furthermore wished it understood that he had
nothing to say against Gen. Pierce, for he owed
him greater allegiance than any other man
in California. He held an Office under him
and although the Executive had been urged
to remove him, he was still retained. But
it was a principle with him to 90 against a
second term candidate, and were Gen. Jack
son now in the field he would vote against
him.
The Colonel made an unconnected, dis
jointed, random speech, but wthal infinitely
amusing to both lay and lobby members.
The select committee appointed to inquire
as to the probable time when the Committee
on Credentials would be ready to report, re-
turned at this juncture, and reported indef-
nitely, whereupon sundry motions were
made to adjourn. but for some time the
convention pertinaciously persisted in voting
said motions down.
Finally motion to adjurn until to-mor
row morning at 10 o'clock, was declared
carried by the chairman, and the convention
adjurned until tomorrow morning at 10
o'clock.

Acrs OF THE LAST AssEMBLY.-A writer in the
Wilmington Journal complains that only one volume
of the Acts of the last Legislature has been dstri-
buted, and wants to know what has become Of the
other We have heard the same complaint. And
five rightly informed, the missing volume ought
to contain all the private acts including charters of
railroad companies, &c. Is it possible that these
have not been printed! Or if they have been. what
has become of them !? ray. O6serUeT.
II the Editors of the Observer will turn to the
chapter on Public Printing in the Revised Code,
they will see what the law is on the subject The
private acts under this law not furnished to the
Justices of the Peace There were about six thou
sand volumes Of the public acts printed, and some
five hundred volumes Of the private acts. Consid-
cradle expense, in printing and binding, is thereby
avoided. The Justices are furnished with the Re-
vsed Code, and with the public acts but it was not
considered necessary to supply them with the pri-
vate acts and SO this item of cost is saved to the
State Treasury, The Clerks of the Courts and pub
lie officers generally, are supplied with both the
public and private acts. There are some copies Of
the private acts still for SALE we believe, at the Of
: ice Of the Secretary of State. They can be pro-
cured there, by officers Of corporations and Others
whose interest it is to have them.

MR.. CLINGMAN's ADDRESS.

The Washington Union" of Saturday last con-
tans letter from Mr.. Clngman to his constituents,
on the past and present condition of the country
with reference to the slavery question, which can
not fail to produce marked and lasting effects. It
is among the ablest If not the ablest and most pow
erfn effort Of Mr.. Clingman's long and useful pub.
lie life. We shall publish it soon; and We trust
that, in various ways, it may fall into the hands
of every man in the State. The Washington
Union" says of it.
"None of our readers should fail to give the ad-
dress Of Hon. T. L. Clngman, which we publish this
evening, an attentive perusal. In this address Mr..
Clingman has presented clear, truthful, and con-
else review Of the rise and progress of aboltionism
startling exposition Of the barbarous tyranny and
crueltes Of slavery in the English Indies; the OBJ
jects and aims Of English abolitionsts and the aid
and comfort they calculate upon, and are likely to
receive, at the hands of American abolitonists;
defence of the principles and the expediency of the
Kansas-N Nebraska bill; together with frank and
impartial statement of the real issue which is to en-
ter the next presidential contest and the position of
parties thereon; closing with an earnest and elo-
quent appeal in favor Of the preservation Of the
stituton and the perpetuation Of the Union.
The whole address is marked by that proud and
candid tone for which Mr.. Clingman has ever been
noted, and by that ability which has already given
him national reputation and it will not fail to
commend itself to the confidence rs well as the adj
mraton of his constituency Of the old North State"

SENATOR DOUGLASS REPORT.

We have read with much interest the Report made
by Judge Douglas to the Senate, on the 18th inst,
on Kansas affairs. It is most thorough and elabo-
rate investigation of the principles Of the Kansas
Nebraska act and presents all the facts, showing
the wicked action of the abolitionsts in the terri
tory, and indicating the of President Pierce.
We concur with the Washington Union, that "Judge
Douglas sustans unanswerably the positions on which
all truly national stand in regard to the slavery
question. He has erected bulwark of historical
TRUTH conclusive reasoning and constitutional de-
duction which will defy the attacks of IKE champi-
ons of sectionalism."
The Senate has ordered large number Of copies
Of this Report to be printed. Let it be placed in the
hands Of every citizen of the country.

-R We hear from various portions OF the State
of high-minded, patriotic Whigs who in the strug.
gle now going forward between the national Democ-
racy and the black Republicans, have avowed their
determination to act with the Democratic party the
only really constitutional party in the country The
Hon. Thomas L. Clingman and the Hon. John Kerr
are now both substantially with US; and among 9TH
ers who will doubtless cooperate with us for the
future, we may mention Thomas Loring. Esq, the
able Editor of the Wilmington Commercial-Jona-
than Albertson, Esq., in 1852 the representative Of
Peraumans County in the Commons-William s.
Ransom, ESQ.,, of Warren County-Dr. William
Terry, of Arson County-and George Green, Esq,
a young and rising man, and recently one OF the
Commoners from Craven. Mr.. Green has been ap-
pointed delegate to the Democratic State Conven-
ton by the Democrats and anti-Know Nothings Of
Craven. We are glad to have the aid and co.opera-
ton Of all such Henry Clay Wings. These gentle
have not forgotten that in 1850, Clay aad Cass
Webster and King, and Douglas and Badger, stood
side by side without regard to party feeling in the
great effort then made to settle the slavery question
and save the Union. They feel that the country is
in greater peril now than it was then; and they be-
lieve, as we do, that the only party which may be
able to save it is the Democratic party We should
likewise be gratified to see those honest and we'll
meaning Democrats, who were induced by false pre-
fences to unite themselves with the K. N. party,
come back to their old faith and range themselves
under their old and still glorious and triumphant
banner. Come back, friends There shall be m ore
joy over one sinner that repenteth than over ninety
and nine that need no repentance.

EXCITING DEBATE IN THE SENATE.

81 EXCITING DEBATE IN THE SENATE.
On the l4th instant there was most animsted
and exciting debate in the Senate between Messrs.
Douglas, Trumbull, Crittcnden, and Sumner. Mr..
Trumbul Mr.. Douglass colleague, awaited himself
Of the absence of the latter to reply to his
Report and to assa him generally. Though re-
minded of this discourtesy, Mr.. Trumbull proceeded
Judge Douglas who had entered the Senate cham
Der just before he concluded and scourged the
abolitonist as he only knows how to scourge such
people; and in the Of his remarks he stated
that Know Nothingsm and abolitionism in Illinois
seere one and the same. This brought Mr.. Critten-
den to his feet who avowed that he was " an Amer
ican, and who repealed the charge with scorn."
Judge Douglas very quietly reminded Mr.. Crit
tenden that he had referred to Illinois, and not to
the saveholding States and Mr.. Trumbull followed,
declaring that he was not K. N. Mr.. Crittenden
said no more. Judge Douglas then charged on his
colleague that if not K. n, he had been elected to
his seat by them and the abolitionists combined;
AM, he ntmated pretty strongly that his colleagues
denial would not betaken. He declared that Trum-
bulls claim that he was Democrat was libel on
the Democracy of Ilnois-the Democracy of that
State had no connection, no sympathy with aboli-
tionism in any Of it's forms.
Judge Douglas, though suffering from III health,
bore himself throughout the debate with great pow
er, thoroughly exposing the duplicity and baseness
of abolition K N. Senators, and indicating trium-
phanty his position and that of the Democratic
constitutional party of the country.
