From the Lunchburg Republican

A INDUSTRIOUS PRoposIT1oN The Richmond
Times contends that the South has s'secured every
principle for which she contended when the terri
torial contest began" Then, if this be so, the
South contended for Just nothing, for that is pre-
cisely what she has gotten, besides giving up
much to boot We shall not be surprised to find
the Times contending in short time, that the
South has not only 'ssecured every principle for
which she contended," but larger concessions
from the patriotic North besides! When the ter
ritorial contest began, we understood the South
to contend for equal share of the new terrtories
Has she gotten it The Times has too much re-
spect for truth to say that she has, She has gotten
no part oft She has been choused out of every
inch it. A Southern man, unless he be des-
perate adventurer utterly regardless of the security
of his property, would not dare venture with his
slaves upon any part Of the new territories. The
Times knows this. He is expressly prohibited
by the Wilmot Proviso, from going to California,
which is by far the most valuable portion Oft,
and he is equally as effectually prohibited from
going to Utah and New Mexico by the Mexican
laws which we are told by Clay, Webster s. Co.,
are now in preparation therein. But if the slave
holder were permitted to go there, he well knows
that neither of these territories can ever become
States Of this Union with slavery recognized as
one of her institutions. This is fixed fact. Were
Utah or New Mexico to apply for admission into
the Union next winter, without clause mhibiting
slavery, they could not possibly be admitted
Their constitution would be secuted from the halls
Of Congress. How then is it possible for the
Richmond Times to contend for the monstrous
proposition that the South has gained everything
she contended for when the territorial question
was first agitated? The idea is repugnant to the
common understanding Of the people. She has
gained nothing and to gain that, has absolutely
surrendered up vast and important rights, besides
the spoaton Of the slave territory of Texas, and
the abolition of the district slave trade.
But it is the policy of those who have given aid
and comfort to the North in this contest, and have
beat an unconditional surrender, to make the
"worst appear the better cause, and to induce
the Southern people to believe that they are the
actual gamers by the adjustment"

THE FEELING AT HUNTsvrLLE.-We publish
on our first page the proceedings of public
meeting held at Huntsville in this State. This
place is the residence of Gen. Houston, and as
such, the resolutions passed derive an additional
interest from the fact that they are in direct op
position to his course.
The Item of September IA, makes mention
of another meeting recently held in that town.
The following is a notice of it in that paper;
sThe meeting which, we said last week, was
announced to be held on Saturday afternoon,
for the purpose of giving expression to public
opinion on the subject of our boundary, was
held at the hour named, and the appointment of
a committee to draft resolutions, was carried.
After short retirement, the committee returned
and proposed several resolutions, approbatory
Of the Pearce bill, &C.. but it appears they were
not in accordance with the views of the meet
ing, and after several amendments had been pro-
posed and warmly discussed, motion was made
for an adjournment sine die, and carried, as far
as we could learn; Al being for the motion and
80 against it." -.
1t appears that the Houston party introduced
resolutions, which were looked upon as dis
graceful, so much that they became ashamed OF
them, and they were taken from the printing
Office, for fear they would be published. We
presume they favored Pearces bill and endorsed
Gen. Houston's course. Here is a notice OF
them in the Item:
"CAN | NOT DO WHAT 1 WILL WITH MY
wN?"-We had a copy of all the resolutions
and amendments offered at the meeting on
Saturday but on Monday, while showing the
resolutions to Col. Hatch, he avowed them to
be his, and took them away.
GAS they were not signed officially, we did
not intend to publish them, unless they were but
simply to compile our notice of them.
ave are, however, pleased that the impro-
priety of them was felt, in the act Of taking
them away. 1t is a tacit acknowledgment that
they were not becoming the dignity of our
people"

From the Galveston (Te1as) Ne,cs.

The Matagorda Tribune does not approve the
vote of our representatives in Congress in favor
of the Pearce bill. The reason assigned that
this vote did not so much express their own ap.
prevail of the measure, as their wish to refer il
to the people of Texas for their decision, is not
satisfactory to the Tribune. The editor speaks
as follows:
Our friends, no doubt, feel themselves thus
placed in a dsagreeable dilemma, and subject to
the censure of their constituency. This out
herods Mexican faithlessness in an eminent de-
gree, and requires better explanation than, we
think, can be conveniently found to suit the oe'
casion.
1t is true that the terms proposed by the
Pearce bill are more favorable to TEXAS than any
measure that has yet been suggested. How
ever, when mans doom is sealed, it matters
little whether he is to expiate on the gallows, oil
be drowned like a rat, so that the deed is accom-
plished.

THE WHas OF THE TENTH DISTRICT ON THE
FUGITIVE SLAVE BML.-The following resolutions
by the Wing Convention of the Tenth District,
which assembled at Hyannis, on Tuesday last:
"Resolued, That we deem thefugitive slave law,
passed at the last session Of Congress, unconsti-
tutiona inasmuch as it destroys the writ Of habeas
corpus, and denies to the person claimed as slave,
the right of a trial by jury; aud that we urge
upon our representatives in Congress the import
ance of making an early, earnest and determined
effort for it's repeal.
Resolved, That the legislature of Massachusetts,
us it assemblies, should appoint one or
more agents, whose duty it shall be, under the au
thority of the State, and with writ of habeas
pus to take the first fugitive from slavery arrested
in this State from the hands of the officer making
the arrest, and thus bring the question of the
cons.itutionality Of the law before the Supreme
Court of the United States for decision"
Another resolution deeply regrets that the ordi-
nance Of 1887 was not engrafted into the bills for
the government of Utah and New Mexico.

