Piidoi.'rO and approve the resolutions and address
l he Nashville Convention.
■- U’ That in the proceedings of the
Nashville Convention, we see a devotion to the
union ot the States upon the principles of the
Constitution that cannot be surpassed, iior too
highly recommended. And we further declare,
that the recommendations of the Convention,
composed as it was, of wise and patriotic men,
AVlngs and Democrats, from different sections
of the South, are entitled to the highest respect,
and the basis of settlement proposed by it should
be accepted by every true hearted'Southern
man, as the common platform of the whole
South from which he would not be driven ex
cept at the point of the bayonet
3d. Resolved, That the plan of settlement,
proposed by the committee of thirteen, com
monly known as the Clay compromise, is in open
violation of the Constitution, and manifestly
unjust to the South. It is a base surrender of
South’ rn rights and honor christened with the
baptismal name of compromise.
4th. Resolved, That the movements of the
people of California in forming a State consti
tution, are wanton violations of the Federal
Constitution, without precedent, and destructive
of our rights, and that we, as a portion of the
people, who are deeply affected by this question,
will oppose her admission as a sovereign State
of this Union to the bitter end, with her present
extended boundaries, but for the sake of peace
and’ harmony, and in a generous spirit of liberty,
We are willing to acquiesce in her admission if
the line 0f36-30 be made her Southern boundary.
sth. Resolved, That we go for the line of 36-30
because it was originally forced upon us, and
has since l)ee recognized by Congress and ac
quiesced in by the country—because it is the
easiest and simplest way of settling the ques
tion upon a permanent basis—because the South
has never been benefited by it but if extended
now to the Pacific, she will get a fair share of
the teiritories; because each party will fully
Understand tin? rights accruing to it—because
it was recommended by the Nashville Conven
tion, arid lastly it will enlist a greater number
of advocates than any plan yet proposed.
6th. Resolred, That as the States have a com
mon interest in the District of Columbia, any
law enacted by Congress interfering with the
buying or selling of slaves in said District, is in
bad faith to the Southern States, and a positive
violation of our rights, and ought not to be sub
mitted tn by the Southern people.
7th. Resolved , That the recognition by the
Tl.- b’ and S'ates of the independence of Texas,
with her prescribed boundaries, the act of Con
gress providing for annexation, and the accept
ance of.T"X?. of the terms proposed, gave to
foxas as against the United States, a title clear
md unquestionable to the boundaries described
. her von motion, that the United States only
reserv'd the right to settle the question of bound
ary tv it! i M vico. and the latter by treaty with
t gov rnment having yielded that boundary,
the ben.- fit inures to Texas.
Bth. Resolred. That as we have nothing to
expect from the magnanimity of the North, she
having lost all brotherly love and respect for us,
our divisions should be healed, the voice of
party hushed, and we should unite upon a
definite plan of defence, that we, as the aggriev
ed party, might extort from her our just rights.
9th. Resolred. That we approve of the Mass
Meeting of the friends of the Missouri Compro
mise, to be held in Macon on 22d inst., and as
many of us as can conveniently, will attend said
meeting.
10th. Resolred, That we take this opportuni
ty to express our sentiments, that we have
viewed with pleasure and satisfaction, the course
pursued by his Excellency, G. W. Towns, in re
lation to Southern rights and interests.
The report and resolutions were adopted with
out a dissenting voice.
On motion, it was ordered that the Macon
and Columbus papers, and the Southern Press,
publish the proceedings of the meeting.
The meeting then adjourned.

Admission of California*
TIIE PROTEST OF SOUTHERN SENATORS-
The following is the protest of the Southern
Senators, (whose names are attached,) against
the bill admitting California into the Union:
We, the undersigned Senators, deeply im
pressed with the importance of the occasion and
with a solemn sense of the responsibility under
which we are acting, respectfully submit the fol
lowing protest against the bill admitting Cali
fornia as a State into this Union, and request
that it may be entered upon the Journal of the
Senate. We ‘feel that it is not enough to have
resisted in debate alone a bill so fraught with
mischief to the Union and the States we repre
sent, with all the resources of argument which
we possessed, but that it is also due to ourselves,
the people whose interests have been entrusted
to our care, and to posterity, which even in the
nost distant generations may feel its conse
quences, to have, in whatever form may be most
solemn and enduring, a memorial of the opposi
tion which we have made in this measure, and
of the reasons by which we have been governed.
