Tb republican State central committee met uu
Tuesday last at Albany to tlx the time and moth
oti of electing delegates to the fthieago FrueUlen
tial Convention. A debate occurred, in which a
member threw out the hint that tho proposed inode
of electing delegates by Stale convention, instead
of districts, was only to ratify a “slate” prepared
beforehand in behalf of Mr. Seward. The ques
tion was finally decided by the adoption of a call
fir a State convention to appoint the entire dele
gallon, to lie held at Syracuse on the 18th o
April. The vote stood nine to four.

Judge Iverson** speech.
By some mishap we laiWil to receive the speech
• of our distinguished .Senator, delivered mb the
j Senate on the Ulh of January, till yesterday. It
| presents an able argument upon our territorial
j policy ami reflect* gr>-at credit upon its author.
! Miß views upon that question are so well known
and so generally approved by our readers that
wc deem it unnecessary to publish that portion of
his remarks in which he <mubats and overthrow*
the doetriue of territorial sovereignty. We ap
pend the concluding portion of his speech where
’ in he refers to the “irreprre-idblo conflict” and the
election of a Black Republican President:
Free institution* an<r slate institutions', as now
- understood and estahluiiied in the two sections
j of our Union, oannol exist together in peace un
j der the same UoVerument, during im h 1 period
; .is usually ui.a-ks tbe liictiuie of great nations.
I ki ow that these opposing system* have existed
j together in this Union tor three quarters of a can*
I tury; but that is a brief and ire iguiticaut portion
1 o! u naiiou's lFotime, which rests upon congenial
and harmonious elements. And yet, in this biiel
! period, we have teefl unmistakable evidtH ees ff
1 the truth of this great principle which, founded
iu human nature, will sooner of iu let work out
jin object aud end.
j Fir, there is bu’ one path of safety to the South ;
but one mode of prc.su v ing her institution ot do
i inesltc slavery, and that is in a confederacy of
1 felt !ft* having no incongruous aud oppoeii.g ele
mciiU— contederucy 01 slave States alone, with
, homogeneous language, luws, interests, and in*ti
tutio-a-**. Under such a confederated republic,
j with a cousinL’tiuu which should shut out the up
j pr rach and entrance ♦*, ail incongruous and con
flicting elements, which should protect the insti
tution from change, and keep the whole nalion
ever hound to its preservati 11 by an uucbhnge
abie tnnd&ln ntai law, the fifteen slave Blal- s,
with their power of expansion, would present to
the world the mst free, prosperous, und happy
nation on the face of tbe wide eartb.
Sir, wirh these views and wi b the firm con vie
-1 (ion which I have entertained lor many years,
I null which rc cntavcnts have only served to con
. firm, that the ••irrepicsailde eonfliut'* between tha
| two s eiiona must Mitti will go on, aud with accu
j tnulating speed, and must end, iu tha Union, wnb
j the total extinction of African slavery iu thv
southern Slate-, I have announced my determin
j ation to approve und urge the southern States 10
j <;i-K live the Union upon tbe election of a Black
1 Republican to the Pn -idcm-y of the United
States, by a a eternal northern party, und upon a
platform of opposition and hwtility to southern
slavery, it wouhl U'*t be the mere election tttf a
northern man, under the forms ot the Constitution
and laws; it Would not be tbat he was opposed to
slavery in the abstract, tbat I w-mld counsel a
separation of the slave from the free States; but
t.-cu<jhMt the election of such a man, under ail the
circumstances 1 ow existing and which would stir
round the election, would be oouclusiveevidei.ee
t>f deep-mated host lity to iouthcrn slavery in the
n rtbern mind; conclusive evidence of the ad
vancing power ot abuiit 1 nian.: conclusive evi
dence of a settled determination to strike down
the institution in some form or other, und as soon
as pos.-ible.
Looking confidently to such results, tbo south
ern S-aus onght not, iu my opinion, to caussut to
r mu u longer in a Union whose Government
would be controlled by n sentiment of hostility to
their highest and most important interests.
Sit, under a conservative Administration, such
ns now exists, disposed to do justice it* the South
and to accord to her |>eopic their constitutional
