Tift and i J)r. John G.

G. Bvrd, the Ist and 11th resolutions by Hon. Lott Warren, and the 7th, Bth, 9th, 10th and 12th, by R. F. Lyon. Esq. PREAMBLE AND RESOLUTIONS. The privilege we enjoy of peacably conven- ! ing, discussing and determining upon questions i of interest and importance, is one which is ines- j tunable, and in a government like ours while we j so look upon it, it is with a determination that j we will not abuse it. At this particular period, i it is not only a privilege, but a duty paramount j to all others which has assembled us, on account of violations about being practiced against the I Constitution, the aggressions which our North ern brethorn are disposed to force against the . Southern portion of our confederacy, which, if I they are successful in doing, will not only show a total disregard of our feelings and rights as ; members of the same union, but will be tarnish ing the escutcheon of our honor. Our country j is shaken to its very centre, by the apparent ra pacity and ambition of the non-slaveholding por tion of tlio United States, b ing disposed to ap propriate to its sole use and interest, the territo ry lately acquired by the valor of American arms, and with the treasures of the government, to the j total exclusion of the slave-holding States.—The j question of slavery and the subject connected j within Congress, are those which now threaten a dissolution of the Union: they should be met with manly firmness and determination, but with a spirit of moderation and conciliation. We therefore, Resolved, firs!, That the Territories were ac quired as the property of the States, and their citizens, and it is the right oi’ every citizen in the United States, to become a citizen and in- i habitant of the territories, atul to possess and j enjoy there, any property known to the Consti- ! tutionofthe United States, as well slaves as of any other kindand it is the duty of Congress , to provide, by law, for the protection and enjoy- i meat of all property, held by all the citizens of the several States in those territories, so long as they remain in a territorial condition. Resolved, That it is the duty of Congress to I speedily settle and adjust the slavery question upon Constitutional principles, alike fair to all j portions of the Union, and we cordially desire, and hope, that the wisdom and patriotism of! Congress will soon etfect this. Resolved, That the territories of the United , States, should be forthwith provided with gov ernments, so that our citizen* removing to them with property may be protected in the enjoy- ! meat of it, and all other Constitutional rights. Resolved, That we approve of, and adopt, the ! Resolutions of the Nashville Convention, and cordially recommend them to the support of the j •Southern people. Resolved, That should Congress refuse to recognize the Constitutional rights of the South- j vrn people in the territories, then they should be ‘ “divided between the sections of the Union, so : that the rights of both sections be adequately se cured in their respective shares.’’ For this pur pose we are willing to acquiesce in the Missouri Compromise line of 30 deg. 30 min. North lati tude extending to the Pacific ocean, and also be cause the South has faithfully adhered to this line, since its adoption. Resolved, That in the threatened difficulty between Texas and the Federal Government, our sympathies are with Texas, from a firm con viction of the justice of her claim, and in case of a collision, which we deprecate, \v ith the Fed eral Government, the South should fetd it an im peritive duty to render Texas such assistance as may be necessary to maintain her rights. Resolved, That we view the appropriation of ten millions of dollars, from the public Treasury j for a relinquishment of the title of Texas to her territory in New Mexico, as a violation of the : rights of the balance of the Southern States, for it : compels their contribution for the probable, al most certain, conversion of Territory, that is now slave territory, into free soil. Resolved, That we deprecate a Disunion of; the United States, and shall deeply regret that Congress, by any unjust and iniquitouslegisla- | tion, should drive the South, or any portion of the States, to any such stringent measure, ar.d in view of this feeling on our part, we earnest ly desire, that the Convention when called, shall devise some measure, meeting the action of Con gress, by the adoption of virtual non-intercourse with the North, or some other peacable and Con stitutional measure, that will induce the North ern people to cease their unnatural warfare on us and our institutions—to do us that justice . and atford us that protection to our property, in the territories and elswhere which we and ii are . entitled to under the Constitution, and articles ; of our compact that will dispense with the nec essity of a Disunion, which should be resorted to j only after all other plans for an adjustment of our rights have failed. Resolved, That vve do not make this recom- ; jwendation to trammel or restrict the action of the Convention ; for we hope that they, in their deliberations, mav take tbe widest and most comprehensive view cf the questions that con vene them, nor do we so to create disaffection, but to heal dissensions among ourselves, and en able the whole Southern people to come together on one common platform, which is so essential ly necessary to success in any proposed plan of resistance to federal usurpations of Southern Rights, and we do so, further, with a sincere and | honest desire to save the L’nion if we can. Resolved, i hat in case our suggestion is not made the policy of the Convention: and they should adopt some other, in their judgment bet ter—whatever plan that may be, we pledge our selves to its support, when ratified by the people. Resolved, That should the Governor call a Con vention cf the people ofGoorgia, bv authority of the act oft! le last Legislature, it will be the duty ; of tbe Convention, to submitt fairly to the people for their ratification, any measure of redress that may be adopted by the Convention, and that no measure of redress adopted bv the Convention, shall be of any force, unless ratified by a majori ty of the people of Georgia, fairly expressed. Resolved, That the proceedings of this meet ing bejpub'ished in the Albany Patriot, the Macr n and all other papers in the State disposed to fa vor them. Resolved, On motion of Lott Warren, that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to the Chairmen and Secretaries ol the day. On motion, the meeting then adjourned. A. B. LAWTON, ) J. F.

