efthe South, not to enter a National Convention
for the purpose of nominating candidates for Presi
dent and Vice President and that the slaveholding
•tales meet in a semi-national Convention or Con
gress, with the view and intention of arresting
farther aggression upon us, and if this cannot be
done, of providing for the future safety and inde
pendence of the Union.
Here is the Nashville Convention platform—
Whit do the tvhmissionisls of Georgia think of
it? Those, who have nil ulong l»cen denouncing it
•s unhallowed—its advocates and friends as disor-
ganizen and ultras—its object, as a dissolution of
the Union, and the destruction of the constitution—
What think they ol the platform ?
We know not how low down in the dost—how
much Mien and weakened they are in the spirit
which should animate the breasts of southern men,
but if this platform cannot rally the submission
party to its support, we have no hopes of its ever
being brought over from the mild, gentle acquies
cence which so greatly, so entirely characterizes
it. We have never thonght, however, that the
submissionists loved submission per se T here is
something in it too humiliating, too simile, too
low for freemen. And they have now an opportu
nity of leaving its ranks and rallying to those of a
party, which counsels to anything but fame submis
sion to gross sod unconstitutional wrongs.
The resolutions of the Nashville Convention
famish the basis of the Snul'iem Rights party.—
They should meet with the approbation and enlist
the support of every true friend ot the South. No
objection can he found to them. Analyi
Iutions aa you may—look at them in every point
of view, and the wisdom and moderation of their
•entioioDt* is. the more apparent and the more
striking. They lavor the Union as it should be,
a Union of equals under a common bond, and re
commend that the Southern States meet in
general Convention for tire purpose of securing
the equal rights to which they are justly entitled*.
We ask, then, of every reader, if this object I
^0iRe successfully carried out, will not the Nash-
villo convention eventuate in great bone (it to our'
section ? Is there one among us who is not fully
prepared logire its action the meed of his entire
approbation ? If it will but meet with the assent
of the several legislatures ol the Southern States,
and a full delegation from each be appointed, we
have strong hopes that tho Sonth in this way,
would be placed upon high and commanding
ground. Wc need only Union among ourselva to
obtain justice in the Union. We and others
have labored long to bring about this unanimity of
feeling among tbe people of Georgia. The result
is becoming every day, more and more apparent.
The people of the South will ye: act as one man.
But more especially will this be the case, should
the counsels of the Nashville Convention be heed
ed by the Southern people. The plan it proposes
to bring about this union among ourselves is by
far the most easiest and practicable. Delegates
are appointed from every Southern member of the
Confederacy under the broad seal of tbe State —
they meet—they consult and reason together apoB
the pretent condition and future prospects of the
8outh—they weigh calmly and patiently all the
various plans for her security—they conclude
their labors by the adoption of a piatlorm setting
Jorth the just and equal rights of the South aud
protesting against tbe infliction of further wrong*.
Is it not evident that this couree would unite the
people ot the South in her defence snd for her
own protection? Is not this recommendation
marked by wisdom, justice and tbe greatest moder
ation ? Does it not commend itself to the favor
of every true-hearted Southerner?
We believe it is the best policy the South can
pursue for her safety at this crisis. It will secure
..a Union of the South for tbe sake of the South.—
• This is what is so greatly needed. The want of
it heretofore has been * tbe direful spring of woes
unnumbered*’ to our section of tbe Union- How
•Busy to remedy this! • The"- North would fear to
trespass upon a United South. A united South
. could DEMAND hey sights ot the. North and more
than this, OBTAIN THEM. Let . the State then
act upon the recommendation of the Convention.
, Let delegates be.ppointed upon tbe par; of Geor
gia. Lei us endeavor to obtain unanimity of feel
ing and unity of actiea at the. South. Thia will

iy home, has kindly forwarded us a tele
graphic despatch from Atlanta? famishing cheer
ing and important intelligence from Mississippi.—■
A telegraphic despatch from Jackson, Mississippi,
was received at Nashville, on the day of tbe ad
journment, saluting the Convention with three
cheers in the name of Mississippi, and stating that
the Legislature had convened; that Gov. Quitman’s
message was “ all right,” and that forty thousand
copies of it had been ordered to be published.—
The “ Great Union Meeting” at which Gen. Foote
was to make his grand effort to sustain himself,
had proved to be a failure, and the Southern Rights
Party were fn high spirits.