right—au Adininlatration opp..e<l to tin: advance
ot oholitioiiiem, aud ever ready aud willing, *o
far us it* constitutional power extends, to guard
the southern people from its violent, incendiary',
und bloody inroads; even now, the property, per
son, and lives of the southern people ure subject
t • roustan? insecurity, danger, and disturbance.
What would be our condition witb the wbulo pow
er aud patronage of the Federal Ouvcrnincnt in
the hands of a bitter, uncompromising, and ‘vin
dietive snti-slavcry party ? e.r, it can he imag
ined better than it cn be described. What value
would the Union be to us wbtu we should be
compelled, ns .ur only security, to sleep with
arm* by our side*, end prepared at all times to
defend our property, our families, and onr lives
fioiu tbe torch of tbe incendiary, and the pikes
aud rifle* of an infuriated domestic enemy, insti
gated by northern fanaticism, nod led ou by tbe
‘tesoi mliinls of John Brown and the disciples of
the great champion of the irrepressible conflict?
Sir. it will be the diet.i to of freedom, safety, in
terest, and honor of the Southern States upon the
ippening of auch a contingency, to sever at
upce the ties which bind them to the present Un
ion and set up a distinct and veparote govern
ment of their own. 1 knew tbu repugnance of
tho Southern people to such an expert meat. 1
know tlie love and reverence which they have
untertadiad for the Union. I know how loth
men and con*mu)iitiea ou to break up existing
institution#, and to form new ones; to change a
government under which they have lived for ma
ny ye ti*. and begin,a* it were anew na'ional ojt-
Istenco. But sir, the southern mind ie fast coin
ing to tbo conclusion, if indeed it has not already
reached it, that their honor, thsir rights, their in
t*rests, and above all, their safety, absolutely
dttnauj t‘ at they should rea*sume their eover
eign tapaaity and power, Rid enter ltle t *ew
THE UNION OP THE STATES. AND THE SOYEHEIONTY OF THE STATES.
compact of union with friendly and oongeuial
States. 1 know also, nr. another great stuuib
ling block in ihe way’of mb a movement - the
apprehension and dread which have cxiotod iu
the minds of the Southern people, and which the
North is ever endeavoring to impress upon
them, that dim nion canuot be eUoctcd without
bloodshed and civil war.
lfut, sir, vveu that difficulty is rapidly passing
away. All considerate men see clearly that the
fifteen slave Slates could swing out of the pres
cut Union and form a separate confederacy with
out the tiring of a hostileguu or the shedding
of a drop of human blood. No, sir; were such a
movement inngurnted by the Southern States,
none but a mo tAsro fannlieial fool would ever
suggest or urge the attempt to fore • theui back
into the former Union. Every mau of ooiummi
sense, aud certainly every statesman, would
know that such a thing would be impoiiihle.— -
And if it were possible,* if it were attempted and
accomplished, what would a Union lie worth, vm‘-
mented by blood and kept together by the cohe
sive power of the bayonet! Hut such a thing
would be ivijHumibU, and the northern people
kn‘W it.
Sir. northern demagogues talk very fluently
and flippantly about whipping the revolted South
back into their fraternal embrace. Wo have
heard such vnporlngs even on this floor; but, sir,
they generally proceed from those who would bo
the very last to undertake tho job. Now. sir,
when (ire Southern States shall, in the exercise
ol their sovereign will and power, determine to
dissolve this Union, separate from the north, and
form a government for tin tuselves, let those loud
mouthed, blood and thunder, braggadocio • llot
t>urs assemble their übolitiou army and eoiue
down, through Virginia and the Carolina*, to
(U.- rgia, tu force us back into the Union, if they
dare. They threaten us who may recede with
the halter and the gallows. Sir, we should not
dignify them, such as would bo so uufortunatt as
to re*n h us with such a decent oxit from the
world: we should not show them even lhs re
spent extended to their faithful friend and ally.
Johu liman, but, by the internal, Wu should bang
them up like dogs to the trees of our forests grow
ing ready to oar bunds. Sir, iu such a enure and
Mich a war. the South would plant her ieet upon
the firm basis of her right* and her honor, and, iu
the language of the aaoiont knight, exclaim:
•Y‘>ni<‘ one r one at ; this ruck ahall fly

