The Subs of Georgia have been seized within the last week or two, with n violent fit of bragging.— This is ominous. Every body that has eyes to see an inch beyond his nose, is perfectly aware that an ex traordinary re-action has been going on in the pub ic mind of Georgia for the past six weeks,against the humbug constitutional union party. Nor is this eon lined to one locality or suction. It is general. It sweeps from the Tennessee line to the salt water mark, and from tho Savannah to the Chattahoochee rivers. This awakened Southern feeling is burning in the wiregrass below, and treading with proud and elastic step in the high bills above its. Go where you will, talk with whom you will, take up any paper, step into any gathering, from a small 1 knot of talkers to the throngs at the watering placcsand on the high ways of the State; and you will find indubitable and frequent signs of the reflux of public opinion from the ebb of submissionisin to the high flood tide of an arous ed and manly spirit of Southern Rights. These signs are as apparent to tho Subs as to other people—“they believe and tremble. 1 ’ One of their modes of meet ng the current is the Munchausen one of “ all fired’’ bragging. Their extravagant antics in this line defeat the end they have in view. If they were to say, it will be a close race, but the chances are in favor of Mr. Cobb, looking to the great union ma jority on the convention question its an index ; peo ple might put some trust in their opinions. But when they tell us that the majorities of last year will be maintained and swelled for Corb ; why, they sim ply toll us what they neither believe themselves, and what they dont expect any body but fiats to believe. We arc not weak enough to pretend to know what the result of a popular election in so large a State as Georgia will lx-. But, we can, and do honestly say, that wc have never seen a campaign open with bright er auspices for any party, than those which now beckon on the Southern Rights party to exertion, energy and victory. We say there is no mistake in the reflux of the tide of opinion and feeling, and that if it continues at the rate it has commenced, neither Fillmore nor Bob Toombs, the ardent wishes of the Frecsoilrrs nor “burnt brandy'’ can save the Wash ington city Federal Coalition Candidate, from a lofty tumble in October next. THE REVOLUTION IN CUBA. No doubt remains that the People of Cuba in sev eral parts of the Island have at last risen to strike for lilxTty. Titis news confirms the representations of the state of attairs in Cuba, made by Gens, lxqx zand Gonzales and the members of the Cuban Junta in this country. It lias been the habit of the adminis tration and anti-liberty papers of this country to throw suspicion and odium on these representations, and to inculcate tile belief that these distinguished gentlemen were recklessly hurrying American youths of ardent temperament into a struggle, in which the Creoles of Cuba took no interest, and which would g ,e the necks of every emigrant to a halter. It is now seen that not only the people are ripe for revolt against the crushing despotism of their heartless oppressors, but that the army is also greatly disaffect ed, thus confirming another representation of Gun. Lopez. There have been two later arrivals at New Orleans from Havana. Tho following article from the Delta gives the tenor of the news brought by them ; RESI MK OF TliF. REVOLUTIONARY MOVKMR.VTS IV CUBA. Gen. Lopez received a number of letters yesterday from hi* friends in Cuba, written in cypher, the purport of which was, as he expressed it, that the whole Island was up for ilbertv. Authentic information had been received by his informants, that the following important places In the Cen tral Department had pronounced, to-wit: Puerto Principe, Ijis Tunas, Villa Clara, Trinidad. In the Eastern Depart ment, Baracoa, Holguin, Santo Espirita, Final Del Rio—the principal tow ns in the Island, after Havana. The extensive and rapid ‘proud of the revolution has in dtiecd the patriots to postpone the movement on Havana, which was fixed for the 24th. In a consultation held in that citv. the subject was reconsidered, and for many reasons it was though, more prudent to defer the demonstration in that place. Os the five regiments now in Havana, two are count, ed on as friendly to the patriots. If the revolution is successful in the rest of the Island, it is believed that, with *0 strong a detachment of the troops in Havana in their favor, there wilt be no difficulty in effecting the capitulation of that city. The force of troops in Havana does not reach 0.000. as the regiments are not ail full, and 650 arf reported on the sick list. The patriots have there fore determined to raise the country around, in which they will be aided by Jtwo {squadrons of Rural Guards, and when tbetr force is sufficiently strong and consolidated, they w ill march upon Havana. Eight hundred Creoles in that citv have organized to go into the Vuelta Abajo to assist the movement there. Gen. Lepez has certain information of the disaffection of “THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.” the St. Leon regiment, stationed at Matanzns. This in the regiment which it was found impossible to tuarch on Carde nas, when the expedition landed at that place last year.