Dispatches received from St. Louis an
nounce tho gratifying intelligence that
the weather is moderating, and that there
is a favorable prospect of a speedy open
ing of navigation. This done, wc may
look for a favorable turn for consumers,
in the price of grain which is now ranging
very high owing no doubt greatly to the
check on transportation to western rivers.
Careless Driving.
1 he Savannah Republican says, u car
riage was nearly driven over a man at
the corner of Bay and Bull streets, yes
terday afternoon; lortuuately tho man
was so active and strong, that his hold on
the trout ot tho pole, did not break until
tho horses could bo checked. He escaped
without injury, though for a moment his
positiou was a foarful one, with the
horses apparently trampling on him.
Selma and Gulf Rail Road.
The Selma Reporter states that at a
meeting of tho Directors of this Compa
ny, at Allenton (Ala.) last week, it wag
ascertained that moro than the amount
necessary to commence tho work of con
struction, had been subscribed in cash
subscriptions. This road, when comple
ted, will be a very important one to Ala
bama and Selma, and Pensacola particu
iaily, as it will put the latter place iu
communication by rail with Middle and
North Alabama, and Tennessee.
Cliattanoogn Bacon Market.,
The Advertiser of the 12th says Bacon
as yet is hardly quotable, very little
now being on the market. We know of
none except a small lot upon a flat boat, for
which tho holder is asking 10 cents the
hog round. Hogs are passing not so
freely as last month. Tho shipments
from Chattanooga Depot over the W. &
A. R. R., up to January 1, 1800, are
20,025 against 14,980, to January, 1,
1859. Asa general thing the hogs that
have been shipped the past season, have
been smaller and not so well fattened as
those of the former season. Messrs.
Chandler & McCamy have slaughtered
and packed about G,OO0 —this is a heavy
falling off from former seasons. As yet
we can give no reliable conjecture as to
what will be the opening price for new
bacon.
Tennessee WLeat Prospects.
The Chattanooga Advertiser of the
12th says we have conversed with several
gentlemen from adjoining and surround
ing counties, and without a solitary ex
ception, all unite iu representing the
prospective Wheat crop as very unprom
ising. Several informed us that they
had seen acres upon acres entirely and
effectually killed out by frost. The win
ter Ims been au unfavorable one, and the
disparaging prospect of the next years
crop, have a decided influence upon the
ruling prices of grains now upon the
market. Wheat, the naked grain, with
out sacks, is now selling readily at $1.25,
and Corn, the naked grain, at G 5 cents.

There is an unusual crowd of delegates
already here. Every county in the State
is represented, and several counties send
two sets of delegates.
A greatly embittered feeling prevails
between the Douglas and Administration
Democrats, and a stormy time is antici
pated.

chester, Conn., caught a horse worth
S2OO, belonging to Wm. A. Williams,
tied a tin pail firmly to his tail and
started him on a run. He was terribly

Military Report In the Alabama
Legislature.
A day or two since we were favored by
Hon. H. D. Clayton with a copy of the
Report made by the Joint Committee of
the two Houses of the Legislature of
Alabama, on the subject of providing for
the defense and protection of the State.
The Report was made by Mr. Clayton
together with a Bill on behaif of the
Joint Committee, and possesses the merit
of being expressed briefly, yet in very
forcible language. It provides for the
organization of a force of 8,000 volun
teers, with provisions for having them
divided and sub-divided, and properly
officered. It is styled the Volunteer
Corps of the State of Alabama, which
is furnished by each County in propor
tion to population. Provision is made
to supply the deficiency in each coun
ty and Brigade in the event of a failure
of either to furnish the number of men
allotted to it.
The Committee also present their views
on the subject of a State Military Acade
my and a Manufactory of arms. The
Committee is an able one and their Re
port affords a very clear basis for the
action of the Legislature. We rejoice to
perceive this evidence of attention to
important subject of State defenses in
our sister State and have no doubt that
by or before the expiration of the sess
ion, the Legislature with the co-opera
tion of the Committee, will elaborate a
system of Military defenses fully ade
quate to all the purposes of it’s estab
lishment. We regret that time and our
Bpace forbids a more extended notice of
this interesting Report.
Rail Road Accident.
A serious accident happened yesterday
morning on the Mobile and Girard Rail
Road, by which an engine was much dam
aged and a man had his arm broken and
otherwise injured. The affair occurred
while two freight trains were running to
a certain point to be switched off, in or
der to let the passenger train, which was
expected to pass, when the engineer of
the one behind, fired up suddenly and
running down on the other, resulted as
above mentioned. The accident is, from
all we learn due entirely to the careless
ness or want of forethought of the engi
neer of the hindmost train.

