"MlLLIoNS FOR DEFENCE. nut NOT A CENT FOR
TRIBUTE. In the better days of the Republic,
this was the patriotic declaration Of one Of her
most loyal sons Of the South, and it received y
cordial and universal response. Little did he
think that one section of the Republic would so
soon he cXacting tribute of another aud still
less did he think, that any in his own section,
would be found submissively yielding to the
cXacton. Let the reader look ut facts. The
estimated value Of the negroes stolen 10y the
North from the South is between twenty and
thirty millions of dollars. The annual tribute
paid il this way by the South TO the North, is
not less than seven hundred thousand dollars.
In tie ancient governments as we'll a" in the old
world at the present day, the power that eSacted
tribute, i'll return guaranteed protection TO the
Province that paid it. But how i. it with the
South When she paid the tribute, does she
get the protection! Let facts answer. The
North not only steals the negroes and receives
the tribute, but emboldened by the submis sion
of the South, is now, as with the voice almost Of
one man, declaring that she will have exclusive
possession Of her lands in the territories. In
the purchase ofthose lands, the South paid blood
and treasure more than her full quota. Yet
cannot possess them. The people Of the North
may 20 there with their property, the Chinese,
thr ChlIian. Peruvian, the Sandwich Islanders.

How MI Clay views the same subject
under different circumstances.

A question arose in the Senate on yesterday,
on the reference of the credentials of the Sena-
tors elect flom California, to the Committee on
the Judiciary. 1t was objected that California
was not State at the time of her election, and
having become such by the action of this Gov
eminent, the Senate could no., under the Con-
stitution, recognize the action of the Legislature
in the election of Senators. A reference WAS
made to that provision of the Constitution
ner of holding the elections for Senators and
Representatives, shall be regulated in each State
by the Legislatures thereof"
Mr.. CLAY rose and said, that before ycster-
day California was a State de tGcio out Of the
Union; to-day, she was a State in the Union,
with equal rights, and on equal footing with
New York. Pennsylvania, or any other State,
and had a right to be represented by her Sena-
tors who have presented their Credentials
Those Senators were elected a year since, by
the first Legislature Of California. Now, hear
Mr. CLAY, il his report of the Committee Of
Thirteen, page 4th, at the close of the second
paragraph:
'If California, by sudden and extraordinary
augmentation has advanced so rapidly as to ma
ture her for State government, that furnishes
no reason why the less fortunate territories of
New Mexico and Utah should be abandoned and
left urgoverncd by the United States, or should
be disconnected scith California soAich, although
she has organized fur e'Seyfa State government,
must be legally and conStHuiionoAy regarded as
a Territory, until she is actually admitted as q
State in the Union"
Thus speaks Mr. CLAY in his report, and how
differently does he speak on the admission of the
Senators. California is territory legally ard
constutional'y, when the South is to be per-
suaded to abandon their rights by recognizing
her revolutionary acts. After the South has been
excluded from her territories, by the ratification
of the Wmot Proviso in the constitution of
California, Mr.. CLAY discovers that California
all this time has been sovereign State de tacto,
but out of the Union. The doctrine of squat
ter sovereignty in the territories, which General
CAss has sometimes declared and sometimes re-
pudiated-occasionally asserted and often eX-
pounded-which the Wing party used against
him effectually in the last canvass, has been
adopted by Mr.. Clay, and we hear it now an
nounced rs constitutional law.

Again, we congratulate our countrymen on
the pFostration Of the aecursed Wilmot Pr0yiso.
It is now doubly doomed, and by the strong
voice Of a strong people. II was condemned in
the case of New Mexico; it is row damned in
the case of Utah. Let every patriot agree to
hiss it off the stage, as monster which ought
never to have been tolerated u moment. II we
gain nothing else by this fiery ordeal through
which we have passed, it is the overthrow Of
monster which had liked to prove to our country
worse than gorgons, hydras, and ehiIneras

If it has--we beg pardon--if it should cost the
South the whole of her share of the most v,liua-
bic territory ever acquired by any government,
and portion of sovereign State beside, as
we'll rs several millions of money to- be wrung
from her people, to pay " to hiss this monster
off the stage"--it certainly gives the best posi-
bic encouragement for the manufacture of an
other gorgon, hydra or ehiinera Dire" by our
Northern brethren.
The persistence in this cant about the destruc-

RESOLVED, That territory acquired by the

RESOLVED, That the people Of the Southern

protection against all laws of Congress, or of
State Legislatures, and all proceedings by the
people of free States calculated to affect injuri-

