rights—our independence—the peace and exis
tence of our families, depend upon the issue.
The Federal Government has within a few
years acquired, by treaty and by triumphant
war. vast territories. This has been done by
the counsels and arms of all, and the benefits
and rights belong alike and equally to all the
States. The Federal Government is but the
common agent of the States united, and repre
sents their conjoined sovereignty over subject
in itter granted and defin ‘d in the compact.
The authority it exercises over all acquired
territory, must, in good faith, be exercised for
the equal benefit of all the parties. To prohibit
our citizens from settling there with the most
Valuable part of our property, is not only de
grading to us as equals, but violates our highest
constitutional rights.
Restrictions and prohibitions against the slave
holding States, it would appear, are to be the
fixed and settled policy of this Government—
and those States that are hereafter to be admit
ted into the Federal Union, from their extensive
territories, wiii but confirm and increase the
power of the majority: and he knows little of
history who cannot read our destiny in the fu
ture, if we fail to do our duty now, as a free
people.
We have been harassed and insulted those
who ought to have been our brethren, in their
constant agitation of a subject vital to us and
the peace of our families. We have been out
raged by their gross misrepresentations of
our moral and social habits, and by the manner
in which they have denounced us before the
world. We have had our property enticed off
and the means of recovery denied us by our
co-states in the confederacy. We have been
denied our rights in the Territories of the Union,
which we were entitled to as political equals
under the constitution. Our peace has been
endangered by incendiary appeals. The Union,
instead of being considered a fraternal bond,
has been used as the means of striking at our
vital interests.
The admission of California, under th cir
cumstances of the case, confirms an authorized
and revolutionary seizure of the public domain,
and the exclusion of near half the States of the
Confederacy from equal rights therein—destroys
the line of 30-30, which was originally acquiesc
ed in as a matter of compromise and peace,
and appropriates to the Northern .States 120,000
square miles below that line, and is so gross and
palpable a violation of the principles of justice
and equality, as to shake our entire confidence
in any security to be given by that majority, who
are now clothed with power to govern the fu
ture d<stin_v of this confederacy.
The recent purchase of territory by Congress
from Texas 1 as low down as 32 deg. oil the Rio
Grande, also indicates that, the boundaries of
the slaveholdiug States are fixed, and our doom
prescribed, so far as it depends upon the will of
a dominant majority, ami nothing now can save
us from a degraded destiny but the spirit, of
freemen, who know their rights, and are resolv
ed to maintain them, be the consequtnces what
they may.
We have no powers that are binding upon
the States we represent. But in order to pro
duce system and concerted action, we recom
mend the following resolutions, viz.:
Resolved, That we have ever cherished, and
do now cherish, a cordial attachment to the con
stitutional union of the States, and that to pre
serve and perpetuate that Union unimpaired,
this convention originated and lias n W re
assembled.
Resolved, That the Union of the States is the
union of equal and independent sovereignties,
and that the powers delegated to the federal
government can be resumed by the several
States whenever it may seem to them proper
and necessary.
Resolved, That all the evils anticipated by the
South, and which occasioned this convention to
assemble, have been realized by the failure to ex
tend the Missouri line of Compromise to the
Pacific Ocean —by the admission of California
as a State—by the organization of Territorial
Governments for Utah and New Mexico with
out giving adequate protection to the property
of the South—by the dismemberment of Texas
—by the abolition of the slave trade, and the
emancipation of slaves carried into the District
of Columbia for sale.
Resolved, That w earnestly recommend to
all parties in the slaveholding States, to refuse to
g > into or countenance any National Conven
tion whose object may be to nominate candi
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency of
the United States under any party denomination
whatsoever, until our constitutional rights are
seemed.
Resolved. That in view of these aggressions
and of those threatened and impending, we
earnestly recommend to the slaveholding states
to meet in a Congress or Convention, to be held
at such time and place as the States desiring to
he represented may designate, to be composed
of double the number of their Senators and
Representatives in the Congress of the United
States, entrusted with full power and authority
to deliberate and act with the view and inten
tion of arresting further aggression, and if possi
ble of restoring the constitutional rights of the
South, and if not, then to provide for their fu
ture safety and independence.
[From the New York Herald,]
The Fugitive Slave Bill—The Late Elections.
The Stampede.
Os all the measures comprised in the slavery
adjustment, the Fugitive slave bill has worked
most emphatically in the North. On the day
that the bill went through the House, Mr. Clay
rose in hi.s place in the Senate, and expressed
his congratulations that the measure was finally
passed, and that the great work of compromise,
only required the abolition of the District slave
trade. That bill, also, was at length passed:
when Mr. Clay took occasion to express his con
victions that peace and harmony would speedi
ly be restored to onr bleeding, agitated and dis
tracted country. A few Abolitionists in the
North, and a few reckless ultras in the South,
might, he supposed, attempt to revive the agita
tion ; but their efforts would be ridiculous. The !
great masses, of both sections, would be satis- j
tied. Harmony would be restored, and the j
North aird South, under the same vine and fig i
tree, would bury the hatchet, and smoke the \
pipe’ of peace together for a very long time to I
conic.
Such was the prophecy of Mr. Clay. What j
is the fact? The Compromise bills were but j
the beginning of the agitation. The fluster, j
bluster, bravado, clap-trap, gas, and terrible j
threats of Abolitionists and Southern ultras, be
fore the settlement, were mere moonshine to
what has succeeded. It is just the difference
between the manceuverings of two armies be
fore an impending war, and the actual guerilla
warfare after the first battle is over. All the
peace measures of the last Congress only carry
us to Buena Vista—the battles of the Southern
column of the army have yet to be fought.
Tiie Fugitive slave bill may well be called
the Buena Vista of the compromise measures.
As in the. fight in Mexico, so in the contest in
Congress; there were many among the bravest j
left upon the field, and many who, deeming u dis
cretion the better pari of valor, kept quiet or
took to their heels. In the Senate, Colonel Ben
son was accidentally absent on the engrossment
of the bill: and, owing probably to the “ noise
and confusion, ’’ General Cass did not answer to
his name. From one cause or other, (and, as far
as we are informed, we give the causes,) the
following Senators were absent, or dumb, or
just stepped out, on the engrossment of the bill,
which was the test question :
ABSENT, STEITED OUT, OR SOT VOTING.
Alabama. —Jeremiah Clemens, tor several
yeeks—gone home.
Arkansas.— Solon Borland, off in Arkansas,
all the session.
Florida. —Jackson Morton, absent.
Indiana. —Messrs. Bright and Whitcomb.
(Bright stepped out, Whitcomb hard of hearing.)
Illinois. —Messrs. Douglass and Shields, (ab
sent or mum.)
Kentucky. —Mr. Clay, absent at Newport,
Maine. —Mr. Hamlin, (Free-eoil.) absent
# Michigan. —Messrs. Cass and Felch. Mr.
Cass was in his seat, but too much “ noise and
confusion” to hear his name called- Mr. Felch
accidentally missing.
Missouri. —Mr. lknton missing; supposed to
kave stepped out,
Netc Hampshire. —Messrs. Hale and Norris.
Hale off home—-Norris no answer.
New York.- —Messrs. Dickinson and Seward—
paired off, to allow Seward so visit New York.
New Jersey. —'Mr. Miller —-gone home.
Rhode Island.— Mr. Clarke—gone home.
Vermont. —Mr. Phelps—.absent from sickness.
Total gone home, absent, stepped out, or not
voting, twenty —or exactly one-third of the en
tire Senate —on the passage of ths act. But to
make the case more clear, we give the ayes and
nous, and the missing, &,c. :

