THE DAILY TIMES.!
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 15.
Dinner to Gen. Bonham—His Speech.
The last number of the Edgefield Advertiser
brings us an account of what transpired at the
Complimentary Dinner given to the Hon. M. L.
Bonham by his constituents at Edgefield, S. C. I
This compliment was intended as an expression of
their approval of his vote upon the Conference
Bill. In the speech which he made on the occa
sion, therefore, it whs naturally expected that he
would review that measure and vindicate his
course. This he did at some length, employing
the programme of argumentation with which our
readers are already familiar, and which, for that
reason, we will not reproduce. The threatened
attempt of the Black Republicans to ignore the
restriction in the Conference Bdl and to bring
Kansas into the Union under anew Constitution
without the required population, in defiance ot its
explicit pledges and provisions, he annoqpeed his
determination to oppose. In relation thereto he
says:
“ it would be an indignity to the South, little
less in magnitude than the rejection of a Slave
State. Gov. Denver may not convene the Legis
lature. If so, a Constitution can not well be got
ten up regularly for the next Session, as the Legis
turedoes not hold its regular Session til! January.
1 am sure no such irregular Constitution as the
Topeka will be accepted. lienee the application
may not be made this Session. If it is, or a Bill
to repeal the restriction should be ioiroduced. the
member who votes to repeal it, having voted for
the restriction last winter, deserves the execration
of the entire country. I will vote with the friends
of the Bill against the repeal at any time. And
I will cheerfully support a general law to the same
effect.” The course of the President last winter,
after the dismisal of Walker, lie fully endorsed.
He also spoke in commendation of his policy and
action on the' 4 right of search” question and the
Mormon troubles. In respect to the contest in Il
linois, considering that the choice must ultimately
be between Douglas and a Black Republican, lie
takes the position advocated by several presses in
tlie South, and is in favor of the election of the
former. He considers that the election of a Black
Republican President would evince such a deep
rooted and relentless determination on the part of
the North to oppress and degrade us, as would
make it incompatible with the dignity and’ safety
of the South to remain in the Union after that
event.£jlle differs reluctantly, but radically, with
Senator Hammond on the question of a distinction
between “ States Rights” and “ National Demo
crats.” National Democrats, he says, look to
National parties and the General Government for
the protection of the rights of the people and the
States--otates Rights Democrats look to the
Statos themselves. He thinks, nevertheless, that
we should continue to act with the National De
mocracy, so long as we can, for the following
leasons:
“ The two great parties are becoming daily
more sectional. Among the Northern Dem
ocrats there are many tried and true men to the
Constitution and the rights of the South. Such
men should be “grappled” to us “with hooks of
steel.” The others are nearer to us than the
enemy. Having failed to secede alone in 1852,
we should now net with the States Rights par
ties in the other Southern States, among whom
are to be found as strong States Rights men as
there are in this Slate. They act with the Dem
ocratic party. We will thus more readily secure
the proper coueert when the occasion arises lb r
the States to interpose their sovereignty (or the
protection of their rights. The Democratic party
is now chiefly in the South, only three large
Northen States at the last Presidental election
having voted lor a Democratic candidate. The
States Rights element in the Southern Democratic
parly is a strong and growing element, and if we
can ever preserve our rights in the Union it must
he by that element’s controlling the Democratic
party of the country. If we fail to preserve our
rights in the Union, and are constrained to try it
out, we will the better accomplish that end by
now making common causo with those who feel
and act with us.
1 therefore think our true policy is to meet them
in Convention, but would recommend in doing so,
that we should not compromise a single States
Rights principle. If the element adverse to the
rights of the States should prevail again, as it
once did, we could but return to the attitude wo
then occupied.”
Several letters were read at the meeting from
distinguished gentlemen, in some of which views
were expressed differing essentially with those en
tertained by Mr. Bonhan, but chiefly in regard to
the policy of receiving Douglas and of co-oper
ating with the National Democracy in the next
Democratic Convention. The lighter and. per
haps to many, more agreeable festivities of the
occasion we have not the space to notice.
Syracuse Conventions— -Republicans
and Americans.
The two Conventions which sat at Syracusoin
New York, on Thursday, (Sept. Bth) composed
respectively of the Black-Republican and Ameri
can patties, will have an influence directly or indi
rectly upon the politics of the whole Country.
Both Conventions assembled on the same day
for the avowed purpose of a fusion of all the dis
cordant elements to the democracy, upon a com
mon platform and a ticket lor State officers.—
I rom a careful perusal of the proceedings of both
Conventions, we are led irresistibly to the conclu
sion that the Black Republican Convention treat
ed the American Convention badly.
We relate the cireumctauces to our readers
knowing that it canuot fail to interest them, as it
will have a bearing upon the political questions
which are soon to be discussed in our State.
A committee ol Conference was appointed bv
the two Conventions to agree upon a common j
platform, composed ot eight delegates from each j
body. They met and Gen. Nye, as chairman of
the Black Republican committee, made the follow
ing report as agreed upon by the two committees,
two members of the Republican Committee dissen
ting only, to-wit :
‘‘That the two committees had met and j
compared judgments, and find a union on
the question of slavery, and that we are oppos
ed to its extension in the Territories of the Unit:d
states, and that each State has the supreme, un
controlled and exclusive pow er to decide for itself ;
whether slavery shall cea j or continue within
its limits ; that we agree upon the necessity of es
tablishing a registry Jaw of some kind in this !
State, to prevent fraud s upon the ballot; that the
recent frauds committed in this State uuder the )
naturalization Jaws,induce us to believe that it is !
important that the time should be extended Ire- I
tween the naturalization and the right to vote as
now provided by the Constitution, and tnat the
time be extended as long as required of a non
indent of this State; that we mutually agree that
it is our duty to unite our energies and efforts to
defeat our common enemy, the pro-slavery party.
Upon the consideration of this report by the
Republican Convention, Mr. Upham in behalf of
himself and another member of the Conference
Committee, stated the grounds of his objection to
the report—that he had offered the following reso
lutiou which had been reacted by the American
Committee, to-wit:
‘‘That the dicta of the Supreme Court in the
Dred Scott decision, deepens the obligf.tions rest
ing on us to oppose the extension of slavery, and
i affirming the powers of Congress to exclude sla
very from the territories at their discretion.”
I Another gentleman objected to the report, “be
cause it was proposed that citizens of loreign birth
j should be submitted to penalties to which native
| born men are not eubjected-that the proposition was
’ too clearly unconstitutional.” Gen. Nye stated
j “that he would yield to no man in fidelity to all
! Republican principles”—that he considered the
resolution rejected by the Americans, contained a
sermon in prayer—that it was all covered by the
resolution opposing the extension of slavery in
j the territories, which was adopted in the face of
! the dicta of the Supreme Court.” He did not
! understand the Americans‘to be opposed to the
resolution offered by Mr. f pham,” but they were
not willing to adopt it as it was.”
The report of the Conference Committee was
then referred to the Committee on Resolutions,
which was a virtual rejection. Alter which, they
proceeded to nominate a candidate for Governor.
Mr. E. D. Morgan received the highest number of
votes for Governor, and Mr. Robert Campbell for
Lieutenant Governor, and they were proclaimed
the nominees. In the meantime the report was
received by the American Convention, but on
hearing the action of the Black Republican Con
vention, which they considered “unfair,” they re
solved not to fill up the balance of the ticket as
requested by the Republicans, but went to woik on
their own accord and nominated a thorough Ame
rican ticket. Mr. Lorenzo Burrows is their can
didate for Governor and Nathaniel S- Benton tor
Lieutenant Governor. Thus it will be seen that
the anticipated coalition between these two parties
is not effected, although thero is a perleet harmo
ny of view's in relation to the question of slavery
jn the territories.
The Ladies—Warm Springs
A gentleman, who has been recently at the
Warm Springs, in a letter to the Savannah Re
publican, pays the following tubule to the ladies
of Columbus .•
‘‘Perhaps you will expect me to say a word about
the la(iie3 here. Know then, that in numbers,
beauty, and the artistic finish of their toilets, the
Columbus ladies bear the palm—and that beyond
dispute. This is no small praise—since there have
been here ladies from Mobile, Montgomery, the
country circumjacent, and from other pointsof un
questioned taste in dress, of line manners and good
looks. 1 think that Columbus has furnired at
least twenty ladies during the season, any one of
whom is so beautiful or handsome as to be notice
able. You will be surprised to be assured, per
haps, that, taken as a whole, the costumes are
more elegant, batter put on, and better worn here
than at Saratoga. They have a morning dress, a
dress for dinner and one for the ball room —each
complete in itself—with a frequency in changing
them as refreshing to look at, as it must be alarm
ing to the pockets of papas and husbands. I as
sure you that the old State has no reason to be
ashamed of her daughters—and I must add, that
I have not seen one woman here this reason who
could be deemed at all ‘fast. ’ ”
The writer also pays a deserved compliment to
the gentlemanly and entertaining proprietor, Mr-
Davis, and evinces a keen appreciation of the
amenities of “the Springs” both gastronomical and
social-

