End of Act Third.
Political.
From the Columbia Daily South Carolinian.
The late Tonvention of Delegates—its
Composition and its Action.
Whatever was the original intention of those who
were instrumental in invoking this body, the intention
which it has manifested is too clear to be mistaken. —
The address and resolutions were ably and adroitly
drawn, and exhibit the evidence of skillful manage
ment; and while both the resolutions and address an
nul.! and conciliatory, yet it is apparent that the princi
ple intended to be announced is the fact that the year
1852 will witness the secession of South Carolina from
the Union. The world is advertised, as by the report
of the Mercury that of four hundred and thirty dele
gates representing the various Southern Rights
Associations throughout the State, only five were
found dissenting to the positions laid down. This is
certainly remarkable unanimity, and is well calculated
to give the assurance of the early and separate with
drawal of South Carolina from the Confederacy. The
Convention was not satisfied with this powerful demon
stration, by gathering strength from its own momentum,
it declared itself a permanent body, self-created am)
self-existing. This to one disposed to look at matters
calmly, is certainly most wonderful. We propose a
brief analysis of this body, and the motives governing
its action. The object in calling this Convention was
understood to be for the purpose of effecting an in
terchange of sentiment between the Southern Right.-
Associations of this and other Slates; but as Charles
ton was selected as the place of meeting, the secession
ists per se, immediately took the alarm, and were de
termined to come down, not only to carry out their own
purposes, hut to overawe Charleston, and let the North
ern merchants, and otlu-r gentlemen of like cloth
known that Charleston was not the State, nor should
she be permitted to throw cold water on the oountry
flame. The first movo in the game t. at is to be
played was to take Charleston by storm. It is well
known that in every District in the State the Southern
Rights Associations are merely composed of persons
violent for immediate secession. Generally, three or
four of the most violent eoutrol the Associations, and
in making their appointment to this Convention, tin
most ultra secessionists in nearly every District were
sel-'t-ted. It is idle, it is absurd, it is without a shad
ow of foundation to say that this Convention represent
ed the sentiimnt of South Carolina. This is palpable
on the slighest examination. For instance, the l)-strict
of Abbeville decided in the election to the State Con
vention by an overwhelming majority against separate
Suite action; yet eighteen out of twenty delegates ap
pointed to this Convention were for the most extrcim
ineasures. Cl ester, in like manner is unanimous against
separate State action. Greenville is a Union District,
not for any kind of action, and yet a delegation of the
•most extreme secessionists represented that District.
Kershaw is nearly unanimous agiinst separate action,
and Pendleton, Spartanburg, York, Lexington and
Charleston, and yet tlv-re were only five negatives to
address and resolutions. I believe there are twen
ty-seven Districts in South Carolina, and I know tha:
some of the Delegates to the State Convention in ev.-ry
District but six, are opposed to separate State action,
and that in Charleston, York, Abbeville, Chester, Lex
ington, and Kershaw, the entire delegations (or nearly
so.) are opposed ; and yet in the (Meetingof the South
ern Rights Associations, composed of four h-.*.uied
and thirty delegates, only fire voting against resolu
tions looking to that end. This is really strange—very
strange! Out of the Charleston Delegation alone t<>
this Conven ion at least three-fourths were a.imcdh
opposed to sepaiate action, and one of their number
representing the majority demanded the yeas and nays,
but at the earnest entreaty of those who wanted to
make a one-sided affair of if, the motion was with
drawn, and it is now published to the world t .at hero
were but five opposed to separate State action. Ther
may have been but five nays, but i* is known that pack
ed as the body was, there were at least a dozen times
that many ready to vote in the negative. It is beau,
ful to sweep on in this wav, and by such exhibition of
strategy carry the Suite headlong out of the Union ,
yet these very men who are trying to carry every thing
by storm are constantly exclaiming to those who object
to their policy, keep quiet, don't divide, there . *.ut a
shade of difference btween u*. and if we divide, all our
moral strength will be lost. This to one who will view
tie matter properly is but a thin veil, for as soon as
the secessionists per se, are satisfied of their strength,
every moderate man will go by the board. Let Un
true resistance parly of the State but carryout their
supineness a little longer, until the timid and doubting
are swept in the rushing torrent, and they will awake
from their lethargy and find the State ruined and them
selves destroyed. Look at the manner in which .Judge
Chevea’ letter was mated in the late convention hear
the threats that were uttered against Built-r, and the
still stronger denunciations that await any man who
ventures to question the pd cyof this movement, and
the indications are unmistakeable, and force the con
clusion that the moderate ami prudent men who, we
doubt not, compose a majority of the State, must show
their strength and take their position while yet time is,
or they will find wild councils ruling the hour, and
themselves and the great Southern cause destroyed.