nm f,satstA runK.--The Legislature, con.
,,.rsd II extra session on the 18th ultimo, has
adjourned. and what has been done Have the
members of that honorable body done any thing
wbick will serve any practical benefit? Have they
in this Legislative elaboration devised any fu-
ture course for our people to act with reference
to the Santa Fe Territory They have reelected
r. J. Rusk to the Senate OF the United
States. They have taken into consideration the
propriety of having plank roads, and repairing
bridges, &c. They have also passed the ten
million bill, which was rejected in the House of
Representatives in Congress by eight votes; and
we believe are determined to accept the PROPOSE
fion ut all events The members of the Legis-
Iature understand the law of retaliation.-First,
fine Senate of the United States passed Mr..
Pearces Bill, and with this proviso, that, should
II pass the lower house, the sword would be
held IN torrmrem over Texas, thereby wrestling
from her this territory, and, to palate the in
dignity offered her $l0,O00,00o hush money"
What will our sister Southern States say in
regard to this matter, who have promised their
aid, and who have been manfully battling for
our rights? can they longer, can they consist
ently lend their aid and influence to people who
will not assist themselves! We have, by this
last convention of the Legislature, forfeited all
claims to the protection of the Southern States.
We have been greatly mistaken in the character
of the Texans, ii these are their sentiments; but
this we cannot believe. The governor has ye-
toed the passage of the bill, for which act he de-
serves the gratitude of our people. A few men
in the halls of our Legislature battled for our
rights, and opposed with all the means put in
their power the passage of the Bill; but they
were overpowered by numbers.
We hope we may hear from the representa-
tiyes from Harrison, SO that we may know ex-
actly how the matter stands Truly can it be
said, aTexians you are nolonger freemen."

The Frontier SrArEs.-From our intercourse
with the people of Kentucky, and citizens of Vir-
GINA, while late visit to the former State'
we are satisfied that very common opinion is
terained Of the injustice Of the late settlement of
Southern rights, and the only reason for acquies-
cence in the result is, that the people are UMPIRE
pared for resistance by force. I" We can do no
better" is the nvarable reply of the submission
lists everywhere.
On the other hand wear firmly ofthe opinion that
no actual collision between the Federal Govern
ment and Southern State Gould take place without
exciting the feelings Of the citizens Of every North
ern slaveholding State in favor of such conflict
ing State The young men of Kentucky are ia
nous for their ardent devotion to the South and
the same spirit of chivalry which animated them
when looking, at time, to the conquest Of Span
sh domain in Florida and Louisiana--at anoth-
err, to fight for Texas, and at another, for Cuban
liberty, would inspire the best blood in the State
to win laurels in the cause of Southern rights, by
marching in companies and battalions, to defend
State driven to stern resistance to federal agrees
sion.
The Federal Government is now treading upon
a volcano. We do not know at what moment or
where the fires may first burst out which VIII de-

The WEATHER AND CRoPs.-From all Sec
tons Of the cotton region, we have accounts OF
continued dry weather. We have had no rain in
this region for about ffty-two days and the plan
tiers, rs well US the cotton plants, seem to have
made good use of their time The season for
picking has been unusually fine, and the greater
portion of the crop will be saved in the very
best Of order. The accounts in regard to the
extent of the crop in Georgia are conflicting
All, however, agree that the yield will fall ma
terially short Of last year. This will be part
culary the case, in the upper counties. In the
Southern and South Western counties, the pro.
spect was better, until since the storm That
however, injured the fibrous roots, and caused
the plant in many instances to shed its fruit,
and take second growth. Upon the whole,
the prospects Of the planters, so far as the guam
tity Of cotton is concerned, are gloomy. The
price, however, will amply rcmuncrate, as we
have no doubt they will receive more money
for the crop than they would have done, had the
yield been twice as great as it really is.-IMacon

ANOTHER GREAT ENrERrRIsE.-The London
Times foreshadows another great enterprise,
which is now engaging the attention of the British
Government, for the purpose of bringing England
and the United States yet closer together:
90 The constantly increasing commerce with
America, and our growing relations, social as
well as commercial, with her people, render a
rapid communication with the American CONT
nent of increasing importance. This necessity OF
trade and society may be made the means of u
great improvement in one part of our country,
which certainly most needs enlightenment and as
sistance-we mean Ireland, and her geographical
position may be turned to use not simply to in
crease the rapidly Of our correspondence with
America, but to her own good. From the West
coast Of Ireland to America, voyage by steam
might be performed in so short time as to be
measured rather by hours than by days. If
packets to sail regularly between the nearest
harbor on the Western coast, and Halifax or New
York, and there were direct Geographic commune
cations between that Irish harbor and London,
news might be transmitted from the borders OF the
mississippi and ultimately from the Western
coast OF America, to every part of Great Britain
and Ireland in less than week. If, in addition
to this Geographic communication, railroad
were carried across Ireland from East to West, all
who prefer travelling by land would take their
final departure from the Irish port rather than in
cur the inconvenience and annoyance Of the longer
sea voyage which is necessary If the voyage start
either fronfs an English Scotch port. The
| fastest liners would, in that case, not be those
| which would sail between Liverpool and America,
but Irish vessels would enjoy that distinction and
advantage, and the moral benefit to Ireland, re-
| sulting from such constant contact with men Of
other countries would be incalcuable.