— Puerto PriucijSc, where the first declaration was made, had beea deserted by Yll but w omen and children. Troops had been sent there, but they found no enemies to attack. The patriots had all cone into the mountains. The old Span iards, throughout the whole Island, the Government officials were very downcast. The rest of the intelligence commu nicated to Geu. I.opez relates to details which, though val uable and important to him, would not be very interesting lo our readers.” The Delta, in another place gives the following striking evidence of the spirit of the Cubans ; “Cuban Heroine. —Gen. Lopez received authentic intel ligence yesterday, that an accomplished lady, a friend and devotee of Cuban indejiendenee—Don Jlartina Piewtde I Aguero—had taken tl,e field with the patriots, dressed in the garb of a soldier, and mounted on a splendid charger, I and was encountering all the perils and fatigues of partisan I warfare.” Albl the following notice shows that the friends j of the Patriots iu New Orleans are not idle: Attention ! — Wc would urge the gentlemen of the com- ! tniltee to collect contributions for Cuba, to a prompt alien- ‘ dance at the meeting which is called this evening, at six j o’clock, at the offlce of D. 1. Ricardo, 40 Camp street. Bu-i sines of great importance will be laid before them. \\ e understand that the Patriots will speedily re- i ceive succor front New Orleans in the shape of a ; large body of gallant and well equipped men. Sue- I cess to tho Patriots and to all who will help them. j The Kentucky Flections took place on Monday | last (same day as Alabama.) The Louisville Jour-j ttal (\V.) writes in a disheartened strain of the pros pects of its party, while the Courier (D.) of that city is in fine spirits. The Journal says : “Our intelligence from various portions of the Suite, we are deeply pained to say. is far from being favorable. C. M. ; Clay, the abolition candidate for Governor, will, it is said, j receive from five lo ten thousand votes, and full three-fourths 1 of the voters for him will be whige.” The Courier, bilking for it’ own party, observes “Letters from Albany, Ky„ from I.ouisa, Kv., from Padu cah, Henderson, and many other points, speak in the most cheering terms of the prospects ot Powell and Wickliffe in ttie coming election. “ We are fully persuaded that the ‘old dynasty’ is about to be thrown overboard oil the first Monday in August. De mocracy triumphant, and Kentucky is redeemed.” So it seems from the admission of t# Whig journal that an abolition candidate for Governor in a slave State can get five or ten thousand votes, and three- I fourths of them will be wliigs! Stick a pin there!! Remembering that the Democratic party in Ken- j tueky is the Southern Rights party, and the Whig party is the Clay compromise and Submission party. Mr. Cobb Doublin';;. — A correspondent of the Augusta Constitutionalist writing from Davis’ Spring, Burke county, says that in a speech at that place, Mr. Toombs held as follows : “On the subject of State secession lie was quite brief making the simple declaration that he believed that a State had the right to secede, and that ho was authorized by Mr. Cobb to state that he hold the same opinion.” We undertake to say, that if Mr. Toombs spoke by the card for lis coadjutor, Mr. Cobb speaks with a forked tongue. For in this city, lie did, in conversation with gentlemen and in his public speech, deny the right of State secession, except as a right of revolution. The statement of the Columbus Enquirer, so widely copied by the Union Whig Press, has been flatly eon tradicted, and a correspondent of this paper has of fered to wager $l9O with any friend of the Enquirer, who felt like backing that statement, and lo leave it lo Mr. Cobb himself lo decide the bet. There has been no answer. The very fact that there is doubt on so plain n pro position, shows that Mr. Cobb istalking in enigmas to the people, and striving to hide his real opinions. Saratoga. —A correspondent of the Mississippian, writing front Saratoga, says: The South is not all represented here. It is a general complaint on the part of hotel-keepers, that “our Southern company has not come in yet!” I hope it may continue so. The N. Orleans Crescent says : Mrs. Fanny Wright (Madame Darnsmont) of Memphis, liberat ed some years ago, thirty or forty slaves, and sent then, to Liberia.

