Recently a young man left his home at YVareham, and for several days no ti- t dmg were heard of him. lie worked at a factory, and as he did not go home as usual, on Saturday evening, search wa* made, but without avail. Several days passed by, and yet no news of the young man. Ilis father knew not what step* to take, when his brother (the young man’s uncle) happened in,and being him self a ‘•medium,” proposed to have a sitting, and ask “the spirits” to inform them of the whereabouts of the young man. The father, though not a believer in Spiritualism himself, eon seated.- The spirits announced by raps, that the young man had exchanged his factory suit for a sailor’s rig,—told whore he got his clothinsi, —and that he had gone ofi wuh the intention of going on a whaling voyage. The direction he had taken was given ; but the spirit summed it up saying “You will find him at Province town.” Without much fai'h in the matter, the father wrote to a friend in this place, that he had reason to believe his son had gone >ff. and might possibly try to i ship from Provinceton. He describe him, and told his friend >f he saw the lad here to detain him. Two days aft* r this letter was received here, the lad tried to ship—indeed had signed arti cles at Hillard’s \\ art", but he was v ecog nized. and though he gave an assented nan e at first, he finally owned up, and was kept iu custody till his father cam* after him. Now how could anybody know that this chap would come to Proviuc et* >wn ? He first took the Car..* Cm! Raijr. >a; and went straight, to Ilyan iis; his in tention was to Nantucket; but fearing he should be too sharply qne-tion and by the passengers, he turned and >wn the Cap**, and walked to Orleans ; thence. < Suns pay, he turned back, and went up to ‘ Dennis, where he took a pa. ket for B*s t >n. There he went to a shipping-, fli, e and though he first, thought jf g -mg to New Bedford, he finally shipped to’ go in a schooner from this place, and wa sent down here with thj rest of the crew. Thus nearly a week afier “the spirits” said he would be fund in Prov incetown, and after he hid hunsuJf been within an easy walk of it by land, he is brought here again, and his father, at considerable expense, carries him home. What is the explanation? The bov himself, wh -n he whs fairly trapped, in this pl ice, said, ‘1 know h>w this came about—it has all been done by the spiritual Telegraph !” We have given the facts. They at least prove all this: that somebody somewhere, knows something; though generally speakmg,mot of us know :oio. paratively very little.— Province to mi Banner. The Internal Improvement Conven tion. The Savannah Republican is already seriously exercised on the Internal lin provem-nt Convention, proposed to be held in this city on the first Wednesday in August. The Chronicle & Sentinel of Augusta is also similarly all. ctd. The Republican says: “We regard this ques tion of ‘Stale Aid to I’til R.tn is’ withro small degree of alarm, especially as the interest in the matter has become so dif fused throughout the Sratc as to admit of a combination which we fear will override all opposition.” What a pity it is ihit about twenty-five years ago “the interest” in “State Aid to Railroads become so diffused throughout the Srate fts to admit of a combination” w hich ac tually resulted in the Weston Ac Atlan tie Railroad at a cost of *ti,o<)o.ooo. which a<o caused a lire of Ruwoa ls t . be built ail the way from Savannah to Marthasville, and another all the was I from Augusta to the sanv* p'ace, togeth er with several other important R~ads. and camed Savannah to increase in p. ,p- i ulation in fifteen years from7.ooo t025,- 000, and in wealth, during ihe -am * pe riod, lrom three or four million dollars to about twenty millions dollars, ad Augusta to do nearly as well, aid atilt another “combination which,” about f.u r years ago gave to Savannah alias the 1 nion Trunk R ad, *1.000,000 from the State Treasury. We imagine that the Editor of the Republican, >r his prede cessor, “regarded the question” in those days ‘ with no small degree of alarm,” not on account of fear, as expressed, that it would bo granted, but on account of fear that “S'ate Aid to Railroads” would not be