A GOVERNOR SHOT,

The New-OrleaEs Picuyune Of The lst.,
has news from hictamoras, which states
that "a sergeant formerly belonging to the
command of Don Vital Fernandez, and who
was very much attached to him, presented
himself some time since to the guard in
charge of the residence Of the present Gov.
ernor of Tamaulipas, Don Jesus Curdenus,
and under pre,ence of presenting q letter
prevailed on them to admit him to IN inter,
view with the Governor. After entering
the chamber. he presented the pretended
letter, mud then. in full view Of the Cover.

and shot Cardenos in TWO places, one ball
entering the chest and the other the lower
part of the abdomen; he then made his es-
cape by another door. 1t is SAID that Car
dcnas was MORALLY wounded, although he
was still alive At last accounts"

THE DIGNITY OF LABOR,

ga peoples treasure is in useful labor;
there is no wealth, and can BE none. but
what it creates. Every good, great or small,
is purchased by it. Savages with bound.
less territories and fertile lands, are indi-
gent and often destitute because they work
not. A single days labor Of peasant or
a mocha mic. tends to relieve human wants,
and increase human comforts. 1t produces
that which is not to be had without it, and
to which tons Of glIttering ore can conirI-
butte nothing. In fine there is no wealth
but labor-no enjoyments but what are de-
rived from it,

THE WASHINGTON UNION AND MR.
CLAY,

We last week published most compli>
menary noti:e Of Mr.. Clay from the Charles.
ton Mercury. Below will be found para-
graph from the Washington Union in res
ponse. The Editor says:
"In conclusion, we would not do justice
to olr own feelings did we not applaud the
noble tribute which the Mercury pays The
eminent statesman of the West. Such tri.
butes are alike honorable to him who re-
ceivcs and to him who pays them. Mr. Clay
has won many laurels in past times, but
he has won none in his long and distinguish
ed career of which his friends should be
more proud than those which ara now wo.
ven around his brow, for the patriotic course
he has pursued during the present session.
They will grace his declining years, and be
fresh in the memory of the people long af'
ter all that is mortal OF the great orator
will have mingled with dust and ashes
We, of course, have no reference to any
ambitious aspirations which some of his
friends may have formed for him. 1t is moi
certain 'ha, Mr.. Clay would again aspire Il
the presidency, full Of ,horns as it always
is at any time of any mans life; but at hi,
time of life the honor is less to be coveted
while the burden of the responsibility j.
less easy to be borne. Far better for any
man to deserve the unenviabe distinction
than to win it, and far nober to be called
the friend Of his country than its Presi'
dent"
In giving the above, the Editor Of The Bal
timore Patriot very trulhfulIy and poin'edly
remarks:
"That such plain, veri,abe and nppro-
pria;o sentiments should be mbedded 10 In,
heart OF the editor of the Union is not sur
Surprising. but that he should have the fair
ness and frmness to publish them to tn
world, is really so unexpected that we cop,
them with great pleasure, as they no doub
speak the true, unequivocal sentiment U
that Journal"

THE COMPROMISE REpoRT.--In the Senate
Of the United States, on Thursday, Mr..
Clay moved to take up the bill. reported
yesterday by the select committee Ct ihlr-
teen, "to admit California as State into
the Union. to establish territorial govern.
menls for Utah and New Mexico, aud 'Hnk.
ing proposals to Texas for the establish
mcnt of her western and northern bounds
RES" with view to some fnal disposition
il. The motion prevailed, and the bill
was then read second time, and made the
special order OF the day for following day.

REPORT OF TIE COMPROMISE
COMMITTEE.

