In common with other papers in this city. we
repuhlished, some days since, an article from
the Journal Of Commerce, New York, stating
that bill for 81 600, drawn by a purser Of a
United States ship on the Pacific coast upon
the Department at Washington, endorsed by the
commander. and cashed at San Francisco, was
refused payment, and that 1t was returned TO
California in consequence Of deficiencies In the
appropriations, or dsarangement in the affairs
of some particular office. We learn that this
statement is entirely erToneouS-that there is
no such deficiency IN the appropriations for the
naval service as prevents compliance with
obligations to public creditors; nor has there
been any refusal 10 pay the draft of 4 purser,
or other Officer having authority to raise money
for the naval service. On inquiry, we are un-
able 10 hear of any recent transaction which
could give rise to such i runor.

senator Clemens.

The interest with which recent events have
invested the charge of bargain and corruption
made against Senator CLEMENS, has called forth
4 letter from Mr.. b. III. BAKER, formerly a
member Of the Alabama Legislature. and the
secretary of the Wing caucus to which Mr..
CLEMEHs's promise is said to have been made.
This letter susanS the denial already published
by Mr.. CLEMENS, and raises an unequivocal
issue Of veracity with Messrs. BUFoRD and
Mccall, who have been relied upon as witnesses
in support of the charge. Mr.. BAKER declares
that he was present during the whole sitting of
the caucus, that he saw and heard every thing
of moment that transpired, and that no such
strip Of paper as the one'' attributed to Mr.
CLEMENS = was produced or read to the eau
Gus" g nor was there one read nearly OF ex-
actly like it," Mr.. BAKERS position in the
caucus enables him to make this statement with
emphasis and propriety.

From the FRANKFORT (Ky.) Commonwealth

The following paragraph is part of telegraphc
despatch which appears in the New York Tribune,
dated Louisville, February Goth:
"The delegates to the Wing Convention contend
that il not intended that Fillmore should be
recommended TO the Presidency by that body.
The matter was discussed and compromise was
effected, by agreeing TO resolution simply en-
dorsing Mr.. Fillmore's course as President"
Everybody who attended the convention knows
that there is no truth in this statement, and VIC
cannot believe that any delegate ever authorized
this despatch. We should like to know by whom
il was concocted and sent. The fact is, that the
Wing delegates in that convention did intend 10
recommend Mr. FILLMORE for the Presidency and
they did so recommend him, unanimously and en-
dramatically, and knowing thoroughly what
they doing they knew that they them
selves were live men and not dead.
There are two truths connected with this matter
Of the Presidency, which Wing politicians every.
where should understand, viz: |. That Pres-
dent FILLMORE is the first and decided choice of
the Wing party OF Kentucky; and. 2. That that
party will not be content with the nomination of
General ScoTT unless he takes openly the position
in which the present Administration stands in re-
laton TO the Compromise, and takes il soon.

eating Southern Dirt

This is the phrase by which Mr.. RASToUL,
4 Democratic Representative from Massachu
SETS has seen tit 10 describe what the Consu
tuiional Union party, and a very large proper
ton Of Wines aud DEMOCRATS ia the North
ern States. consider as an honest regard for the
constitutional rights of the South. If this Were
an indecorous expression merely. when applied to
gentlemen associated with the speaker in public
affairs; or il il came from n coarse and vulgar
man, who could give utlersnce 10 his sentiments
only in extreme aud offensive language it would
not be- worth a comment But Mr.. RlNTouL
is a highly educated aud cultivated person, Of
great experience in affairs, OF high political and
respectable professional position, most adroit
aud subtle debater, and perhaps the ablest DEMo
CRATIC leader from the Northern States. When
Nj RANrouL, therefore, can find no less mali
cous and offensive mode Of describing difference
Of opinion on constitutional or legislative ques-
tons than as q difference between a disposition
and an indisposilion to eat southern dirt. IT be-
comes a matter u significance. and deserves a
lIiilo consideration.
v
tiucily, in his speech in the House Of Repre-
sen,atives, on the 9Th instant. as to leave us in
no manner Of doubt as TO what he understands
/ Jy eating southern dirt" lie has gone into
I the rationale Of ihe process; and that we may
/ DO him no injustice. We shall cite SO much Of
/ the speech in which the phrase occurs as may be
necessary 10 illustra,eit From this II IL obvious
that not 10 be- an abolitlOnst, out and out is in
Mr. RANTorL's Judgment 10 eat southern
/ dirt" TO believe that the men who framed
/ the law 81 1913 for the extraditon Of slaves
understood the Constitution, is " 10 eat south
cm dirt" To believe that the Supreme Court
| have rightly construed that law, and the
constitutional provision on which It * based, 10
.to eat southern dirt" Not to believe that
! the Constitution leaves the exlradltion Of slave,
to the States this, too, against the deci-
sons Of the courts and the course Of the Ma
| tIonal Legislature from 1893 10 lsj2-is g to
eat southern dirt" To prefer, in any con
tingency, the purchase Of the southern slave
property 10 civil war, is "to eat southern
dirt"
Let us see " we have OvrrSiated the las'
proposition. Mr. B,NroUL says, in effect, that
IT the Constitution continues 10 be interpreted

gisation oi Congress on the cNtradition oi

| II everybody at the North would let il alone
which no man can promise, it would be quoted
The other would be to talk about it like reasonable
men. Take II up as you take up any other great
national interest and try to get at tho merits of it,
When you do that, it will be then as quietly APP

The Union Party and the Baltimore Con-
veMtiOM.
The call issued by the Georgia Central Com
mitiee, for a convention OF the Union party to
| consider the propriely of sending delegates to
| the Baltimore Convention, forms the subject Of
warm controversy amongst the journals in that
State friendly to the objects of the new organi-
zauon. The current of feeling is apparently
against the call, and not few of the most in
iluential pens dispute the authority of the com
| mltee to make it. The only authority of that
| body to act is derived from resolution of the
| Legislative caucus lately held at Milledgeville,
and that resolution simply provides that a con
vention shall be called "to take into consideration
the next Presidential contest" with no reference
to either of the National Conventions The
| Macon jGa.) Journal and Messenger atfirms
that the call, as it is now published, sis not
| approved of by some of the gentlemen whose
names are attached TO it," and therefore con
cludes that the Objectionable phraseology was
| inadvertently adopted.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Republican remarks:

is, perhaps, too severe but it shows that the peo-

to Rantoul, Sc We heard one of the most respect
able men in Georgia say, to use his own words. 'it
is simply ridiculous" This he said to dis
tinguished member of the last Legislature, who
agreed with him entirely. The conversation,
of which the above was part, We heard on
the cars coming up from Augusta. There was
considerable conversation among passengers on the
subject, and we were glad to perceive strong dis

organizing Of the Union party at the time it was
organized those reasons must exist until there il

Congress acknowledged our rights, but it remains
for their constituents to ratify that action; and the
