Southern Meetings ON the slavery Question
The Prospect OF its settie cement.
Notwithstanding the fair prospect which wa.
exhibited short time since, of permanent and
satisfactory adjustment OF the slavery question in

sequences, md that settler will be postponed

people TO act, IL they desire adjustment Of this
sSoni7ing question Notwithstanding the recent
action Of the Senate in passing the Texan bsun-
Diary bill, and giving fair equivalent to Texas for
surrendering her claim to portion Of New Mexico,
