The leading politiciansof South Carolina
are making known, from time 70 time, their
views on the s0bject Of che proper course q
policy to be taken By The State Convention,
which assemblesin May. That body, when
elected, contained large majority Of imme-
diase secsssionists; but the course Of events
in the other slave States and the result. OF
the elections last year within the State have
made new counsels necessary.
y The decision against
any act Of resistance, on account of any sub
sisting law, ana all combination for resist
ance, except against some additional griev-
ance, Is admitted to fnal and irrepealable.
Withcut some further fact upon which to
rally new excitement, Secessionism and
Disunionism do not expect to raise party
or make an.issue, and this is substantially
in the compromise for every a.
valuable purpose. It does not endorse it, or
approve It, or cease to proclaim repugnance
or hatred to it, but it withdraws all form
and disclaims all purpose of positive resist
ance, and admits that the acquiescence in it
by the South is settled and irreversible.

Constitutional UniOnism.

We copy the following says the Athens
Georgia Herald from the Lagrange RepOE-
ter of last week.
"THE MEETING THAT WAS TO BE.-A
large number Of the citizens of this county
were in attendance at this place on Tuesday
last, but from some unaccountable indiffer-
ence, only about bakers dozen could be
got into the Court House. Under the cir
cumstances it was deemed advisable not to

Gems manifest 90 little interest in references
to the action Of che approaching Convention.

Wing Congressional Caucus.

WASHINGTON, April 90.
The Wing Caucus re-assembled in the
Senate Chamber at o'clock, Judge Man
gum presiding. The attendance was rather
thin, number of Southern members and
some of Mr.. Webster's friends being absent
Among those present were Senators Smith,
Fish, Wade and Seward, and Messrs. Fow-
Ter, Briggs, Brooks, Haws, Stanly, Gentry,
Landry and Humphrey Marshall, Of the
House of Representatives.
The following were the proceedings pre-
vious to the vote on the Convention
Mr.. Marshall, of Kentucky, offered the
resolutions introduced by him at the first
meeting Of the Wing Caucus, when lengthy
and stormy discussion arose.
Mr.. Stanly contended that they were out
of order, and the Chairman sustained his OBJ
lection.
After a discussion, principally between
Messrs. Marshall and Stanly, the decision Of
the Chair was sustained-yeas 46, nays Is.
Mr.. Marshall said that as the Chair had
decided the Compromise principles of the
Wing Administration out of order, the eau.
Gus was no place for a wing to remain, and
then withdrew
The negative vote against the decision Of
the Chair were Southern men, except Mes
srs. Stanly, Morehead, Mccullough and two
Kentuckians.
Among the alternatives were Messsrs
Fowler, Wade, Campbell, Sackett, School
craft and others.

Washington Correspondence.

Special Correspondence of the Picayune.l
WASHINGTON, April 8, 1852.
A very important disclosure was made to-
day by Major Polk in his speech to the
compromise in Committee of the Whole, on
Johnson's bill for granting 100 acres to
every landless man who will work the same
for five years. Major Polk related the man.
ner in which he came to introduce his COM
promise resolution, (the same that passed on
Monday last, offered by Mr. Hillyer,) Into
the Democratic caucus held at the commence
ment of the session, and how that resolu-
ton was voted down or kicked out of the
caucus by the cooperation of Secessionists
and Free Sellers. While thus admitting
the fa~r pas of his own party, he took a
glance at the Wing caucus held subsequent
ly, in which compromise resolutions in the
very words used in the Presidents message
were adopted. He showed that these reso-
lutions we're not adopted till number of
Northern Wings had left, and when, on
motion of the Hon. Humphrey Marshall, of
Kentucky, it was proposed to nominate a
candidate for Speaker, on the very platform
which had just been established by accept
ing the compromise resolutions referred to,
that motion was tabled. Had the Wings,
who had passed the compromise resolutions,
had the nerve to nominate a Democratic
compromise Speaker, he could no doubt have
been elected. But the Southern Wings
threw away the cards which had been dealt
them in the vain hope Of bringing the Nor
thern Wings to their senses.
That in this laudable enterprise they did
not succeed Is best shown by the almost
ridiculousIy small Northern Wing vote on
the compromise resolutions passed on Mon
day last. Nor we're there six Northern
Wings voted for Hillyer's resolution to sup.
port the fugitive slave law, and not more
than one from all New England. This, in
view of the result Of the New Hampshire
and Connecticut elections, issurprising; and
shows how far the people arc ahead Of then
representatives. in Congress.

