TJie Cotton Planter** Fair.
We have in this well-timed project an
enterprise which aeeka to accomplish the
right end by right means. Ita design
appears to he simply to bestow premiums
for every notable advenes by Southern plan
ters, merchants, mechanics, Ac., in the road
to Southern industrial independence, and
to bring their improvements to the general
notice of the Southern people. Wa bid it
God speed, without a tittle of reaervation
or a scrapie of hesitation. Discarding
everything that can possibly connect it with
. party politics, it afford* a common ground
for a “united South” to rally upon 5 con
templating (he advancement of lb# moat
vital interrats of the South, it appeals
loudly to every eeefion end every clsse for
co-operation- It hse been a common
complaint that Southern movemente and
convocations heretofore larked praetiea-
Vilify, and marely afforded vent for tl.*
vaporings of poliiieisne. Such on objection
cannot possibly he urged against the Macon
Fair, for its object and essence ie the
encouragement and promotion of aetoal
Southern progress. Stripped altogether of
any Mctions! purpose or feelilg, it la still
a movement demanded by a trua Southern
policy and eaiontial to a wholesome South
ern progrees. Let our whole people sustain
it with heart and hand I
Sectional I'.yuallty under democratic
Rule,
Twa or three years ago, a few miserable,
starving Indians in Ortgon and Washing-
ion Territories, driven to desperation by
the encroachments and aggressions of the
Northern white saltiers in tboaa Territories,
committed retaliatory depredations, and 1
war sprang up (“it you call it" utar, as
city auctioneer says when be “gives away 1
hia jewelry, to shoot down the poor savage*
Iron* a distance beyond the range of their
old-fashioned weapona.) Hut law whites
were killed, and those who ran olT to giro
the Indians every opportunity to destroy
their properly left but little to be destroyed.
Nevertheless they have brought in a bill
against the United State* lor some six
millions of dollars to re-imburs* them for
loasea consequent upon tb* failure of the
Government to protect them in time, though
United States troops wars hurried forward
rotn tb* nearest stations without daisy and
soou routed the ludisns. And Uncle Sam
will pay the greater part of that bill, deriv
ing moat of the money for that purpose
from tsxes paid by the South I
Three or lour months ago, a dispute
arose about the ownership oi a few barren
islands in the same region, and United
amfi&«| Jt/ifc’BM'tta
ha could not even lay peaceable claim to
worthless aand-bara if coveted by one of
our Northern Slstea or Territories. This
dispute |iaa not yet been aeltled, but it jias
created n heavy demand upon the Treasury,
of which the South must pay her full
proportion,
A few weeks later a large body of Mexican
bandits invaded (lie thinly-settled western
frontier of Texas, took and eackad the
t owns, and shot down the citizens in cold
blood. They held possession of the cuun-
ry, ravaging it with fire and sword, for
week after week, and mill no succor to lb*
Texans pame Irotn the Federal Iroopa. The
Government at Washington remained
indifferent and negligent, lhaugli entreated
in the most earnest manner logo to the
rescue. Finally ** granted two or three
cotupaniee, who arrived only after the Tex
ans had themselves mustered a furco o!
volunteers and wera about to commence
offensive operation!. And though months
bava elapsed since tho Mexican banditti
drat made their invasion, there ia yet no
adequate Federal force near the Rio Grand*
to repel thorn—the majority of the Ameri
can lorco being Texse volunteers—and the
enemy ettll hover about in strong numbers
end throat* 11 the Texan settlsmenls.
About the same time, John llrown'a foray
upon Virginia was made, and thu Adminis
tration, when appealed to by tha Governor
of Virginia lor a defensive force, fla.lv
refused to go farlber than k to protect the
Government property at Harper’# Ferry,
pleading lack of power to dispose of the
Federal troopa in auch a way as to prevent
a repetition al the invasion and tha runnier
oil oi Virginia sieves! A bill is now
pending before the Legislature of Virginia,
appropriating $U>0,000 to defray tha expense
of detesting this Invasion and guarding the
alsvo frontier, and it is uncertain whether
an application will even ha made tv. Con-
. grots to refund to Virginia her expenses in
repelling an Invasion from Northern Stales I

An Important Convention*
Tho Whigs and other opponents of tb*
parly in power will hold a Btata Conven
tion at Kichmond, Va., on the 32d day oi
February, and the several counties of the
State aie tending to it large and able
delegations. '! no object la to organise a
conservative National Opposition Party, and
though it is only a State Convention, the
Whigsol New York City have appointed
flvo del< (Tates to represent them therein.
Probably delegation# will also b* sent by
the Wings and Americana of otbsr Slatss,
and a basis will b* established for the
organisation of a party whose power will
be felt in the coming Presidential election.
We have no doubt that tb* Whiga of old
Virginia will assert correct political princi
ples and start lb* ball in a proper direction,
apd we »liall hail aa brothers all recruits
Ijom the North who may rally around apeh
a standard.
Vtaatxu xnd Mouth Carolina.—Resolu
tion# have been introduced into the Virginia
Legislature (in the House) declaring "thai
while w* lecoguise an imperative nsceasily