BYA MIssIssrPPIAH
For our Country, for the Union,
Which our noble fathers made,
Free and sovereign States united,
We are ready, heart and blade,
To battle till our bodies
Are pulseless, stiff and cold,
For we love the good old Union,
As that Union icas Of old.
We lave read and We remember
How cgether once they stood,
And arn hills and Southern plains
Were, soned with their blood.
With the s.urs and stripes above them,
And a Southern at their head,
How they fought and how they struggled,
Till the naughty Briton fed.
There is much to warm our bosom,
There is much to raise our pride,
AS we gaze upon that banner
Under which they bled and died.
And in safety, faith and honor,
For our past and future fame, ~.
We would live and die united,
Now and ever, still the same.
But by God, who rules the Nations,
By the blood our fathers poured,
As band Of equal brothers,
On the proud invaders sword;
by our one and common glory,
OF the present and the past,
When that Union brings oppression,
Wen resist it to the last.
Aye; whenever and wherever
Brute, tyrannic force be used;
e When the bond Of love, that bound us,
Shall be cancelled and abused,'
To insult, and grind, and crush us,
In defiance of our right,
We will stand upon our thresholds,
We will parry, ice uiH salite.
If a CO ward be among US,
If slave, with Saxon face,
Let him fly, a Southron branded
With submission and disgrace.
We will scorn all timid counsels,
We will laugh at bastard fears;
And the Union, ,chich our fathers made,
May last thousand years.

GEORGIA STATE CONVENTION. Sc
cessi0n from the Ulaion.-The Federal
Union, published at Milledgeyille, the
capitol oil Georgin, and which is the or
gan of Gov. Towns, SAYS that his excel
lency will call convention of the peo-
pie OF Georgia to redress the wrongs they
have suffered by the admission Of Cali
fornia. We may expect proclamation
in few days, ordering an election OF
delegates. In regard to the .'mode Of
resistance" to be adopted by the conyen-
ton, the Federal Union says:
alt may be that the convention will de-
eide upon separate action by the State
in other words, immediate secession
This. however, we apprehend, will be
the dernier resort, and will not be adop-
ted till every other expedient has failed
or proved hopeless"
The Charleston Mercury also says
that it has authentic information from
Milledgeyille that Governor Towns will
certainly call convention of the State.
The Savannah Republican, however, says
that the Federal Union need not trouble
isself about immediate" or any other
kind Of secession"

Secretary Ewing--NIaj. Richard-
SON. Of His.

The only thing which Maj. Richard.
son. OF llls., has performed during the
present session of Congress, has been tc
get up an inquisitorial committee to find
matter Of accusation against ex-Secreta.
ry Ewing. 1t was done on his motion
and of course he was made chairman
and had a committee composed OF a ma.
jority of men hostile to Mr.. Ewing
They sc, themselves to work, and at the
end of several weeks, two reports were
made--one by Mai. Richardson, Ola be-
half of the majority; and the other by
Mr.. Vinton, Of the minority. They
were subjects of debate for several days,
Maj. Richardson having the advantage
of the closing speech against Mr.. Ew-
ing, and in favor o. his report-which
concluded with these resolutions:
Resolred, That the payment by the
Secretary of The Interior of .hirty-two
thousand and three hundred and eighty
two dollars and fifty cents TO the admin
istrator OF Commodore James Barron, as
Communication pay for the naval services
of said Barron during the revolutionary
war, was in violation of law.
Resolued, That the officers Of the
Virginia navy, during the war Of the
Revolution, are not entitled to commuta
ton pay.
Resolued, That the payment of COM
pound interest in the case of Commodore
James Barron was made in violation Of
law.
ResoiUed, That the sum of $56,02l
SO, paid to Messrs. Corcoran 81 Riggs,
as assignees of William M. Gwin, was
Justly due to the Chickasaw Indians, and
improperly paid to Corcoran and Riggs.
To sustain Maj. Richardson and his
committee in their accusations against
Mr. Ewing, il was absolutely necessary
that the House should pass these resolu-
tons. But that body refused to do it,.
Instead of affirming the charges, the
House--composed of majority of Lo-
cofocos--relused to do SO. by passing
the following resolution, submitted as a
substitute for the majority resolution:
Resolged, That, inasmuch as the res
olu.ions proposed by the committee do
no, charge the Secretary of the Interior
with any crime or misdemeanor, and do
not propose any change of existing laws,
but, in effect, call upon this House to re-
view and reverse the decision Of the
proper officers of the government, upon
legal question affecting private rights,
that The same be not concurred in.
On this question, the vote stood--yeas
