The Democratic General COMMITTEE of Tam
many Hall, New York, have imitated the Wing
General Committee of that city, in ORDERING a
salute Of one hundred guns to be fired in honor
Of the recent acts of Congress.
We have not heard Of any guns in honor of
these events fired in the South No knot of
submissionists there, have yet dared to insult
the feelings of the South by celebrating North
ern victory over Southern rights and honor.
The editor of the Union, who is on an anx-
ious look out for signs of Southern rejoicing TO
countenance his late course, makes the following
report in last Saturdays paper

Union has been contending for seven months
that the scheme was good, was fair, was accept

that it was all untrue. a nj

~ We intended to present to-day ouI
views of the position and policy of the South
re sulting from the recent acts Of Congress; but
we are crowded out by the numerous NANTES
tations of her sentiment we have received, and
for many of which we could not find room, and
which we prefer to give instead Of our own
But we shall reserve space tomorrow
We commend the extracts we make from
Southern papers to those who have INDUCED
the illusion that the question is settled.

ADMISSION OF CALFoRNIA.-As this measure
Of wrong will probably be consummated, and as
the question of what the Governor will do, in
reference to calling convention, is of exciting
interest--we copy the following article from the
Federal Union, which throws light upon that
subject. We concur with the sentiments CON
tained init. 1t is firm but discreet The friends
of the convention should take the ground that
the 3naode and measure of redress" should be
left solely with that body, and rally upon true,
firm and reliable men, What we think about
the admission Of California will be seen in our
article headed the Resolutions of Taliafcrro

The ADMISSION OF CALFoNIA--Our des-
patches on Monday night gave us the intelligence
that this act of fraud has been passed by the
House. Being amended by, the addition of the
territorial bill for Utah. it will of course be re-
turned to the Senate; but the large majorities by
which both measures passed that body, leave
no doubt but they will also receive its sanction
in their present form. We can say nothing in
addition to what we have said again and again
upon this subject Mr.. Calhoun bequeathed
this as test question to the South; and it will
be seen in the sequel that he was right
We have labored faithfully to preserve the in
tegrity of the Union; We have entreated, warned
and implore the North to desist in this work
of aggression; but the passage of this bill indi.
Gates too plainly that tie consummation of their
schemes is the point at which they will STOP and
not until that point has been reached What
next lis now theinquiry on every tongue, but who
can answer it A day or two more will bring
us the full details of this act of gross injustice,
when possibly we may be able to see little
farther ahead. AT present we can give no light
from which to see in what manner the decd was
done.
From the Legislative resolution, which we pub
fish in another column, the responsibility of
action is thrown upon the Executive and the
Legislature. When that body assemblies twill
be for it to point out the mode Every step,
we are convinced, will be taken calmly and de-
liberately, and with all the soberness of purpose
WHICH the gravity and Importance of the subject
demand
We are thrown upon a crisis which involves
the most momentous consequences to the future
wel-oeng of the Southern States We are not
disposed to doubt the result. True to the Con-
stitution and the Union, they have clung to both
with an earnestness of spirit worthy of the sons
of those who sealed the compact; and it is only
when the one has been trampled on that they
are disposed to give up the other, as having lost
its original power to protect and preserve their
rights and equality.

whole South, in this eventful crisis of her history
are nteTtly fixed upon Georgia All the other

but none of them have yet indicated either upon
what overt act resistance shall begin, or the
manner in which it shall be prosecuted Georgia
has done both Her last Legislature, with n
patriotism worthy of all praise and in manner
which becomes her, as the largest cotton grow
ing and the empire State of the South, has dis
tinctly declared that upon certain contingencies,
action on her part must commence Those con-
tingencies are the following:
!. The passage of any law by Congress pro.
hibiting slavery in any of the territories.

in the District of Columbia
B. The passage of any law prohibiting the
slave trade between the slave States.

At a regular meeting of Hamilton Divis-
ion, No. "a, Sons of Temperance, held the
26th inst, the following Preamble and Res
~olutions were offered by Bro. T. E. Hardy,
and unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased an all-wise Prov
idenee, the Great Disposer of human events,
to remove from among us in the midst Of his
usefulness and prime of life, our esteemed
and wellbeloved brother, James s Britt,
who was a member and held the Office Of
Conductor of this Division. Feeling the
sad bereavement which has befallen US by
this sudden dispensation, we make the an
nouncement with painful emotions; and while
we bow in humble submission to the will Of
an all-wise God, we are led by humanity and
brotherly love to yield to the impulses Of
Nature in giving full expression to our feel
ings which man must harbOr, when those
for whom he has entertained the most ex.
allied opinions, cease to be no more. There
fore,
ResokUed, 1st., That this Division has
heard with heartfelt sorrow, that bro. james
S. Britt hath departed this life: And whilt
we sincerely lament with his bereaved anc
afflicted family, we are cheered by the con
soling reflection that he has found an abiding
place in the bosom Of the great Patriarcl
above, where sorrow is never known, an
where peace, love and harmony shall reig1
forever"
|. End. That while we tender to the bereav
f ed family of our deceased brother, our con
t dolence and our sympathy, We sympathiz
with all who feel an interest in their prosperity
\ and that we too, claim the melancholy priv
elege Of mourning with them, and comminG
Cling our tears with theirs, for the loss of s
useful and beloved a brother.

respect and esteem for our worthy and d
parted brother, we wear the usual badge {
mourning 80 days.

For presenting to the view,

And opine you viii be true,
To render to a sincere heart
The attention from you due.
Twas Mary taught my infant lips
In solitude to utter,
The name of Him who lived for me,
And in my stead did suffer.
And Mary near the cross delayed,
That in Him she might perceive
The wonders of redeeming love,
Which constrained her to believe.
Then at the early dawn of day
Loving Mary did arise,
That she might quickly haste away
To seek the heavenly prize.
Temperance, Virtue and Truth united,
Excellently grace the mind;
And with much beauty, these in you
Are seen nicely to combine.
In gentleness and suayity
Of manners, you may delight;
Since there, when rightly exercised,
Are of aconquering might.

President FILLMORE AND THE Fuel
T1TE SLAVE LAw.-The following incident
is told in a letter from the Washington cor
respondent of Tuesdays Richmond Enqui-
rer -
"a distinguished gentlemen from the
West-an ex-Senator-called on Mr. Fill
more ; and, after exchanging the usual cour
%tesies, was asked by the President how the
fugitive slave bill was received in the West.
The reply was, that the law, although un'
popular in his State, would doubtless be en-
forced. The remark was playfully made
that, as the President was sworn to { pre-
serve, protect, and defend the constitution
and laws he (the ex-Senator) presumed
Mr.. Fillmore would execute this h0. Tt
the very letter, sir, was the instant reply o.
the President-'to the very letter, sir,
whatever may be the consequences Th'
reply was worthy the palmiest days of Ok
Hickory himself"
The Washington Union relates anothe
incident, in which it is stated that the Presi
dent declared that he was determined to ex
ecute faithfully the fugitive slave law, an
would appoint no men to office, who Nigh
be called upon to assist in the administrator
Of that law, and would not zealously cooper
ate in its execution.
On another occasion, we understand, fror
good authority, that the President declare
that the law should be executed at ever
hazard-even at the risk of blood.
