THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION.
This important Convention assembled at Nash,
ville on Monday last to deliberate upon the
evils that threaten the people of the South, and
to suggest, ifpossible, a plan by which they may
be averted. It is not plainly indicated what
course the Convention will propose. Should
that body unite upon a course, let it be w hatever
it may, there cannot be a reasonable doubt but
that the convention, composed as it is of some
of the purest patriots and most enlightened states,
men of the South, many of whom have grown
gray in the public service, will prove all pow
erful in controlling the adverse influences now
>1 industriously at work against us. But then on
the other hand, should intestine broils and in
dexible differences ofopinion prevail among our
counsellors, brought together at this critical pe
riod of our history, we apprehend it will result
in the greatest injury ; and by preventing a
change in the past and present policy of the
North, will leave it to work out its purposes
slowly and surely. This eternal postponement
ofour quarrel, which seems to be the chief re
source of many ofour National Representatives,
and most especially of many of the representa
tives of public opinion in Georgia, is the curse
of the Soutli. And it is astonishing we hav e
not long ago detected the badge of the traitor in
this convenient loyalty, which is ever speaking
upon the right side and acting on the wrong one.
Should the Government—should Congress—
should the Northern States, (is ther language,)
dose and so, —should one and all go to such a
ridiculous excess of tyranny—should they,mcre
ly for the sport of seeing how despicable men
may be made, by the amount of imposition they
can be forced to bear, go to such and such a
length,—why then, these degenerate souls will
take into solemn consideration our condition,
and determine if anything should be done, and
ifanything, what. This we can plainly see is
the strategetn now employed by some of the very
cunning tricksters in politics, in this State, who
are, under the present, or under any conceivable
set of circumstances, opposed to a Convention of
the Southern States. And some of them are
using the pretext of opposition to a general Con
vention, because they would have us think they
thought it a disparagement oft lie sovereignty of
the State and the majesty of State Rights, when
they are just as fully prepared to preach submis
sion, and counsel in aid ofour enemies in a State
Convention, as they have been anxious to defeat
the meeting of the Southern Convention. As
we intimated, our great fear as to the result of
the Nashville Convention is, that a few of these
dangerous men have crept into that body and by
dissentions which their evil industry will cor'
tainly devise and attempt, so demoralize the ac
tion of the Convention, that its ends will be de
feated more effectually than if they had at first
succeeded in suppressing the call. With this
exception, we think there is not the slightest
probability of miscarriage in the deliberations
and measures of the Convention. For if it be
united, the North will pause—will be overawed,
and we be brought to believe that resistance to
further invasion ofour rights, is probably what
the public sentiment of the South demands—or
if this be too daring a presumption for us, we
will, nevertheless, accustom our minds to think
that some terms should be imposed upon North,
ern aggression. And it will he something to
the heart of the Southern man, disspirited by
the evidences of an abject spirit so plentifully
given of late by the South, that his people will,
at some day, redeem the pledges made in behalf
of their courage and their honor.
This subject of Slavery, now ingrained into
the very essence of our system, is a vast study
which our statesmen would do well to approach
in a far different mood than that of the dema
gogue or party man. It is not to be controlled
like any of those short-lived excitements of the
public mind, which begin and end with the pet
ty necessities of venal men, and the pressure of
mere party exigency. If wo mistake not the
history of the world that is past—ofthe European
World, and our history, all prove, that in regard
to African Slavery Providence has made decrees
that are neither to he gainsayed nor circumvcut-
C| l by man. And we think that those among our
biends who are dreading the sea of troubles that
are to overspread our country from the ultimate
emancipation, either forced or natural, of our
slave population, have not looked upon the ques
tion with that appreciative faith, with which
Christian people should view this matter. It is
bite that we may, by a willful and overweaning
spirit, which would not scruple to set Providence
ri ght if need he, draw many ovils after the train
°l slavery not naturally its concomitants ; but
time will prove that the Yankee is not the strong,
cst for all that. And although it is our duty,
and a very high duty too, to turn the current of
feeling and opinion that is now running power
fully in a bad direction, yet time is to set all this
matter right. If really, as we believe, slavery
is here by the express design cf Heaven, for
some good end, it will go on strengthening and
by a happy reciprocal action, ho a blessing to
'"aster and slave. It cannot be pent up until
b rots out by the pestilence it breeds. If our
negroes are not to have their due proportion of a
virgin soil, that would make their toil lighter or
better rewarded—ifthey as well as their masters
•ire to be swindled out of their share of a domain
tli.it/Aei/ both helped to secure, why they will
only be kept on the old ground until the pres
sure ol each other’s shoulders becomes inconve
nient, and then "the institution ” will have vent.