This vote was ominous of what was to come.
The stampede upon it in the House, was also very
significant and suspicious. Thirty-five mem
bers absent, or just stepped out, (J. B. among
them.) or not voting! It was a fugitive bid in
more senses than one. Seldom does a single
shot create such floundering and fluttering.
The Democrats rushed it through the House, to
throw the burden on Mr. Fillmore. It puzzled
him prodigiously whether to sign or not to sign
—to veto or not to veto. He signed. The At- j
torney General explained, or rather apologized,
for the President, in view of the New York
election.
Then commenced the re-action. It has been
overwhelming; but it has not stopped with the
Administration. Cass, Dickinson, Douglass, and
all concerned in, or evading or consenting to, the j
measure, from the North, have been absolutely 1
overwhelmed in the late elections, except in !
New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where the people j
want a modification of the tariff. All prospects j
of national platforms and national candidates, !
upon the prop of the Fugitive slave bill, ar* !
shivered into fragments. The very thing which J
Mr. Clay considered the cap-sheaf of the Com- j
promise, has turned out to be the wooden horse j
to the Trojans. Cass, Felch, and Benton, and !
Douglass, and Bright, smelt the rat, or rather the
cat; but they have not escaped it. It has turn
ed everything upside down, from Cape Cod to
the west bank of the Mississippi—from Buffalo
to Mason and Dixon’s line—and all the arrange
ments, for all the Presidential favorites of all
the cliques, of both the old parlies, are scattered
belter skelter in this nullification excitement—
this fugitive bombshell—this Pandora’s box to
the politicians. Mr. Clay was wide of the mark
In supposing that the Fugitive bill would end
the agitation—it only begins it. Mr. Mason
thought it would do no good, except to test the
sincerity of the North m their professions of
good faith. The test has been applied. It
works wonderfully. It has turned Whigs and
Democrats into fugitives; and it is difficult to
tell whether they or the runaway slaves run the
fastest from the law. But there is this difference
—the fugitive politicians have been overtaken,
while the slaves have generally escaped into
Canada. If such is the beginning of the stam
pede, what will be the end ? Whig and Demo
cratic hunkers—where are they ? their plat
forms —their plans—their candidates—their prin
ciples—their parties? Swallowed up in the
Fugitive bill. Gone!
Next Presidency.
Baltimore, Nov. 21—10 p. m.
The Whigs have nominated Gen. Winfield
Scott, as a candidate for the next Presidency.
Mr. Clayton approves.

