How eau men reconcile it to their consciences and to the country thus jo consume days, weeks and months! The vqje upon the Galphto question has made Mr. Crawford’s friends quite indignant, and some o( the Georgia memtfrrs are very wiutUyf If there is any excess of indignation it ol ghtto be upon the other side. ■ » '• General B( M. Edney, of Sonm Carolina, has been confirmed as Consul at Palermo. We learn from Washington also that* good mnny unprincipled persons are endeavoring to precipitate the country into a war with Spain. The good sense of the Executive will head this effort, but Spain must surrender the Contoy pri^jnors if she would have Justice from the United States. 1 The Washington correspondent of the same paper •ays: Every body yet asks,T-wh*t Will Col. Monroe do in case Texas iuvadte Nqw Mexico. 'He has nb-orders from here to resist tksitwarum, verbal or written This to'-tis question of the'day. If Col. Monroe docs- notMng, Texas wiii soon over-nut Npw,Mexico. If he insists Texas Will hold back. The Southern members have given over their oppo sition to tho Appropriation Bills, if such an opposition was ever resplvedapoa. They now say,—tlie ultra Ajorttontof them—passthem, and we will help you. If you will fix a day of adjournment. ‘Pass the Ap propriation Bills,’ and ‘go homed is now their cry. The Ultraa believe that before nqxt winter, they can poascaslhpntcclTssof Nc'wMsxioo; and present a slave State from Texas to offset California. Hence the anxiety top dolay. It to flow ascertained that no Northern Whig Son- tor but Mr. Cooper of PenD„ will touch the Bill — Mr. Clay, therefore, rumor ,-uiys, feels uimsetf at lib erty to make tome concessions, which' will secure forit more Southern votes, enough to pass it. In ease this to done ifl^jio Senate, the same "Influences would unite and pass too Bill in the Houue. There to no doubt that tnafi>m would pass tho House, if the South was united upon it All this, However, if ever brought about will be only after great delays. Under anch a stale ol facts, you can hope ibr no adjournment of Congress as yet.: October, the tndi- returns are, will find mcmbqrs^ here, worrying and atittg nothing. * The Washington corrrepdWient of the BalUntore Sun to his totter of last Tuesday, speaking of tha President's ittness tnysa . , Th* Prcjidetilexposed himself to toe suit, Ibr two the Secretory of the Treasury jn payment of too Same.
