can assure you generate no good feeling between the Grenadians and Americans. This was my last remi niscence of Panama, a city that I left’ with profound joy. On Saturday, the 23d of last month, in pursu ance of a notice from the steam company’s agent we all went aboard the “Tennessee.” The crowd all stirring forward, the crashing of boats, the eUreing of their owners, and the scatUement of baggage, presen ted a scene defying description. Apparently there was baggage enough to sink the ship, and more pas sengers than could possibly find room to lie down. How they ever were reduced to order, I cannot im agine. In the steerage were 600, end in the cabin 200 passengers. Add a crew of 100, and you have <OO souls, as our cargo of human flesh. Representa tives from all portions of the world, and men pursu ing every profession, as well as women; mechanics, laborers, lawyers, doctors, divines, and last of all, but by no means least, a full cargo of abandoned females. The world was concentrated in miniature. The steer age passengers were compelled to draw for their berths, on coming aboard, which resulted in much amusemeut. Two slept in a large berth, and this method of companionship united strange characters. A rough swearing Texian was frequently “spooned” with a sober, pious individual, and almost every berth was shared by strangely yoked bed fellows. My own companion was from Wisconsin, and had been employ ed ;n shooting bear. He stood about seven foot in in his stockiugs; had a a red blanket thrown around his shoulders, and his hair hung in Chinese mats down his back like so many fox tails. I had quietly stowed myself way the first night, when I was awoke by something like an cal crawling down by my side, much to my alarm. “Ilallo,” says a voice, in a ven triloquist air, about the top of the mizen mast appa parently. “Hallo, I say Stranger, kind a scull about and give us Sea room.” I needed no second invita tion, for I soon embodied myself in a lump, and awaited with curiosity to see how he would stow away. Let ting his feet rest on the foot of the berth, his body run out like a clothe‘s line until he braced himself against an engine pipe, when curling his blanket around his head, he fell into a slumber as profound as it must have been refreshing. The cabin passengers fared but little better as to berths. A’s wife frequently had a ticket which put her in a Stateroom with B. and C. frequently was cnscosced with D’s boisterous chil dren. No regard was attached to persons, nor was respect paid to the commonest rules of propriety.— Heaven must pity a lady who is compelled to go to California. After each meal, all the tables were used for gambling, which became a great but unavoidable nuisance. It was no ordinary occnrrance to see in the Cabin at 9 o’clock, a mother setting on a sofa, with two lovely children asleep by her side, their innocent lips half parted, as though nature had exhausted her self in a prattle; at one end of the Sofa a bevy of virtu ous and modest ladies conversing in a tremulous half smothered tone and at the other end of the sofa a col lection of rude, illbred women guilty of great indecen cy, in company with men lost to all sense or selfre speet. Immediately in front of this singular group were two long dining tables laterally covered with cards and money. On Sunday when we had preach ing, some would be smoking, and near all would be holding novels in their hands. So much for the Boat, which was very dirty; and the scene presented when meals were announced beggars all description. We had hawkers and pedlers of every descriptiod. One long specimen of Yankecdoodleism was crying out “tooth brushes,” only two dimes apiece.” While a shrill voice was singing out “here’s the N. Y. Her ald, latest Delta &e;” verily one could immagine himself in Broadway'. There was some remarkable characters on board, of whom as I can record noth ing creditable, I shall let them pass. And now Sir, I wish I could properly write of the grandeur and Magnificence of the scenery, along the Pacific coast. Wc ran nearly due South for two days, until within about two foot and a half of the sun apparently, when we “tacked ship” and soon found ourselves near the coast of Guatamaln, and land was visible nearly the whole trip. The air was balmy as a Spring breeze and the great Ocean as calm and unrufled as a sum mer lake. One hour, as far as the eye could reach would extend rich and fertile valleys bound by huge mountains whose heads were bathed in eternal cloud and their peaks crowned with perennial capsof snow. Around our masts the Sea gull and Pilican would screech and flap their wings while our bow would frota the “briny deep” arouse shoals of sharks, por poise* and black-fish, gamboling in all the indepen dence of their element. At different times whales were seen, (no uncomon sight) plunging in majesty through the waves, and at times spouting up huge jets of water which as they sunk fell in the most beautiful spray the immagination can conceive. The cry of “whale” produced as much excitement as a revolu tion would have done, and the rush and curiosity of men was frequently attended with very amusing in cidents. On one occasion a loud cry of “whale” was raised, and a strapping “original” had perched him self on a huge barrel and was thus soliloquizing.