granted, and Savannah not be made rich and powerful. “Bur,” sa. s this old exponent of Savannah policy most scrupulously h >ne-t ofoour-e—-w e have uo local prejudices to gratify nor local interests to serve.” Perfectly dis interested ar and consistent! “We do n t believe,” it Sys further, “that a Rail. road will be built in Georgia under any circumstances that will ti.jure the city of Savannah to ihe amount ut a dollar.” Nor do we believe any such thing ; but on the other hand, we do believe tiiat Savannah, like unto all other large and leading towns, all Railroads within its reach, connected directly and indi- i evt.y with it, will add to itsbisimss and prosperity. Does not the “Repub bean” and even Mr. Cuvier believe the same ? A\ hat then is the matter with leading men iu Savannah and Augusta Who very well know the effect of Ril n ads, and who must benefit largely from the construction of more Railroads in . a e vT ‘ ereVtr their location may bo Wbo Ull0 „ thjt °H , I Sever “ l links of ;, -j ‘ fl ' rci! “mpouiwn in 111.- ’ other States must soon lav r . , , her improvements in the b'uek ground'? Why is it, then, that the leading of these two cities are so glaring, y j BCkIU sistent iu their course in regard to State Aid or any other kind of aid to certain necessary Roads? This needs explana tion. There is unquestionably upon us slate of things touching further neces sary Internal Improvements, and through thrm the vital interests of the people which demands the most careful atten tion. Die proposed Convention, we take it, is intend.d, in part, at least, for inquiry, and the and tfu-ion of some further knowledge upon these matters. And so long as one haif of the territory of the State, and one-half of the people, afe to . tally destitute of any real advantages from the Railroads, aud ro long as tlie State, as a whole, is in great danger ol being thrown in the back giound by powerful rivals, we think it would be ex tre aely bad police to discussion it the bid ling of any party or {wirtics. — Atlanta American.

T&e florlins Fourth J— The day was cele brated iq this city with somewhat more than usual honor, on Monday last—opening with the ringing of the Church bells and the > looming of cannon—filling up with a grand processi<ra, consisting of the Military Batol lion. of four coin pa ties, Young America Fire Company, No. 2, Civil Dignitaries and Citizens—which proceeded to Kalston’s Hall to listen to the Reading of the Declaration ol Independence, Ae., and closing with anoth er series of explosions from Artillery. Os the exercises inside the Hull, we are not able to speak, from our personal knowledge— j but we have heard it said by cunijietcnt j judges, that the Heading of the Declaration was done in a most masterly manner by Mr \Y M.

It is no easy thing to read that immortal document as it should be, with the proper emphasis and in- I tonation, and he who acquits himself so creditably in the performance, as to elicit the spontaneous commendation of such a man a* Chief Justice Lumpkin, must have done the job well. After the parade, the Floyd Rifle? repair ed to Spring Garden, where they luxuriated awhile under Benton’s auspices. The Ma con Yolunteera had a Hag presented to them by Miss Julia E.

Macon has advan tages far sunerior to those of Mitiedgevilie, or any other place in the State. Whether on the score of centrality, accessibility, or hotel accommodations, it stands without a rival. It has halls, too, we learn, equal in capacity and comfort, to any in the city of Miiksigeville. The great advantage though, is that you can get there and away again at your pleasure, without the trouble and ex pense of an extra train. We htqe the Opposition press will speak out generally on this point.” The Atlanta “ American ” endorses the above proposition, and we doubt not it will be acceptable to two thirds of the Delegates to the Convention. We cordially accept the motion and amendment, and respond LET THE CONVENTION BE HELD IN MACON ON THE 3D WEDNESDAY OF JULY. There is yet ample time to give notice of the change of place, and we hoje that our brethren of the l’res- will at once speak out their views on the subject, and if favorable, announce the same promptly to their read ers.

