BtHutton demand that liis conduct should be investigated, at the instance of tho branch ot the Government holding the power of im peachment. Resolved, That in the emergency in which the State of Texas Is placed by her relations with the General Government, she has the sympathies of the people of Georgia, and will have their aid and support in anv mea sures she may adopt, to protect her honor, her property and her political and constitu tional rights. Resolved, That we approve of tho wise forbearance of the Nashville Convention, in not presenting to the people a remedy tor the meditated aggressions ol Congress on South ern rights. That any proposition of that eort might have been construed into an effort to intimidate the public authorities in their deliberations; and \ye approve of the cours- of that body in adjourning over until the action of the General Government, in the delicate and interesting questions which lei to its convocation by the people, should ho known, and of a character to require its re-assemblage. Resolved, That we disapprove of the mea sure known as the Clay Compromise for its Intrinsic demerits, and its adoption in detached parts will be as offensive, as its enactment as a whole, and the pretence that it contains the principle of ‘non-intervention’ is an attempt to practice a gross fraud upon the people—for it interposes to seize a portion of the Territory of Texas in which it is known no free State can be erected, and place it in the power of the Government to force the formation of free States thereon ; it interposes to convert Des eret which had formed a Constitution which respected the rights of the South, into a Terri tory ; while it admits California, whose Con stitution contains a direct aggression on those rights. Resolved, That the contest in which we are engaged is no mere party warfare ; it is a struggle for the Constitution and the Rights of Freemen, against sectional and unconsti tutional combinations, and we hail as breth ren all who enter into it with zeal and firmness, and with a spirit to “ask nothing hut what is right and to submit to nothing that is wrong.” Resolved, That we cordially greet the able and talented Delegation sent by our sister State of Alabama to this meeting, and wel come them to a participation in our delibera tionSj and that we approve and applaud the nohle manifestations of the people of their gallant State in the cause of constitutional right and liberty. Resolved, That we recommend to the people of Georgia, the patronage of the “Southern Press” recently established at Washington, as an able and independent advocate of the Con stitutional Rights of the South. Resolved, That we highly approve the ral ly which Southern Members of Congress are making in defence of our rights ; and we trust that they will carry out in their full extent, their Resolutions to oppose,by every constitutional means, and to the last extremity, the offensive and unconstitutional measures, which the North seem resolved to force upon us. Mr. Yancey, of Ala., was then loudly called for, who addressed tho meeting with great power for two hours, in defence of the Res olutions reported bv the Committee. Col. Cochran, of Ala., followed Mr.Yancey; when, upon motion of Col. Henry G. Lamar, the Resolutions were unanimously adopted. The Convention then took a recess of one hour—for the purpose of partaking of a sump tuous Barbecue, which was served up for tho occasion. AFTERNOON. Dinner being over, the President again called the Convention to order; a considera ble number responded to the call and assem bled around the Speaker’s stand, where they were ably and eloquently addressed by the Hon. Walter T. Colquitt, Hon. Win. H. Stiles and Judge John A; Jones. On motion of Judge J. A. Jones, the “Southern Press,” at Washington, the ga zettes of this eity, arid all papers friendly to the cause, were requested to publish the proceed ings of this Convention. Astor the usual vote of thanks to the Otii cers of the Convention, the meeting then ad journed. C. B. STRONG, ) „ ~ . c. j. McDonald, 5 p “’ £• A- L. Lamab, . \ Secretaries. I hos. Hardeman, jr. Pine Knot Meeting. The citizens of the sixth and tenth districts of Muscogee county gave a free barbecue on the ,‘llst August, the object of which was to invite discussion on the great Southern ques tion now so deeply agitating the public mind. At a preliminary meeting the following offi cers were appointed to preside over the meet ing:—George Wiley, President. Hilliard J. Williams, V. President. John D. How ell, Secretary. The President having called the meeting to order, a motion was made for the appoint ment of a committee of five citizens, whose duty it was to report to the meeting suitable resolutions