I’ve stood beneath Italia’s clime, Beloved of tale and song— On Helvyn’shills, proud and sublime, Where nature’s wonders throng— By Tempo’s classic, sunlit-streams, W here gods, of old, did roam— But ne’er have found so lair a land As thou—rny native home-! And thou ha.-t prouder glories too, Than nature ever gave ; Peace sheds o'er thee her genial dew, And freedom’s pinions wave ; Fair science flings her pearls around, Religion lifts her dome ; These, these endear thee to my heart, My own loved native home ! And “Heaven’s best gilt to man” is thine— God bless thy rosy girls! Like sylvan flowers, they sweetly shine— Their hearts are pure as pearls, And grace and goodness circle them, Where’er thy footsteps roam- How can I then, whilst loving them, Not love my native home!

On motion, tiie Convention adjourned until 2 o’clock, P. M. AFTERNOON SESSION. I lie first business in order was tiie reading of the Memorial of the Committee of three. Mr Myers ot Bibb read that document as follows MEMORIAL. 1 o the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia, in general assembly met : 1 lie C itizens of tiie State of Georgia, who feel that the Traffic in Spiritous Liquors as now al lowed, is destructive of the best interests, moral, social and political, of a free people, having met in General Committee, would respectfully pre sent to your honorable body : That by the present License system our fel low-citizens are betrayed into habits which re sult in vice, poverty, degradation and crime; un fit them for the discharge of domestic, social or political duties ; entail upon their families a heri tage oi woe, and curse their country with the rule of fallen freemen. Our children are early seduced to a coarse of intemperance which blasts all our hopes, and destroys all their prospects for life. Our Slaves are corrupted, their health destroy ed, their morals depraved and their value de predated. Neighbors and triends are embroil ed in feuds, and peaceable neighborhoods made to witness revolting scenes of strife and bloodshed. Life and property are rendered insecure bv tiie drunken carelessness oi those to whom they are entrusted. Pauperism oi every form ‘s rendered familiar to a people blessed of God with tiie means of honorable independence above any other people on earth. Taxes are levied upon the sober, the indus trious, the economical, to support in drunken ness, indolence and waste a large portion of the population, or to pay the expenses of pauperism or crime, resulting from the reckless improvi dence or ungoverned passions of the intempe rate. Ibe purity of our popular representative government is tarnished, and the entire system is endangered, since the grog-shop has become the centre of power to unscrupulous dema gogues. These and numberless oiher evils your me morialists would present as originating in the present system of Licensing the Traffic in Spir itous Liquors, Your Memorialists would further present that they believe that the time has fully come, when the sovereign people of tiie State of Georgia de mand that such change as your wisdom may devise be made in the entire system, and they would therefore respectfully pray your honorable body— First, To pass a law embracing all necessary regulation for authorizing the legal voters, of each county, to decide by vote whether retail traffic in ardent spirits may be allowed or should lie prohibited within their respective counties. Second, lo make effective the popular voice thus expressed, and to extirpate the Retail'Traf fic however it may be disguised, by ordaining that no Traffic in Spiritous Liquors shall be al lowed except with Licenses; and that no Li cense shall he issued until the licensing power is satisfied that a majority of the legal voters within the Militia District where the traffic is allowed, consent to such traffic. 3d, Po pass a Law guarded by such pro visions and enforced l>y such provisions as shall preserve it from evasion, or unpunished violation, and secure fully (lie objects in view, of protect ing the people against the evils of tiie Retail Traffic in Spiritous Liquors. On motion, it was then Resolved, ‘That the thanks of this Convention lie tendered tiie President, for the able, impar tial, and dignified manner, in which he has dis charged his duties as Presiding officer, and that tiie Convention also tender its thanks to the Vice Presidents, and Secretaries, df the Conven tion, for the satisfactory discharge of their du ties. On motion, it was further Resolved, That the thanks of this Convention be tendered to the Baptist Denomination of At lanta, for the use of their Church in which the Convention assembled, and to tiie Methodist Episcopal Denomination for their