The two Houses of the General Assembly met
yesterday in convention in the Hall of the House Of
Representatives, at u O'Clock NJ to give audience
to the Commissioners from the sovereign States
Of Alabama and Mississippi. There was present
in the galleries and the Hobbies large num-
Der of, citizens, includng quite bevy of
patriotic ladies' The Speaker of the Senate Hon.
T. W. NEWMAN first introduced Hon. L. f. WALKER
Commissioner from Alabama, with an appropriate
welcome, when Gen. WALKER proceeded to address
the Convention in most calm, able and eloquent
manner forcibly stating the grievances OF the
Southern States, clearly discussing the genius OF
our Government and boldly declaring the remedy
for the evil to be separate State action. The Ad-
dress made a profound impression upon the audi
ence and elected from the galleries spontaneous
and irrepressible cheers. - % 81.
The Convention then took a recess Of one hour, at
the close of which it reassembled and the Speaker
of the Senate introduced Gen. T. J. WHARTON, Com
missioner from Mississippi, who delivered grace
full pat4otic and earnest appeal Tennessee, his
native State, powerful in argument and fervent in
eloouence We have the pleasure of publishing
Gen WHARTOxs Address this morning, and refer our
readers to it as being worthy of their most solemn
consideration. Gen. W.pwas also AcheeFea from the
galleries.
Owing to the great length of Gen. Walkers Ad-
dress we have been compelled to postpone its publ
cation until tomorrow morning.

The New York Tribune has the follow conn
nm the admission Of Nav Mnricn.

The New York Tribune has the follow comments
on the admission of New Mexico:
If it be true, as Mr.. Sherman asserts in his reply
TO the invitation TO public dinner in Philadelphia
that slavery never be established in New MeX-
it Is folly TO expect that offering her admission
a slave State will be accepted a sufficient
concession to pacify the South. If it is not true
thatslaveIy can never be established there then the
concession is one the North should never make. In
either case, the proposition is unwise one. cOnced
ing too much for too little and which does lit
tie credit to those who made il. Let il be under
stood and remembered and it ought not to be
sary at this late day to enforce it, that when the
Republican party asserted at the ballot box the
doctrine Of slave territory they meant that
that dictum should apply not only all Territories
belonging 10 the United States now but to all that
by any possibility ever should belong to it They
meant to put this question beyond a peradventure
and 70 give notice to hold good thenceforward
and Yforever that the extension of slavery
whether possible or positive, prohibited
forever. This a good doctrine on which TO 90
through the canvass 1t is equally good a sound
principle Of Government, all believed and
now let us stick TO it. There is no safety for us
elsewhere. Ii is not impossible, though we hope
not probable, that the South may accept the ad-
mission OF New Mexico as a State as a sufficient
compromise. Suppose they do this, will it be be
cause they consider the privilege of carrying slave
rs into that State all they need ask for Not at all
We all of us knew better But It will be because
they welcome concession, whereby the North fails
TO enforce the prneples Oh noneXtenslon OF slavery
trusting to time opportunity to turn shat conces
sion to their own advantage, and the time and the
opportunity will not long be wanting. Admit New
Mexico with the privilege Of holding slaves if she
pleases and there is precedent to plead in favor
of introducing the institution into adjoining States
and at any rate the way is paved for a struggle
new contentious more i'll blood to precipitate the
country at some future time into civil war. more
dire aud more disastrous than in any event be-
fail us now Let us retract nothing, let us not
yield a single inch let us be firm under every pro-
vocation and every threat.