No doubt of all this. But the object that all the
friends of the South have in view by a speedy
Union ai, d prompt action, is to jircvent much
’bat had far better he avoided than endured.—
" u 'V'sli to ward off evils, and not to be obliged
•o conquer them. And one of those evils is,and
11 18 I’s lor the greatost, that utter extinction of
broUi er |y feeling among all ourpeople, which is
now threatened, and an estrangement that shall
I "no irreparable, and that cun never be healed,
though wo sought to do it with tears. Things
lave tn grow hut very little worse, before this
b but is reached, and what then would this Union
u but a union ofthe bitterest curses of God ?

“ THE SOUTHERN PRESS.”
Whilst we cheerfully give place to the Pros
pectus of this paper, which will be found in ano
ther column, we must confess that we are not of
the number that can see any great advantage as
likely to result from it. In saying this,we are not
opposed to the establishment of the new paper
at Washington, but would, in noting so marked
a feature of the news of the day, give a reason
why we think its friends are to be disappointed.
First then we do not think it demanded by the
necessity ofour case. Cun there be found any
where in this whole land, a more spirited, a
more intellectual, cultivated, or a more faithful
class of men than the editorial corps of the South
ern press. They have not rested day or night,
while the enemy has been at work. To every
vile agency of hypocrisy, sophistry and prejudice
they have opposed with zeal and power, the no
blest exertions of bead and heart, that have left
nothing more to be done. Our cause has not
suffered in their bands, and the world admits
that the argument in our behalf does not need
any further illustration. The points involved
are not doubtful; for long ago, ihey have all been
settled. Our orators and our press have, in a
moral and intellectual point of view, triumphed,
and signally triumphed. The evil with us lias
been the want of a forum. Every thing we say
or that is said for us is intercepted, and never
reaches the audience it would do most good a
mong.
Beginning with the horn book of the little
child, misrepresentations of our character and
our institutions are conveyed through every ve
hicle, to every age, and the light of truth is
veiled from tile popular mind of the North.—
And though Abolitionists have been hopelessly
excluded from our borders for years, they yet as
industriously now, as ever, keep up their lec
tures, their sermons and printed tirades against
us. All this is done upon the sound principle
that there is the spot to give the impulse to a
measure that can always reach us, if from there,
it can be made to reach the Legislature of the
Union.
We admit, and feel bound to say it, that our
party press at Washington have not given us as
effectual service as would have done us full jus
tice, and asis our right. But then that same
spirit of truth compels us to say we are both un
reasonable ami unjust when we blame the con
ductors of the metropolitan press for that. Who
are to blame then ? We ourselves—we, the
Southern tnen, who still insist “at all hazards
and to the last extremity,” that a national organ
ization of parties shall be maintained. Who
can expect a mortal man to discharge acceptably
to North and South the duties of a party editor,
when the North, to a man almost, are united a
gainst our cause and the Soutli ought to a man
to he united for it. And it is rank folly to talk
about tlie slave question at this day not being a
political one, —for it is the germ of at least nine
tenths of all the politics, State and National, of
this people at the present time.
But we were speakingof the new “ Press.”—
Will it circulate at the North, and how is it to
be done,and why will our papers then not cir
culate there too ? If it is to come only here we
arc convinced we hope, and among us there are
many papers moving heaven and earth in our
cause, which papers are to suffer to the full ex
tent of the circulation ofthe “Press.” We have
no confidence in any further appeals cither to
the intelligence or moral sense of the Northern
people. And who can blatnc us for this distrust
or call us uncharitable, when the conduct of her
Church is regarded for a moment. If her doc
tors and teachers, the Lcvites who minister in
holy things, treat us as they have, vvliat hope
can he had of the political riffraff', and of the
tnuili’ude driven on by bigotry and envv ? No,
touch them on their interest and you have com
mand then of their senses, for their pocket is the
seat of the soul. And we say again and again,
any scheme that Southern men shall divine and
propose, that is intended to meet our difficulty
with the North, that is not based on some prac
tical measure affecting the hope of gain and fear
of loss to Northern men, will prove worse than
useless. If some such policy is pursued, we
then may hope to havejusticc at the hands as
well as from the judgements of anti-slavery
men. Then would their dim vision re
ceive help to sec how we have been injured,
from their god of mammon, and they learn to
do justice to us in making a good bargain for
themselves. We are no prophet, nor the son
of one, but we predict this day if anything is ef
fected at the South, and a re-action that results
in anything really good for us takes place. i‘.

The Crops. —From all parts of the cotton
growing region, vve notice great complaints are
being made of the unfavorable appearance of the
cotton, and it is believed that the crop this year
will not much exceed two-thirds of what it pro
bably would have been, had the planting season
been a favorable one.
The wheat crop has also been materially in
jured in places—butcorn generally looks well.
Georgia Sugar Cane. —We learn that Capt.
