JACKSON, Sept H. 1854
GENTLEMEN: | had the honor to receive by last mail
your letter of the 4h instant inviting me- in behalf of the
people OF Caswel county TO public dinner 10 be given
by them to the Hon. John Kerr the 2sth of this month";
las testimonial OF their personal regard and in token Of
their appreciation of his the bill to organize the
Territories of Nebraska and Kansas at the late session of
Congress.
1t would give me great pleasure to unite with tile peo-
pie of Caswell in paying tribute of respect justly due
to their distinguished representative for his firm udepend
emit and patriotic course upon the important measures to
which yop have reference regret however that shall
not be able to be present Circumstances of which you
aware require me to wind up my professional business as
speedily possible and shall at the time stated be
sarily engaged upon the superior court circuit
Salutary principles established by the passage of
the Kansas and Nebraska brs that for the future Con-
gess not to interfere in questions of establishing
prohibiting slavery IN the Territories of the United States
secondly, that the future existence non-exsence OF
slavery in these Territories depend upon the action
of the people nhabtug the lands far they have
to act upon the subject in their territorial govern
men and at all events when they into the Union
States
But whatever difference of opinion there may have been
touching the policy of passing these acts think hazard
little in saying that upon the maintenance Of the principles
involved in them depends the future existence of this
glorious Union.
| 1t is but 100 evident however, that effort is being
made by deluded fanatics and designing politicians at the
North to build up purely sectional party, based upon
principle but that OF opposition to slavery as existing
among the people of the South
II remains to be whether this effort will be
full 1t is TO be hoped it will be but yet the signs of
the times to favor it.
1t behooves the southern States to this organization
and resist it, emperately but firmly and let add uni
teddy
We have the vantage ground let maintain it by
united strength and united counses with the hope that
there will be found enough Of good sense moderation and
patriotism among the people of the North eventually tc
set things right
Should we fail IN this then all we have do is to stand
upon rights and determine 10 maintain them at every
| hazard.
| have the honor to remain, gentlemen, very truly and
respectfully, your obedient servant,

II was this principle that popuarzed both OF the terri
toria bills OF that session The in favor of the Utah
bill was almost unanimous. The bill for New Mexico
would have been equally favored if il had been free from
other serious objections which would be out of place for
me to enumerae here VIII il be pretended that this great
principle OF popular sovereignty that this truly American
principle was recognised only for the convenience OF the
momentf Certainly not Common sense repudates the
idea OF hnal adjustment of momentous question
any such restricted basis This principle is existing
living principle and acknowledges permanent author
ty but the constitution of the United States and that the
real question is should not the bill organizing The Terrific
res OF Kansas and Nebraska have been made conform
to this principle, or in the language of the bill itself
should not the law of the Missouri Compromise be far
repealed as 1t found to be inconsistent with the
promise measures of 1852
This is the gst OF the agitation the North and let the
design of the agitation be covered yelled their wit
ingenuity may suggest yet it be apparent TO all who
give the least examination that ii is against the Compro-
mise of ls50-it is against that nal adjustment that
they are now warning. My mind is definitely fixed
upon this point and only remains in doubt upon
other and Interior question: which overdes in Importance
all other matters II is this when the struggle shall come
to an issue will we of the South be united As far as
North Carolina is concerned feel proud in believing that
She from the mountains TO the seacoas will faithfully
proudly energeucay, reecho the patriotic sentiment of
your etter'that this occasion the South should be a
unit And with your permission propose the following
sentiment "The union of the South for the sake of the

AFFAIRS IN VENEZUELA.
We have received from Caracas copy OF the
journal of the debates in the House of Representa-
tives Of the nth uiimo. A law On the ownership
of mines was then under the consideration OF that
body. One section of this law is worthy Of notice
By is the Executive gives TO the owner perpetual
right in his mine. allowing him to sell or otherwise
dispose of it as he may think fit, and this can b
done without the necessity of any previous author
cation from the Executive. The law is liberal
and viii do doubt be popular one.

MEXICO AND THE TREATY.-The recent arri-
walls from Mexico have not been fruitful in news
from that extinct republic and empire in EMBRYO
In fact, at this season of the year, nothing of
much Importance ever transpires, when the peo-
pie in the vast rural districts are busy with
their crops. The rains, as we'll as the loss of
men and provisions, caused Santa Anna to re-
treat fromsshe South, thoroughly disguised With
his want of success. But as he had ANTICIPATED
returning as victor, his triumphal entry into
the capital was prepared for him, and had to
come OF according to the programme, although
he cut but sorry figure in the performance as
conqueror, when he brought no spoils or
prisoners, and left nearly all his army in the
hands of the enemy. His rival, Gen. Alvarez,
is also at this time without an army, for his fol-
lowers have turned their swords into hoes, and
are now busy in their cornfelds. In other parts
Of Mexico the same state Of things prevails, nor
will it be broken till late in the autumn. when
the harvests are gathered with which to feed an
army at time when no work in the fields is re-
quired.
Santa Anna has therefore respite for few
months from revolutions, unless some are i'm
provised in the cities. In the meantime. he can
turn his attention to the Gadsden treaty and
other measures, whereby he may hope to raise
funds for the fall and winter campaigns. It
does not appear that as yet he has rejected the
treaty, nor even proposed an amendment, but
rumor has prevailed that he has suggested a
modification, which, taken with the fact of the
recent arrival of Senior Rafael at Washington
as bearer of dispatches from him, may Indicate
an intention of that nature. Senior Rafael is
one of those ubiquitous characters, as we'll as
universal geniuses, whom Santa Anna would de-
light to employ, If not to honor or enrich. The
Senior is an editor OF the monarchical paper in
Mexico-halffor the church. half for SAINT aAnna

is equal to the two former He is also Mex
