Tricks of the Clay Com promisers.

The Journal and Messenger of last week, con-
tanned what purported to be the proceedings of a
meeting held in Pulaski county, on the 4th in
slant, in favor of the Senate compromises. From
the following card from two gentlemen, residents
of that county, Of indebted veracty and respect
ability, it will be seen that no such meeting was
held. The Journal, we fear, in its zeal in
behalf of the Clay Compromise has suffered it
self to be imposed on. II is certainly bad
cause that requires such tricks to make the least
show in its favor. We hope the proceedings of
Tins Pulaski meeting, have not been despatched
TO Washington as an evidence Of public sentiment
in Georgia.-Georgia Telegraph

Messrs. RAY & Ross.
GENTLEMEN: | see in the last issue Of the Jour-
nal and Messenger, Of your city, an account Of
what purports TO be the proceedings of Com
promise meeting in Pulaski, I" held on the 4tb in
slant, in which it stated that addresses were
made by Mr.. Donney, and myself, and lastly,
by Mr.. H. Beers, who concluded his address by
offering the following resolutions, which were
adopted by large majority.
Resotred LIST. That we will favor the passage by
COM ress Of the report of the Committee of Thir

MONDAY. JULY 90. 1850
The New Cabinet.

| Iu0 NEW SdOlucI.
i The following nominations were made by the
President, and confirmed by the Senate on Sat
urday:
ID. WEBSTER, Mass Secretary of State.
Il. CoRwIN, (Ohio,) Secretary of the Treasury
J. A. PEARcE, (Md.0 Secretary of the Interior
w. A. GRAHAM, On. CD Sec'ry. of the Navy.
E. BATES, (Mo.,) Secretary of War.
| N. X. HALL, IN. Y.0 Postmaster General.
J. J. CRrrTENDEN, (Ky.) Attorney General.
The new Cabinet is strong in talent. Nc
body questions Mr.. Webster's ability. Mr.
Corwin is man of brilliant genius, an eloquent
speaker and though not yet tried in administra.
tive functions has nothing to do to succeed, but
to try Mr.. Pearce is cool, clear, close and
cogent reasoner, and man of research. Mr.
Crittenden is captivating, persuasive and effec-
tive lawyer, and skilful politician.
We are surprised however at the local and
sectional character of the Cabinet. Not single
member comes from cotton planting or large
slaveholding State--although the most impor-
tant questions now pending, affect that class Of
States more deeply and vitality than all others
There are four members from slaveholding
States, Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and
Mlssouri-States of the smallest slave popula-
ton, and supposed to have the greatest affinity
for the North. The slaveholdng States left
pilhoM a single Representative IN the Cabinet,
are in population, wealth, production and COM
merce, at least twice us great as those who have
four members allotted to them. The three
Northern States which are represented are ultra
sectional in Massachusetts, New York
and Ohio. The four Southern members are of
high Northern Wing politics.
We are aware of the difficulties, personal, Sec
tional, and party, in forming Cabinet. But we
think there has been an error here, unless it is
intended to give us magnanimous display of
anti-sectionalsm in the settlement of pending
questions on fair principles by those not hereto
fore ranked among the liberal.

Ratification Meeting.

In accordance with a notice which had been
given in all the papers of the city, says the Mont
gomery, (Ala.D Advertiser and Gazette large
and intelligent meeting of the citizens of the
county and city of Montgomery assembled at
the Courthouse, to ratify and approve the action
of the Nashville Convention. Mr. Thomas L.
Brothers moved that Col. THOMAS M. WILL
LIAMS and JOHN A. ELMORE, esqrs, be re-
quested to preside over the meeting, which was
unanimously agreed to; and these gentlemen
FIELDER and JEFFERSON NOBLE were appointed
Secretaries.

Watts, esqr., Judge Mays, Judge Bib, Hon. w.
L. Yancey, Mr.. Semple, Mr.. Noble, Mr.. Martin,
Mr.. Gilmore, Mr.. Belser and Col Siebes, all
took part in the proceedings. Hon. W. L. YAM
cey and William B. Meass, esqrs. were appoint
ed additional delegates to the next session of
the Nashville Convention.
The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted:
1. Resolred, That we fully ard unequivocal-
ly endorse and affirm the resolutions and address
of the Nashville Convention.
2. Resolred, That the act of Congress provid-
ing for the annexation of Texas and the accept
ance by Texas of the terms proposed, gave to
Texas as against the United States, the bounda-
ries prescribed by the Texas constitution. That
the United States but reserved the right to
settle that boundary line with Mexico, and
Mexico having by treaty with the United States
Welded that boundary, the benefit innures to
Texas.
g. Resolred, That the establishment of mil
itary government within the limits of Texas is
unauthorized by the Constitution and in deroga-
ton of the sovereignty of that State.
A. Resoired, That should Texas attempt to
exercise her rghtful jurisdiction within the terri
tory prescribed by her constitution, any opposi-
ton thereto by the military of the United States
would be an act of military usurpation, which
should be resisted as such by every Southern
State
8. RESOLVED, That justice to the South is a
necessary preliminary to perpetuity to the Union,
and that we do not hesitate between them to
choose justice to the South,

awe republish this morning from the Cincin.
natl Enquirer most striking petition, signed by
numerous citizens of Hamilton county, Ohio,
recently presented to the Constitutional Conyen-
ton in that State.
The object OF this petition, as expressed on
the face OF it, is to urge the speedy removal of
all persons Of negro, on part negro blood, from
the Stateof Ohio. When it is recolected that Ohio
is par excellence Free Soil State, and has long
been regarded as city of refuge for fugitive
slaves-when the language of her Legislatures,
and the avowals of her newspapers are taken
into cOnsderation--thc force of such an appeal
from such a source must be doubly felt and the
facts and arguments adduced, carry weight
with them, to which no intrinsic evidence could
add"
We presume an equal number of names could
be obtained to petition in Hamilton county in
favor of hanging all the disunionists of the
Southern Press stripe. And equally forcible
arguments could be adduced in favor of such a
process. What inference would the Press draw
from such petition Albany Evening Jour-
We would draw the inference that they were
ultra philanthropists Of the Evening Journal
school, who wanted to steal that territory for
which they had not the courage to fight-and
we should draw the further inference that al
though they might be the first to conceive the
plan OF accomplishing their humane and beneyo-
lent designs by force, they would be the last to
attempt its execution in person.