The Cholera is raging terribly at Port Royal.
The news of the admission of California into

The mines continue to yield abundantly. News
from overland emigrants states their sufferings

sad havoc among them.
DIED,
At his residence, in Harris county, on Sunday, the
17th inst., of typhoid fever, Wm. Terrill Crawford,
in the 33d yeir of his age.
It would be unjust to the deceased to consign him to
the grave with two cold lines of announcement, and
vat we hesitate to speak of him as we would wish.—
It is due to him to say that he was a man of excellent
heart, that he was noble, generous and confiding; he
never cherished a feeling of hatred or ill-will towards
any human being, and had happily blended in his compo
sition more noble traits of character than often fall to
the lot of any one man. In fortune or adversity, he
had numerous and devoted friends, and when he died,
so far as lie know, he left no enemy behind. With a
perfect knowledge that lie must die, he met his fate as
becomes a man.

GREAT COUGH REMEDY!
AYER’S
Cherry Pectoral.
FOR THE CURE OK
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 mo.->t certain cure known for the
above complaints. While it is a powerful remedial j
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.
rom Professor Hitchcock.
James C. Aver—Sir; I have need your “Cherry
Pectoral” in my own case of deep seated Bronchitis,
and am satisfied from its chemical constitution that it is j
an admirable compound for the relief of laryngial and
bronchial difficulties. If my opinion as to its superior
character can he of any service you are at liberty to use
it as you think proper.
EDWARD HITCHCOCK. L, L. D.,
President of Amherst College.
From the “London Lancet.”
“Ayer’s Ciierry 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 largo appreciation of its met its and the fullest confi
dence in its usefulness for coughs and lung complaints.”
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. Cadv, a highly respectable lady
of this village, wife of Air. Seth Cady, Deputy Sheriff,
Windhatn co., Conn. The cure in her case was very
prompt, and has attracted general attention.
W. A. BREWSTER, M. D.
West Killingi.y, Ct., Sept. 28, 1848.
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. 1 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: Foelingunderobli
gations to you for the restoration of my health, I send you
a report of my case, which you aro at liberty to publish
for tho benefit of others. Lastautumn I took abad 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, tho 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: j
Dr. J. O. Ayer—Dear Sir: Enclosed please find re- I
mittanec for all the Cherry Pectoral last sent me. I ‘
can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives
such satisfaction as yotir’s docs ; nor have 1 ever seen a j
medicine which cured so many cases of cough and lung
complaints. Our physicians arc using it extensively in j
their practice, and with the happiest effects.
Truly yours, D. M. BRYANT.