On motion of Mr. Hammond, of Monroe, a Committee of one from each county was appointed to prepare resolutions expressive l of the sense of tlie Convention. The follow arc the Committee : Messrs. Hammond, of Monroe, Fagin, rs Crawford. Walker, of Upson, Hood, of Har ris. Sanders, of Spalding, Hone, of Houston, Stubbs, of Bibb, Reese, of Taylor, Boynton, jof Butts, Lumsden, of Talbot, Stegar, ol Pike. J The Committee retired, and after a short absence returned, and reported through their Chairrflan, Col. Hammond, the follow j ing resolutions, which were, on motion, unanimously adopted: The American and Opposition party of the Third Congressional District, viewing with alarm the disorganized state of parties throughout tlie country, the corruption ot the party in power, and the inevitable ten ( deucy of the present exciting questions to an overthrow of our cherished institutions, deem it proper to ignore all minor differen ces, anil unite upon a common platform in defence of our national interests and South ern Rights. Therefore Resolved, Ist. That the Constitution of the United States is the best basis of our politi cal rights, and that all attempts, either North or South, to override its limits, or de- J feat its legitimate powers by higher law , o an overstrained construction of it3 princi ples. is injurious to us both as a Southern and a National people. Resolved, 2d. That we are opposed to uni ting the sword, purse and war-making pow er in the hands of the President, and believe that the interests of the South require that i we should no longer trust our destinies to the faithless policy of the Administration.— It has left the Treasury bankrupt—attempt ed to revive a ruinous Tariff policy, and pro jected a Pacific Railroad scheme, requiring a large outlay of public money, which will tend to add strength and power to the North to the disadvantage and inequality of the South in the Union—and which, if accom plished, will become a source of corruption in coming Federal Administrations, unex ampled iu tlie history of this country. Resolved, 3d. That the 41 Northern dem ocrats, with Mr. Douglas as their loader, have proved faithless to the pledges of South , ern Democrats, ns weprophecied and expect ed. and the South can no longer rely upon 1 them for the maintenance of our rights in ’ the territories of the Union. Resolved, 4th. That the Democratic par tv in order to maintain their power in the Federal Government, have again, in their recent Convention in Milledgaviile, virtual ly ignored our rights, and endorsed the sla very policy ot the Administration, and had . not tlie courage to proclaim the true senti ments of the South, for fear it would inter ; sere with their chances of offieo and public plunder. Resolved, sth. We believe there are con servative men North, who deplore theinees -unt agitation of slavery, and desire that it should cease; but we cannot look with con fidence to any political party North for our rights in relation thereto; nor can we affili with, or support for office, any man, North or South, who would quietly submit to any more compromises of the rights of the South, or in f ,vor of the Cincinnati platform, with its double construction, but believe the South should boldly proclaim the whole the ory of her rights upon the question of slave ry, and maintain them, “ though discord reign forever.” Resolved, (Jth. That it is the duty of Con gress to protect slavery in the territories, ‘until the power to establish or abolish it, is vested in a teritorial Convention by virtue of their sovereign capacity in iorining a Staf Constitution prior to admission in the Union, and that a territorial legislation has no right to exclude slavery, or to pass any police or municipal laws, that would inter fere with its absolute enjoyment or tolerate alien suffrage. Revived “lh. That the KsinsHs-Xebnsks Act, with its Northern construction, was a fraud on the South ; and we consider the final termination connected therewith in the pas sage of the English Bill a3 clear proof of the charge wo make. , Resolved Bth, That we are pained to an nounce the determination of our immediate Representative, Hon. 11. P. Trippe, to de cline a re-election to Congress. We believe him to he capable, patriotic and honest, and hereby lender him our lest wishes for his prosperity, and deeply regret any cause for his retirement. There was tonic debate as to the mode of voting, but tbe Convention finally deter mined that those counties having two mem bers of the Legislature be entitled to three votes, and those having three members be entitled to five votes. On motion of Mr. Reee, of Taylor, it was Resolved, that a majority of tbe whole number of votes east be necessary to a choice. It being announced that the Convention was ready to ballot for a candidate to repre sent tbe 3rd District in Congress, the names of Capt. Thos. Hardeman, of Bibb; Col. David P. Hill, of Harris ; Col. Peter \V. Alexander, of Upson, and Col. A. G. Fam bro. of Upson. [Col. Fambro's name was withdrawn soon after it was announced,] The following arp the b&llotings: Ist Ballot—Hardeman 191, Hill 11, Alex der 12J. fid Ballot—Hardeman 201, Hill 12, Alex ander 10E 3d Ballot—(Mr. Hill being withdraw n,)- Hardeman received 24 votes, Alexander 11, Scattering 8. The President having declared Thos. Hardeman, Jr., of Bibb, to have received a majority of all the votes cast, Mr. Banks, of Forsyth, moved that the nomination be made unanimous. Adopted. Ou motion, the Fres doit appointed Messrs T. P. Siubbs, Dr. S. H- Sniders, and A. D Hammond, a Committee to inform C**pt. Harde-’ man of Dis nomination and leqnesl l.is accep tance of the same. On motion, it was ordered that the proceed ings of this Convention be turuisl.ed to the American and Opposition papers of this District for publication, and that all papers, throughou* the State, favorable to our cause, be requested to copy. Ou motion, the thanks of the Convention were tendered to its officers for the faithful discharge of iheir duties. On motion, the Convention adjourned sine die. Immediately after the adjournment of the Convention loui calls were made for Col. Pee ples, ol Monroe, who responded in a speech re plete with stubborn facts going to show the recreancy of the National Democracy to all their pledges. L. T. DOYAL, President. E.

