At V few minutes part nine o’clock, the Con
vention was called to order.
The President preseuted sundry commani,
cations npon the subjectof education and other
Bnbjecta, which were relerred to the epmmlt-
tee on business.
Also, o communication from the editors of
the Republican, accompanying 600 copies of
the cotton statistics, embracing the period from
the year 1823 to the present time, aud intended
for distribution among the members of the Con
vention.
Hr. Lewis, of Georgia, submitted the fol
lowing resolutions:
Whereas, the deliberations of this convention
partake of a general character, having the good
of the whole fiouth in view, and believingit to
be important for the attainment of the object
songht, that a system of reform or improvement
for the South be adopted: Therefore it is
Resolved, That the style of this convention
be, aud is hereby changed to that of a “Gener
al Southern Reform Convention," and that its
meetings be held annually ou the day of
— or each year; and .that tho place of the
successive meeting be designated at the close
of each session. <-
Resolved) That it be recommended to the
Executives of each of the Southern States to
call a State convention, to be held annually
one month earlier than tho general convention;
and that at such meeting a committee ou each
resolution adopted and recommended by the
general convention, shall be apopinted to urge
upon the people au association for the attain
ment of those ends through the press, by their
personal intercourse and influence, and, if need
be, by petition to the Legislature; and that at
the annual meeting of the State conventions all
improvements or changes which may occur
shall be reported, and then condensed and
reported to the committee of the general con
vention by the committeo appointed for that
purpose.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the
State conventions to take steps to establish
an agricultural school, with a farm attached to
it, on the self-supporting scheme, thus offering
to every wale youth in the State an opportuni
ty to leant the art of farming. scientitially<and
practically, and at the sametime^-'to be fitted
for any station in life be may lie called to oc-
copy.
.Resolved, That it be reppmmeuded to the
Legislature ol each State, to adopt a system of
common Bchool education, by which every
child in the State may receive a common eng*
liih education free, aud with this view, Apoll
tax may be assessed on every man at a rate
that may be rightful ior the poor to fear and
an advolornm tax on all property which uow
pays a State tax, the funds arising therefrom,
to be securely invested, and the interest up-
plied to tbc purpose in view.
Resolved, That it. is the sense of this couven<
tion that the .employment of a good aud re

tlal benefit to the farming interest.
Resolved, That at the close of this session,
the minutes of the convention, together with an
address to the people of tho South, shall be

under the supervision of n special committee.

AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE.
MrjJones, of Guo., moved to tako from tho
tabic tbo resolutions in relation to the re-open**
jug of the African slave trade, which were offer
ed yesterday by Mr. Ganlden, of Geo.
Mr. J. said that he did not consider that those
resolutions had received the consideration they
deserved. He considered it the most impor
tant that could be presented to the South.
The strength of the South was in her cotton
crop; with Hint sceptre she was the most power
ful community on earth. Rut tho Andean slavo'
trade being closed, the South was in danger
of loosing her sceptre of strength and power,
which now wields the commercial world. Ne
groes were worth from $1,000 to $1,500 and
there were ton purchasers to one seller. The
demand exceeds the supply. England raises
something like 200,000 bags of cotton iu India,
and tho only difficulties she meets^ro the short
staple of the cotton iftid the difficulty nr com
Aiding with slave labor. The ‘Hindi crop of
cotton is increasing. If Walker succeeds, as
he hoped ho would, Nirurogua would soon
come in competition with us, and the price of
negroes would soon count by thousands instead
of by hundreds, and tho South would be driven
from tbo market, annd become the weakest of
the weak. He therefore moved that the reso
lution be taken up and, referred to committee
on business.,
M\Spratt, of 8 C, thought the convention
would shirk its duty, if it failed to treat this
matter with tho consideration which it de
serves, and cease to be yliat it was iutended to
be—tho advlsoiy tribunal of tbo South. Con
gress was but tbo organ of the society; the fact
that it imposes restrictions upon the slave trade
proves that, the Government itself bud Inter,
course with foreign countries as a pure democ
racy, while slave society was not represented at
all. It was tho object of this convention to
mijtply that want.
