In autborLv—that thefouvoution will bo hold in
this eiiy. beginning on Monday, the 234 of April,
as origiuully aud authoriluttvely appointed. This

make as-urnneo douhl v sure, we annex ados

ttarnan of this city, in reply to an inquiry ad

ti)B in Washington. That reply was ns fol
lows:
Wasdisotox, Match 2*<.
Tho question of change of the Convention has
been settled. There will be no change. The
Convontiuu will be held in Charleston.
This being tho criso, our cilixcns and residents

make all nevossary prepar.ition, which many of
them would not contemplate under tbe duress, ns
it were, of the vary insulting and impudent me

3> would the Opposition pr* -s, sggiug on a few
dissatisfied deuiueruts, make the people believe of
the sJtate of Ueorgi i. Ir is strange, you, passing
strange, that the proselytes of the “National
Union, Enforcement of the Law Party,” should
be so vexatiously exorcist and that tire Southern
Rights Ddmoorscy of Georgia refuse to pass
resolutions to dittolct tho Union. Expected it,
did you gentlemen ?
No doubt it has quite taken tbo starch oat
of jmur Union saving colors, aud left them iu a
State of eoHupse.
We are reminded of tho drunken fetiow, who
returning home late at nigfif, swore “if his wife

was sit ing up he’d whip her. tiho nod too right

know tbat be was going to le mast r of his own

According to tbo tenor of the opposition pro *.
tbe democratic party shall uot destroy the Union,
nor shall they prosrrvo it. Reverting to tbe ro

Some people mo very prone to consider Mr.
Fillmore as the embodiment of political right
eousness. The period of his adnunilratiou is
frequently referred to as tho “Golden Age’’of tho
oonfuderacy, and hitoeelf as the greatest living
exemplar of an ineorrupUbl* patriot ands atw
uou. Now it is well known to our readers that
our appreciation of that geutlumau or of bis
puhiiu conduct has never boon >jm(* so exalted;
yet our e tiiuato has never been so low that wo
conceived him incapaldu ofuoing anything right
If the case* in which his conduct has partakcu

tuoro than ordiuury rulish therufreshing spring,
or thy bruesy shade. Hut we do not intend to
discuss Mr. Fillmore's record. Our object is to
present his iu w upon a subject which tue digits
of the times are bcgiuuing to iovest with some
import.*nee, and to u nniiciul them to those of
his admirers and followers who think that the
cicStio . of a Ulaek Republican President is uot a
sufficient cause fur a dissolution of the Union.—

without tho cue.

Mr. Chairman. I venerate the Constitution of I
my country, aud with my whole heart I love the !
Union which it established. Cut when I hear
those sacred names invoked to excuse the euor- j

lips which thu profane tho boliuM reutintents: i.f j

Liberty ages botqtu this Uttiou wu* formed, as I
will their sons I trust, age* uttor it m.iy have !
perished. They worshipped her i:i a rude and !
iulaht colony, amid tho privations of the wilder
n ss and the ever impeiMing danger of savage
wuifttro. For her .-uk* they sevuved the bonds of
love, und hojH), and struflgth, aud glory by which
through p. murics, thuir overy benrt string had
boon woven nr vnmt tin* horn*and sepulehres,
and throne of England. For her Imhituilun they
built this wiagniliecnt temple of Union, and hung
iu walls with the beautiful and majestic images
of u ooininuu country. But had they lived to see
tho goddc.-M *.t ihen idclitrj driven by imperfbuN
bam is from her own tavoreto shrine, they would
have followed her rvirealing steps, though she
led them to tl*u waste sand* of thu desert, or tho
barren ro kg oftho ocean And for you, their
children, 1 irust l may eay in words which I bavu
utured !>'■ tore, that this Union cannot endure, if
it is to bo preserved by submission to a fixed
poli y of iiijasticc, and ucquiesvonco under hji nc
cumulating iiurt'iou of reproach. \V' are will
ing to give much for Union. W© will give t rri i
to y for it; the broad acres we bavu already sur- I
rofldvrod would utako an empire. Wo will give
bloo * for ii : wo have abed it freely upon ou ry
fielder our country's danger and renown. Wo
;wi I give low for it; tho eoufi iiug, the forgiving,
the overflowing love of bruthci.- upd freemen.

