[for the southern tribune ] “ Step innor.ency, and lay hold on the thing that is right; for that will bring a man peace at the last.” «r D. POSTELL. 1. Keep thy heart clear ; if passion’s cloud A season, darkens o’er thy life, Strive to dissipate it ; ceaseless strive ; Remember, ’tis a holy strife ! No battle yet was ever won, Without some latent doubt or fear ; But still tbe word was “on, still on Strive for success—do not despair. 2. Keep thy heart pure ; let innocence Make its abiding place therein ; Let thy mind cherish all that’s good ; Though prone, alas ! too prone to sin : But like the flow’r that in the shade Blooms, unobserv’d by passing eye, In dying e’en, its seems to fade, Returning to its genial sky. 3. Keep thy heart strong; uphold the right, And guard it with the strength of love ; In all thy life ; e’en to the last, A shield of safety it will prove. And like a balm that soothes the pain, Inflicted by the poison’d dart, It will be, in thy being's wane, Soothing and cheering to the heart. 43 o 1111 c n l. From the Southern Press. Tlic New Pandora’s Box. 'i he doctrine of squatter-sovereignty, as recently expounded and practically en forced in California, and the precedent thus afforded, seem destinedtobe the fruit ful fountains of troubles and dangers as numerous as those contained in the box of Pandora, vxithout the cheering apparition of hope at the bottom. In tbis age and country of ours, the event of to day be comes tbe precedent of to-morrow with a rapidity that confounds all calculations based on a previously existing order of things, and the auguries to be drawn from the latest developements are most inauspi cious fur tk« permanent establishment of peace and harmony,or tbe exercise ofeven handed justice. Ihe fatal celcritv with which u new precedent is followed, and any exercise of what is deemed thcpopu lar u-ill aiux'xna the authority of a binding law, (at least in the opinion of certain po liticians,) is exemplified jn tbe late action of “The People” of New Mexico. 1* ull of warning as tbe whole course pursued in California bad been, and preg nant as it was with important results. it was scarcely to be imagined that a repiti fion of that novel experiment would he tried on anew field before tbe first plot bad been fully consummated,and one gross violation of the Constitution, and bold as sumption of undelegated powers unsanc tioned by Congress or tbe country, be tri umphantly paraded as a precedent to jus tify a second act of kindred character, if possible, more flagrant than the first. Yet such is the case with regard to the attempt to manufacture a State, by tbis short, and easy process of proclamation, out of New Mexico; and intelligent edi tors, (aye, and Senators.) are found hotly advocating the instantaneous recognition of the new State, and gravely contending that New Mexico has tbe same undoubted right to come into the bonds of the Union as her young sister California, who, in Mr. Clay’s expressive words: “cocks up her uose and refuses to association with the girls,” New Mexico and Utah. This se cond triumph of the California proviso has put its friends and supporters in high glee. It satisfies ihem that it is the genuine Old Jacob Townsend after all, “extracting the valuable properties of tbe root by a secret process,” instead of being a“sour fermen ting compound” like tbe young I) ctor's —tbe original Wilmof. “We, the people” of New Mexico, that is tbe colonel, of tbe United States Army,a Quartermaster, and a few individuals in Santa Fe, have cut the gordian knot which so many busy fin gers here have been fumbling at: and in close imitation of the California precedent, slipped their necks into the halter of Free- Soilers, and present their State for imme diate admission, on grounds as good as those on which California bases her appli cation. It was wel! said by Mr. Butler in the Senate tbe other day, that there was no difference in tho principle regulating the mode and manner of application; that both of these pretended popular move ments for the establishment of State gov ernments were utterly null and void, equal ly gross end palpable infringements of the Constitution and the rights of the South. And yet, gentlemen high in position and in the public confidence can got up in the Senate, and gravely advocate the one out rage, while in the same breath they repu diate and denounce the other-—see clearly through the flimsy veil of sovereignty claimed in the one case ; while with the other it is made a cloak capacious enough to cover any multitude of sins. Statesmen cannot ho /expected always to be consistent; for to insist upon that, MACON, (GA.,) SATURDAY AFTERNOON, JULY 20, 1850. would be claiming more from the infirmi ties of human nature, and the fallibility of human judgement, than could be asked; but they should at least be consistent in applying tbe same rule to cases identical ly the same, at tbe same moment of time. Applying