COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
Tuesday, Oct. 16.
The convention met this day, accord
ing to previous adjournment, when the
following additional delegates appeared
and took their seats:
Edgefield, (S. C.) —J. Lipscomb.
Charleston—Alexander Black.
Barnwell—Robert Willis, B. H. Brown.
Georgetown—J. 11. Reid.
Hamburg—E. L. Anthony.
Newbury—Peter Hare, John Holmes.

izy.
Campbell county—E. B. Thompson.
Crawfordville—John M. Anthony.
Newton county —Richard Byrd,
Louisville—John Campbell.
. Macon—Ossian Gregory.
The Hon. A. B. Longstreet, from the
committee of 21, stated the committee
was not yet ready to report, and asked for
further time—granted.
Mr. Royce moved that Alexander
Black, and Mr. Jamieson and A. McDow
ell, be added to the committee of 21.
Mr. Pollard, of Alabama, presented the
proceedings of a convention recently held
at Huntsville, Ala., which, after being
read, were on motion of Mr. Hearing,
ordered to be recorded.
Dr. Robertson presented the following
resolution, which was ordered to be re
ferred to the committee of 21.
Resolved, that the committee of 21 he
requested to inquire whether any of the
banks have entered into arrangements
with foreign banks, by which letters of
credit can be obtained upon sufficient
security, by those desiring to enter into
direct importations—and if such arrange
ments have not been made, to ascertain
as far as possible, the causes that oper
ate against the accomplishment of so de
sirable an object.
Mr. Boyce, of Charleston, said that the
matter embraced in the resolution of Dr.
Robertson, was already before the com
mittee of 21, and had been referred to a
subcommittee.
Mr. John A. Calhoun, of S. C. offered
the following resolution :
Resolved, That it lie referred to the com
mittee of 21 to report as to the best prac
ticable means of inducing our merchants
to patronize southern ports.
Mr. Calhoun said, that it had often
and long been said of us, that we were a
people too much inclined to telk and too
little inclined to act. He feared that the re
mark was too true, most especially in re
ference to tlie great subject upon which
this convention had been called together
to deliberate. An observation made to
him by a merchant of the north during
the past summer, had struck him with
force—that the south spoke and published
a great deal upon the subject of direct
importations, but he had seen no practic
al results. Nothing had been done. South
ern merchants were as much disposed
as ever to patronize northern ports, and
he was not sure but that the disposition, if
any thing, more strongly exhibited now
than at any previous period.
Now, sir, said Mr. C. it canuot be ex
pected thnrthose merchants of the south
who have been in the habit of patronizing
northern ports should abandon their course
if by so doing they sustain any loss, but
be thought it the duty at least to give the
ports of the south a fair opportunity,
by examining and comparing the facili
ties of each. I am informed that the
ports of the south do offer facilities equal
| to these of the north, hut that a long habit
of visiting the later, and indisposition to
get out of the old channel, and not any
inferiority of the former, is the operating
cause why our own ports are not better
patronized. If, sir, we can do any thing
by which to induce our merchants to pat
ronize our own cities, we shall have ac
complished more for the cause than by
all the speaking and writing of years.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. Bellinger, of South Carolina, rose j
and said, that as there was nothing of iin- j
portance now before the convention, lie
would submit a resolution which it would
perhaps have been more proper to intro
duce at the close of the convention. The
matter which he wished to bring before
the^convention was perhaps not in itself
very important, or had any direct bear
ing upon the subject of foreign importa
tions, but it was one which he had much
at heart, and lie should not feel that he
had discharged his duty without making
the movement which lie now did ; and
as the proposition came from the other
side of the Savannah river, it would cer
tainly be relieved from the charge of self
ishness. Mr. B. then read the following
resolution, which lie submitted to the judg
i ment of tire convention:
Resolved, That the delegates present
will subscribe a sum sufficient for the
purpose of purchasing a silver cup, to be
presented to William Dearing, of Athens,
as a token of respect for the estimable man,
and highly useful and public spirited cit-
I izen, who first proposed the commercial
I convention, ahd whom we claim, not so
much as a son of Georgia, as of the com
mon south.
