Very Deaf indeed.

The reports of those hundred guns, and the
anoise and confusion" of the "Patriotic Rejoc-
ngs" here, must certainly have deafened our
neighbors of the National Iiteiligencer, for in
yesterdays paper they proclaim universal salts
faction" at the passage of the Adjustment, and
profess hardly to have heard "a whisper of dis
sent" to it "as whole" with very slight reser-
Walton.
This as: ertion strikes us as so very remarka-
ble--our own mails from the South breathing
anything rather than 'exultation," though our
Northern exchanges, many of them, do-that
we give the baeliigencer's own words:
aOur anticipations of the universal satisfaction
with which the late pcace-making acts of Con-
gress would be received by the people of the
United States generally, have been fully real
lied. Hardly whisper Of dissent to them, as
a whole, whatever exceptions may be taken 10
any one of the bills, or to particular features of
the entire series, is heard from any quarter but
from the camp Of the Disunionists, from de-
feated political Abolitionists-we do not, of
course include conscientious Frce-soilers in this
category--or from habitual macontents, and
grim grumblers at other peoples happiness.
We could Gil double sheet of eight and
forty Of our broad columns with extrscts full of
JOY and graduation from the Southern and Wes-
tern papers alone, on this subject Satisfied
The southern press. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1850-1852, 1850-09-17

with the result, however. we have better occu-
patton for our columns, at this moment than TO
I'LL them with exultatons Of our own or of any
body else's, on this occasion"
The Raleigh Register, a print which always
"says ditto to the Iaielligencer, chimes in on
this occasion, SO far shaving heard but one dis
senticnt voiec" -alIuding to this press.
In view Of the strong and bitter denunciation
of this whole scheme of Adjustment, which
forms the burden of many of the most nfucn-
tial Southern papers, now as heretofore; and the
guarded language with which those favorable to
il have generally announced its passage-not CON-
mending it as unexceptionable in itself, but as
"the best we can get'-such statements prove
the truth of the old adage, that there is no deaf
ness SO obstinate as that of people who pon't
hear. Such cases are beyond the skill Of .Dr.

This paper, which has strenuously opposed
the measures which have recently been adopted,
pending their passage, contained an editorial very
recently, congratuIating the country on their
contamination.
There was some growing over this change in
certain quarters, and it struck us as rather curl
GUS at the time, but it is satisfactorily accounted
for in the last number of that paper, BY the
statement of the absence Of the editor for the
last two weeks, during which time the paper
"has been under the control of the foreman,
aided by occasional suggestions from a friend
who promised to contribute now and then some
few Of his opn thoughts, by way of editorial"
Well may the regular editor of the Neios, on
his return, repeat with feryency the trte aspira-
ton of

Faith Of the compromisers.

= We omitted to notice the other day the course
of the Senate on receiving the memorial of New
Mexico for admission as a State. There was a
vote of 10 to 10 in favor of its regular reference
voting for the reference. But when Mr.. YULEE
called attention to that fact, as evidence of the
faith of those who had just before voted for a
territorial government for that region, as part
of compromise to heal the bleeding wounds
of distracted country, there was futter, and
the bill was laid on the table But the country
has lost faith In the Senate or in Congress

The Georgia Convention.

We append an editorial from the Federal
Union, published at the seat Of Government in
Georgia, which shows the circumstances under
which the act authorizing the call Of State
Convention was adopted, and the position Of
both parties therein at that time As to the quib
BILE that has been made and the dispute that has
arisen, as to the use of distinctive or copula-
tive conjunction in the original act, the State Of
Georgia never would attempt to creep through
such knothole as that, we'll knowing and hav-
ing tacitly acquiesced in the construction put
upon that act at the time of and subsequent to
its passage.
Whatever the men of Georgia do will be done
openly and boldly without reserve, equivocation
or concealment of any kind-her sons are as
frank as they are fearless, and when they meet
in council, we look for action worthy of the
present and future position which Georgia must
occupy among the Southern States.
THE STATE CONVENTION lay before our
readers to-day, the act Of the last Legislature Of
Georgia, directing the Governor to call Con-
vention, upon the passage by Congress of GER
tain measures designated in the act. We also
lay before them, the votes by which tina! act was
passed. BY these votes, eight only dissenting
in the Senate and twelve in the House, will be
seen the almost unexampled unanimity which
pervaded both branches Of the General Assem-
bly,. All Of those who voted in the negative, if
we mistake not, were the peculiar advocates of
the Missouri Compromise line, and it may be
inferred, that they voted as they did, because an
amendment to that effect had been rejected.
In the Senate, none who were present, can
forget the pointed and pertinent conversational
debate between Mr. Bailey and Mr.. A. J. Miller,
the leader Of the Wing party and the prominent
advocate in the Senate of the Missouri line
During the debate on the amendment the Mis-
souri, line, introduced by him, with more than
wonted zeal and energy, lie insisted upon IFS
adoption. Mr.. Bailey asked him, swill you re-
sst any encroachments upon it g The answer
was 81 will" "Will you make it your fighting
line 81 The answer again was a will"
In the House, Mr. Jenkins, the leader of the
Wing party in that branch of the Assembly and
of those who then and there planted themselves
on the Missouri line, with equal boldness and
decision, insisted that that should constitute the
line beyond which the South should not and
would not recede. BY common consent, the
majority and those who sustained them, for the
sake of union, have yielded their own views and
assumed the position indicated by Messrs. Miller
and Jenkins, and occupied by the minority. II
the latter were sincere then, and will adhere to
their own declarations, all parties may now
harrncnize. They cannot object, with any con-
sistency to the Convention, for it is now under
stood that it will do nothing, unless Congress
shall make its aggressions South Of $3.50, their
own fighting line" az