The edifice of t&e Female College at
Hernando, Mississippi, was destroyed by
fire on the night of the second inst. The
fire broke out in the room of a young lady
boarder about 11 o’clock at night, and
so rapid did it spread through the build
ing, that several of the pupils were some
what injured by the flames, and the prin
cipal had bis bands severely burned in
attempting to remove bis furniture from
the building. A portion of the scientific
apparatus and a part of a very valuable
library was consumed. A large quantity
of the clothing of the pupils, together
with furniture in their rooms was lost.
The loss is stated to be between fifteeen
and twenty thousand dollars.
Tlie Mobile Register.
This paper, conducted by our former
townsman, John Forsyth, Esq., has re
cently doffed its old habiliments, and
now comes to us in a bran new suit, out
and out, and much enlarged. It is now
a large and handsome sheet, and although
we cannot agree with its talented head in
his defence of Douglas, we mu6t accord
to the conduct of the Register signal
ability.

Nearly Completed.
We learn from the Carrolton (Miss.,)
Democrat, that the Mississippi Central
Rail Road is nearly completed. There
only remains a gap of seven miles—four
on the South and three on the North side
of the town of Wenona—to put the trains
over the entire Road. This will make
an unbroken Rail Road connection be
tween New Orleans and New York.
Kentucky Democratic Convention.
Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 10.—The Dem
ocratic State Convention met yesterday,
David Meriwether Chairman. Every
county was fully represented. The fol
lowing delegates were elected to the
Charleston Convention : R. K. Williams,
G. A. Caldwell, John C. Mason, and D.
P. White.
The Committee on Resolutions made
two reports—majority and minority—
both of which endorse the Dred Scott
decision, and express the choice of Ken
tucky for Guthrie as its nominee for the
Presidency. The majority report in
dorses Buchanan; the minority report
declares for Douglas’ popular sovereignty
doctrine,|and deprecates the application
to Congress for legislation in favor of
slavery.
A Cincinnatti paper tells us of the ad
ventures of a young man from the East,
who came to that city for a situation, but
who drank Porkopolis whisky, ran out of
money, and, selling his outfit, started for
New Orleans, resolved to be a man. On
the steamer “Mcl.” fell among thieves,
was robbed, and at New Orleans spent
some time in the Charity Hospital. Re
covering, he started on foot for his home
in Boston, and reached Red river, whence
he took a steamer for Memphis, but was
put off at Natchez, where he became a
hostler. The news of the Harper’s Ferry
affair reached Natchez, and he was ac
cused of being an Abolition emissary.
He rau away to Memphis, thence footed
it to Caroi, enduring all sorts of hard
ships, and thence walked to Paris, Illi
nois, where he found friends, who minis
tered to his every want, and “put him on
his feet” again. A rather hard lesson.
Lynch Law lu Natebez.
Natchez, Jan. 10.—A man by the
name of Switzer was arrested in this
city Saturday last on the charge of at
tempting to commit rape on a little girl
of eleven years, and, amid great excite
ment, taken to prison.
This evening the people more excited
still, assembled in a great crowd, and
marched deliberately to the jail, took
the prisoner from his cell, and hung him
in the court house yard. Everything
passed off quietly, and now at 8 o’clock,
the crowd has dispersed.
Legislative Difficulty In Kansas.
St. Louis, Jan. 9.—The Kansas Terri
torial Legislature passed a joint resolu
tion adjourning to meet at Lecompton,
which Governor Medary vetoed, but the
legislature passed it over the veto by a
two-third vote of a quorum. The ques
tion has now arisen as to the constitu
tionality of this vote. The majority ad
journed to Lawrence, and the minority
remaining at Lecompton. Both factions
claim to be a legal body.
On the evening of the 2d inst., the
ferry boat at Norfolk, Va., was run into
by a steam tug and sunk, when about2oo
yards, from the shore. There were a num
ber of passengers on board, and a wagon
with two horses attached, loaded with
furniture. The passengers and crew
were fortunately rescued by a vessel also
in tow of the steam tug, and the driver of
the wagon before leaving had the fore
thought to unharness the horses, which
were thereby enabled to swim ashore to
the nearest point.