It has been urged, we hear, from every quarter that
Charleston will soon be for separate action. (I suppose to
keep tlte State from offering far up as a sacrifice.) and
the supposed or asserted charge in relation to Charles
ton is being used in the country, while it is well known
that seven-eighths if not eleven-twelfths of the people
at e opposed to the action of the late congress of dele
gates.
Tho association having declared itself permanent,
proci-eds to organize in every manner for immediate
secession. The moderate, yet lirin resistance men, who
are for doing something effectual when it can be done,
and not by rashness to ruin every thing, are afraid to
move, are afraid of bt-ing called submissionists, art
afraid that the reaction will go too far towards ac
quiescence in tho late measures of Congress; and
•rom litis fear stand by and sec tlte State whirled off
like a comet, and every thing they hold dear put in
jeopardy by the rashness and indiscretion of those
whose judgments have succumbed to their zeal. The
proceedings of this convention will be ratified by each
district association, and w ill go forth and come back
in every newspaper in the country, and be re-echoed,
that South Carolina is a unit for separate secession—
"fvhen it is an ascertained fact that scarcely more than a
majority of a dozen of her constitutional convention
arc in favor of it; and it is believed that a majority of
nearly every district arc opposed. To the reflecting,
true, and wisely prudent men of the State we would
say: ‘‘There is a tide in the affairs of men, &e.”—
Will you ntako the application, or let posterity do it for
you? A DISUNIONIST.
From the Greenville (S. C ) Patriot.
Who are (be Submhsioiiisis.
“Oh, wad some power the gillie gic us
To see ourselves as others see us.’’
Terms of- reproach and personal abuse arc, generally
speaking, indicative of a bad heart, an empty head and
a vulgar mind. On the other hand, kitidm-ss and cour
tesy, and a proper respect for the feelings and opinions
of those with whom we may differ politically, are un
cring indications of a well bred gentleman and a man
of sense. He ktiows full well that no two minds can
think a like in all things and on ali questions. Men
may differ widely in religion, and yet be equally pious.
So they may in politic*,and be equally patriotic.
It has not been our purjsise to call hard names in ex
posing the arguments of our adversaries. This any
one can do, and it ttquires no talent. On the contrary,
it is more likely to be done where the argument is weak
and worthless. The term “submissioiiisl” has been
applied to all, in South Garolina, who arc not disposed
to plunge their country into all th*- horrors and uncer
tainties of a revolution. This epithet has, in ail proba
bility, seared many a weak and wavering mind into
submission, and made it adopt principles and express
feelings which it inwardly abhorred.
But who are the submissionists? Not the free negroes,
abolitionists and fugitive slaves of the North. They
are no submissionists to federal u-urpation and legisla
tion. Not they. Their patriotism and spirit, and
sense of wrong, and religious belief, teach them resis
tance to the federal government, resistance to the knife
and the hilt, ft h never the constitutional and estab
lished law sos their country are to be enforced in Bos
ton, N. \oi k or Philadelphia, thty feel it be their im
perative and sacred duty to assemble in mobs, in the
streets and court houses, to resist tlte enforcement of
those laws ‘’with all the power which God and nature
has placed at their command !’’ They are no submis
sionists. Not-they. In their black hearts there is no
room for submission to the laws of God or man.
But who are the submissionists ofthe North? Why
such men as Webster, Everett, Woodbury, Dickinson,
Ingersoll, Buchanan, Dallas, Choate, Cass, Douglass,
and all the wise and virtuous and patriotic <>f New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania and the northwest,
they are the submission men—nten who are disposed
to enforce the laws of the federal government, and re
peal them if they are unwise—men who feci no degra
dation in submitting to the laws of their country, sattc
Honed by a majority of the people of the United States,
voted for by a majority of the States of the Republic,
and approved by a Chief Magistrate representing both
the people ofthe United States of the Union.
Such men, however, as Seward, John Van Buren.
