NOTICE. MEETING IN CALIFORNIA. The Washington Union has received the "Star" pinted at San Francisco' in California, which contains the proceedings of the meeting of the people, held on the 23d December, 1843, for the purpose of taking steps to form a provisional gov ernment. The meeting adopted, with great unanimity, a set of resolutions setting forth the unprotected and lawless state of the country deeply regret- ing the inattention and inaction of Congress, and resolving upon the expediency and necessity of forming a temporary government to protect the citizens, until " the Congress of the U. States shall vouchsafe them the mercy And. consideration to provide thern a government." The meeting made no mention of slavery what ever. The Louisville Chronicle, a whig paper, says th.t Mr Clay was forced upon the State as Sena tor. Or in other words, the friend of General Taylor were opposed to his election, although they did not, as a body, openly combine. to do it. They fear he will oppose Gen. Taylor's adminis tration; or rather, try to rule it, and oppose it if it will not be ruled by him.

Feb. 14th 1S19. 321-0m 30TH CONGRESS. SECOND SESSION. February 12. Mr Butler gave notice in the Senate that he should introduce a bill to enforce the 4th article of the Constitution, which article says that fugi tives from l;ibor, escaping into other States, shall be delivered up tothe person to whom such Liboris due. This is the right way to get at the business. Some of the non-slaveholding States have made laws to prevent the owner from re gaining a runaway slave; while in all the States, the difficulties attending an attempt to regain one, are such that it is rarely made. Now, here is a pl-iiti provision of t he Constitu tion to sustain the slaveowner, and Mr Butler is going to introduce a bill to enforce it.- We mar vel th.it such a bill has not long ago been agitat ed in Congress, b it at last we shall se whether it can hud iavor enough to go through both Houses. We predict, (now mark it) that there will be found southern men (under some plea or other) to vote against it. The civil and diplomatic appropriation bill was then taken up, and a number of amendments proposed. Mr Badger opposed the amendment which had been tacked o;i by the House, to abol ish whipping in the Navy. He opposed iton the ground of the impropriety of abolishing such a law. He thought if the end to be accomplished were desirable, a bil! for the express purpose should be introduced and passed. Mr Hale ie plied to Mr Badger, and most eloquently jdead the cause of the sailor. He did not believe in the doctrine put forth by gentlemen that there must be punishment of some sort in tha Navy to preseve discipline. He pointed to the example of Wm. Penn, the man of peace, who went with his followers and settled among the savages of Pennsylvania, without arms or means of punish ing the savages, and although Europeans hooted at the idea, Penn succeeded with the Indians by mild and gentle means. He asked if the Ameri can sailors were worse than the savages of the forest ? Mr Badger rejoined, still advocating the ne cessity of whipping as a means of preserving discipline. Mr Yulee also opposed the amend ment in some sensible remarks. He said if the Senator was so desirous of abolishing corpore;.! punishment, let him make a general matter of it and apply the law tojschools and families as well as to the Navy. Mr Benton said, that although in favor of abolishing whipping, he roust oppose this mode of arriving at the object. The question was taken, and 17 voted for the amendment abolishing whipping, and 32 against it. In the House, Mr Viaton reported a bill for the establishment of a new executive department of the general government the Department cf the Interior. A motion to make it the special order for Frio ay next having failed, and also an other to commit, on motion ot Mr' Vinton it was ordered to be engrossed. Mr V. afterwards moved to postpone the question on a motion to reconsider that vote. The propriety of this ac tion, ordering the bill to be thus early engrossed, was debated af considerable length by Messrs Vinton and Cobb of Georgia, with a few remarks from other members. After the transaction of other business of lit tle general interest, a resclution to payMrBotts per diem and mileage while engaged in contest ing the seat of Mr John W. Jones in the 2Sth Congress, was passed, under the previous ques tion. Mr Thompson of Pennsylvania, asked a sus pension of the rules to permit him to introduce a preamble and resolutions for expunging the clause of the resolutions of thanks to Gen. Taylor and the army, introduced as an amendment by Mr Ashman, declaring the war to have been un necessarily and unconstitutionally begun by the President ; but before the question was put upon the motion, the House adjoursed. February 13. The Senate wa again employed on the general appropriation bill. The debate was of no gener al interest. In the House, much of the session was devoted to the discussion of a motion by Mr Ashman to correct a portion of the journal of the preceding day's proceedings; which waa not agred to. The committees were then called on for reports, and many resolutions, bills, adverse reports, and mo tions for discharging committees, were reported and disposed