Dnn Sn: As I suppose you feel an interest in tbe signs of tbe time*, aa they appear in tha politi cal heavens, I will give you a brief sketch of tbe sayings and doings in this quarter. Some day* aince it waa announced that Mon. Thomas W. Thomas and Hon Robert Toombs would addreaa the citizen* of Uai t, at Eagle Grove; and when the hour arrived Col. Ueator, of Elbert, responded to tbe call, to face tho music and uphold tbe anli- Ncbrnska Hog of Fillmore. Judge Thu man brat told tbe people of his position and acknowledged Ihe charge, that the late legislation of Congress waa tbe cause of all the trouble, and then launched into a thrilling appeal to the patriotism of the tons of Georgia, and deutaoded of them if they would resign their rights, even if they could not be ob tained without blood ? He told, and proved it, that thu objections to squatter sovereignty might be brought nearer home, that they might be de prived of their vote* because they do not own the land they live on; and pointed out tbe educational qualification of the L'hrunidt <f - JftrUinal aa a sign of dauger. He spoke about an hour; and even those who had felt before the thrilling power of bis eloquence, and expected a splendid effort, were ] more than satisfied. Then Brother Heator spoke , an hour, and I can only regret that a man of so . much ability had so poor a subject. Toombs then spoke, and you who nave so often beard the fiery denunciations of southern Abolitionists, bis burn ing words and lofty flights of oratory, can imagine bow he spoke. His uoble countenance glowed with I'roineihean fire; his words seemed to reach every heart, and the deep breathing and absorbed gaze of his audience showed how completely they were under the influeuce of the mights orator. Then, to-day we have had another battle of mind with mind, and again "Sam” had his lantern smashed. Hester spoke first, and made our little village ring, but it was •• sounding brass.” Then Judge Thomas followed, and every word added another to tbc manv tics that bind the hearts of the people to him. Next was Col. Akermau, of Elbert, and, like Heater, he did all that a trained intellect could do, in vain. And Col. Orr, of South Carolina, concluded with aucli an array of facts us left Fill more rather hopeless. There were sjieecliea on both sides during Court week, and all were listened to with interest. But the audience, to-day, was com posed of the youth, beauty and intelligence of our section; and, to judge from the} applause that fol lowed every good bit or glowing sentiment, there can be no doubt that six-eighths of our people will vote for the good old cause. An excellent pic uie dinner followed the orations, and all seemed satisfied with both the menial and substantial feast. In fact, for pretty girls and food Democrats, and good living, Hart county is ig A No. 1, and improving. In haste, yours, truly, - C. Hartwell, Oa., Sept. 20, 1806. j COM MITXICATKD. J Discussion tu Waynesboro’. Hr. Siitor:— The grand Know Nothing demon stration which has stirred the Fillmore councils for the past week, came off on Friday, Sept. 26th. After all the caucusing, meeting of councils, fur nishing free tickets by the wire workers, about one hundred and seventy-five left the W'aynsboro’ Depot a little after eight o’clock, and about fifty joined us on the way. There was evident disap i pointment in the number, us the party that went a week ago to hear Mr. Stephens started with two hundied and forty. But to their utter amazement, , when theyarrivedat Wanesboro’ not even a partofa i delegation greeted them. They, however, formed a > procession, numbering one hundred aud seventy* 1 five, escorted by the lirwSa Band, and marched through the town to the speaker’s stand. There was no stir, no life, no throng of people awaiting > them, and apart from the Augusta delegation, ■ seventy-live people is a fair estimate for the "teem -1 ing crowd ” that thronged the speaker's stand. ' Mr. Walker being present, was tendered a place in the discussion. It was agreed that Mr. Hill should ' make the opening speech, without limit as to time: ' Mr. Walker to follow in a speech of one hour aud i a half, and Col. Wright to conclude. Mr. Hill commenced by eulogising Mr. Fillmore > and his administration,'played to the same old ' time of model President, found the country in 1 trouble, and left it in peace—adding Mr. Stephens’ Gridin speech and Mr. Toonib’s support in 1848— said he might close bis speech here in fifteen min utes, but it was expected that he would notice ' mow: minutely the questions at issue. H< de i feuded the Philadelphia Know Nothing platform, i and declared that alhtough the twelfth section had : been stricken out, the seventh section contained the same principle. He admitted that be, Hill, I was not upon the Philadelphia platform: admitted that