for the action of the people. The following gentlemen were appointed:—James M. Renfro, Chairman; John R. Sturgis, Joel Williams, Samuel Johnson, Henry J. Eelbeck. This committee having retired, Major John 11. Howard was introduced to the meeting and spoke for an hour with great force on the encroachment of the North upon the South. His speech consisted entirely of argument, and was so conclusive that none of the op position speeches touched it in its effects upon the people present. On the conclusion of Maj. Howard, the committee on resolutions made their report, and laid before the meeting the Following resolutions: The continued agitation of the Slavery question, in and out. of Congress, by the people of the non-slaveholding States ot this Union, has brought the country to a crisis in its political condition, which demands of the people, and of the people ol the South espe cially, a free and unequivocal expression of their opinions. Therefore, 1. Resolved, That the government of the United States is a creature of the sovereign Stales of this Union—sovereign and equal when they formed it, and sovereign and equal after it was established; and that any act of the Congress of the U. States that tends di rect lv or remotely to destroy the right of each and any State to a community of interest in its benefits, is a violation of the Constitution and should not be borne. 2. Resolved, That the pretensions of the North to exclude the South from an equal enjoyment of the Territories acquired by the blood and treasure of all , is such an act ot injustice and inequality as we cannot, and ought iiiit, to submit to, if we wish to main tain our self-respect as freemen. 3. Resolved, That an attempt by Congress to abolish slavery in the District of Colum bia. and the inter-slave trade between the States, would be a usurpation of power call ing for the unqualified resistance of the slave States. •1. Resolved, That we” cannot stand by and see the army of the United States removed to Texas to maintain the boundary which President Fillmore, without authority of law and in violation of express treaty provisions, has assumed to prescribe as separating that State from New Mexico, and that the people and State of Georgia should and will rise for the rescue ot Texas at the report of the first federal gun. 5. Resolved, That the boundaries of Texas are those conquered by her prowess from Mexico, defined in her treaty at San Jacinto— defined by her constitution and laws—main tained by years of occupation and hard-fought fields—acknowledged by foreign powers— the cause of the war with Mexico—and re defined and re-acknowledged by the United States as well as Mexico in the treaty of Guadaloupc Hidalgo. G. Resolved, That in regard to the territo ries, the South must enter all on equal terms with the North, or divide ; that we are willing to divide on 36, 30,hut enter or divide u-e will .’j 7. Resolved, That should California be admitted with her present boundaries, the Governor of Georgia should instantly call a Convention of the people, and that we will stand to what that Convention proposes, “ at all hazards and to the last extremity.” 8. Resolved, That the course of Hon. Howell Cobb, of Georgia, meets with our unqualified censure; that it is derogatory of his duty, as a citizen and representative of a Southern State, and that our thanks are due to our Senators and other Representatives in Con gress for every well stricken blow for South ern Rights, and that we have only to regret that they have not struck oftener and harder. After the resolutions were read, Nicholas Howard, Esq., moved as a substitute, a set of Resolutions, which he read and asked to be received. James Johnson, Esq., then took the stand, and spoke for an hour. This gentleman, certainly, argued his side of the question with great ability, hut the stumbling blocks lie found in the way on rising to the great question of aggression on the South, caused him to resort to sophistry and he involv ed himselfin some contradictions. Henry L. Henning, Esq., followed Mr. Johnson in a speech, which, to judge from its effect upon the meeting, was a great effort. There was a silence —a straining of the eyes and ears— of the audience to catch every word, except when the’ speaker rose into eloquence upon the wrongs of his country, and then there would be an outburst of applause. Mr. llenning continued for an hour, and was fre quently cheered, particularly on his taking his seat. A motion was then made to act on the resolutions, but objections being made by N. Howard, Esq., tho meeting adjourned to dinner. At 3 o’clock, the meeting organized again, and Col. Alexander McDougald took the stand, and spoke for half an hour. This speaker appeared to labor