Hood, \ secretaries. 4th District. —An Opposition Congression al Convention was held at Newnnn, Ga.,on the 29th ult., for the purpose of nominating n candidate for Congress from the 4tli Dis triet, which resulted in the unanimous nom ination of Col. W. F. Wriglit, of Newnnn, as the standard bearer of the Opposition Party of the District. This Convention seems to have been composed of various el ements of all pre-existing parties, who have united with the view of an effective opposi tion to the present National and State Ad ministrations. Hence, there was a decided yielding of prcjudieces and predilectiions, at least, ou one side, and a compromise of eve rything i?i the way of a cordial union of the Opposition forces. The Atlanta American has the following comment on the proceed ings of the Convention: ‘‘The report of the Committee was unani mously adopted—gave universal satisfaction, arid embraces a code of principles National enough to secure the support of all true pa triots w herever founl. und yet the language is firm, temperate and unmistakable in ref erence to Southern interests, rights and rem edies. Old Lino Whigs, Old Line Demo crats, straight-out Americans, and Southe rn Rights Men of all parties, can mount platform without any sacrifice of pri„ cl - p, or self respect, and fight under its ban npT / With such a Leader and such a Platform victory will crown our efforts, if th ov pqnn j the gallantry and loyalty of the sor n j er ‘ anf | the strength, breadth and perfectn esg 0 f latter.

This harmony of sentiment and cordiality of ac tion, was unaffected nrul sinp( . !m(1 win prove a tower of Btrength in thecanvass now opening, and figures a compile and deci ded triumph. AY e have no right, perhaps, to demur to the statement hero made, that there was nothing in thedemands madeby the “South ern Rights Democrats” to “mortify the feel ings and self-respect of those of whom they were made,” but wo can but consider the 4th Resolution as calculated to injure the feel ings of many of the opposition in the State and District. That resolution is as follows : Resolved. That the South lias nothing to hope from the Republican and Democratic parties, and a true devotion to the welfare of our own section requires us to oppose both ; and that this Convention will neither en dorse, sympathise or affiliate with, the Squat ter Sovereignty policy of Stephen A. Doug las, or the Free Soil affinities of Bell, Crit tenden and Houston, and all others who op posed the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton Constitution, We do not regard Messrs. Bell and Crit tenden as justly obnoxious to this denuncia tion, and regret to see that the “Americans” of the Convention did not strike out that part of the Report, ns ill-advised and un necessary. AVe could not so stultify our selves as to have voted any disrespect for such eminent and incorruptible statesmen, however much we may differ from them in one or two particulars. An Explanation. From the following recent article in the Columbus Enquirer, we are pleased to learn that there will bo no lukewarmness in the cause on the part of that Journal, should the Opposition Convention think it !>est to nom inate a candidate for Governor, in opposition to Joseph E. Brown. Os course, we are not disposed to setup a candidate in opposition to the will of a majority of the party in Conven tion assembled, but will cheerfully yield our opinion in the matter to that majority. AVe would have our frieuds remember, however, how much darker were the prospects of our side in the Scott campaign than at present, and how strong was the opposition vote, notwithstanding the split in the Whig ranks. And again, when Judge Andrews was the American candidate, and Oberly ran on the Temperance sensation, how small was John son’s majority in the State. Under these circumstances, wc are for a full ticket, from Governor down, and feel that it would be a degrading humiliation to allow “ sir-rcc bob ” Joseph to walk over the track, with out a show of opposition ! But to the nrtiele ‘ of the Enquirer: Opposition Candidatk. —The Columbus Enquirer, Macon Journal & Messenger, Mil ledger ille Southern Recorder, and Sum ter Republican, are opposed to running a candidate in opposition to Governor Brown. , [ Times. i Our neighbor