And it was equally true, ho. believed, that a large majority, if not all those from the North, who went for tbe acquisition; did so with'the view and for the purpose of having it devoted mid:set apart exclusively, as they avowed, for freedom. He (Mr. S.) had opposed the acquisition from the beginning—not only because he con sidered it the illegitimate fruits of of wanton aggression, but be-r. cause he foresaw the evils which would inevitably grow out of the conquest, in consequence of the radical difference of opinion between those distinct divi sions ol the Democratic party, who joined in the prosecution of the war for the purpose of conquest.

Sir, (said Mr. Stephens.) in. this House, more than three years ago, when this war was in full blast, when the thiyst for conquest and. dominion was aj its greatest rage, I warned members from the ?fi>rth and South to take heed, lest in their eager pursuit after the dismem berment of a neighboring Republic, they might have tbe unenyiabJc-distinc- tion of looking back 1 upon the*broken fragments of another and a more glori ous'Confederacy^ The warning was not heeded—tbe acquisition was made. I opposed it in the beginning—I oppos ed it in all its stages, and l expect-1 shall oppose it to the end. I have nev er seen any good to result from it, but mischief incalculable. I am willing to stand the lest of the future upon the propriety of my course throughout.— My motto at first was, “to touch not, taste not. and handle not” the unholy thing, I never voted a dollar for these, territories; and I think it was a solemn dory on the part of all well-wishers for the peace and harmony of the country to have withheld the latification of the treafy by which the acquisition was proposed to be made, until all these perplexing questions which now distract and divide the countrj' were settled and adjusted. I opposed the ratification of the treaty on the part of this House by voting the money.

Aw'd the re solution was rejected by a vole of 76 to 88. If the southern Democrats had then voted wijth him and those who were op posed to all acquisition of territory, we might aow be relieved from those ques tions which are likely to disturb the peace and quiet nf the Union for all time to come, and which -all now see will, in eVery reasonable probability, prove so disastrous to the South. This vote, loo, was given not only after the Wilmot proviso had passed the Hoose by a sectional majority, but after the exten sion of tbe Missouri compromise line had been expressly repudiated by a similar majority? It would be recollected tha| iu August, 1846, within or about ninety days irom the commencement of the war, when Hie then President asked for two millions of dollars to. purchase these territories, 'the Wilmot proviso was first sprung upon the country by the gentleman from Pennsylvania [Mr. scried by many, yea a large majority,'* THET ADVEETI8K ' of the Northern as well as Southern Whigs. Some stood by 'me. My col league (Mr.-Toombs) and a few others I see here, voted with me against the ap propriation. But the measure was car ried. The treaty was sanctioned by all the departments of the Government.— No understanding or settlement’of the vexed questions was had. All was left open—the South declaring, rightly an'd justly, that she should have an equal participation, while the North was firm in the declaration that it was free terri tory and should remain free. And we are now-quarreling about our ill-gotten plunder. This is thq spectacle we pre sent. If we had. come to a distinct un-. demanding ..at fir*!, we;, should have, had none' of these difficuhies. The gentleman from Mississippi (Mr. Thomp son,) said the other day that the honor of the acquisition belonged ta his pat ty. This 1 fully believe. If there be any honor in the achievement, they are welcome to it, for me. And 1 agree with him that the main responsibility ot settling these questions rests with the same party. It would have rested with them entirely, if the Whigs had maiiir tained their integrity to the last. But* sir, a majority of them joined in the con summation of the measure. I regret ted to see it, and regret more now to see them, after having done so, abandoning the principles of justice, right and equal ity, and claiming the \sdmte of the territo ries to t he exclusion ol the South.

Although we are not. prepared to dorse the opbpon^of the editorsthat seven-tenths of the peoj Compromise, .we do most cordially endorse-the recommendation to hold^ county meetings. the people of Georgia, in this momentous crisis, that their opinions should be authoritatively expressed. Two Compromises are now offered— hand, the. old one, under which tbe Union.has been held together for the last thirty years, and on the other, the. plan of adjustment reported by tho Senate's committee. It is “ meet and proper” that the people of the South should, through county meetings, give full expression to their op nions, and if they are in favor of either plan, signify which the) prefer. this recommendation of county meet ings, we do not wish to be understood a* giving countenance to the ridiculous caucuses which have too often disgraced both parlies—caucuses where “cut and dried”'resolutions, ready-made, have been adopted by a few leading office-seekers, and at whicli the people were simply called in to give some appearance.of respectability to the pro ceedings. We want bona fide county meetings, composed of the real people, at which their senti ments may be, fully ascertained. If they prefer the Missouri Compromise, let them say so; or if they are belter pleased with the Committee’s plan ] of adjustment, let them indicate such preference. We observe that a meeting 6f tbe people, with out distinction of party, ratifying tbe action of the Nashville Convention, has v been already held in Walker—while meetings have been called for Cobb,’Richmond, Hancock, and other counties, to be held to-day. -This is as it should be—let all the counties speak, tbpt the real sentiments of the people inay be known..

