TENNESSEE RESOLUTIONS.

IN CONVENTION, NOV Id, lou.
Gen. Pillow, of Tennessee, offered the follow.
ing preamble and resolutions, which were read and
referred:
Whereas, since the adjournment Of this conven-
ton in June last, bills have been passed into laws
by the Congress OF the United States for the adj
mission of California into the Union as State,
for the settlement and adjustment of the bounda-
ries of Texas, and for organizing Territorial
Governments for Utah and New Mexico; also
bills at oshing the slave trade in the District of
Columbia, and for the recovery of fugitives from
labor: with the view Of making known our opn-
ions on these bills and the steps to be taken by
the South upon them: Therefore,
!. Resolved, That although said bills fall short
OF that measure Of justice to which the South in
our opinion are fairly entitled, yet as the same
have become the laws of the land, aud for the pur-
pose Of giving the highest proof of our attachment
and devotion to the Union, this convention hereby
declares its willingness to abide by them with that
fidelity which has distinguished the South on all
former occasions.
2. Resolved, That this determination to abide by
the late legislation of Congress aforesaid, is predi-
Gated on the express condition that the North
shall faithfully carry it on her part according
TO the spirit and true meaning Of the same.
3. ReSotped, That this convention does distinct
ly understand that according to the spirit and true
meaning of said Legislation, it embraces all the
action which the North proposes to take IN rela-
ton to slavery, and that in addition 10 the subjects
expressly provided for in said bills, no attempt
will hereafter be made by the Northern people TO
deprive the South Of the representation secured to
her in the Constitution, TO abolish directly or
indirectly slavery in the District Of Columbia or

| We learn from various reliable sources that
very large emigration from the Southern
States, is on the way to Texas. Persons who
have arrived by the overland routes report that
they passed in the neghborhood Of Red River
as many as one thousand wagons. The recent
influx through Galveston and La Vaca, has also
been very considerable. But few who visit our
State, return without having made up their
minds to settle permanently among u.s. This is
not strange, as there is herhaps no other State
in the Union where the same inducements are
to be found-ricA and cheap lands, and de-
lightful and salubrious climate. We have al
ways believed that the tardy increase in the pop
ulat.on Of Texas was owing more to a want of
a proper appreciation of the value and character
of our lands and climate, than to all other causes
combined. In proportion as they become better
known, our population, as we now see, must in
crease, and 20 on increasing until our vast agri-
cultural domain, now for the most part lying
idle, shall be converted into prolific fields ofcot
ton, sugar and grain. To this result we are
happy to believe, we are now rapidly tending.
There is room for all who may come-but those
who come first will have the best chance of
making favorable and desirable selections and
securing them at prices far below what they
might have 10 pay year or two later. We
would therefore say to all who are looking to
Texas for future home, that the sooner they
carry ont their intentions the better for them
in many points of view.-Ieras STATE Ga.ete.

Webster in Massachusetts,, or in any other New
England State, two to one Neither he nor
Clay can get as large Northern vote IN Con-
vention on the first ballot MS can. No man in
Tayor's Cabinet stands any change. The Gal-
phin cry would be as fatal to them in conven.
ton as before the people, Scott gives me no
trouble, for In the first place Clayton is nursing
him, and that will do him no good, and in the
next place, as soon as he begins to get in the
way, | can get him to write n foolish letter
which would PROSTATE ten times as great n hero
as he ever professed to be. There is no way
to do anything with Scott without muzzling
him, and he is too vain to submit to that from
any man that has yet been born. 9.
None of those men who have been gambling
for the Presidency, during the last session of
Congress, can carry any three of the Northern
States, if they were nominated. | could not
either, perhaps, bnt that will depend upon the
action of the Democrats.

KEROSENE Casanova SCOTIA GOING A-HEAr
OF "OLD Misunderstanding along Holli:
street last evening, we were attracted, together
with crowd of our citizens, by an unusual
brillancy of gaslight in the stores of Messrs
Morton and Gossip, which, upon enquiry, We
learned was produced from asphalum, the dis.
covery of DR.. Gcsner. A gasometer, &c, are
fixed in a building contiguous. This light
when compared with that produced from coal
presents a striking contrast-the gas burning
in the windows Of the surrounding stores ap.
pearing beside The new article as the fame of q
candle 1t is calculated that its cost is not
more than one half the price of coal gas We
understand that the steamboat company intend
using it for the purpose of lighting their pro-
perty on the Dartmouth side
The Earl of Dundonald inspected the kerosene
gas on Tuesday last DR.. Gesncr has already
commenced lighting the city, and will afford the
article much cheaper than is now paid by con-
sumers, and better-COlOnist.
DIR. Gesner is ut present in this city, and has
within two weeks applied for patent, for one
OF the most valuable discoveries ever made in
the manufacture of oil, resin, or asphaltum

THE BURNING OF THE AUGUSTA INSANE Hos.
PITAL.-Further dispatches from Augusta, Me
confirm the burning of the Insane Hospital there
on Wednesday last, but make the loss of life
less than at first stated. Among those who
persisted was a relative of Judge Redington.
The fire originated in the air chambers, cont
guous to the furnace, and when discovered, had
filled the galleries with gas and smoke, which
rendered the attempts to rescue the i, mates ex.
tremely hazardous, and in some cases impractica.
bic.
The number that persisted is unknown as YET
but is estimated at from six to twelve. The fe.
male gallery was cleared without loss of life
The fire was suppressed-one wing and the cen.
trail building mostly saved.