Upon the pages of a journal which the Constit
ution requires to be kept so long as the Senate
may have an existence, we desire to place the
reasons upon which we are willing to be judged
by generations living and yet to come, for our
opposition to a bill whose consequences may be
so durable and portentous as to make it an object
of deep interest to all who may come after us.
We have dissented from this bill because it
gives the sanction of law, and thus imparts val
idity to the unauthorized action of a portion of
the inhabitants of California, by which an odious
discrimination is made against the property
of* the fifteen slaveholding States of the
Union, who are thus deprived of that position of
equality which the Constitution so manifestly
designs, and which constitutes the only sure and
stable foundation upon which this Union can re
pose.
Because the right of the slaveholding States
to a common and equal enjoyment of the territo
ry of the Union has been defeated by a system
of measures which, without the authority of pre
cedent. of law, or of the Constitution, were man
ifestly contrived for that purpose, and which
Congress must sanction and adopt should this
bill become a law. In sanctioning this system
of measures, this Government will admit, that
the inhabitants of its territories, whether perma
nent'or transient, whether lawfully of unlawful
ly occupying the same, may form a State with
out the previous authority of law, without even
the partial security of territorial organization
•formed bv Congress without any legal census or
other efficient evidence of their possessing the
nnmb°r of citizens'necessary to authorize the
representation which they may claim,and with
out any of those safeguards about the ballot box
which can only lie provided by law, and which
are necessary to ascertain the true sense of a
people, li will admit, too, that Congress having
refused to provide a government, except upon
the condition of excluding slavery by law, the
Executive branch of this government may, at its
own discretion, invite such inhabitants to meet
in convention, under such rules as it or its
agents may prescribe, and to form a constitution
affecting not only their own rights but those of
fifteen States of the Confederacy, by including
territory with the purpose of excluding those
States from its enjoyment, and without regard
to the natural fitness of boundary or any of the
limits of a State. It will also admit that the con
vention thus called into existence by the Execu
tive, may be paid by him out of the'funds of the
United States, without the sanction of Congress,
in violation not only of the plain provisions of
the Constitution, but of those principles of ob
vious propriety which would forbid any act cal
culated to make that convention dependent up
on it: and last but not least in the series of
measures which this Government must adopt
and sanction in passing this bill, is the release of
the authority of the United States by the Exec
utive alone to a government thus formed, and
not presenting even sufficient evidence of its
having the assent of a majority of the people for
whom it was designed. With a view of all
these considerations, the undersigned are con
strained to believe that this Government could
never be brought to admit a State presenting it
; sell under such circumstances, if it were not for
: the purpose of excluding the people of the slave
| holding States from all opportunity of settling
with their property in that Territory.
Because to vote for a bill passed under such
circumstances would be to agree to a principle
which mav exclude forever hereafter, as it does
now, the States which we represent, from all en
joyment of the common territory of the Union; a
principle which destroys the equal rights of their
constituents, the equality of their States in the
Confederacy, the equal dignity of those whom
they represent, as men and as citizens, in the eye
of the law, and their equal title to the protection
of the Government and the Constitution.
Because all the propositions have been reject
ed which have been made to obtain either a re
cognition of the fight of the slaveholding
States to a common enjoyment of all the territo
ry of the United States, or to a fair division of j
that territory between the slatteholding and the j
non-slaveholding States of the Union; every ,
effort having failed which has been made to ob- j
tain a fair division of the territory proposed to
be brought in as the State of California
But, lastly, we dissent from this bill, and so
lemnly protest against its passage, because, in
sanctioning measures so contrary to former pre
cedent, to obvious policy, to the spirit and intent
of the Constitution of the United States, for the
purpose of excluding the slaveholding States
from the territory thus to be erected into a State, !
this Government, in effect, declares, that the r x
clusion of slavery from the territory of the U.