to prove that tho whole movement had for its object the break ing up of the Whig party 7 ; lie seldom touch ed the Southern question, and then very slightly. Ilis speech contained more humor than wit. Martin J. Crawford, Esq., now took the stand in conclusion. There was a sharp spurring between Mr. Crawford and Col. McDougald, as to the latter’s position with the Whig party, and the manner lie, (Col. McD.) had acted on certain political questions. ‘The questions of Mr. Crawford became so pointed, that the Colonel objected to them, and the subject was dropped, Mr. Crawford proceeding with his remarks. Mr. C. left a good impression on the minds of the people of his ability, and they gave the evi dence of it in their cheers on taking his seat. The question was called for by all parties. The first question was the reception of Mr. N, Howard’s resolutions, as a substitute for the original resolutions. A motion was made to lay the substitute on the table,- and the yeas and nays were sounded, which resulted in a large majority of yeas. The minority claimed a division which was agreed to, and a division took place which showed but twelve persons in opposition to the original resolu tions. Tho question was then put on the passage of the original resolutions, and they were passed. The yeas was deafening. The nays, weak and far between. On motion, the meeting adjourned. GEORGE WILEY, President John D. Howell, Secretary. The Tcias Question.—The Argument Briefly Stated. We find in tho Washington Union the following brief, but conclusive, review of the Texas Boundary question. Tho article sets out with two propositions, to wit: 1. That, independent of the abstract jus tice of the claim of Texas to the Santa Fe country,, the United States has not “posses sion” of that country adverse to the Texan claim; and 2. That it is not true, in point of fact, that Texas has attempted to wrest the possession of the Santa Fe country from the United States; and that it is trie, in point of fact, that the United States authorities have wrest ed the possession of that country from Texas. It is well known that the country between the Nueces and the Rio Grande was claimed by Texas before the annexation. It is well known that the country west of the Nueces was represented in the convention which ac cepted the joint resolution of annexation. It is well known that Congress, before the war, endorsed the claim of Texas to the Rio Grande, by establishing a collection district west of the Nueces, and that the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, had appointed a collector to reside west of the Rio Grande; that General Tay lor, commander of the army of occupation, blockaded that river; and that an overwhelm ing vote of both brauclies of the national legislature declared in the declaration of war that Texas extended to the Rio Grande. These arc facts—facts which extend up to the declaration of war; and now, if they do not sustain our first position, then it must be granted hereafter that wherever the troops of the United States are permitted to plant their feet, they acquire for the United States a claim hostile and antagonist to the right of the State in which they are admitted. We pass now to the second proposition. During the existence of the war, the Execu tive of Texas wrote to Mr. Polk relative to the occupation of the Santa Fe country, and the temporary government established there under the authority of Mr. Polk, as the com mander-in-chief of the army. Mr. Polk, in reply, informed the government of Texas that this government, established under his authority as commander-in-chief of the army, would cease when hostilities ceased. That did not surelv compromise the claim of Tex as, or give the right of possession to the United States. But this is not all. M hen peace was made, by which Mexico gave up her claim not only to Texas, but to ocher and extensive territories, Mr. Polk withdrew 7 his possession as commander-in-chief, and ac knowledged that Texas had the right of pos session to the Santa Fe country. Mr. Marcy’s instructions are full upon this point. They acknowledge fully and un equivocally that the occupancy of the east hank of the Rio Grande by the troops of the United States w r as subordinate to the right of occupancy of Texas—that the possession of the United States troops was subordinate to the right of possession of Texas, and that the temporary government establish ed by Mr. Polk must give w 7 ay to the permanent authority of Texas. Thus the whole question was settled, and the occu pancy and possession both surrendered up to Texas by tiie constituted authorities of the United States. But this is not all. Mr. Polk’s term expired, and that of Gen. Taylor commenced. What did