A. B. Lawron has a field of fifty five acres of
sugar cane, near Albany, Baker county, which
looks beautiful. Capt. L. has other fields equal
ly as promising, and on seventeen acres last year
ho obtained three hundred gallons of syrup per
acre, and sold it at 374 cents per gallon.

Female Institutions of Georgia, 4.c.
Every citizen of our State may justly feel
proud of her otnvard inarch to greatness in beina
provided so liberally for the education of her
fair daughters. The following Female Colleges
stand prominent and are especially worthy of
public support, viz ;
Wesleyan Female College, Macon. —This ex
cellent institution ts now in a prosperous condi
tion, having about one hundred and sixtv pupils,
including those in tile preparatory department
It lias an able and competent Faculty, with the
Rev. Dr Elmson at its bead, who is deservedly
popular,—and under its present organization, a
high destiny in honor and usefulness awaits this
ornament to our city and State.
Madison Collegiate Institute for Young Ladies.
—We learn that this institution has six Teach
ers two males (one of whom is Principal,) and
four females, and one hundred students. An
extensive apparatus, costing one thousand dol
lars, and the cabinet specimens of geology, dec.
will prove highly beneficial to it.
Lagrange Female Seminary. —This institution
lias a Principal and nine Assistants, with one
hundred and forty pupils. It has been in opera
tion about eight years past.
Dalton Female College. —The charter of this
institution was obtained last winter, and we
learn that the large brick building for it is nearly
completed. This institution is to be under the
supervision of the Baptists—and Gen. Duff
Green has offered to make a donation of SIO,OOO
to it, provided the Baptist State Convention of
Georgia will contribute the same amount.
Furman Theological Institute. —The an
nual commencement of this institution will take
place on Friday, 14th inst. The Commence
ment Sermon will be preached by the Rev. H.
A. Duncan, and an address by the Rev. J. R.
Kendrick, of Charleston, (formerly Pastor of
the Baptist Church of this city,) will be deliver
ed before the Rhetorical Society An address
will also be delivered before the Society of Alum
ni, by Rev. A. M. Cartlkdgf., ofFairffeld, and
a Poem before the same, by Rev R Furman, of
Society Ilill, S. C.
Debating Society.— We are pleased to learn
that our industrious Mechanics am endeavoring
to form a Library and Debating Society. This
is a laudable enterprise, which, if successful,
must prove a great benefit to that useful class of
the community, as well as many of the
men ofour city, who would thus have an oppor
tunity of storing their minds with useful infor
mation, and spending their winter evenings pro
fitably, instead of suffering them to pass with
out proper improvement, as we fear lias been
the case too often heretofore. Wherever simi
lar societies have been formed, the most benefi
cial results have followed, and we hope that an
enterprise promising such advantages will not
be suffered to fail for want of adequate support.
Wo wish it abundant success.
Sunday School Celebration. —We learn
that the scholars ofthe different Sunday Schools
in this city and Vineville, purpose celebrating
the Fourth of July next. A procession will be
formed and proceed to the Baptist Church, under
the direction of Washington Poe, Esq., who
has been appointed Marshal of the Dav, where
an address will be delivered. This is a noble
cause, in which every parent should feel a deep
and abiding interest. We anticipate quite an
array of the juveniles of our city, on the occa-
Macon in this respect stands A. No. 1.
Sailed. —The New York Scientific Ameri
can says:—The Advance and the Rescue, the
vessels fitted out by the munificence of Mr.Hen
ry Grinnell, of this city, for the Arctic expedi
tion, in search of Sir John Franklin, sailed last
Friday, at noon, for their destination among the
icebergs and eternal snows of the North.—
These vessels are under the regulations of the
navy, in order to ensure discipline and provide
against desertion. It is hoped, however, that
there will be no necessity of enforcing those
laws, for the brave fellows who volunteered up
on this hazardous service have done so more for
glory than for meaner considerations : and it
was a touching sight to behold those ships
sail down the bay, with the benevolent object
in view of extricating from frozen seas, a man
and brother though of another country and clime,
at the risk of sharing a similar fate themselves.
Since they went away it lias been reported that
Sir John Franklin is safe—but it is doubtful
news.
We give in another column the instructions
given to the commander of the expedition „y the
Secretary of the Navy, which will be read with
interest.
New Kind oe Cotton Bagging. —The South
ern Whig says,“We understand that Col. Mose
ly, a native of this State, and for many years
a resident of Wilkes county, but now an enter
prising citizen of Mississippi, has discovered a
process by which a very superior article of Cot
ton Bagging can be made of the long moss so &.
bundsn* throughout the Southern States. Vv’e
learn that lie is about securing a patent for bis
discovery, and that lie has just returned from
the North, where he has purchased machinery
fora Bagging Factory which heisaboutto estab
lish at or near Jackson Mississippi. If this experi
ment should succeed as well as tlto discoverer
of the process anticipates, it will probably effect
a revolution in the manufacture of this article,
which enters so largely into the annual con
sumption of the planters oftlio South—asdoubt
lessbagging manufactured of this meteriul can
bo furnished much lower,while it is said to be far
superior to any now in use.” We doubt it.
