs,'
on which Mr.. Seward has set hs abolition heart
The mOdsrados can rejoice with Seward at
"the commencement il not at the termination
OF these measure s so dear to the great North
eFn abolition heart.
Perhaps when the sequal Of those measures
is reached, the modcrados will have progressed
far enough, still to keep company with Mr.
Seward in his patriotic rejoicings.

The severest critics an Editor has, are those
who don't take bis paper.
These gentry are often disposed to y%oluntoe
severe denunciations upon his style, taste, judg-
nent, his selections and communications and
every thing that pertains to his duties. Well,
a newspaper is a sort ola public concern, and
we presume they have a right to do SO. We
are ourselves however fortunately blessed with
a tight considerable stock of independence,
and although their criticisms may be just and
well merited, we have too little respect for the
critics, to have our equanimity in the least dis.
turbed by their e%roakiag tvaddle.