Gitldings, Hale, and negro Fled, et id omne genus,
have too much spirit in their hearts to submit to those
laws of the federal government thus passed, which they
think, or pretend to think, are unwise, unequal, unjust
and unconstitutional. If laws are to be resisted by
th jse who think them in conflict with ‘‘the higher law”
of God, or the federal constitution, there would be an
end of all law and government. The worst men in a
community are of course the first, in many instances, to
feel the law, and would be the first to shout the cry of
resistance.
George Washington was a submissinnist of the
highest order, although ILde and Giddings are not.
He said: ‘‘Respect for the authority of this govern
ment, the offspring of your own choice, compliance with
its laws, acquiescence in its measures, are duties enjoin
ed by the fundamental maxims of true liberty. The
very idea of the power and the right of the people to
establish government, presupposes the duty of every in
dividual to obey the established government.”
These are strong submission doctrines, and too much
so for the patriotism and spirit of the abolitionists, free
negroes and fugitive slaves of the North. Washington
invokes his countrymen again to beware <>f changes in
their government and the destruction of their Union
He likewise predicted that men would rise up in the
country, at various times, and endeavor\o persuade the
American people that they were badly governed, and
should revolutionize their government and destroy the
republic.
Who arc the submissionists, so termed by those who
call names instead of using arguments, in South Caroli
na? They are men who have had firmness to think
for themselves, and candor enough to avow their opin
ions. They are men who do not believe that it is right
and proper to destroy a government every time it goes
wrong. They believe that secession is no remedy for
the evils of which wo complain. They are firmly per
suaded that it would plunge their State into a revolution,
and bring with it all the consequences of a civil war.
without the hope ofsocces or triumph in its principles.
They do not feel dishonored when fourteen out offif
teett of the slave holding States are with them, and are
pursuing the same course in regard to the federal gov
ernment. They are not without their apprehensions,
on the subject of shivery, ami they h ive felt the indig
nity which was attempted on tlte part of the Ron-slave
holding States. They are, therefore, anxious to see a
unanimity of feeling and eo operation between all the
Southern States on the subject. Such concert of ac
tion would, in their opinion, secure our rights as slave
hi lders and preserve our rights as citizens of the Uni
ted States.
But who are these men who have thus been reviled
as submissionists? J< K | R. Poinsett, whose life has
been characterized by lirinuess and boldness, and devo
tion to the principles of \\ ashiiigton, and whose courage
in Mexico, in unfurling the flag of his country in the
face of an infuriated mob, was in the true spirit of dar
ing and romantic cltivairy. James Hamilton, Jr.,the
embodiment of spirit and valor, the gallant leader of
his State in the days of nullification. J. L. Petigru, Col.
Grayson, Bishop Ca|ers. Dr. Thorn well. Dr. Henry,
and many others, who are not surpassed in South Caro
lina for their patriotism, talents, learning purity ofcliar
aeter, firmness and courage.

tion to day.
Location of the Fair.— We understand
that the Committee appointed to select a place
for the Agricultural Fair have settled down up
on the Parade Ground, on the Southeastern
Reserve, as the most eligible and convenient
spot for the exhibition. The ground is now
in possession ofthe Military Companies, who
will doubtless very cheerfully give leave for its
occupancy for the purpose indicated. It is con
venient to the Depot of the Southwestern Rail
Road which will there be joined by the Macon
and Western Road, and the Central Road, be
fore the time appointed for the fair. It is also
easy of access from tha city and w ell supplied,
with water for stock.
• Dedication.
Oil to-morrow, the services of Dedication of the
New Methodist church, in this city, will take place. Rev.
IV. R. Branham will preach thu Dedication sermon and
will be assisted by other clergymen of the Denomina
tion. By reference to the card of Mr. Evans, Pastor
in charge, in another column, it will be seen that the
sum yet needed to finish the decorations of tlte ne.>
temple of worship, ranges from SIOOO to SISOO, which
it is desirable to raise to-morrow by a general collection.
And we predict, from w hat we know of the persever
ance and tact of the Pastor in similar exigencies, that.
tli* whole sum will be probably raised by the congrega
tion. Mr. E. is a faithful man in his high calling and
his fervent appeals to the people to offer an unincum
bered House to the service of Jehovah, will, we are sure,
he responded to, in a liberal spirit. Hot only by his own
people, hut also by the citizens at large, and member*
of other churches who are interested in the general ad
vanccmcnt of good morals in tlte community.