Tr-Cr” A Richmond Leiie-r in thu Journal of
Commerce says:
“It the North will not desist, then Virginia is
determined to be randy for the hour of trial. She
has now one of tbe best military institutions in
the country, endowed and controlled by thu State
iu which she has for years been educating her
young uu-n in tbe arts and discipline of war.—
She 11a* this winter passed an net ft>r erecting n
new armory, and for arming the State so that
she may be independent of the North and tho
world in all the munitions of war. She is also
organizing military companies in all parts of the
State. Is there nothing significant in all these
preparatory movements? I think thoro ia little
doubt but there will he a Southern Convention to
| take the subject of disunion into consideration,
but with :i strong desire to avoid such an evil, if
pos.-ible; yet in any event to be prepared it it
must come.”

Death of an Old Soldier, Major Benjamin Wright,
ofTrnsf'iw
A telegraphic di-pat. h which reached this city
last night announces the death yesterday morn
ing, ul his home iu Purdy, Tennessee, of Major
B..njauiiu Wright, a gallant spirit, who, after
passing tbe three score years und ten, the |eriod
said to be allotted to hunt m existence, departed
“to that bourne fr.iu whence no traveler return*.’
Maj Wright wus born in Chatham county, <ia ,
in 17 57. lie wus a Cuptaiu in tbe war of 1012.
ii bohuiged to thuKUtli regimen*, of bleb the
lute Col Beuton, Gen. Sam Houston and Col.
Hindman, father of the present Representative,
were members. When Maj. Lemuel p. Mont
gomery tell at the battle 0/ the iiorse bboe. Capt.
Wright took eomuiand of the regiment, and dis
tinguished him*. If by his valorous conduct in
that metre ruble engagement. Iu tbat battle be
tuguged in u hand-to hand eonleet with a cele
br.i ed Indian, whose name lire writer of this now
forgets, -mi killed him, currying off ;ut a trophy
a valuable silver breast-plate und other silver or
naments with which tbe Chief wu decorated.
After the war was over ho pursued the avoca
tion of a c:v il engineer, to which ire was bred,
ami made many surveys in the wc.-icrn district
of Iff.nessee and North Mississippi, of which
country he was an early pioneer. During the
struggle for Texas bs want to Tex

not pertuittad to indulge ‘be gallant purposo he
had iu view, ax tbo troops with which he was
connected engaged in no battle. When the war
with Mexico broke out, though sixty years of uge,
Maj. Wright volunteered as a private in the Ten
tie seo regiment, arid went through a twelve
month’s campaign. One of bis sous accompanied
him ir. (lie *auie regiment. During the later
years of hi* life he bu* served as register of tbe
county ui McNairy, Teunessoe, and died in that
office.
Mid. Wright was the father of the ITon. John
V. Wright, tbe able member of tbe House of
Ucprescntalivos from Tenn.
It was the privilege of the writer of this to en

A Mltwppribrnsloti,
Our ootemporary of the Ki.quinr is mistaken
in reference to tho proposition fu m South L'aro
linu to the Southern States. It is not, us fie
states, “to hold Convention in the event of the
electiouof a Black Ift publican President,” but it
is to hold a Convention of the h'out hern States,
anterior to thu Presidential election, to consult
I upon llic course of action proper to be t k?n iu
I view ot abut has happened and nliut pr da’ ly
i will happen to aflvct our position ill the F. dural
Union. It is not proposed that nv Stale shall
be bound by tbe action of said Convention. It is
simp'y a proposition for a eonferei.ee of (lie Sou.
them people. It is an appeal for harmony and
Union. The overwhelming power of Black Ro
publicsuism iu the North, thu proclamation ot
purpose by its leaders, tbe recent development
and demonstration of tbs ulterior design of
that party when it shall got control of the govern
ment, crea’o such a necessity for union . among
u*, that we are unable to see how any other than
p*ariot'us motive cun be assigned to the insti
gators of the movement. Surely, it we cuunot
agree to meet and eonlcr upon measures proino
livu of our peace und safety, under such cireuin
stances, we might as well make up our minds to
endure patiently whatever our enemies may ex
act.