The Cow Pea.— An exchange paper says;
“It is found that the Cow Pea answers every
purpose in Southern culture that the Clover docs
for the North ; as food far the human family
it is preeminently superior, as food for stock, the
peas aro better than corn, and the vine and leaf
fully equal to clover, and as a fertilizer for the
earth it is not surpassed by any plant in cultiva
tion.
[JTWcare pleased to see that the Baptist
Publication Society located at Charleston, S3. C.
are publishing a number of books written by
Southerners.
California for Slavery— The West Ten
nessee Whig, noticing the arrival of a gentle
man in Jackson from the gold mines of Califor
nia says “This gentleman says that not one
man out of ten in California, ever saw the late
Constitution which they have adopted and that
in bis opinion, there is a large majority of the
present population of California in favor of ne
gro slavery. We think this tale very likely; for
thousands and thousands, of those in that State,
are there hunting gold and have no idea ofmak
ing it their home, therefore have taken no trou
ble to inform themselves in regard to the provi
sions of the Constitution of California.”
Balance Due. —lt iscalculated that the val
ue of exports to California, from all the States
on this side of the Rocky Mountains, amount
to s3o,ooo,ooo—the imports of gold dust, in
payment, to sls,ooo,ooo—balance yet due, $35,-
000,0(10. If this should not be paid in nine
Months, won’t there be some smashing r
American Needle Manufacture. —The
only Needle Factory in operation in the United
States is at Newark, N. J. It is owned by Mr.
Wm. Essex, an Englishman, who has establish,
cd himself in New Jersy. The manufacture is
said to be prosecuted upon the same principle,
w ith the same facility and of equal quality with
needles made by' the celebrated R, Deminings
&. Sons, of Reddich, Eng.
Hon. F. H. Elmore. —The death of this dis
tinguished Senator from Soutli Carolina, was an
nounced in the Senate at Washington, on the
30th ult., by liis colleague, Senator Butler,
who, together with Messrs. Webster, Davis,
andYuLEE, of the Senate, and Woodward of
the House of Representatives, passed deserved
compliments to the character of the deceased
and the customary resolutions were adopted.
Mr. Elmore was some years ago a prominent
member of Congress though at that time a young
man. He afterwards was elected President of
the Bank of the State of South Carolina, which
office he ably filled until his recent appointment
to fill the vacancy of the lamented Calhoun.—
His philanthropic disposition, lofty genius and
excellent inoral character, eminently qualified
him to represent his gallant State and till the
vacancy occasioned bv the decease of his illus
trious predecessor. 11 is remains left Washing
ton on the 4th inst. for their final resting place
in South Carolina.

“ The Southern Press.* 8
VN Association of sixty-three Members of
Congress, Senators and Representatives,
have constituted the undersigned a Committee
tosuperiutend the establishment of a Southern
Press at Washington City, to be devoted to the
exposition and defence of Southern Rights and
institutions—the dissemination of correct infor
mation as to Northern Policy, and the course of
Political Affairs generally, without reference to
the old party lines of Whig and Democrat. Ar
rangements are now in progress, proinptlv to in
sure the issue of such a paper under tlie title of
“THE SOUTHERN PRESS,”
lor the conduct of which, suitable Editors have
been engaged, who will also receive the aid of
a number of eminent and able contributors.
There will be both a Tri- Weekly and a Weekly
issue—the latter to contain substantially the
same matter as the former, and intended to reacli
those points of the country whose mail facilities
are limited.
A Daily issue will be added hereafter, should
it be deemed advisable or necessary by the press
and people of the Southern States.
The paper will not be exclusively political—
but will embrace on its broad sheet the General
News ofthe day, Domestic and Foreign, by mail
and telegraph ; Commercial and Agricultural
Intelligence, Literary Criticisms, Original Es
say s, Literary and Miscellaneous ; and, in short,
all those items of general interest, the collected
aggregate of which constitutes tlie interesting

taken to give lull and correct Reports of the
Proceedings and Debates in both Houses ofCon
gress, as well us the action of the local Legisla
tures on the Southern question.
A limited number only of Advertisements will
be received—the main object being to furnish a
large amount of reading matter.
The paper will be printed on a sheet equal in
size to those of the other Washington papers,
and the material will be procured especially for
the purpose.
It is confidently hoped that every true friend
to the South will aid in procuring subscribers,
and forward the names, with the amount sub
scribed, to some Southern Representative at
Washington, forthwith.
Postmasters are authorized by law to remit
subscriptions free of postage.