Thus it will be seen that on this occasion the
South cast four more votes for Sc. 80 than be-
fore. ..... .. '..
Some of our Southern friends were displeas-
cd with us for saying that in the previous
vote several Southern Senators went against the
proposition of &c. 80 as then made, because it
was unsatisfactory, and the Charleston Mercury
asked us who they were. We delayed a reply
until we could give it as we now do, in an au-
thentic form. ...
The national--the anti-sectional North, has
again voted unanimously against this reasonable
propostion-and voted without distinction OF
party.
1t is curious that Senator Kings proposition
for the line of $500, received smaller vote thar
that for $3.50, being 90 to 81.
Besides Messrs. Clay and Benton, the only
Southern Senators who voted against $500, were

happy White Slave, never skulked out as openly
into the light Of day.
Free Soil indeed Where is the power in the
Mexican Law, or in the Law of God. 10 make
freemen out of slaves like these wretched Poems,
who are to be thrown into the scale by the Free
Sellers as make weight to bear it down aoainst
the South! And how dare they sanction this
conversion into slaves of men declared nv that
Constitution to be born free.
A fit finale indeed for Abolitionists 10 com.
mence their crusade for the purpose of enamel
paflng slaves, and to terminate it by giving their
solemn sanction to the act that converts freemen
into slaves!
And why has this bitter pill been forced down
the throat OF the Free Soilers Why have they
permitted this article to be Incorporated into the
Constitution Because it was their last shift
because they feared that unless speedy stems
were taken to place that portion of Texas under
the broad shield of the Federal Government
that Texas would enforce her claims, and their
Vaccinations be frustrated
They know well that it would be as safe 10
seek to wrest his food from hungry lion. as to
tamper with Texas when her action had been
taken--and the effort therefore was either to bar
her title, or cause a collision with the General
Government. But a majority of the people in that
part ofthe territory of Santa Fe are Mexican not
American certainly those who framed this Con-
stitution-for among the names appended to it
only those of the President, one Secretary, and
five delegates are American; those of the rest
are Spanish and unpronouncable by native lips.
The Convention was thus somewhat in the
nature Of Jury "De nsedietate hngua," a mix
ed Jury, who of course made up their verdict
accordingly: and Peonage being the chief and in
fact often the only source of wealth among these
Mexican land owners this provision was insert
ed, with such an introduction and in terms SO
ambiguous as to escape any any but close
scrutiny.
To push the farce evenfurther, this very Con-
vention, after thus solemnly STIMULATING for the
of this system of domestic White
slavery, IN an address TO the Peple of Now

consideration, 1--WE hope in the Spanish language

the following words the 1--WE" so unanimous"
on the subject being the mixed Jury referred to.
Slavery in New Mexico is naturally imprac-
ticable, and can never, in reality, exist here;
wherever it has existed it has proved a curse and
a blight to the State upon which it has been in
fiicted-a moral, social, and political evil The
only manner in which this question now affects
us is politically; and on the grounds of this cha
racter, with its general evil tendencies, zoe have
unanimously agreed to reject tiff forever"

tant, and inalienable rights, amongst which are
the enjoying and defending of life and liberty,
the requirement, possession, and protection of

only difference between them being that of for

Gentlemen Il received on the 18th inst, your
invitation to attend a Mass Meeting of the Re-
publican Electors of Herkimer county, which is
proposed to be held on the 18th inst, " for the
purpose of declaring their opinions in respect
to the measures now depending before Congress
relating to the Slavery question, and for trans
acting such business as may be deemed proper"
Before its receipt / had made other engage
ments, which put it out of my power to be with
you on the 18th, and ] shall thus lose the graft
ficaton which might otherwise anticipate from
meeting the electors of Herkimer, whose intel
ligence and independence know so well, and
drawing fresh hope and confidence from the adj
dresses with which you are to be favored on the
occasion.
The rapid development of the Anti-Slavery
sentiments of the country within the last two
years, is one of the most striking occurrences
in our political history. 1t may be ascrbed,
principally, to the emancipation of the Slavery
question from the thraldom of party and it is
a fortunate circumstance that this emancipation
has been effected by portion of the Slayehold-
els themselves. They hare, for gears, mithheld
their support, politically from all public men pho
ioere not deroted to Me erfenSion of Slarery.
They openly proclaimed, two years SINCE that
they would, under no political necessity what
ever, support for the Presidency or Vice Presi-
dency Of the Udited States, any man who would
not assent to the extension of Slavery to New
Mexico and California Seeding from the
Wing party at Washington, they defeat Mr..
Winthrop; seeding from the Democratic party
they defeat Mr.. Forney. They regard as pre-
posterous the effort to elect with their aid, an
avowed Anti-Slayery man to any office, and
openly declare that they will not obey the law,
remain IN the Union, or even preserve order in
the U. ). Senate End House OF Representatives
if the extension of Human Slavery to Free Soil
is arrested by law.
Public men who have gone great lengths to
serve the Shareholders, find themselves falling