Chureh for the use of Speakers in the Temperance cause. On motion, the Secretaries were instructed to furnish tiie proceedings to tiie press of tiie I State. Dr. Loviek Pierce in compliance with a call ! t hen addressed the Convention in a spirited and eloquent speech of some length, which was I greatly applauded. On motion of Mr. Lester of Forsyth, Resolved, That the Central Committee pre pare an appropriate gold medal with proper de vices, to be given to that County Committee man, who will obtain tiie largest number of signa tures to tiie petition sent by this Convention according to the population of his county. On motion of Mr. Duryee of Chatham, Resolved, That tiie County Committee man be requested to furnish to the Central Commit tee, and by them to be laid before the Legisla ture in such manner and form as to their wis dom may seem best, the following statistics, viz.: Numbers of Churches in eacli county, with number of members—number of schools with the number of scholars—number of Temperance organizations with aggregate membership—num ber of cases of known death from intemperance —number of taverns, distilleries, grog shops or doggeries, licensed or unlicensed—cases of crime, superinduced by tiie sale of intoxicating liquors, with tiie cost to tiie county of their trial, together with tiie cases of pauperism with the cost of its maintenance. There being no further business tiie Conven tion then adjourned sine dfc, with prayer from the Rev. J. 11. Campbell, of Spaulding. JOHN 15. WALKER, Pres. Wll. S.

Hooker, Philadelphia, enti tled, “A Choice of Evils; or Thirteen Years in the South by a Northern Man.] Allow it, then, to be asked of the Christian who duly prizes this highest freedom, to consider of southern slavery as a missionary institution for the conversion of the heathen. In this light let it be candidly looked on for a passing mo ment, and you cannot hut fail to contemplate it | forever hereafter with other feelings than abo litionism would excite in you. But. that you may be able to judge under standingly of the missionary character of Afri can slavery in our country, you must first learn something of what other efforts have been made and are being made, to Christianize heathens. At an expense of more than five millions of dollars, and of many valuable lives, in the course of More than fifty years, all the missionar\- so cieties of our country, ofall denominations, are able to reckon up in gross some fifty thousand converted heathen in various parts of the world. If, as we will rejoice in hoping, they are truly • nancipated from the slavery of heathen idola try and superstition, and made free indeed, it is a great and blessed work. May it go on, and without interfering with our home duties! Look now at what the institution of southern slavery has done in this department of Christian izing the pagan portion of mankind. There may be some hundred thousand or more of the present race of southern slaves, who come from Africa, involved in the deepest dark ness of a brutal paganism—many of them even cannibals. And still, in heathenism, did I never vet find one of that old race ; but many of them have I known who were rejoicing in the truth that made them free. Among them, indeed, I have found some of the most spiritually-minded persons that it has ever been my lot to meet in any condition of life. Many of them have since gone, and daily are they going, to the “rest that remaineth for the people of God.” VV ould they have become Christians in their own land ? 1 ask not an answer. God kuoweth. But what of the field of the faith now among the slaves ol the South ? How many are partak ing of and rejoicing in its fruits ? Fifty thousand or more? As many;* all the missionary societies and boards of missions in our whole country can reckon up converts from heathenism ? Aye, more than double that number can be claimed as converts by each of the several churches of our country; and from authentic accounts and various statistics now before me I have good reason to suppose that more than half a million of the slaves of our south are regular members of Christian congregations; while of infidel heathens, properly so called, there are probably very few, if any! What a contrast is here presented! Foreign mis sionary zeal, at great cost and personal sacrifice, has rescued from heathenism about the tenth part of the number that southern slavery has added to the Christian church : at the same time that, of the dead and the living, it has rescued from heathenism not fewer than a hundred times the same number of foreign converts! Let these facts stand by themselves for more easy examination and scrutiny. [ From the Charleston Courier. ] Powers’ Bust of