It will then be a very simple matter to allot to each Slate the num ber of representatives to which it is en- t it Ic'd otnl lo notify the Governor of the same. That brief process is all that is necessary, should tbe Act remain per manent, in order to arrange the trou blesome business of new apportion ments every ten years. The Census Act contains six sched ules, of which an abstract may not be uninteresting: The first relates lo the free inhabi tants, and the name of every one, with his abode on the 1st of June, is to be given.

Why will you persist in dis turbing the quiet, ami periling the peace, and potting in jeopardy the glorious Union, you uow enjoy, hy rushing into so wild, sowanioiv and I had almost said, so wicked a- policy ?” Sir, it is not io he denied ’ that it is this spirit of annexation and conquest, growing by what it feeds on, which has involved us in all our present trou bles, and which threaten, us with still greater troubles in future. We are reaping the natural and just results ol tbe annexation of Texas, and of the war which inevitably followed that an nexation. Wc have almost realized, («S I believe I have somewhere else said,) the fate of the greedy and raven ous bird in tbe old fable. iEsop tells us of an eagle which, in one of its lower ing flights, seeing a bit of tempting flesh, upon an altar, pounced upon it and bore if away iu triumph to its nest. But, by chance, he adds, a coal of fire from the altar was sticking to it at the time, and which set fire to the nest and consumed it in a trice. Aud our Ame rican eagle, sir, has been seen stooping from its pride of place, and hovering over the altars of a weak neighboring power.

The line will in that case, be drawn through Texas and across the Continent to the Pacific. The ohjecr lion, which Mr. Clay and Mr. Cass urge lo it is that, while it restricts slavery north of the line, it leaves it without re cognition south of the line. But. accord ing to the arguments of Mr. Hale, Mr. Mann, and other abolitionists, slavery will be every where adopted where it is not by law excluded. It has been rumored here that the Southern Conven tion, assembled nl Nashville,, wjll con demn Mr. Clay’s plan and recommend the Missouri compromise. Mr. Clay will go for the latter, if the whole South, will unite upon it, and it might be pass ed by both Houses, next week. JOHN H. CHRISTY, EDITOR. Spanish vessels of war were expected in a few days, with a part of the Cuba expedition on bpard, (no doubt those taken on the coast of Yucatan.)

There were three- absentees, Mr. Phelps, Mr. Borland and Mr. Wales, and one vacancy. The result is very satisfactory. Mr. Whitcomb and Mr. Cooper voted for the Proviso under in structions, but will vole for Mr. Clay’s adjustment bill. Mr. Turney, of Tennessee, who has been supposed to be hostile to the ad justment, declared his purpose, yester day, to vole for it. Mr. Spruauce, of Delaware, will vote for it. The friends nf the adjustment are now more confi dent of its succss in the Senate than they have hither to been. Mr. Tur ney yesterday said, that there were Havana prevented what would no j dollars, robbed from the Royal Treasu- doubt have been otherwise a bloody J ry of Spain.

We have had the pleasure nf a visit from John Blake, Esq., agent of the Georgia Emigration Company, of Lou don, who has been sent over for the purpose of examining their landsin Irwin county, in this State, and reporting'the most favorable plan for bringing them into immediate use. We have also been permitted to examine Mr. Blake’s report and have received from him much in formation as to the views and design! of the Company, which, if carried Out, must result in much good to our beloved State. The Company now owns about 150,000 acres of land, in one body in Irwin county, and Mr. B. has been in structed to examine it particularly as regards its adaptation lo the culture of cot ton j and the advantage it posseses for the manufacture of that article. Mr. Blake strongly recommends the latter project, nnd justly remarks that Irwin county lies in one of the best cotton growing sections of the State, and that Baker, Lee, Thomas, and Dooly, four of the counties adjoining it, would furn ish more cotton than the Company, howercr extensive, would ever require, including a large proportion ot long staple cotton. As to the quality of the lauds belonging to the Company, he remarks that, with reasonable industry, they can be made available for almost part of the body under Lofiez, J were shot at Matanzas a few days pre cise. _ Washington, June 6. j v ious to the sailing of the Merchant.— Thc Senate, as you will see from the j Four G f the number were said to be papers of this morning, have at length Scotch and Irish, and one ah American, taken the question on the amendments ^ b v who SJaletl lo lhe last that he lo tbe leuth. section of the adjustment /j 0 j nec | the expedition under the impres- bill.

Since the sffnir at Cardenas, says the Savannah Republican, mnch has been said and written in condemnation of this ill-tated undertaking. Men who were silent before, or “ damned (it) with faint praise,” are loudest in their denunciations since it* failure has been ascertained. Many of the northern papers especially, which stand by Douglass and Garrison when tbev spit upon tbe Bible and tbe constitution, and preach treason and infidelity, denominate it an expedition of bucca neers and free-bootera—Lopez is execrated as a second Lafitte, and his followers are classed with pirates and robbers. The men who thus preach and denounce, nevertheless tolerate in their midst ' abolition incendiaries, who we showed some months ago are worse than pirates. They foster among themselves a brood of atheists .agrarians, socialists, anti-renters, and ravilers ot tho scriptures upd tho constitution. They stand by and hold up the hands of a Senator in the U. S. Semte, who says there «s a law above the constitution which autho rizes him to disregard his oath. Where such sen timents prevail, it is not surprising that a pnbtic reception should be awarded to a prize fighter, aa was done in New York when Tom Hyer returned from his conquest over Yankee Sullivan, or thpt riots and robberies anJ arson should be matters of Gaily occurrence. We do not mean to defend tbe expedition. On tbe contrary, we condemn it as rash, and immoral. undertaken in violation of the laws and treaties of the United States; and our Government did right in seeking to suppress it. Had the Presi dent failed to use all the power of tbe Government to break up the expedition while it wac within tbe jurisdiction ol the United Slates, or to stop-it any where upon tbe high seas outside tbe waters cf Cuba, three leagues from shore, it would have been a gross dereliction of positive duty and a vio lation of our national flag. This is plain to every; n who knows any thing of the laws ot nations, who is conversant with the statutes and treaties of this country. We will further add—that we think the inva ders were unfortunate in tbe selection of a leader. Gen. Lopez bas performed many brilliant deeds in the course of his eventful career, but it was alarays in a subordinate capacity, where his only duty was to execute what other beads had planned.— Like Soult, he perlorms his part when it is pointed out to him. The immaturity of his late plans, the smallness of the number with which he attempted to revolutionize a large and populous island, and bis flight from the city which he had conquered in eighteen hours after landing, without giving tbe- resident population time to come lo bis assistance- or reinforcements to reach him trom tbe Stater, must satisfy every one of bis unfitness, notwith standing his courage, to direct such a movement- many at!vantages would accrue from a division oflnicrest between agriculture and manufactures, as each would in turn consume a large portion of of products of the other. Mr. B. B. concludes his report with a glowing description of the naiurat advantages Georgia possesses .over most of the other Stales of the Union-—the numerous facilities for reaching our tea-board, nnd the safety with which vessels can arriye and depart with their golden treasures at nil times and seasons.— We hope that Mr. B*s report will be fa vorably received by the company he represents,-and that all his anlirnpations of success and -happiness in Georgia may be fuUy realized.—Sav.

At the time v press intelligence of its final action has not reach ed us; though it is confidently asserted that the Clay Compromise will be repudiated, and that r lutioos in favor ot the Missouri Compromise be unanimously adopted as the Southern platform.
