duced to one or the other Of these alterna-
tves:
Either M. Walker, an l847, AS, 40,
acting under Mr.. PoLk's authority, squan-
dered the public money;
Or, in 1850, the Bitter Endeys intend to
STOP THE SUPPLIES necessary TO Mr.
WaLker in lS47, AS, 40, and to that eur
tent break doicn the Government.
General SANTA ANNA, on his way to
Buena Vista, calculated just as General
BAYLY does-that he would cut off Rough
and Ready's supplies by the cavalry de-
tached to his rear; then he would cut old
Rough and Ready up on the field. The
two generals have about equal ability,
and their common tactics will have about
the same results in the end. There are
some men born never to be beaten--and
one of them is in the White House there.
The people will soon see through it all,
and soon set all right.
The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-02-13

The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger, (Locofoco,) in let
ter under date of February 10, throws out
the following important suggestion;
There is only one fact which, when II shall come
to the general knowledge Of the people, may change
the position Of the slavery question II is this that
the people Of California, south Of $50 3d. arc even
more attached to the constitution which inhibited
slavery than those north Of that line. am in.
formed that, including the population Of Monterey
(Which is situated little north Of $50 80, there
were not in all that portion Of California down 20
Mexico, more than TWENTY ONE persons opposed TO
the constitution This fact, which has not been
known here, or at least not in authentic FORM
has already alarmed certain southern Senators:
and the question is now debated whether the South
had better admit California with her present limits
divide her in two, and in little while have sno.
thcr free State knocking at the door Of the Union
for admission II is not at all unlikely, then that
in short time tho North and South may change
grounds on that subject--the North going for d.
vision Of State of moro than or about two hundred
thousand square miles, and the South insisting that
IL shall come in as State one and indivisble."

stopping the Supplies.

Extract from Mr.. Bayiy's Speechl
The gentleman from New York (Mr. BRooKs)

: by which can acquire national reputation. He
advises me TO rise above party, and pursue course

Der, he never would have wasted any
such advice upon the Chairman of Ways
and Means, whose past course in Congress
has always shown him to be one of the
ultras and whose present course in the
House demonstrates him TO be one of the
Bitter Enders.
Stopping the supplies is sometimes in
the power Of an opposition to govern
ment but such kind Of opposition is but
a little short of revolution I; it is violence
of the worst kind The Speaker Of the
House, elected by the generous forbear-
ance Of the WHIcs, for the sake of an or
ganization of the House, put Mr.. BAYLY
at the head of the Committee which has
the most frequent and the most intimate
relations with the PRESIDENT and his ad-
ministration. Whether the Speaker Sc
lectcd such man in preference to ex-
Governor Mcdowell, Of Virginia, or Mr..
McLANE, Of Maryland, because of his

Thus is demonstrated what we started
with saying--all Mr.. MEREDITH wants is
what Mr.. WALKER had in lS47, '4S or
'49, adding on the cost Of collecting the
revenue in Texas districts, Oregon and
California-all added to our expenditures

TO talk louder, and denouncc with more violence,
before he could close the mouths Of this minority.

COMPROMISE RESOLUTIONS, (sLAvERy)
Mr.. BERRIEN resumed his remarks and con
tinued the examination Of the question whether
Congress had the power TO lcgislate on the subject
of slavery in the Territories He cited the authority
of writers on international law to show that when
several distinct powers united made acquisition
of property that property the common prop
erty Of all, and neither had right TO exclude the
others from the enjoyment OF it upon terms Of per-
feet equality, TO institute any difference be-
tween the several parties in the possession and en-
joyment of the same, to the advantage or dsad-
vantage Of any Of the common owners. In the
newly acquired Territories, the property was
equally the property Of the slavehodng States as
Of the free States, and Congress nor any other
power had the right to institute any difference in
The enjoyment Of that property TO the disadvantage
Of the South.
Labor and industry were the same in all sections
In the South the laboring interest was invested in
this property of slaves, and the peculiar products
TO which that labor was adapted In Maine, New
Hampshire and Massachusetts, the labor and in
dustry had been directed TO the shipping interest
Congress had no power TO interfere with or break
up the shipping interest of those States by any
Limitation; and had she any more right 10 control
the laboring interest Of the slavebolderl She had
the same right TO say TO the people Of the eastern
as TO say TO the STAKEHOLDER you shall not carry
your slave labor into California

