DR.. GwIN.-The Washington cores
pondent Of the Journal of Commerce, al
Iuding to the arrival of DR.. !Gwin, the new
California Senator at Washington; says:
DR.. Gwin is man of much tact as well
as energy, and is TO exert a decided in
auence on the great subject before Con-
gress. When he left the House of Rep
resentatives few years ago. he says, all
his Southern colleagues were in favor of
the policy of non.intervention as to sla-
very in territories; but now he found
them of a different opinion; but he him
self had not changed his views. The
people of California had acted upon the
supposition that they would be permitted
TO regulate their own affairs, without die
tation from Congress. He aud his COL
leagues say, that if line were drawn
by the parallel OF 36 80, there would be
no slavery South Of shat line, any more
than North Of it, Their views and sen.
timents are decidedly rational OH this
subject.
DR.. Gwin is correct on this sub;ect
and Mr.. Calhoun, even as late as 1S47.
avowed the same principle in a resolution
he introduced In the Senate.

"Mr. Winthrop was remarkably success
ful in his vindication of himself from the
reproaches and ISLANDERS of men on all
sides of the House, as regarded himself.
He spoke to-day as he is to leave the city
for fortnight. His philippe against his
free soil opponents was SO severe and eIo-
quent that it elected several rounds of ap-
pause from the floor. If he could have
made the speech before the session. 1 be-

The SOUTHERN CoNvENTIoN.-Th
New York Express says:

New Ork Express says
An anecdote is current in the political
circles. which is OF some importance, as
exhibiting feeling of a portion of the
South on the subject which has excited
SO much interest anC apprehension. 1t
is stated that Gen. Armstrong, late U.
Consul at Liverpool, now at his home in
Nashville, and to whom Gen. Jackson
hequeathed tho e~ord which he wore at
the hattle Of New Orleans. recently de.
clared, III conversing upon the proposed
Southern Convention, if that body should
adopt measures contemplating dissolu-
ton of the Union, he would unsheath the
sword and rally the people of Tennessee
to expel it, as entertaining reasonable
designs. Gen. Armstrong has long occu-
pied high position in the Democratic
party of the South, enjoyed the confidence
of Gen. Jackson and all his political sue
cessors down to Mr.. Polk, who conferred
upon him the best office in his gift.
We see by the Nashville papers that
there is much opposition to allowing the
State House there to he "desecrated." as
it is called, by allowing the use of it for
the meeting of the Convention, and so
strong is the feeling against the plan of
a Convention, that we believe not only
will the use of the State House be refused
but the Convention, if they attempt to
pass any ultra resolutions, or hint at
measures for dissolving the Union, will
very probably find Gen. Armstrong's
threat carried into execution, and they
will be expelled from the city.

A "Southern Planter" writing from
Liverpool, gives the following advice to
his friends at home:
"Great hopes and expectations are al
ready entertained in England that the
present high prices.as they here call them.
will stimulate planters to such degree
that liext year they will have full supply
and low rates; TO avoid which, two
things only are necessary to be observed
on your part; plant less, and not break
your necks in getting it to market. Where
you planted one hundred acres last year,
plant only eighty or ninety this, and you
will not only get more money for what
you make than for full crop, but et-
counter less labor, incur less expense,
and at the same time be able to raise
more corn, which makes fat hogs, horses
and cattle. and plenty of them. Why
work yourselves and your negroes to
death, in order to crafty Manchester and
supply her with cotton at six cents per
pound, when you may live in plenty and
at your ease and get 10 to IS cents. This
is no fiction; all experience proves it
Providence has kindly interposed to help
you out of one difficulty arising from over
production; don't get into another, or. in
other words, lend your adversaries stick
to break your own heads"

adoption 'of which was effected by the

effects to the borders of the home of

Resolved further, That the pathetic
people of the State of Tennessee, depre-
eating the sad effects of a disunion of these
States to themselves, to their childEen,
and to the world, and also feeling sa-
cred regard to the memory and services
of their revolutionary fathers. will stand
by and defend the Union cat all hazards