is slightly mistaken, as it will see by a re-perusal of our articles. We merely contended that inasmuch as the Democratic Convention hud failed to en i dorse asingleaetof the Federal Administra ! tion, or to connect Gov. Brown in any way with it or with anv issue of Federal policy, we did not think that the Opposition was any longer ‘-challenged” to a contest of this kind ; and that as our Convention had been | called to take the subject of a nomination in ’ to consideration, in view of all the circum - I stances of the case, we doubted the policy of I its making a party nomination and institu ; ting a National party test for this election. We never expressed opposition to the run ning ot some candidate against Gov. Brown ; on the contrary, we simply wanted the can didate brought out in some way to beat Gov. llroim. The Governor’s party friends having avoided a contest on National issues, and having presented him on the merits of his Adininstration alone, with a view of thereby securing for him the votes of all— both Ilemocrats and Oppositionists—who approve his State policy, we want now to see an organization formed against him which will embrace all who oppose his course as Governor, he they Oppositionists or Dem ocrats. This object may not be attained if we make an exclusive party nomination, and we therefore want our friends to go to M il ledgeville, feeling themselves miinstructed and at perfect liberty to nominate or not as to them may seem best. The Southern Recorder goes farther and discountenances opposition in any way to Gov. Brown ; but, like us, it announces that ; on a question of party expediency, like this; ] it will go with the majority of its friends. The Journal Messenger has for some time deprecated opposition to Gov. Brown, aud will probably refuse to support an Op position nominee should ono be brought out bv the Convention. Wei have not seen any late expression of opinion on the subject by the Sumter Re publican. Opposition Cand date. The Columbus Enquirer intimates that we may not support an Opposition candidate for Governor. The call for a meeting in this county, to appoint Delegates to an Opposi tion Convention, was made in such terms and under such circumstances as to preclude our participating in the movement without sacrificing our self-respect. We are there fore entirely free to follow our own inclina tions upon the subject, and adhere to the American party, until wo find a better one. [Journal Jf Messenger, 6 ih. We copy the above paragraph merely to correct the impression sought to be convey ed by our neighbor, that the “ terms and circumstances” of the call for an Opposition County Meeting, in Bibb, were unusual or improper. The Journal & Messenger had previously given its adhesion to Governor Brown, or squinted awfully that way, and its saintly editor was absent, luxuriating in Tennessee, or North Georgia, when several gentlemen suggested to us the propriety of calling a meeting for this county. This we did in the following terms : Opposition Meeting. There will be a meeting of the Americans, Whigs and such Democrats as are opposed to the present State and National Adminis trations, at the Court House, in Macon, on Saturday, the 18th June, at 11 o'clock, A. M., for the purpose of appointing Delegates to represent the County of Bibb, in the Con gressional and Gubernatorial conventions shortly to convene. Comeone! Comeall! And now the question arises, had we the right to make this call or had we not, with out consultation with the “Journal <& Mes senger.” The Editor of that paper had the right to attend or stay away, according to his affinities, but hehas no right either to com plain of the “terms and circumstances” of the call, or to insinuate something wrong in the matter, which lie has not the moral courage to avow, openly. As to the call it self, we have as yet heard of no exception being taken to it, except by the Journal & Messenger, but in what the exception con sists, or wherein it has any pertinency, no body neither knows or cares! In any view of the matter, it is no sort of consequence to anybody or any party, to which quarter of the political horizon the weather-cock of that concern points. It is decided in noth ing but its wishy-washy sanctimonious gib berish and its sell-complacent inanity.