— *‘A whale, groat Jemima, what a whopper”! “It is nothing but a black fish” was intimated by some bystander. “What,” said the original rather indig nantly, “not a whale, did’nt I see him spout- ing, and I reckon I’ve seen ’em in the spelling book; great craokey he continued, “w-ould’nt he masticate the in dividual and spout him out like hot potaturs, eh ?” The sereous look intimidated all front a reply. On Monday April the let, we ran in to Aenpuleo Mexico, much to our joy and gratification. Acapulco lies in a very retired and secure harbor, which although possessing a small mouth yet affords ample room for shipping. The entire harbor and city is protected by a Spanish Fort, in a pretty good condition and regular ly manned by a Regiment of Mexican soldiers. The streets are as white as snow and the Walls of the houses are made of white cement giving an air of purity and and simplicity to the city. The fruit market is the finest on the coast. Musk and water ntelons, oranges, pine apples, lemons, bananas, plantains, mangoes, many apple and coeoanuts grow in the richest profu sion as well as perfection. Bread of the finest quality eggs, rice and sugar (called pelouee, it tasti s like ma ple sugar,) are also here in abundance and the natives are very solicitous to trade. Around the city are many marks of a higher and former state of civiliza tion. I noticed a bridge on a paved road, bearing date 1783, audfrom its masonry, one would conclude that another rece of people inhabited the country at some previous time. A row occurred here between lome of our men and the soldiers, one of the former was imprisoned, but liberated by the influence of our. efficient and gentlemanly consul, Mr. McClure. As our time had passed delightfully, we left this city with regret. The ocean became rougher and the nights colder after we left Acapulco. A few days after we had been out, could be seen at night the grandest phe nomenon, I have ever witnessed , I refer to high burn ing mountains, belching forth fire and smoke, until the whole Jieavens was lit up by a bloody glare and efful geaee. Nothing occurred during the remaining portion <of our trip,, except an event which oecured among the steerage passengers a few days before wc arrived at this city. Their treatment had been very bad, I can assure you. Forbearance at last eeased to be a virtue and taking possession of the boat one day, a most excit ing meeting took place. The officers frowned and swore, but their presence did not intimidate and they at last were foreed to retreat below. I send you an account of the meeting published in the “Pacific News” of thkeity. On the morning of the 14th of this month *ve entered the harbor of San Froncisco. The scene ry around its entrance is very grand and unique.— The mouth of the outlet is about a mile wide and five miles long. It is bound by high hills, gently undulat ing to the sea and covered with rich verdure, when through it the grandest sight, the imagination can con ceive of is presented; San Francisco, a city like an eastern fable, so magically and sudden has been its erection. But more of this again. The first mao I met on going a shore was “Joe Brooks” who lacon ically informed me that he was “ Sound ” and in all respects “Sou west and crooked.” Dr. Boring, Mr. Wyap and their families are in this city at present.