The Crops.
Accounts from the cotton crop are worse
and worse. The worm, the rot and the rust
continue their work of destruction. Many
planters assure us that they will not make
a half crop, and we have heard of none who
count on an average crop. We think that
the present cotton crop of Marengo cannot
possibly yield more than half an average
crop. —Marengo Jeffersonian , Sept. 1.
We learn from planters from different
parts of the county, that tlie rust continues
to spread in the cotton, and that the crop is
likely to be seriously shortened by it. An
intelligent planter informed us this week
that lie thought there would he very little
cotton made except from the bolls already |
grown. Should this be the case, the crop
in this region will fall short more than one
half.— Talladega Watchtower, Sept 1.
Wagahootee, East Florida, Septem
ber 6.—Blighting rust is spreading fearfully
over our cotton fields. Should it continue
at the same ratio for the next two weeks,
that it has in the last three, the consequen
ces will be very serious, and an average
crop cannot be gathered, There are but
few bags as yet picked by any planter, ow
ing to the heavy rains that have fallen for
many days past. It needs no addition of
caterpillar to make the crop a light one in
this section. Farmers begin to look blue ;
not more than half the bagging ordered will
be needed tor wrapping up the present
crop. Blight wilts the bolls already matur
ed in a few hours, and so we go (on our
cotton fields) from good,bad, to worse. Cor

