The Milledgeville Recorder directs attention to
the TACT that the late Convention of the macon.
tents at that place, could not agree upon suita-
Bile name or their party, though they discussed
the matter very gravely 1t points too to the re-
markable fact that they suggested no sort of re.
dress for the degradation they proclaimed to the
South, except in their eighth resolution, which
they finally voted out. This gives the Recorder
occasion for the following just and strong re-
marks
All then that be gathered from the resolutions
OF this Convention is that wth+a formal announce
ment OF State degradation the Convention tactv and
quietly bows to that degradation and submits to- it ~
l ms lsindeed submission with vengeance Rut oil
inns naturally results from the wrong position assumed
by the leaders ofte party of this Convention both in
me Legislature and at their public assemblages. Bva
haisn and preJudlced decision in relation to the com
promise OF Congress, and by the announcement of il
as degrading to the honor Of the South they have in
vowed themselves in tine present dilemma If that COM
promise IS as they have declared it to be unconsution
ai-osgraceful and degrading to the South, there was
put one course to take and that course in the words OF
the Union party was to resist even to the disrnon Of
every tie that binds to the Union -
such undoubtedly would be the course of the Con
sltuonal Union party, whenever this convietion Of
state dlshonor is forced upon its understanding -
However we have no desire to expaa,e at lensfh nm

TEXAS PoLITics.-The congressional canvass in the
Western District of Texas is getting to be very hot
The candidates are Col. Volney E. Howard The late
member. and Gen. Hugh Mcleod. Bolh are Demo-
Gratis. Gen. Mcleod, if he had been at home, would
on Southern grounds, have voted for Gen Taylor and
he mad fears OF the "equivoca position of Gen. Cass
Gen. Cass he Thinks ''has since sustained the South
nobly and welt" On the subject oil the River and
Harbor bill of the last session he is strict than

that measure.

feet it. Gen. Mcleod finds great fault with the Texas
settlement and assas Howard for his conduct in that
matter; but plants himself on the ground of acquies-
cence in all the comp omise since thew have
passed. He says, in a speech al San Antonio:
"When the proposition was put to the people, vo.-
ed against it. 1t accepted by large majority,
and then my opposition ended. 1t is now a law ofthe
land"

tent. Further will be the last disturb it, because
unanmy is essential the South for Success in such
struggle II the North respects it, the difficulty is at

bill will see that all hope is gone On this platform [

Both candidates are, accordingly, Union men, on
the Georgia and Virginia platform. The two candi-
dates have unfortunately got 10 assailing each other
personally with great bitterness. At San Antonio and
and at Austin charges and epthets passed 10 and fo

LYNCH LAW IN FLORIDA.
Correspondence of the Mobile Tribune,

PENSACOLA, May 3lst, 1851.
You remember short time since murder COM
mltied IN Washington county, A labama, by man bv
the name Of ohm b. Hardin, who arrested in Shell
by county, Alabama. 1t may be interesting TO you and
your readers to learn his sequel.
He carried from Shelby county TO Henrico coun
ty, Ala. A delegation sent from Milton, Santa
Rosa county, Fla to get him from the authorities in
Alabama, and bring him lie M lon, which was done =
Yesterday he was executed in Milton by the people,
without trial The negro who assisted him, belong
ing to Joseph Forsyth, also hung the same time
yesterday Friday May Both, at 49, o'clock. He con.
essed the crime and said he richly deserved DEATH for he
had been villain all his life. He bad twenty wives
living and had killed sixteen men, and all he was sorry
for was that he was not permitted to live long enough
TO kill four He and the negro Jack were both
hung to one tree and buried in one grave Repentance
and remorse were strangers to him. tie said his IA
Their and brother both hung. He refused to
make any further confession, as he would implicate
many heads OF families who passed as respec table and
would thereby leave many widows and orphans.
He met death without shudder; was as cool as
cucumber. He repented OF nothing he had done, and
said that he would f turned oose) be as bad ever,
nnot worse. The only request he had to make, was
not be put to TORTURE He said he wished to be hung
a nd decently buried Yours, very respectfully.
HARD HIr-We take the following from the
Charlottesville Advocate:
The following from the leading editorial in the last
Jefersonan is very singular sentiment to be enter
tanned in that quarter. The editor OF the Jeersonan
is himself "Y aukee" and according his show
ing "prima facie" nnsound upon the slavery question.
The editor judges Yankees much more harshy than
we do: but being one of them, it be presumed he
knows his countrymen better than
"We think Col Randolph can hardly be blamed
when this understood tor refusing to vote The interest
of into the keeping OF the inhabitants OF cities,
scarcely any of whom have direct interest in the sub
jsct and many oil them-in Richmond we suppose one