The Virginia convention is alxiut to aiiiourn, after making, according to out - views, a constitution much worse than the present one. The principal feature of the new constitution is what is called the compro mise on the basis question. The word compromise has acquired anew meaning, It also has Ixmii re formed, and may hereafter he generally understood to signify an act of impudent fraud and treachery. 11l Virginia, the compromise is like tile late com promise here. It surrenders the jxnver and right of one section of the State without any equivalent, and it was passed like our compromise, by rim almost un divided vote of the winning party, with a few deser ters from the losing. The effect of the convention compromise is that eastern Yirgiuia surrenders, at the end of fifteen years, all representation in the legislature li .unded on slave or other property. And this concession has been made on arguments which are equally fatal to the right of the South, under the federal Constitution, to a repre sentation of three-fifths of the slaves. 1) e observe that the people of eastern Virginia are exasperated at this compromise, hut they received the federal eon,promise quietly. Nay, by their apathy it passed. The State eon,promise win. but the natural consequence of the federal compromise, and it is not only the last, or the worst consequence of it. Eas tern Virginia will yet see that the silliest and shab biest way in the world to secure peace, harmony, union, and ease, is to back out, on all occasions, from insolent and blustering enemies. LATER FROM CUBA. F urther particulars of the Insurrection at Puer to Principe—Declaration of the Revolutionists. r The schooner -Pauline,” Capt Townsend, which arrived at New York on the 27th inst from Nuevitas, whence she sailed on the 17th instant, brings full particulars of the outbreak in Puerto Prineipe in letters from the Cuban revolutionists to their friends. We have re ceived says the N. York Tribune the following particulars from several Cuban gentlemen of re spectability. together with a copy of the Mani fest and Declaration of Independence of the people of Principe, which wc publish below. These advices arc the most direct of any yet received, aud may be considered as authentic. The official account in the Havana papers of the insurrection at Port Principe referred only to a small skirmish on the 3d of July, in which Joaquiny Sanchez was taken prisoner, and a few arms captured by the Spanish tioops. The news by this arrival is up to the 14th of July from Puerto Principe, being eleven days later than tho last accounts. The Pronunei.unento for Independence was I made on the 4th of Julv. on which day the | first real battle for liberty may be said to have j taken place. The Government troops previously sent out to make prisoners oftlie revolutionists came up with thoguerilla party of Joaquin Ag ureoy Aguero, at the foot of the Caseorro mountains aud about four or five miles from the village ol” that name. The Cubans number ed 200 men, and the Spaniards 300. consisting of 100 lancers and 200 infantry. After a sharp engagement, the Spaniards fled—their captain and 20 others being killed together with 18 wounded.—Twelve Spanish soldiers came over to the Cuban side. This battle inspired very great confidence among the'people, and immedi ately the numbers of the insurgents increased rapidly. At the last accounts they were known to num ber 1,000 inou and more. These were divided into five guerilla parties of 200 men each, tind er the commands of Joaquin Aguero y Aguero, Francisco Aguero y Estrada, and Übahlo Arte gay Pena. These parties are stationed around in the strongholds in the vicinity of Caseorro and Puerto Principe, drilling and augmenting their numbers. After the battle oftlie 4th,the Spanish troops hurried hack to Principe, 17 leagues from Cas . corro. When the news of the defeat reached Principe, there was a great excitement among the people, and nothing but the large number of soldiers prevented a general rising and massa ere of the troops. The garrison is over 4,000 blit notwithstanding this large number, Gen. Lcmcrydid not dare to withdraw a single man to go out in pursuit of the Cubans for Tear of a rising, but awaited the arrival of reinforcements from Havana, having sent for 2.000 men. (The last news from Havana stated that these troops had sailed for Principe, 450 miles distant.) Thus while Gen. 1 .emery was confined at Principe. the Cubans were gathering numbers and strength. At the last accounts from Principe many of the Cubans had left the place to join the guer rillas. From the town of Baymo a party of 200 men had gone up, from Cilia Clara 100, and numbers from Nlicvitns, and all the towns in the \ ieinity of Prineipe. As fast as the news spread the people sent oft*parties to the moun tains, so that the number of insurgents will have become very formidable before the Spanish troops can be brought against them, buttheCu bans are poorly armed and labor under many disadvantages. Aguero Sanchez was confined in prison at Principe.: he is the son of one ol the most influential men in the place. It is sup posed lie will be