it waa said that they should not approach
this question, for it ftus a grave one. That it
was a grave ono, 1s evident,from tbo fact that it
had met the approbation of many thiuklng
minds of the country, »ud bud been endorsed
by tho Hxicutlvfl bj one of tho South*
urn States. It husbeou 'presented Ijcpvliom
ono or the strongest Staten or the South. If
there were rcaaona why It should not pm this
convention,let them lie rtatod, and not receive
from tbo bauds of this body tho brand that it
was unworthy of uotice. It was wring to sup-
pom that the removal of the restrictions would
necessarily revive the slave trade. Many In
favor of the one might not favor the other*
away If U would rtbet the same purpose. . Let
the South be independent upon that question—
free to legWale upon the sutyeet a* her if
erti might prompt. Let > My ,>C6pg
tbU.is our matter; yob wo hot interested-in it
—arc not pledged from the ma.e considerations
of,interest to pet <pi*pcrly ,wUh ( ) rgard U? iM
your action in regard to it will not necessarily
be so Welt directed aaoura. It was therefore
necessary to repUdW*e‘ the action of Congress
on this matter; while the question of there-
v.vul 6f tho slave trade could be left open for
fhtnre consideration. He seconded the motion
to take up and refer the resolutions!
Mr. Andrew Hunter, ot-Va., did Dot consid
er it competent for this convention, constituted
aa it had been to act upon this question. In
one aspect it was a commercial question, and
had its importance in that relation. But the
question had another bearing of more tremen
dous Importance than any counected with tha
commercial interests of the country. It was a
great moral question upon which the bouth
should ponder long before it placed itaelt in au
attitude of defiance—not to the North alone,
but to the civilised world. He was persuaded,
even if the convention was competent to act
upon tho question, It. ira$not then prepared to
act upon it. The recent recommendation of Gov.
Adams of 8. C., came like a thunder dap in a
calm day upon a large portion at leust of tfTe
South. If It was tobeactej upon at all by
any convention, it should bu only niter time for
calm and deliberate investigation. Let the press
perform its office upou it; let the mutter be
discussed before the people iu all its bearings,
before the subject was brought forward, .aud
they were asked to take a step which must be
attended by such tremendous consequences
either one way or the other as would follow tie
action asked here. It was the sentiment or
many in his quarter of the bouse,tbattoact
upon the matter this year at least would be
premature. Let at least one calendar year be
allowed for its consideration by the public and
by tbe people of tbe South, before any body of
men were called upon to puss upon so grave
question as this.
Mr. Richardson, of Md., regretted exceeding
ly that this subject had been brought before
the convention. They4>nd been told by the
gentlemau from Ga,(Mr.Bethune),ou yesterday,
that all that was necessary to make the South
independent and prosperous, was to repeal the
tariff'. Now another gentleman from Gu., had
proposed another panacea, and they were grave
ly told that the whole strength of the South
lay in her slave labor. Now lie hud thought
that the position of the South aud tiie chivalry
of its people gave it some strength,aud that
their strength did not depend altogether upon
African muscles, and he was uot yet disposed
to believe that sue!) was the case, or that tbe
people of this State would agree to that posi
tion. It was iu Borne sense a commercial mat
ter, but he did not thiuk the couvcntiou was
prepared to advocate a commerce of that
character. Ho did not thiuk the iu iddle of the
19th century was ,prepured for such a com
merce. He thought there had been enough
controversy in the country upon the question of
slavery, aud in the numoof humanity lio trust
ed the fire-brand would uot thrown in their
midst. He was himself a slave-holder, 6ut was
not prepared to go before the Christian world
as the advocate of the advocate of siilve trade
with Africa, lie imped tho mutter would be
suffered to rest quetly ou. the table. He warn
ed the convention that if it was takou up, they
must expect excitement and warmth in that
body, such as he had uo desire to witness.
Mr .Gholsou. of Va., besought members of
tbe convention, not to bring before the 8outh-
ern people, the consideration of a subject which
iu his judgment, so far from advancing the
interests of tbe South, would do more to
strike them down, thau the agitation of uuy
other Butyeot, it was possible for time to cou-
ceive of. , It was too late in the day to go with
the consideration of tbe moral question of the
slave trade, for the whole world stauds oppos
ed to tbe re-opening of that truffle. He believ
ed the South stood more in a position
which was just and proper, but by bringing
before the 8outhern mind tbe other question
about which; there must necessarily be differ
ence of opinion,tlicy would diive from tbo South
the sympathies of thousands who wero willing
at'this time to stand by the 8outh and support
her institutions. Thu ugitatiou of this ques
tion would be viewed by many as au uttacked
upon the Uuion itself and would cast suspicion
upon all their proceedings.