It appears that she had been out with a fishing party, and on returning home in the afternoon, accidently stepped upon the monster. ’The snake immedi ately” inserted his deadly-envenomed fangs into her left foot. She was taken home as soon as possible, and the toua.l remedies applied, but w ithout effect.— the poison infused itself rapidly into the system and could not be checked, i She suffered intensely, but most of the j time unconsciously. The young lady j was just eighteen years old, and was beloved m the community In which she lived. — Columbus Times 4 ih inst. Terrible Crimes — Strangling Three Children. Within a period embracing! from the April last,Mr. Benjamin I. Iler ring and w ife have lost three children, j all of whom were found dead on their return after a short absence from home. Ihe lust was found dea l in the yard a bout two weeks since, aged about two years. The other was found dead in the same location, all young. A negro girl, slave, about 12 years of age, named Es- her, who was hired by Mrs. Herring, is now in jail, having been arrested on sus picion of being guilty of the crime.

Few men speak to be understood, fewer wish to be understood as they speak; the tongue and the heart are usually at variance. Round dealing is the honor of man’s nature; and a mixture ot falsehood is like alloy in gold and silver, may make tho metal work better, but it edhaseth it. The noisy patriot, and the violent enthusiast in religion, seldom have any real love for their country, or their God. In attempting to deceive others, we deceive ourselves; hypocrisy was never productive ot promised advantages. For Young Married Folks.— We notice among the latest inventions, a self-rocking cra dle.

The fesfjva’, at Augusta, on Saturday last in honor of Hon. A- 11. Stephens, was a bril liant a flair, and worthy of an extended no tice, from the developments of opinion made by the honorable gentleman, on formally re tiring from public life. P*.ssiug the expres sion of liis gratitude for the confidence be stowed by his constituency of the Bth D s trict. and the review of his own political career, “not a single act of which he would change,” we give his views, on several topics of importance uovv occupying the public at tention : ON the stats. of tiie cocntrt. Mr. S. said, another source of gratification is in the fact that he leaves the country in as good condition as he found it—much better, in fact, and materially advanced in all the elements of wealth and power. Our commerce has extended, and empire increased —in all the e’ements of prosperity we have made stepsc>f marked and unpre cedented progress. Since his debut in pub lic life—in the legislature of G orgia—our own condition lias improved asjf by magic, although we pass along, hardly noticing them. He alluded, as an example, to our colleges. When he first came upon the stage of public life there was but one university, or male college in the State; there was not a femal college in the whole world. Georgia was the first to establish and endow colleges for women. The Macon Female College was the first of its kind in the world; and, though ridiculed and laughed at, he advocated it in the legislature of Georgia, and aided in iis establishment. The fruits of these new lights, which have sprung up all over the State, will be reaped hereafter. Anti though ! Georgia was, indeed, an E npire of interna! mproveinents, aud though w c might pile all ! her improvements upon each other, on the ton ot all will stand the honor of leading in ilie cause of female education. (Applause ) In a word, then, he leaves all, socially and materially, in national power and greatness, in as good condition as he found it. On the subject of the power of Congress over Slavery in the Territories, Mr. S. said ‘ He believed truth would triumph; all the South wants is decision, union, patriotism ; he belived in the power and omnipotence of truth, and would ask for nothing wrong.— The great principle to be carried out is ex pansion—the right of the people of the South to go to the Territories with their slave property, protected by the Constitu tion, on a platform of equal rights. The question was fully settled as a princi ple, that Congress should make no discrim ination in regard to sectional rights in the Territories ; but that the people of each Ter ritory, when about to form a Constitution as a State, should decide for themselves whetlieryhey should come into the Union ; as a free or slave State. The Missouri compromise doctrine, the Texas doctrine, the Territorial doctrine of Ruius King in IS 17, have all been abandoned. In the admission o; this principle, it was not a triumph of justice, truth, and right. The settlement whs fully up to the demands of the South. She never a:-ks but for what is | right. The principle is uow settled that Con gress shall abstain from all legislation on the subject of slavery iu the Territories, whether as to the North or the South—and the Ter ritories are now open to all sections, and have the privilege of adopting slavery or not, as the people may choose, when they come to form a Constitution. These measures, however, did not go as for as