this rule, we cannot see why those eagerly embrace California, with all her notorious irregulai ity of conduct,should turn the cold shoulder on her sister, who has followed in her footsteps, sues more humbly, and has waited more patiently, for tbe small boon of two Senators and a Representative, as well as all the privi leges pettaining to a State. What constitutes the difference bet ween tbe two applications? Is it the difference of population ? We can approximate as nearly to that ol the one as of the other; both being involved in a glorious uncer tainty. Is it the modus operand! ? In both it was essentially the same. The New Mex ican Convention will assemble under tbe same authoiity, aud will register its edicts under tbe same sanction, and probably, give fully as fair a reflex of the real will of tbe inhabitants of the Territory as that of its exemplar. Mr. Cass, ;t seems to us, was not par ticularly happy in his attempts at defining tbe distinction between tbe eases; and Mr. Seward certainly bad him at a disad vantage in the argument on the subject. Granting the first postulate, making valid the first proposition, the conclusion seems to us to follow as a matter of course, and a mental ait -line only divides the two cases. We cannot, therefore, deny that tbe course of those who claim the precedent of California as in all respects applicable to New Mexico, is consistent, and their conclusion legitimate; they are parallel cases throughout; tbe one a daguerreo type of tbe other. But does it therefore follow that both, or either,should be ad mitted ? We have yet to learn that two wrongs ever made a right, and that even passive acquiescence, or submission to one great outrage, legalizes or authorizes a repeti tion of it. It certainly encourages it; but can any number of precedents givea new construction to the Constitution, and new powers to “tbe people,” accidentally con gregated for a time at any given point of tbe public domain of tbe United States? At any other previous period of our na tional history the answers to these ques tions would have been self-evident; but in those days of political new-lights, as bril liant and as difficult to catch as Pain’s gass light, there is no knowing what responses will come from political doctors, or how far leading men will “Compound for sins tlioy are inclined to, By damning those they have no mind to," How long Utah will hesitate to follow the example set her no one can doubt.— Possibly she has already in conformity with some orders, suggestions or hints, either by authoiity or otherwise, coming from persons clothed with powers unknown to the Constitution, and irresponsible to pub lic opinion or to Congress, taken the pre liminary steps and prepared to join her sisterhood in knocking at the doors of Congress. The same solemn farce, so successfully played out iti California and New Mexico, may even now be in pro gress of re-enactment; for tbe letter from Santa Fe, published by us on Monday last, shows how few persons, bow lit! le pains or preparation, and what a small amount of ingenuity it takes to constitute a State un der this new dispensation. All that it requites is the presence ofan United States’ officer on tbe spot to stand sponsor for the Proclamation—a few sig nificant intimations from the head quarters that tbe wishes of tbe people are to be respected if they should desire to form a State government —the congregation of a few persons in what by courtesy is called a Convention —and the andoption, by this irregular and irresponsible body, of a Con stitution with the proviso inserted. These are all the appliances needed to rehearse what looks like a broad burlesque, a fool ish farce, but threatening to terminate in the saddest tragedy. There are bounds to all human patience; there 3ie limits to all endurance ; and this game has already been pushed too far. It is time that the reign of law and older, and strict observance of the Constitution,should be restored. Public McefiiiK in Macon. In compliance with a previous call, nu merously signed, a large and enthusiastic number of friends of tbe Senate’s plan for the adjustment of tbe Slavery and Ter ritorial questions, met at the Court House in tbis city on tbe Gib inst., when on mo tion of James A. Nisbet, Esq. the meeting was organised by appointing the Hon A. H. Chappell, President ; Hon. Washing ton Poe, Hon. C. B. Cole and Joseph Bond, Esq., Vice Presidents, and Thurs ton R. Bloom and Sairmel Hall, Secreta ries. Tho meeting being thus organized and its object having been explained by the President, upon motion of Col. John B. Lamar, the following Committee of Twen ty-three, was appointed by tbe President to prepare business for tbe action of tbe meeting, viz : John B- Lamar, S. T. Chapman. Thad deusG. Holt, W. K. De Graflenreid, A.P. Powers, Robert Findlay, James Ron, J. VV. Armstrong, 0. A. Kilt;, James A. Nia* bet, Isaac Scott, Albert Mix, John L