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 liable geologist by the several StuteH, would greatly lacilitate the developeinent of the na tional resources of the South, and be of cssen. 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 published In pamphlet form and lie distributed under the supervision of n special committee. Resolved, That the members of the Con vention be called upon for .contributions to de fray the expenses of publication Ac. Referred to the commltteiTon business. 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 say to the North,and to tbe whole world, thut Afi..L_ - . , a a * = -^ • South „ lug her institutions, as the North claimed the right to extend theirs. The North hod derived sorqi twenty or thirty ouuti .(Son *of the^sSJect at I «.4rf^ltHid, of Texas, believed hecould say, that ilieTealings of the. people, of Texas wero iu aocordtnce with the strongest sentiments expressed here in’ reVpect to the Institution or kUt*ry.''

Va.. calledlfof the veto upou the qBHR9ft by States. A recess of twenty-five minutes,*** taken; in order to oUow time for consultation among the delegations. V . At the expiration of that time, the con vention was tailed to qrder. , ?ie question being then taken .by States, upon tho motion to take the resolutions from tbo table it resulted as fpllows : In tbe affirmative there were— South Oaroliuu Tennessee Texas Total. 18 votes. In the negative were— Alabama 8 votes. Georgia...: 10 “ Marylaud... 8 “ North Carollnu 10 “ Virginia 15 Tenneseo..., 0 “ Louisiana....... 0 “ Teunesee 0 “ Total.... «7 votes. The motion was accordingly rejected. Mr, Swan of Teun., wheu aunouucing the vote of tnaTTOegation, stated that although they were united in opposition to the resolution it* means of enruling them. Now he was for meeting the question, and If trouble came of it, let ft come, end not leave posterity to meet dif ficulties that should be met uow: When lio read the message of Gov Adams, he.felt.proud that there was ouc sou of’tUe Bdutb whd had bad tho manliness to speak out upou tho suit- joat.

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. (iuhimrd ropliodut hoiiio length to llm argument* of die gimtiemuit from Virginia (Mr. Clemons.) . Mr. Cmihiun, of Ala., said that If he wero not Uiu organ of Lift committee, he would not enter Into this dlmmdou. Tbo first nuostibn was, shall this road bu built or uot?

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 owu words ; Tue issues are with God; lo do Of l ight bolougs U> us'; Justico M mightier tlmn ships— ll!ght than the can null V Inazea lips— stud TiWti. diverting dark eclipse, Mnkes’natlons prosperous, Mr. Baldwin, of Va., asked thut the vote up on tiie indefinite postponement of the resolution lie taken by States.