Mr. Fillmore opposed the repeal of the Mis : soui i restriction, and entered into a long, tedious, sophistical and attenuated argument to prove that Mr. Fillmore could be u friend to the South, aud yet lamenttbe repeal of that restriction —thatevery man with southern feelings and interest has branded it I “ a fraud upon the South',” an infringement of its . dearest interest, and a mortifying mark of inferiori , tv. He called upon the old Whig party to rally to [ Mr. Fillmore, because he was once a Whig, ana in* . timaled be was the same "old coon,” and hence all this declsratiun of the rising up of the Ameri : can party, upon the ruins of the Whig party, was only a trap to catch voters. He was opposed to the' Kansas-Nebraska bill, and argued at great ' length to prove that although this bill embodied mostly the same principles es the New Mexico and Utah lulls, there was a slight difference, and with great flourish of trumpets he shouted “what was it put there fort” He charged it with Squatter Sov ereignty and the alien suffrage, when the New , New Mexico and Utah bill incorporate all the mon grel inhabitants of this Territory acquired from Mexico ss citizens, aud Mr. Fillmore signed the bill. He considered the Wilmot Proviso not half so bad as Squatter Sovereignty ; hence, be would rather be excluded entirely from a country to which be had a little, than to he put to the trouble es peopling it with inhabitants favorable to bis in lereel, ana form a State Constitution that would secure and protect bis right, and ask for admission into the Union. He made the marvelous discovery that Mr. Buchanan was the author of Squatter Sovereignty, but did not happen to produce the evidence. He acknowledged that California was admitted under a wrong principle, yet Mr. Fillmore signed the bill. lie labored for one tedious hour to prove that the Kansas bill, which repealed the Missouri re striction, and thereby admitted slavery, was cc-n --c-icted by the North to defraud the South -admit ting them into the Territory and then turning them out again. With all bis sophistry and skill, be did out quite make it plain. He said the Cincinnati platform was gotten up to catch votes, and meant everything to every section. He saidthe people of Uurke were accused by their neighbors in other parts of the State, of be ing influenced by Mr. Stephens, be did not charge them with it, but be intimated it looked so, and ad mitted that the meagre crowd and cold reception were discouraging. He would like them to abandon old and tried leaders who bad gallantly conducted them through many a conflict, fall down at bis ue Jar /, worship at a strange sbnne, and bring ttieli pnli teal offerings to an alter not suited to a southern latitude, or aoy oilier latitude where southern rights are resnecled. He ended with a grand peroration, to Mr. Fillmore, end said be would vote for him if no other man in Georgia did. lie wanted to know where the forty-four faitliftil, tbai Mr. Stephens doted upon in the hut otavoss I I cannot, in this hasty sketch, analyse, or even pressnt all the points noticed in a speech of throe mortal hours Mr Hill Is a pleasant speaker with s large supply of ingeu'nly, skill sod sophistry, snd be has reiterated the same stories liu doubt less he believes (hem. Mr. Walker took the stand, sad after repelling the uajusi > barge that the people of Burke were ' unduly in licenced by Mr. MtepLena, challenged : Mr. Hill to show a single vote* that bis model J i | prmid*n' had giv<n for the South when her Inter : sis were involved and paused fora reply Mr U ! said be could “do it, but be did not liks to In | fringe upon tbs geoOciiias time." Mr. Walker < offered to give him the chance and deddet it from i his time. Mr. Hill concluded, however, to leave i it to lus friend Wright. Rut the question never i waa answered. It was asserted that at some time Mr. Fillmore voted with Wise, of Virginia, but never upon a southern question. He then challenged them to show a single vote that Mr. Buchauan had ever given against the South, and the nearest they came to it waa that Buchanan had voted for the admission of Texas, and than apologized for it, and that he had, at one time, voted for the Tariff, when the Whig party considered the measure just and right to the Soutli. He charged that the nomination of Fillmore was a willful fraud upon tbe South, because in tbe Con vention that nominated Fillmore, tbe northern Know Nothing* bad a large majority, and they, tbe southern member* were hooted, and hiss ed while apeaking in defense of the twelfth sec tion. These delegates threatened to leave, and as they had no power to get a mao from the South, even if they desired it, they compromised on Fill more and Donelson, and 'as soon as they were pledged to them, the northern delegates left, aud went over to the nigger