Resolved, That Messrs. Ker Boyce,
James G. Holmes and Wm. Aiken, of S.
Carolina, be appointed a special commit
tee, to receive subscription to, and carry
into effect the foregoing resolution.
Mr. I. E. Holmes approved of the reso
lution. If any good should be accomplish
ed—if any kind feelings enkindled—or if j
the chain of interest, by which we are u
nited, is brightened by the action of this
convention, we shall certainly owe it to
the gentleman to whom this compliment
is intended. Mr. IT. then made a sugges
tion to vary the phraseology of the resolu
tion, which was accepted by the mover.
Mr. Dearing rose to express his thanks
for the compliment. It was his desire
that nothing of the kind should be done—
it was enough for him to see so much tal
ent and energy collected together, to car
ry out an enterprise, for the honor of or
iginating which, others were as much en
titled as himself. He hoped the mover
would withdraw the resolution.
Mr. Bellinger said, that the modesty of
the gentleman, in declining the proffered
honor, was to his mind, an additional and
conclusive argument in favor of its adop
tion.
After being amended, on motion of Mr.
Boyce, so as to substitute the name of Mr.
Bellinger for his own,the resolutions were
unanimously adopted.
The convention then adjourned till 12'
o’clock tomorrow.
Wednesday, Oct 17.
The convention met at ] o’clock, instead
of 12, as the committee of 21 were not
ready to report at that hour.
At the request of the president, the dele-!
gates who had arrived since the last ad
journment, came forward and registered j
their names, viz:
Bainbridge, Geo.—J. C. Hayes.
Burke co. Geo.—J. Whitehead, J. C.
Poythress.
Madison co. Miss.— 11. 11. Lumpkin.
The secretary then read the minutes ol
the last meeting, which were confirmed.'
James G. Holmes, Esq. of Charleston,
then rose, and stated to the convention,
that the committee appointed yesterday,
to receive subscriptions from the members,
for the purpose of procuring a silver cup,
to be presented to Wm. Dearing, Esq. of
Athens, had discharged that duty, and he
hoped the chairman of that committee
would be allowed to present the same—
which was granted. This ceremony pro
duced quite a sensation in the convention.
E. Bellinger, Esq. the chairman of the
committee, came forward in behalf of the
convention, and after one of the most feel
ing addresses we have heard for some time,
presented the cup to Mr. Dearing—con
cluding his address with the hope that he
might long live to enjoy the reputation of
being the “first who proposed the com
mercial convention, and one whom we
claim, not so much the son of Georgia, as
of the south”—that this convention might
he the means of adding the happiest re
sults to the prosperity of the south—and
that he would esteem the gift, not so
much for its value, but as the best legacy
he could leave his children, to emulate
them to follow his worthy example, in be
half of the commerce of the south.
Mr. Dearing rose, much excited, and
returned his thanks to the convention and
the committee, for the honor done him— :
it was more than he merited—but if what
little he had been instrumental in doing,
should result to the benefit of the south
and southern commerce, so long as his life
was spared, exertion on his part should
not be wanting to place it on a sure and
permanent foundation.
On motion of Ker Boyce, it was then
Resolved, That the president and vice
president of this convention be permitted
to take part in the discussions.
Judge Lougstreet, chairman of the commit
tee of 21, rose and read the Report and Res
olutions of the Committee. The report we
will give as soon as we can obtain a copy of
it—the resolutions follow:
1. Resolved, That the members of this Con
vention will use their best exertions in their
respective States, to form trading associations,
in order to carry into effect the purposes of this
I Convention.
I 2. Resolved, That increasing the facilities of
, intercommunication by Rail Roots and Canals,
between the interior Western and South At
lantic and Gulf of Mexico States, are among
the most important measures of restoring to
■ the Commercial Ports of the latter, the direct
trade which has so recently departed from
them.