The Fillibnstcrs. —The Convention of this par
ty met at Milledge. ilie on Wednesday last to nominate
a candidate for Governor. Convention organized by
calling James M. Smyth, E*q., of Richmond, to tin-
Chair, and appointing two Secretaries. Delegates from
54 counties ippearod and were enrolled.
Col. II nry G. Lamar of Clark county, was unani
mously elected President of the Convention.
Ou motiou of Mr. Day of Jones, a Committee of
three delegates from each Judical District was appoint
ed to report matter for the action of the body. On
Thursday morning the committee of 33 reported a se
ries of Resolutions of the following purport. The pre
amble charges that tlte country is passing through an
alarming crisis —that the General Government lias
undergone and is undergoing fundamental changes—
that the Southern Suites have been plundered an i de
graded by the Compromise measures of the last Con
gress—and that the Government is also changed in
other particulars, such as finance and revenue, and is
altogether a very corrupt and corrupting Institution.
Th- Resolutions declare that the salvation of the
South depends on the maintenance of the Virginia and
K ntueky doctrines of ‘9B-’l)9—that the States are
separate and equal sovereignties—that the Union is
one of consent and not force —that each State has.the
right to secede and the General Government has no
authority to restrain the act—that said Government
should 4-cure to all an equality in territory acquit ed by
all—that it lias no right to withhold its protection from
.any species of property and that such is equivalent to
legislative hostility —that these principles were violat
ed by the compromise measures—that the obstruction
by the people of the North to the enforcement of the
Fugitive Slave Bill is a defeat of the Constitutional
rights of the South—that tho harmony and safety of
the Union depend upon a strict construction of the
Constitution—that they are for the Constitution as it
is, and opposed to an United States Bank and a protec
tive Tariff &o. That they yield to none in their at
tachment to the Union and venerate the Union and
Constitution established by their fathers, and their ob
ject is to preserve such a Union if they can, but at all
hazards to maintain the rights and liberties of the peo
ple of Georgia. The hist resolution then nominated
lion. J. C. McDonald as their candidate for Governor.
We have no room for comment this week.
Smart!—Some highly gifted and exquisitely re
fined genius sent us. the other day, through the Post
Office, the following important intelligence!
“Dear Andrews:
I see by your last paper that Hell's afloat and the
river’s a rising ! Go it Boots !
A LIBERTY MAN.”
The Ist item of this paragraph is “Monsieur Tanson’s
News.” We have known, a good while, that “ hell
was afloat” in these diggins* and is getting no better
fast! Tlte 2d item is false, as the dry spell has been too
long to allow of a rise in the river, until we have an
other shower! ‘Guere.’ Would not a man who would
swindle us out of 2 cents, play tlte *‘ Grab game” up
on us, if opportunity offered, to a larger amount ? We
only ask for information.
Thomas Wilson Dorr,— The Rhode island
” Algerine ’’ Legislature have, at last, restored Governor
Dorr to his rights as citizenship, in that Province. The
‘‘sober second thought” of the people demanded his re
storation, and the act of justice to the patriot and honest
man could n> longer be delayed. Dorr’s offence con
sisted in being at the head of the popular suffrage move
ment iu Rhode Island, in 1843. against the despotism
of Magna Charta from King Charles, which prescribes
a property qualification for voting and holding of
fice. The Legislature, however, yielded so far as to
permit the question to be tested by the popular vote,
when it apppeared that the free suffrage men were near
two to one in the State. Dorr was elected Governor
by a handsome majority, hut those in power refused
to give up the reins of government and called in the
aid of the United States to put down the movement,
which was accordingly done by force. Dorr having been
tried for treason and disfranchised, lie is now restored
by a vote of 14 majority on joint Ballot.
The !V>gro Fhnrch.— The white citizens
resident in the neighborhood of the African
Methodist Church, in this city, who ha e long
been annoyed with the distracting scenes habit
ually enacted in that house, now mean, if possi
ble, to rid themselves of what they consider a
nuisance, by preventing the building of the
contemplated new Church on the same site.—
This will be done by legal injunction , if the
Stewards persist in their refusal to compromise
the difficulty, by a removal of the Church to a
more retired situation. We hope that the reas
onable request of property-holders in the vicin
ity ofthe present place of meeting, will be heed
ed, and that they will not he compelled to resort
to law to protect themselves from the “ noise
and confusion’’ usually incident to such congre
gations of colored people.