shot. FROM IIAYTI! Another BaUle-—The Dominicans again Victo rious. Port au Prince July loth, 1851- Another battle has been fought between the llaytiens and Dominicans, near the town of Co tuy, on the 13th instant which proved very dis astrous to the Empertor’s troops, of whom about 900 were slain out of a force of 2,700 men. An immense quantity of arms and ammunition fell into the hands ol the victors, besides 241, priso ners, among whom are a nephew oftlie Emperor and nine officers of some distinction. The rout ed army took shelter in Hie fortified town of San Juan, w hose walls protected what valor proved inadequate to defend. The victors retired in ex cellent order on the Southern bank of the Yu ma river, ready at all times to act only on the defensive, and repulse their invaders. An aug mentation to their ranks of 1,000 men from the United States w ould make the welkin ring; then indeed w ould the Empire tumble, and Solouque he compelled to take refuge under tile British flag. The. taeties and frantic valor of our east ern neighbors cannot but inlist the sympathies of their kindred spirits in the States.* w hen in one short month would he accomplished the re generation ofHiiyti, which Le (’lore and French bayonets failed to perform in twelve. Solouque’s sword of state hangs on a hair, from the estab lished fact, which eannot but be well known to him and his followers, that if the next demon stration made in Cuba towards the cause of free dom will predominate against monarchy, then tlie empire, like the sue of old, will unhesitat ingly go in for fraternity, equality, and free dom. Rem-irking upon this great battle the Ncw \ ork Herald says: l\or would it he surprising, as the war is go ing, it before the end of six months, Faustin the I irst and his cabinet should be among the roy al exiles, doomed again to the humble occupa tions of boot, blacks and oyster openers in Goth am. Strange, if the Emperor of Ila vti should become one of the dispensers of the “fried, roas ted and stowed,’ of George Downing. Hut so it is; crowns may perish, but oysters will al ways sell. The Prospects of the Cotton Crop in the United States. —There are not wan ting wise aires among us who prophecy a cotton crop this year, surpassing all for mer years, and amounting to the enor mous figure of three millions of bales.— We propose, in a few words, to demonstrate the utter of any such ex travagant calculations; and our remarks are based upon facts and information of the very best authority from the upland as u’ell as lowland cotton producing sections of the country. From Memphis and tts surroundings,we have authentic intelli gence that the intensity of the drought has been such as to inflict an injury beyond remedy on all the upland cotton, it will be impossible to make more than l'our litths of the usual or average upland crop; and when it is an indisputable fact that three-fourths of the entire crop of the United States are always derived from upland sources, the ultimate extent of the productions can ea.-.ily be prognostica ted. And now for the lowland, or alluvian cotton. It is admitted on all hands that the growth is small although the stand or set may be even and good. Bui there are two facts in respect to the cotton this year on the river bottoms; in the first place the crop is already made; or, in others words no bolls will come to maturity this year but those already filled. Let the drought continue, the subsequently filled bolls will all fall off; and should there be vio lent or continued rains the result will be the same. A dry season has never, in the history cotton planting, been noted for an abundant crop. As far as lowland Louisiana is concern ed, there will probably be a full crop made on Red River; and also in the re gion of Lake Providence and above; but below Red River no one calculates on more than half a crop; while, in the Par ishes intervening between Red River and Lake Providence, Concordia, Tensas and Madison, great uncertainty and doubt hang over the amount which will be pro duced. The season is two weeks later than ordinary season; and to make even an average crop, in these three parishes, we must have one of the most remarkably favorable autumns ever known, such as would well compare with the autumns of 1830,1839, and last year, to enable the planters to pick and save the crop Thus a New Orleans cotton merchant of high celebrity, a practical planter as well as head of a commission house second to none in Louisiana, having the latest information from every quar ter of the cotton-growing region of the Uuited States, has come to the following conclusion in regard to cotton production this year; “The best that can be expected ot the Upland regions of Tennessee, North Alabama, Western Louisi ana Mississippi and Georgia, is a crop twenty ]>er cent, less than last year, w hile o\er the low- land or alluvial cotton region hangs the contin gency of a fine or foul Autumn and a long or short season. — [ Concordia Intelligencer July 26 Death from a Bee Sung.— A son of Mr. D.

Effect of the Georgia Election on tuf.

W r e have given our reasons for that opinion—we need not repeat them.