Jones, J. J. Gresham, J. H. R. Washing ton, L. F. VV. Andrews, James B. Ayres, O. G. Sparks, Robert Collins, Win. B Johnston, O. H. Prince, L. O. Reynolds, Anderson Comer. The Committee having retired f>r a short time returned with the following re port and resolutions. Ou r coming togelhet to night.has for its object, nil political agitation. We are at tracted here by considerations which rise above tbe ephemeral contests of patty, and involve the Union of States.tbe peace of the country, and thp stability of Republic an institutions. Believing tbe country to be in danger, we feel it our duty to speak out. We are alarmed at tbe protracted strug gle, daily becoming inure complicated, in the Halls of Congress, on the Slavery question. It is a struggle of opposing ele ments, racking and jarring the whole frame work of our government, in such a way as to threaten its dissolution. During this long continued strife in Congress, our convictions of light, and our sympathies, have been and continue to be with the friends of Clay’s Compro mise, which was reported by a committee of the Senate, as a peace-offering laid on the altar of the Union. Resisted by fanatics, and pressed oa every side by power, the friends of this Compromise ate strggling nobly so save tbe Constitution and the U nion. The benedictions of the people await them as peace makers, for so it is ordained by holy writ. If successful, they give n new lease of life to the repub lic. And if they fail, each one of them may exclaim like his great prototype of old “If Rome perishes, I am innocent.” Wei •egard this plan now under discus sion in the Senate, as being better than any other, there is the least prospect of obtaining. Because it saves tbe honor of the South by repudiating tbe Wilrnot Pro viso. Because it will prevent the admis sion of New Mexico as a Sta'e, now about to present herself, with a constitution in hibiting] slavery. Because it will pre vent a bloody conflict between Texas and New Mexico, to which tbe Govcrnmet, as well as other States of tbe Confederacy may become parties. And because we want peace to be restored to the public mind and tiie public councils. The Mis souri Compromise, as a [dan of settlement of the slavery issues, could it be adopted, would meet with our cordial acquiescence. But the decisive vote in the United States Senate, on Mr. Soule’s substitute, forbids all hope of the adoption of the Missouri Compromise line by Congress. We therefore are compelled to choose either the Clay Compromise, the Execu tive plan, or Anarchy and Revolution. We are willing to take the first. We feel no disposition to put unchari table constructions on the motives of those, who zealously oppose and denounce the Senate Compromise, and perseveringly adhere to the Missouri Compromise, in full view of tbe imposibility of obtaining the latter, and of the tendency of their course to defeat the former, and all other modes of adjustment. But our apppehen sions are,that such a course tends only to a dissolution of the Union and civil war. And as citizenshaving our all at stake, we pro test against our Representatives in Con gress pursuing it. It is our firm belief, that a very large majority of the people ol Georgia, are for a peaceable settlement of this question, by means of the adoption of tbe Senate Compromise. We therefore, in the exercise of a right inestimable to freemen, desire to send tip our feeble voices, with that great volume of petition and expostulation, now going up from every part of tbis Country to the American Congress. Our prayer is for peace—our wish is for repose—our re monstrance is against needless agitation, and our hope is that the bills now before the United States Senate may soon become laws; especially the one for effecting an adjustment of the territorial controversy. To these ends, Resolved, That tbe measures reported to tbe Senate of the United States, by the Committee of Thirteen, approximate as neat as can be hoped, a fair, honorable anil satisfactory adjustment of all matters in dispute between the slaveholding and non slaveholding States of the Confederacy. And that we commend them to tbe cordial support of tbe Georgia delegation in Con gress, believing as we do, that a large ma jority of the people of Georgia entertain views not dissimilar from those herein ex pressed. Resolved, That as American citizens, xvc are friendly to the continuance of the Union upon the basis of tbe Constitution. And as Southern men, we are most sensi ble, that vast and unlhought of dangers and evils, will spring up from its dissolu tion. Dangers and evils only to be met by such fearful alternatives when tbe peo ple of the non-slaveholding States, or a majority of them, wilfully and deliberately make U P their minds, to disregard tho guaranties of tho Constitution, and tram ple on the rights of this section of the Con federacy. Resolved, That our thanks are due to those men from the non-slaveholding