3. Resolved therefore, That while it is strong
ly recommended by this Convention, to the
different States to afford every possible aid to
approved works of Internal improvement, hav
ing the above objects in view, it is equally
obligatory on the companies or corporations
chartered for said objects, to consider their
works as but parts of one great design, and so
harmonize and co-operate in their operations
as to produce through those great arteries and
veins of the commercial body, a circulation, as
perfect as that which nourishes and animates
the human systenu
4. Resolved, That the Banking Institutions
of the respective States in which they are lo
| cated, cannot more surely advance their own
interests, in connection with the pnblic pros
perity, than by affording succor in their begin
nings, to those great works, which, intended to
develope the hidden resources of interior coun
tries, must, in return, reciprocate to those in
stitutions the henefits of an increasing and ex
tended commerce.
5. Resolved therefore, That while the bene
ficial effects of hanking privileges so judicious
ly granted by the States of Tennessee, North
and South Carolina and Georgia, to the Central
j and Athens, and the Charleston and Cincin
uati Rail Roads, have been most clearly de
monstrated in the successful progress of those
great works to completion—:t most respectful
ly suggests to the consideration of the other
south western states, (requiring an extension
of banking capital) that aid, through similar in
stitutions, be granted to Rail Roads and other
works of improvement, within their own limits,
haying in view, the important designs of more
intimate commercial and social relations among
themselves, as well as with the more remote ,
States of the interior.
6. Resolved, That the banks of the several
states be respectfully solicited to form Com
mercial connexions, with like institutions or
capitalists in Europe, for the purpose of furnish
ing facilities to a direct trade between the |
Southern and South western States, and that I
country. j
Janies G. Holmes of Charleston, moved
that the report be accepted; but before
any vote was taken I. E. Holmes of
Charleston, rose and addressed the conven
tion at length, urging the necessity of ac
tion, and impressing on the minds of mem
bers that unless they came to the resolu
tion of imitating their northern brethren
in industry and enterprize, all the con
ventions that can be called together will
do but little good towards accomplishing a
direct trade in the south. We might meet
together year after year, attribute our
present situation to the workings of the
federal government as much as we pleased
—pass what resolutions we chose—but all
would do no good, unless we placed our
shoulders to the wheel—we must set a*
bout and extend our communications with
the interior by rail roads, &lc. and build
our own ships, and man them before we
could hope to compete with north
ern brethren. Perseverance, lie argued,
would accomplish much, and it was per
severance, accompanied by industry and
enterprise, that give to New York her
present elevated station among the com
mercial cities of the world.
Before any vote was taken on Mr.
Holmes’ motion that the report and resolu
tions ol the committee of 21 should be re
ceived, Mr. J. H. Hammond of S. Caro
lina, moved that such portion of the pre
amble and resolutions as recommended to
the states the chartering of rail roads with
banking privileges should be ercased.—
I his motion led to much discussion, in
which Messrs. Hammond. A. B. Long
street, J. P. King, E. Bellinger, Jesse
Been, and J. A. Calhoun, supported the
motion, and Messrs. P. Noble, J. M. Ber
rien, Ker Boyce, J. G. Holmes, and B. F.
Dunkin, opposed it. At this stage of the
proceedings in order to conciliate all par
ties, Mr. C. J. Jenkins, of Augusta, rose
and offered the following resolutions,
which was unanimously adopted as a sub
stitute to the fifth resolution reported by j
the committee.
Resolved, That the legislatures of each
southern and south-western states, be re
commended to enquire whether there be
or not, in each state, a sufficiency of bank
ing capital, and if found insufficient to pro
vide for its increase in such manner as
may be deemed the most conducive to the
interests of southern commerce.
Judge Lougstreet then moved that the
convention adjourn till 10 o’clock to-mor
row, but before any question was taken
on this motion, Judge Berrien rose and
stated to the convention that, having been
unexpectedly called on to attend this con
vention, it would be out of his power to
remain to-morrow; he had in his posses
sion some resolutions adopted at a meet
ing held in Savannah, which he was in
structed to present to the convention,
and if the members would grant him the
favor, he would offer them before the mo
tion for adjournment was acted on. Leave
was granted him, after which, he read the
resolutions, which were received by the
convention and ordered to be engrossed
on the minutes.