worshippers almost in a body, hoping to divide the South between Fill more anti the Democratic nominee, and thereby conquer her. The idea us sqnatter sovereignty in the Kansas bill, as argued by Mr. Hill, was a contradiction in ! term*. Citizens, under the law ofthc territory could e not be squatters. Squatter sovereignty wus,’ where i persona occupied the lsnds of the United States j without any authority from Congress, and formed t their laws without the cousent or outhoritv of Con- 1 gress, and asked for admission into the Union as t California did under the model administration of I Millard Fillmore. ) In answer to Mr. Hill’s question, where are the t “forty-four faithful northern Democrats who bus- l tained the Kansas-Xebroska bill,” Mr. Walker replied, Ihe most of them have been defeated by the | Know Nothing and Black Republican parties tit the ) North, but those who have survived the Know , Nothing storm are still the firm friends of the t Constitution, the equality of the States, and the i rights of the South. < Mr. Walker asked Mr. Wright if he was on the t Philadelphia platform, and he answered no! Was j he in favor or the Missouri resuiction V He evaded j the question and promised to answer in his reply, j hut considered it an insult for a southern man to ask him if he was iu favor of the restoration of i the Missouri restriction. j The charge of "bargain and corruption” was i answered by Mr. Walker triumphantly, by the i evidence of Mr. Clay himself and also that of his ] ton, and that Donelson slandered Clay by moving, i in a meeting in Nashville to give nine cheers for | the man that proved Clay guilty of bargain and . corruption. Mr. Donelson considered Mr. Fill- i more* administration a woeful blunder from be- , ginning to end, and Mr. Donelson was considered an upright and sensible man.

RicaaoNS. literature—The Antidote. , 7b (Ac Editor of tha Curutitutionalut: In a former number I gave my readers some i idea of tbe immense quantities of Abolition books, pamphlets and newspapers which are being issued from tbe American press. I showed that they were issued with the avowed design of bringing odium and contempt upon the institution of sla very. 1 promised in this number to offer some thing upon "what effect this flood-tide of Aboli tion literature is having upon the country, what tbe South is doing to counteract it, and some other reflecting upon this subject.” In the first place, as to the circulation of these books among us. Here I have no certain data to go upon. I must content myself with saying that, according to nay observation, a majority of tbe booksellers in the Southern States are not native southerners, but peripatetic venders of Yankee literature. Let the southern farmers, planters and mechanics call to mind the almost daily visits they receive from itinerant booksellers, and map ped lars. These are apt to do a good business if they come from North of Mason and Dixon’s line, and import as they are certain to do, a quantum tuff of brass to answer their venal purposes. What a good opportunity these fellows have to introduce Aboli tion literature among us, and those of our Slaves who are able to read I And then bow easy a mat ter it is for one slave, who has a little knowledge of letters, to introduce bis newly-acquired freesoil sentiments among the hundreds of negroes who are allowed to congregate, In some sections of our country, without tbe presence of white people, at wbat are called “negro meetings.” These are crying evils in tbe land, and abould be either en tirely prohibited by legislation, or be much better regulated then they now are. Bo much for tbe thousands of Yankee book agent* who infeat this land. And let me aay here, byway of parentheais, to tbe uninformed in refer ence to this matter, that even if they do not get Abolition books, in nine cases out of ten, the pur chases they make of these vermin, especially if the work is “published by subscription, a-e not worth the blank paper they are printed upon. Besides these traveling nook-sellers being reck less of what is due the .South, most of the station ed hook-sellers in our villages and cities, are not identified with us in feeling and interest. Even if they were native southerners, their business is fenerally to sell, not to read, books. Most of them now but little of tbe contents of the works they sell. In making their wholesale purchases, to be distributed by retail, they are governed by the popularity of the books where they are first issued at the North. If they are popular there, and meet with a ready sale, then the hook-sellers South order them, and distribute them to their customers, of tentimes entirely ignoraDt of tbe character of the ware they are Tending. When a hook issue* from the press, tbe northern journals criticise or review it, and their diclum creates