Mfr Mamin: of Ala, said, thut while he cun-
sidereaiT impracticable to enter upon the
question of the restoration of the African slave
trade at present, sentiments had been an
nounced which he did not believe were enter
tained by the great body of the southern people.
He was determined not to permit himsult to
re3t undir the imputation of believing that
sluvery in any of its uspccta was a moral evil.
If it was a proper occasion to discuss the
morality of slavery he would throw down the
gauntlet to the South us well as the North iu
support of slavery. He believed slavery was
founded upou priuciples of immutable truth
desired from the counsels of Heaven and in
tended for the benefit of the African race. He
would vote against taklug the subject from the
table, uot on account of its immorality but upon
the ground of inexperience. 4 *
MfriLunsteinof Va., said that the gentlemen
from Georgia aud 8. CVwould mistake the dis
position of the uorthern portion of tho southern
people if they supposed for a ’ moment that
they would shun to meet this question when
ever, wherever and by whomsoever it .might be
raised. In bis Stato, they believed the insti
tution of slavery to he an ordinance of Clod to
bring the African here to cduoate film to l>c
returned in good time to christianise aud civi
lized the country from which ho came. But lie
was satisfied that the discussion of tiie question
at this time would not bo productive of goud.
They would not be iu session many days longer,
and they had muny more iinportaut questions
to couslder. Ho would therefore vote against
taking the resolutions from the table.
Mr.-Gaiiljlpn. of (loorgia. said us the mover
of the resolutions in question, it was necessary
for him to say a few words, and assevoral gen
tlemen had expressed their opinions, he would
briefly express his. His resolution had been
objected to as ill-timed;, out of doors, it had
been said that it would prejudico Mr. Buchan
an’s administration. He did not think so. He
would ask if upou this question of slavery
the South were right or wrong.
He believed in bis inmost soul that Slavery
was an institution from God, aud there ft
could bo defended. But then this Afrie
slave trade was the great bugaboo to fright
womeu and children—a very Pandora’s box of
evils. Nowr, if that was a great and damning
crime, what worse wa« - it thau whs done every
day in their midst, when they went to Virginia
and took the negru from his home and family,
and brought him to work their rice and cotton
fields'( He thought «.t was straining at a gnat
and swallowing a camel., This question,as a
mutter of vital importance to the South, ; qught
uot to be blinked any longer. If they were right
iu the matter of slavery, uow was the time to

PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Mr. Cochrau, of Ala., from the committee on
business, to which had been referred resolutions
in reference to the construction of a railroad to
the Pacific occau, reported, that they had con
sidered tbe same, and had instructed him to re
mit the followiug resolutions and recommend
heir adoption.
Resolved, That iu tbe opinion of this Conven
tion, tbe federal government possesses uo con
stitutional power to construct a railroad to tbe
Pacific ocean.
Resolved, That a railroad ought to be con*
structed from the Mississippi river byway of
El Paso along, or near tbe 32 deg. of North
latitude of the Pacific Ocean; that this road
should consist of separate and continuous sec
tions; that it should be incoiporated and con
structed under the authority of the State and
Territoriailegislatures; and that the meauH of
construction should be derived from individual,
corporate and State stock contributions,
together with such aid as may be obtained
from grauts of tho public domuiu for portal,
military or any other service which may be
lawfully rend-.-red to tho federal government
by said compauy.
Resolved, That it is hereby recommended to
the Southern and Bouth-wcstern Railroad com
panies, that in tho event any portion of tbe said
road shall remain incomplete or without uu-
thorlty of construction by responsible parties,
they shull obtain an act of incorporation au
thorizing them;or some one or more of them, to
undertake the construction of such incomplete
sections, and this convention hereby invoke for
enterprise of tho construction of said railroad
or any section' thereof, the aid and approval of
all the true citizens of the South, whether iu
private life or public stuliou, for tbe completion
of a work upon which depends greatly the per
manency ot the union, and the defence, de
velopemeut aud independence of the South.
Mr. Jones, of Gu., asked that’ tbe question
bo take n upou tin.* resoulutlons separately.