Ido not believe that Mr. Cobb ever made a statement so utterly destitute of truth. 1 have never received from Mr. Cobb any prop osition, verbal or w ritten, directly or indirectly, on that or any other subject, since my nomina tion, or before. As soon as I can get hold of the Chronicle & Sentinel, I shall drop a line to the Editors but, in the meantime, you may give the thing the most unqualified denial. Yours, truly, Charles j. McDonald.

I'KOMI’T SECESSION PRACTICALLY ILLUSTRATED. BV THU I'KINUK <PK I O.NSEKV ATIV E. . Dear Delta —l havn’t seen your cherry face fora longtime,and I repine. Bui I have other means, lltough, of excitement, as for instance, yesterday, I heard the ‘-Lillie t acirteator,” Hen ry Htuart Foote, of Benton, and “parallel ad vancing” memory, call‘Old ( hepultepee,” the Hero of Bolen, J. A. Quitman, a liar, and saw him strike (lie General in the face.—not even scratching him, however. The General (not the swordless one) was, at the t ine, speaking. He gallantly returned the compliment, writing a receipt in'full upon the os front is ol Gen. Foote, in characters of sanguin eus hue, and doubtless would h ive marred his facial beauties more. It id not the. friends of the Senator spirited him away. The cause of the difficulty was the Cuban affair. Gen. Foote.had been acting apologist for Fillmore, and eo.. stat ing that the Government tlitl have, proof of Quit man’s complicity, sufficient to warrant them in treating him as they did. Day after day Quit malt had to defend himself against the Senator’s foul asperisons, assuring him and the audien ces, that he was entirely innocent—assuring him and them upon his word of honor, lint a galiant soldier's word ofjionor was not suffi cient. Foote intimated that fie had the proof mid would adduce it. if compelled to do so. At Lexington lie arose before an audience ol’hon orable men, and proposed to Quitman that henceforth they touch upon the Cuban affair no more, otherwise he wou.d be compelled, howev er painful it might be to his own feelings, and injurious io the character of the Old General, to produce tlie proof lie had in possession. Quitman in ligu mtly, as any honorable and innocent man would ha ve done, spurned the proposition, ex claimingin w ithering tones, “No sir, I make no comprouise with Gen. F. 1 here, again for the thousandth time, reassert my innocence., and de fy and challenge the gentleman to produce the proof.” This, however,’ Gen. Foote did not do, until at Panola, he said that the Government had, as evidence sufficient, the fact that Gen. Lopez had taken supper at the Executive Mansion, w ith Quitman, and that arms of the State were found in the Expedition. [Let me here, by way of parenthesis, say, ask not mortal to tfiv table, henceforth, Delta, lest in after days, said mortal commit crime most henious, and thou though in nocent,be implicated; and let us hold the President particeps criminis in any murder that hereafter may be committed with musket of Uncle Sam, or carbine, branded “U. S.”] Gen. Quitman then gave Gen. Foote respectfully to understand that if this was the best proof he had, that henceforth it was expected of him not to charge him—.Quitman —with this offence any more. Regardless though of a soldier's parole, and of a gentleman’s word of honor, he, Foote, the next day, at Sledgeville. in Panola count}', so touched upon the subject as to leave the im pression upon the minds of-the audience that Quitman was guilty, if Foote’s - assertion were not corrected, | NUMBER 34 At the close of his twenty minute’s replica tion, Quitman said that this‘charge, tantamount to accusing him of committing larceny upon the State of Mississippi, whether brought openly and boldly, in avowed terms, or insinuatingly, was, come from what source it might, false and cowardly , indecent and ungentlemanly, Foote, who was in the suburbs of the crowd, here run in and asked Quitman to say that again. Quit man repeated verbatim. Foote asked, “Do you mean to say. sir, that I have brought such a charge, or so insinuated;” Quitman reminded the gentleman of the agree-, meat of theirs, made at Foote’s own instance but two days before not to interrupt each other, and also that ladies were present, but promised to answer that question elsew here, and then at tempted to proceed with his remarks; Foote, though, like the “importunate widow,” stuck to his purpose, pressing his query, until at last “old Chepultepee” told him, “then sir, if you insist upon an answer in this place, 1 say to you, you hare.” Foote ."claimed, “yon lie” and struck Gen eral Quitman in the face, receiving in turn with great promptitude and vigor, a floorer from ‘lie old chief. They were instantaneously sep arated, Quitman retaining the hold. In live minutes, Foote was en route for De Soto. Holly Springs, North Miss., July 19, 1851. What Did the South Gain by the Com promise?