LIVELY &CLAI VOLUME XI. j ■WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 11, 1851. “ EXTREMES MEET.” This is a favorite knock-down argument j of the Union Subrnissionists; and when ! they can show that abolition fanatics North ! &: South, are both hostile to the union, they ! seem to feel that they have done enough to 1 convince every Southern man that he is j absolved from every obligation of duty to j defend his rights under the constitution of j the Government, But it so happens that | there is a meeting of other extremes, be- ! sides these. The Unionists South & North, ‘ more frequently meet in their blind adora- j tion of a union, no longer what it was, than do the disunionffrts. Mr “Higher , Law” Seward and his gang of constitution j breaker#*put to shame even Mr Cobb’s j glowing professions of attachment to the | union. And it is very suspicious that both i these gentlemen love the union for a very j similar reason. For both have use for j it. If there is no union, how is the one to | become President and the other a Vice- 1 President! Mr Seward wants to preserve j the union, but it must be a union abolition- | ized, and devoting all its powers of legis- ; lation and of force to emancipate slaves.— Mr Cobb wants to preserve the union, too; j but what sort of a union, it would be hard j to say. For we should be chary of en- j trusting with the administration of this I Government, a Southern man, who has ! never bei n able to find anything but bless- j ings to the South in the compromises (!) o : 1850. We make these remarks simply to in troduce to the notice of our readers a chapter on the Northern manifestions of unionism, taken from the Mobile Tribune. Let the people beware ert’ this union cry.— Mr Toombs was inspired as the very ora cle of a great truth, tersely arid eloquent ly expressed, when ho declared*“the cry i of union was a masked battery, from be- I hind which the rights of the South were as-! I sailed.” j “WHAT’S TO PAY!” i ‘l'he ‘Enquirer’ came out. yesterday morn ing, one week and one day nf’er lhe tnun of HOWELL COBB, without j hoisting the Washington nominee to its j ; co 1 timrjfhfadjtend without so much as aii j ludingtothe nomination. This is so queer jas to require elucidation. Why, our neigh. 1 bor ought to have .jujjped’ likea hungry w ill deUend-*d jaws at the great tJnhon gad fl<f. But our neighbor is oblig- 1| ied to conn'to taw, and be may as well do it with a good grace and cheerful spir it. The’ cards were all shuffled and dealt ,at Washington last winUR. Uobb is trumps, and the EnquirbF must follow ! suit. MR WEBSTER—A VISIT SOUTH, is reported in the Nmtheni papers ™(%f“Websto'fftnntphites turning his footsteps Southward, after having made bis bow and “ defined his position” to the North in his late “ progress” in those States. The N Y Herald thinks the visit would be a “great event,” and is particu larly overcome at the idea of Mr Web ster’s visiting “Georgia.” Georgia has done so much for the union, is such a rail road, manufacturing, speculating,-’ enter prising and money-making, State, thatin the opinion of the “Herald.” Mr Wfchsfer would be precisely in an edement genial to his feelings, and in which he, could do great good and give great joy. No man j can fail to admire the towering intellect of Daniel Webster. We bow in this hom age of admiration ourself, and cheerfully accord all the praise he deserves for such services as he has done to the countin’. — But it is the acme of folly, to regard Mr Webster, as some of the union parasites at the South are disposed to do, as an ex emplar of sound constitutional construc tion on the slavery question. An atten j five consideration of all that Mr Webster lias said and done, since the question was agitated, will show that he is not a man for the South to lem upon. To say noth ing of his position years back, when he openly courted Free Soil power, and pro fessed Free Soil principles—nay more, boasted that he was the author of those principles, and that the Van Burens at Buffalo had only stolen his thunder; and looking at his conduct, only, since his ap parent conversion from Free Soil to Con stitutional Unionism, 3c itwill be foundthat the key to his course has been the danger of the union. The preservation of the tin idn was the great end he had in view, and his sentiments have been just exactly so far Southernized as in his opinion was ne cessary to effect his purpose. And after all the high sounding eulogy on Mr Web ster’s patriotic course —after all his mas sive speeches couched in an English dic j tion of Websterian purity and grandeur— Tatter all the talk about his love of country, | that knows no limits short a-1 ides of the