States is an object so high and important as to
justify a disregard, not only of all the principles
of sound policy, but also of the Constitution it
self. Against this conclusion we must now and
forever protest, as it is destructive of the safety
and liberties of those whose rights have been
committed to our care—fatal to the peace and
equality of the States which we represent—and
must lead, if persisted in, to the dissolution of
that Confederacy in which the slaveholding
►states have never sought more than equality,
and in which they will not be content to remain
with less.

The California Fraud.
It has been asserted that a majority of the so
called California Convention was composed of
Southern men. This assertion, we believe, first
made its appearance in the New Orleans Bulletin ,
and was extensively copied by anti-Southern
presses, like every other fabrication calculated
to prejudice the cause of this section of the
Union, and forward the designs of the abolition
ists and free-soilers. By way of undeceiving
our readers, and putting them in possession of
the facts, so that they can undeceive others, we
publish a list of the members, subjoining to each
the place of his nativity, his age, his employment,
and the length of his residence in California :

Os the fifteen members born in slave States,
ten were born from the border States of Mary

New York was the birth place of ten of the
members, California of fire, Spain one, France

Georgia none, South Carolina none, North Caro
lina none, Mississippi none. Louisiana none, Ark
ansas none, Texas none. Nine members had not
been one year in the country. Such was the ma
terial of which the California Convention was
composed.
California Bill.
This bill comes before the Senate to-day, and
we are informed that its passage will be urged
by the majority, without any amendment for the
division of that territory.
The Senate has acquired the character of a
conservative body. If it sanctions this bill it
will take the lead as a destructive one.
YY~e have presented, from time to time, argu
ments against this measure—and the argument ]
lias also been made with overwhelming force by j
Southern Senators. Perhaps the time for argu- !
ment lias passed.
\\ T e consider it our duty now to refer to the j
consequences.
If this bill passes both houses, it is made the
duty of the Governor of Georgia, by a resolution
of the Legislature of that State at its last session,
to convene that body by proclamation forthwith.
That duty will be promptly performed. The
Legislature will meet promptly. If that body
retains the sentiments of last session, or above
all, if the members respect the sentiments of the
people as pronounced at the recent extraordi
nary demonstration of public opinion, at a multi
tude of public meetings in that State, it may be
expected that the most decisive and effective
measures will be taken. When Georgia shall
have thus decided, South Carolina will follow
in ten days with an unanimity never surpassed,
in any community on any measure. These two
States will offer ample aid to Texas; Mississippi,
Alabama and Florida, will immediately follow.
And when this is done the fate of the Union will
probably be decided. Y\ hen winter comes, the
other Southern Legislatures meet, and Virginia
must decide. She is a State, whose fame, since
the Revolution, has been sustained by her resis
-1 tance to Federal usurpation and encroachment.
’ She will hardlv become its ally, or a neutral.
Ot her it will never be said,
“ To die a State or live a slave
Thy choice is most ignobly brave.”
But Whatever may be thought of the course
■ of Virginia or other Southern States, it is cer
j tain that not all the Federal armv and navy
! combined can coerce the States of Georgia',
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas
] and Florida. And if militia from other States
! are called for, not a solitary platoon can be found
; in any slaveholding State, and very few in the
Southern half of the Northwestern States—or
in the cities or seaboard of the North Atlantic.
\Y T e think very few can be found any where, and
certainly not enough to make any impression
on the six States we have named.
YVe are as much opposed to war as any other
people. YVe have a vivid sense of its evils, im
mediate and remote—of the vices it engenders,
the wrongs it perpetrates, the misery it inflicts,
the ruin that results. But in such a conflict
the South would not only have the right on her
side; she could not decline it witho it dishonor
and disaster. The scheme of wresting from
seven millions of free people by the mere for
mula of a majority vote, their rightful share of
the richest territory under the sun, and this with
| the avowed design of fixing eternal barriers
j against their future progress, is not surpassed in
t irpitude, and will not be surpassed in the con
i sequences it will bring on its authors, by any act j
of spoliation recorded in history.
These remarks may be regarded as threats or
menaces. Suppose they are. We are threaten
ed with a great outrage; shall we not return
threat for threat, and repel menace with defiance?
