It in exceedingly amusing to witness
the ott'orts made by tlio lViontls of tho
March Convention to pour oil upon tlio
Democratic waters which they have put
in" such violont commotiou. Having
hut one object in yiow—tho defeat of
Cobh—they were entirely blind to all
the consequences that might onsuo.—
Using Mr. .Stephen’s naino ns a pretext
they contended that tho recommenda
tion of Mr. Cobb was doing that gentle
man injustice, when it, was well known
that Mr. Stephens was not an aspirant
for tho Charleston nomination,
hnd retired from public lift* and from
his quiet home in Taliaferro county wa
closely watching tlio {Kilitieal ngitntiofl
to see what would turn up. Ho wa
too shrewd to outer tho < field at this
time, and his friends knew it; hut his
name was necessary to the success of
their schemo.
It was thought that the December
Democrats, according to the establish
ed custom of their party, would with
out a murmur ncqiiiesco In tho action
of tho March Convention. In other
| words that Mr. Cobb would ho thrown
overboard and for the sake of harmony
no eit'ort ho made to save him. Hut
their miserable pretext was too shallow;
everybody saw to the bottom of it, and
tho December Democrats liavo raised
such a storm of indignation as to make
the groat untorriHed troinblo from fear.
And now they como with earnest pro
tections upon their lips and declare
that it was not hostility to Mr. Cpl»h,
that actuated them, hut a desire to do
justice to other prominent aspirants in
tho State, by placing them all upon an
eqr.nl footing.
Jly intrigue and strategy they havo
whipped tho Cobb Democracy in one
pitched battle, hut recalling the sad
fate of the Kilckenny cats they are now
very desirous of entering into a treaty
to put a stop to further hostilities. Af

All Wrong.
As much us wo loathe the whole gang
of hypocritical Abolitionists in (’ongresj*,
we greatly deplore thospeethclo, that is
too often presented, of .Southern Ih pie-
es degrading their ollice and
theirsoetion, by bun lying Him most dis
gusting epithets 'Hi them. Nothing
hut evil can result from such a i-mir.-o.
Wo not only weaken our own moral in
fluence, mid detract from the burred-
ncss of our cause, hut it nilbrds our
enemies material out of which to man-
ul'actuic weapons of warfare uguinut us.
We sincerely believe that tlio masses
at tlio North are doluded by designing
doniiigogiies, and only need enlighten
ment upon the great question of tlio
day to expel from Congress thoso who
now represent thorn. But if Southern
men, laying aside all dignity and self
respect, rise from their seats, and in re
ply to some vile slanderer, tax-the Eng
lish language, to excel him in the itscol
biUing*gatf*, wo must not ho surprised
to find their speeches liberally quoted
and freely circulated to inOaino the
minds of tho Northern people against
us. It is a trito saying, hut i trim one,
“harking dogs never bite,’’and it is well
known in every community, that a
bully will not light—-and it may ho set
down as equally certain, that stu 1. men
as wo havo described, will he the last to
carry out their threats. And the Abo
litionists well know it. How much
more becoming the 'Representatives of
ii great people it would he, if Southern
Congressmen would I relit, as unworthy
of notice, tho raving of political mani
acs, and when suitiihlo occasions pre
sented themselves, with lofty, stateinnn-
likc argument defend our institutions
and vindicate our honor. Lot a firm,
dignified and unwavering determina
tion murk our struggle for our rights,
and it will convince the world that
when the “argument is exhausted wo
will stand to our arms.”

Popular Sovereioxtv.—Tlio follow
ing is tho platform on slavery in the
Territories, laid down l>y tho Georgia
Democratic convention in Deo. JH17,
and re-adopted by tho convention of
June, 1848:
‘ 1/csolrcd, That Congress possesses no
power under the Constitution, A» h/islate
in any way or manner in relation to the inrtitu'
tion o/’ slavery. 11 is tlio Constitutional
right of evory citizen to remove and set
tle with his proporty in any of t ho ^Ter
ri lories of the United States.
Jle.iolved, That the pcoplo of t he South
do not ask of Congress to establish tho
institution of slavery in any of tho Ter
ritories tlmt may ho acquired by tlio
United States; they simply require tlmt
Christian converts connected with tho
society under the chnrgo of tho Ameri
can Missionaries drew water out of the
public tanks, which, as outcasts or low
casto jicoplo, it was claimed they had
no right to do. An appeal wasrnado to
the magistrate, who decided that the
Christian might huvo oil tlio rights
which they had before conversion. The
Hindoos not satisfied with this.appoalod
to tlio Governor in Council, who not
only confirmed tho decision of tho mag
istrate, but went one step farther, and
reminded tho Hindoos tlmt according
•to their own Shusters, “the caste of tho
Ruler is equal to tho highest 1” Thus
all Christians, being of “tho caste of tho
Ruler,” or of the British Queen, are
uiado the highest nt onco. This, if car
ried out, will relievo Christian Mission
aries in India of a groat deal of uniioy-
nnce.
habitants of each Territory shall
ho left free to detormino for themselves
whether the institution of slavery shall
or shall nut form a part of their social
system,
Thu Atlantic Cubic,
The operations for raising tho Atlan
tic cable will he commenced probably
in May, at Newfoundland, it being be
lieved that tho fault lies three or four
miles oil’ tlio coast; uud tho gx|k*iiso
will not exceed $10,000, which would be
amply covorod by tho recovery of ovon
a portion of the cable; The socond
fault is believed to l>o situated at a
tunce of not'more than 180 or 200 miles
(length of cable) from Valencia, ins
tead of 270 miles, us previously sup|*o-
sod. The actual distunco from tho
slioro to the point in question is
sinned to ho about ICO miles. It is pro
posed to manufacture a new cable about
100 miles long, and to splico it on tl
part where the main fault exists, pr
viously ascertaining tlmt a porfoot cm:
municulimi exists with the shore.-
Even should the expedition not succeed
in its main object of making the cable
speak again, a largo quantity of tho old
cable may ho recovered.

