The Southern Convention-
This body sdjourned on (be Nth intltni, to meet
again on tbe eixth Monday abcr the adjournment
of tl»* •^• ion of C ° n « re **-
We Iwtc not yet aeen the address to tbe people of
the Sctthem States and the accompanying re*ola-
Nona, a* finally amended; though all accnnnta con-
car in the statement that they wer* mild, dignified,
firm, manly and patriotic.
The Senate’* plan af adjeatment waa repudiated
and the IBnawiri-Cooiproniiar line insisted on —
Thia waa, a# we conceive, moat eminently right
and proper, for it U the only Compromise that ran
now satisfy the South j albeit, aome oi our amall-

that thttae who now favor the Ufcaouri Compro

and write ©#»
We are indebted to the Augusta Republic for the
following synopsis of the addreaa pnaniiaonaly
adopted by the Convention:
The addreaa i* directed to tbo People of Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Tenneaaee, Kentucky,
Louisiana. Texas, Missouri, and Arkansas. Il
expresses tbe obligation that - the members of tbe
Conrention feel themselves under, to lay before the
pet pie of those Slates the result of their delibera
tions. The Address narrates the aeries of acta by
which Congress and the non-slaveholding .States,
for the last sixteen years, have agitated the slavery
question, to the disquiet ol the South, and at-the
hasard of her right*, safety, and honor. They re
fer to the action of Congress in reference to the
ceptioo of petitions egainst the mstitalion of alave-
ry, which constantly assailed and denounced the
people of the South, as slaveholders, in terms in
decorous and often insulting—to the establish
ment of newspapers, and engaging the services of
lecturers at the North to excite tbe people against
them—to organisations to entice away their all
and to protect them even by violence from reeap-
*“Ynre—to enactments by most of the Legislatures of
the non-slave holding States, designed and calculat
ed to defeat the provision# of the Constitution
in reference to Ingitive slaves—to the acts of re
ligious bodies at the North by which a separation of
the Northern and Southern Methodist and Baptist
Churches was prodaced—to the claim set up by
the North to all the territory, acquired of Mexico by
war nud treaty, by tire common blood and treasure
of the whole land.
These and other acts showing a determination on
the part of oor Northern brethren grossly to inter
fere with onr rights, at the haxard of our propery
and safety, and the inevitable inferiority anp degra
dation of tbe Slates of the South, laid the foundation
for the propriety and necessity of their meeting
to devise some measure and means of Southern de
fence. The Address asks, “If you were to yield
every thing the North now requires—abolish slave
ry in tbe District of Columbia—submit lo be legis
lated pirates for conveying slaves from one State
to another—let trial by jury and the writ of habeas
corpus wrest frotn you In the Northern states
every fugitive slave—give up all your territories
to swell Northern arrogance and predominance—
would things stop here T”
The address answers the question. It says
»* These are all m-ans aiming at one great end—
THE abolition or slavery is the States.” Sur
rendering one oi these means yon will but inflame
the power by which another will be exacted—and
when all are conquered, will the evil be arrested ?
In fifty years twenty new non-slaveliolding States
(ay be added to the Union, whilst many which
jow slaveholding, may becomo non-slaveholding
Then there will be no need,
main prosperous or even stationary; that to re
main the Utter in common, acceptation is to, retro
grade and to fell into decay—we are satisfied’ that
all the legitimate means at otir command should be
employed to stimulate the trade to this place and
the Interior,, by opening avenues of communi
cation—by enlarging production—increasing the
number and value of, marketable commodities—
and by lessening the.freight upon articles of such
bulk as will not now bear transportation on coin
roads. To do this, good toads are not only
essential, but such roads and such freights as the
-Hnprored methods of transportation in this day
will render necessary to bring into fair competi
tion, with more favored regions, tbe heavy pro
ducts from tbe country above os, a Rail or a Plank
Road is, we think, looking to this end, essential.
We are satisfied that tbe former cannot be justi
fied at present, upon a calculation of what *
be considered anything like remuneration for tbe
outlay—that the latter can be built and will pay
remuneration profits, we are convinced—that one
ought to be built forthwith, we are as well i
Beil therefore. Resolved, 1st. That
of three from each of the counties of Habersham,
Hall, Jackson, Madison and Clarke, be appointed
to ascertain tbe best possible route for such