Alabama Democratic Convention.
This body met at 4 o’clock yesterday
afternoon.
On motion of Mr. Nick. Davis, Mr.
Bulger was called to the Chair. But
this did not suit a number of the dele
gates present, and great confusion fol
lowed.
Mr. Yancey moved that Mr. Henry D.
Smith of Lauderdale, be appointed Chair
man, to which a large number of the dele
gates objected. Whereupon, amidst great
coufusiou, the Hon. L. P. Walker moved
that both Mr. Smith and Mr. Bulger
withdraw from the Chairman’s stand,
(for both of them had assumed it,) and
that Mr. Lyon, of Marengo county, be
selected Chairman ; which was carried
by a large majority.
Mr. Lyon took the Chair, and made
only a few remarks—returning his thanks
for the honor conferred. Messrs. Van
Hoose and J. G. Stokes were then ap
pointed temporary Secretaries.
Mr. Clitherall offered the following
resolution:
Rezolved, That if, from any county,
there shall be two or more sets of dele- j
gates to this Convention upon the call of
the counties for the enrollment of dele
gates, none shall be recognized as such,
except those whose seats are not contest
ed—until the claims of the contestants to
seats be passed upon by the Convention,
after the permanent organization shall
have been effected.
Mr. Holcombe, Mr. Yancey, and Gov.
Chapman objected.
Mr. Clitherall then withdrew his reso
lution.
Mr. Yancey made a motion to examine
the credentials of the delegates contesting
seats in the Convention.
Mr. Hilliard rose to a point of order,
and made a speech on Mr. Yancey’s
motion.
This motion then was withdrawn by
Mr. Yancey, and a motion then was made
for the call of counties. The delegates
from the counties enrolled their names.
Mr. Clitherall moved that when there
are no delegates from the counties, the
members of the Legislature representing
these counties should take seats as such.
Judge Meek opposed this resolution
with a speech.
Mr. Clitherall sustained his resolution,
also, with a speech.
He was followed by Mr. Wallace, of
Jackson, objecting.
Gen. Lawler, of Talladega, made this
resolution:
“A committee, consisting of one from
each Congressional District, be appointed
by the Chair, to nominate suitable offi
cers for the Convention.”
(Great confusion here ensued.)
The Rules of the House of Represen
tatives were then adopted by the Conven
tion.
Mr. Clitherall then renewed bis resolu
tion, which was supported by Judge
Martin.
Mr. Lindsay, after giving his reasons,
made a motion to lay Mr. C.’s resolution
on the table. Mr. C. interrupted the
gentleman, and withdrew his resolution.
Mr. Gibson offered the following reso
lution.
“That a committee of one from each
Congressional District be appointed by
the Chair, for the purpose of investigat
ing all cases of contested seats in the
Convention.”
Mr. Hilliard here rose, again, to a
point of order, and made a speech sus
taining his position.
Mr. E. A. Semple moved to adjourn—
negatived by a decided majority.
Mr. Yancey then obtained the floor,
and moved to sustain Mr. Gibson’s reso
lution. (Confusion here followed.)
Judge Walker also spoke in favor of
the committee.
Judge Meek moved that the contested
delegates withdraw, and that the Chair
appoint a committee, who shall examine
their credentials, and report to the Con
vention their decision.
This was unanimously carried.
The committee appointed were Messrs.
Morgan of Dallas, Clayton of Barbour,
J. F. Dowdell of Chambers, Ed. Wallace
of Jackson, E. W. Kennedy of Lauder
dale, A. C. Jones of Green, Floyd Bush
of Calhoun.
Mr. Starke moved to adjourn till 7|
o’clock. CarriCd — Montgomery Confede

