Union Meetings.

Meetings of citizens have been held in New York,
st. Louis, Nashville, and other places, at which
speeches have been made and resolutions adopted
in favor Of the Union and the Compromise bill now
before the United States Senate II seems to he eI-
pccted in some quarters that New Orleans will fol-
low the lead of these cities-that we shall get up
here grand Union meeting, make eloquent
speeches. and adopt string of resolutions brim- full
of patriotism an love of country.
Such expectations will not be realized. The peo-
pie Of New Orleans are practical and sensible PEG
pe liable to be carried off by theories and specula-
lions in politics any thing else. They are in no
degree excited on the subjects which keep every
thing in state of ferment at Washington city and
at other points in the country. They know the
value of the American Union, and never had less
apprehensions of danger 10 its existence than now
Ii ia here well understood that most of the clamor
in regard to the subject Of slayerythe bone Of con
tention between the North and Southhas its origin
in spirit of partyism more than Of patriotism
adopted, most probably, by demagogucs and mere
partisan politicians, as a means for attaining their
selfish ends. The intelligent citizens of New Or

Again, we say, the people of Louisiana do not think
the Union in danger; they have not the slightest
approximations on this subject. Why, then, hold
meetings and adopt resolutions which would indi-

yet come for this. When the Union shall really be

The southern papers are still specializing upon
the prospects of the cotton crop. The accounts
generally discouraging. The Mobile Tribune
says that the prospects for any thing like fair
crop worse, in the opinion Of many planters,
than ever known in that section. The Tallahassee
Sentinel, speaking of Florida, says that the crop
cannot, under the most favorable circumstances,
exceed that of last year. The editor Of the Column
bus (Georgia) Times, has made an exploration,
himself TO the distance Of ITO miles; and, the
suit of his personal observation, he comes To the
conclusion that the prospect Of the cotton crop Is
exceedingly discouraging. In his ride OF 10 miles,

bloom under three four weeks from that time

the cotton worth cultivating, and a few have

POPULATION OF New MEXICO. The Hon. Hugh
N. Smith, in a recent letter to the National hteili
gencer gives the following account of the number
and composition of the inhabitants of New Mexico:
WAsHINToN, June %, 1850.
Editors Of the National Irfeiligencer:
GENrLEmEN: | desire to correct the mistakes
which some honorable gentlemen have made in re-
gard to the number and character Of the inhabitants
Of New Mexico. The number has been variously
stated in the Congressional debates at from ten to
sevcnty thousand; and generally one half, and
sometimes all OF them are said to be indians. This
is great error we have a population OF at least
ninety thousand, of whom from ten to twelve thou
sand only are Pueblo Indians, and We do not esti-
mate in our population any other kind OF Indians
except the Pueblos. They are quiet, inotfensive,
honest, and industrious people; they own the best
farming lands in the territory, and engaged
entirely in agricultural pursuits, and paying
Indians, would be entitled to the privileges of citi
zens, and Of the elective franchise in Texas.
The census taken in New Mexico the year before
the entrance of General Kearny into that Terri
tory showed the population to be one hundred
thousand, and two or three hundred over. This
may not have been taken with great accuracy, but
the best informed persons, and those who have lived
there longest, agree with me that VIC have not less
than ninety thousand DIR. Wislizenus, who is
generally correct in his accounts of travel, and who
Is relied upon good authority, in his statistics OF
that country, is certainly mistaken in saying that
ten twentieths, one half of the population, are
Pueblo Indians. i have travelled through the set
tied parts Of that country two three times year
for the last three years, and know that not fifth.
or even one sixth, are Indians. In the same mar
rative of DIR. Wislizenus he says in another place,
speaking of those Pueblo Indians: "They live al.
ways isolated in their villages, cultivate the soil,
and raise some stock, and generally poor, fru-
gal, and sober. Their different tribes, of which
about twenty yet exist, are reduced to about ten
thousand souls"
There in New Mexico from twelve TO fifteen
hundred resident American voters, emigrants from
the different States, principally from the State of
Missouri the rest of the population are Mexicans
and Spaniards.