To he Editors ei The Southern Press:

s*Ts, VIRGINIA, September 9, 1850.
SrR I am one of those opposed 10 the scheme,
and every ilament Of the web which has been
woven by the true Abolitionlsts Of the North,
and their sckly allies Of the South, to enslave the
Southern States. | am not alarmed, but encour-
aged in my devotion to the true Liberties of the
people; the rights of the States, and people of the
South by the trnitorous sentiments uttered against
them in the great struggle between the Northern
and Southern sections OF the Union, which has
now seen the beginning of its end. Aggression
upon aggression, insult and contumely have been
heaped by the Northern people upon those ofth
South, until patience and forbearance have lost
their title TO virtue, and now are crimes.
q The struggle in regard to Texas is thought TO
be settled, but am authorized TO doubt it upon
the following extract of letter post-marked
(" Austin. Texas, 3lst August" " To accept or
reject Il erercise Of Sovereignty. Such pocsr Is
not confded to the legislature; the people therefore

From the Ns,o Orleans Picayune.
Letter from Texas.

AUSTIN, TEXAS, August 81, 1850.
Eds. Pic.-The joint committee of both Houses
of the legislature Of this State, to whom were
ferred the message of the Executive, made re-
port yesterday, authorizing the Governor to call
for volunteers to proceed to Santa Fe for the pur-
| pose OF suppressing insurrection and enforcing
legal jurisdiction over her territory. Abil for the
organization, subsistence and pay Of troops is
now under consideration, and will be made the
order of the day until passed. There is great
deal Of excitement here upon the subject, and
much debate will ensue; it is, however, generally
conceded that the bill will pass, with an amend
ment or resolution to receive any proposition
which may be made by Congress for the purchase
Of the territory, and to submit such proposition to
the people Of the State. This is all that will be
done by legislation, Indeed all that can be done,
inasmuch as there is majority in the Legislature
opposed to resort to force, except in the last ex-
tremity. This course Is deemed indispensable by
many who do not believe that the Legislature pos
sesses the constitutional power TO dispose of any
portion Of the territory. The whole matter will
be placed in the hands of the Executive, and he
will submit the proposition of Congress to the
people for their rejection adoption; therefore,
on their action will depend the important question
of peace or war.
The Southern and Western portion Of the State
are opposed to a saleof the territory, and greatly
dread the encroachments OF Free-soiers upon
their borders. The Mexican population in the
valley Of the Rio Grande are strong Abolitionists,
and the same facilities are afforded to fugitive
slaves 10 make their escape exists any por-
ton OF the Ohio river. The valley beyond the
Nueces is fast filling up with population opposed
to slavery, and the day is not distant when they
will become numerically strong enough to carry
longitudinal division of the State, making the
Western division Free-so State.
The Hon. Thomas ] Rusk is returned tn the
Senate OF the United States for six years after the
9TH OF March next; his course upon the Texas
question is endorsed by the legislature, and will
be approved by the people.
We have rumors here that the Government of
the United States are sending out reinforcements
to Santa Fe, and that General Scott is to head the
army which may be sent thither to drive back the
gallant Texans from the possession of their coun-
try. We trust that this may not be so. Texas
can never be deemed an aggressor under any as
pect Of the case and woe to that melancholy day
when the strong arm of the National Government
shall be lifted up to wrongfully Cypress her.

The Senate resumed the consideration OF tbs

quent Indian wars, and Of the war of 1912, AMI
also to the officers of the Mexican war; not here

Mr.. SHIELDS appealed earnestly for action
upon the bill, and hoped the Senate would agree
to pass il or reject It without further postpone
ments.
The motion of Mr.. MANGUM was lost 90

The amendment of Mr.. MASON, and amerd-
men: by Mr.. YUIEE, to add the Navy list to the
bill, were debated for several hours by Messrs.
SHlEIps, HUNTER, UNDERwooD, CAss, SEWARD,
EwMG, WALKER, YuLEE, BRIcnr, JEFFERSON
DAVIS, BADGER, HALE.
In this debate, Mr. YuLEE, Mr. BADGER, and
MIR. HALE, ably indicated the claims of the sal
Tors to this proposed bounty. Mr.. HALE observ-
ing that the bounty to poor Jack has heretofore
been the cato 'ninetails for breakfast, dinner, and
supper. tt8ase
Mr.. DAWSON eloquently indicated the sail
ors' claims, and the opposition to giving the boun
ties to poor Jack, looked if it rested upon the
fact that the sailor had vote at the elections,
while the soldier had a vote; and the same suspi-
cion would apply to the exclusion OF the widows
and orphans of soldiers who had died---the dead
soldier had no vote. He hoped that equal justice
would be done to soldiers, widows and orphans.
Mr.. SHIELDS replied in defence Of the bill
Other measures could be introduced for the sailors
and marines; but he did not wish this bill to be
endangered by amendments. 4t
Mr.. YULEE contended that the only chance for
the sailor was to put his bounty into this bill.
Mr.. CASS was opposed to OVERLAPPING this bill
with amendments, though in favor Of the principle
of the amendments. 9