On Wednesday evening the Alabama
Democratic Convention was organized by
the nomination and adoption of the fol
lowing officers :

county.
Vice-Presidents, Gen. D. W. Baine,

shall ; Hon. Thos. Wallace, Calhoun.
Secretaries, M. Taul. Talladega; A. E.
Van Hoose, Pickens; J. G. Stokes, Tal
lapoosa; J. H. Caldwell, St. Clair.
Many resolutions were offered and ta
bled.
On Thursday morning Mr. Bulger of
Tallapoosa, Chairman, made the follow
ing report which was adopted:
Resolved, That the several counties
shall be entitled to cast the same number
of votes as were determined by the Con
vention of June, 1857, and if the delega
tion from any county is divided upon any
motion on which the vote is taken by
counties, the vote may be divided among
the delegates in proportion to their num
bers ; Provided that the clause last above
shall not interfere with instructions given
to delegates by the primary meetings of
the several counties.
A resolution was adopted inviting the
Democrats from all Counties which had
not appointed delegates to take seats in
the Convention.
Mr. Robt. G. Scott of Monroo county* in
troduced a series of resolutions—one of
which asserted the right of slavery in
the Territories to Legislative and Con
gressional protection : and the delegates
to the Charleston convention are instruc
ted to insist on this.
It is further announced, that in case
the Charleston convention fails to recog
nize this right, then the delegates from
Alabama are directed to withdraw, and
immediately call together this State con
vention, and make their report accord
ingly.
The resolutions were referred to the
Committee on Platforms, and will be
found below:
Ist. That the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, is a compact between Sover
eign and co-equal States, united upon the
basts of perfect equality of rights and
privileges.
2d. The Territories of the Union are
common property, in which the States
have equal rights, and to which the citi
zens of every State, may rightfully emi
grate with their slaves or other property,
recognized as such in any of the States of
the Union, and by the Constitution of the
United States.
That the Congress of the United States
has no power to abolish slavery in the
Territories, nor to prohibit its introduc
tion into any of them.
4th. That the Territorial Legislatures,
created by the Legislation of Congress,
have no other or greater Constitutional
power, to abolish slavery, or to prohibit
the introduction of the same within the
Territories, than Congress possesses by
the Constitution, and such Constitutional
power only belongs to the people of the
Territories, when in the exercise of lawful
authority they form a State Constitution,
preparatory to their admission into the
Union.
sth. That the true construction of the
decision made by the Supreme Court of
the United States, in the Dred Scott case,
affirms and maintains the doctrines and
principles in the three preeceeding reso
lutions, and we most cordially approve
both the reasoning and conclusion of that
august and pure body of learned and
eminent jurists.
6th. That the rights of person and
property, whether such property consists
of slaves, or other chatties in the Terri
ries of the United States, are constitu
tionally entitled to full, ample and ade
quate protection, through the Legislation
of the Territorial Legislatures thereof,
and they neglecting or refusing by pro
per enactments to afford such protection,
it is the high Constitutional right and
equally the duty of‘Congress, to inter
pose and pass all laws necessary to reme
dy the omission.
7th. That Congress lias no Constutional
authority to abolish slavery within the
District of Columbia
Btb. That we hold all of the foregoing
propositions to contain cardinal princi
ples—true in themselves —and just, and
proper, and necessary for the safety of
all that is dear to us, and we do hereby
instruct our delegates to the Charleston
Convention, to present them for the calm
consideration and adoption of that body
—from whose justice and patriotism we
anticipate their incorporation into the
Democratic creed.
9th. That should our hopes for the
sanction of the principles, set out in the
foregoing resolutions, by the Charleston
Convention be disappointed, it is our sol
emn instruction to our delegates to that
Convention, to take no further part in
the same, nor to unite in any vote nom
inating any one for the Presidency, but
to withdraw from the Convention.
10th. That to meet the unfriendly ac
tion of the Charleston Convention, in re
ference to the foregoing resolutions, and
to be prepared for that event, which we
hope may not occur, the delegates there
to, be and they are hereby authorized
and directed, if they withdraw from the
Convention, to call together, at as early
as possible, this body, and to report to
it their proceedings in detail, and we
pledge ourselves, at any inconvenience,
to attend the called meeting.
During the morniDg John A. Elmore,
Esq., withdrew from the Convention.—
While the discussion was progressing as
to the constitution of a Committee on
Resolutions, the Committee on Creden
tials reported and favored the admission
of the set of delegates appointed at
Montgomery on the 12th, an amendment
to which was offered to admit both dele
gations, during the discussion of which
the contestants appointed January 2d,
through their chairman Col. Seibels,
withdrew their claims to seats in the
Convention. As respects the delegates
from Mobile, the Committee favored the
admission of those appointed at the first
meeting, pending the discussion of which
the Convention adjourned. We have
condensed the foregoing from the Con
federation.
This body convened again the night of
the 12th. The Committee on Credentials
made a report favoring the admission of
the delegates appointed by the first meet
ing in Mobile, which on motion of Mr.
Clitheral was tabled by a vote of 281
yeas and 151 nays. Mr. Clitheral offered
the following resolution:
Resolved, That while the Convention
distinctly and emphatically affirms the
right of a regularly called, fairly organ
ized meeting of the Democracy to appoint
delegates to a State Convention to the
exclusion of the right of a subsequent
meeting of the same party ; yet in view
of the constitution of, the facts surround
ing, and the action of the two meetings
held in Mobile, this Convention recognize
as delegates hereto those appointed at
the Amphitheatre meeting.
Mr. Bullock moved that both delega
tions from Mobile be admitted, which
being withdrawn, Mr. Clftheral’s reso
lution was called by a large majority.
The following gentlemen were selected
as a Committee on Platform, &c.:
From lt Congressional District. —Hon.
R. G. Scott, of Monroe, Hon. E. W.
Pettus, of Dallas.
From 2 d Congressional District. —Hon.

