LIVERPOOL, Wednesday morning, July TO-
CorToH.-The business continues daily on a
very extensive scale, the sales in four DAVIS having
amounted to 81 900 bags, of which the trade have
taken $4,000, The remaining $4,000 were sold
chiefly to spectators, with moderate portion for
export. These large operations have led to a
gradual advance of ID. per pound upon the last

Public Sentiment in Georgia.

The Macon Telegraph thus sums up the evil
dences Of the awakened spirit Of the people Of that
State:
'From every section Of the State, our accounts
are most cheering. The masses are moving, and
are speaking out on the subject of Southern Rights
and honor, in manner at once worthy of them
selves, and BETTING the cause and the occasion.
The unanimity with which both parties in this
State unite in condemning Mr.. Clay's bill, is the
best evidence that could be given Of the determi-
nation of the people to perpetuate their priceless
inheritance, and keep it pure and untarnished.
Muscogee, Walker, Bib, Butts, Epson, Cobb,
Decatur, Hancock, Scriven, Meriwether, and
Richmond, have spoken out in plain and emphat-
&c language. All these counties have strongly
condemned the scheme Of the Senate Pike,
Crawford, Pulaski, Dooly, Burke and Washing
ton, are moving up handsomely, and will, in a
few days take their stand by the side Of the coun-
ties first named. We trust that every other
county in the State will fall into column and pre-
sent and undivided front to the enemies Of South
ern Rights. f &
Georgia is righting herself. All honor to the
people, and God bless the noble land.''

Thus this Government agreed to deliver the
possession over to Texas with the restoration of
peace. In a contest between private litigants, a
party, who had gone into possession of land
claimed by another with an agreement to deli
yer it up at certain time, would not be permit
ted to purchase an outstanding title and set it
up against the right Of possession thus acknow-
lodged. The courts would pronounce it fraud,
and order the possession restored according to
the original agreement. Do gentlemen hold
the Government Of the United States released
from the ordinary rules Of common honesty!
The administration of MIR. Polk took measures
to redeem the faith of the Government by ordering
the possession and civil governmental be delivered
up to Texas. The Secretary of War, Mr.. Marcy,
in his Instructions TO the commander at Santa Fe,
dated Oct. 18th, l848, says
SIN regard to that part of what the Mexcans
called New Mexico, lying east of the Rio Grande,
the civil authority which Texas has established OF
may establish there, is to be respected, and in no
manner whatever interfered with by the military
force in that department, otherwise than TO lend

which can not be contested that the House
knows officially, that the whole proceeding by
which MIR. Smith claims, was had within the
limits of Texas, as she asserts them, and as they
have been recognized by this government, what
ever may be the legal effect OF that recognition
This territorial organization, therefore, Texas
declares with reason, is in opposition to her laws
and jurisdiction, and an act of sedition and revo-
luton, which will under her Constitution amount
to treason, if supported by force. The Consti-
of the United States makes it the duty Of the
Federal Governmental put down rebellion in the
States. But if the House admits Mr.. Smith, ii
ratifies and encourages this rebellion in Santa
Fe. Suppose grand jury in Texas should find
a true bill against Mr.. Smith, or any one of the
u. S. officers, for sedition or treason, does any
one imagine that the action of this House could
protect him from demand for his delivery on
the Executive Of the United States, or one Of the
States, from being delivered up and subjected
to the jurisdiction of the courts of that State
To refuse the demand would be to disregard the
act of Congress on the subject! And when the
offender was put upon his trial in that State, its
tribunals, following the well settled decisions Of
the Federal courts could not look beyond the
political action of the State on question, Of
boundary. To admit this gentleman, therefore,
to seat here as delegate is not only to violate
the territorial rights Of State, but to make this
government party to rebellion within it.

nations, as between foreign governments would
be a just cause for declaration Of war.
1t is not my purpose, Mr. Chairman, to be
drawn on this occasion into any general discus
sion of the boundaries of Texas. The State
was admitted into the Union with certain fixed
boundaries, which she had marked ont by the
sword, and which had been acknowledged BY
her enemy. =

state OF New York.

The following Is the conclusion of the
address of the National Wing party OIL
New York TO the people. It expresses
the views and feelings Of those who
seeded from the original Convention, on
account of the endorsement that body
gave Seward.
Let but the people Of the North sustain
the sentiments Of this cxtraet--let them
in truth discard all subjects of dlscord, .
aud unite in depreeating the r~e.opening OF
the slavery question and q renewal oil
ag~itation--and there will be no doubts
entertained of the stability Of the Union.
Upon the people of the North rests u
fearful responsibility for the future, and we
rejoice to know that they are beginning
to appreciate it
1--WE deeply regret hat there should be
z diversity Of sentiment or discussions
among the wings of New York. We
know of no way for them to unite, but TO
come together in the spirit OF liberation
and forbearance, and discarding all sub
lects Of discorj, to adopt those principles
and sentiments in which we all concur
Ii we have differed OH questions connected
with the institution of slavery, their settle.
ment affords MS an opportunity and a COM
mon GROUNDED reunion. The r~e-opcning
81 those questions. and a renewal Of agi-
tation would preclude all hope on recon
citation.
1t is due to the wings Of other States
and other sections, that the true position
of the wings of New York should be
known. They stand now where they
have ever stood, on the broad platform of
the Union, and upholding the banner of
The Constitution. They "know no North,
no South, but theirs is "a common
country and a common destiny" Men
may change, but our principles as lasting
and immutable as right, truth and justice.
We pledge ourselves and our constituents
for the maintenance of the Union under
all circumstances and at all hazards