for it a sale, or keeps it on the ahelres of the publisher. An auti-slavery work is most ept "to take,” as is evinced, by some of tbe extract* I have given from tha publishers’ advertisement* at the North ; sod when it "take*” at tbe North, it doe* at the Houth, unless notori- 1 ousjjr Abolition in iU character. N’ow to prove « bet I say in this regard, 1 might cite many ceeea. Hut one touet euUice for illustra tion Take Min Murray's travel* io the United .Stetee. Tbie .ea »cry L/leuseut, and very reada ble book. But for ooe thing it would bar# bad in America, eo imuecae circulation. But tbeplague •pol waa upon it- it waa pro-slavery in ita char acter, and it moat be nroidtd a* if it bad tbe moral leprosy. Mica Murray came here an Abolitionist io judgment and sentiment. Hbe bad read aucb work# aa "Uncle Turn," and from tbeui got bar aobona of aoutberu alaeery and eoutbern men ntie. Hbe began to writ* ber lettere from tbi* country, in lie northern Mia lee, aa an Abolition iet. As abv journeyed Mouth and eaw tbe condi tion of our negroes, ebe changed bar opinion fully and uoirerteUy. Hbe bore teetimony that our eleven were better off than much of tbe laboring , o -i-ulaUou of Europe. ’J but ebe knew of ber own k eowledjc# not from beamy- end, "Whet ehe had felt and eeeu With ronbdenc* ebe told." Hbe wee competent Pi judge in tbie mat tar, and ob I “;ie moet unkindaaf cut of ail, ’ ebe eaid that the southern people had better manners than the northern people—that there was more of the sim plicity of genuine aristocracy among us than in tha snobbish display of fantastic dress, an I fancy equipage in New York, Philadelphia and Boston. Os this northern flunkeys considered her capable of judging, for she was "maid of honor" to Queen Victoria, and knew what waa etiquette at the Court of St. James. Wall, now, would it not have been supposed that this book would have bad immense circulation at the South? So it would seem, butsuch was not the cases. The north ern Abolitinn prink did not puff it into notoriety North of the Potomac, and it must have the sanie fate South of that river, that it did North of it It was a breathing rebuke to fanaticism and flnnke ism of Yankeedom: and it came from a source before wbich they had always bowed with most abject sycophancy. Now suppose Miss Murray, instead of defending slavery, had viliified and maligned the institution, and put it ont to the werld that the southerners were all “border ruffians” in their manners. Her book would have met with almost unprecedented sale on this side of the waters, and the increase of ita circulation in the southern States would have been proportionate with its increase in the north ern States. So much then for th* popularity of a book North, determining its circulation South. And anti slavery works becoming, or already being, more popular beyond Mason and Dixon’s line, it givys this class of works an impetus for circula tion South of that line, eTen admitting that every bookseller South is identified with us in feeling and sentiment. And when we recollect that we have among us Stricklands and Upsons, it must be admitted that the facilitiei for circulating anti slavery literature among our people, white and black, are very great. It is a knowledge of this fact which induced that imp of darkness, old Bennett, in an article on what he termed the “ emeute in Mobile” to say. “It would be well if the book-shops of other cities in the South ware also examined to see if there are not similar works upon their shelves for sale or distribution, and at the same time equally well that our southern friends should consider whether, instead of attempting to introduce sl'very into Kansas by force of arms, they should not, for the present, take care to guard themselves at home.” The circulation of incendiary documents among slaves has long been provided against by both Federal and State laws. No one will question the evil influence of anti-slavery literature among ne groes. What is ita effect upon us white folks ? Let us see if the northern people are wise when they avow their intention to operate upon white people by means of anti-slavery books. It were a work of supererogation to enter upon an exhibi tion of the influence which literature has upon the destinies of nations. In the literature of a people we find their laws, morals, philosophy, theology, politics, and the basis of their social organization. Savs Schlegel, in his “ History of Literature,” “It may safely be affirmed, that not only among the moderns, hut even in the latter ages of antiquity, the preservation and extension of the fame of Greece were at least as much the work of Homer and I’lato as of Solon and Alexander. The tribute of attention which all the European nations so wil lingly pay to the history of the Greeks, as the au thors and examples of