Judge Berrien then moved, with con
sent of Judge Longstreet, that the report
and resolutions of the committee of 21,
as amended, should be taken up and act
ed on, which was done, and the report
and resolution were adopted.
Patrick Noble, Esq. then offered the
following resolution:
Resolved, That an adjourned meeting
of this convention be held in Charleston,
South Carolina, on the third Monday in
April, 1839, and that the delegates here
assembled, adopt such measures as may
be deemed expedient, in order to insure
a full representation of their respective
sections, and to keep the objects of this
convention before the people of the sever
al states particularly interested in their
accomplishment-
On motion of Col. Dexter of Alabama,
Resolved, That the convention respect
fully recommend to the legislatures of the
several southern aud south-western states
(heir co-operafion in leading works of
internal improvement, by the application
of the credit or resources of the state, in
conjunction with individual capital.
On motion of Maj. Marsh of Burke
county,
Resolved, that the president appoint a
committee to publish and distribute the
j proceedings of this convention, and that
the committee be composed of residents
of Augusta.
G. B. Lamar, Esq. of Savannah, then
rose and that as the Augusta and
Charleston delegations had each borne
the expense of publishing the former pro
ceedings of this convention, he hoped the
Savannah delegation would be allowed
the privilege of doing soon the present
occasion; which was agreed to by the
convention, without a dissenting voice.
On motion of Judge Berrien, it was
unanimously
Resolved, That the thanks of this con
vention be tendered to the president, vice
presidents and secretary of this conven
tion, for the able manner in which they
have discharged their duties; that the
thanks of the convention be also return
ed to the trustees of the Presbyterian
church, for the use of their building, and
to the citizens of Augusta for their hos
pitality.
On motion of E. Bellinger,
Resolved, That our sincere thanks and
greatful acknowledgements be tendered
to Major Nathaniel W. Cocke, for the
promptitude, correctness and ability with
whicliJic has twice discharged the arduous
duty devolving on the secretary of the
commercial convention.
The convention then adjourned to meet
at Charleston on the third Monday in
April next.
[From the Mobile Examiner.]
THE DUTY OF TIIE PRESS.
Those who conduct the newspaper
press of this country have, at a time like
this, very important duties to perforin.—
They stand in a station of great responsi
bility towards their fellow citizens,, and it
will depend upon the manner in which
they fulfil their obligations whether they
applause or execratiou o*F the
public. We are in a time of great party
excitement—when men are warmly en
gaged in pulling down and setting up
men; and destroying and rebuilding poli
tical systems. Assuming, what we have
no right to question, that both are labor
ing for the welfare of the people, although
they differ as to the means best adopted
for the attainment of the end, the duty of
tlie press is most obvious. Its sole busi
ness should Ire a fair and candid discus
sion of the principles involved in the con
troversy and of the consequences of those
principles upon society; it should strive
neither to lead nor mislead, but merely to
enlighten the popular mind, that the ulti
mate decision of the public may as much
as possible approximate to the truth. If
those who direct the press would for a
moment reflect on their position in socie
ty, we feel assured that many things, which
have of late years tended to the degrada
tion of newspapers, until they have be
come the mere vehicles of personal abuse
and unmeaning slang, would be at once
repudiated; and their sheets, instead of
meriting thorough contempt, which they
now receive from all parties, would rise at
once into respect, and be really, what they
ought always to have been, the best possi
ble means of conveying instruction to the
people.
