The Bill of Rightu, ai adopted in committee of

t which It wis supposed controversy would a

kime few were in favor of submitting the matter
the people for t separata vote ; but it was
U contended for with any show of strenuosity,
fcJ was voted down almost unanimously.
s The suffrage question was the source of consid--able
debate; but was finally disposed of by ad
itting all male citizens of the United States, six
ontha resident in California, and twenty-one
' rare of age, (Indians, Africans, and the descen-
mts of Africans excepted,) to the privileges of

Some division of opinion arose on a proposition

jnt alaveliolders from bringing slaves into the

passed in committee of the whole; but it h
en looked upon since as jeopardizing the ratifi

cling was gaining ground, the house will proba
y strike it out.

This is the office said to have been tendered to
ligh Waddell, Esq. of Hillsboro, N. C, and by
in no doubt declined, as any one acquainted
th Mr. Waddell might have anticipated. This
not the first time, by many, that an office which
Iiuld, have been acceptable has been denied, and
;n one not to be thonght of, offered. This may
regarded at Washington as a proper and agree-
lemode of treating one's friends; but to the In
Vidual and his friends it it apt to be looked upon
a double Indignity. Last winter, it is said, ma'
of the leading Whigs of North Carolina, friends
d admi.ers f Mr. Waddell, presented his name
f a mission of the highest grade to one of the for-
;n courts, a post which he is peculiarly fitted to

THE BEAUTY OF THE CRAFT.
The subject of Editorial Beanty soemt to form
b burden of the Press just now. It has been de
led by the Standard that its brother Bailey ,oftlie
Ikboro Democrat, is the best-looking editor in
V State. From this opinion the editor of the
prth Carolinian dissents; and, without claiming
ything for himself on the score of personal beau-
awards the palm to his brother Guick, of the
wbern Republican. The Carolinian also adds,
nrte matter, t hope that its brother of the Stan-
rd will not consider himself flattered by tlie ex-
fssion that he, the editor of the Standard, is the
liett member of the fraternity in the State.
fTue Raleigh Times intimates that Guliclf has
bn wronged by the Standard; and, indeed, seems
think the opinion of that pript an insult pointed
jwcially at him. The Times also wonders if the
tt-looking Editor" will undertake to return the
nplimenf naji) hm by him by the Standard. "Jf
does,'' continues the Times, "won't he have to
Jrpetrate a thumper!"
Now, in this crnriict of opinions, e are unable
decide the matter mooted. . We have seen nei-
r JJailey nor Gulic ; but our friend pf ihe Stan-
rd we have seen : and if (he Carolinian can
pcurea small bet on its opinion of (his distin-
ished trait in his personal appearance, we are

NEW MEXICO.
The people of New Mexico, as well at those of
California, art moving on the subject of providing
for themselves an efficient Civil Government. A
meeting was held in Sante Fe on the 21st of Au
gust, when a preamble and resolutions offered by
Major R. H.Weighlman, elicited much discussion.
An adjourned meeting was held on the next night,
when the preamble and resolutions were amen
ded and agreed to. The following are the resolutions.
Resolved, 1, That for three yoars the people ef
New Mexico have patiently endured all the griev
ances and inconveniences incident to the milita
ry authority, and been subjected many times to ar
bitrary exercise of power, for the want of a well
regulated civil Government.
2. That a hundred thousand people living on
the soil of the United States, many of them native
born, and otliers citizens attached to her by love of
liberty and admiration of her institutions, are vir
tually destitute of such civil organization as guar
amies to them the protection of justice, or the se
curity and prosperity which it is the aim of the
constitution of the United States to afford to all.
3. That the confusion and uncertainty existing on
account of the scanty supply of legal enactments
and questionable custom, from the relative author
ity of inconsistent codes, and from the irregular and
contradictory application of law, hasten us with
out any uniform rule of action, or certainty of ju
dicial adjudication.
4. That those only who have had opportunities
to compare the regularity, order, impartiality, and
equal and uniform operation of the government
and judicial systems of the States, can fully ap
preciate the grievances, mischiefs and annoyances
to which our "three years" government has sub
jected ns.
6. That sharing feelings common with our coun
trymen, proud of our institutions, desirous to see
them extended over us, and looking to bur numer
ous population, our want of laws,nd our deplora
ble social and political attitude, we are urged to
adopt the most efficient steps to improve our con
dilion and to present ourselves before Congress in
vindication of our rights, and to urge her to prompt
action on our behalf.
6. That a General Convention of Delegates
chosen by the people of the several counties, would
afford the beat, the most speedy and most author!
tative means of learning the wishes of the people.
and of accomplishing the establishment of a suita
ble civil government.
7. That Lieut. Col. Beall, commanding the
troops in Santa Fe, the capitol of the Territory, be
requested to recommend to the citizens of the sev
eral counties to assemble in mass meetings, as
follows : - v
The mass meetings to be held on the 10th
Sept., 1819, to elect delegates to a General Con,
vention to be held in the city of Santa Fe, on the
24th of September. Lieut. Col. Beall, incom
pliance with one of the above resolutions, issued
his proclamation, recommending a mass meeting,
Meetings have since been held and delegates
elected In conformity with the recommendation,
GOOD NEWS FROM WASHINGEON.
We do not give much credit to those who, almost
a month in advance of the meeting of Congresi
are foreshadowing what the President's Message
is to contain, but we do believe what we read, that
it will be brief, and asTlear and comprehensive at
brief. President Taylor received the bteessings of
thousands for hit pointed, and tolling Inaugural ad
dress ; and if he will relatively cut down the ac
customed length of the Annual Message, he wi
receive at least the blessings ot every country edi
tor, and of the great majority of readers. Brevity
ts-not only the soul of wit, but the .piri: of the age,
There may be occasions for long documents and
long arguments, but a message by the President to
Congress is not one. General Taylor, thua fa
has honored Ihe good example of George Washing
ton.
ARRIVAL OF GEN. SCOTT.
The Richmond Republican of Monday says
"General Winfield Scott arrived In this Cltv on Sat
urday evening last, in the Southern Cars, from Pe
tersburg, and was escprted by the State Guard,
Capt. C. Dimmork, aocompanled by the Armory
Band, to apartments at the Exchange Hotel. He
will, of course, be the guest of the City during his
sojourn in Richmond.
MR. RIVES.
The Philadelphia Pennsylvanian publishes i let
ter from London, received by the Hibernia, which
says that up to that time Mr. Rivet had not been
received by the French Government.
JENNY LIND.
We leam that Mr. Brnum, of thit cilv, has