tion of thiugs, yet w* believe that prompt
and clllctenl co-operation can be more aalely
obtained by the direct and authoritative
action of the conaiituted authentic* of the
Southern Stataa than through the agency of
an assemblage which can have no legiti
mate power 1 xerpt to debate and advise.
Therefore, the General Assembly of Vir
ginia will not at thia time undertake to
invite any conference of Comtuisaioners
appointed by the authorities of the Southern
State*.” |
It 1* supposed that soma such answer
will bo returned to tho proposition of South
Carolina.
tho
ipcratic support,
with I hit end in
e believe that it
got so much Difference.
Tha Timet think* that w* have materi
ally misapprehended the purpose of the
proposed Convention of the Southern Btatoe
at Atlanta. It say that “It ia not ‘to bold
a Convention in ih# event of tho election
#f a Block Ret ublican President,’ but it ie
to hold Convention of the Southern
Stale*, anirunr to the Presidential election,
to consult up n the course of action proper
10 ba tsken in view of wbat hae happened
and wbat probably will happen to affect
position in the Federal Union. It ia
proposed that any State shall be bound by
the action of said Convention.”
W* perceive that wo wrote nnder
misapprehension a# to the time lor the
assembling of the Convsntion; but we do
not think that we at all misunderstrod the
definite aim had in view. The resolution!
of the South Carolina Legislature, making
the call, are net at hand
before us tke resolutions of the Legislature
of Mississippi responsive to that call, end
these resolutions explicitly aay that Miss
issippi eeconds the raovemeut of South
rolina in order to prepare to meet the
lontingoncy of the election of a Black
Republican President. However resolutions
on this subject may be warded, it is gener
ally understood that this contingency is the
emergency contemplated, *nd the Demo
cratic press of the Southern Stales gener
ally take the ground that the election cf a
Black Republican to the Presidency would
be a sufficient justification for forcible
resistance or a dissolution of the Union.
It is this idea which we wish to be under-
atoed as combatting—for we maintain that
tbe Constitution proscribes no man or parly
for bis or their epiniont, and that the South
can only resist tide or measures of aggres
sion, which we think »1 ought to have
i'ino before ibis time, * she acquiesced in
tnem because they had
W e oppose the movemt
eiew, moreover, because
is calculated to bring about tbe very contin
gency which it siraa at resisting. We
believe that such a menace thrown in the
faces of (he Noitbern people will arouse
many of them to vote for a Black Republi
can President with a view of vindicating
their perfect equality under the Constitu
tion. Wa know that if they have the spirit
of the Southern people, a menace like this
must have such an effect 1 for what high-
minded Southern politician would aeglect
an opportunity to resent a threat pul foilb
by a Convention of Northern States that
iu the event of tbe election of a man hold
ing certain obnoxious Southern ideas they
would dissolve tha Union 1

Wa yesterday copied Irom the Etifauia
Spirit of the South a short paragraph
announcing that the mail contractor on the
route from Eufaula to Marianna had ilwnn.
--- —.-.v» wt.-i.nuae me Government
wae in arrears to him; and the Spirit addu
ced llii# as a sample of the value of the
benefit* which tho South derives from the
Federal Union. Lika most of tho griev-
ancea of the South (and she has had many
grievances), a very cursory investigation
will show that thia deprivation ia the result
of bad adminittretien, and that tha Con
stitution of the Union ha* nothing to do
with it. The contractor bad to throw up
because the Government could not pay him,
and the Government could not pay h m
simply because of Democratic mismanage
ment. During the last Congress, which
ought to hero made tho appropriation fur
thia service up to thu lat of July next, tho
Democracy had rr lira control of every
branch and ovary Department ol the Gov-
eminent. They I tiled to paaa the Poal-
0flics Appmpriotion bill, aud the paople of
th* South liivo suffered in conscqueace.
Tha cause n! (be failure was two-fold—
first, tha poi-'ponemmt of no iropormnt a
bill to the very heel of the session ; and
second, the factious course of Senator
Toombs, by which he intentionally killed it.
“The Union” cannot be made the scape
goat In thia iustance-—Democracy must
shoulder the responsibility. And most of
tbe other grievances of thu South can be
traced only to the same rsusr. Tho escape
and running off of to insny of her slaves
to free Stales, and the shameful neglect ol
protectiou to tho Southern frontiers from
Indian end Mexican depredations, are not
atlributablo to the lack or laws and of
authority vested in (ho Executive, hut
simply to tho indifference or hostility of a
'democratic Administration. Let ua try a
g* of administrators before we resort
change of the form of government—
let the perverse or incompetent captain and
pilot b* discharged, and other officer* be
motand, before wo desert the ship