of; after which tne House proceed ed to the consideration of business on the Speak er's table communications from the executive departments, bills from the Senate, &.C., which occupied their attention until the hour of ad journment. February 1-1. The Senate, after some unimportant business, took a recess, and the members proceeded in a body to the Hall of the House of Representatives to count the votes for President and Vice Presi dent of the U. States, as they had been transmit ted from the several States, and the votes having been counted, the Senators returned to their chamber. The Senate committee appointed to superintend the counting on the part of the Se nate, informed the Senate that the votes had been counted, and that Zachary Taylor and Mil lard Fillmore have been dwly elected President and Vice President of tke United States. There upon, Jerlerson Davis of Mississippi was appoint ed on the part of the Seriate as their part of the joint committee to inform Messrs Taylor and Fillmore of their election. The Senate then ad journed. In the House, at 12 o'clock and 20 minutes the Senate appeared at the main door of the Hall of Representatives, preceded by their presiding of ficer, Mr Vice President Dallas, and their Secre tary, Mr Dickens, and two pages bearing the votes. Filing into the hall, the Senators took the seats provided for them around the area in front of the Clerk's table, which was occupied by the tellers, Mr J eflerson Davis of the Senate, and Messrs Barrow and McClelland on the part of the House. On the right ot the tellers sat the Secretary of the Senate, and or the left the Clerk of the House, who acted as recorders of the votes when announced by the reading teller. The Vice President occupied the Speaker's ch iir, that officer being seated immediately on his left. Having called the joint convention of the two Houses to order, the Vice President then rose and said : ' Iu obedience to l..vv, the Seriate and House of Representatives hae assembled on the present occasion, so that I may fulfil the duty enjoined upon me by the constitution, by open ing, in their presence, the sealed certificates of the lit of persons voted for, by the electors in the States, as President and Vice President, cause the votes to be counted, and have the persons to till those otiices ascertained and declared, agree ably to the constitution." The Vice President then opened the certificate of the State of Maine, and said, "I now open and present to the tellers chosen by the two Houses, the certificate transmitted by the elec tors of the State of Maine, that the votes therein recorded may be counted " Mr Jefferson Davis' then proceeded to read the certificate, and the vote reported was registered by the tellers in duplicate lists. The tellers having read, counted, and register ed the votes of the electors of the thirty States, and compared their duplicate lists, delivered the same to the Vice President, who announced the following as the report of the tellers : For Zachary Taylor 163 votes. For Lewis Cass 127 " For Millard Fillmore 163 " For Wm. O. Butler 127 The Vice President then said : I therefore declare that Zachary Taylor, of the State of Lou isiana, having received the greatest number of votes lor President of the United States, and that number being a majority of the whole number of electors, is duly elected President of the United States for four years, commencing on the 4th of March, 1S-J9. ' And I also declare that Millard Fillmore, of the State of New York, having received the greatest number of votes for Vice President of the United States, and that number being a ma jority of the whole number of electors, is duly elected Vice Piesident of the U. States for the tennoffour years, commencing on the 4th of March, 1S49. "The Secretary of the Senate will take charge of the votes of the electors. "The business of the meeting of the two houses being now finished, the convention is dissolved, and the Senators will retire to their chamber." Whereupon the Vice President, attended by the Secretary of the Senate, preceded that body to their chamber. The House then appointed their part of the joint committee to wait on the elect and inform them of their election. A Good Mas Mukdeiied. Our citi zens were startled and astonished on Sat urday last, to hear of the murder of James Walker, a resident of Holly springs. He was killed that day at Noncontiah Bridge in Shelby county, Tennessee, by a man named James, rided and assisted by his brother. We understand that the altercation that led to such a melancholy termination, began by a jocular remark as to which of the parties had the strongest horses. One of the men struck' Mr Walker and then tired at him with a pistol. Mr Walker then drew a pistol which he tired, and was apparently retreating, when he was mor tally wounded by the one that had pre viously fired at hi in. He expired in a few minutes. Notwithstanding there were a number of persons present, the murderers were allowed to escape. They have been pur sued, and we hope will be arrested. Mr Walker had resided here for a num ber of years. He was an industrious, honest and peaceable man He leaves a wife and a number of helpless children to mourn over their irreparable loss. Holly Spring Jacksonian. . ' -'" THE REVENUE LAW.