Swedish Nightingale. He is endeavoring to se
cure her services for two hundred nights, and is
willing to make a deposit qf $")0.000 jn London,

THE NEW SIXTH AUDITOR.
We are glad to learn from Washington.that Peter
, Washington has been removed from the office
of 6th Auditor, and that John V. FARRELi.Y,of
Pennsylvania, has been appointed to succeed him.
The former was one of the most obnoxious mn in
public office, and no less to to many of the leading
men of his own party than to the Whigs. His
successor was a member of the last Congress from
Pennsylvania, and was popular enough at home to
secure an election from one of the most doubtful
istricts of the State, and which almost invariably
has been represented by aLocoFoco. Mr.Farrel-
ly was Chairman of the Committee on Patents, an
office which he filled with credit to himself and to
the public service.
GEN. SHIELDS.
Senator Douglass refused to obey the Legis!a-
tive instructions of Illinois in favor of the Wilmot
Proviso. Gen. Shields, it appears, declared be
fore his election that he would obey his instructions
in favor of the Wilmot Proviso, not only beca use it
was Democrat to do so, but because it would be in
perfect accordance with hi own opinions.
This is only another illustration that, nn the sub
ject of the Wilmot Proviso, the shortest road to
the favor of the democratic party, even in the most
liberal of the non-slaveholding states, is to take the
most ultra ground on the subject of ths Wilmot
Proviso. It shows, too that Gen. Shields, the
late pet of the Palmettos, is perfectly willing to
throw himself at the head of the anti-slavery
gions. So ardent is this "natural allay" that he
cannnl content himself with promising to obey in
structions, but he must proclaim that he will o-
bey them the more readily because lie is himself a
Wilmot Provisoist. Perhaps it would be more
modest in Gen. Shields to abide a few years longer
in his adopted country before setting himself up as
an interpreter of her laws and reformer of her in
stitutions.
Scnator Douglas Defining his Position
The Chicago Tribune says that recently at Spring
field, (III.) Senator Douglas made a three hour
speech, in the Hall of the House of Representa
tives, on the subject of the instructions that the
Legislature has given him to vote for several meas
ures. In reference to the anti-slavery ordinance
he reclaimed that he voted for it several times, and
had none of the constitutional objections entertain
ed by Gen. Cass. He was opposed to the exten
sion of slavery as much as the Legislature, and
had only opposed the proposition to engrail a res
triction on the bill to admit California as a state,
because he was satisfied that slavery could not go
there, and because, under such circumstances, he
thought it "an unnecessary cause of excitement."
LADIES' COLLARS,
The Philadelphia Times says, that young la-
dint having taken to, wear standing collars, now
supply themselves from their brother' assort
ment.
We taw one or two ladies in the streets yester-
da y, says the editor, with collars so stiff they could
not turn theit heads tq look round at the beaux;
and we are told that a lady's ear wat found in th
Walnnt street Theatre, yesterday morning, evi
dently cut off by the too great stiffness of the
standing collar of some one in the fashionable
crowd of the night before.