But we have presented these views from a
sense of duty, ami with feelings of sorrow rath
er than resentment. YVe believe, nay, we are
] morally certain, that a majority of the Northern
pe pie would, if this subject were fully before
tnem, decide against the contt mptible outrage.
Those who now represent them know full well
that if they vote for this measure, they do so to
preserve a party ascendency at home, rather
tiian to support the opinions of a majority of
the whole Northern people. We know that a
majority of the Northern people are opposed to
slavery and its territorial extension. But that is
not now the question. It is whether they will
employ the power of the Federal Government
to propagate that opinion by fraud and by the
sword, against half the States of the Union.
If we were in favor of a dissolution of the
Union, we would delight in nothing so much as
in the passage of the proposed bill. That would
effect it sooner or later. It inflicts a wound on
Southern feeling that never can be healed. It
will of itself create a Disunion party there that
nothing can overthrow.
YVe trust, however, that the California bill, if
unchanged, will be contested inch by inch in the
Senate, and if passed there, in the House also.
Time is with us. The Southern people are be
coming more and more united and decided.
YVh/en time is thus given—when the argument is
exhausted, and the consequences are obvious—
the North may take the responsibility. —Southern

Important to Cotton Planters.
Mr. Hillary Foster, of this city, has been tra
velling through the counties of Lowndes, Mon
roe and Chickasaw, in Mississippi. In a letter,
dated Aberdeen, July 30, 1850, after speaking
in flattering terms of the cotton and corn crops
of those counties, he remarks:
“On the 27th inst., ("July.) I rode over the
crop of my old fiend, Charles Gates, Esq., and
I can truly say that I have never seen eight
thousand acres in one crop promising at that ]
date a heavier yield. He lias had but one ,
cause of alarm, which has almost vanished in !
the last ten days. A fortnight ago, he discover- i
ed in his fields great numbers of the flies which
are said to produce the boll worm. After some
reflection, lie conceived the idea of catching
them with molasses.
“ Accordingly, lie procured a gross of plates, 1
and tilled them with molasses; he appropriated
one plate to every five acres, throughout his
fields. The result has been, the death of from
three hundred to lour hundred of these flies
every day, until the whole tribe in and about his
plantation have disappeared. Others are fol- J
lowing his example, with confidence, that like ]
results will attend their efforts. The plates are 1
set on small posts, elevated from twelve to sis- <
teen inches above the tops of the cotton plant.”
The letter from which the above extract is j
•made was addressed to a gentleman of Greene
county, Alabama, who handed it for
to tueuieciioß.,.’ i wi.-ff., we obtained it.
It had, however, been previously shown to a
number of the planters of the county, who were
testing the experiment, the success of which is
thus noticed by the Whig:
-“ Several of our planters are now trying anew
remedy for the fly in cotton, and apparently j
with great success. The method consists in
placing throughout the iield, at regular intervals,
numbers of plates filled with molasses, which <
act as traps for the. flies. The plates should be i
set upon stakes, about as high as the top of the
plant, and the molasses should be mixed with
vinegar, to produce fermentation, and thereby (
diffuse the odor. The dishes should be set in
the evening, and some of the planters in Green
have caught several thousand flies in a single
night.”
The Aberdeen Independent has the following
concerning this expedient:
“ YVe had occasion to ride across the prairies,
west of this city, a few days ago, and visited
plantations of cotton on which this experiment
was tried. We saw the plates of molasses and
vinegar, and saw numbers of these millers or
flies in them. The experiment seems to be en
tirely successful, and we recommend it to all
our planting friends for trial forthwith. The
molasses and vinegar are mixed so as to be of
1 a thick consistency, and the plates are placed in
the ratio of one to two or three acres. The
boll worm has been for years the direst of ene
mies to the cotton crop. The crops through
the section we visited were promising; the
corn needed rain very much, and will suffer if
its wants are not supplied. The cotton is about
three weeks later, or younger than at this date
in previous years, and if a favorable fall does
not greet it, the crop must suffer largely by it.”
A Welch Magistrate.
A traveller having made an excellent supper
at an Inn in North Wales, observed that “no
body could have made a better.”
t“ op, Mop,” said the landlord, “ you are in
Wales, sir, and must not make personal com
parisons, without adding, the Mayor excepted.”