The following interesting correspondence be tween some citizens of Burke and the Hon. J. McPherson Berrien it affords us pleasure to lav before our readers and the public: Alexander, (Ga..) Aug. 10, 1850. Sir: Fully impressed with the belief that your deliberately expressed opinion, upon the principles involved in this crisis cf our public affairs, would exercise a most momentous influ ence upon the distracted counsels of the State, we have taken the liberty of intruding upon your leisure moments. In propounding the fol iowing questions for your consideration, we propose to make such a disposition cf your re ply, (should you deem them worthy of one,) as you. in your mature judgment, may consider most conducive to the public Interests. We feel no hesitation in expressing our decided conviction, that a public expression of opinion, on your part, would be directly instrumental in harmonising the conflicting views prevailing to so great an extent in the State of Georgia. This conviction, thus farced upon our minds, must be our apology for the liberty we have I taken. Allow us to express our highest appro [ halion of the stand you have taken in our be | half. .| I. If the bill reported to the Senate by the committee of thirteen, known as the compro mise bill, had becoma a law of the land, could slavery have been extended to the Territories acquired from Mexico? 2. Will not the claim ‘‘that Congress has the right, and it is its duty to legislate to protect slavery in the Territories,” yield, by implication, the power to legislate against it? 3. If the constitution confers “the right of slavery to enter and occupy the territories of the United States,” will the demand upon Con gress to recognize that right in any and every i territorial bill, be inconsistent with the doctrine of non-intervention? In submitting these questions to your consi deration, to be decided upon, in the premises, according to your discretion, we have the honor to be, very respectfully, James H. Royal, JOS. A. SIIKUMAKE, Rick'd S. Scruggs. lion. Jxo. McPherson Berrien. Washington, Aug. 31st, 1850. Gentlemen : Laboring under indisposition and pressed by engagements. I have not until now been able to answer your letter. Presuming you have kept a copy of it. I do not re-state your questions—accept the following answers. 1. If the compromise bill should pass, slavery will be excluded from California, to the provision in her constitution, by which Congress will have given validity—ns to Mexico and Utah,it will de pend upon the quest! m whether the Mexican laws are in force. 1 hold that they are not.— They ara superceded by our own, as soon as territorial government is organized—but others entertain or propose to entertain a different opinion—and the doubt thus evinced will prevent slave-holders from carrying their property there to encounter law suits. Congress ought, there fore. to insert in any act which they pass on this subject, a clause stating that the laws of Mexico are not in force in those territories. We have hitherto sought to obtain this in vain—a declara tory clause. 2. I could answer this question generally in the negative—Congress has authority, in various cases, to pass laws in affirmance, and for the protection of existing rights—while it lias no pow er to annul them. Freedom of the press, trial by jury, the right to be exempt from unreasona ble seizures and searches, with others, are con stitutional rights. Congress may pass laws to facilitate the enjoyment of these rights while they have no authority to annul or abridge them. Ho, if the right to hold slaves is a constitutional right, the power to remove any obstructions to its enjoyment in the common territories of the Union, would not draw after it the power to pre vent its enjoyment there. In a word, Congress may legislate for the protection of a right guar anteed by the Constitution, but they cannot legis late to destroy it. 3. The doctrine of non-intervention is not ap plicable to the present state of things. Claytons compromise bill proposed to establish territorial governments for all the territory acquired from Mexico. The effect of it would have been to have opened the whole to the owners of slaves, subject to 1 lie decision of the Supreme Court.— It was to such a case only that non-intervention could apply. But if Mr. Clay’s compromise bill should pass, Congress would intervene by that very act. to prohibit slavery, in the most impor tant and valuable part of the common territory —for all agree that the people who chanced to be in California, had no right to declare this pro hibition, and that their act is entirely null and void until Congress shall give it life and validi ty. It is the same thing as ifCongress had im posed the proviso themselves. If California is admitted with her present Constitution, Con gress will have intervened against the South, and cannot, therefore, with any show of justice, plead non-intervention as an excuse for with holding from the South, any act which may be necessary to protect her in the enjoyment of her Constitutional rights. I hope these answers will be sufficiently ex plicit to put you in possession of my opinions— and while I believe that you attach too much im portance to them, I have not felt myself at liber ty to withhold them. In the present posture of our affairs. 