— McLaren from yeur city is here. M’ard, Reed, Brooks, Younge, Clay O’Neal, two Renfroes, and Bass have all gone up the country. H. and myself have an office in this city, in full blast. We 6hall re main here. The country as to Wealth and riches is all that has been represented. I would advise every body that can leave home to come. It presents the greatest field the world has ever known for enterprize and industry. Adieu M. S. L. CORRESPONDENCE OF THE “SOUTHERN SENTINEL.” New Haven Conn. May 28, 1850. The Connecticut Legislature—Election of U. S. Senator—Prospects of the Democracy—Horn Public opinion works —The Pulpit and the Press £e. $-c. For several weeks the Legislature of the State lias been in session. With a full Democratic majority, a democratic governor was elected, as well as the offi cers of both branches. In a national point of view, little or nothing has been done. Resolutions in rela tion to the extension of Slavery have been repeatedly called for, and even attempted to be pressed upon the body; but as yet, their consideration has been post poned from day today. The whigs have pressed this subject in order to influence the election of a U. S. Senator. It is their policy to win over the free-soil ers, without whoge votes neither party can succeed. In this they have been unsuccessful as the three parties have each nominated their candidate. Next Thurs day is set apart for the election, consequently the Halls of Legislation are scenes of extensive log-rolling. The lobbeis are daily crowded with influential men from various parts of the State. Isaac W. Towey the dem ocratic nominee, will probably succeed, in which event, a great victory will be achieved over the fell spirit of abolitionism. A combination has been tried to be effected between the whigs and free-soilers, in order that Baldwin, the present incumbent, might be re tainded; bi t the plan miscarried, and each party stands upon its own basis. The Democracy will bat tle strong for their principles and candidates, the whigs however may manage to prevent an election, with the hope that the next Legislature may be more favorable for them. As it is, the Democracy will have to contend with the combined movements of whigs and Free soilers upon the adoption of the slave ry resolutions, which will be made the test question. The views of the two latter arc almost identically the same upon this subject while in the democratic ranks alone are to be found supporters’of the compromises of the constitution and the rights of the South. Now, that tho policy of both parties have been exhibited, and the whigs shown to be the sworn allies of abolitionism it has been attempted by some to involve the democrats in the same category, and in their zeal for party, would fain have the South believe that she is left alone to protect and defend her rights. But such is not the eas*. The South has strong allies in the democratic ranks, and though they cannot number the whole, nor a majority of the whole party, yet there are many who cling to her with heroic devotion, while not a whig is found who is not battling against her very existence. The manner in which public opinion is attempted to be influenced, and public measures to be effected, is peculiar to this section. The pulpit, which by the way, is becoming intimately connected with every question of polity ecclesiastical or political, is brought to bear upon all occasions. The legislature had hard ly convened and got regulated, before the various pul pits of the city set to work. One respectable denom ination announced the subject of an afternoons dis course, which attracted a crowded house. Grave senators and experienced members of the assembly thronged the benches to listen to an unconditional de nunciation of Slavery. By another denomination, the public were invited to listen to a disclosure on the moral destitution of our lovely city; crowds assembled, and from the most influential societies the pulpit was adorned. The Sabbath evening was devoted to a startling and almost incredible portraiture of the mor al condition of the community. The recommendations of the Chief Magistrate of the State because they happened to differ with the views of the speaker, were derided, the Legislature scoffed at, and the people ex horted to rise in their might and purge the land. A spectator—a stranger to the character of the place— would have at once set down New Haven to have been a vile sink of abominations. The leading speak er on this latter occasion is a minister and assistant edit or of a religious journal, which is trying to convince its patrons that there are political obligations higher than those of the constitution, and endeavoring to establish a “conscience party” which shall take upon itself the authority to judge of all questions religious or secular. It is in this manner that public opinion in many in stances becomes vitiated. The very profession which should preach law and order, is generating discord and discension, and striving to subvert the very sys tem to which it is indebted for freedom of speech.