The question being taken upon the first reso
lution, it was adopted.
Thu question was staled to be upon the se
cond resolution.
Mr. Jones, of Gu., moved to strike out tbc
words together with such aid as may be obtain
ed iroiu grauts of the public domain, for por
tal or military orauy other service which may
be lawfully rendered to the federal government
by said company.
Mr. Balwfn, of Va., usked what States aud
Territories were referred to iu the expression
“incorporated aud constructed by the authori
ty of State dud Territorial legislature. . j
Mr. Cochrane, Those States and TerrijtoriesT
through' which the road muy puss.
Mr. Baldwin, and what States are expected
to give contribution;! ?
Mr. Cochrau, the committee expected Uiut
those States along the lino of railroad and in
the South would be most interested, but they
did not mean to restrict any State from in
vesting their menus in the construction of this
road if they should thinkproper to do ho.
Mr. Haidwiu moved the indefinite postpone
meut of the resolution aud umenduieut. As
a delegate iroiu Virginia, he most earnestly
protested against being committed to any
scheme by which States were culled upon for
contributions to bu Id this road. It wus a gi
gantic scheme, fraught only with mischief, and
ho thuught it was iu violation of the entire poli
cy of Southern politics to call upon the gov
ernments of tho States to undertake any such
work. It was u novo! scheme, sprung upou
the convention without time i'or consideration,
and for that reason, he moved its indefinite
postponement.
Mr Barnwell, of Va, said that as a friend of
tiie South, lie felt it to be bin duty to advocate
such practical measures that would develnue
the power and perpetuate the liberties of tuo
section to which lie belonged. He considered
it important thut this work of internal improve
ment, which was to operate as a conduct to
carry the Institutions aud people of the South
into new aud untrodden regions, should be
built as Boon ns possible. If they acknowledg
ed the power on tho part of the federal govern
ment to construct this road, then it might de
signate tome other route which would carry
Northern institutions and people to their new
regions, and extinguish tiie little power the
South now possessed. The committee there fore
determined that it was unwisete coulide this
work to the General Government, but that it
was bc.'t fur us to prevent that by constructing
it ourselves. It was for the convention to de
termine how far the sources of contributions
indicated could be railed on consistently with
tiie rights aud priuciples of the South. Ho imd
aeeu since lie hud been iu the couveutiou au
act of Louisiana incorporating the Pacific
Railroad, and asking the Sates of tho South to
become corporuUves in the company.
Mr Hubbard, of Ala. said this resolution did
not ask a donation of the General Government,
but merely timt it should nay by grants of lund
for the Increase of value the road would give to
the laud that would remain. He thought that
was nothing more than right.
'Mr/Sherrod Clemens, of Va., said that from
the foundatfon o.tthe'general'government, the
questhm-yti ijra^diapo^Ua^ ( wie public lauds
had been one or the tho&l ul3tmclifi'g questions
that had arisen fordocislou. The first pro
position was to distribute the proccedRathoug
the several States. That had been trieffiittd
given up. The next proposition was to cede tho
lands to the States in which thoy were situated.
The next to graduate their price, uud it w.us
reduced in some iustauceH to 12| cents an
acre. But the most dangerous of ufi tbe pro-
S editions was the one now before the couveu-
on, and which came first from liliuois, Iowa
and other western States; to grant the lands in
aid of the construction of Railroads on the plea
that tiie value of the otbor lands was increased
thereby. lie referred to tho operation of the
ill’s. Geutrul Railroad grout by which private
individuals Imd realized immense fortunes,
while tiie U. 8. had received compaiitlvely
nothing. The liliuois Central. Railroad imd
become a first rate power In tbo.'cputitry, deriv
ing a revenue of tour millions of dollars u.year
from their laud aales. Aud this was hut that
scheme applied lo a different section of tiie
country*, Hu .agreed that territorial Leglsk-
turas hud no power to grant acta'of iuiontom-
thmto Railroad companies, lie thought no
harm would result 1'ram postponing tiie con-
sldcratlou of tliWsUbJect a wlitlo longer.

Mr. Cmihiun, of Ala., said that If he wero

enter Into this dlmmdou. Tbo first nuostibn
was, shall this road bu built or uot? Tho nuxt

the resolution does not ask tbe general govern

the right to make regulations for increasing
the value or-the lands by grants of this
character. •.