New Costume fur Ladies.— The Turkish
Costume of short frocks and wide trousaloofis
seems to take Well with the ladies of the North,
and will probably become fashionable and gener
al. In many respects the style of the new dress
is more convenient and elegant than the com
mon mode of long draggling skirtsand concomi
tants. hor the gratification of our numerous la
dy readers we shall shortly present them with
an accurate engraving of a lady rigged out iti the
new toggery, with some comments upon its
claims to the notice of our fair country-women.
American Colonization Society,
On Monday evening, last, Rev. John Morris Pease,
agent of this society, presented the claims of the Col
onization scheme to a respectable audience at the
Methodist Chur-h. Owing, however, to some religiou*
excitement in the various churches iu the city, and some
mistake on the part of Mr. P. as to the promise of the
Elders and Pastor of one of the Societies, to forego ali
other meetings on that evening, in order to co-operate
widt ohr.stians generally, in furtherance of the work ol
Benevolence uah which tlte agent is charged, there
were not as many out to hear his Lecture as were ex
pected. Nor did Mr. Pease succeed in his efforts to
obtain contributions from the citizens at large, not so
much, however, we think, from any objection to theob
jects of the Colonization Society, as from a general de
pression of business and the exhausted state of the
Exchequer of our sovereign people. As we understand
these objects it is for the removal of x\\o free colored
people of this country to Liberia, which is now a flour
ishing Republic in Africa, established under American
auspices, where the free black titan can find that social
and political equality which is denied him here. Anoth
er object is to give those who desire to manumit their
slaves, the opportunity of sending them out of the
country. It is well known, that from no other quartet
is greater danger to Southern Institutions to be appre
hended, titan from the admixture in the community
of free people of color and slaves. That danger the So
ciety seeks to remove l.v transferring the former to Li
beria. This is the political view of the matter, lit a
religious view, however—the redemption of the two nr
three hundred millions of Africans from Pagan dark
ness and despotism, by the introduction into that coun
try of civilization and Christianity is tho paramount fca
ture of tho benevolent enterprize. and one to which every
pious heart in the land should respond with a hearty
“God speed.” ‘ v,
Mr. Pease was eminently successful in his visit to
Mississippi and Louisi&a the |fcst winter, having in
the former State procure** subscriptions to the cause of
about $75,001)! This is a noble example and worthy
of all imitation.

An Independent Press.
There is precious little real independence in the
Journalism of this country, although much gas has
been expended in boasting of it. The political party
press seldom or never dares to gainsay the political
voice of King Caucus or Emperor Regency, because
the Editors’ br.-ad and butter is involved in the ques
tion. Right or wrong, ‘nolus bolus,’ these Journals
go into a scrimmage, reckless of all consequences and
regardless of all results save the success of party nomi
nees. So it is, also, with the Sectarian Press. It i*
professedly, an exclusive system of Journalism, pledged
io the single object of ecclesiastical predominance over
all antagonisms of like nature, and of course, cannot be
relied on to do full ju tice to opposite and conflicting
views. And even the neutral press, avowedly m-itli
er sectarian nor political, and boastfully independent in
character, often displays as much servility and truck
ling towards those engaged in public and private abus
es as the meanest class of rabid, partisan Journals show
towards the great ones of their party. The neutral
press is also chargeable as much as any other, with the
disgraceful system of black moil which is often levied
on applicants for Editorial favors. Iti fact 6o common
has this pi act iso become, that some of the political
Journalists of Georgia have adopted the same and re
duced the whole affair to a regular pro rata Tariff or
’slidingscale’ of charges, like any other ‘fair business
transaction.* For example, tho following items arc
selected to show the modus operandi of this new Fi
nancial process.

Now, according to this tariff it will be seen that the
ad valorem principle is ndroUty woven in with the
specific duty’ adjustment, s<> that every thing is made
to tell handsomely to the Editor's purse, aud without
any detriment to any save those ignorant readers who
are green enough to imagine tint all the favorable no
tices published in his paper are candid and disinterested
expositions of men and things from the honest brain ol
tho Editor. We need not add that in the profit and
loss calculations of this scheme, no account is taken of
the ‘wear and tear’ of an Editor's conscience or of the
deprecititioti in value of his wares and merchandize,
by reason of the fact leaking out. that every thing has
been paid for. at ‘fancy-brand’ prices!