On motion of Mr. Meek, a resolution
was adopted to appoint four delegates
from each Congressional District and
eight from the State at large to represent
Alabama in the Charleston Convention.
Mr. White of Dallas offered some reso
lutions, as did Mr. Forsyth, which were
referred to the Committee on Platform.
A resolution by Gov. Chapman was
adopted to select the delegates from the
State at large prior to those selected
from the Congressional Districts.
The Convention adjourned (not sine die)
the afternoon of the 13th.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 14.—The Com
mttee appointed to draw up a platform
embodying the principles of the Demo
cratic party of Alabama made their re
port to-day.
. The platform takes the highest possible
Southern ground. It insists on Territo
rial protection to slavery, and demands
that all the powers of the government
shall be employed if necessary, in its
protection. It negatives Douglasism in
all its forms.
The report was adopted almost unani
mously. Mr. Forsyth, of Mobile, object
ing, with perhaps a few others.
A resolution was adopted, almost uuaui
monsly, instructing the delegates to the
Charleston Convention to insist on the
endorsement of the principles of the
Alabama State Democratic Convention,
before the nominations for President and
Vice-President. In case the Charleston
Convention refuse to make such endorse
ment, then the delegates from Alabama
are instructed to return home, call to
gether this convention and make their
report.
Mr. Yancey made a noble speech in
the Convention to day.
The following named gentlemen were
elected by the Convention as delegates to
the Charleston Convention, for the State
at large:
Leroy Pope Walker, John A. Winston,
•Wm. L. Yancey, Francis S. Lyon, David
W. Baine, Alex. B. Meek, Levi W. Lawler,
Henry D. Smith.
Appearance of Senator Seward—llls
advice to the Republicans.
New York, Jan. 10.—Senator Seward,
of New York, made his first appearance
in the Senate, since his return from
Europe, on Monday.
The Washington correspondent of the
Tribune says that, while making his way
to his seat, Mr. Seward was studiously
avoided by every member on the Demo
cratic side, excepting only Douglas, of
Illinois, and Pugh, of Ohio, who cor
dially received him.
The Washington correspondent of the
Times says that Seward urges the Black
Republican members of the House to con
centrate on Gilmer of North Carolina, or
Corwin of Ohio, for Speaker, either of
whom would be more likely to be elected
than Sherman.
Mexican Fillibuster Expedition.
New York, Jan. 7.—The Tribune, of
this morning, says there is a well au
thenticated rumor in circulation, in this
city, to the effect that a detachment of a
mysterious military organization, known
as the Knights of the Golden Circle, left
this port, a few days since, for Mexico.—
Their design is unknown, but their move
ments are reported to be very myste
rious.
Meeting of Anti-Republican Members.
Washington, Jan. 7.—A special meet
ing has been called, and is to be held to
night, of all the members of Congress,
who are opposed to the Black Republican
Speaker. It is believed that the action
of this meeting will have the effect of
making all the doubtful members show
their hand, and thus result in the speedy
organization of the House.
Resolutions of tlie Alabama Con
vention.
The following are the resolutions
which were reported in the Democratic
State Convention, of Alabama, by the
Committee on Platform. Their adop
tion was opposed by Mr. White of Dal
las, and advocated by Messrs. Hubbard
and Yancey, and were sustained upon
the call of the vote after the conclusion
of Mr. Yancey’s speech:
Ist. Resolved, By the Democracy of the
State f Alabama in Convention assembled,
That holding all issues and principles,
upon which they have heretofore affili
ated and acted with the National Demo
cratic party, to be inferior in dignity
and importance to the great question
of slavery, they content themselves with
a general re-affirmance of the Cincin
nati platform as to such issues, and,
also, endorse said platform as to slavery,
together with the following resolutions :
2d. Resolved further, That we re-affirm
so much of the first resolution of the
platform adopted in Convention by the
Democtacy of this State, on the Bth of
Jan., 1856, as relates to the subject of
slavery, to-wit: “The unqualified right
of the people of the slaveholding States
to the protection of their property in the
States, in the Territories and in the
in which Territorial gov
ernments are as yet unorganized.”
3d. Resolved further, That in order to
meet and clear away all obstacles to a
full enjoyment of this right in the Ter
ritories, we re-affirm the principle of
the 9th resolution of the platform, adop
ted in Convention by the Democracy of
this State, on the 16th of Feb., 1848, to
wit : “That it is the duty of the General
Government, by all proper legislation, to
secure an entry into those Territories to
all citizens of the United States, together
with their property of every description,
and that the same shall remain protected
by the United States, while the Territo
ries are under its authority.”
4th. Resolved further, That the Consti
tution of the United States is a compact
between sovereign and co-equal States,
united upon the basis of perfect equality
of rights and privileges.
sth. Resolved further, That the Territo
ries of the United States are common
property, in which the States have equal
rights, and to which the citizens of every
State may rightfully emigrate with their
slaves and other property, recognized as
such in any of the States of the Union,
or by the Constitution of the United
States.
6 th. Resolved further, That the CoDgress
of the United States has no power to
abolish slavery in the Territories, or to
prohibit its introduction into any of them.
7th. Resolved further. That the Terri
torial Legislatures created by the Legis
lation of Congress, have no power to
abolish slavery, or to prohibit the intro
duction of the same, or to impair, by un
friendly legislation, the security and full
enjoyment of the same within the Terri
tories; and such Constitutional power
certainly does not belong to the people of
the Territories in any capacity, before,
in the exercise of lawful authority, they
form a constitution preparatory to ad
mission as a State in the Union; and
their action, in the exercise of such law
ful authority, cannot operate or take ef
fect before their actual admission, as a
State, into the Union.
Bth. Resolved further, That the princi
ples enunciated by Chief Justice Taney,
in his opinion in the Dred Scott case,
deny to the Territorial Legislature the
power to destroy or impair by any legis
lation whatever, the right of property in
slaves and maintain it to be the duty of
the Federal Government, in all its de
partments, to protect the rights of the
owner of such property in the Territo
ries, and the principles so declared are
hereby asserted to be the rights of the
South, and the South shall maintain
them.
9th. Resolved further. That we hold all
the foregoing to contain Cardinal princi
ples—true in themselves, and just and
proper and necessary for the safety of
all that is dear to us ; and we do hereby
instruct our delegates to preseut them
for the calm consideration and approval
of that body, for whose justice and pat
riotism we anticipate their adoption.
10th. Resolved further, That our dele
gates to the Charleston Convention are
hereby expressly instructed to insist that
the said Convention shall adopt a plat
form of principles recognizing distinctly
the rights of the South as asserted in the
foregoing resolutions, and if the said Na
tional Convention should refuse to adopt
in substance the propositions embraced
on the preceding resolutions, prior to
nominating candidates, our delegates to
said Convention are hereby positively in
structed to withdraw therefrom.
Wth. Resolved further, That our dele
gates to the Charleston Convention shall
cast the vote of Alabama as a unit, and
the majority shall determine how the vote
of this State shall be given.
12 th. Resolved, further, That an Execu