Ai.ah vm.v. Feb. 1 at, ’tlO.
Mew*. E-Utof.- l have been noticing passing
events tor gome lime, with the hope el'seeing a
! move iu the right dheetiun. The only plan I
have seen proposed by our merchants to their
customers, is to buy of Northern importers who
are suuud uu the slavery quos'ion. Northern
goods with Southern proclivities. The goods
themselves arc States rights, Southern rights, yea
| evun tire-eat ng, If you please; hut the importer*
are very weak in the knees about election times,
j and bewailing the inevitable tendency of the
. country to ruin, for want of patriotism among tho
j masses; v- to for a Republican. They would have
us believe that Now York city is all right, and
j offer a panacea to tho already indignant South,
’ by telling us we must give llio conservative elo*
! incut of the North time to rally. It has been ral
lying for tno last 25 years, but always growing
: beautifully less, uud each successive rally adds
j new recruits to the forces of our enemy.
Again our merchants plead the paucity of
I’ Southern importations, and oiler that as an ex.
cuse for buying North. If they will purchase all
they can .South, and then go North to complete
I their stock, they will not long complain for want
of a Southern opportunity to supply all their
wants.
You will please inform us of any merchant in
youruity who w 11 buy their entire stink of Bmi th
orn houses*—as I will pledge myself and many
other planters, never to buy another article
brought from N ithcrn cities, if wucan get them
olscwher.-. We arc willing to pay lot two pair of
boots made South, rutherthan buy one from Hus
ton, and eo with all other goods. Wo want a
Southern house iu your city—a reliable uml true
one; and wo will show you whether or uot, we
are ready to suit the action to tho word. With
: the hope that we .shall soon find such mi efttah-
I lishun ni. where we shall have tho satisfaction of
knowing every dime wo spend goes to tho build

A ’folced, That the slavoholding States of this
Union should resort to the most rigid system >f
commercial nouintercourss with all uimunities,
unit sand Slates who ooutiquo to offend against
their constitutional rights For this purpose wo
invito the Legislature of every Sou Inin State to
iiuite with us in this recoiuiueudation, and that
in every Slate and county, towu aud neighbor
hood, t\ solutions may be adopted not to purchase
“r use. ns far us practicable, any article whatso
e'er, kiiowu to have boon produced or manufac
tured iu such community, oity, or Statu, or to
have been imported into the same for sale. In
fur'bcr aid o this object we earnestly recommend
to the Southern Status aud their people that they
encourage, by all means in their power, their own
mechanics, merchants, maimlaeturers ami iusti
tations of learning, uud the employment of their
own citizens only in their publio institutions, of
any ehuraelcr, and especially discourage the cto
pi \ merit of teachers and preachers in ihcir midst,
from such offending community, city or State,
thus contributing to tho safety and prosperity, as
well as to tho duvciopeuiont of the unequalled
resource* and independence of tho South.
Jteeohtcd, That a copy of these resolmions be
transmitted to the Governors of each of the States
of tho Union, and to our Senators and Represen

tho night after hi* election to the clerkship of tho

amt the Democratic party, and highly laudatory
of their now associates. Mr. Forney was partic
ularly soverq upon Mr. Riiclianan, for tho pro

and denounced tho Democratic party us being
“devoted uololy to tho perpetuation and extension
of slavery.” Mr. Hickman defended thu North

say tho same for the South. “The North was
eminently conservative, because tho North was
eminently wise.” 110 could nut look beyond the