But when public abuses or private injuries call for
animadversion these very independent Editors have
not a ‘soul above buttons,’ but wink and eonniveat eve
ry thing which involves arty personal discomfort to
themselves or special friends. Well, it does require
some nerve to be an independent Editor —to speak
freely no matter whose corns are trodden on, and to
stand up squarely to the rights of all his constituency,
tlvough good report and through evil. We may be
in error but it appears to us that facing a Colt Revolver
in the hands of a personal antagonist, jm a fair fi- id of
honor, isn't a circumstance in comparison with the
true moral courage which goes to make up a conscien
tious and independent Journalist.
Atlanta Republican.— Brother Rencau mis
takes us, altogether, in the matter of the Agri
cultural Fair of Atlanta. \Ye meant to giv*- no
“sly tinder-handed thrusts” but a candid com
pliment to the people of that place for th •

our “characteristic modesty’’ been at fault in

Central Association, especially as Brother Ren

by’ heretofore! But that is a small matter.
\Ve shall have opportunity hereafter, we hope,
to show that we are altogeth -r friendly to the
movement at Atlanta, started under the name
ofthe “ Georgia State Agricultural Mechanical

save its mtine! Our “modesty” could not stand
that, though it may be “characteristic” with us.
We would prefer the name of the “Georgia

every department of enterprize and labor, with

State Agricultural Fair.
The following Letter from Mr. Charles A. Peabody,
one of the Executive Committee of the Central Agri
cultural Association was written to us, in reply to
one addressed by us, to him, in relation to the dissatis
faction which we discovered to exist in this region with
the Premium List recently published by said
Committee, for the ensuing Fair in this city. We
■lo not know that this letter vas intended for publiea
lion,as it is an answer merely to private inquiries on
the ouoject, hut as the matter has got into the newspa
pers and is likely to be discussed at length, we think it
best to give in his own words the views of that member
of the Committee, on whose shoulders the burden
chiefly devolved, of preparing the Premium Table and
adjusting its details.
Columbus, May 23, 1851.
Dear Doctor .-—Yours of the 21>t lets just
come to hand; you advise me, that, there is some
dissatisfaction with the Premium List, existing
in Macon. That there should be some, in so
large and varied a list, I am not at all surprised.
The Committee had no lijfh t task in forming
that list, and were guided solely by the amount
they had to distribute, and the benefit they
hoped to accrue to the South by its distribution.
You speak of the insignificant wheat prize. It
is the same as given by New York and Mary
land. We did not suppose, that the only ob
ject of the Farmer was the the
reputation width his wheat gets. I saw the
premium wheat at Atlanta last season sell readi
ly at five dollars per bushel. I look upon a prac
tical Essay upon the culture of wheat, in these
States, as being worth more to the people, than
the exhibition of one hundred bushels would
be, and as to the Steam Engine, and Horticul
tural Essay, I look upon a practical Essay for
the culture of Fruits, Vegtables and Flowers
adapted to our soil and climate, as of more
real utility to our people than the exhibition of
fifty Engines. The man that gets the premium
for the Engine, gets a reputation for skill and
workmanship which is more than equivalent for
any discreuancy there tnay be in the amount of
the premiums. There is now an Engine man
ufacturing in Montgomery for the Fair, which
the proprietors will think themselves well paid
for, if they take the first premium. You speak
of the omission of field crops for premiums.
Were you aware that our Committee were not
called together to make out the premium list,
until after till field crops were planted ? We
i-ould not have offered a premium on any
field crop, and had the competition open
to all. lam aware there may be some
discrepancies in the list, but all these will be
rectified by the discretionary Committee who
will award premiums on all such articles of
merit, as may have escaped the notice of the
Executive Committee, as iongas funds hold out
to do it with. Our list lias been published and
sent abroad, and it is now too late to make any
alterations, but should the funds of the society
hold out, the Committee will certainly take
great pleasure in giving every thing its due. —
You will find on comparing the list with tin*
Maryland State society that we have nothing
to blush for. I trust the good sense of your citi
zens will see the importance of being united,
and that for the paltry dollar , no one will
throw cold water on the efforts of the Commit
tee. I am, Dear Sir, Very truly Yours,
CHARLES A. PEABODY.
