the Annexation Of Canada to the United
States, the Morning Advertiser, well IN

"The abinet has under its consideration
the question CT q severance between the
Mother Country and her Canadian pos
sessions. The conclusion arrived at is,
that England would be no actual loser
were the CanadAs % carry their threats Of
separation into effect. he result Of Il care

ANDERSON COURT.

The Court for Anderson District was
in session this week, his Honor Judge
Withers presiding. We regret to state
that Judge Withers has been indisposed
for some time, but we find that he does
not allow his indisposition to prevent the
speedy transaction of business His
charge to the Grand Jury was an able
one, embracing their duties, and dwelling
upon their obligation under their oath to
present all violations of the law that
might come within their view and know
ledge, as wellas all matters of neglect Of
public duty by an officer or board of
commissioners.
The docket at Anderson was small
one, and no case of importance. Court
would probably adjourn on Thursday.

Owing to the confusion in the mails,
we have but little news from this body,
and what we have tends rather to alarm
us for the safety of our Government. Mr..
Webster has declared himself in favor of
the admission Of California with her pres
ent boundaries, with her present Consti-
tuition, and in its present shape. This, it
would seem leaves but little doubt as to
the admission of that State, and the
South thus by the intrigue and cunning
of Southern President is to be cheated

CONGRESS-.
WAsnMcroN, March 1s, 1850.

w ASiitNGTON, MarCn lS, 1850.
In the Senate, after the presentation of
petitions, the consideration of Mr.. Claws
resolutions was resumed, and Mr.. Bad
ger addressed the Senate on the subject.
He argued that dissolution of the
Union was possible in certain contingcn-
cics, and, therefore, great care should be
taken TO guard against such contingencies.
The South had n right to ask the en-
forccment of the provision for the recap
turc of fugitive slaves. This was ques-
ton of right; if there was anything in
the Constitution to be relied on, it was
this. Without the enforcement of that
provision, there could be no permanent
pacification between the North and South.
He replied to many points in Mr.. Sc
wards speech, and showed from the
Scripture that, if slavery was an evil, it
was sin.
If the sentiments of the Senator from
New York (Mr. Seward )wercithose of the
Northern people, or any large portion of
them, this Union could not stand
Mr.. Badger gave way to motion to
go into Executive session, without con-
cluding.
The Senate spent some time in Execu-
tive session, and adjourned.
In the House of Representatives, Mr..
Bayly gave notice that he would to-mor-
row ask the House to go
into committee of the whole on the state
of the Union to taxi ur the deficiency
in the appropriate bill.
Mr.. Boyd, of Ky, presented the me-
mortal and credentials of the delegates
eject from California, and the constitution
of TINT State; which we,e ordered to lie
on the table and be printed.
Mr.. Blown, of Miss, objected to the
reception of the papers. F
The Speaker ruled that it was too late;
that the papers had been received and or
dercd to be printed g-rg
On motion of Nh Thomas, of Tenn,
the rules were suspended, and the House
resolved itself into committee of the
whole, (Mr. Boyd, of Ky, in the chair.)
and resumed the consideration of the
bill to admit California as State into the
Union
Mr.. Williams, of Tenn, was entitled
to the floor, and spoke for an hour in dis
cussing the questions involved in the ad-
mission of California M
Mr.. Casey followed and spoke his hour.
MIR. Giddings next obtained the floor,
and made personal reply to the recent
speech of Mr.. Winthrop. He was fol-
lowed by
Mr.. Thurston, of Oregon, who yield

A DEsERTER WELCOMED WITH AP-.
PLAusE.-Mr. Webster's speeck suits the
Washington Union exactly In its Sat
urday's sheet it says:
"The politicians who lead the slave in
terest were already at our mercy. We
might have insisted on the admission of
California without compact or condition
of any sort, and no more disturbance
would have followed than when we pass
law revising the tariff. The very men
who threatened disunion, were afraid to
take a single step towards their preten-
ded purpose; they who proposed the
Nashville Convention, could not engage
the cooperation of half dozen states,
and were already frightened at their own
audacity; the south itself was rising up to
rebuke disuuion; the mediated treason
was denounced in Florida and Texas, and
Louisiana. and North Carolina, and Ken
lucky. Tennessee, in which the Conven-
ton was to be held, declined becoming a
party toit. The Shareholders themselves
in fear for the security of their possession,
were beginning to signify their displeas-
ure. We had the faction at our mercy,
closely pressed and on the point of sur
rendering at discretion.
"Ofthe fifteen slave states, there would
not be two in which the monster head of
disunion could be raised with any effect,
and there would be thousands and tens
of thousands of gallant and loyal hearts

We give in another column an editorial
from the New York Evening Post, the
organ Of the New York Free -soilers, de-
voted to the castigatior of the unfortunate
Webster, unfortunate in having displeased
the North by aspeech which did not have
the effect of conciliating the South, for
he gave to the South too much to be
pleasing to the ons party and too little to
satisfy, the other. To the North he says:
whenever the Wilmot Proviso can be
applied,to territory into which slavery
is likely to so, / shall support it with all
my strength, and turning to the South
consoles it thus, whenever the Proviso
is to be applied to territory into which
the DEGREES of Providence itself have for
bidden slavery to come, I shall not sup
port it" In other words he holds him
self ready TO strike the South whenever
blow can be made to take effect but is