Abolition Movbmbnts in Cono -kss —Two
important movements hobo lately boon to ado In
Congress, to wh ch we desiro to call special sr
tontion. Tb*> first was tho Introduction fa bill
repealing the Fugitive Slave Law of 1860, which
was referred to tho Jqdk-hiry Committee, and tbe
other was h resolution iu thinre terms :
“ Whereas, the ihuttelitig of luitukind and tho I
holding of persons as property is contrary to not- .
oral justice and the fundniooitinl principle*:, of our j
political system, and is uotorinuriv a reproach to I
our country throughoui tbe civilised world, sn Ia
serious hindrance to the progress of Republican
liberty throughout the ustiuus of the ourth ; there
fore,
lte.iolved, That tho Committee on tho Judicia
ry te, and -ho saute r© he eby instruotod to in*
quire into the expediency of reporting a bill giv
ing frond >m to ©very human being, and interdict
ing slavery wherever Congrore has the constitu
tional power to legislate on the subject.”
The question was taken upon the passage of
this absurd aud unwiso resolution, and tbe ayes
and nous having been demanded, sixty Black Re
publican Congressmen voted lor ls adoption
The negative vote was u© hundred nnd six, and
r‘> tbe rreolutiou wm rejected. But tho impor
tant point to I*© noted is, that such a proposition
was madu and received so ninny votes from men
who have b*or* invited to unite with Virginians

The Opposition.
Under this comprehensive term is included ev
ery party, clique und fuctlon in politics. All those \
parties, cliques and factions, agree in one thing, ;
I and in oue only; a wild aud saves o warfare upon ■
j Urn Democracy ; iu ull else they are as wide asun- !
j tier as thu pules. Hitherto their attacks, though |
j Kitvago* have been impotent; the States Rights .
j Democracy huve.deflud their puny efforts lo jostle
j thorn from their breud fi.undations, and arc as
j secure to-day in tbo po*aos*iin of the love, confl
• done© and support of a majority oftho American
j people ns they were when Thomas Jefferson re
I tired from the helm of State aud iurned over the
j Government to his illustrious successors. In the ,
S( uth, tho field is all •ur own ; “the opposition” j
is completely cowed under unnumbered defeats j
n<i is commit towage a guerilla warfare. But
from these guerilla baud© the Democracy have
nothing to fear. Wo may lose a couuty strong
hold now aud (hen, horq and there, and a little
squad may bo routed, but thu South as a whole,
is in our hands; the great body of the people aro 1
with us heart aud soul; believe in uttr principles,
‘rust our loaders, aud will tight tu the death un
der our banner.
Tho real and true foe of the Democracy is he
Black Republican hosta. Great in numbers,
strong iu thu ignorant prejudices of the Northern
masses, led by far seeing and unpriucipiud load
ers, this hugo sectional organisation *o tin deter- .
i mined to rule or ruin—to control tbe Union or ;
jto destroy it. The great ligament that binds !
their motley crew together is hostility to tbe iu
fltiittliotis of the South, hut the real object of
their leaders is to get possession of tho offices of
thu Federal Government and distribute tbe rich
spoils of their conquest among their greedy fol
lowers, in the shape of high salaries and lavish
expenditures of taxes levied upon the agricultu
| rnl classes of the country by moults of discrimi
nutiog duties. Against this formidabfci array,
there is no antagonism, worthy of the in*me,out
side oft be Democratic party. UuW easily they
crushed that reiauant of (hr American purty
which they did not absorb in the late Frcsidcn- :
liul election. Is it wiao thou for Southern pat ri- ‘
ots to make war upon tho Democracy ? Ought !
(bey uot rather to rally to this time honored ‘
rtaudard, aud aid thuir Bouthern brethren iu tbe
death struggle iu wbi. h they are engaged with u j
common enemy ? As partisans wo attach no pur
tioular importance to tho opposition of Southern
cliques aud factious to tho Democracy. Victory
over them is sure aud easy, llul as Soulheru
t ‘n, wu deplore tho waste of time, effort and
thought upon follow citisoos, which might be
more advantageously expanded upon the ouerny.
[l*l* idle to talk of Southern union outside of thu
Democratic party. We freely acknowledge that I
the parly has uow aud thnn made mistakes, and j
tbat its purforiuauoe is ofteu Wow .ts promise
and professions. All human Institutions are im- ’
perfect. Thu true policy of the South is to Join
the party aud strive to purify and perfect it, uot
to make war upon it.
Tho levees of the Mississippi rivor occasionally
give way under the pressure of the affluent flood
of waters which they were designed to restrain,
but would any ©sue man, therefore, propose to
level them with tho ground? What the levees
ere to the Mississippi valley is the Democratic
pariy to the South. Lotoverv true mau then aid
in making ktreugur aud broader and mure secure
‘be foundations upou which the party rests.—
This is wisdom—this is pit rloiism.
Starting Off.
Our opposition friends iu this couuty held a
meeting at tho Court House yesterday, and ap
pointed delegates to a C m .i'iuiou to be held iu
’ Mil ledge viilo cn the 2d of May. A committee ap
pointed by the meeting reported a preamble about
such as wo expected, in which “internal s rife aud
sectional commotion and agitation;” “ strifes,
agitation and threatened aggressions;” agitation,
uflb ivl corruptions, untold waste aud eslrevu
ganoo,” with a tow pompous adjectives to relieve
the vapiducss of the nil**, are proity well mixed
up. The resolutions appended thereto, though
uot very definite or specific, are somewhat dis
tinguished for their comprehensiveness. We oh-
Murvo, however, tbat. no reference is made to the
“Supreme Being,” and we infer therefrom. tLat,
in the forthcoming national platform of the party,
boßof in such uu existence will not be incorpora
ted us nn article of political faith. Ou the sub
ject, of slavery, the it “cardinal prinoiplo” is tho
tallowing:
“To remove tho subj*nt of slavery from tho
i are .a of politics, and luuvo i’ to tho independent
! c* ntrol of the States in which it exi*.s, and to tbo
■lubaisi and action of the judi'-iary.”
This, It will bo oduitu-d, is rather .loftcning
down from the dootriueof •‘prelection,” which our
filends whilom advocated with so much oaruust
uvss. Willing to itavo the question of slavery in
i tho Territories to thu ucli >u of tbe judiciary !
Well, we’ll remember that, lb-sides tbo above,
the only position taken iu ihe rosolulions, (except
the last,) wilh which every man, woman and
child iu the South will not ugree, is beclouded
with the following language:
“lo cultivate and expand the re-sour*** of the
country by such protection te every UAeml pur
suit nud interest ms is uouipstiblu with the geuurel
wclturu and equitable to all.”