Calhoun. Messrs. Editors :—l noticed recently a letter in the newspapers, from Mr. Powers, the Ameri can sculptor, speaking of his bust of Mr. Cal houn. While in Florence last summer I saw the bust in Mr. Powers’ studio, and was so much struck with it that 1 am induced to make a few remarks in regard to it. Just before seeing it, I had, in Loudon and Paris, been carefully ex amining the sculptured heads of distinguished moderns—just afterwards, i saw, in Florence and at Rome, the heads of the distinguished ancients. The con parison thus suggested was highly favorable to the head of Mr. Calhoun. In Westminster Abbey, the heads of Lords Chatham and Mansfield, and of Mr. Wilberforce present themselves to my mind, That of Lord Chatham seemed to me much inferior. That of Lord Mansfield is larger, hut has not that fine classic outline, ot that look of iron strength of character and moral greatness, which issostrik ing in that of Mr. Calhoun. Mr. Wilberforce’s head reminds me more of Mr. Calhoun’s than any I saw; but it lias a look of indecision, and it is totally wanting in that majestic dignity which awes you in Mr. Calhoun. Place his head by that of Demosthenes or Cicero, and an American’s pride must rise, when its ’great superiority is so apparent that no one could hesitate. You see, at once, that Demosthenes was not a great man, but a mere orator, and a painful contrast is presented by the very marked sinister look of (he lower face, which convinces yon that he lacked both honesty and firmness, in Cicero, you feel that you have not tne stated lv trained intellect and the moral hero, hut the Roman Demagogue; who, with much showy ability, was vain, and wanting in dignity and firmness. Without any other special compari son, 1 would remark, that the’ ancient heads produced the impression that Mr Calhoun’s was decidedly Roman in its character. Sim plicity, fire and strength marked the Roman from that complex character of modern times, where, by too much diffusion, the fire of feeling is chili! ed, and the force of thought and action is bro ken. i o the Roman character we must add a stern, almost savage hardness, and a want of subjection to pure high principles. Mr. Calhoun had m his character, and it stands boldly and unmistakeablv out in his face, the Roman sim plicity, fire ami strength. But, although he was so strong and warm, and direct in his feelings thoughts and actions, as to lend at times a hard sternness to his manner, yet ho was perfectly tree from the Roman hardness of nature. Chris tianity and civilization had laid their gentle hands upon him, and breathed into his whole nature, a kindly softness, which, without impair ing, gave loveliness to Ids strength. See that iace : 1 lie lofty’ old Roman seems to look down upon you ; but with a sweet, cultivated, Christian benignity which never beamed from a iioman face, lie was Cato, the censor, dirts lionized—Junius Brutus, illuminated and eleva ted by the holy liuiit of morality and religion. By tiie side oi Mr. Calhoun’s bust sto'od one of Washington, which Mr. Powers had just fin ished There was quite a contrast. A bold striking individuality in Calhoun, which you missed in the calm general grandeur of Wash ington. W ashington did not look like a great Roman iie looked like tiie great ntan of gene ral humanity. Calhoun might be tiie great man id a nation ; \\ ashington of a world. A strong national type looked out from the face of CaT boun, while tlia* ot Washington seemed to be long to no particular age or nation, but to be a striking embodiment of the greatness andgood ness of the human race. Mr. Powers spoke of Washington, Calhoun, and Webster, by way of comparison. ! asked bi n if the three heads had been placed before him, without his know ing them, which he should, as an artist, have pronounced the greatest. He said Washington, and gave his reasons, for which 1 have not space’. He said Mi. Calhoun s was defective in one re spect—in ideality or imagination—but seemed to have a high admiration for the head. He re ntal ked that Mi. \\ elister was not defective in that lespect. He, sir, said lie, is a great Poet. 1 will add that no partisanship could influence me in favor of Mr. Calhoun’s bust. I have al ways strongly opposed ins leading political te nets. I still regard some of them as most dan gerous in their tendency. But I am proud of him as an American. And having met with him, as it were, in a foreign land, in company witli tiie great men of ancient and modern times, I felt bound to tell how my great countryman stood tiie comparison. { have no artistic knowledge, and speak only as one who has always looked wftn deep interest into the human face, whether it were living or sculptured.