Editors of newspapers are, or ought to
be intelligent honorable gentlemen; and
their own self-respect should preserve
them from many of those abuses of their,
position, which have unfortunately became
so common. To any man of sense a tem
perate and well written disquisition upon
those subjects interesting to the people,
even though it oppose his own opinions, is
far more pleasing and satisfactory than a
buse, misrepresentation or quibbling can
be, although their design should be to
promote his own party views. And un
less editors forever disclaim all title to
the respect of the respectable, for the pur
pose of securing the applause of the igno
rant and vicious, who form the noisest
portion of every party, it seeins to us that
they should, in general, seriously think of
changing their course. But admitting
«w iJwtoit «r«s utterly
destitute of any other ambition than to se
cure a party triumph, they do not now
use the most proper means to effect this
purpose. The people of this country are
essentially intelligent. If they are led a
stray for a time, by unmeaning clamor, or
gross misrepresentation, they will in the
end discover the fraud and punish the per
petrator. No party can long triumph un
less its political tenets are clearly under
stood and honorably appreciated by the
people. By a great and combined effort,
delusions are spread for a time, and may
answer the temporary purpoee of pitiful
ambition; but they cannot, last long.—
The reaction is certain:
"Truth, crushed to earth will rise again,
The eternal years of God are hers;
and when she does rise, after a temporary
*. ,v
I™*“ •* «» inu»c»
•. I JWfc/W *
prostrations, wo unto those who hire m
sailed her! Even mere party spirit, there*
fore, if directed by common sense, »lHnld
lead the conductors of the [newspaper
press, to discuss principles rather thru at
tack men: and to enlighten the public
mind instead of laboring to increase the
number of their partizane right or wrong.
The people look to them for information,
and turn disgnsted away, at the falsehood
and contradictions with which they teem.
For reason they give us puerile verbosity;
for fact, they treat ua to fiction: and for a
fair description of public men and mea
sures, the foulest abuse and grossest mis
representations. The thing needs reform
—speedy, thorough reform—-or both news
papers and their conductors will be exclud
ed from society. It is the duty of the re
spectable portion of the profession to look
to it—and see whether some remedy may
not be found. DEMOCRITUS.
A Pious Engineer.— An'jEnglish pa
per relates the following singular anec
dote of Telford, the architect of the cele
brated Menai Bridge, and the discoverer
of the suspension principle.
We have been assured of the truth of
the following singular anecdote of. Tel
ford, the great architect of the bridge,
whose monument, it has been well said,
‘hangs over the Menai Streits.' A small
cottage had been fitted for his (Telford's)
use, and on the day on which the hopes
and expectations of his life were to be re
alized or blighted, when the first
was to be fixed connecting the two shores
together—when thousands had assembled
to witness the scene, and, as the time *p
proaced, were watching in breathless si
lence, Telford, unable to bear it any long
er, and utterly incapable, from agitation,
to give orders, retired to the little cottage,
and there with blinds down, awaited the
result. At the appointed hour, slowly
but securely, the immense chain rose front
the raft, and the bolt was fixed. A
long and long continued huzza from the
multitude told the event to the happy Tel
ford, and when the narrator of this inci
dent entered the cottage, Telford was on
his knees returning thanks to God for the
fulfilment thus far of the grand scheme of
his life.
Rather suspicious. Talleyrand was
once asked by a young Parisian lady, to
write his name in her album. From pny
one else, she said, she should expect more
but the Prince de Talleyrand? kit name
alone was sufficient. The suspicious old
statesman cast upon the blushing belle
one of those looks with which he was
wont to read the human heart by the ex
pression of the countenance, then took
the proffered pen, and wrote his name at
the very top of the page. Had he writ
ten it at the bottom or middle, be doubt
ed not but that he should nnd it the next
day at his banker’s, under an order for
some twenty or thirty thousand francs.
If the young lady really intended to swin
dle the old villain, her organ of seif es
teem must have been most largely devel
oped; for not even an Aspasia ceuld have
moved him to an act contrary to his inter
est.
Lord Kenyon’s Orthourapuyiw Soon
after Lord Kenyon was appointed Master
of the Rolls, he was listening attentively
to a young clerk who was reading to him
the conveyances of an estate, and who, on
coming to the word enough, pronounced
it enow. His Honor immediately inter
rupted him: “Hold, hold, you must stand
corrected —enough is, according to the
vernacular custom, pronounced enuff t and
so must all other English words which
terminate in ough, as for example:.tough,
rough, cough, &c.” The clerk bowed,
blushed and went on for some time, when
coming to the word plough, he with a
loud voice, and penetrating look si* Jus
Honor, called it plus! The great lawyer
stroked his chin, and with a smile candid
ly raid, “Young man, I sit corrected.”