be calculated upon in the different neighborhoods

Resolved, 3rdi That a committee of five be ap

may be aubscribed: in and about Atbeua and
Clarkesviile, also to ascertain as definitely or as
near as practicable, what amount of assistance can
be expected from the Geo. R. R. & Bk’g. Co.—the
Steamboat Co. of Geo., the Iron Steamboat Co.,
thecities of Augusta and Savanuah, and tbe Town
Council of Athens.
Resolved, 4th. That some competent person be
charged with seeing and addressing the people
along the route, on the subject of such road; said
person to be one of the committee under the first
resolution.

country, ol course; nor do we exchange with ms

portance to the coarse of the sheet to which it al
ludes—circumscribed in its influence as it is—(nor
do we suppose does the public at large)—to feel
any sort of interest in. reference to its position on
any question:
To the Editor of the Saaihara Baaatr.
Were I to affirm that I am a Democrat, you
would probably discredit the assertion. I have not
selected the Banner as tbe medium of communica
tion with you, because I apprehended you would not
allow me space in its columns. Editors, I am
aware, but seldom allow their journals to become
channels through which are conveyed to the pub
lic, sentiments adverse to their own. It not unfre-
quently happens that a segment of the party,
which established and nourishes a public print, on
account of some variation of opinion from the
standard oi orthodoxy, arbitrarily set up by a ca
pricious and selfish leader, is denied the privilege
ol a fair bearing before its own appropriate tribu
nal. I do not concur in the imputation, engender
ed, no doubt, in the malignity of your political
toes, that the Banner is the mouth-piece of an in
dividual, rather than the organ of a great party—
in other words, that the sentient principle which
directs its intellcctnal operations, dwells elsewhere
than in the editorial sanctum, and that your func
tion seems to be lather to further the ambitions
schemes oi a single man, than to defend tbe wel
fare of Uie South. That these charges have been
bruited in .every direction, you are not now, for
the fiist time,to learn. Although they never have,
and do r.ot now, meet my sanction, yet, I must say
all charity, and with the kindest feelings, that
my apprehension, your oscillations in reference
llte'slavery question, are inconsistent with a be
coming independence and self-reliance. The goal
ol all your efforts, is, evidently, the maintainance
ol tho integrity and unity ol the » National Demo- mhim in «his enterprise, and are willing

We are called upon to preserve the Constitution
to protect ourselves. The Address says no chance
of policy is perceptible in the Northern Slates.—
Throughout the six months tint Congress has been
in session, our institution bas been the object of
bitter denunciation, and the South has been threat
ened with coercive measures'to bring her to'«ub-1
mission. The admission of California, under the t
circumstances, is equivalent to passing the Wilmot j
Proviso.
Tbe question is asked : “ If the Constitution
proposed by California contained nothing abont
slavery, would the North allow.her to enter tbe
Union?”. No, never.
The compromise plan of tbe Committee of
Thirteen, is condemned as unworthy of receiving
Southern support and encouragement. We have,
time after time, exhibited the objections which rea
sonably and fairly exist to that compromise. This
Address presents them in somewhat the same way,
though with more ability than we have done.—
Still it is unnecessary to recapitulate them to our
readers, whoare already aware of their nature End
course of late has created wide-spread feelings of
dissatiskiction. Northern Democracy, is in uutago-
nislical array against Southern rights; and you do
us great injustice if you suppose we can, for
moment, hesitate as to tbe banner under which w
will marshall ourselves. HABERSHAM.
Tbe Address favors the adoption wf tho old Mis-
eeeii Compromise iine. and conclude* as follows:
“Having thus, fellow-cilisepa, laid before yon a