sound upon it."

A MAN SHOT BY A WoMAN.--Our town was
made the theatre again, on Friday last, ola bloody
tragedy, in which woman by the name of Cath
crime Davis was the principal actor. The crcum-
stances of the case, as we gather them from the
evidence given at the trial before the Mayor, are
briefly as follows: An Irish aborer on the canal
above this place, by the name of Taylor, entered
the house of the prisoner and enquired for an in
divdua whom he understood was there; prisoner
told him that the person for whom he was looking
not there; Taylor contradiced her; stated that
he knew he was there, that he had letter for
him and must see him and started up a flight of
stairs for the purpose of making search prisoner
then ordered him out ofthe house; he refused per-
sisted in his course, and threatened to take her
life if she attempted to prevent him. She then
drew pistol from drawer near by and shot
him, the ball striking him just above the eye and
gancing. Taylor though severely wounded, it is
thought, will recover. The woman after under
going an examination, was committed to Jail until
Friday next when she will again make her ap-
pearance before the Mayor Tor further investiga-

The Petersburg Intelgencer copies the article of thu
Norfolk Argus retorting upon the Governor Tor order
ing the disc ntnuance OF that paper, and adds the fol-
lowing remarks:
We do not like to interfere in quarrel between De-
mocratic brethren but must take leave say that
the prediction OF the Argus THAT the Governor will
some day turn Abolitionist is a little too strong We
never look to such metamorphose in the Cover
nor; while, at the same time confess that his admit
nistraton has sadly disappointed those who voted for
him-,he writer of this article among the rest. In Civ
ing that vote we never dreamed that Governor Floyd
was anything else than what he protested to be-a De-
mocrat--we never expected to make him Wing, or
even Whiggisb, by helping to elect him. in spite Of the
decreeof his own party But voted for him
because in years with him in the Legislature
we had found him fair and liberal in his conduct and sup
posed that Governor, he would disregard the prece
dent set by his immediate predecessor VIM. Smith, and
go back to the practice OF the good old times when Vr
gnias Chief Magistrate, whether Wing or Democrat,
administered the Executive office with eye single
the good OF the State, and without reference to party
politics. That we were sadly wrong in our calcula-
tons, Gov. Floyds administration has fully proved

more than this say in Reproduction of his conduct

MEMORIAL.

To The Senate and Hous. Of Representatives Of III
United STATES in Congress assembled; The memorial
of the undersigned, respectfully represents tina
they are entitled to Bounty Land, under the nc
of 18th OF September, 1850, that they are informed
and believe that the INDICATED warrants are worth
more to them than the patented lands would be,
that thew do not expect or desire to reside on the
land thus granted; that If patented to them. the
expense of agencies and taxes will be an annual
charge, reducing the value of the grant, which
they could avoid if permitted to sell the warrant
Your memorialists further represent that the law,
by preventing the sale Of the warrants, assum e'
that the officers and volunteers entitled to bounty
lands. are not competent to act for themselves,
whereas many Of them are among the most intel
ligen, and respectable citizens Of the States They
therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 40 modified as to make the warrants for
bounty lands assignable, and they will ever
pray, &c.
