Public expectation was excited to the highest
point of interest and anxiety a* to the course of j
Webster. The galleries of the Senate, the j
chamber itrelf. and every avenue* leading t
•ber second thought” before they precipitate the
intry from tbe proud stand she now occupies.—
is is what we expect to accomplish at the
North: to awaken the sober reflection of her so-
'rvative people on thi* question, which
tore been left too mneb in tire hand* of
fanatics, who, Jack-Cade-like, have gathered the
■thinking ma»*es around them, and enlisted
them in an unconscious, crusade against their coun-
•y'» best interests, fl-'s to lead the people of the
North to thirk on thi* grave question, and to “ cal
culate the value of the Union.” These arc the
objects to be accomplished at the North; while it
will unite the people of the South in one common
brotherhood in defence of their common interests;
and after having made this last attempt to save the
Union, on this fearful question, they can say to their
Northern brethren, “ If you dissolve it, the sin be
upon your own heads P*
Now, who can object to the assembling of a Con
vention for such a purpose 1 But, say some, it is
to be a sectional affair, to nominate Mr. Calhoun
as a sectional candidate lor the Presidency. This
i* perfectly preposterous—and now more striking
ly so than ever, since hi* late speech in the Senate,
in which he took the absurd ground that the Con
stitution will have to be amended before tbe South
ran maintain her rights—a position which has
been denounced even by the Hotspur of the Senate,
Foote, of Mississippi. No, Mr. Calhoun will,
that question, find himself in a party of one. Then,
bis nomination cannot be the object of that Con-
ntion—nor is it to nominate any other individual.
But certain timorous men among us, who art
afraid of their own shadow*, object to it on tfie
ground that although not intended to dissolve the
meeting will have a tendency to effect
that end. We cannot see how it can legitimately
have such tendency. It is true, that if all the
rabid, fanatical, ultra politicians (and no other*)
in the Southern State*, were sent as delegates to
that Convention, it* tendency would be mischiev
ous ; but we are slow to believe that tljp enlighten
ed people ol the South will send unsafe men to
represent them in that body. A few Hotspurs
may find seats there, but they will be overshadowed
by the patriotism and prudence of the majority.
Having shown that the objects ol the Conven
tion, as understood by us, are praiseworthy and
commendable, we hope that tbe people ol Georgia
will select discreet, prudent and patriotic delegates
to represent them there—men distinguished as well
for their attachment to the Union as lor their de
termination to maintain and defend Southern rights.
From such delegates in such a Convention, the
people of the South hare much to hope and noth
ing to fear. If, however, the object of the Conven
tion, as has been charged, were a dissolution of the
Union, we do not believe a dozen delegates would
be sent from the whole South, and not one from
Georgia.

bonds of political brotherhood.
All men at the South are free to acknowledge,
and indeed loud in their complaints, that if the
policy of the North shall be persisted
be forced into a dissolution of the Union. The
people of the North, (if we may credit their
atitutional organs in the councils of the n*

North that its observance was all that we of the
Since our last issue, two great speeches from

ve been delivered on the slavery question. Mr.
Calhoun’s speech is before the country—Mr. Web-
the result of which mus; be appai
ii they are not undeceived, the very acts which all
men at the South believe will produce a dissolu
tion, will be consummated, and the South have
the dread alternative presented of basely submit-
ting to an unjust and unwarrantable exercise of
arbritray power, or to rend asunder the bonds
which have so long held together this proud and
happy Union of confederated Statea—•' distinct, like
the billows, but one like the *ea."
To avert thi*—to save the South from this lear-
fal alternative—should now be (he object of all
good men and real patriots amongst a*. How U
this to be done ? Through the voice- ot our rep-
eeaentativea in Congress ? Thia has been tried,
and failed. Through the press ? This, too, has
been mocked at. By means ol primary assem
blies ot the people ? These have been disregarded
and contemned. All—all-—hare been
and all have foiled; and now, scarce would they
believe, “ though one should rise from the dead.
Aod, here, candor compels us to acknowledge that
thia is mainly owing to the course of certain
italics «t the South (for they are not confined
titely to tho Northern States.) wb<\)ike tb* wicked