The Slavery Debate in Philadelphia.
The Slavery debate between Parson
Brownlow and Rev. Mr. Pryne contin
ued Wednesday evening. * A number of
Southern students were present.
Parson Brownlow said he wished to be
understood as not demolished by Mr.
Pryne’s rejoinder. He would soon crirck
his armor by holding up the Scriptures. It
was not to be expected that he (Brownlow)
in opening tlfe debate should treat upon
the whole subject, but he (Pryne) would
hear enough before the debate was closed.
Parson B. then made copious extracts from
| the Bible, recognising the relations of mas
| tor and slave. He was in favor of treating,
working and whipping slaves well. H?s
quotations from Revelations, recognizing
tlie appearance of a freeman and a bond
man at the last day, created a great sensa
tion and applause. He contended and en
deavored to prove that slavery had brought
more negroes into the church than all the
missionary projects combined; that the in
stitution of slavery was a divine manifesta
tion for christianizing the negro race; that
slavery could only work this improvement,
and therefore its perpetration was, in ac
cordance with the Divine will, necessary to
humanity.
JJjAlluding to Mr. Pry ne’s remark that until
slavery was abolished the Union would
rock, and Southerners be obliged to sleep
with pistols under their pillows, he replied
that Southerners only need fear their ne
groes who possessed, by education, some
of their own spirit. -If the Southerners
only had Yankees te fear they never need
sleep with anything worse under their pil
lows than “spiked gimblets.” But if there
ever was an invasion of the South, and
his opponent was one of the the invaders,
he (Brownlow) would be pleased to know
his regiment that “Greek may meet Greek,”
and have “a tug of war ”
Mr. Pryne followed with a great number
of Scriptural rejoinders.
Parson Brownlow hopes to be able to
speak himself to-morrow evening.
The debate is creating considerable ex
citement.

Since orders have been received at the

visitors have been stopped from coming on

insure completion for the work for which
she is intended at as early a day as posible.
The paying-out machinery and bulk-heads
that were temporarily erected will be taken
out, and every obstruction to prevent the
free circulation of air removed. It has not
yet been decided whether her armament
will be taken in or not. A detachment of

On Saturday last, tlie gas burner in the

(the oxygen it contained) the burner went 1
out When Mr. Roach opened the vault ,
and lighted a match inside, the gas having
filled tlie vault, at once exploded, sending
him and Mr. Gilleland with great violence
to the front end of the room, bursting out
the front doors which had not been open

back door into fragments, which, strange
to Ml, is immediately behind the vault.—
The vault itselfis uninjured.