union; after all this, what we 1 ask is the extent of Mr Webster’s Southern iration ! Simply this—that the Fugitive Slave ad ought to be enforced. Mr Web ster has told the North, the compact to de liver fugitives is in the Constitution, and the constitution must be obeyed. This is , the whole sum and substance ol it. Is not I the South humbled indeed, when she is re duced to be thankful to Northern great men, for admitting that she is entitled to j the faithful fulfilment of a constitutional ! stipulation! What a mighty condescen sion ! And yet for this, there are white livers at the South who would make Mr Webster President! Make him President with all his other sins on his head. Although he had declared that he was against the IVilmot Proviso only because free soil was secured without it—although he has within two weeks openly reiterated the most of fensive and galling of all the prohibitions of abolitionism, to-wit: that “no new slave State shall be admitted into the union”— neither Cuba, nor Tamaulipas, New Leon, nor Coahuila; and although he is aTree soil and a free nigger man, in every pos sible view and aspect of the question, ex cept that he is for maintaining thejugitive net. What forgiving people are these Southerners! We can imagine the curl of Mr Webster’s fine lip at the crudelity, and ‘,he flash of his dark eye at the treachery to the South, of meu, who are so easily caught with Websterian chaff. Tire whole truth is this—Mr Webster has taken up the idea (little creditable as it is to the South) that it will be perfectly satisfied if it can only retain the Fugitive act on the Statute Book; and that the South will forgive all else, endure all else, close its eyes to the dangerous tendencies of all else, except the repeal of that act. — In short Air. Webster has become con vinced that the South will “be pleased with a rattle and tickled with a straw” and he has determined to gratify them for the pur pose of saving the Union. But as to abat ing one jot of his Northern prejudice, *or modifying or changing one solitary ,free soil principle, Mr. Webster has neither done, or pretended to do it. The Savan nah News well remark# that the party in Georgia that assumes to be the exponent of Mr. Webster’s principles, will not pub lish his speeches. An4th“ reason is, what we have stated—that support ot the right, (>t fugitive reclamation* because it is in the Constitution, the sole basis of his claim to justice and conservation to the South. The fillowim; sentimentuitered by Mr. Web ster in his speech to the people of western New, if orb*at Buffalo, Ih'’ hotjied of*Abolition and the home of Mr. Fillmore, ami a snpech which his Southern admirers will not. publish, is clearly indi cative of his opinions on the Slavery question: ••Gentlemen, I regret extremely that slavery ex. isls in tha Southern States, and that Congress bus no power to act upon it. Birr thkkk may he ix rue DISPKXSATIOX OK PsOVIDEXCK SOME IIKIIIK nv FOUND FOR, IT.” * * * * * “My sympathies, all my sympathies, my love of liberty for mankind of every color, are the, same as yours. My affections and hopes in that respect are exactly like yours. I wish to sec all men free, all men happy. I have no association out of the North ern States. My people are your people. And yet I am told sometimes that I am not a liberty man, because I am not a Freesoil man.” “HELP ME CASSIUS, OR I SINK.” The “Columbus Enquirer” and its'Mil- , ledgeville correspondent find it necessary to cry out lustily for help against that “contemptible faction,” the Southern Rights Party, Friend “T.” thinks that if the “Union party is not wideawake” it will ! see sights before long ! Our “Enquirer” j neighbor has very considerably lowered the regal strain in which he has been ac customed to sweep away the Southern Rights party with a dash of his mighty goose-quill. All this is very refreshing. It K is symptomatic that the humbug is wearing out under the drippings of time, and the ‘masked battery” being unmasked, has lost its deadlv effect upon the minds of an in telligent people. Last year, the battle was fought in a panic, and the Fillmore, Cobb and’Toombs Coalition bad all the benefit of the Sauve qiti pent excitement. This year, principles are affirmed and de nied and submitted to the, arbitrament of the people. The question j s , is this a Government of Consent or of Force — a con federation of Sovereign States, or a Gov ernment of consolidated action and pow ers al! cantered at Washington. And this question is deeply augmented in interest, when it is clear to every intelligent mind, that on its solution hangs ttys rights and the power of the South to defend and main tain its slave property.