Mr.. Clay made the report from the Com

the Senate is said 20 have been listened to
very a,ieuliyels. 1t is also SAID that un.

manifested on the part OF some Southern
Senators. 1t has been very evident tor some
time that there are men IN the South, as
well as the North, who are quite ANXIOUS
the difficulty should net be COMPROMISED
The report states the views aud conclu'
sions of the majority Of the Committee:
ISL They recommend that California be
admitted as q State. and with her present
boundaries: but intimate that, at some III
,ure time, the State may be divided, 1t
found con vencnt and desirable.
Cd. They recommend that territorial gov
ernmenrs b. organizad for Utah and New
Mexico. without the establishment or IN.
b,bi,cn Of slavery. The Committee say
that these territories, when they become
States, will probably follow the example Of
California, and prohibit slavery.
Sd. They otter blank sum TO Texas Tor
q reduction Of her Western and Southern
boundary, and propose certain lIril's ac-
cordircly. They declare that Congress Is
bound, BY the articles OF annexation, 10
admit new States from Texas, with her
assent, wherher they be saveholdng OF
not, but that it is ineXpcdlen, for Congress
10 take the initiative IN proposing them.

THE GALPuIN CLAIM,

A Washington letter in the New Yor"
Courier says:
The Committee of Investigation in the
Galphin Claim are pursuing the most rig
ard searching system of inquiry. mot only
into the oilicial facts, but in regard to eve.
rything attending the passage of the Bill IN
Congress md its allowance before the En-
rcuive Departments. Sufficient evidence
has nrendy been elected to rXonora,e the
members of the Cabinet from improperly.
and to establish, beyond all question. that
tie whole story originated in a malicious
purpose Of personal resentment against mr.
Crawford, because he was stern IN entorc.
ing VIVA, he believed to be the rules and
rights of the military service. On tins
point the testimony between the occuser and
n number Of persons referred to, is in direc,
and positive conflict. Between the rcspcc-
i've statements there is no possibility Of re.
cancellation consistent with truth or honor.
The pubic will have to decide upon the
weight Of evidence. The examination yes
rerdav resulted in establishing the author

THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION.

We learn from the Knoxville papers
that meeting was recently held in that
place, TO appoint delegates to the great
Southern Convention. so called, which Is
to assemble at Nashville on the first OF
June. This meeting is represented TO have
been composed Of comparatively but few
persons. but succeeded in appointing a
goodly number Of deleeales-,he list EN-
bracIng, probably, the names Of more gem

ngs Of the meeting, and not more than
one or two of whom will attend the Con-
venlion. Every thing is said TO have gone

TO the fact that small de!beraiive bodies
are easily managed. Il is also SAID tina,
the meeting was held IN rather retired
place, remote from the noise and confusion
incident to more public demons'ration.-
Il there have been any other meetings held
on the subject in East Tennessee. we have
not heard OF them. But that will make
no sort Of difference, as the one or two
delegates who may attend from the Knox
vile concern will. IN view Of the clrcum.
stances under which they were appointed.
feel themselves fully authorized and COM
pe,tnt 10 speak for the whole Eastern Dir
vision OF the State.
The preamble and resolutions are lengthy,
aud we give a Short extract from the Tor
mer that tie reader may know that al
though the number present was small, yet
there was no lack of ability lc put things
in proper dress. The preamble commences:
"We have arrived at a period in the po
Iltical history Of our country, when the
tear of the patriot and the phanlhrops,
may well be excited, lest the noblest fab.
ric Of constitutional government on earth
may, ere long, be laid in ruins by the e!e-
meats o. dscoIl engendered by The TN
holy lust for power. and the fell spin, o.

and that beneath the ruins will be forever

the political regeneration OF enslayed mil

but reckon the above will do for the reader
at one sitting.
There was also meeting held al Nash.
vile for the same purpose, which turned
out perfect flash in the pan as regarded
any legitimate action in favor Of the Cons
ven,ion. In fact, all the attempts TO inter-
est the people of Tennessee in behalf Of
this movement have proved decided fail
ures. and we think by this time the arlta.
tors ought TO be ,-etly well satisfied that
any further efforts 10 enlist their feelings
or msrepresent The facts Of the case
will prove useless.

The causes which have so much retarded

their effect upon Columbus. But new