ton giving Congress the power 10 make all needful

say is not good evidence; tina, is the law

The melancholy news reached this
place, this day, of the death of the Hon.
John Z. Calhoun, of South Carolina, the
champion for so many years of the south,
and her peculiar institutions. Mr.. Cal
houn was great man in the truest sense
OF the term-and history will do him JUS
tice. He told your humble servant abou,
three years ago, that he was born in Penn
sylvania; and if recollect right, in Lar
caster county. His father was an Irish
emigrant. and farmer in Pennsylvania
previously and subsequently to the birth
of his son John, who was destined 10 ill
such space in the public eye--as he has
done so many years. l will do him the
justice to say, that although do not ap-
prove of his doctrines on the question of
slavery in his lifetime, believe most sim
cerely that he was honest. All hope is.
that so far as his advocacy of the institu-
tion of slavery is concerned, that Shakes
pere, may have been mistaken when he
said, that "the evil men do live after them
but the Fgood is of. inferred with their
bones
We have news also, that DR.. J. W. Web
ster, has been convicted Of the murder Of
DIR. DIR. George w. Parkman. Oh, what
a warning is this case to evil doersi From
the inmost recess of my heart, pity his
poor innocent wife and children, but 70,
the wretch who could commi, such
bloody act as that for which he is conric-
ted have but little sympathy. Truly
the way of "the transgressor is hard"
There is not any thing of importance up
to-day. Some of the playful ones in tho
Legislature, are amusing themselves a.
the expense of their credulous neighbors.
by sending them on fools errands.--

The Probability of Pardon

The Probability Of Pardon for
Uebster.-The Boston correspondent of
of the New York Mirror, says, in refer
ence TO Professors Webster's sensence:-
There is not the slightest probability,
am given TO understand by those who
ought to know best, that the penalty of
death will be commuted 10 any less de-
gree of punishment. On this point, very
strong feeling of jealousy exists here just
now. The efforts made so zealously and
and SO Intellectually for the procurement
of the pardon of Washington Goode, or a
commuiation of his sentence, are as yet
well remembered by all, and the success
of similar ones III favor of professor,
would produce sensation scarcely, if
any. short Of tumultuous in this commu-
nifty.

HFhe editor of the Johnstown Echo
endeavors to creep out the charge ct hav-
ing given publicity to statement whici,
he knew 10 be false and malicious, BY re-
ferring his readers to the meeting held in
this place last week. This is about equiv
olent to acknowledging "the corn," and is
sufficient TO satisfy any one that his as
ser;ion Of VIM. s. Campbell having offer
ed to &C; as a substitute for any man was
purely gratuitous, and made with the
double view of creating an i'll feeling to-
wards the Superintendent and of convert
ing the democratic meeting into personal
quarrel. We know that any feeling of
friendship that the editor Of the Echo en-
tertains towards VIM. S. Campbell would
not prevent him from giving the public the
proof were it in his power, and this fact
itself is sufficient to stamp the charges as
lsc.
But we care nothing about the matter,
were it not for the evil consequences that
were intended to follow, subyersive OF
that harmony in the party which is SO ne
cessary TO success; and Mr.. Smith could
find 40 more efectiye plan O.! playing into
the hands of the wings than the one ne
appears 10 have adopted.