States, xvho, rising above clamor, fanati cism and a vitiated public sentiment at home, have sought to bring their constitu ents back to a sense of their duties, and tbe obligations of good neighborhood, im posed by the Constitution, Aud more es- peciallv do we owe a debt of gratitude to M essrs. Dickinson, Cass. Clay, Webster, Bright, Sturgeon, Whitcomb, Dodge of lowa, and Jones, of tbe United States Senate, for that high-toned aud liberal course towaul tbe South, during the pre sent session of Congress, which ha3 “grap pled them to our hearts, with hooks of steel.” Resolved. That we respectfully suggest to all friends of the Uuion and those favor able to a peaceable and honorable settle ment of the slavery question, by means of the adoption by Congress of the Compro mise of the Senate Committee, to hold meetings in their respective counties and speak their sentiments. To remain silent at such a time as this, is dangerous and criminal. llcsolicd, That a copy of the foregoing preamble and Resolutions, be forwarded by the Secretary, to each of our Senators anil Repiesentalives in Congress. During the l eading of tho Report and Resolutions there were marked signs of approbation, which burst out into open and loud applause at the enunciation of the resolution tendering the thanks of the meeting to Messrs. Dickinson, Clay, Cass, Webster and others. Pending the Report and Resolutions, the meeting was address ed by Hori. Washington Poe and the Hon. A. H. Chappell. When on motion, the Report and Resolutions were unauinjously adopted. Upon motion, it was Resolved, That the proceedings of the meeting be published, The meeting then adjourned. ABSALOM H. CHAPPELL, Pres’t. WASHINGTON POE,') CARL ETON B.COLE, l V.Pres’ts JOSEPH BOND, J Thurston R. Bloom, \ & . . 4- t r > Secretaries, Samuel Hall, 1 From the Augusta Republic. Southern Bights meeting. Avery large and respectable meeting of the citizens of Richmond county, agreeably to previous notice assembled at the City Hall, on the evening of tbe 4th, to consider the proceedings of the Nashville Con vetion. On motion of John Phinizy, Sr., Esq., Martin M, Dye, Esq., and Dr. I P. Garvin, were called to preside, and Jno. C. Snead and ( leo. G. McWhorter, Esqs., wore re quested to act as Secretaries. After the object of the meeting was an nounced by one of tbe presiding officers, it was addressed in a very eloquent and spirited manner, by Andrew H. H. Daw son, Esq., one of the Delegates to the Nashville Convention from the Bth Con gressional District. The absence of Dr. McWhorter, the other Delegate, was ex cused to the meeting, on account of his continued ill health. Tbe largo court room of the City Hall was crowded almost to suffocation, and the passages and yard were filled with persons, who could not gain an entrance. Many ladies graced the meeting with their pre sence, James M. Smytbe, Esq., being called upon by the meeting to address it, excused himself on account of the great heat of the room and the continued detention of tbe ladies within and without tbe Hall, in so unpleasant a situation. He proceeded, however, after a few prefatory remarks, to move the following Resolutions, approving of the proceedings of the Convention at Nashville, which were passed almost unanimously—but a single voice in the negative being heard by tbe assembly at large, and only one or two other voices, in a low tone, being said to be heard by those in their immediate neighborhood. 1. Resolved, That vve cordially approve of the zeal, fidelity, and ability,with which the delegates of Georgia maintained the rights and honor oftheStateand the South, in the Southern Convention. 2 Resolved, That tho address and resolutions of the Convention, embodying, as they do, impregnable arguments and constitutional principles, elicit our highest approbation; and that we will cheerfully, warmly and determinately sustain tbe con clusions at which it arrived. 3 Resolved, That tbe so-called Com promise of the Committee of Thirteen, whether in its support of thefrauduent ad mission of California into the Union, or its abolition of the slave trade in the Dis trict of Columbia, or its fugitive slave hill, so arranged as to invade tbe sovereignty of the States by legislation upon the sub ject of Slavery within their limits—or its deceptive schemes of establishing tei ritoii al governments for Utah and New Mex ico, with a nominal exclusion of the Wil mot Proviso, but its practical application to tbe territories, or its unblusbingsacrifice ofSouthern political power, in proposing the monstrous scheme of appropriating a large sum of money, say ten or fifteen millions of dollars, to purchase of tbeslave Slate of Texas 125,000 square miles of her territory to add it to New Mexico and incrcase.by false pretences the anti-slavery poxvcr of the country, ought not to receive the sanction of the people, whose rights, whose sovereignty, whose honor, and whose safety will be involved in its con summation and adoption. 