Resolved, That the only method in
which the Union can he pieservedin its
purity is to resist, at all hazards and to

MEETING AT New YORK CIrY-The
great union meeting of the New York
city Democrats at Tammany Hall on the
10th, called to oppose the Wilmot poviso,
was scene of turmoil, discord AMI con-
fusion. The Barnburners, as it lpears
by published card, got possession Df the
great hall by a private entrance pefore
the hour of meeting. and succeeded in
filing the stands with their own friends.
and III making, at the opening d the
meeting, their own chairman. Agreat
disturbance followed, in which the Barn.
burners or Van Buren, men must have
got the better, for they succeeded i. get
ting their own resolutions before the
crowd, and decided to be adopted, while
their adversaries retired, and iss,ed
manifesto in which thy complained cf the
treatment they had received.
But the triumphant Van Burenite did
not use their victory with much in
tolerance. They passed strong resolu-
tions in favor of the Union, denouncing
as traitors, North or South, wiDever
should speculate on its dissolution.
They did not, however, proceed to de-
clare the restrictions upon slavery by the
proviso or other will an indispensable
article of their faith; but while proclaim
ing their own opposition of the exclusion
Of slavery, resolved that "they do not re-
gard the slavery question in any form of
,fs operation, any opinion in rela-
ton thereto, as test of political faith or
a rule of party action
Here is a sensible relaxation of the rigid
determination of the Barnburners, by
whom this slavery resolution has been
treated as the corner stone of :heir politi-
cal edifice.
The other side are not satisfied with
this, and are making preparations for
large meeting to declare for the Union,
upon the more distinct principle of giving
up the agitation of the slavery question
entirely, and suppressing the whole series
of attacks Oh the South.-N. o. Pic. 26th.

rHE UNION Musr BE PREsEnvEp.-we

The UNION MUsr BE PREsERvED.-We
publish in another column despatch from
Washington to the New Orleans Plea
yune, indicating pretty plainly the course
President Taylor intends to pursue should
all attempt be made by any of the States
to recede from the Union The ideathat
State at any time has the right. and
might Of her own choice 90 out OF the
Union is extremely fallaclous. A State
having entered into the compact has not
the power to recede. and should she at
tempt it, the power and authority of all
the other States would be brought into
requisition to frustrate such design
Such was the case with South Csfolina
during the nulliication excitement III o2,
when General jackson proclaimed that
the power and authority of the United
States would be maintained to the last
extremity. and any attempt to violate or
destroy the compact would he put down
by the strong arm of the Union. These
are the views of President Taylor. The
Union he says must be sustained, and all
the power and authority vested in him by
the constitution will, if necessary, be used
to that end
The threat THAT some of the Southern
members will withdraw from Congress,
we are of the opinion, will not be carried
into execution, and even if it was, the
people, the masses who next to their G cd
love their country, would soon supply
their places with more efficient Legislators,
and consign those agitating factionists,
whose course in Congress indicate de-
sire to destroy the Union, to merited OBJ
livion.
The people of the North are holding
meetings in every quarter, and evince a
desire to settle forever the questions
which now divide and distract us. Even
the Barnburners Of New York, the corner
stone of whose political organization
was the slavery question. are relaxin
their temerity; and others, who 60 still
further, are disposed to give up altogether
the agitation of this question. Some oi
the Southern States too, have passed en-
lightened and patriotic resolutions, deciar-
ing their opposition to dissolution o.
the Union, and pledging themselves to sus'
tain and defend it against any aggressor
With this state Of feeling in the public
mind, factionists and fanatics may rant
and rave, but the good. the wise and the
patriotic will unite. in the defence of the
compromises of the Constitution. and the
Union will remain firm and unshakeu,
and its course, like the proud emblem OF
our nationality, will continue onward and
upward.