European refinement, ia in truth more rigntfully due to the philosopher and the poet, than to tnc conqueror and tbe legisla- tor. The influence which the works and the ge nius of Homer have, of themselves, produced on after ages, or rather, indeed, on the general char acter and improvement of the human race, has alone been far more durable, and far more exten sive than the combined effort* of all the institu tions of the Athenian, and ail the heroic deeds and transcendant victories of the Macedonian. In truth, if Solon and Alexander still continue to he glorious and immortal their glory and im mortality are to be traced rather to the influence wbich, by certain accident*, their genius hss ex erted -u the intallectuxl character and progress j the species, than to the inhinato value of a cyetfero of municipal laws, altogether discrepant from our! own, or to the establishment of a few dyu’ilties wbich have long since passed away." Th',* in the testimonial of a distinguished writer to che influ ence exerted by the literature of a country embo dying in itself everything in tb; 4 government, laws, social life, morals ana religion or a people. In America all these thingq have been taken in to the keeping of anti-slavery fanatics, and they design, by embodying thair views in tbe attrac tions of romance, in the grace of song, in the elab orate polish of the essay, to bring odium and con tempt upon tbe institution of slavery. The suc cess they meet with in misrepresenting this insti tution to the civilized world, outside of the south ern States, is evidenced by the impression they , create upon such minds as that of Miss Murray, to whom I have already referred. I only mention her as a convenient instance of tbe truth of wfrat I am saving. But these Abolition books are not designed to influence the minds of those outside of tbe southern States alone. They are intended to operate upon the minds of our own people. They are teaching a political economy, which says': “ Slavery wrongs the non-slaveholders of the South.” Ssys Dr. Dsniel Lee, Terrell Professor of Agriculture in the University of Georgia, one of tbe editors of tbe Southern Cultivator, Ac., “it could serve no good purpose to attempt to coneeal tbe fact that great talent, energy ana not a little money, are now at work to organize a “free labor” party in the siaveholding States. [See Southern Cultivator, for September, 1866, p. 28*. 1 Whether Dr. Lee knows any more about this than the de monstrations to t£iat end, which have been made by tbe Herald, Tribune, and other Abolition prints, based upon some nnfortnnate, and ill guarded remarks of tbe Carolina Timet, I am at a loss to know. “Nine year ago, when [be] com menced writing for tbe Southern Cultivator, and a newspaper of large circulation printed at tbe same office,” 1 have no doubt be could have spoken by tbe card on this subject. He now confesses, however, that new light "bat been forced upon [him] in spite of different views long cherished.” Tbe chief means by which an effort is being made to organize a “free tabor” party In tbe South is all this free negro literature of which I have been discoursing. It cannot be supposed that it will be without its influence. What is the South doing to countreact all tbi* Abolition effort ? In the first place, I admit that her orators and statesmen are superior to those of the North. Wbeu it come* to speaking, tbe Houth i* far ahead of the North. But our section needs writer* a* well at orators. Tbe province of the orator is to arouse the manses to action upon some “occasion sudden.” Tbe writer’s influence is like tbe flow of some perennial stream. Tbe orator addresses bis hundreds, or at most bit thousands. Tbe writer speaks to tbe million. Theorator must wait for the people to turn out to bear him. Tbe writer goes to find bis bearers, aud follow* them to their home*. Tb« orator it with tbe people but an hour. Tbe writer abides with them as a con stant companion. Tbe orator addresses his audi ence while they are ezeited. Tbe writer speaks to them amid tbe quiet of tbeir own hearth-stones. Tbe field for oratory is among the unlearned and uneducated. Tbe writer’s ground it with tbe let tered aud tbe educated. Take up tbe diecueeioo of slavery upon tbe floor of Congress, and tbe thunderbolt# of "the terri ble Toombs’’ drive everything before them.