With all due deference to the respected author of
the foregoing Letter, and without a doubt of the puri
ty of his motives in the adjustment of the premium
list, we must he permitted still Jo think that the Cmn
mittee have egregiously failed in making up the prize
awards for the Fair. The great object of these Fairs
undoubtedly is, to give impetus to the important inter
ests of Agriculture and its collateral branches in
the State of Georgia, by exciting individual emulation
among our citizens to a more perfect system of culture
&e. It is also the wish of all interested in this suhject to
make the annual Fairs us the society as useful ami im
posing as possible. Now. has this been done by giv-,
iug the preference to authors over Planters and Mh-J
ehinists? Do the Committee think that tht* Essa\M
on various subjects will have any more merit than hun£
■ 1 Teds of such that are published monthly in the Agri
cultural papers of the country ? Besides, the best
practical essay on the culture of any crop will be the
statement submitted by each one who brings specimens
to the Fair, of the value and treatment of his soil and
his mode of culture to produce a given result. This
will b understood by even the most illiterate farmer,
when told by his neighbor in plain ami untechnieal lan
guage. But he will not be able to understand a Sci
entific treatise of the same purport, if expressed in the
refined scholastic language of the Agricultural Theo
rist.
As to the Wheat item. also, what was to hinder a
premium for the best field crop? The fact that wheat
was already planted is not a valid reason. So were
Cotton, Corn. &c. In our judgment the planter who
establishes the fact that good wheat can be profitably
and successfully raised in Georgia, deserves more honor
as a useful citizen than the authors of a hundred Essays
••n the subject, without the practical results to show the
application of theory to practise.
Again, what comparison in utility can there be be
tween an Essay on Horticulture, Flowers &e., and the
best bushel of Corn with a brief statement as to the
mode of culture thereof? Yet for the first, a SSO silv
er pitcher is to be awarded, while the - paltry ’ sum of
$2 in cash only is offered for the latter ! The discrepan
cy is glaring and preposterous.
Once more—Premiums of from $2 to $5, arc offered
for Cochin China. Malay and Shanghai Chickens. Bre
men Geese and Muscovy Ducks, which are not to be
found in the State, except a few lately imported from
abroad, while to the poor Farmer who raises a fine
crop of Potatoes, Peas, Oats Sre., the ‘paltry dollar’ is
off-red as a magnificent recomp-nse for his skill and at
tention !
Friend Peabody, we arc sure, did not mean to insin
uate that those who are dissatisfied with the Premium
List are influenced by this ‘paltry dollar’ to ‘throw
cold water on the effort* of the Committee.’ It he did, he
lias done many of the best friends of the cause great
injustice, thereby. For we liapien to know that some
of the most liberal contributors to the premium fund
and Fair expenses, in Macon, are dissatisfied with the
List, and b lieve, most religiously, that the action of the
Committee will effectually ‘throw cold water’ upon the
whole exhibition. To avoid this and make the next
Fair the grandest and proudest exhibition ever witness
ed in the South is the reason that actuates us in
wishing the committee to revise and correct their Pre
mium List. The people of Macon, particularly, feel a
deeper interest in the matter than can be felt in other
places. Their money has been freely tendered to bring
the Fair to this Central and convenient place, and they
desire, most of all, that there should not only be no
failure but that every one who visits the exhibition shall
b“ perfectly satisfied with its removal to and permanent
establishment in this locality. But as matters now
stand, man) have become lukewarm and others disgust
ed tosuclt an extent that were the subscrip ion of $4,000“
now to be raised, not the fourth of it. we verily believe
could be n alized. This, we are aware, is plain talk,
but it is none the less worthy the consideration of those
who have the power in their hands to remedy the evils
complained of. if they are not too ‘wise in their own
conceits’ to give heed to the reasonable suggestions of
others as much devoted to the Agricultural interests of
the commonwealth as they possibly can be.

Clerical Disqualifications.
By the present Constitution of Virginia, Clergymen of
all denominations are disqualified from holding seats in
the Legislature,or indeed any civil office. In the Conven
tion now in session we see that an abortive effort has
been made to change all this. In giving the proceed
ings of Tuesday last, the Richmond Examiner states
that *• an effort ‘ vas made to remove the disqualifica
tion which now keeps Ministers*of the Gospel from of
fice in Virginia; but the Convention very properly, and
by a large majority, determined to preserve the provis
ions oi the Constitution upon that point. Mr. Francis
Scott, though himself a clergyman, made a very hand
some and a very able speech against its removal.”