—As Mr Clav isone of the great leaders of the “Union Party,” we presume none will dispute the truth of his testi mony. On the 22d of July, 1850, little more than one year ago, Mr. Clay’ in a speech delivered in the Senate, said— “ Senators from the Northern States may go home to their constituents, alter this measure shall have beer, passed, and sav ‘lhe North gains the admission or Califo,- nia as a free State. This is sure. She is dedicated now and forever to that free soilism which you so much prize.’ “The North avoids the introduction ol slavery by the authority or Congress in New Mexico and Utah—and as in our opinion, the lex loci excludes slavery Irom the territories, it is highly probable they will both remain and become free terri tories. “The North has New Mexico detached from Texas, with a high degree of prob ability that she will ultimately become, as before stated, a free State. “The North secures the abolition of the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Are not these objects of sufficient magn itude to satisly any moderate, rational Northern wish! What concession of power and authority is made by the North? What rights are sacrificed? Tell me, if the. North does not get almost every thing, and the South nothing hut her honor. [From the Christina Index.] TO THE BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA. Dear Brethren: Since the adjournment of the Biennial Covention at Nashville, much has been written and said in relation to the course which I felt it my duty to take, as your representative, in that body. Pemit me, without noticing the garbled statements and misrepresentations which seem to have a common origin, to state to you candidly what I did do, and why I did it. I did object to Dr. Maclay, or any man identified with abolitionists, taking a seat in the Convention. This I did, without any regard to the agencies on which they came. I intended to raise the naked ques tion, and meet the agencies when they should come up. I made no charge a gainst any one. The question turned on Dr. Maclay, but l intended to include all, and so stated. My reasons are these ! There never has been a heresy so destructive of the peace of the country and the churches, as abol itionism; none more opposed to God’s word—none in relation to which the rule ot duty is more distinctly slated. “Let as many servants ( douloi ) as are under the yoke, count their own masters as wor thy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service because they are faithful and beloved partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words even the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doc trine which is according to godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof conieth envy, strife, railings, evil surmising, Perverse disputings ot men of coi rupt minds, and destitute ofthe truth, supposing that gain is godliness; from such withdraw thyself,” 1 Tim. 6: 15. This passage applies peculiarly to abol itionists. Now when the issue was distinctly made, Northern Baptists, instead of discharging this plain and obvious duty, absolutely withdrew from their Southern brethren, because they “were believing masters, faithful and beloved partakers ofthe ben efit;” and identified themselves with those from whom God had commanded them to withdraw. Thus they became partakers of the sin, and have given, and are now giving “aid and comfort” to men of “cor rupt minds, and destitute ofthe truth.” For this they have made no atonement, nor even manifested the slightest dissatis faction. They now hold them in full fel lowship in their churches and freely co operate with them. Such men I could not invite to seats in the Southern Con vention without injustice to my constitu ents, and my own conscience, indeed, without becoming partaker of their sin.— On this ground L opposed every Northern man. Dr. Sherwood took his seat on dif ferent grounds, as did Dr. Maclay after wards: but this I could not oppose, because your Constit ut ion permitted it.* The Southern Baptist Convention is em phatically a pro-slavery institution. It was organised upon this distinct platform and no other. No anti-slavery man ought or can with consistency be a member of it in any capacity. The desire for a seat and tile courtesy of an invitation are alike uncandid. There is no fellowship, there nev er can be. Not a Northern man present ut Nashville disavowed anti-slavery senti ments, nor even identity with abolition., ists, the very thing charged upon them.} I could not do you justice without voting against the invitation. I call nothing courtesy which does violence to ‘he truth. But besides this, I knew the object which in duced the visit of Dr. Maclay and others t<> Nashville. 