ION CONVENTION, The proceedings of (his Convention, or j properly speakinu of tile Consolidation I Union Convention, will be found in our ; paper tins morning as copied from tjie [ Southern Recorder. Had we time n<r.y, ! i ivecould give some interesting annotations, j and supj’lv s- me omissions, to tliey ritlen i record. We had the good fortune to be a spectator of the curious edifying medley of politicians and patriots which this Con vention presented. llieie was much of individual respectability and intelligence in it. We regret that the opening address of the President, the Hon. John J Floyd, was j not reduced to writing, and given to the public. We unite in the hope that it may yet see the light. We were struck with the emphatic manner with which lie de. livered the following remark: “Before the ors'anizution of lh<-• Constitutional Union Party, I was a whig, and I gloried in- the name and prirfciples of the Whig party, j But now I come not here as a Whig, nor :do you corneas Whigs or as Democrats. We come together as Union men.” There was here no recantation of whiggery—no declaration that rts were less dear than formerly. We presume there i fore, whiggery has lost none of its vitali ty with him. nor with his Whig associates in the new organization. It is 4 not dead, but slumbers, and in due time will awake in pristine energy after they have got through with their (frofes#<! task of sav i ing the Union. The honorable President j took occasion also, with rather smalLcour tesy, as we thought, both to the Couvsn ’ tion and its candidate, that was to be select | ed, m prejudging, prescribing and dicta- j ■ ting its action, tend thaMaiulidifte’s course. [.Says he, “You are noffissombled to adopt j any new principles, or put forth any new ! j issues, but to reaffirm the platform of the j Georgia Convention of 1850, and to select Ia standard bearer to maintain them He ; s to promulge no new principles—he is neither to add to, nor to take away- from | that platform.” i We quote from memory, but are sub-! stantially, and almost verbally, accurate, j Sure enough, what the libnoiabli? Presi : dent had foreshadowed was all duly ar ranged; whether by the Macon Regency or by himself, Toombs & Cos., that were i present, or both combined, it is not for us i jto say. Butcertes there was the Hon Robert Toombs, ready to move, and who, j : in due time, did move, for a Committee of! i Three from each judicial circuit, to report i ! matter for the action of the Convention.; Doubtless the report was a.ready cut and j 1 dried in his pocket. lhe Committee up- ! j pointed, he being Chairman, the Conven- | i tion adjourned till 4, —at which : i time*he t was ready to report, and didre ; P orU .

He said, .if we expected her- to secede, we. ■I would he like the boy who waited lor the I sky to fall to catch larks. If the Union is : not destroyed til! she secedes, it will last a ; thousand years. I will 6e security for her to keep th? peace, fora trifle.” We thought, “truly then, here is “much ado about nothing.” This being I::s real opinion, and that of his associates in Convention, it would be more consistent and more slates main ike to have said less about disunion, and more about practical issues. If there is no danger of disunion in their eyes trom South Carolina secessionists, we cannot conceive how Georgia tire eaters can cause them real disquietude, or give a reasonable pretext for their efforts to alarm the people. iitter Mr: Toombs’ .-q eech was finished the Convention wertt through the form of a nomination, by acclamation, ot the Hon. Howell Cobb as the candidate for Gover nor—or in other words acquiesced in, and ] ratified the nomination already made al Washington City, and endorsed by “The Macon Regency.” It was notorious that, a number of mem bers did not acquiesce with, very great clieerfulness* Some preferred Mr Jenkr ms, and greatly desired h.s nomination. Others pieferred Judge Warner, and some were instructed to vote for him. But par ty drill is sometimes inexorable, and the Convention bowed unanimously to its be hests. —The United Slates steamer Franklin, Captain Wooten, left her dock at Nmv .

EF” Dnrine ihe mouth of April, 24.000 emigrants embarked from Liverpool tor the United States . Fron, tfac Mnhilo -W.hniA, IF One of the most notable things now in the political condition of the north, is the sudden change which bascom, over the extreme abolition party, as well as those less ultra men, Sumner, Seward John Brown, Horace Mann, and their co adjutors in relation to the value ofthe Union. We refeired not long ago to this subject; and since then, the development have be come plain and convincing. There is no Union club in the south, which holds sounder opinions on this sub ject; and,ifthe erv of Union be a suffi cient reason for supineness or the appro bation of politicians in the south, we do not set- why we may not disband our Southern Associations and accept the ’ pledges hf Douglass, Sumner and all of that restless crpw. The reader, how evei, must recollect that words, in the es timation of politicians, govern the world, and that any astute man may use them to conceal, not explain, his thoughts. But our object is to furnish a few of ihe j proofs in behalf of the Unionism of aboli i tion Gin. At the furious abolition c.invention held a few days ago in N. York si.a'<e, a prop osiiion was made to encourage certain newspapers. Among ifie number was Fred. Douglass’s North Star and another one, whose name we. have forgotten. To this latter someone objected, because lit