that our delegation withdraw from the
Charleston Convention in obedience ip
the 10th resolution.to call a Convention
of the Democracy of Alabama to meet at
an early day to consider what is best to
be done.
Mr. Jackson offered the following
amendment:
Resolved, That our delegates having
thus respectfully presented the declara
tion of principles, as avowed by this Con
; vention, failing to procure such action on
I the part of the Charleston Convention, as
■ should be in conformity therewith, and
I be satisfactory to the South, then, and in
that case our delegates are instructed to
; co-operate with those from the other
! slave States by pursuing such course as
sound policy, duty, prudence and patriot
ism may suggest.
Resolved further, That should any emer
gency arise, either by the failure of the
Charleston Convention to meet the just
expectations of the South, or to erect a
platform of principles before the nomina
tion of a candidate for the Presidency as
to cause the Southern delegates to retire
from said Convention, then and in that
case our delegates are instructed to report
the same to the executive committee,
who shall thereupon proceed to call a
State Convention, that such action may
be had in the premises, ns the exigencies
of the case may demand.
The Washington correspondence of the
N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, of the sth
inst., says:
The appearance of Senator Mason in
the Senate yesterday, in a full suit of
home-spun gray Virginia cloth, attracted
some attention. During the nullification
crisis, Mr. McDuffie of South Carolina,
appeared in a like dress, as did several
other Southern men. During the Revo
lution it was common in the South for
gentlemen to wear home-spun garments,
as a matter not so much of necessity, as
of patriotism. At Richmond the ladies
appear now at fashionable parties in
home-spun cloth. All these things, with
the insecurity of the persons of Northern
citizens in the Southern States, alluded
to yesterday by Senator Foster, are signs
that, as another Senator remarked in de
bate, “we are in the midst of a revolution,
bloodless as yet.” A revolution Las oc
curred in the Southern mind, and it is
not one that is likely to go backward.—
The Northern mind is also, as we have
every reason to believe, unalterably fixed
upon the assertion of principles quite as
decidedly Northern.

