UNITED STATES MAIL MSHIP
Y-TIIROUGH PASSAGE TO

COMPhN L. --IfhOCGH G.1Sc.1trE ~
CALIFORNIA
rTIIE public will be gratifed to learn tina, the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abIed to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection With their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desrous TO 60 out, to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round. This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de Janero at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience Of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three Of the four ships OF the Company intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran

The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay Of the ship IN port at Pana-
ma, will arise.
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

Pubic MEETING IN MACON, MIssrssIrpI-At
n meeting Of portion Of the friends of the
Nashville Convention, beld at the Town-fall,
in Macon, on Monday the 9th day Of September,
1850, DR.. r. l.. Yates was called to the chair,
and Charles S. Atterbcry appointed Secretary.
On motion Of DR.. A. ID FAINT, q committee of
three was appointed to drst and report resolu-
tions, for the consideration and action of the
meeting. The committee appointed under this
resolution consisted of DR.. a. E. Fant, John Nj.
Pagan, and Hampton Williams.
On motion Of III. II. Colbert, Capt. VIM. A.
Slaughter was added TO the committee. The
committee retired, and, after a short absence,
returned, and reported the following resolutions,
which were unanimously adopted.
L. Resoired, That the Constitution is the COM
pact which brought these States into the Union ;
and that this Union cannot be preserved and
perpetuated, nor our rights, equality and safety
maintained, if the Constitution is not strictly nd
hered to.
g. Res Iced, That whenever the Constitution
is disregarded by the people of one section of
the CoDfederacy, in order to practise aggressions
on the rights of the people of another section
the compact ceases to be binding on the party
aggrieved.
3. Resoired, That the people of the Northern
section of this Confederacy, in refusing to COM
ply with, and in openly violating that clause Of
the Constitution in reference to fugitive slaves
have broken the compact.
A. Resolred, That the admission of California
as State into the Union, with her present
bounda les and constitution, will be subversivc
of the spirit Of the Federal Constitution, and
without precedent in this G"vernment, and de-
structiye of the right and equality of the entire
South
g. Resolred, That the Federal Government
possesses no more power under the Constitu-
ton to coerce sovereign State, which has been
mpeled TO separation in defence of her free
dom. honor, and safety, than she had to compel
her into the Union at its formation.
s. Resolred, That we regard the resolutions
of the Nashville Convention az eminently con-
servative, yielding more than our constitutional
rights, for the sake of the Union; and that we
recommend the re-assembling Of that body, and
appoint from this county ---- delegates.
s T. Resolped, That we recommend the Sonth-

THE TEXAS CONTROVERSY.
Texas appears to be bristlng up in the true
South Carolina style. But few years ago, and
she was a mendicant-begging admission into
the Union. Now, she has grown so large that
she swells up most pompously and bids defiance
to the rest of the Confederacy, and proposes tt
cut and carve as she pleases in the national do
main. The last advices from there represent
the whole State as exercised with a very belli
gerent feeling and rampant for war.
Below will be found proclamation of Gov.
ernor Bell, calling special session of the Legis.
ature, to take steps, we suppose, to carry out
her threats Of invasion against New Mexico
In this matter, the General Government has but
one course to pursue. That is resistance of
these absurd claims, until the whole controversy
shall be settled by a competent tribunal.
The article we copy from the Picayune, is a
rather ludicrous commentary upon the bravado
and buster of Texas. Her inhabitants are fee
ing into Mexican territory to avoid the barbara.
ties of the savages. While the State cannot
protect its own citizens from the rowing Indians
it threatens war with the United States. We
trust no time will be lost in ordering all til.
troops in Texas to Santa Fe #a.