General Taylor do ? Did he repudiate the conduct of Mr. Polk? Did he affi rm that the possession of the Santa Fe country had been wrongly and improperly given up to Texas? Did he claim that the United States had any rightful control over that country ? Xo. Mr. Craw ford, his Sec retary of War, acknowledged and confirmed the course of Mr. Polk, and admitted that Texas had a right to extend her jurisdiction to the Rio Grande from its mouth to its source. Under these circumstances, with her claim fully recognized by the* United States— and that., too, by a recognition which gave her the right of posskssion —Texas undertook peaceably to extend her jurisdiction over the country to which her rights had been thus recognized. She did not proceed with a martial array, for she could not anticipate resistance. She sent a commissioner—a Colonel Neighbors—to organize, peaceably and w ithout force, counties in the Santa Fe country, and extend to them the benefits of her laws. Colonel Neighbors met with no resistance at first. The people acquiesced in his action until he arrived at Santa Fe, where the United States troops were posted. In the mean time, these troops had received fresh instructions from General Taylor’s cabinet. Lieutenant Colonel McCall had arrived at Santa Fe w r ith instructions, in the shape of recommendations, to aid the people in estab lishing a separate State government. That was a direct repeal of the former instructions, w'hich gave to Texas the rightful possession of the cast bank of the Rio Grande; for it cannot be pretended that the Executive could acknowledge the right of Texas to extend her jurisdiction over Santa Fe, while the commanding officer was instructed to give aid and comfort to a State organization hos tile to that of Texas. That would have been abetting insurrection and fomenting treason against a State. It is clear, therefore, that the military authorities at Santa Fe were, in effect, ordered to resist Texas after Texas WAS ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE IN POSSESSION roth ry Mr. Polk and General Taylor. They did resist, and Colonel Neighbors was forced, by the interference of United States troops, to leave the Santa Fe country. \Y 7 e repeat, therefore, that the United States has wrested, by force of arms, the Santa Fe coun try from Texas; and that Texas is doing nothing more than to make an attempt to regain a possession of which she has been deprived by the armed forces of the United States. ‘Plie first hostile act has been com mitted by the federal government; and Texas has done and proposes to do no more than to resist a violent spoliation, and to regain what she has been deprived of by force. [From tho N. O. True Delta.] Late and Important from Texas. Meeting of the Legislature.— By tho arrival last night of the steamship Portland, Capt. Boehner, w r e have Galveston papers to tho 17th, and an extra of the Ntws and Journal , dated Sunday evening, the 18th, containing an account of the meeting of the Legislature, and the message of Governor Bell. The Senate and House mot and organized on the 12th, and on the 13th the Governor delivered his message. Oil account of the lateness of the hour, w r c must content our selves with giving a brief statement of the contents of the message. The Governor commences by giving his reasons for calling an extra session of the Legislature, viz: the late events at Santa Fe. He then proceeds to inform the Legislature of the proceedings of Major Neighbors, the Texan Commissioner to Santa Fe; the proceedings of Colonel Monroe; his own proceedings, after receiv ing Major Neighbors’ report, &c., and calls attention to “ the unwarrantable assumption of power by the Executive branch of the Federal Government, in its direct interference with the municipal affairs of a sovereign State. The Governor goes on to say 7 , that he has deeply, and he trusts, maturely reflected; that he anxiously desires to take no step which will not command the approbation of his fellow citizens; that the question, difficult and embarrassing as it is, must be met bold ly, fearlessly and determinedly ; not by furth er discussion with, or supplication of, Federal authority; not by longer reliance on a delu sive hope of justice to Texas; but by manly and determined action; by the prompt asser tion and practiesd maintenance of the rights of Texas, w'ith all the means at command, “at all hazards, and to the last extremity.” He then declares his conviction, that the only course left to Texas consistent with honor, and a just sense of what is due to her, is the immediate adoption, by the legislature, of “ such measures as are necessary for the occupation of Santa Fe, w ith a force ample to quell the arrogant and rebellious