“ No,” rejoins the other, “ I'll except neither
Mayor or aldermen; I say no man could have
made a better supper than I have done.”
“ Will you not ?” said Boniface. “Then let
me tell you, you'll be fined five shillings.”
“Fined or confined, it matters not; I’ll not
except a soul of them,”
The landlord made his bow and exit, but the
next morning summoning his guest before the
j Mayor for the act of petty treason, and the fine
j was in consequence exacted and paid: when
i the traveller, turning round ‘to the landlord in
open court, thus addressed him:
“ I have travelled through a greater part of
; England, Scotland and Ireland, and except the
identical animal that chews the thistle, I have
; never met with so egregious an ass as you are, i
landlord; and then turning with an air of pro- j
j found reverence to the bench, he added, “ the I
Mayor excepted.”

YVhat the Canadians think of YVistar’s Balsam.
[From the Montreal Transcript, July 22,1843.]
YY r e think it but due to Dr. YVistarthat we should add
our testimony to numerous others as to the extraordina
ry merits of his medicines in certain cures, particularly
where the patient has complained of pain in the side, or
in cases of an asthmatical character.
YY’e arc per oually acquainted with many persons who
have experienced immense relief from the use of this
m dicine, when laboring under the diseases above men
t >ned ; and as in the changeable climate of Canada
these diseases are more than usually common, any med
ic ne calculated to counteract them must be of value.
Y\ : e are aware that it has a large and still increasing sale,
and has been very generally and beneficially used since
its introduction into Canada three years ago—and the
very fact of its having stood the test of three years ex
perience is proof ol its value.
YVe are not in the habit of recommending patent med
icines unless the benefits conferred by them have come
under our own observation ; but, in the present instance,
we can recommend YVistar’s Balsam of Wild Cher
ry, as a medicine worthy of the confidence of the public
in diseases of the chest and side, and in many cases in this
city severe coughs have yielded to its influence.

GREAT COUGH REMEDY!
AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
FOR THE CURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Hoarseness, Bronchitis, Whoop
ing-Coughs, Croup, Asthma and Consumption.
This truly valuable remedy for all diseases of the
lungs and throat, has become the chief reliance of the
afflicted as it is the most certain cure known for the
above complaints. While it is a powerful remedial
agent in the most desperate and almost hopeless cases of
Consumption, it is also, in diminished doses, one of the
mildest and most agreeable family medicines for com
mon coughs and colds. Read below the opinion of
men who are known to the world, and the world respect
their opinions.
From Professor Hitchcock.
James C. Ayer—Sir: I have used your “Cherry
Pectoral” in my own case of deep seated Bronchitis,
and am satisfied fro n its chemical constitution that it is
an admirable compound for the relief of laryngial and
bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior
character can be of any service you are at liberty to use
it as you think proper.
EDYVARD HITCHCOCK, L, L. D„
President of Amherst College.
From the “London Lancet
“Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral” is one of the most val
uable preparations that has fallen under our notice. After
a careful examination, we do not hesitate to say we have
a large appreciation of its merits and the fullest confi
dence in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.”
Dr. Brewster, of YVindhnm 00., Conn., sends us the
following testimony:
Dr. .T. C. Ayer—Dear Sir; I enclose you a certificate
from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly respectable lady
of this village, wile of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff,
Windham co., Conn. The cure in her case was very
prompt, and has attracted general attention.
YV. A. BREYVSTER, M. D.
YVest Killingly, Ct., Sept. 28, 184S.
This may certify that I was afflicted with a very severe
cough in the winter of ’47-8, which threatened to ter
minate in consumption. I had tried many medicines in
vain, and was cured bv the use of “Ayer's Cherry
Pectoral.” CATHARINE K. CADY:
Direct Evidence.