Mr. Baldwin, of. Va., asked if the conven
tion whs called upou'to reccomnlend a parti
cular route 1 for the /railroad, us was done iu
this- resolution. He.biuiself wax without the
necessary information to wurraiit him in mak
ing that recommendation, nor was he prepared
to recommend thut corporate bodies or States
should invest u ' “ st - ~ *—•*»—
He was i
because ...- w ,
fraud and corruption. He wa» opposed to the
whole scheme proposed.
Mr Albert J Pike, of Louisiana, was loudly
called for, aud he arose and said that he had
bestowed no thought upon these resolutions,
and bad not intended to make any remarks
upon them. He hud a plan of his own, which
had received tbe sauct.on of the last two con
ventions, aud for which u charter had already
been granted by the Legislature of Lbuisianu.
His plau was to unit^the States, corporations
and individuals of the South, us corporators of
a joiut stock company to build the railroad to
the Pacific. .If tho Geuerul Government built
tiie road, they would build two roads at the
North aud oue at the South. He was for the
South building the road—all the South, States
and individuals, aud nor any ono company.
As to grants of land from Congress, the princi
ple seemed to bo settled that the lands should be
granted for such purpose, aud he would not set
up any constitutional objections he might have,
and rafoso to take the sbare that was justly due
the South. He was willing to recommend to
bis and other States to Jake stock in this road,
He did not care if it never paid one half
cent, if it enabled tbe South to stretch
arms across the continent and grasp Southern
California aud the other Mexican States uow
ready to fail into our hands—thereby controll
ing the commerce of the East Indies and Chi
na with this country and Europe. We would
then remaiu in this Union which wo love so
much; but uuless some sucli steps were taken
to unite the South, to strengthen her and make
her independent of tiie North, the days of this
Uuion wefc numbered.
Ho was no disuuionlst, but merely wanted
to make the South independent and prosper
ous. And he was not afraid to talk of the poli
tical aspect of tho coontry. He did not think
commerce had brought together 800 men here
from different portions of. the South, but the
political conditiou of the cuuutiy, and he was
not afraid to say what he ibought about it.—
They.bad just gone through uu exciting politi
cal contest in which .the existence of tbe Union
itself was put in the scale, and they were uow
able to judge of tho danger that threatened
them. Look at tbe formidable proportions of
tho north. All the New England States had
gone against tiie South. And of the other north
ern States, Pennsylvania hud bmn saved by
butTOOvotCH, Indiana by but a few thousand,
while liliuois had u majority ngaiust their
rights aud interests. He was not for dissolving
tho Uuion, though he believed tho South had
u right to fio so, uud if it was to be settled that
tho fugive slaves compact was to be virtually
null and void at the north, that would
warraut the South in doing ho.
But tbe right to dinolve die Union aud the
policy, of doing so uow, were two diflbrent
tbiugs, what shouid be done when the tbe Uu-
iou was disolved, should be deferred uutll that
deplorable event shouid take place. It were
worse than useless to consider that matter uow.
In the meantime let the Bunth strengthen their
defences, devetope their resources, increase
their prosperity aud forget their intestine fends
and struggles,remeraberiugthnljthough they can
uot expect to be in timiu ij >rtty,yeta strong
and united minority by throwing its weight on
the one side or the other of the contending
parties of the North as policy jind prudence
may dictate, will enable the Bouth for many
years to come to govern t be count vy os they have
heretofore dune.
This convention was a mere advisory body v
but it was not laws that govern a people. Laws
were but the crystalizatiou of ide.is arrived at
maturity in the minds of tho people. He be
lieved thut tlio.se who truly governed were the
dead: the living but obeyed their teachings.—
The spirit of John C. Calhoun governed those
iu thut convention more thau did any living
men.
He hoped the convention would work,do some
thing practical, aud not be led aside to discuss
the dlvcrsitks of politics of Bouth Carolina,
Georgia, Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, or
other States. We are in the Uuion now. We
trusted we should ever remain it. But let ua
act as if, whilo we may remain in it forever, we
may he soon compelled to net out of the Union,
and then we shall have nothing with which to
blame ouraclvus. He said tbut as a poet had a
right to quote himself, 1m would close in his
