The Macon Meetine.

We are informed on The highest authority, that
the Macon meeting numbered about eight thou
sand persons. @e
Our readers will see from extracts we pub
lish from other papers in that State the moral
effect OF this and other meetings there, on the
minds OF those heretofore friendly to Mr.. CLAWS
plan.
If we consider the circumstances of this meet
ing, and the host of others in the South--that
they have occurred spontaneously in opposition
to both party organs here, the Union and Intel
llgencer, and to many there--that there never
has been before so decided and unquestionable
a demonstration of popular sentiment made
without distinction of party, and in defiance of
it--there can be no room for reasonable doubt
that large portion of the South is ready to de-
fcnd her rights to the last extremity
The people who met at Macon, and
those of other meetings at the South, who
have expressed their confidence in our paper, and
have even appointed committees to obtain sub
scribers, have our warm acknowledgements
Never before, we believe has a press been thus
honored and thus sustained.
In fact the spontaneous subscriptions that
have thronged to our paper, teach an important
lesson. In about ten weeks our list has risen
to seven thousand, thus rivalling in that short
space of time, the Southern subscription of any
other paper here, and still going on with unpre-
cedented rapdity. ~r .aa ..5a
These facts must arrest the attention of the
most needless and reckless--and we hope be-
fore II is too late sat.Nf3 ata '@N.H.

~ We have received a note from Senator
WnIrcoMB repudiating the imputation of being
a Free-soiler, made in the article classifying the
party distinctions of members of Congress, we
published from the Herald.
We did not examine that article, and inserted
it without observing the position assigned to
Senator WHlTcoMB, or we would have corrected
it ourselves. @
We have never classed him with the Free

Principle laid down by
the Supreme Court of the United States, viz
On the transfer Of tie eeded territory, it has
never been held that the relations Of the inhabi-
tants with each other undergo any change.
Their relations with their former sovereign are
dissolved, and new relations created between
them and the government which has acquired
their territory. The mere act which transfers
their country, transfers the allegiance of those
who remain in it, and the law, which may he de-
nominated political, is necessarily changed, al
though that WHICH regulates their intercourse
and general conduct of individuals remains in
force until altered by the newly created power
of the State H.
The treaty is the law Of the land, and admits
the inhabitants Of New Mexico to the enjoy
nent of the privileges, rights and immuniiies Of
citizens Of the United States. II is necessary
to inquire, whether this is not their condition, in
dependent of stipulation. They do not, how
ever, participate in political power; they do not
share in the government till New Mexieol shall
became State. In the meantime New Mexico
continues to be 4 territory of the United States,
governed by that clause of the Constitution
which empowers Congress to make all ncedful
rules and regulations respecting the territory
and other property belonging to the United
States"

Thursday Morning, March 5, 1850,
MR.. CALHOUN'S SPEECH.

The insertion of the whole of Mr.. Calhoun's
speech on the slavery question, leaves us no room
10 comment upon it. One general remark, we think,
it demands and that is, that it deals in assertion
much more than in reasoning. Thus, Mr.. Cal
houn asserts, in broad language, that the policy of
the Administration claims for the inhabitants of
the Territories, instead of Congress- the power to
legisate for the Territories. This is not true
The Administration invited the people of Califor
MIA to frame form of State Government, to be
submitted to the acceptance Of Congress. And Mr..
Calhoun himself has declared that the people of
Territory, in the act of framing State Consti-
tuition, have the right to establish or exclude sla-
very. Nothing whatever has emanated from Pre-
sident Taylor, to the effect that the California
Constitution has any validity before it is sane
toned by Congress. There may be (and doubt
less are) irregularities in the mode in which Ca
lifornia presents her application, but the principle
on which the President has acted, is precisely that
which has heretofore received Mr.. Calhoun's
sanction, to wit, that the people of Territory in
the act of forming a State Government, have a
right to adopt for themselves any domestic regu-
laons they choose, consistent with republican
forms.
The drift of Mr.. Calhoun's effort seems to us
to be, that the South and the North are too dis
similar in interests and sentiment to remain under
the same Government; that the South can look
for no security in future without an amendment
of the Constitution guaranteeing perpetualequa-
lity in the Senate; and that, as this amendment is
utterly hopeless, the two sections should now
part in peace" We think it is. clear that MIR.
Calhoun is for dsunion per Sc, provided it can be
effected peaceably; and we must say, his speech
causes us to doubt extremely his readiness for
another kind of separation.

THE SAVANNAH DEFALCATtON.


A Geographic despatch was received by the Bank OF
Charleston Saturday morning last, announcing that
George Buloch the Cashier Of the Central Railroad
Bank, had absconGed with large amount OF the notes
OF that institution, and that five thousand dollars reward
for his apprehension had been offered Subsequent ad
vices by telegraph inform that the amount distracted
by Bulloch is about hundred thousand dollars and
that his bondsmen are liable for forty thousand doa
The reserved fund Of the Bank it is said is more than
sufficient to cover the loss An intimate friend Of Bull
och is in jail, on the suspicion of having aided in his
escape, There sno certainty yet to the direction
of his flight.
The Charleston Courier says:
In addition we have been informed that advces
received in this city, which induced the belief that the
fraud on the Bank was premeditated one. A coored
female, with two children, one OF whom was but few
weeks old reached here in the Savannah boat and was
sought out by police and sent back yesterday morn
ing, that those better acquainted with the matter might
learn something calculated to give more light on the sub
ject
Nothing was elected TO give ''form and body" to the
transaction as far this individual was concerned
Inc general impression appears to be that the den-
quent has taken advantage ofhe Isabel to make
his escape. The time OF his departure from Savannah
would SO indicate There are other circumstances to in
duce the police to be on the alert in every quarter
Five thousand dollars reward has been Offered for his
detection