Mr. Mangum Of N. C.

The wing press of the South are letting
loose their heaviest batteries upon the devo-
ted head Of this distinguished veteran of the
"Old Guard" compared with which the wal
between the Democratic ReVie,O and "Fogy.
ism" is a circumstance. Mr.. Mangum as
our readers are aware has declared for Scott
as the Whig candidate for the Presidency,
having at the same time freely commented
upon what he conceived to be the abuses Of
the existing administration. While he does
justice to Mr.. Fillmore, he perceives nothing
Of that "great attraction" about which south
ern whiggery has stultifed itself. He is
for bringing his party up to the frank and
fearless test Of its old national platform and
policy, and against skulking the issue by any
such pitiful disguise as that of Fillmore and
the Finality. - This iswhat we understand
to be Mr.. Mangum's object, in the indepen-
dent pursuit Of which he has encountered
the i'll will of all who are afraid to ''face the
music" as TO the merits Of democracy and
undisguised Whiggery.

oid Genuine


We ksaf great deal Of very absuld and
nnfnehine babble about Hold ioeyism Z,
but here Is specimen 81 the genuine article
from The pen of our venerable neighbor Of
the National Intelligeacer. Speaking Of the
propoaod,revision Of the constitution Of Lou
isiana--a question upon which the people II
that State voted yesterday-the h'teItigeH-
Ger says:
"0ne Of the oldest arguments, TO our con-
ception, in favor Of revision Of the consti-
tuition, and which is urged by one OF the
conservative journals Of New Orleans, too,
is 70 secure the Independence Of the judiciary
BY giving the choice Of judges TO the peo-
pie, instead Of their being appointed, as at
present, By tho executive Of the Suite. This
change, ertending itself from one STATE 10
another, Is, ace 0pprehend, gradually loosen
ing tie TrGmssOork o our institutiOns."
We shall be glad if the Iate1igencer will
state one reason-oF one phrase purporting
to be reason-Why judge elected BY the
people is, in fact, less Independent, or il
likely to be less independent, than the same
Judge when appointed by a goveFnor-the
governor himself holding his appointing
power because elected by the people.
As we understand the matter, in those
States where the experiment Of an elective
judiciary has been tried, the general convic
ton, both Of the legal profession and Of the
people, is, that the new system has worked
we'll, and tended to elevate the character o.
the bench, however high it may have beer
before. We have heard Of no single in
stance in which the people, after trial Of tbe
two systems, have desired TO change bach
again from an elective to an appointed ju
dietary Washington Union.

From the New Orleans Courier.
Mr.. Clay and Gen. Cas-.

EDITOR OF THE COURIER "A sensitive
friend of mine has called my attention to
the fact, that the French side of the "Bee
remarks, that ''a certaim Mr.. Bacon" says
Gov. Foote told him that Mr.. Clay SAID to
him, ''he preferred Gen. Cass to any man
living for President"
The New York Express speaks of me in
like style. / construe this as compliment.
| am certain that Gov Foote told me so,
that Gov. Foote is man Of honor and told
the truth, and that Mr. Clay did and does
prefer Gen. Cass TO any other man, wing OF
democrat, for President. On the other hand,
the editors of the Erpress, Bee, and Bullet
N. are very uncertain gentlemen, declaring
as they do, that "Mr. Clay may have said
he preferred Dir. Cass to any Loco FOco.
They know nothing about what he has SAID,
EXCEPT what is contained in his late letter,
intimating his preference for Mr. Fillmore
as the Wing candidate, and not denying that
be prefers Mr. Cass TO him.
The Bs,lletia and Bee have never yet de-
MED the positive aVerment made by the
Tue DeltG, that Mr.. Clay had written let
ter to this city expressing his wish and hope
that the whig legislature Of this State would
re-elect Gen. Downs to the United States
Senate in preference TO either whip or de.
moorat, an Inconsistency equally as noble
patriotic and national as his preference for
Mr.. Cass to any man living for President.
As for my own veTacity, see no reason
to defend It until attacked more directly and
authoritatiVely, than By the may-bs.so's Of
uncertain newspapers a. B. BACON.