1 am very anxious that my fellow citizens of Georgia should thorough - understand their position, and mingling an ardent love of the Union, with an unalterable determination to assert their equal right# under the Constitution, should calmly and steadily contemplate the con sequences which may result from the decision which they may adopt. T shall be glad to learn that this letter lias reached you. Respectfully yours, J. McPherson berrten. Messrs. James 11. Royal, Joseph A. Sheumake, and Richard S. Scruggs. Nor.-Intercourse. This retaliatory policy, suggest ed at different times by the jftesses and meetings throughout i the South, seems to operate somewhat upon the i nerves of our Northern friends. They do not : profess,however, to be very much frightened, yet i it is evident, from the numerous notices of’ it, j that they deem it as a possible event. A cor respondent of the New York Tribune, writing from Baltimore, says: “Letters from Georgia and Alabama mention a league among many of the merchants there, not to purchase goods at the North—the estab j lishment, in fact, of a regular non-intercourse.— j The same letters say that purchases to a large ] extent will be made in Baltimore, in the place of Philadelphia and New York, as formerly. The slave controversy is the cause of this move, which cannot, however, be carried out to any great extent In conversation with several of our Baltimore wholesalemen, I learned that the dull prospects of a fall trade are dying away, and that they expect to make unusually large sales j to Southern merchants, who have either arrived or are on their way here. This looks, I must confess, a good deal like a formidable non-in tercourse, which, if ‘unanimously carried out, might temporarily embarrass your large impor ters. Some Southerners may avow their deter mination not to deal in any way with the North, but such a determination cannot hold long.— Northern manufactures and importations must be had- and if the present merchants of the chivalric South were all to combine together not to purchase from the North, they would soon find tbrmidabie rivals enter the field and reap golden harvests. There is a great deal of blus ter and braggadocio in Southern composition for which very large allowances must be made.” There is not so much as this writer mav im agine, especially in reference to this alienation of feeling with regard to commercial intercourse with tlie North. It requires not much more goading to drive the Southern people to this measure, and the North had better not under take to ascertain how far we can be driven ere we adopt this or disunion. As for the formida ble rivals mentioned, vve are rather of the opin ; ion that this policy, once adopted, they would lbe few and far between. They would pretty soon ship for another market, and wc are very j certain that it would require a large capital, anil more brass and bravery than would be deemed safe or expedient, for Northern rivals to come and start a business with such a state of things existing. The “chivalric South” can bear a great deal, but one ofits component and elemen tary parts is scorn for meanness, and this wri ter may reiy upon it these formidable rivals would bs reached in some way.—6’. Caroli nian. Crime—North and South. Police Statistics. —A message just sent to the New \ ork Common Council by the Mayor of that city, states the total number of arrests there during the quarter ending June 30th, at 8,214, of which 3,003 were for intoxication; 1087 for disorderly conduct; 1196 for assaults, and 197 lor fighting. There are 5027 places of sale for spirituous liquors of which 1541 are unlicensed, and 1174 licensed. During the quarter 11,059 persons were lodged in the station house; 1747 lost children restored; 151 sick and injured persons aided; 42 rescued from drowning; 49 fires extinguished; 596 stores and dwellings found open and closed; and $12,313 43 taken from drunken persons and lodgers and restored. If the total number of arrests in the city of New York in one quarter amounts to 8,214, it would be 32,856 in one year—or about one to each fifteen inhabitants. But if vve leave out of the total population, which is about 500,000, the women and children,who constitute nearly three fourths ot it, the number of arrests in one year is more than one out of every five of the male ad ull population! This is on the supposition that the arrests, in the course of a year, are each of different persons. No doubt many are arres ted oftener than once a year, but, on the other hand, many more escape detection and arrest altogether. We are not ignorant of the • melancholy