1 had seen the division ofthe Ameri can and Foreign Bible Society, and read the an giy debates which attended it. That this divi sion lias induced both parties to look with so licitude to the position of the. Southern Conven tion, indeed, to appoint agents to conciliate the body and enlist Southern feeling, without anv regard to our union or well being. In a w ord, that they wished to involve us in the same hitter controversy. I was unwilling to give anv coun tenance to such movements on either side. Until they divided among themselves, they had but little use of the South, and then only be cause they needed countenance ami wanted money. The appointment of Mr. Woolsey was a trick, the tender of a thousand dollars by the Bible Union to the Board at Richmond, a bribe. I must say too, that when I saw the develope ment at Nashville, the private caucuses, the scramble between Northern men and their South ern allies to decide which had the better title to the South, loot only felt satisfied of the proprie ty of mv course, but contempt for the insult ing impertinence. Since my return lam still more confirmed. About the time of the Convention at Nash ville, the American and Foreign Bible Society was in session in New York. When a propo sition was made to selef. certain Southern gen men as Vice Presidents, Mr. Colver objected on the ground thatthey were slaveholders, and tins objection was so far sustained, as to induce a “compromise,” by electing one Southern man. { And yet this ‘cry Society had its agent, Mr. Woolsey, at Nashville, laying claim to the South, and seeking to conciliate.} A few years since, a distinguished Baptist of Boston (Mr. Lincoln) was sent to Pennfield, Ga.,to reconcile the Executiv e Committee of Georgia. I asked that gentleman what was th > estimate placed on Colver and his party. H said “a sewer to the city : filth to the city.” Bu 1 now, sewer, filth and all, you find him “ahec!. by jowd” in all the counsels of that people. So it is in every Northern association; the moder ate men, conservatives, as they call will not come out from the filth, will not with draw’ from these “corrupt mindsand yet they ask vis to meet them as brethren. W hen the division took place, the best that the most friendly could do for the South, was to say: “Well brethren, we could live with you, but we are at the North and must go with the North.” Thus they give their influence to the. decision of the Domestic Bbard at New York, refusing to appoint Mr. Reeves because he was * slaveholder,and to that of the Foreign Board at Boston, refusing to appoint any slaveholder; and their tacit countenance to all the slander which has been heaped upon the South. This is the position of the leading men in the Bible Union. While many of its warmest supporters are abolitionists died in the wool. To ask us to meet and co-operate with such men, is to ask us to violate God’s word. He command* us to withdraw from such. If they desire compromise, let them come tw us in that spirit—let them wash their hands of the “filth.” and come to us with their “skirt* clear.” But they must not come bringing Col ver, “sewer, filth” and all, and ask our courte sies, while they seek our ruin. My brethren, I am for Southern Bible Socle, ties. Southern Missionary Boards, Southern schools for the South. And I never will, if 1 know it, directly or indirectly, give countenanc to a heresy which I believe to be the most in}’ quitious and ruinous know nto the world,a pira cy which lias not abated a whit of its strength and malignity. If I have misrepresented your feel ings,! certainly regret that, hut I never can rv. gret my course in the Convention. I could say much more. I did not wish to discuss the issue at Nashville. Ido not now. Your approval is certainly my greatest earthly reward, but even this is a price too small for a compromise of my convictions of duty. I thank you for the many testimonials of coa. fidence and atteelion, which you have hereto fore given me, and am as over, Yours in Christ Jesus, J. E. DAWSON. *l)r. Sherwood voted with ine, and expects soon to he. identified with the South. f Dr. Maclay did not even deny the sentiments charged upon him in the papers,and alludod to by I'rof. Moll, lie denied having spoken at “Exeter.” 1 venture that none of those societies or men are now willing to withdraw from abolitionists, that between the two they would prefer, a* heretofore, their co-operation to ours. }The letter of Dr. Dagg, the brother elected, declining the, office thus tendered, is worthy of all commendation, and must address itself to the bosom of every Southern Baptist. Mt is remarkable that the prints which have been loudest and bittores in denouncing me, al though they noticed the meeting in New York do not venture even a comment, a word upon the subject. A CONSTITUTIONAL UNION MAN. We frequently hear a “Constitutional Un ion man” talked of, but in this latitudeWo never find one in the ranks of the party professing ta be such, and wearing that name as a false mask to hide a real submission to a constitution violated. We have before us, a specimen of a true “constitutional union man.” lie hails far North, but his testimony is all the better for that. This man writes for the Now York Journal of Commerce—he signs himself “Constitutional Union” and lie proves his title to he called so, by the noble sentiments and inanly truths which he dares utter in the very midst of our onemioa and oppressors. Will some of our Southern “Constitutional Union” men read this, and com pare its doctrines with those that they are taught by Howell Cobb and his party at the South? [Ffvu the Journal of