A writer over tho above signature appoan in
tbo “Southern Field and Fire-Hide” of the 10th
of March, and iu an article so long as to require
its continuation in the issue of the 17th, essays to
criticise Miss Kraus’late production. To do this
whq undoubtedly bur right, and so long as her
rtanrks were confined to Beuluh, we shall find
no fault with the exorcise of tbo privilege. But
we cannot see the justico or good taste of au effort
to associate the pr vate lifu of tbe author with
the character of her heroine. Such an at
tempt is f reign to the cud and purpose of aro
view, aud invades those sacred, domestio and so
cial relations which should Ik* inviolable to all,
but most particularly so to one who used the pen
ns a medium aad a Hum d* plumt as a disguise.
Tbe critta scouts to have taken umbrage at the
large and continued selo of Beulah, and setting
the reading publlo aside as a most weak and
gulUble nonentity—rends her first shaft against
those whom she has pleased to denominate tbo
“Puffurs” of the work. In w hich category must
be included all who having read and admired,
have ventured to call the attention of other* to
the merits of Beulah. For this offence Louise
likens them to ft party of r< goes who combine to
betray a priest into sacrifice of so unclean Least
to his duly, and threatens the public, that if
like tho priest they are deceived, but morals and
manners will be sent from heaven a© a puni-hiuent.
,oh, just comparison! must logical conclusion!

her “neither noble.’ loveable nor loving” but
“cgreglously self sufficient and arrogant.” In a
word, an inconsistent impossibility. I will not
•avll witb yoa a* to tbe propriety of tbe last tem.
But I ask you, is this criticism, or wholosnlo
blind condemnation ? Is there no deep pathos