The Federal Union of yesterday says

emitra, Mr. Federal Union, that -it was
one of the most rfrfctio- Conventions
ever held: For Dt.’ll e muse‘tinted GW-
V ri« at a time when.she needed all her
vigor. No sinsihle limn will he apt to

not? Among the old thirteen—among

leHtified with her in her great dis
tive interestsand pursuits—Virginia
cannot compete with her except by her
permission, or her default. We say,
therefore. Georgia isentitled to ho No. 1.
Seeing this, the March Convention pro
vided a duplieate delegation, to ho per
haps vainly endeavoring to settle out

half shall go in, while the great business
of the body is going on. At the best,
Georgia will ho shorn of all moral

2d. It emasculated the parti/ completely.
Tlio Georgia democracy had only to
speak a united voice, to havo secured
tiie nomination of any one of their
number. Tho same considerations
which, with her own gracious permis
sion, would give prominence to the posi
tion of tho State. would lmvo‘almost
certainly influenced the Convention in
the selection of any nominee slio could
have heartily united upon. But Hie
March Convention, to relievo her of all
charge of egotism or self-seeking, re
fused not only to designate a man, hut
so far as it could, neutralized all prefer
ences. Wo say, then, the Federal Un
ion to tho contrary notwithstanding,
it was a most elfoctivo Convention.
Nbw some will say it was tho Decem
ber Convention which did all this, be
cause it left tho March Convention noth
ing better to do. The March men had
to do wliat they havo done, or do worse
iu coming to nn open rupture. Well,
wo have no objection that beth should

Robbery of the Murine Hunk!
One of the most singular, if not the
most during robberies, was committed
in this city Monday night. Tho-Agency
of the Marine Bank was entered and
$40,000 abstracted from the vault. The
box from which Uioiunoun\ was taken
contained in all probobly $120,GUO, about
two thirds of which was left. So far
as ascertained, no coin lias hern taken,
and at present the exact extent of the
loss. The strange part of tho whole af
fair is, that tlio lock of the hark door
wlnre the thief entered, at well as the
locks of the vault door, have received

(TBS Navt.—Tho present
system by which u Lieutenant is 'requi
red to serve nis country for thirty veins
before ho can bo promoted to higher
tank, requires amendment. A naval
otlicer, iu a communication to tho
Washington Star, says:
“I have been twenty-five years in the*
Navy—thirteen years us a Lieutenant,
and am now full forty two years of age,
and still hanging, like Mahomet ’s coffin,
midway to tlio promotion of our naval
heaven—a Commander's commission.—
There are more than sixty Lieutenants
iu our Navy, who liavo been longer in
the service and who uro older in years
than myself, uud as many as fifteen who
have'served more than thirty years. T
nm, by ten years at lotist, tho senior in
ago of any Lieutenant in tlio English
Navy now^ retained in activo. service';
and the French Lieutenants, it is well
known, are all young and active men,
that sorvico having been greatly in
creased and thoroughly # re-organized
since the empire.”

I may instance one of the few halls

It was literally a huntsman’s ball. The

other similar objects. Tlio orchestra

“Address to Her Mqjesty tho Queen :
Praying that in tho event of receiving
any proposition from tho Congress of I
the United States lor the acquisition of
British North America, or any portion
thereof, her Majesty will he graciously
pleased to reply, that considerations
connected with tho happiness of tho
human race in general, and with tho
well Ixihig and Hliorties of North Amer
ica in.particular, forbid the idea of ac
ceding thereto; but Hint, in order to
show her Majesty's appreciation of tho

tho willingness to indulge it so far as is
consistent with tho feeling und interest
of her subjects in North America, tho
Queen ispropnrod to receive a proposi

A Southern Candidate.—The Rich
mond Examiner says:
“ A Southern nomination only can
unite the entire South, and a really con
servative candidate can do this with cer
tainty. What Northern candidate can
combine the South? Not ono. No
man helives tlmt any can. The nomi
nation of a Northern man will divide a
power now united, and will call exist
ence parties to distract and weaken the
conservative strength of the Southern
States. In Virginia, even the old opo-
iients of tho democracy will make a
strong and u dangerous struggle against
tho democracy led by a’Northern can
didate. In Kentucky and Tcnuosscc
tho contest would hodoubtful, with the
chances against the democracy. In
Maryland wo would he beaten. Under
the strongest .Northern democrat wo
could not count on South Carolina,