fact, that a considerable number of the persons arres ted are women—white women! Perhaps one fifth of the arrests are white women—and there are some children. It results, therefore, that the adult white male population of New York, about one out of five or six is guilty of criminal offence, annually— and of the adult white women, about one out of twenty—on an average! The State of Virginia has nearly three times as much population, black and white, as the city of New York, yet, as vve learn from a very in telligent gentleman from that State, who has re cently made the investigation, the total number of arrests for last year, for all offences whatever, was only 1200, or only one out of 1175 inhabit ants—so that in New York there arc eighty times as many criminal offences as in Virginia lor an equal number of persons. But then vve shall be told that the slaves are not arraigned by tho police, but are punished by their masters. Well, there are about as many slaves in the State of Virginia asof people in the city ot New \ ork. Now, from what vve have seen and learned, we have no idea that of the two hundred thousand adult slaves of that State, there are anything like 32.556, or one out of six punished in any way whatever, once a year. The institution of slavery prevents drunken ness, assaults, thefts, burglaries, murders, a motig the blacks—as well as starvation. And if it be thus shown that there is less vice and crime in a slave population, than in an equal number of free white people in a great city, how stands the comparison between the white people of Virginia and New York? Why, the portion of crime in Virginia, among the whites, is less than one to a hundred in New York. In one Judicial district in Virginia, of a hun dred thousand people, our native district by the way, and where the court sits twice a year, there was at a recent term not a solitary charge oi’fcl ony on the docket. Yet vve hear men who pretend to be philan thropists and philosophers, and even statesmen, continually contending for reforming Virginia institutions according to the models in New York—yes, there are even Virginians that dis tress themselves daily, because Virginia is not like unto New York! And these men propose to exclude Virginia institutions from unsettled or Mexican territory because they are unfit to go there, and inferior to those of New York. And there are even some Virginians so far gone as to be willing to submit to it! We would like to know who they are—and how many. —Southern Press. Later from Europe. ARRIVAL OF THE CANADA.

This truly valuable remedy for afi diseases of tho | lungs and throat, has become the chief rdianee of the j 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 tho world, and the world respect their opinions. From Professor Hitchcock. James C. Ayer—Sir: I hnvo used your “Cherry | Pectoral” in my own case of deep seated Bronchitis, and atn satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is an admirable compound for tho 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 j it as you think proper. EDWARD IIITCIICOCK, ft, L. D.. President of Amherst College, j From the “London Lancet ” “Ayir’s Cherry Pectoral” is one ofthe 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- j denes in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.” j Dr. Brewster, of Windham co., Conn., sends us the following testimony: Dr. .T. C. Ayer—Dear Sir: I enclose you a certificate from Mrs. Catharine K. Cady, a highly repectable lady ; of this village, wile of Mr. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff, i Windham eo., Conn. The cure in her cate was very ■ prompt, and has attracted general attention. W. A. BREWSTER, M. D. West Kilovolt, Ct., Sept. 23, 1845. This may certify that 1 was afflicted with n very severe ! cough iri the winter of ’47-8, which threatened to ter ! mi nut* In consumption. 1 had tried many medicines in vain, and was cured by the use of ’‘Ayer's Chf.rrt | Pectoral.” CATHARINE K. CADY. Direct Evidence. Dr. J. C. Ayer, Loweil—Dear Sir: Feeling under obli gations to you for the restoration of my health, I send you a report of my case, which you are 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 ! Cjierry Pectoral, tho u.-e of which I immediately ! commenced according to directions I have just pur i chased the fifth bottle, and am nearly recovered. I now ’ sleep well, my cough has ceased, and all by the use of ’ your valuable modicine. L. S. STONhj.A. 31., Principal Mt. Hope Seminary, j From Dr. Bryant, Druggist and Postmaster, Chicopee | Falls, Mass: Dr. J. C. Ayer—Dear Sir : Enclosed please find rc | mittanee for ail the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I I can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives : such satisfaction asyoups does; nor have I ever seen a | medicine which curod so many cases of cough and lung i complaints, Our physicians are using it extensively in their practice, and with the happiest effects.