4. Resolved, That the policy of Gen. Taylor, in admitting California and New Mexico into the Union at once, and the other territory as soon as possible, exhibits an utter disregard of precedent, justice, equal and costitutional rights, and tho BOOK AND JOS PRINTING, " TFi// be ezesutfd in the most approved styh and on the best terms,at the Office of the SCTJTEEFvIT THIBTJITE -BY WM. B. HARRISON. future prosperity and security of the South and deseivcs to receive the resolute an<j scornful opposition of eveiy friend of tht» South. 5. Resolved, That the Rio Grande, fiorrj its tnouth to its source, is the western bour.daiy of Texas, to which she has a perfect chain of title, and any act of the government of ihe U. States, in aid of New Mexico, in her preposterous preteu T sinus to portions of Texan Territory East of that river, xvould be an outrage upon the sovereignty of Texas, and, on the pait of said government, a faithless act of tyranny. 6. Resolved, That we have seen, with mingled surprise and indignation,the step* which have been taken by proclamation of Cul. Monroe at Santa Fa. and sulusaquant proceedings. to dismember Texas by violence, and establish a State constitution (preparatory to admission into the Union) for tbe people of New Mexico, when there are not fifteen hundred American citizens in the whole territory, and the other inhabitants are a mongrel mixture of several races, so debased in ignorance, stupidity and vice, as to be utterly unpre pared to take position as a Stale jp pup federal Union. T. Resolved, That in this new difficulty between New Mexico and the Adminis tation on the one hand, and Texas on the other, our sympatdies arc warmly enlisted in favor of Texas by every regard which should be had for light, justice, and the good faith of the United States. 8. Resolved, That the act of Col. Mon roe, xvhether perpetrated by bis own will, or under orders from those in authority at Washington, is an outrage and insult, not alone to Texas, but to the whole South and should be resisted by both in com mon, 9. Resolved, That the North has wrong ed the South without excuse or justifica tion, and exhibiting as yet no disposition to relax her aggressions, the latter owes it to her honor,and her safety to resist them now. “at all hag aids, and to the last ex tremity.” NUMBER 28. 10. Resolved, That for the sake of tho Union and as an oblation upon its altar to procure peace and reconciliation between the North and the South, notwithstanding we believe the Missouri compromise was a great concession on the part of the South, still we would meet tho North upon that lino, with a distinct understanding that slavery should have a freo and unmolest ed admission to the territory South of it, 11. Resolved, That as a means of arous ing the people of the South to a full sense of their danger, and of protecting their rights, Associations or Clubs should ba formed in every county of the State and tbe South, for tbe purpose of procuring unity of action and disseminating light among the people. On motion of John Phinizy, Jr., Esq., Resolved, That tbis meeting adjourn to meet on next Saturday week, for the pur poses mentioned in tne last Resolution { and that the city papers be requested to publish the proceedings of tbis meeting, I.

Beauty, without modesty,fails to charm. Many a lady with a handsome face, fails to receive the homage of admiration, be cause she either does not “get the lady,” or overacts it j while a plain face and be coming manners, prove infinitely more at tractive. Be at peace with mankind, but at war with all their vices. The best cure for hard times is to cheat tbe doctor, by being temperate; the law yer by keeping out of debt; the dema gogue by voting for honest men; and pov erty by being industrious. Let tbe young be spared from sorrow as much as possible. Never dim the sunshine of hope and joy, so os to leave them with out even the memory of its glory. Odours—the siient voice of nature, made audible by the nose. Spoons and skimmers you can make fie undistinguishably together, but vases and statues require eacli a pedestal for itself. Nooratot can measure in effect with him who can give good nicknames. Vices, like shadows toxvards the eve ning of life grow great and monstrous. Flowers have not unfrequently been found buried beneath the snow; but it is cold digging for them and fexv care to take the trouble. Men become as strongly attached to others by tbe benefits they render as by tho fovors they receive. Sown thoughts grow to things, and fill that field, the world. Every man ought to aim at eminence, not by pulling others down, bnt raising himself; and enjoy the pleasure of bis own superiority, xvhether imaginary ojr real, xvithout interrupting others in tho same felicity. The Press,-the steam engine of moral poxver, which, directed by the spirit of the age, will certainly crush imposture, super stition and tyranny.