lie wished; he would have Congress to give protection to slave property in the public domain as long as it remained in a Territorial condition. A majority at the South differed with him—not more than twenty-five men m Cot gress agreed with him—but he finally yielded to the doctrine of non-intervention, because it was not aggiessive; and because it secured lor all practical purposes what we wanted. If climate and soil do not favor ) slavery, it vviil not go into the Territories, j Many thought all the discussion ou the slavery question had nothing in it; slavery wouldn’t go to Kansas, Nebraska, &c.; what harm would be done if the Wilmot Proviso wrs passed? It is true, it was an abstract principle which had been gained; but some of the greatest questions in the governments of the world have been abstract. He would advise as strong resistance to abstract as to practical questions. Nations which submit to abstract questions of wrong will not long maintain their independence. Let no man, ■ then,sy that all their discussion about slave- I ry in the Territories was f>r personal mo tives, and that all the details amounted to notin’ng. Fates of empires have been settled by ab stract questions. The Dred Scott decision was only in regard to one slave; but it con tained an abstract question of great impor tance. Mr. Stephens cited several law cases where the interests immediately at stake were small, but wherein great abstract prin j eiples were contained; and ssked where would have been the Dred Scott decision • but for the debate in Cungiess? Let no man | place too light an estimate upon theoretical i questions. He cited our own Revolution, which, as Mr. Webster says, was “fought upon a preamble.” The demands of the colonies lor the removal of the tea and stamp duties were granted by the British govern ment; but the right of taxation was asser ted in the very act of rev. cation—and upon that the Revolution was fough*. Mr. Stephens here paid a passing compliment to Ireland and her patriots and orators—and quoted the language of Edmund Burke in regard to the action of the British government. On the same principle, let no one be deceived, or place too small an estimate on public men m their discussions—even when they threat en a dissolution ot the Union, and even on ; an abstract principle. He would not advise the South, or any portion of the confederacy to remain members <.f a body in which they were not equal in all the principle* of justice. IIIS SENTIMENTS AS TO THE FUTURE, j He liad been asked, what are the pros pects for th<> future ; what is to become of the anti-slavery sentiment at the North; and whether slavery is as secure as it was? As he said in 1850, he would repeat now; there is very little prospect of ilie South settling any teni ory outside cl Texas, in fact, little or no prospect at all, unless we in crease our Afr ican stock, j This question his hearers should examine in its length and breadth; he would do nothing more than present it; but it is as plain as anything that unless the number of African stock be increased, we have not the population, and might as well abandon the race With our brethren of the North in the colonization of the territories. It was not for him to advise on these questions, he only presented them ; the people should ! think and act upon them. If there are but i few more slave States, it is not because of Abolitionism or Wilniot Proviso, but simply for the want of people to sett’e them. Can not make States without people; rivers and mountains do not make them; and slave States cannot be made without Africans. I am not telling you, said he, to do it, but it is a serious question concerning our politi cal and domestic policy; and we do not want votcis and dtcianners so much as thinkers and reasoneis. It is useless to wage war about abstract rights, or to quarrel and accuse each other of uusoundness, unless we get more Africans. Many hud asked him what lie thought of public sentiment on this question? He would reply, that the inst tution of slavery is now stronger than it was sixteen ye rs ago, when he entered Congress. Nothing improved like it—and it is now fixed firm ami secure in I is position. lu his judgment, ours is the cnly govern ment consistent with nature. He did not agree with some as to the manuer of meet ing our opponents; while many persons were offended and astonished at the higher law doctrine of Seward, he believed, himself, in a higher law. He believed in a higher law’ of the Creator, and the Constitution must sustain and rest upon this higher law. The opponents of slavery were endeavoring to make things equal (black and white people) which the Creator had made unequal. Our opponents, then, are warrmg agaiust a prin ciple, while we are warring for it Negro slavery i but in its infancy—it is a mere problem in our government; our fathers did nt understand it I grant that all the public men of the South were once against it; but they didn't understand it It is for us to meet questions w r ith the firmness which they did. The problem is yet unsolved. • Ours is 1 not only the best but it is the only govem ’ ment founded upon tHb principles of nature. ! Aristotle aud other ancient, philosophers had tailed in their theories of government.