Whereas, we wish our delegates to pursue a :, but not to p.'onge the State into difficulty by the adoption of any rash or uncon stitutional measures, but, aa other States are equal ly interested, to adopt such measures of redress for the wrong* perpetrated upon our rights and inter ests by the .Northern Stale*, aa that they will cor dially co-ojierate with us in carrying out the tneas- find to be expedient; and that win State, to be a violation ol the rights of the South, and in direct violation of the principles of nt fervent ion, yet, hir ilia asks ot the preaervat ibis Union, we will acquiesce in the late coinpri of that question, aa passed by C’ongiess: 1st Resulted, That conlederacy regard our glorious Union as sacred, purchased by the blood of our fathers, we will nev er consent to dissolution, so long as our Federal Constitution is fairly and rightfully administered. ‘2d Resulted, That we hold ourselves in readi ness, at all times, and to the utmost extremity, to maintain the rights, equality and honor of the Sooth. 3ii. Resulted, That we approve of the action of. Governor Towns in calling the Convention of the people, and that to do otherwise is to condemn a faitlitul officer tor obeying the orders of the |ieop!e, through their lawful representatives. 4Ik. Resulted, That we claim that the fniuth paid more than her share of the blood and treasure spent in the conquest of Mexico, aud expects and is wil ling (o pay her full share of the debt contracted in consequence ol it; but we protest against the insult •nd injustice perpetrated in depriving us of all share in the fruit* ol victory. btk. Resulted, That we protest against the as sumption, by the general government, of any pow- t of the people of thi farther than is authorized by a strict construction of the Constitution. Gth. Resulted, That litis government is a demo cratic republic,in which the voiced the people is potential; that, therefore, we protest against all at tempts by caucuses, or otherwise, to forestal public opiniou, as anti-republican and tending to put the purse, which is the property of the people, in the hands of • few interested men. Ilk. Resulted, That we pledge onrselves not to support any candidate for the Convention, who will nut promise to exert his best endeavors to secure such action on the part of the State of Georgia aa will give indubitable evidence of her determination to maintain her own dignity, honor and right*. 8lk. Revolted, That we would rccuunnenJ to the citizens of tbi* State, to encourage our home in case, if possible, to encourage Southern labor and patronage. •* Ceaseless vigilence is the price of freedom !** The meeting was then entertained by a short and feeling speech by Gen. Cleveland, who expressed him>elf warmly attached to the Union, yet li ready to make any sacrifice lor the right* am or of the South, and advised (hat the Convi should be characterised by mild but firm and decid- ince the people that they had nothing to com plain oC la thi* the manner in which we are to be reasoned with ; in one breath to tell the North you have wronged us, and in the next to tell the South yon have triumphed ? Protest against what? against a triumph? Again, Ben Sheats said we h.ive been battling for the last fifty year* for an effectual law for the recovery of our runa way slaves, and said, by this last Congress we had gotten the fugitive slate bill, and claimed it as a iclory. My God S has it come to this j that we mat string from the North, at the end of a fifty year* contest, a dear Constitutional obligation, md call it a victory ? Ha* it come to this, that ve must sing pecan* of praise, when the North con descends to give ns our right* ? I have been ask ed to put my finger upon a letter of the Constitu tion that wa* violated in the manner in which Calitnrnia wa* admitted. In the treaty by which we acquired California, Utah and New Mexico, we entered into a solemn obligation to organize a Government for these Territories, to protect the live* and property of their citizens; and as soon as the purchase money waa paid, Mr. Polk sent a iMtmge to CongroM, telling -them tlie military Government lie h*d established in California was at an end, and urged them to organize a territo rial Government for California—to remove all re strictions, and let tlie North and the South go and occupy it conjointly. Why waa it not done?— Because the North insisted that the Wilmit Pro viso should be engrafted upon it. I assert it. an challenge contradiction, that it was hostility t slavery and Southern rights, that prevented thi bill from passing for the last two year*,and caused us to prove false to our treaty stipulations, thi* honorable to u* a* a great Nation ? Wj just to the South ? And do we intend, by sub mission, to establish the precedent, that when Ter ritory is acquired by the joint effort and joint trea sure of the North and tlie South, that the North shall keep us off by a threat of the Wilmot Provist until she can send a population there, sufficient t< form a state government, and exclude us by a stati Constitution ? Was this not discriminating in fa vor of the North, and to the prejudice of the South ? VVas this treating us as equals? And yet this has actually been done. And we are called up on to acquiesce without a murmur. Oil, God? what degenerate sons of a spirited ancestry!

The scheme is to make Cass Presi dent and Cobb Vice President, with the Presidency itself in accidency. That is, Cas* is to die soon af- induction into office, and Cobb is ta be the accidesital Chief Magistrate. The first step towards this consummation, is the Athens Dinner. Mr. Ccbb has been striving for years to recommend himself to the National Free Soil Democrats. He voted for the Oregon bill, and refused to sign the Southern Address. For this, the National Free Soil Democrats rewarded him with the Speaker- ship.

It has contended that the terra was a misnomer,—that compromise, in this in stance, meant imposition upon the South ol measures which she regarded as derogatory to her political equality in the sisterhood of States,— that tlie representatives in Congress, of interests adverse to our own, had yielded to the omnipotence of popular will among their constituents, acting upon the principle of Rob Ray, that hall decide^on the mode be adopted, to relieve themselves from the in sults and aggressions of a reckless majority, it ill be found as firm and unyielding in the cause, i if its columns Imd teemed for years with dc- gainstsuch unjustifiable assaults.— Although the Cm.

The first twenty days of her illne**, she was calm and'serene, and etadured her affliction with that forti tude which ever characterizes the humble believer in Christ. On the 20th day, she evinced, from five days of her illness, except at short interval*. The night before she died, she awoke up. as it were, in her right mind, at which time, she no doubt, had a glori ed her eyas’ toward Heaven with a bright seraphic gleam upon her countenance, and exclaimed' in a -■ *’*-•- * ' —“ there is Lucy Anna iza!" iweet and audible ti numbers than intellect, in which fanatical zeal must needs find a mouth to speak. Forgetting no less “ obedience to the power* that he,” than the “charity which bopeth all things and endureth all things,” these religious assemblies would seem de termined tu out Herod Herod in their hatred of slavery, and by their unhallowed fanaticism, would seem to have surrendered their consciences as vic tims to passions in which the arch fiend would de light to triumph. Pnblic feeling, such as we have thas endeavored to describe it, must needs work out its direlul end. Passions thus strong will at tain theobjeet they seek. What is that object? Is it the nullification of that generous measure yclept tbe fugitive slave bill, which the North, in tbe benevolence of ber concessions, was gracious ly pleased, in the late Congress, to bestow npon the South. It is the erasure from tbe statute book of the only feature which could have secured the passage by Congress of the other obnoxious bills, and which the North thus gave to the South as a sweet plant to tempt her in swallowing tbe pills which accompanied the offer. What tbe South wiH do, when this measure is consummated, remains to be seen. If the big talk ia which most Southern men indulge in con templation of such an event be tbe criterion of the action which woold follow, vre would rely with confidence apon the*coarse which the Sooth would pursue.