was not m favor of disunion. Fred ! Douglass (negro) rose and declared that if that were an objection his North Star should have also to be stricken from the list. He was not in lavor ofdisuni il or j secession, for, said he, “1 do not regard the constitution as pro-slavery document and, therefore, (he North Star cannot ay it is.” It was thought that the constitution is a very excellent thing for abolitionism and good to fight under in behalf of that cause. These sentiments have been embodied in the resolutions, passed by the abolitionists. The following they adopted unanimous ly. •• Jlesolved, That we will not, for slave in Iders or slavery, abandon the Union, but wili fight tin and light ever, for freedom and the rights of man, -is the best means of saving the Union from the destructive influences and reckless policy ofthe advo cates of the lower law. Resolved, That as freemen, we demand of Gougress that the lugitive law and a.I proceedings pertaining thereto, be expun ! god from the records of the nation.” it will he recollected that Sumner Fish I Seward, John Buien and others are now the strongest sort of Union men. But it is not only in resolutions and let ters that this has become apparent. That extremelWiigher law journal, the Boston : Commonwealth of the 19th inst., says: “Appeals will also be made in be naif of ! ttfe Union; as if tins were really in danger, and as if the opponents of the fugitive slave bill were not among its truest friends, No persons of intelligence, who are not in lire leading strings of the politicians of State stieet will herd such efforts. For j ouiselves we shall persevere attonce in sus -1 taining the Union and opposing slave ty, ! when we can do so constitutionally. The charge against us of being disunionists, is i shatnelt ssin effiontry, It bejongs, how ! evi-r, to the weapons with which the | friends of freedom have been encounter.

The ultras are gradually-falling policy, and ihe result, we predict, will soon be a total a { malgainat’on of all of them to influence the I elections. This is the most dangerous j feature now existing in the progress of tile ! cause at the north. Again, Two facts will be seen in this morning’s paper—first, that the Illicit | Presbyterian General Assembly ['new ! schqol ) has rejected all piopositions to in i terfere with slavery'. The bare fact, how ; ever, does not convey a correct idea. It , is qjiite apparent that in that Assembly the i anti-slavery feeling lias bet orne stronger, and the probability is that within a year or tivo it Will be ault; to carry its point.— Tins fact is indicated much more distinct- TV ui the debates of the assembly than in its votes. Secondly, the .Methodist church ; of New Hampshire lias just come out u gainst slavery and declared that the fugi tive 1 w must be repealed These are two important facts. Still further. Mr. Webster has become a great exemplar among certain people m the south, for his efforts in b half of the compromise. .Mr. Webster lost iiis slulv by this, and what now do we see?

On the 22d inst. he delivered a speech at Buffalo, of which in another column, will be found an extract that came by telegraph. After it was in type we received the whole speech, and are amazed at the opposition to slavery which in evinces,. Here is qn extract: “i am a northern man. I was born in the nor h, educated at the north, have lived all my days at the north. I know five hundred northern ttfen to one southern man.

MCDONALD’S ACCEPTANCE. To Messrs. Wiggins , Howard, Jones, Gardner , and Lamar, Committee. Gentlemen:—l received to-day, your letter informing me of my nomination, as a candidate for tiie office of Governor of the Stale of Georgia, by “Southern men, democrats and wliigs,” recently assembled in Convention at M illed gv ville, and ask ing my acceptance. A call, thus made, Jdo not feel at liberty to decline. With my profound acknowledgements to the Convention, for the confidence implied in the nomination, l assure you, as itsorgan, that if its selection should be ratified by the people, every obfigaiioii imposed on Die by the constitutions, Slate and Federal, and the laws, enacted in confeimity there to, shall be faithfully fulfilled. You will permit me to say, that the vol untary sacrifice of old party feelings to the cause of constitutional freedom, as evinced by the proceedings of the Convention, af fords the most gratify ing evidence that the parly ol the Cdustitution is determined to sustain the Union of the States, on ihe principleion which our venerated ances tors, with life b'essing of God, established it. On no other foundation can it stand. If the beautiful principles of equality and justice on which it rests, are disregarded and set al naught, what is there to bind the affections of the people to it? The ha biiual violation of these principles by the Federal authorities, whenever the inter est of the Southern planter is to bo affect ed by their action, has shaken the confi dence of many of the good citizens of the country, in the disposition of the General Government, to respect ihe constitutional rights ofthe people of this section of the Union. In no instance has there been a more flagrant and fatal violation of tiiem than in the adoption by Congress of the measures referred torn the seventh reso lution of the Convention. It is claimed for them that they are a compromise. It is a fraud upon an injured people to call them so. The proposition was made in the Senate by a Senator from Kentucky, known to be favorable to the gradual abo lition of Slavery in his own State, and en tertaining the opinion that the law of the Mexicans, prohibiting slavery, became a law to t heir conquerors and over ruled their laws and political regulations by which slavery is tolerated. It no where appears that the measures were concerted with Senators holding diffluent opinions, and representing interests to bo affected by them. They were referred to a commit tee of thirteen, on the election of which a bare majority of Senators voted.