ballotng. 1t would take no part in elecsing any
man who would not oppose the administration and
its free soil appointments.
sent you yesterday the resolutions introduced in
both branches of the Legislature, by Messrs. Irwin
and Pope in regard to the spols policy of the ad
mir istration, and remarked that there was consde
rabe debate in the Senate the motion to print the
resolutions for the use Of that body. Messrs. Pope,
Hall, Stephens, Miller, Moseley, Ridley, and Dunno
gan participated in the dicussion in favor of the
ton, and Messrs. Ssurgis and McGeehee in opposi
ton to it. The latter Senators, who are Of course
Southern rights democrats though no good could
that it would be useless expense to print the reso
lutiOns; that it did not become the Legislature OF
Georgia to interfere in the war Of "sheils" in New
York; and that it was improper for Senators Of this
State to undertake to pass judgment upon the policy
of the federal administration or to take cognzance
OF the manner in which the general government is
conducted. Mr.. Sturgis even went 30 far as to say
that it was matter OF indifference with him who
filed the posts of collector of customs in New York
or else where at the North for that both parties at
the North were unsound.
1t was replied on the other side that if no good
came Of the introduction of the resolutions harm
would nor would it be o needless expenditure OF
money to print them. The resolutions on the table
did not propose to interfere In the local contests of
New York; they simply expressed, SO far as the d.
visions OF that State were concerned the sympathies
OF Southern men for these patriots at the North who
had stood by our rights. 1t was certainly not i'm
proper to encourage our friends and hold up their
hands in the contest they are wagiDg against our
mics. AS TO the official conduct Of the admins
tration i, right and becoming for the Legislature
of Georgia to speak its sentiments. She was So
yereign State and part of the Federal Union, in.
eressed in the honor and welfare OF the country and
the wise adm nistration of its laws and it was not
only the right but the duty of the Legislature to give
expression 70 her feelings.
The motion to print prevailed Though the gre
body Of the democratic Senators voted in the mega
tive, there were yet exceptions enough to carry the
motion.
MnLEDGEvILLE, Nov. 10, 1853.
No effort was made in the Senate this morning to
reconsider that portion Of yesterdays journal relating
to the postpor ement Of tie election of United States
Senator movement Of the kind was expected
from the friends OF Mr.. Mcdonald. For the pfese mt
the cleo ion stands postponed.
Mr.. Mcdonald has left the capital ia a towering
rage at the result. His triumph, like the Dead Sea
fruits has turned to ashes upon his lips. He so far
forgot himself yesterday as to get into angry alterca
ton with democratic Senator who voted to post
pone the election and attempted to reproach him for
SO doing, in violent and undignifed manner.
Mr.. Cobb has also left town. 1t is understood that
he counseled his friends to sustain the nominakion
OF Mr. Mcdonald This some of them have refused
to do, not merely from feeling OF Disappointment
but because they detest his principles. Mcdonald
was the President of the Nashville Convention-a
fact which they can never forget if Mr.. Cobb cam
While have no regrets to express at Mr. Cobb's
overtbrow-for he brought it upon himself cannot
but fte some concern that he should have been de-
feated because he had stood by the Union The
Southern Rights men hate him with vehemence
have never seenequalled, and it will require long
years OF submission and patience and wearisome
vice ne conquer their preudices and reinstate
himself in his party. Naaman was made to dip
seven times in the river of Jordan before he was
made clean.

The Washington InfeH gencer of the oath instant
says In the Eastern papers which reached us yes
terday we notice telegraphc despatch, stating that
Hon. jeremiah Clemens had been reelected Sena-
tor in Congress from the State Of Alabama The
time appointed by the House of Representatives for
going INFO an election, but, it being Thanksgiving
day, the Senate refused to concur, and passed re
solution to elect to morrow (the 25th). This was
probably agreed to by the House. 1t devolves on the
present Legislature Of Alabama to elect two United
States Senator's and, they will Of course be de-
mocIats, If we were not apprehensive OF damaging
the prospects of Mr. Clemens, we should not hesitate
to express hope that the announcement of his cleo
ton already made is but the forerunner of the event.
The democratic members, who have large majority
In the Legislature, held caucus last Thursday even

California Citizens In Congress.
1t Is curious fact that in the next Congress there
will be half dozen members from other States, who
are really citizens Of California. Among these are
Caleb Lyon, of New York, Extra Billy Smith, Of
Virginia, and John Wethered, of Maryland; the for
ner of whom was elected to the New York Assem-
bly,, from Lewis county, when nelg ibe, and the Two
latter were candidates for the United States Senate
but two ears ago in California, and only returned
from that State one year Cor ess) ago. and who were
only in their native States on a visit.