— W hen communities are swayed by the peculiar notions of religious journals, so called, in political matters in opposition to the existing government, and it is con sidered almost sacrilege to question the preacher's dic tation, adieu to freedom of opinion, and the boasted lib erty of conscience; a more completely priest riddlen people can be fotmd in no age. TIIETA. The Nashville Convention. Nashville, Term., June 3, 1850. The Nashville Convention met to-dav. The Hon. A. V. Brown having called the convention to order, reported on behalf of the committee appointed to organize the convention, that they had agreed to recommend that each should be entitled to one vote in the convention, also the names of Wnv L. Sharkey, of Miss., for President; Gov. McDonald, of Geo., for Vice President; A. VV. Cooper and E. C. Eastman, as Secre taries The vote on each was taken separately, and all unanimously elected. Judge Sharkey, on taking the chair, address ed the convention, alluded to the causes which brought them together. He thanked the con vention most profoundly for the honor conferred on him in electing him to a position he had no desire to fill, but which, after the many appeals which had been made to him. he could no longer decline—he alluded briefly to the causes which had induced the meeting of the convention—the several States, he said, had united, equal rights had been granted to all by the Constitution, that those rights had been violated, and that the government could not stand the shock ot this desecration of the Constitution. The Conven tion, he declared, had assembled to devise measures to protect the rights and property of the Southern people, and to preserve the Gov ernment which had been handed down to them untarnished. It had not been called to prevent, but to perpetuate the Union. Who, he asked, were better patriots—those who would wait till a direct calamity had fallen on the coun try, or those who propose to adopt measures to avert the calamity ] It was for the convention to devise a remedy for the evils under w hich the South was laboring, and for the people to carry it out He trusted that a remedy would be found. In conclusion, he repeated that the object of the originators of the conven tion was not to dissolve the Union —the slanders of its enemies to the contrary, notwithstanding. He expressed a hope that the Union might be the last thing to perish, amidst the universal wreck of matter. The Rev. Jesse B. Ferguson opened the ses sion by an eloquent appeal to the Almighty, to protect the Union. Judge Wilkekson, of Missouri, moved that a list of the States, be called, and that the mem bers from the same be requested to present their credentials.—The motion was adopted. General Pillow’, of Tennessee, moved that the vote be reconsidered. He wished to amend the motion of the gentleman from Missouri, so as to raise a committee, one from each State, to re ceive the credentials from the members to the Convention. After a short discussion between Gen. Pillow and the Hon. Mr. Walker, of Alabama, the mo tion to reconsider was carried, and the amend ment to raise a committee was accepted by Jukge Wilkinson, and adopted, when the fol- lowing gentlemen were appointed sard commit tee : Gen. Pillow, of Tenn., Col. Pickens, of S. C., Judge Wilkinson, of Miss., M. J. Crawford, of Geo., Gen. Walker, of Ala., Judge Tucker of Va., Gov. Henderson, of Texas, CoL Pierson and the Hon. Mr. Powell, of Arkansas* After organizing they adjourned till 11 o'clock to-morrow morning. SECOND DAY. Nashville, (Tenn.) June 4. 1859. The Convention reassembled on Tuesday last, and was opened with prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Feein. Hon. B. R. Rhett, ofSouth-Carolina< moved that the Parliamentary Law, as established by- Mr. Jefferson s Manual, should govern the proceedings of the Convention which was agreed to. A motion was made that the Report of the Committee on the organization of the Conven tion, so far as it affected the mode of voting, ! should be adopted, viz: that the Convention i should vote by States. On this question much discussion ensued, and many of the members participated in the debate, which consumed several hours, and a warm and excited feeling was exhibited, and some confu sion was the consequence. The Report of the Committee was finally adopted, and it w-as decided that the vote on the several questions should be taken by States, each State having one vote. There are nine Slates represented in the Con vention, viz: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor gia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Tex as, and Virginia. The Convention adjourned to meet the follow ing day. THIRD DAT. The Convention at Nashville re assembled on the sth inst, and opened as before, with pray er. Several additional delegates w-ere in attend ance and admitted to seats in the Convention The names of the members composing the Committee of one from each State, were an nounced. Mr. M’Rea, of Mississippi submitted a series of Resolutions declaring that the spirit of the Convention was conciliatory, and desirous of preserving the Constitution and the Union.