The OnsIo1x NIeet,up again.

Our contemporary of the Chronicle must permit us
to say that we think he attaches undue Importance
to the matter of the fourth resolution of the Onslow
meeting. The resolution, printed in the Journal,
read thus:
f. Resolved, That hold the application Of the Wmot
proviso to the territories be unconstitutional nexpe
dent unnecessary, unequal unjust land eventuate
in the dissolution of the Union
The closing sentence in brackets the Chronicle
upon the authority of OWEN HUGG1Ns, Esq, one of
the Secretaries of the meeting says stricken out
For our own part we attach no sort of Importance
to the sentence way Or the other. It is simply
an inference from what went before, and whether
expressed in the resolution OF not is unavoidable
The facts of the to be that the resolu-
ton, as reported by the Committee, stood thus:
L. Resoved That hold the application of the Wlmot
proviso to the territories be unconstitutional inexpe-
dicnt unnecessary unequal unjust land no other
remedy left to the South, in the of passage
dissolution of the present Union and the organization
slave States into separate confederacyl
But that all that part in brackets was stricken out
by the Committee, at the suggestion of Hon. w. H.
WASHINGTON, and on motion of JOHN WASHINGTON
Esq, the words land must eventuate in the dissou-
ton of the Union, substituted, and the ques-
ton was taken upon the amendment, and it was
adopted, after which, the resolution amended was
passed motion was then made to reconsider the
vote by which the amended resolution was adopted
and on this motion several speeches were made and
some confusion ensued and when the vote was taken
upon the motion to reconsider considerable doubt ex-
listed to whether the motion was or was not car
ried. The delegation to the Wilmington Convention
considered that the motion for reconsideration had
failed. AT any rate, no further motion was made,
does it appear that the amendment was actually
stricken out This, however, is matter of earthly
importance. AS we have no sort of interest in the
matter, one way or the other perfectly willing
to admit that the Chronicle is right for as we have
before said, 1T makes earthly odds-none in the
world.
So far as the Editors of the Journal are concern.
ed they have no hesitation in explaining all they
know about the matter: which is that on the after
noon Of the 7th inst, we received the Resolutions o.
the Onslow meeting from Mr.. CANrwELL, who had
just arrived from that county DESTROYS to publish
the proceedings before the meeting of the Whining
ton Convention, they were put Immediately in the
nanos OF the composition, and published in the paper
OF the oth without waiting for the official copy, the
resolutions being preceded by few remarks Or
the Wednesday following the Chronicls came GU
with his "secret history" which gave great ofenc,

to the Onslow delegation-many OF whom called up
ON us, considerably rrtated. They expressed their
unanimous opinion that the fourth resolution as pub
lished in the Journal really expressed the sense OF
the meeting and was thus passed, and no part of it
stricken out The article upon this subject in the
Journal of the week before last, was suggested by
Mr. SANDERS, on behalf of the delegation but as we
have before said very much modified and softened
bv us. In conclusion we would remark, that we
hardly think that the of the Chronicle in this
matter has been characterized by as much courtesy
and good feeling as it might have been. We cannot
understand the necessity for mpugning the motives
of others IT, in the opinion of the editor any mistake
existed in our unofficial report of the meeting, he
should have taken for granted that upon that mis-
take being pointed out u.s. would be willing to
correct it. Admitting that the mistake did exist, it
a. UNITS to just nothing at ALL
| AS Mr. HUGG1Ns was one of the Secretaries of the
meeting we are willing to accord to his testimony
that weight to which it is justly entitled; although
in regard to this resolution it differs from that of the
delegation We are perfectly willing to admit that
the resolution was any way or either way, just as
the Chronicle may desire, for repeat, we care
nothing about the matter, attach to it any i'm
portance and with this explicit declaration, we
hope to end this controversy about goats wool.

Southern Rights Meetings.