— I Gradation is seen in everything in nature— in the flowery world, from the japonic* down to the violet, in the vegetable king- ! dotn, in the stars, and even in men. All government comes from the Creator. States men never looked to this principle of grada tion, but our government is the only one founded on it; and our {policy, our institu tion?. and Alrtcan slavery is founded on it. It is not for ns to enquire into the great mys tenesof nature ; and it is most foolish to at tempt to make things better than God made them. (Applause.) Statesim n and private men should take things as God founded them; making the greatest amount of happiutss out ot the ele ments.which we possess. We ought to in ciease and expand our institutions. If they do nut increase the amount of happiness to all—black and white—then, they ought to , tie abandoned. He repudiated the doctrine of the greatest happiness to the greatest number. One hundred persons luve no risrht to have happiness at the expense and injury of niuety-nine. If slavery is not best for the African, and doesn’t increase his hap piness, it ought to be abolished. If it does, (hen our institutions are founded in nature— we are fulfilling our destiny and we should stand upon this higher law. He wouldn’t support a Constitution that was inconsistent with the hi-her law of nature. And until the “leopatd c-m change his spots, or the Ethiop his skin,” don't tell me, said he, that it is unlawful to hold slaves. He had been asked, with these v : ews what is to become of the country? Fanaticism might be spreading at the North ; but slave | ry is getting stronger, and will continue to get stronger whether iu the Union or out of it. | If the worst must come, let it come—he was not afraid of the consequences; in or out of the Union slavery will grow strong as time goes on. j When he entered Congress, the Missouri Compromise excluded slavery from the Ter ritories; now, it is not excluded from a por- I tion of land over which floats our national flag! He alluded to the anti-slavery sentiment which prevailed in Virginia in the early days of the Commonwealth; and argued ihat it is useless to war against the progress of events. Every restriction has been taken off of slavery ; a fugitive slave law has been granted. There are more men at the North to-day who believe in the social and moral condition of slavery than when lie went to Congress. Wilberforce's theory has failed; Cailyle has repudiated his abolition doc trine?; and even the London Times has par tially kept up with him in his opinions. Free dom for the negro has been tried in the West India island, and failed, and the defect is now attempted to be remedied by the introduc tion of Chinese coolie?, under the title of •‘apprentices.” They bad better resort to the original state of things. ACQUISITION OF CUBA, AC. Mr. S said, with otir constitutional rights, and with the present principles of political f policy, in his judgment, we are just as safe, and even safer than we ever were. We must remain united; if we are ever divided, our day of doom will surely come. All na tions when they cease to grow begin to die: we should then endeavor to expan i ana grow. Central America, Mexico, are all open to us. He does not believe that the . j country is large enough ; but believes that a diveisity of interests will strengthen the government better than if all were homoge nous. He looks forward in the future to the acquisition of Cuba; but was never in favor of paying Spain much inoDey for it—not more than one or two millions of dollars.— If Cuba wants to come into the Union, he would not ask Spain; but would be in favor of repealing the neutrality laws, so as to give our people a chance to help her in her wish. He saw no reason why we shou’d pay | thirty millions for it; we have already spent several millions in preventing Americans from goiug to Cuba—and he wants the Uni ted States to quit holding the island, while Spain skins it. From the foregoing, we deduce that Mr. Stephens is in favor of Congress giving pro tection to slave property in the public do- j main, as long as it remained in a territorial condition—is in favor of disunion unless the South can remain as equals in all the princi ples of justice—is in favor of re-opening the African slate trade —to increase our African stock : otherwise there is no hope of any more Southern States outside of Texas, be ! cause we “cannot make slave States without Africans”—is in favor of e.rjxinsion and ! growth in the direction of Central America, &c., and of allowing Cuba to come in and to assist her to do so, not by paying a large j price, but by repealing the neutrality laws, I “so as to give our people a chance to help her in her wish” to join the Union! Pretty well done—very w 7 ell done, Mr. | Stephens ! That sort of talk suits us, ex actly. We are exceedingly gratified to find i somitch in the honorable gentleman’s speech to commend and so little to disapprove!— i Hurrah for “little Aleck!” THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE, ARRIVAL OF TIIE YAXDERBILT.