ion of the Attorney General, which has

The alleged reasons of the majority for
quitting Lecompton is the insufficiency of
the accommodations, but a settled antipa
thy exists against that place on the part
of the Republican members on account
of former associations.

dred old soldiers of the war of 1812 met

Caution.—The article of Whisky now so
well known as “Dply’s Aromatic Valley Whisky,”
has established a reputation so universal as ren
ders it diflicnU for the maufacturer to keep pace
with the demand. This is the result Os perse
vering energy in its introduction, sustained by a
determination adopted at the ontset, and never for
an instantdeparted from, that its original purity
aud excellence should continue to the end.
The common fate, attendant upon all such suc
cessful efforts, has overtaken the manufacturer.
It is imitated by unscrupulous imposters, and an
inferior and spurious article is palmed off upon
the community, to the great detriment of the pub
lic as well as injury to the manufacturer, both in
emolument and well-earned repute. Every effort
has been made to guard against this piracy by a
Copyright of the Label, and by peculiar shape of
the bottle.
I caution the public against thisimposition upon
them and upon my rights, and I earnestly desire
such information from those who may possess it,
by having been victimized or otherwise, as will
enable me to protect the public and myself by
prosecution to the utmost extent of the law. The
genuine “Daly’s Aromatic Valley Whisky” is
put up in cases of 12 bottles each, with light yel
low Label, and sealed with yellow wax, with the
proprietor’s stamp on the wax, and sac simile sig
nature of the proprietor ou the label. All other
articles are imitations.
Consumers can depend upon getting a pure arti
cle when they buy the Valley Whisky, as it is sold
by the bottle and case only.