DEATH !
The New York papers of the 3d inst., contain
sickening account* of another heartrending ca
lamity, by which some twenty or thirty human
being* (tho exact number is not yet usuuriaiued)
perished miserably < n Thin , day night. Tho fir*’
broke out in a *ix story tenewMiit bouse in Klin
street, erowdo<i with tenants. One account
tut y*:
“ There oould not have been less than one hun
dred aud twenty-five people residing iu (he tiuiid
iitg, uud of ibu.-e probably a majority were fcituiits
or eUUdren. Bouic of the older ones jumped from
tho windows, and thus saved themselves, with
broken bonus, hut the greater purt Wife driven
back by the flumes, in which they must have
perished. ’’
“The scene ut this time, or shout half 1111 hour
after tbo lire broke out, was appalling in the ex
treme. ‘I housand* of people were congregated
below, the working <d engines, the cm * of pa
rents In search.of lost children, and of children
looking fur their parent** tbe groans of mui
wounded sufferer b iug conveyed to the hospital,
tbu shriek* us tlio burning crcu’ures inside of the
building, ail conspired to muku this scene one of
the most terrible it has ever been our duly to
record/’
“Abdttt a dozen, equally divided between wo
men ami children, were rescued from ihe rear
building by members of the various truck com
panies. The Hrumen cotiid plainly see inside
number* lying upon the floor suffocated, aud
acre obliged to retreat, owl g to the iutcec hca
and consequent danger, leuving many who were
pr\ iug for life to die ”
“When all hope of escape whs cut off tin*dimm
ed people rushed to the roof, evidently hoping to
bo relieved. This hope proved futile, and when
the root fell in, which it did with a tremendous
orach, u dotren of poor creatures must have gone
with it from time toeterniiy. The i 111 men*ocrowd
below, observing this horrid scene, involuntarily
uttered* shriek of terr-r, and many of them
sickened, went away, unablo to be wituueses auy

Extract from tho speech of Gov. Wise at tbs
Legislative Banquet i
And now, gentlemen, l havoanothor confession
to make to you. 8o t.ir a* 1 aui personally con
cerned, I have nothing to conceal. You shall
lmvo my heart In your hand, and examine every
tendril of it. I tell you, calmly and ..eliberate
ly, that if there had been anoiiiyr raid-—if the
line* of \ ifftimu had been crossed again—I wuuld
have foul not only fifteen or sixteen hundred men,
but I wou'd have had twenty thousand there.
[Great applause.j And I tell you that the line
would uot have stopped me i would not have
stopped *bort ol Chatham, in Cunuda W*t.
[R- ncwed and prolonged applause.] I would
huv. invaded the British Lion himself, at th
end of the underground rad road. [Cheers and
laughter.]
Bir. it was veryconvenient to me T tell you to have
it school of instruction at Charlssihwn, to pre
pare the military ot the State—and, to thii|honor
and glory be it said, that never did any b .ys im
prove faster iu any school than tnyboys did in the
school of tnili ary instruction iu Charlestown. I
say again, that on the first step being taken, the
first guu fired, I would have marched across the
line through the Western Reserve >f<Jbio. I
woo'd have swept away him k R publican i*ui job
either side of tho road, and have assailed the
British Lion himself, in his ifon. [Applause.]
And, gentlemen, I tell yon {lds, that you may
understand what fighting in tbe Union is.
[Laughter.] I hope you under.-tund it now.
Hut without going to Canada, the Uitocti or six
teen hundred uin ucootupludmd mainly the pur
pose which I bad ip view -iu yi.nr purpose will
always bo accomplished when you have the law
und the rightotiyour side. It deterred iVivasion—
it held thueuciny hack—-it gave the oonflficnce of
security to our people—it gave proper direction .o
indignation at the fcouth—it put tho conservative
element iu the North inynotiun. Rut we are told,
that this cost a great deal. ‘he cost! All I can say
p n'lemcn, is, that there wereflve eids that I hud
to attain by thut army, and nil of wbi b 1 guitied;
and any one of which wus worth ten times the
whole cost. Cost—cost! What right bus ii Com
muweulth like this, grand, gftjiinus, dignified
State, * she is, with the stake she holds in her
hands, to talk about cost; when her military de
fect es, for tho last twenty years, have cost her
nothing—and when their negloet have cost, in a
night and day, some thirty lives, and subjected us
to the c-neers ot mcffuble reproach, for weakness
and want o! thu means ol defence ? The whole
eost was ouly $72,004).