Mr. Pennington was circled Speaker of
tbe House of Representatives by the vote of
all the Black Republicans and People’s
Parly men, united with those of five
snti-Lecompton Democrats, viz.: Messrs.
Adrian, Haskin, Hickman, Reynolds and
Schwartz, and Mr. Davis of Md., a “South
American.” The course of tho latter is
denounced with much severity by the Dem
ocratic papers, and not without some cause ;
but it ought to be borne in mind that Mr.
Davis refused to affiliate wiih the Black
Republicans in this election until all hope
of electing a ."-outhrrn man wa* given up,
and ha was presented tbe alternative of
choosing a moderate Republican or simply
delaying an organization without a hope of
ever getting a more acceptable presiding
officer. We regret thst he did not act w
the balance of the Southern Opposition
keeping up the contest still longer; hut his
long consistent co-operation with them
presenting to the Democracy Southern c#
didate* whom they eould have elected if
they hid chosen, ought to bu set down to
bis credit.
Mr. Briggs of N. Y.. though on the day
of the final balloting lie parted company
with the Southern Opposition for iheTiral
time, is admitted by ail parlies to have acted
honorably and in good faith. We copy in
anoiher column his explanation made on
giving his vote fur Mr. Smith on the j.,
preceding the election of Pmnington.
The. subsequent nomination of John W.
Forney as Clerk of the House, and hit
election by the same majority as Penning
ton’s, go fsr towards proving that there was
a preconcerted coalition, contemplating a
division of the spoils, between tho Black
Republicans and tbe Douglas Democrats;
ami -the nomination and election of Mr.
Hoffman of Md. as Bergraril-al-urrris, indi
cate that Mr. Davis of Md. wna alao privy
to the arrangement.
We make thia analysis and comment of
(be vote, with no disposition to keep up an
angry sectional controversy, which we trust
will be somewhat allayed by this election,

Some of the anti-Cobh Democratic papers
have been publishing a report, said to be
obtained from Washington, to the effect
that Mr. Cobb himself ignore* the octiun of
tbe December Milledgevilla Convention of
tha Democratic party, and advises his friends
to submit to the decision of the Convention
to be held in March, liut the Athena Ban
ner cruelly dispels that illusion. It says
that it is “authorized” to say that Gov.
Cobb’s opinion is that “the Convention in
December was legitimately called, and fairly
held, and that the delegates appointed by
it ara the regular aud lawfully appointed

further says that it will be a question
for these dclrgates themselves to decide,
whether they will claim or abandon the

and on this point wo copy as follows

Sunday being New Year’s day, of course
all the business usually transacted on that
day Wna postponed urilil Monday tho 2d
inat. Late in tho afternoon tf Monday, u
telegram from Apalachicola announced to
the citizens of Maiianna that the steamer
Marianna—named in compliment to our
town—would be nt Hodgson’# Landing the
noxl day by one o’clock, ready to receive
tho Flag, or rather “Ault of Colors,” which
the cit zen* of Jackson county intended to
present to hor Captain, aa a token ol
their acknowledgment of the compliment
in the nimo selected for hia Boat.
The intelligence waa communicated to
the citixona ol our viciutty, and befere the
appointed hour quite a number had assem
bled at the Lauding, and raised the Color#
to a temporary polo to await the arrival of
tho beautiful steamer. True to the hour
■he came coutaing her way through the
muddy waters or the then swollen river,
and as she approached tha shore three
hearty cheer* welcomed her to the plaee
appointed, which were returned with great
ardor, especially by th* sahlo part of th*
crew. In a moment the was mad* fast, and
(’apt. Van Yriqhton with hia officers came
on abort, and after exchanging a friendly
grasp with bis acquaintances, he was form
ally introduced to the company by Hon.
J. B. Roulhac in a fqw appropriate remarks.
After acknowledging the introduction by
a graceful how, he wa* add rested by
Misa Annie Ely, tho orator, in a beautiful
and eloquent manner, acknowledging the
compliment of tha steamer’s name and
paying a just and deserving tribute to tbe
pianeeia of her Captain, who first explored

in better hands, and believing that they
never would bo dishonored or permitted to
trail in tbe dust. The oration was beau
tiful in conception, chaste in expression,
aloquanl in delivery, and exceedingly
unique.
Capt. Van Veighton responded in a
warm, heartfelt and apontaneoua manner,
acknowledging the compliment, returning
his thanks, and inviting “all hands aboard”
to inspect the boat and partake of a repast
provided for th# occasion. Tha pressure
and confusion of getting aboard dispelled

and ere we departed the champagne ha 1
called forth niaay brilliant sallies of wit—

Delighted with the entertainment we
went ashore, and thu noble boat backed out
and bid us farewell by repeated blasts of
her whistle, which were regularly answered

Resolved, That tho Hon. Thomas Butler
King be appointed an associate with C<d.
Howell Cobb and Col. John B. Thomas, and
that he bo requested to accompany those
gentlemen to Europe, as representative! ol

To disabuse the public mind of miscon
ception in reference to our policy, we stale,
once for ail, that wo srek, aa far aa in U"
lies, to establish direct trade witn Europe
nu t fice trade. We are not visionaiie*—
wo me not speculative political economists.
We are practical farmer* ; and wo wish to
work subrtariliaily for the best interests of
the Whole South, in this matter. That our
merchant# from tbe interior ought to buy
their goods from New Orleans Mobile, Sa-
vttinab, Chailrston, Norfolk, Baltimore, or
a one one or more of thtse places, is a prop
osition which only need# to be staled, in
view of the present state of our Common
wealth.