spirit now prevailing there,” and “ to extend and firmly establish the jurisdiction and the law sos the State over it.” He then says that if the adoption and en forcement of these measures lead to a con flict with those who, by Executive authority, are unlawfully exercising the powers of a government adverse to the interests of Texas, he would regret the conflict and its conse quences, but would be consoled by the re flection that Texas had not sought it, but endeavored to avert it, and that she w'ould “ stand exonerated before the world, even should that conflict shake to the very centre the most glorious confederacy upon which the sun has ever shone.” He then recommends the Legislature to “ authorize the Executive to raise, with as little delay as possible, w ith power to supply, at least, two regiments of mounted volunteers for the contemplated move to, and occupancy of, Santa Fe.” In a subsequent portion of the message, the Governor calls attention to the Compro mise bill, and says that, “ however willing Texas may have been, and may still be, to dispose of a portion of her northwestern territory, upon fair, equitable and honorable terms,” he “ cannot believe that any party, respectable for its numbers or intelligence,” would be willing to accept such a proposi tion as that contained in the bill reported by the compromise committee of the Senate. He then says, further discussion on the question of the title of Texas can result in no practical good, and he will not enter on any. Further on, he says: “ If n proposition had been made, founded upon her acknowledged lights of territory, to purchase from her that portion of it, lying north of the 34th degree of north latitude, and accompanied with a sufficient guaran ty that the provisions of the joint resolutions for annexation in respect to slavery should be observed, the most respectful consideration would have been given to it, and I risk but little in saying, that a large majority of our fellow-citizens w'ould have met such a pro position in the most liberal spirit, and with a sincere desire to accord everything reason able and just that might have been asked in reference to it.” Then follows a recommendation that the Executive be authorized to send to Santa Fe “ a military force sufficient to enable the civil authorities to execute the laws of the State in that portion of tho territor3 r , with out reference to any anticipated action of the Federal Government, or regard to the military power of the United States stationed at Santa Fe.” This recommendation, he says, he makes with more freedom, as ho cannot conceive that such a measure will, or ought, to give rise to any disturbances in the rela tions of Texas with the Federal Government. The foregoing abstract comprises all that is most important in the message of tho Governor. It i.s hardly 7 necessary to say that, at the time the Governor delivered his message, the news of the passing of Mr. Pearce’s bill in the Senate, had not been received. The new r s of the engrossment of that bill w 7 as re ceived in Galveston on the 17th, by the ar rival of the steamship Maria Burt. The Journal copies the bill, but makes no com ments. The News says: “ It is much to be regretted that this offer to Texas, (which seems to be tho ultimatum of our opponents,) should come to us, as it does, with a threatening, and, as w 7 e think, an insulting message from the President, re specting Governor Bell’s letter to him. For, however ready our citizens will always be found to listen to a friendly and conciliatory 7 proposition for a sale of territory, they 7 never can yield to terms accompanied with threats of violence. These threats would inevitably defeat all chance of acceptance by Texas, if they should receive the slightest endorse ment by Congress, and even as it is, they will arouse a feeling of indignation through out this State, not very 7 easy 7 to allay. We will defer this message to our next. “ It w'ill bo seen that one-half of the pur chase money 7 , or five millions, is to be held subject to the payment of that portion of our liabilities for which our custom revenues w r ere especially pledged. If by this reservation it is intended that those creditors shall bo paid in full, principal and interest, without regard to the general provisions made by our own laws lor their payment, then w r e may 7 antici pate a serious difficulty from this discrimina tion. Some of tho most meritorious of our creditors are those who possess no such lien, and we doubt much whether our people will consent to relinquish the right of paying their own debts in their own w 7 ay. ARRIVAL OF STEAMER AMERICA. 1 Week later from Europe. [Telegraphed for tho Baltimore Sun.] Halifax, August 27 — 5 P. M.