Charleston Courier says that it ia understood that
wo Presidents—one elected by
the Sonth. the other by the North—and no meas
ure to become a law until it receives their joint
sanction !!. Whether Mr Calhoun entertains for
a moment such an absurd project, we know not;
but' we know that the people of the Sonth have no
desire to alter or amend the Constitution at all, and
they are the last people on earth that will consent
to it- as they feel perfectly satisfied with it
and only desire that its letter and spirit may be. 1 Convention is
faithfully observed by their Northeren brethren. ! jj, fse
thronged before twelve o’clock. Ladies and
many distinguished persons were on the floor of
the Senate. Among the persons within the bar,
I noticed Gen. Hamilton, of South Carolina, Gov
ernor Marcy, R. J. Walker, and Sir Henry Bulvver.
Before twelve o’clock, it was Ic-mul expedient to
close the doors against futther ingress. Hundreds of
persons—among whom were many who had'cotre
from Boston, New York, Richmond, and the coun
try around, expressly to hear Mr. Webster—did not
get admission. Mr. Webster spoke about three
hours and a half, and, as he said, with no pur
se ot display. He came here, he said, to speak
r the Union. His exordium was simple and im-
essive, and hi* peroration grand.
1 confine myself merely to a statement of bis
vn views and purposes as to tbe question before
tbe Senate. To render them distinct and plain, I
may state them as follows
1st. That the character of the whole territory
belonging to tbe United States, as respects the
istence of slavary in it, is already fixed by un
alterable laws.
2d. That the faith of the United States is pledg
ed to the execution ot the contract between the
United States and Texas, to admit new states, not
more than lour in number, from her territory,
when they ahali have sufficient population ; and
that, as slavery existed in Texas at the time of an
nexation, those were to be slaveholding States.
3d. That California and New Mexico should be
subject to no law respecting slavery except the law
of nature and physical geography, &c. t which
utterly excluded African slavery.
4th. He was content with the law of nature, and
would put no Wilmot in it. He denied the right
of the Legislature ol Massachusetts to instruct
him to vote against the dictates of common sense,
and he would not vote for the Proviso, if ofiered.
5th. New Mexico, if ever settled, would necessa
rily be free from African slavery, or any thing of
the sort, except peerage or predial service.
6th. He dwelt upon and strongly enforced the
moral and constitutional obligations ot the North
to carry into effect the stipulation for the surrender
of fugitive slaves. On this point he was very
strong, as indeed, upon every other. He argued
that the Constitution was addressed to States, and
bound them as well as individuals, and tbe State*
were bound to carry this clause of the Constitution
into effect. He tvould cheerfully support the Bill
on this subject now before the Senate.
7lh. He deprecated all the agitation of abolition
ists, in whatever form it was kept up, and esp ecial
ly that of legislative resolutions and instructions.
8th. He was willing that the South should be
aided in removing free negroes from their territo
ries by the General Government, aud in sending
them to Liberia or elsewhere. He would vote for
an appropriation for this object to the extent of the
whole sum which the Treasury had received fr
the public lands, if the South desired it.
9th. He would discuss the question of bounda
ries of California, territorial governments, &.c ,
when the subject came properly before the Senate.
These are the general views of Mr. Webster
bearing on the vexed question. The majority of
the Senate and the auditors were highly gratified
at tbeir character. They are considered as bring
ing u* nearer than we ever were before to an ad
justment.

The Northern people talk of (reason, forsooth!
because the people ot tbe South see fit to meet
Convention, to endeavor, if possible, to se-
e their rights under the Constitution and the
ion! They talk of treason, indeed! The
word is doubtless familiar to them, and will con-
loitg as the remembrance of the Hart
ford Contention, of Benedict Arnold and Aaron
Burr endures! Thank Heaven! a Southern aoil
has never nourished such a nest of traitors as the
womb of the prolific North has brought forth. But
this is all unprofitable—we only remind them ol
these things, because “ people who live in glass
houses should not throw stones.”
Here is another sweet morsel from the New York
Sun:
“ Meetings have been called in Georgia to discuss
the disunion question, but the people would not
come to them. A portion of tbe Georgia press
charges the people with apathy and cowardice,
and a desertion of their interests. Thia is a n '
take, the people of Georgia—the masses—have
much patriotism to assemble for purposes treason
able-to tbeir country.”
Now, what man, woman or child has heard
such meetings in Georgia, or any other Southern
State? Why, these editors seem determined
lie by wholesale! The only meetings that have
discussed ** the disunion question” have been held
in the Northern Statea—the only petitions praying
for a dissolution of the Union have emanated from
Northern eonstituences, and yet they have the un
blushing effrontery to charge the people of the
Sonth with an attempt to dissolve the Union, be-
the exercise ofa legal,constitutional right,
they, at their primary meeting*, complain of the
injustice received at the hands of the North, and
appoint delegates to a Convention, the object of
which is to take constitutional means for the re-
>f those grievances. The people of the
South do not desire a dissolution of tbe Union as
ie constitution which binds us together is
observed and respected. Let the North quietly
yield to the South ber rights under that sacred in-
stroment, and there will be no talk of dissolution
side of the line.