We find the following sensible and truthful re marks on the importance ot the proposed pUnk road between, this place and Clarkesville, in the fast number of. the ?Bgis. After noticing the pro- ceedings of tho meeting at this place, and com- mending the spirit evinced on that occasion, the Editor proceeds—‘‘ This question of constructing a Plank Road to Clarkesville is to os a vital oue, and to construct it from Athens to Clarkesville is a vital question to Athens. Let no man deceive himself into the belief that Athens will not be ru- ' ined by the building of this’Road to Anaefsqm-* Already Athens has been tapped on the West by the extension of the Georgia Rail Road, and if the will fold her, arms and sit silent and passive, and permit herself- lo be deprived, of the trade Jrom the North and East," her commercial prosperity will be numbered among the things that have been—and. are.; h’ot. We say this in no unkind spirit, but b is a glaring truth, us plain is “ the hand-writingon the waif’ that caused the knees of BeKesbaxzar to smite each other. “ W® call upon the friends of Atliens, ihe own ers of real estate, and the owners of siock in tbe Georgia Rail Road, to bestir themselves, tor if tl»e Plank.

Our sec tion of tbe State has largely contributed to the present prosperity of Augosta, twl their relusal to aid us'in this undertaking is an evidence that the sin of ingratitude has found a'genial clime in Au gusta, and our effort tb connect ourselves'more di rectly with them is an object of its exhibition.— Augosta may yet iearn, that here as elsewhere M poverty and pride” are united. . Charleston and Savannah are her great rivals." Augusta hills felt some—Abe mayjTeel more. We yet hope that ber enterprising citizens will make a rally and come to the rescue. Come, gentlemen, no dodging behind tbe City Council, show your hands. - “\\e again say that the people of Athena have manifested the right spirit, and vre have seen with ordinary feelings of pleasure, that some of the most distinguished sons of Georgia participated in its proceedings/’ - The meeting at Clarkesville to-day will, we pro- line, determine the routo of the road. .In making, their decisiop, the up-country people will, of coarse, be guided by a deStfeto promote their own interests as far as possible. .It the' people of South Carolina offer superior inducements, the road will terminate'at Anderson, and the fate of Athens, commercially, will be sealed. We fear that all citizens—-and particularly some of tboee’ most vitally interested—notwithstanding the great amount of feeling expressed, have not /cZt in tbe. right way—they have failed to feel in llUir pockets;; but, if the road fails here and goes to Anderson, they will feel there, and feel acutely, too. tf The Washington correspondent of the Charleston Courier gives the history of the difficul ties in New Mexico, as follows. We are not surprised al the information that, last month', Maj. Monroe, the Military Governor ol New Mexico, issued an order for an election of Delegates to a Convention for the purpose ol fram ing a State Constitution. The history of the mat ter is this: In 1848, Mr. Marcy, Secretary of War, instructed the Military commander in New Mexi co not to permit any opposition to be made to the' exercise by Texas, of jurisdiction over the terri tory claimed by’hcr. Next an order was issued in 1849, rescinding the former order. Last au tumn, instructions-were given to Major Monroe \ to promote and facilitate the adoption, by the ^ people, of a State Government. The people ^ djd . not however, wish a State Government *UUllime, and ttty appnoff'tb^iliigiuw fcA — Territorial Government, and elected a Delegate, Mr. Hugh N. Smith. Congress did not recognize Mr. Smith, and Texas had sent "» certain John S. Neighbors,” as a Commissioner to organize the Sante Fe district into counties, as a part of Texas. Mr. Smith advised bis constituents very eanestly, five months ago, to adopt a State government. This, it seems,-they have determined to do. They apply for admission, as a State, either at this or at the next session, and in the mean time resist any attempt by Texas to increase her jurisdiction in New Mexico. But the President has, to prevent any trouble between Texas and New Mexico, decided to hold possession of the disputed territory, ■ until the dispute be decided by competent authority.— The southern boundary line of New-.Mexico, as stated by‘Major Monroe, is about a league north of El Paso. ’ “I have no idea that Congress will listen to the application of. the people of New; Mexico,-for ad mission a* a State into the Union. There are on ly five hundred Americans in. the country--the rest of the population consisting of Indians and .a few persons of Spanish descent.” y-> Washington, June 93.; | Intelligence -was yesterday received here’ that Col. Munroe, the Military Governor of New.Mexi- conformity withthe order from the War Department of Nov. IT, 1849. called a Convention Tor the purpose or forming a State Constitution, and by another dispatch, it was made known that the Convention had met and completed their wbrk, by adopting a Constitution prohibiting slavery.— Although that had been for some time expected, it produced some sensation among members in the Southern Democratic ranks. Mr. Foote offered a resolution of inquiry, in tbe Senate, and pronounced the movement a high-handed, measure of assomp- tion—an attempt to settle by the sword a question which was now the subject of deliberation in this body. As the resolution was likely to give rise to a debate that would interfere with the Adjustment bill, it was permitted to lie over. The application for the admission of New- Mex ico, as a State, will be here in a month. We had a rumor here, yesterday, that Texas had raised 2500 men to assert ber authority fhr New Mexico. This was verified by a dispatch Mm Mr: Calhoun, U. S. Indian Agent at Santa Fe, staling that Major Neighbours would return in Jaly from Texas, with a large military force, and proceed to establish the jurisdiction of Texas. Mr. Calhoun correctly advises that the government should inter fere «nd settle the question-in fin amicable n The subject was yesterday before the Cabinet. An additional force of six hundred troops ^has been ordered trorn several military depots to fill up the- H» New Mexico. - It is thought that the. urgency of this matter wllj expedite action by Congress upon^the Senate’ ad. of Texas.