storms, und t hose mind is unsophisticated an i :
spirits light. 1 do not deny that such a life would |
| have boon much more common and agreeable, ;
{ than was the luto of Beulah. But it is by striking
| new paths that originality of nitud presents itself,
1 and to us, there is un more pleasing feature of
| tho book, than tho novelty of its heroine’s career.
The question is not, was it ltkoly that a woman
would have been placed in such positions? but,
bat Beulah acted as one of her peculiar traits of
j character would have done, being placed in her
situation ?
Yon rmilo at. Beulah’s reading. Why ? Bo
cause you have not attained so much ! Do you
think that your knowledge has such an extent
that a romance, which should portray its hcroino
as having in twenty-three years learned more
than you know, would of mn-.essity be unnatu
ral ? Has history furnished you with no ex
nipples of persons whose literury store exooeded
! your own? If not, you owe it to mankind, to
yourself, to the cause of knowledge and learning,
to bold yourself forth as un exuuiplo.
Adjectives arc very expressive. You think so,
aud having a store of tbi-tn ut hand, you lavish
them on Beulah, thus you think her “infernally
spiteful” “eonUmptible” “egotistical,'’ cold and
“ungrateful,” otsll her “win*” and find nothing to
nduiire in her character or conduct. This isyour
opinion, to suitaio which Jaundiced view, you
quote parts of conversations and dialogues givcu
to tho reader, without tbe necessary connection
and interlined with your c omptimenfary remark*.
You will excuse me, i I thiuk this style of re~
| view unfair. Tbore is, perhaps, no work of fic
tion—certainly no first effort of any author; which
could hold its own uudor such hatilo treatment.
j You seem to attach great importauoeto tho like
| lihood of tbo ovents narrated, and even more to
peculiarities of *he Heroiuc ; yet, you ignore all
emuidur ->tion of tho stylo of oompofitio. , tho lan
guage or tho amount of information convoyed.—
The resoarch of Beulah amn*e you, does it not
alno astonish you ? If the youthful authoress
had not climbed the bill of knowledge, could she
bavo kuowu so many landmarks? Like lugn,
you are nothing, if not critical and like him nUo
in this, that yon aro jealouaof your literary statue
I as ho was of his military position.
Beulah is somewhat metaphysical, granted, and
I this constitutes ono oftho attractions oftho book,
light readers are saved the trouble of searching
heavy tomes and ora furaished with a passing no
tice of what thou Works contain.
The idea of Beulah’s having read the work©
of lien Teafelsdrecks-*--ieetus to giro you much
uneasiness—-let mo assure you, tbat she is guilt
less of tbe charge. If you don’t know ihat there
is no such author, and that Tenfvisdroek* is ibe
name of a work of Carlisle's, ia it Beulah’s fault?
I (bin! not, and would recommend that you
road the Latin fable of the a ritual which having
disguised itself iu the Lion's skin, gave much
trouble, until at last “aurtt protiubaut/'—tbe
ears stuck out.
Suppose wo admit that tho character or Beu
lah is anomalous. Have you ever read the*
Manfred of Byron, or Faust of Goethe? Did you
over know such a man as Guy D nell? Wus
uot Little Douot a* premature as Beulah—though
not so much hook learned?
Perhaps the beat criterion of tho merit of a
bock is it: success. Tho community may be im
puHed upon for a time, but when a hook receives
tho Lubstaulial endorsement of twenty ono edi
tion#, it must desorve commendation. Would
not the editors of the Foulbern Field and Fire
side like to sue the experiment tried with Wm.
Mitten 1 Wo regard Beulah as a remarkable
production, taking Into consideration tbe youth
of its author—its novelty of design—,ud tho
amount aud variety of research inumicsted. It !
is perhaps without au equal. That there arc
i.efeetß wo admit: but where is the production of !
human frailty which is perfect? How easy it is
ie find the faults iu another’s work—how gratify
ing to vanity to point out your neighbor’s short
comings. Did not Jeffrey write down Byruu
a taol— the literary World sustained Hyron?r
aud Jeffrey admitted his error. Ho may it bn
here. Miss hvans’fame wiii outlive yoiirosn*
sure and you will bo .compelled to own your
mistake. That you have douu ber L.jusiioe Rp
pears in this. That when yt j quo:* hor icfusui
to remain a dependent on ‘ho oh?*! i'y of her
guardian—you stop, just at vise very point where
she excuses her refusal aoc! vindicates the pro

You entirely ouiit this and more tbat sbo tnyt

This country is one of *be most interesting por

a country which bus undrrgoue uiuny vis.-issituiic*
of fortune, It has no parallel.
Being ouo of tbo most populous nations of the
nt>w world, it bus u’wijy* afforded more ready
menus of support from its treph-al climate, thu I
invxljautihlu treasure*it* luiut-s ulford , and the j
spontaneous productious ut the laud, than any !
country on the face of the glebe.
Mexico Is watered by numberless rivers, whose (
bods arc siud'ic 1 will silver aud gold, to sueb I
quantities ‘bat tbo iuhabitants who lived there 1
in the glorious time* of princely Moutetumu, !
scarcely regurded it as wealth. Like tho uulor- |
tuuate Inca of Peru, who was tubwu captive by j
the cruel Plr.arro, and pu mLcd his freukui by I
the rsuditlou of a house lull of gold, which did 1
not save his life when delivered, a number ol |
those princes have been tortured, bw auio they
vreru believed to possiss counties'* treasure* oi f
fine silver and gold, which the ravi*brs of thm I
beautiful laud demanded os ruusoui* tar tbch I
captives.
There are now about three millions of Indians, I
there, who aro ow the deso.ndrnrt of ibe abo 1
rlginul tribes of tbo ocuutry. two million* ol
Mesiizoe* or desccudcnls of the whites and Iu