Dr. J. C. Ayer, Lowell—Dear Sir: Feeling under obli-
I gations to you for the restoration of my health, I send you
] a report ot my case, which you arc at liberty to publish
for the benefit of others. Last autumn I took a bad cold,
accompanied by a severe cough , and made use of many
medicines without obtaining relief. I was obliged to
give up business, frequently raised blood, and could get
no sleep at night. A friend gave me a bottle of your
Cherry Pectoral, the use of which I immediately
commenced according to directions. I have just pur
chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered. I now
sleep well, my cough has ceased, and all by the use of
your valuable medicine. E. S. STONE. A. M.,
Principal Mt. Hope Seminary.
From Dr. Bryant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee
Falls, Mass:
Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: Enclosed please find re
mittance for all the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I
can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives
such satisfaction as your’s does ; nor have I ever seen a
medicine which cured so many cases of cough and lung
complaints. Our physicians are using it extensively in
their practice, and with the happiest effects.
Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT.

Dr. Willcox’s Sarsaparilla,
IS decidedly the best Medicinal Extract for the cure
of all diseases arising from an impure state of the
blood, and other fluids, that has ever been brought
before the public. The following are a few of the com
plaints in which the power of this extraordinary Com
pound has been displayed, viz:
Scrofula , Salt Rheum, Fever Sores, Piles, Seald
Head, Pimples on the Face and Body, Liver Com
plaint, Rheumatism, Consumption, Erysipelas,
Cancers, Ulcers, and all Mercurial Diseases.
It is also a certain cure tor
Indigestion or Dyspepsia and General Debility,
and is especially valuable for
Female Complaints.
The origin of all diseases, it will undoubtedly be ad
mitted, arises from impurities of the blood and fluids
generally, or the action of morbid causes upon both flu
ids and solids—and whatever remedy will restore the
physical functions to a healthy state, and carry off the
corrupt matter which impregnates the hi odd and other
fluids, must necessarily be of great interest to mankind.
Many of the medicines now in use are wanting in
their sanitary effects, in consequence of the absence of
some essential article, or an injudicious combination of
the ingredients used.
Against this medicine no such charge exist 3 . While it
does all that other Extracts of Sarsaparilla are said to
perform,it accomplishes what they leave undone.
Penetrating and Purifying the Blood
is only a part ofits office ;
The Secretions of the Fluids Generally are Pro ■
moted by it,
and the internal muscular action relieved from that slug
gishness, which frequently lays the foundation of that
distressing complaint, general ly known under the name of
Indigestion.
Its effect on the solids is such as to give to each part of
the muscular system that wholesome relaxation by
which the blood is enabled to extend its circulation free
ly, leaving the extremities as well supplied With life as
those parts least exposed to exterior changes.
The disfigured appearance of many of the human fam
ily by
Tumors, Ahseesses, Swellings , Glandular and Cu
taneous affections,
may he attracted to the inactivity of the, organs where
these affections occur. As the fungus makes its appear
ance in decaying vegetable matter, so do Tumors pre
sent themselves on the human frame whenever the ani
mation ofits parts is partially suspended. This medi
cine, then, by its singular and peculiar action on the
solids, is eminently calculated to afford relief when,
without it, the scalpel would hasten the patent to a pre
mature grave.
This Compound Extract of Sarsaparilla,
In Chronic Constipation,
Quietly insinuates itself through, and purifies the fluids,
relaxes the solids, and without draining the sufferer of
his energies, restores a healthy and permanent vital ac
tion.
In Rheumatic Complaints,
Its virtues are incomparable. The nervous system,
which, in these derangement 3 , is deprived of its equili
brium, yields its negative action, assumes the positive,
and supplies the blood with that assistance in its arterial
transit which, in endeavoring to make, before caused
pain and inflammation. THERE 18 SCARCELY
e CHRONIC AILMENT which may notbe greatly
r lieved, and in most cases,entirely cured, by a judicious
and well-timed use of this remedy.
Nervous Diseases
and
Female Complaints ,
The most gratifying results have been effected. In
such cases, it taken as set forth in the directions, this
remedy will be found in reality an IN VIGOR A'l OR
AND; AS IT WERE, A LIFE-RESTORER.
To go through with the whole list ot human ills is not
the design of this circular. The principle of the medi
cinal effect in cases lor which this Sarsaparilla is a cer
tain cure, is all that is intended to bo shown, and all that
’ is necessary to bo known, to ensure its universal use.