Commerce*] “Secession Cannot be Accomplished but rt War.” — Mr. Webster's Letter to the. Union Committee. If vve suppose the great expounder of the Constitution to he in earnest, and to speak the sentiments of his heart, —if vve consider his po sition in the public councils, and that he is the mind of the Administration, —if we read his whole letter, and close not our eyes to what, he refers; and if we look beyond towards the South, and behold the whole people of a sover eign State, writhing under the abiding sense of continued and premeditated wrong, inflicted on. their rights, their privileges and their honors— and if vve remember that a large portion, if not a majority of as bold and gallant spirits as ever the sun shone upon, in five or six othei>Stafos, chafed even beyond the Carolinians, by thesams causes and the superadded degradation ol those around them, who prefer base submission and fawning sycophancy to manly resistance, —if we view all these things as they are, have we not every reason to believe that vve are on the verge of a civil war? a civil war!! the most hitter and dreadful, probably, that the world ever witness ed. Have we paused to contemplate the cause*! that arc driving us with such impetuous speed, to such dire and calamitous results? Have wo inquired,—nay, have u-e positively ascertained as we are bound to do, that no fault lies at our door? If not , now is the time to do it —soon it will be 100 late, and if any of the guilt rest upon us, let us be cautious how we engage in spilling our brother’s blood, to maintain the injustice,lt** continue and to perpetuate the oppression. Mr. Clay recognizes in his letter, that there!* a spirit of opposition to the Constitution and Laws, existing in some of the Free States, — and he admit*, on the other hand, that Caro lina is actuated by opposite principles and mo tives, —and yet he, calm, dispassionate, and pa triotic as all allow him to be, intimates beyond a doubt, that force must be used, to put down re sistance in South Carolina,—a resistance rend ered necessary and essential to theirown safety and honor—in support of, and not in oppov sitionto the Constitution. Much has been said and vvriUcn of Geucraf Washington’s admonitions against disunion, — but did General Washington, at any time any where, or under any circumstances, counsel hi* countrymen to submit to injustice, inequalty and oppression, end need upon them in violation of the Constitution, rather than to rise up, and having exhausted the-argument, to stand to their arms? Has this unconstitutional spirit, alluded to by Mr. Clu v, aijd seen by us all, doiicvno injustice to the South ? Have we, in all our intercourse with them, holding, as we always do, a large majority in the councils of the country, respect ed their rights and maintained all our constitu tional obligations towards them ! Can we lay our hands upon our hearts and say we arc frea from all offence towards them ? Have we treat ed them on all occasions and in all instances aa equals, having rights and privileg 3, in common with ourselves ? Arc there no laws ojj our statute books contravening, and intended to con travene, the provisions of the Cymstitution which were designed fori heir beg,cut and protection and do we refuse to rep<od them? Have we al lowed t h/in the full enjoyment of aJJ their prop erty? Have we yielded to them an equal share in the oininon prd/pertv of the Union? IJavo we levied taxes for the support of the Union, on if ait and’equv table principles? Have the pro gal expenditures of taxes confessedly une qually iovied, been by us still more unequall} expended, to their injury? Inline, have we considered vvfTut was put and proper, and done it, —or have vve felt power and forgot right? If these questions must all of them be answer ed in the ailirmative. and disunion be the con sequence, and a bloody civil war destroy thja finest fabric the world ever witnessed, for man’s self-government, vvili the awful responsibility rest upon us, or upon the South? Are they not a law-loving people? Have they not sub mitted to our injustice for more than thirty years? Have they not faithfully performed all their constitutional duties? Have they not paid their taxes, unequal and unjust as wo made them? And even when vve promised at the end of nine long years to make them more just and equal, and when vve hod violated our faith did they not for the sake of the Union, submit U> a bill still more injurious and unequal? Did they not furnish their proportion ot men, and shed as much and as precious blood as we did in the conquest of Mexico? and did they obtain one foot of all that vast acquisition of territory, in con sideration threof. In tine, have they no causes for complaint? Have vve treated them as breth ren and equals or have we abused, insulted and degraded them? And siiat.l we now make war upon them? and cui Boxo? Not ours cer taiuly ; not theirs: and most assuredly not for the benefit of those, our sympathy for whom has led us so far from our lawful duty. Nor is that all. We have had some ex perience in wars, recently.