uFronl she call c! the Chairman Of
the Democratic County Comnaissee which
appears in to-day's paper. j: VIII be sean
that the election of Delegates to the Dem
ocraiic State Convention which is to as
semble at Williamspors on the 29th Of
May next has been referred back to the
people for their decision. Each township
will now send two del gates to a Cctf.y
Convention, for the purpose of settling
the matter in satisfactory manner. We
trust the people themselves will take Min
hand, attend the meetings, and act in ii as
becomes men who have the welfare of
the party at heart, discarding all questions
of foreign nature. We are glad that
this plan has been adopted. 1t is the
extends it will hereafter be exerted against
calling another such meeting for such a
purpose, as the one which met here last
Cour. Week. Such meetings can be of
no service to the party, and especially
when, by the action of few petty deana.
gogues, they are made TO turn upon the
merits or demerits of single individuh,
whose name there is no more right in
bringing INTO meeting of that kind than
that of any other person.
As We stated in our last, the meeting
which assembled here on Cours Week
was by far the largest that ever convened
in Ebensburg. Tremendous efforts had
been made for a considerable time previ-
Gus, by the personal enemies of the Su-
perintendent of the Portage Railroad, to
bring up question totally foreign TO the
legitimate purposes for which it was call
ed, and which had no other object than
that of gratifying personal spleen at the
expense of the party. l, had been deter
mined to raise an issue relative to the
merits or dement's of WM. S. CAMPBELL.
II is needless for US 10 say that the effort
failed. Amy candid man, who was pres
ent at that meeting, must have felt salts
fed that had such an issue been raised,
VIM. S. Campbell would have been sus-
tanned, without the assistance of single
man employed on the Road. He would
have been sustained by men totally dis
connected with the Road, and who have
no personal interest in the matter; but
they would have supported him, because
they regarded the course pursued by his
enemies in raising such question a. such
a time. as being wrong in the extreme.
The great numbers that were present at
that meeting, render minute description un-
necessary at our hands. Suffice it to say
that we hope we may never witness such
another.
Let the people turn out to the Delegate
meetings now called, and send men to the
Convention in whom they have implicit
confidence. Let them act for the good Of
great Democratic party, without permitting
local questions or personal animoslties for
a moment to influence their conduct.

ENGLAND,
Financial affairs.


The Chancellor of the Exchequsr has
presented his budget for the ensuing year
and although he had the pleasure Of an
nouncing surplus of nearly two and
half millions, still the manner in which
that surplus had been disposed of was
anything but satisfactory 10 the country.
Ministers are said TO hold offices by very
precarious tenure.
In developing the view. OF Governs
ment on Financial matters, the Chancei.
lor was obliged to proceed on two kinds
of estimates, viz: The income and eI-
penditure to the 5th of April, 1850. He
intimated then that the public income ot
the financial year ending on the 9th
proximo would amount to ESQ, 1855 500
and the expenditure to SO, O,53S ,65l. He
estimated The probable surplus on the 5th
of April at S2,250,000. AS for the esii-
mate for the year ending 9Th of A2r1l,
1851, he feared he could not hold out the
hope of such favorable state ofthe Gus
toms, chiefly owing to the reduction upon
Sugar, and partly from reduced imPor'
tation of other articles, such as CON-
Brandy, &c.-He estimated the receipts
from Customs, including Corn, at e20s-
100000, making total probable income
of esq, ,2s5, ,OO0, for the financial yea,
ending 5th April, 1851. He estimated
the expenditure at ESQ, ,6l3, ,5S2, but that
amount was contingent supon certain
things named. He proposed to take iot
a total margin one hundred and htty
thou sand pounds, consequently the prob
able expenditure would be about ESQ.,
762 ,5S2. Under these circumstances
there would be surplus income beyond
the expenditure in the year in round
numbers Of el, 100000. His own pro
posals for disposing of this surplus are
various, among which he proposes to ap'
ply one half the surplus TO reduction
of the National Debt. He pressed upon
the House the necessity of maintaining
considerable surplus in the Exchequer, as
it would enable its Chancellor to make
those advances without adding to the puO-
lie debt.
