Is It Trrn*oti t Uooently *t has boon assorted that I ho proposed Southern Convention would, b* nn ncl of treason to the gencr- »*l government. To miatoln this posl* lion a port of tlio following clause, taken from Sec. 10th Art 1st of the Consti tution, is quoted, vis t “No fitatfc shall without tho consent of Congrcas, Jay rnyduty oqTohngo, keep troo|is or idiips of war in time of penco, enter in to any agreement or compact with nn- other State, or with a foreign power, or engngo In war, unless actually invaded, or iu such imminent danger ns will not admit of delay." Now It seems to ns that this clause lias no reference what- * v yer to conventions called for the pur pose of counselling togethor of two or more States. If thero was any doubt in regard to the construction' our gov ernment puts upon this clause it would bo dispelled by calling to mind the Xftshvilla Convention of i860. No del- ••gato to.that Convention was arraigned l or treason, ami the general government as such took no notice whatever of this mooting by way of opposing It. Tho Niislivlllo convention was called for procisoiy tho samo purposo ns the one that is now proposed, vis., for coun selling together ami seeing if tho unit ed wisdom of all can proposo any plan by which tho Southern States, in con cert, can maintain their rights, inter ests and honor. A similar convention was again last year proposed by South Carolina, hut the other Southern States did not then soo tho necessity of tho meeting. But wo do not ciro to argue this question. Tho time has como when the rights of Slavery in this Government have .</ot to he settled. It soetns to us that the •Sluveholdiiig States can and ouglU to sus tain each other in this contest in every possible way, and if counselling togeth er as to tho time and mode ol resistance is treason then we say let tho North inako tho most of it. They will find, if this plan is adopted, every .Southern man a traitor in that sense, and them selves powerless to punish them. It seems queer that thoso who are in favor of immediate recession should op- poso a Southern convention,on Constitu• tior.al g roundt! Is Hannibal Hamlin a “Niuferr* It has been assorted that tho Vice President oleut is “a freo nigger." AH descriptions of his personal appearance agree that ho is of very dark complcc- tion, and we cannot say that he is free from negro blood; but it is not to bo believed that tho Southern Senators would have sat with him in tho Senate for years, as they did, if /try had consid ered him “a nigger*” IIo is black enough in hia principles, at all events, and wo hope the South will so act us not to suffer dfsgraco from.

According toprovious notico, a moot- ng was this dny hold in Cedar Town, composed of Uioso who were in favor of resistance in the Union. On motion Hon. Charles H. Wood was appointed chairman, and • W. L. McCormick and W. S. Battle wero re quested to act as Socrotarics. In obedience to a request made by tlio Chair, W, J. Borden ‘stated that tho olgcct of tlio meeting was to nom- nato candidates for dulogatcs to the convention called by tlio Legislature, and which moots on the 10th of Janua ry next, totakoiuto consideration tho mode ami measure of resistance to the policy and rule of Black Republicanism; and also to iiominnto county officers. On motion of till. Bonner, u commit- too of two from each District was ap pointed to present tho names of two suitable persons to represent this coun ty iu said convention. Tho chair i\|»- pointod tho following gentiomen on said Committee: J. F. Davis, P. I). Hostess, Thomas W. Dupree, Joseph D. Morgan, K; D. Hightower, Thomas A. Dukes, Dr. Brockman, 11. M. Prior, 1>. II. Hampton, 8. A Borders and T. C. Bonner. At this time Col. Fielder uroso and said that he, as chairman of a commit- teo In another meeting, bud been re quested by suid meeting, to nmko a pro position to this meeting, which ho hop ed this meeting would giant him the privilego of making. Which having boon granted, ho proceeded to read said proposition which was in substance as follows, viz: "That tho party, in favor of immediate secession, in order to keep down nil political excitement in Polk County, proposes to tho party opposed to immediate secession, to elect one delegate from each party, or to let euch select ouo delegate, and fbr the two thus selected let all tho county Yoto." After reading the proposition Col. Fielder stated that this proposition was nmdo ill good faith, and in older to quiet agitation, and produco hurmony of feeling and action in our midst. On motion Col. Fielders’s proposition was referred to thoaforesaid committee, which, after consultation, reported through Col..Bonnor, their Chairman, that thoy could not accept said proposi tion, os thereby thoy would bo Consent ing to silence, or render of none clicet the voice ot Polk county in said State Convention. The committee regretted exceedingly that there could not be a complcto unity of notion among the people at this time, and hoped that there would bononoof that oxoiteinenc usual at elections, and to obviatef that tiling ns much ns possiblo, they would recommend that Thotiras W. Dupree, Esq., and Hon. Wm. E. West, who for merly belonged to different parties, but who agree on the present issues, und are in favor of making one more ott'ort to Imvo our rights preserved and maintain ed in the Union, according to the Con stitution be nominated. Col. Donucr further stated that he, individually, was opposed to tho propo sition, that no one desired moro than Ira that there would be unity of fooling, nud unity of notion among tho .Southern people; that tho object'd tho Conren tion was to obtain the will of tho people upon tho only question now agitating tho public mind; that all wore for resis tance ; and tho only difference was tlio n).cvje and manner of resistance; that SOIUO Were for resistance out <rf lite Union, while ollraw were for resistance in the Union; tb#4tli0 object of tho olection of delegates was to reflect the will of the people; und If polk county was in favor of secession, she was eu titled to a full representation, and if afro was in favor of resistance In t/ie Union, slra, tap, was entitled to it full ivpreseutotjon | that the only plan, In Ills opinion, was 1 to have separate sets of candidates, ami then the voice of tho people would be fully obtained, On motion ai \V* J, Borden, Thomas W; Dupree and Wm. K. West, wore unanimously nominal ud by ucolumntion a* candidates for'Delegates to the State Convention. Dr.S. A. Borders, then read the fol lowing preamble and resolution, which wero unanimously adopted, viz: Whereas, we have this day nominated candidates for Delegate* to the Stato Convention to represent this county; and, whel eos, future developments may bo made, which might have considera ble influence on the course which sliouiJ ho adopted by tho Southern States.-— Therefore, ho it Jlesofvrd, that wo deem it Inexpedient to instruct our delegates to any specific course of notion, further than to use their host exertions to perfect a plan of resistance, which, in their judgment.-, will most surely Inure to tho preservation of our right* in the Union.