Number 15
When tho country was conquered by tba
Spanish invader , the natives were not so much
overpowered by the force of arms, us by tbe im
posing ceremonies of thu Jesuit Missionaries, and
j (bough they yol bund in sucrcl to their iumgiua
■ ry dtvliil in, they aro strong believers iu iha
j iusliluttonc of tbe sanctuary. To say that the
! uitijorily ot the Mi-xicuu population bavo groan*
1 od iu bumlugu ever since tbo invasion of Cortcf,
is evident from the muouut of loathsome aud
squalid wretchedness that moots iho traveler
iu bis wanderings thr>ugh that beautiful laud.—*
i Though scenes as bouutjful us ever graced the
| sacred shades . f Bou!ub, should arise before tbe
j Peon, and fruit such as grew in the garden of
. Paradise, should ripen at h* feet, his heart sick
i i*oa hi the wight, and hie stomach loathes to taste
i thu rich fruit ot tho beautiful trop.k-al clime.
Thotindorling bred up iu puury und wretch*
edficss, not con.-idorod us tbu equal if the vilest
<i those vho *'an u can claim too elective fran
chise, is hai py to hear the tvcslu of wur sounded
along tho mountain gorges of CVrro Gordo and
l'uobia, ns it calls them to the standard ot shoo*
orul who tony bo their pruciecior for the time
being. Li.oor death i immaterial to them ; the
one has no charms, thu other uo (errors. Alas I
tho spirits of the lower class huve been crushed
by vassalage, aud they look back lo tbe time
thuir anocsiurs spuntao happily under the swuy
of the good Montezuma, with a sad pleasure, and
only hope thut some mure merei ul Cortex may
ome to libcrutc them from their bondage.
While such has been the ui happy lot of the
poor, a more prosperous condition bus blessed the
weal;trior sour of ihp petty princes. They have
been educated in the mother country, aitor the
most approved Eur. poan style, and have return*
ed to domineer over their inferiors, pretty much
after the style of the English lords ot tbe middle
ages. Tlk i have imposed the law of peou slave
ry for years, upop (huso who have fallen in their
debt, und have squandered tue filthy lucre obtain
'd front levy ing un natural taxes up* n those who
were least aide, to hear them. The tyranical
usurpations ot those despotic lulcrs have caused
Mexico to groan under tho rigid law of thu util*
itary.
The want of education has kept tba masses la
.* state of ignorance bordering upon heathenism.
Whou tho army of occupation from the United
.States wa stationed at Puebla and other points,
iho M* xicans wore astonished at (heintrepid vol
unteers from Alabama umtnding the loftiest
mountain top oftho contiucnt with intrepidity of
the buio tu.mae, us he mounts the rigging U> look
•'Uttar the joyiul shore. They imagined that
ghoul* ana internal spirits dwelt upon those
anovr ©tipped peaks, which none of tbHr ances-
Lor* i<u*t over dared to ascend. Ever since the
invasion ofour army in liifi, tho truces of civili
sation have been plainly visible upon those plains
where the sociality ot tho eivitued have never
entered, to dispei the Cimmerian darkuess of a
priest ridden uatien.
Another unnatural cause of anarchy which has
reiguvd supreme in that benighted country, with
Hie ex* eptu>u of a taw years, has arisen from the
iact that must of the rulers have been foreign
born. It ohn never be expected that a monarch,
.•nverunr o. Emperor, can boa suoccvsfui ruler of
a people wheat* i.istos itr© furaigu to his own. Ha

Our ri uders aro too familiar with tlioUn* revo
lulions in Mcxiuo, to need a ststcnient from our
fec-hf© pen to enlighten them, but they know that
ihodifficulfit s oi the last half century have arisen
betwcuu the princes of ri'al races, who are the
descendants of ancient sovereigns who have insti

otett, and to wage a war oi extMurination upon
the border ot Texas.