—The re port of the committee varied in some degree from the proposition’ of the Senator: and put in the form of an offer of compromise, amounts to about this: “If the Southern States will give up ail pretension to the erection of a slave State on the Mexican territory; if they will agree that Texas shall sell an iinn.er.se Territory on which, according to the compact with her, a free State cannot be erected without her con ! sent; if they will permit territorial Gov ernments to be erected in Utah and New M -xic', with the understanding, that the Mexican laws are of force there, arid as effectually exclude slavery therefrom as the Wiimot Proviso, if enacted cou.d do, then, the said territorial Governments shall be erected on principles of non-inter, ventinn; and more efficient laws -shall be enacted for tire execution of the | revision of ‘he constitution by which fugitives from service or labor are required to be delivered to their owners.”—But even this, when made as a compromise—a proposition by which the South was to surrender every thing—all rialit, now and forever, to the Territories of the Union, as a considera tion, that a clear constitutional engage ment should be fulfilled, was rejected.— On what principle could it have been re jected, but on the ground that the domi nant majority in Congress, was unwilling to pass it as a Compromise—a bargain not to be violated—a law nut tube repealed or altered? It is no answer tosny, that the measures embraced in the proposition were after wards amended and passed. On theconr trary, it establishes the position; for the same majorit) that amended them as sep arate measures, had the pow er to amend them as they cam from the committee of thirteen. The serious resistance made at the North to the execution of the fugitive slave law, and their election ofthe Sena tors and representatives on pledges that they will insist on its repeal, or essential modification, so as to de- troy its value as a remedy, under the constitution, prove that it is not regarded tlieie as a compro mise. But if it be a compromise, it is a compromise by which the interests^of the weaker |.arty are sacrificed. The rapidly increasing slave popuiatir nos the South is pent up; therg is no bullet for it. The siavesare to remain here<ihe work of the abolitionist is to be accomplished, either through the vast multiplication ofthe race or by the change of the constitution, to be effected by the early formation and admis sion of free States into the Union. Con siderations like‘these, induced ine as one of my State’s representatives, in the South ern Convention, to endeavor to bring a bout united action, on the part of the States interested in this great subject, to arrest the progress of usurpations, which if con tinued, must result in the overthrow of con stitutional liberty and the subversion of the Union. A demand of their rights, embra cing but the equality and justice guaran teed by the Constitution, made with firm ness and moderation, by qll the Southern States united as oneman,must have exer ted the happiest influence. In inyjiumble judgement its effects would ere now, have been seeti in its fruits of justice in the Gov ernment, and peace and harmony among the States and the people. But this could not be accomplished; and the ing been done, each State must judge for ( tself without consultation with the regt in | NUMBER 26 sisters,has met in her sovereign capacity, and her people have determined, to pret ermit the outrage committed on her rights by the admission of California into the Union as a State, with her highly objec tionable Constitution. This they have done, not from any affection they have for the measure or the policy which dictated it, but from their extraordinary forbearance and encouragement to hope, trom theagree able proclamation of some of their sentinels on duty, that “all’s well • ” Their decision ought not to be disturbed, however much it muy conflict with individual opinions.*— In a Government of law and order, such decisions must be considered authoritative. They are the will of the people. If the people have authority to say, that they will resist, and to determine the extent of that resistance, they have the like authority to say that they will net resist This prin ciple! hold tube incontrovertible, and ne cessary ‘to the safety and happiness of man kind. The right of a State, in virtue of its in dependence and sovereignty, to secede from Hire Union, whenever the people thereof, in their sovereign capacity, shall determine such a step to be necessary to effect their safety a.id happiness, flows ne eessarily from the nature of our Govern ment organization. The Government of the Union was formed for the purpose of protecting the States and people from for eign aggression, and promoting justice and peace among,, themselves to the same ex tent, and in as ample a manner as each State might have secured these objects for itself and its: people, by treaty or otherwise had it retained its sovereignty. It is a Government for protection, not for offence. Each State came voluntarily into the Union for these objects; and if the Government fails to give this protection and security, it follows, that the State has the right to take care of itself. This is no new principle. Three of the States, New York, Virginia and Rhode Island, on coming into the Un ion, declared that the powers ot the Gov ernment may be re-assumed by the people whenever it shall become necessary to their happiness. It thus became a condition of their adoption of the Federal constitution. The people of Massachusetts in their hill of rights, (embodied in their constitution,) declare that the people alone have an incontestable, unalienihle and indefeasible right to irutitute Government and to reform, alter, and totally change the same, when their protection, safety, prosperity aid happiness require it. The States of Maine, New. Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, Mississippi, Alabama and some olheis, have adopt ed the same principles in sub-lance. The Slates of New Huinpshire, friary land and Tennessee, have each declared in its constitution, lhat ‘‘the doctrine ol non-re-istance against arbitrary power, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.” Upon the principle of the right of resistance and the right of secession from the Union, the people of Georgia through their delegates, re. cently met in convention, have declared that the Stale in their judgment, will aid ought to resist, even to a disruption ol every lie which binds her to the Union, any such action of Congress as is mentioned in the resolution, containing the decla ration. Hut inasmuch, as the people of Georgia have determined, solemnly, in Convention, that for | rune of the past wroncs of the General Govern ment, however aggravated they may he, will the State exercise this unquestionable right, it is suffi cient to consider it as set down by our people, as , a [ olitica! axiom, to be acted ori, whenever in their judgment, the evils of the Union, more than coun. tei balance its benefits. The constitution is the compact of Union, and our safety depends on a strict construction of it. It is to our country, what the l>ible is to the Chris tian, and a departure from it will be fatal to our polit. ical security. But we cannot be blind to the (act that for some time past little respect has been paid 10 it, and that the tendency of the Government is to con solidation. We must return to its principles as expounded by the apostles of republicanism in ’9B and ’99, or our noble fabric will fall to pieces, jjet us do all wo can as a State, lo pseserve it. Let us insist oil the lull measure of justice to ourselves, tor a people who do not value their own rights, need j not hope that they will be respected by others. We i must use the means in our power, and they are | abundant, to enlighten the public mind, bring edu- > cation to the door of every man, trusting to the | ministers of our holy religion to spread the princi. pies of morality and justice among our people, and having done all that depends on human effort to preserve the glorious Constitution of our ancestors, hope for the blessing of God upon our exertions, as the means of saving the Confederacy on the terms and in the purity, it was His good will it should he established. 1 have the honor lobe Gentlemen, Very res'x-ctfully Yours, ’ cha’s. j. McDonald. That Brag. — The Augusta Constitution alist thus notices the boast of the Griffin Union, that Cobb will beat McDonald 10,- 000 votes : “This calculation of beating Charles J McDonald 10,000 votes, has been made be fore. We well remember a circumstance re lated to us by a Whig friend, an intelligent man, but given to be over-sanguine, as occurring in 1841. He was at Washington City shortly after the nominations of Col Wnt C Dawson by the Whigs, and Charles J McDonald by the Democrats, for Gov- i ernor, were made. 14c was asked by a ! Whig member of Congress from Georgia, j what he thought of the election. “ Oh,” i replied he “Col Dawson will beat McDon- | aid ten thousand votes.” “I am ot the ; same opinion,” replied the M. C. Our friend related the conversation to J us shortly attor the election was over, and : added, “I honestly believed what I said at the time, and so did a great many others.” j As Col Dawson was in Congress at the j time, pethaps he may recollect hearing something of the circumstance. We will not mortify our whig friends by ! mentioning how many thousand votes the j other way the election turned out. Suffice | it, our friend Col Dawson, was not elected by 10,000, or by any other n umberof votes j but he had the pleasure of drinking short ly after at the Executive mansion, as the guest of our mutual friend, GovMcDonald , a glass of good Madeira, H long life and j prosperity” to each other. • i Moral— -> ‘Never count chickens before they \ are hatched .” Cheering News.— We have received; accounts from various counties through | which Davisartd Brown have passed since j they left Jasper, which communicate the intelligence of the rapid adyance of the cause of the South in the minds of the great mass of the people—that those gen tlemen were received with shouts ofap plause wherever they have spoken, and produced a deep and lasting impression Upon the minds of all who heard them. If there is any sensible man in our state who has ever believed that the people of Mis sissippi would desert their former position —their principles—and the true friends of the south—in order to continue men in power who have betrayed the high trust committed to their hands, it is time he was undeceived.
