The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1850-08-30
Mr. Clay is expected to resume his sea-

House may 90 wanted. then, in favor OF tho
Senate bills, the di:iuncta memJra Of his
omnibus. Much remains to be done before
any measures OF cancellation can be adopted.
s. many members Of the House have over
sui over again committed themselves in
/ cnpcs.tion to some o. those measures that
/ twill he difficult; for them to turn oil into
another track. AS to the Northern people.
they have not yet been induced generally TO
hclieve that the South is really disposed
/ to be FESTIVE and Discontinued. Much less
do they believe that the South will resist
any course policy which Northern mas
jori,y may adopt. They do NOT, even now
believe tina. on the frontier Of Texas there
is any thing but mere vapcring. As to The
South. they rendered compromises TO the
North in 1913 and were rcpulsed. They
will not, therefore, cordially unite in the
measures now before the House. The adj
minis!ra,ion, consulting its own ease and
safety, is in favor of the passage of all the
Senate bills now before the House. Mean.
while, the Executive is evidently prepared
to support the pre,ensions Of the Federal
Government in the Santa FS-.
Troops are moving in thar diract~s~ Ii
is said here that Col. Plymouth Of the It'll
Regiment. ranking Col. Monroe, will take
the Command at Santa Fc.
But the various and strong influences
brought to bear upon the House in favor of
the Texan boundary bill and the territorial
bills will, it is believed, prevail. 1t will
only remain to be seen, in that case. wheth-
er Texas will accept the terms offered to
her. Congress, it is SAID, will remain in
session, not only till the Texan bill is pas
scd, but till the Texan Legislature, nov i'll
session, shall acccp, or reject the terms
Should Texas rejec. the offer, it will remain
to be seen whlt shall be done next.-Cor.

Coon SENsE.-We find the following in
some Of our exchanges, and hope thet the
advice it gives will not be forgotten:
at is unwise in tie publishers Of the
South to publish the prospectuses Of North
eru newspapers, How con we blame the
people for taking papers that we thus recon-.
mend to them? How can we complain that
the Northern papers ore about to break
down our own, when we cut them q stick
TO break our own heads!' We trust that
the press of the South will look into this
ma,tcr-that the people Of the South may
cease 10 support Northern newspapers
that all may encourage homo industry
Whoever saw the prospectus of q Southern
paper published by the Northern press?-
How many Southern papers ure taken q, the
North? How Gun we expect to prosper
when we send abroad for every thing We
need, instead of supporting our ois-'. "sisi'
5ors-building up others, and breaking
down ours.lves2"
The CABINET-Thc Press, of the scve-
raj sections Of the country, which VIC have
examined, is unanimous in the expressions
Of appreciation Of. and confidence in the
new Cabinet. The only exception is from
the Disunion and political Abolition fac.
tionisls-from these two extremes who
never agreed before upon any thing, there
is carpinG and fault finding, which is the
surest evidence of the wisdom of the selec.
tons. Faction and agitation are tho meat
and drink which they feed on Even the
Democratic press, that which represents
"Bttcr end Locofocoism," is constrained
to admit the strength, ability and na,ionaii'
ty of the presen. Cabinet.
DS-Thc Register says he has been stick
ing 'thorns in tho Posts side" He does'n,
say which side:
Two men once fell into dispute about
some trife, and during the debate one of
them became so exasperated that he gave
the other q blow. There" said he, "take
that"
"Take wha,?" asked the other, coolly.
al struck you" said he.
"You struck me, did you? Well, I did
not feel il, but if you hit me again. and !
find it out, shall hurt you, sure"
THE BEST BUsINEss.-Thc safest and
most reliable business young man can
enter, is agriculture. A good farm, well
attended, is an inexhnuslibe store. an end

of the earth can be profusely drawn, if the
owner will remember that this can only be
done by the swea, of his brow, by honest,
diIigent labor.

Col. Garrett. the operating engineer Of this
Road, is at present actively engaged in the
survey and location Of the route. He es,i-
mates that the Road can certainly be built
for So, 800, 000-perhaps much less.
