of the citizens of Poueroy TO our town,
on the ED, says:
We arrived at Gallipolis in time for

men," such; (without meaning any dis

Exactly so, and among the ''brave
men" the editor of the Telegraph stood

ming, not that Mr.. v. H. was handsome,

disposed Of that paper because has con-

Gen. Taylor for President, writes irom
california to the Telegraph as follows;
The "wiImot Proviso" does not aP-
pear to be very popular in this State, as
far as nv observation has gone. The
peopIe generally seem to think they
have a right to settle the question in
voIved in it for themselves, AS far. as
California is concerned, it is probably
the best way to settle the matter. The
passage Of the Proyiso would have pro-
voked spirit Of resistance that would
have ended in no good. This is noiD
my homes: opinion-that they were NOT

If the balance Of these conscience

less talk about dis-unioD, less violation

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot.
WASHINGTON, Feb. "a, 1851.

WASHINGTON, Feb. "A, 1901.
The Senate to-day worked for an
hour or two on amendments TO the
cheap postage bill from the House,
and then resumed the discussion, be-
gun last week, on the message Of the
President Of the United States reh.
tive to the Boston notification Of the
Fugitive Slave Law.
Mr.. Berrien made a long, grace.
fully worded and gracefully pronoun-
ced speech for Buncombe. II made
no converts and was not listened 10
with interest, as was plain TO be seen,
for a large majority Of the Senatorial
seats were vacated before he had con-
cIuded. Why will Senator Berrieu,
who has so wide sprea reputation
for parliamentary oratory, take up
two hours Of the precious time oi
the Senate, at this late day Of the
session, merely to hear himself talk
and declaiml 1t is all wrong, in my
humble judgment.
MIR. Rhett made, what one Of the
South Carolina Representatives styl-
ed a very silly speech. He, like
Chase, Hale, Seward & Co., main
tanned that the Fugitive Slave Law
Is unconstitutional. He said the Con-
stilution was intended 10 provide
that the States, by their own acts,
respectively, should surrender up
Fugitive slaves, and therefore that it
would be unconstitutional for the
Congress Of the United States to
pass law requiring Federal officers
to arrest and deliver up said lugitiVes
from justice. What logicl As if
the General Government and the re-
spective States have no concurrent
powers to be exercised by eachl
Any State may lay tax on her cit
izens. And so may the United States
lay a tax on the citizens Of each
State.

hair-spIitiDg sophistry with great
ability and effect. He also made a
few passes at Mr.. Chase for his late
ridiculous speecF. The universal
exclamation OF the lookers-on SEEM
cd to be, that the sold man eloquent"
was as vigorous and triumphant as
ever. Heavens and earth, what
great man and noble patriot Henry
Clay isl And then he is and ever
has been, THE SOUL OF INTEGRITY.
The debate was finished, anG Mr..
Clay's motion to refer the Presidents
message, with instructions, TO the
Judiciary Committee, was adopted.

adjourned. f n'

Greene's amendment, it was lost by
a vote of 80 to 40.
March 1st
The Convention took up report mum
Der two of the Committee on Apportion
ment, with the pending amendments.
The first section as amended provides
that the apportionment of the STATE
shall be made every ten years after 1851

otherwise. shall forever be divided b,
the number "one hundred" and tn,

for ten years Eext ensuing such appor

The 9th section was amended 4
the effect that the sane rules shal
apply for appropriating the fraction
Of Senatorial districts, and for sepa
rating cities and corporate town
from their respective counties, anC
for annexing districts which ma!
hereafter fall below three-iourths O
full Senatorial ratio, as in tt,
House Of Representatives.
The 18th section provides that
for the first ten years alter 1851, tn
apporiionment Of Senators and Rep
reseniatives shall be as hereinalte
| provided, and no change shall b
made in the principles OF represen
tation as herein established, or il

This section was amended as L
insert at the close the following
words: sand all territory belonging
to a county at the time Of apporiion
Iment shall, as to the right Of repre-
sentaiion and suffrage, remain an in
tegral part thereof, during the decen
