THE PEOPLE OF GEoReIA Nov

tidings of a strong and growing ten
dency of the popular sentiment in
Georgia to discard former political
differences, and rally in defence of
Southern rights. The Nashville
Convention is gaining ground rapid
Iy. The disposition 10 sustain it and
ratify its proceedings, is spreading
among the people. We will soon see
the swelling tide of popular opinion
bearing up that great political move
ment in triumph over its foes.
We have no space to-day to speak
as our houyant feelings prompt us, of
the auspicious and inspiring signs
which brighten the horizon.
We publish the proceeding of sew
cral meetings, which have been all
ready held. They breathe the right
tone and spirit. They speak the true
sentiments of the people of Georgia.

Clay's compromise, at their peril.

CONGRESS- on TUESDAY.

The proceedings Of Congress last Tuesday
were somewhat exciting.
In the House Mr. Preston King charged the
Speaker with mutilating the Journal so as to
change motion previously submitted by him
lie had moved the usual resolution for termi
mating debate on the message of the President in
relation to California, and on the bill for its adj
mission On consulting the Journal Of the House
he found that the part relating to the bill had been
erased.
The Speaker (Mr Winthrop occupying the
Chair pro tnl) explained that on hearing the
Journal read by the Clerk, he ordered the words
"and on the bill, to be stricken out This he
did in the exercise of his right, as Speaker, to
correct the Journal, on the ground that, as the
bill had originated in the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, the House
had no power to entertain motion to terminate
debate upon it.
Mr. King contended, that when he su omitted
the motion, that the time to rule that it, or
part of it, was out of order
After IA scene of much excitement. the House
T7eo Te stras7 e0r7nittee- he appointed to inves-
tigate the charge aud report
The House then resolved itself into Committee
of the Whole on the state of the Union, aud Mr.
Harris Of Illinois occupied an hour with speech
against Disunion.
In the Senate, the morning hour was taken up
with the consideration of motion submitted by
Mr., Foote, to make the Territorial bills submit
ted by MIR. Douglas the order of the day for Fri
day.
This brought Mr. Benton to his feet. who in
great excitement called upon the friends of Cali
fOrnia to rally for the fght-the time had come
no other business should take precedence of Cali
fornia
scene ensued between MIR. Benton and MIR.
Foote, in which personalities of the most painful
character were exchanged, for which the Vice
President deserves, as We think, severe censure

The motion was laid upon the table. The CEN
sus bill was postponed till Friday. Mr.. Cay's
resolutions were taken up, and MIR Chase took
the floor. We shall report his speech hereafter
The national era. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1847-1860, 1850-03-28

Rewards have been offered by Southern Legisla-
lures for white citizens Of Massachusetts, and
New York, who have simply exercised their con-
stitutional right of freedom Of speech in respect
to Slavery. The rights which the Constitution
secures to citizens OF State, while visiting an
other for health pleasure, or business, are denied
to those who are known to be hostile TO Slavery,
or active advocates Of universal freedom. Thus
has Liberty throughout the land been corrupted
and impaired, and the prediction of William
Pinkney realized to the letter. The insolence
and arrogance of Slavery have increased with
every concession, and have been aggravated by
every compromise Free labor suffers by its con-
tact with slave labor and in the slave States the
laboring white man is regarded as but one degree
above the black chattel OF the plantation. Slavery
has no faith in the compatibility of the exercise
of the rights of citizenship with daily toll in the
field or workshop. 1t disparages humanity, and
denies the universally of its capabilities for self
government. Its philosophy is that of the Apoc-
ryphal preacher " How can he get wisdom who
holdeth the plough and that glorieth in the good
That driveth oxen, and is occupied in their la
bors, and whose talk is of bullocksp
Thus it is that the Slave Power has left no
other alternative to the freedom-loving citizens
of the Union than an unconditional surrender to
all its unreasonable exactions, demands, and ca
prices on one hand, or, ON the other its reduction,
by vigorous exercise of the powers which the
Constitution has vested in Congress to its origi.
nal condition Of stemporaSy end barely tolerated
evil, instead of favorite and permanent institu.
ton of the Government The late speech Of
Henry Clay in the Senate has left the free States
no excuse for neglect to meet this alternative
in manner consistent with the highest interests
of the whole country, the claims Of humanity,
and the obligations of Christianity. A slave
holder, and the representative Of Shareholders, he
has conclusvely shown that Congress has power
to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia
and TO prohibit it in the Territories The free
States have large majority in the popular
branch of Congress Let that majority exercise
the clear constitutional right which it possesses
to abolish, limit, and restrain Slavery, and thus
place the Government where il was in 1897, ac-
lively and unequivOcally on the side of Freedom

WASHINGTON, March is, 1850
My DEAR SIR | am exceedingly gratifed at
having it in my power TO assure you that it was
not my intention in the speech Of which you
present several extracts in the least degree TO re-
feet upon your conduct or that Of your friends
and that the thought that the supporters of your
California resolution had been induced TO ac-
quiesce in its withdrawal, in consequence of being
subjected to Intimidation, had never entered my
mind
do not deem it necessary now to discuss the
delicate question, whether or not there was dan
ger had the resolution been pressed, of certain
disagreeable scenes in the House being produced
thereby. All present danger Of their occurrence,
am happy to believe, is obviated and whether
have aided in the good work Of pacifcation or
not, am rejoiced that there is prospect at this
time of orderly legislation, and the eventual ar
rsngement of all pending questions between the
North and the South.
With sentiments Of cordial esteem and kind
ness, remain, very respectfully, your friend,
