The Democracy Of Susquehanna county,

Monday evening, at which . resolution
was adopted to invite the Hon. David
"ilmot to address the meeting. He
complied with this request, and, among
other things, spoke thus:
He spoke of his own political life in Con-
gress, and of his devotion while there, to the
principles of freedom and said that the spirit
within was still unfettered by the dictation of
Southern aristocracy. lie spoke of Douglas s
Nebraska bill as a repeal Of the Missouri Com
promise, and an opening anew of those agita-

LATER FROM TEXAS,

The steamship Mexico arrived at New
Orleans on the 30th ult., with news from
Texas to the Goth.
The following items are from the Gal
weston papers:
A bill originatingin the Senate, making
appropriation of one hundred and twenty
five thousand dollars, to pay that portion
of the second class debt of the late Re-
public of Texas, which has been audited
and allowed, passed the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The Austin State Times, in answer to
several interrogations from abroad, as to
the value and quality of lands in the
neighborhood of Austin, has obtained the
following information in reply:
Land, in the immediate vicinity of the
city is worth from $40 to $25 per acre,
according to the quality, location, timber,
&C., (unlmproved) say from one to ten
miles from the city. Bottomland on the
river is held at from $50 to SIS per acre,
unimproved.
Improved land is worth from $40 to
$35 per acre, all the way down the Co.
dorado to Matagorda county.
In the counties of Williamson, Burleson,
Milan, Bell, Falls, &C., land can be pur-
chased at prices ranging from 81 to $40
per acre.
At Houston the receipts of cotton had
been light for the week, and until mild
weather shall set in, transportation by
teams must be expected to be difficult for
want of grass on the roads. The in
activity in shipping business will there
fore, we apprehend, continue for some
time, and throw the greater part of bust
ness into an unusually late period.

Such an audience as assembled to
greet Forrest last evening at the National
Theatre, has not often assembled, for any
purpose, in the City of Washington.
That most eapacious house was filled
from floor to ceiling. The character OF
the audience, too, was such as to render
it worthy of the brilliant and extraordi-
nary performance of the great actor.
q Hamlet" in his hands. became o very
different character from that usually given
to us in Shakspeare's melancholy prince.
Itwas delineation of eminent grace and
dignity, Astounding in beautiful points,
striking effects, and original readings.
During this long and protracted play,
the crowded house listened in breathless
silence, save when the intense excite
ment Of the scene, and the thrilling
power of the actor elected irrepressible
and repeated cheers. We cannot refrain
IN this connection, from doing justice to
the admirable company of MIR. Marshall,
IN the powerful support rendered to Mr..
Forrest on last evening. Mr.. Perry, who
played Laertes, is rising young actor !;
and, with care, will soon be a great
favorlte. Mrs. Duffield, Mr.. A'Becket,
Mr.. McDonough, and Mr.. Hale, are ster-
ling actors. Tonight Mr.. Forrest ap-
pears as Richelieu part which he
has made peculiarly his own, and which,
oy common consent, has become, in his
hands, one of the most successful, in
structlve, and startling exhibitions of
dramatic genius. Bulwer would think
his tame immortal could he see Forrest
as the willy old Cardinal.

VENIsoN.-The quantities of this game
brought to and passing through this city
during the past few weeks, is altogether
without precedent. We are told that
the number frequently reaches as high as
fifty or sixty Fer day. 1t is said that
the great fires which ragged in the woods
IN central and southern Michigan during
the first part of December drove the deer
down in this direction, and this is supposed
to be the cause of their being so much
more plenty than ever before. Five and
SIX are often killed by single hunter in
one day; In fact the woods for fifty miles
north are little less than grand slaugh-
ter yard for those animals. Toledo

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.

The InteLtigencer contains statistics
concerning the culture of sugar and cot
ton in Louisiana, and an argument against
Mr.. Churchwell's steamship mail service
bill. The writer of the latter paper
freely admitting that action on the prin-
ciple of the bill will be well indeed for
the public interest, argues that it is out
of the question on account of the steam
ships if taken by the Government. He
Is wrong. The Government, under the
contracts may, at any moment, terminate
the contracts by taking certain of the
ships of each company at valuation to
be made by sworn appraisers. The Gov.
eminent may then sell the ships at pub
lie auction on the next day. Why need
there be loss on such transaction?
The Union joins issue with the Inteli-
geneer's article of yesterday, deprecating
the supercedure of the Missouri compro-
mise, saying, among other things
- The Intelligencer is especially exercised
by the announcement in the New Hampshire
Patriot, copied into our paper, that the Nebraska
bill Is an . administration measure" but its
personal regard for the President is so great
that 1t would be grieYed still more if it could
believe the announcement was true. We are
sorry to be the cause of pain to our venerable
neighbors, but the disagreeable necessity is
forced upon US Of overwhelming them with
regret by informing Thorn distinctly that Pres
ldent Pierce stands firmly and unequivocally
upon the great democratic principle of con-
greSsional non-interyention, and that upon tn nj
principle he hopes to see the slavery agitation
forever settled by the establishment of the
Compromise of 1850 al final settlement. He
cannot see, any more than other patriotic
statesmen. why principle 50 sound SO lust
20 democratic, should encounter the hostility
of any man who believes that the people arr
capable of selfgoyernment.'