Tbe Memphis Eagle mentions a fact posses
sing unusual interest at this time. A gentleman
in (hat vicinity lately emancipated bis slave
in number. A place for their future residem
been purchased in Illinois, a passage secured for
them in a boat ready to start, and the money paid,
when the slaves clamorously entreated for permis
sion to remain. They were warned that if
granted they would continue in servitude, but they
protested that this was what they desired, and
ingly returned to their former homes, wh
they “are now at work as busy and cheerful
bees.’’ This tarnishes but another proof of the
fact that tho negroes of the South are more con
tcntcdwnd comfortable than any other laboring clap
on the face of the globe.
War in Uayti.—Advices ftoir Jcrcmic, Ifajt
to the 15th ol October, state that hostilities have
actually commenced between the Hayticns and
Dominicans. On the 9th ult, as the vanguard of
Sclouque's army was decending the Pass of Boni-
ca, they were attacked by about 500 Dominican
troops, who drove the Haytiens with terrible
slaughter. The announcement of this defile skir
mish caused much uneasiness to the Emperor, who
marched on the 11th from Petit Goa ve, at the head
of his stafT,and 400 of his Guards, to take the field
in person against the Dominicans. In addition to
the above defeat, allaytien brfg-of-war, with 150
men on board, was captured off Scott's Bay, by two
Dominican schooners of war or gun boats, and
carried aa a trophy into Macao Roadstead. These
hostilities have had a very disastrous effect on the
trade of the Island. There was no coffee to be
had, and the cutting of logwood and mahogany

Botany Bat” is North America.—It is
mated by the London Daily News, that the British
Government will probably make a purchase of the
Island of Auticorli, in the Gulf of St. Lswr
villi the design of establishing upon it a colony of
wnvicts, to answer the purposes of the United
Kingdom and of tbe Provinces. Tbe Island
from 90 to 100 miles long and 20 or 25 miles
width, uninhabited, situated at the month of the
St. Lawrence, and regarded as a dangcroui
obstacle to navigation, fn case the project above
iferred to is carried out, it is said the British Gov
ernment will construct a harbor there, by convict
labor, in order to render it attractive to shipping.
Another motive to the enterprise, is the cheapness
of transporting convicts to the island, as compared
with the cost of conveying them to Van Dieman"
Land.
eral land ? Was this done 1 Instead of that they
invited to come, and they did come from Eu
rope, Asia, Africa, South America, and every part
of this inhabitable Globe, Mexicans, Indians, Chi-
sse, Jews and Gentiles, seized upon onr properly,
rganized a state government, and excluded from
California who? The North and Foreigners?—
No, they are invited to come and participate, but it
you and I who fought for it, and paid for it. Is
this right ? Is this justice ?
Had California been organized into a Territo-
torial Government, and the Mexican Laws abolish
ing slavery been repealed, there would before
this have been one hundred thousand negro fel
lows in the rich mines of California, making from
5 to 10 ihousand dollars a year, and enhancing
our properly at home at feast fifty per cent; and
the rich treasures which are now flowing into the
pockets of the North, and to the North, and to the
various extremities of this wide world, would now
be crowning the efforts of Southern men. Ami
because we complain at this outrage we are told
we are contending for an abstraction. A beautiful
abstraction, an abstraction by which we arc cheat
ed and defrauded. California is gone, but we are
told we have gotten Utah and New Mexico. Let
us see how much. When we purchased from
Mexicothese Territories, there was a statute law
in force prohibiting slavery. But Mr. Clay—the
whole North, with one nnitei voice, and your
great Union champions, Toombs and Steph
say these laws are still in force, and will continue
; in force until repealed by Congress. Well, the
last Congress organized governments lor Utah and
Mexico. But did she repeal those statute
? The North was asked to do so, but
lused. It follows therefore as a necessary conse
quence, that the South is excluded from the whole
of our newly acquired territory. And yet Toombs
is insulting us by saying that the South has gottop
all she asked, or had a right to expect. And the
Howell Cobb, in his address to tbe citizens
of Athens, told them the South had gained a tri
umph. Yes, a glorious triumph in which the
North lias gained all, and the South lost every
thing. And because some of us have the boldness ! Governor Rumsey writes from Min no?