— They provided that Territory acquired by the United States, is to be governed by the several States through their agents in Congress. They further recommend that if the North will not ac cede to the South its rights, as guaranteed by the Constitution, the formality of the association will be broken, which will lead to non intercourse between the two sections. That Congress has no right to discriminate between species of prop erty held under the Constitution. These reso lutions w-ere refered. Mr. Chester, ofTennessee, offered a resolu tion providing for a committee on printing which was adopted. The Convention adjourned to 10 o'clock, A. M. the following day. FOURTH DAY. The Convention resumed its sitting on Thurs day, the Gth inst. The accredited Delegates from the several Slates number as follows: Virginia 6; South Car olina 17 ; Georgia 12; Mississippi; 11; Texas 1 ; Alabama 21; Arkansas 2 ; Florida 6, and a large number from Tennessee. Propositions made from the different States were referred to a Select Committee—they are, thus far, of a moderate, conciliatory character, but firm. It is generally believed that the Convention will recommend the adoption of the Missouri Compromise and then adjourn until October next. Meeting on Chunnynuggee Ridge. Pursuant to previous notice, a meeting of the citizens of Macon county, irrespective of party, was held at Chunnynuggee, on Saturday, the Ist day of June, for the purpose of sustaining the action of our last Legislature in appointing delegates to the Nashville Convention. The meeting w r as organized by calling Micajah N. Ely and James B. Hooten, Esqrs., to the chair, and requesting James F. Malone and Robert W. C awley, Esqrs, to act as secretaries. Th object of the meeling was explained by Col. Edward Carey in a short speech, in w-hich he strongly urged the necessity of holding the G-oposed Convention. On motion of Richard . Powell, Esq., a committee of nine, consisting of R. 11. Powell, James F. Hooten, Edward Carey, Alston A. Stewart, 11. H. Randel, James A. Jones, W. Duncan, Stephen L. Dixcn and James R. Kendrick, were appointed by the chairman, to draft resolutions for the considera tion of the meeting. During the absence of the committee, Dr. N. B. Pow-ell was called out, and addressed the meeting earnestly and forcibly on the present alarming condition of affairs. After a short absence, the committee report ed through their chairman, R. 11. Pow-ell, the follow ing preamble and resolutions, which were unanimously adopted: Whereas, as citizens of the United States we have witnessed with sincere regret and the most anxious solicitude, the strife and animosi ties which have so unhappily pervaded, not only the various sections of this Union, but also the legislative halls of Congress, and of several of the State Legislatures, upon the subject of domestic slavery—an institution common only to the Southern States —thereby producing a feeling of hostility and a general and gradual alienation of those kind sentiments which should pervade the hearts of the people, bound together by a compact of governments volun tarily entered into, and which can only exist by the hearty concurrence of its several parts, act ing upon the interests of all with a beneficence which betrays no partiality, nor a disposition to sacrifice the constitutional rights of any one section of the confederacy for'the benenfit or gratification of another section. And whereas, so intense has become the threatened danger to the South, that they may no longer stand with folded arms and view the raging of the coming storm with apathy—but as patriots, meet it w-ith firmness, and try all constitutional means within their reach to endevor to turn aside and avert its threatened consequences—and as it is the right and the duty of the people peaceably to assemble, either in person, or by delegates, whenever in their judgments the public interests may demand it—Therefore 1. Resolvea, That the present aspect of the question of domestic slavery in the United States renders it necessary and proper that a convention of the people of the slaveholding States should be holden for the purpose of con sidering and determining w : hat course their in terest, duty, and safety call on them to adopt in regard to it. 2. Resolved, That we approve of the proposi tion to hold a convention of the Southern peo ple at Nashville, on the Ist Monday in June, in stant, and ratify, as a part of the people of the second Congressional District, the election of by the legislative caucus, and request their punctual attendance at said con vention. 