At Southern Rights meeting held in Granville
county, on the 5th inst, after much debate twas re-
solved not to send any delegates to District Con-
venton nor to take any measures to be represented
at Nashville. The meeting was addressed by Gen
SAUNDERS and JOHN KERR Cen SAUNDERS in favor
of being represented, Mr. KERR opposed to it. At
similar meeting held in Beaufort county on the
18th resolutions in favor of the Nashville Convention
were voted down. and indeed all action deprecated In
both these cases, the very strongest influence was
brought to bear in order to suppress the movement
In Beaufort the meeting was held at Mr.. STANI.Y's
home, and effort spared by his friends to have
every thing arranged as it was In Granville, a
county with Wing majority, that indomtable
band yclept the Roly Click" out in full force.
We would say word in regard to remark of
Mr.. KERR, at the Granville meeting, and that is,
that no man of influence character committed
to, or connected with, this Southern movement. We
think Mr.. KERR must have been forgetful for GER
tainIy in this district, at least two gentlemen nfe
ror in character and standing to none in the State
are decidedly favorable to the movement and is
delegate from this district. We allude to Messrs
STRANGE and DoBB1N. Certainly such disparage-
ment of opponents although it may be good federal
ism is neither good TASTE nor sound policy.

COngress-The Territorial Bills.

Decidedly the event in the political world, during
the last week. has been the introduction, by Judge
Douglas, Chairman of the Territorial Committee Of
the Senate of two bills, providing for the adnlis
sion of California with her present lmits-the 9TH
er for the creation of two territorial governments
from the remaining territory. One containing the
Mormon Territory of Deseret to be called the Terri
tory of Utah and the other formed out of the Ter
ritOry of New Mexico The bills for the creation of
the territorial governments in the usual form of
such bills and contain proviso in regard to sla-
very.
The territorial bill also provides for the settlement
of the Texas boundary by the cession, by Texas of
the territory which she claims in New Mexico, for
which she is to receive pecunary compensation of
from ten to fifteen millions of dollars. Such are the
main provisions of the two bills and such seems to
be the only scheme of compromise that can succeed
1t is believed that these bills will pass the Senate
and, eventually, the House: but how soon or how
late, is another matter. The Mormon Government,
established in the valley of the Salt Lake under the
of Deseret, is discarded and the name changed
to Utah. Such is said to be the prejudice against
the Mormons in the Western States, that even a
Mormon name would be sufficient to defeat the bill
Whatever may be our ideas or feelings in regard
fixed fact that California will be admitted at the
present session, and with her present boundaries
and this admission will be acquiesced in by major
ity of the Southern members, provided it be
panied with satisfactory settlement of all the other
questions in dispute and proper provision for the
formation and admission of new slave States from
Texas together with efficient provision for the re-
capture and delivery of fugitive slaves.

NeigFnbor Wilkins Hint.

"A man having purchased worn out
farm and invested all his money in his
real estate, tried hard by his labor to make
, u produce crop. After n iaborious sum
mer's work he signally failed. His crops
OF corn, oats, and buckwheat, were scarce
ly worth harvesting. Winter came or,
aud with it encouragement and despond-
ency. He met his ncighbor, and in the
language OF scripture, inquired, "What
shall | do :" His neighbor in reply, in
true Yankee style, answered this question
by asking another. Neighbor Wilkins,
have you ever kept a third man ON your
farm!" always" "How can you rain
the greatest amount Of labor in a season
from his efforts!" In the first place
give him plentiful supply of food, for a
full stomach for laborer is Jewel; next,
begin the day early, and keep steady at it,
",fou have answered truly; manage your
farm as you do your hired man. Feed it
with nourishnent for vegetation; feed it
iull and keep it fed. Clear out the barn
yard; dig up the muck from the swamps;
aowon all the ashes you can get: cart
sand from the drainage of the Streets
When you begin upon field feed it; feed
it'fuil and keep it fed. Then go to the
iiCHt iot. anu iCcu i'll l1lc same style. such
fields rccoliect the kindness OF the owner,
and they pay him for it moro than fifty fold.
Then plough and dig and the reward is
sure" Neighbor Wilkins opened his eyes
in astonishment at his own ignorance, and
said, 81 see see A feeble starved
filed cannot work much. A poor starved
field cannot bear much" Common sense
might have taught him, but il had not
Thousands, like him, "scratch gravel" for
naught all their days.
Neighbor Wilkins saw where he missed
it. The next year he planted four acres of
corn, after he had coated the field with all
the iertlizing material he could gather
during one short winter. He told me that
"he had scraped all creation" Novembe,
fold true story. Two hundred and sixt"
bushels of corn made him laugh. =.
wifc made puddings without grumbling.
and his children eat with pleasure. Thus,
friend Wilkins went from fold TO field, and
fed it as he went. In its turn it fed him,
his family, his cattle. His barren farm
became productive; bis naked fields be-
camo clothed with herbage. He became
rich. His farm was rich, Peace dwalt in
his household. plenty filed his granarics,
and fortune smiled upon him.