We find the above in the Savannah Georgian, and copy
it as token that intolerance and proscription have not
yet had their day in this boasted land ol liberty 1 To
the disgrace of Virginia, be it said, that her rulers have
not only proscribed an intelligent class of her cit izens—
the clergy—but have actually placed them on the same
platform with penitentiary convicts and felons of the
worst degree 1 On what principle of justice is this vio
lation of a preacher’s rights permitted ? The constitu
tion of the United States does not tolerate any religious
test for office and no State constitution should come in
conflict with its fundamental principles. The fact is, if
the convention of Virginia has a right to prohibit
any class of men from holding office, they have the
right also to prevent their voting for others. And
wlun the principle is once admitted, the dominant ma
jority of any period,can,with equal propriety, decree that
none but those who believe a particular religious creed
shall either vote or hold office, whether laymen or clergy
men! Church and State will then become the order of the
day and religious freedom be at an end ! Such prims
as tho Richmond E xaininer and Savannah Georgian
may deem all this “ very properly” done, and the
“ very Reverend’’ Francis Scott may have made an
able speed) against the removal of an odious disqualifi
cation from his own class, but it all will not do to rnakc
the thing right , or show that such birds as “defile
their own nest,” have only a fabulous existence ! In
our judgment, Mr. Scott has rendered himself infamous
by his course on this question. Ilis ostensible object,
we dare say, for that is the common cant of such disci
ples, is to keep separate things sacred and profane—
to prevent the commingling of law and gospel .but the real
motive is to throw an extra degree of sanctity about
‘lie ministerial office which will serve to elevate preach
ers in the eyes of old women and timid maidvns.and in
vest them with a fictitious halo of purity which belong
to saints and angels and not to mor'als. Out we sav
unon ail such “Mawworm” and ‘‘Cantwell” expe
dients to manufacture a pious reputation. They are
unworthy of meu of sense and should be frowned down
by the people.

Agricultural Fair.
“Farmer” in the last “Telegraph’’ in defending the
contracted and illiberal policy ofthe Agricultutal Com
mittee in the matter of premiums to be awarded at the
next Fair of the Society, goes out of his way to insin
uate that the Mechanics are the fault finders in the case
because the premiums offered to them “ are too small
when compared with those offered to Agriculture.”
Now, I venture to say Mr. Editor, that no Mechanic
lias complained of the premium list on this pitiful
ground. The objection is against spending SSOO of
ihe funds contributed, in part by the Mechanics, for
Agricultural Songs mid Essays , which any young Law
yer in the country, who has a thimble full of brains,
can concoct at his leisure, from the writings of others,
and strut forth in borrowed plumage on Fair Day, with
a premium of SSO for his pains, when he may know
literally nothing of the matter about which he writes,
while, at the same time, the skillful mechanic who pro
duces a machine worth thousands, or the planter who
has spent years in learning how to produce a good crop
of wheat and corn is encouraged by the very liberal
award of from $1 to $2! This is an objection, more
over. which will be fatal to the Fair itself, units* it is
speedily altered and the distribution of prizes made
more equitable.
“Farmer” also unnecessarily disparages Mechanical
pursuits as “assistant” and secondary to Agricultural.
It may be true that agriculture is the Lading topic,
but it is questionable whether it is so fur superior to
iMeoffiffitsir. zn'* Fartner-’-smagines. _ What -wouf.l.-fi*r
example, be the condition of the agricultural interest of
Georgia, at this time, had it not been supported vigor
ous! and efficiently bv its handmaid sister, Mechanism ?
VV here would have been your plows, cultivators, cotton
gins, cotton presses, fan mills, saw and grist mills, rice
cleaners, sickles, threshers, straw cutters, Arc. And
where would have been the ero|>s of the planter, but for
the wagon and harness maker's skill, the skill of the ship
and boat builder and the constructor of Railroads and
tlie steam engine —that insignificant machine, (in
“Farmer’s’’ eyes,) that is only worthy of a like premium
with a “ Yankee Doodle’’song on the mode of curing
chickens of the pip or the art of raising pumpkins and
squashes ! Verily, the pronged-stick plough of the
early ages must be a most precious implement in “Far
mer's” hands, if he is sincere in his contemptuous re
marks respecting the Mechanic Arts of this day and
generation. SLEDGE HAMMER.