4. Resolved, That we have, and ever have had, an ardent, but rational attachment to the Union, which exists under and by virtue of the constitution, and as ardent and rational a de testation of any Union which shall be based upon a wilful violation of that constitution, whether for purposes of acquiring an unjust and iniquitous increase of power, or of gratify ing a wicked and nonsensical fanaticism. 4. Resolved, That the charge c manatingfrom any source, that the friends of the proposed conven tion are in saver of a dissolution of our hitherto most glorious Union, is a mischievous slander, and in its effects calculated to embolden our Northen adversaries in their continued attacks upon our constitutional rights. 5. Resolved, That we hail with the most sin cere pleasure the adjustment of the conflicting views of both the North and South, upon the vexed question of domestic slavery, upon the plain and obvious views of the constitution, asking no concession, nor disposed on our part to abate ‘one jot or tittle” from its guaranties or requirements. 6. Resolved, That the territories of the Uni ted States are the common property of the citi zens of all the States, and that any act of legis lation by Congress, making a distinction be tween the citizens of the several States to the rights therein, is unjust, unequal and unconsti tutional, and therefore not to be tolerated by a free people, having a due regard to self-respect. 7. Resolved, That we tender to those mem bers of Congress from the free States, who have interposed their efforts to preserve and enforce the compromises of the constitution upon the subject of slavery, the homage of our sincere respect, and trust that their patriotic efforts may stay the torrent of encroachments which is so insidiously undermning the fabric of our glorious Union. 8. Resolved, That we highly approve of the late movement of our representatives at Wash ington, who have aided in establishing a paper at the capital of the Union, devoted to the main tenance of Southern Rights, and pledge our selves to its support. The adoption of the report was urged by Messrs. R. H. Powell, James F. Malone, ani Edward Carey, Esqs., in eloquent addresses, in which they strongly depicted the encroachments | constantly made by the North upon our consti j tutional rights, and ably vindicated the friends of the Nashville convention from the charge of favoring a dissolution of the Union. The Rev. Mr. Henderson was called out and addressed the meeting in his usually eloquent style, in favor of the Union as it is, and against the expediency of holding the proposed South ern Convention; and concluded by endorsing the sentiments contained in the report of the Committee. On motion of 11. H. Randall, Esq., it was ordered that the precedings of this meeting be signed by the chairmen and secretaries, and sent to the Advertiser and Gazette, for publica tion i and that the Journal and Atlas, Mont gomery ; Republican, Tuskegee ; and Enquirer, Sentinel, Times, Columbus, Ga., be requestad to copy. And on motion, the,meeting adjourned. M. N. ELY, ) . J. B. HOOTEN, ( Chairmen. R. W. CAWLEY, ) Q J. F. MALONE. \ Secretaries. Remember, the only original and genuine Wistaria Balsam of Wild Cherry, was introduced in the year 1533, and has been well tested in all the complaints for which it is recommended. For ten years it has proved more efficacious as a remedy for coughs, colds, influen za, bronchitis, asthma and consumption, in its incipient stages, than any other medicine. Seth W. Fowle, Druggist, No. 138, Washington et., Boston, Mass.,is the sole proprietor of the original re ceipt for the manufacture of the genuine medicine, and supplies both at wholesale and retail, and of whom agen cies can be obtained. Dr. Wm. Shaw says: “I wish heartily success to your medicine. I consider every case of arrest of the fatal symptoms of pulmonary disease as a diieet tribute to suffering humanity ; and so hopeless are these cases generally that, physicians are always justified in using any remedy which has signally benefitted others. One thing is certain ; the public always have a guaranty that patent medicines will generally be sustained only just so long as they are well prepared and continue to relieve or cure.” In a more recent letter he says: “As Wistaris Bal sam of Wild Cherry is the only patent medicine to which I have given my public recommendation, I shall not he suspected by the candid of giving rash or precipitate testimony as to what I have seen and heard of its eflects.” None genuine, unless signed I.
