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. PERSONS WALKER, ) .

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.

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 : Names.

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 PreM. 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 a Heather ! —A down east editor pub lishes the following diabolical paragraph:— “When you are asked to hold the baby, trot it hard, pinch it, and make faces at it when the mother is not looking. You will soon be reliev ed of the precious charge.” A man who would write such advice deserves to be——put to bed without his supper.— Post. WARM SPRINGS.

[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. £3?” None genuine, unless signed I.

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. Prepared by J. C. AYER, Chemist, Lowell, Mass.

S. HEYS & CO. Columbus, August 1, 1850. 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. !