A voung men recently wrote * email volume whoee design was to wflicule Abolitionists. Thinking it hardly probable that any one of the generaKir of ncitb ern publishers would issue it, he applied to* book* seller in a southern city, to publish his Tolmne in connection with some northern house, with which he might have had business transactions. Front New York ha received the answer from the so-called southern publisher, that he declined the publica tion of the work. “In. d not say more,” con tinued bo, “ than that wc decline it without refer ence to tta merits at all, bat because we believe that it will only have a tendency to stimulate sec tional feeling and animosity, already alarmingly excited, and can accomplish no good whatever.” Ail this mass of Abolition literature which 1 have exhibited must go uncombatted because, forsooth, if a southerner writes a book, and strike* bard blows, it “ stimulates sectional feeling and ani mosity, already alarmingly excited!’” And this cornea from a book-seller in a southern city. The young man to whom I refer, next wrote to another book-seller in another southern city, « hicb he supposed hardly contained a man who would object “to stimulating sectional feeling and ani mosity.” Not from the southern city, but from * northim one, from the southern city to which the young man’s letter had been forwarded, came an nnswer from the so-called southern book-seller de clining the publication of his little volume. Southern men who write pro-slavery works can never get them published until thev have s pub lishing bouse of their own, whose business it shall be to issue pro-slavery books, pamphlets, and oth er documents. Some time last Spring, or Winter, I saw from some correspondent from Washington that it was in contemplation among southern mem bers of Congress to form something like s “South ern Association,” whose duty it should be to look after the interests of the South. One feature of thin Assoeiation was to have an agent in New York, whose business it would be to keep there sn office where southern merchants might call and obtain information os to who of tlie wholesale dealer* there were the political friends of the South, and who were her foes, and get other information which would enable the Southern people to be stow their patronage upon their friends instead of upon their enemies. This, I think, would be a most excellent arrangement. Another feature of this proposed “ Association” was to publish a periodical in New York to be de voted to the defence of slaver}-, and the inlet ests of the South. This certainly is a good idea, too. It we have a southern organ it should be published in the great commercial metropolis of the Union, where labor and material are cheap. And then southern books and documents may be published in connection with thie journal. It was said that this suggestion would come up for consideration st the Southern Commercial Convention, to assemble in Savannah *bt» Fall. 1 hope it may. If it does, the Convention would do well to remember that to start a publishing boose, or even a journal in New York, would require capital, experience and skill. To enter into such a project as that of which I ' speak, without these, would be fatal. It would re sult in a splendid failure. But there is one available plan which the south- era Convention or Association might adopt and bo certain of sucocss. That is to throw their patron age, and that of the southern people generally to Borne journal and to some publishing boose already established. Is there seen a journal, and is theta such a bouse already in existence ? There is such a journal. The New York Itay Boot is §s sound for the South on the subject of slavery, as the Charleston Mercury itself; and the South should cherish it as it would the apple of its eye. There is no telling the influence for good in favor of the Sooth this paper is exerting, and would exert, if our section w-juld support it as it deserves. The South would be.the gainer— immensely the gainer —if a pvr annum capitation tax of one'doUar upon every man, woman and child, white and black, within its limits were levied forth* support of this 1 journal. Os course there iano power to do this, nor every man, woman and child of them, whit* and black would contribute voluntarily one dollar each, annually, to the support of the New York Day Boot, and other pro-slavery documents and books, which might be published in conjunction with it. If proper views were entertained on the part of . the northern people couoermng slavery, there would be an amount saved to the southern people by a return of fugitive sieves which would go far towards repaying them for the money expended as I have just suggested. And the value of the peace, auiet, prosperity and domestic tranquiHity which icy would have in common with their northern brc’threnfunder our Constitution, if the Utter would just quiet their craxy minds and crazier consciences on the snbject of slavenr, could not be estimated in dollars and cents. The Bay _&*.i is doing more to place the subject of slavery in its true light than all the American journals combined. For he- g, <ies the great ability with which ita editorial cob umL 'l are conducted, it ii published at the North and ha' * circulation among northern people— something wt*'* *? not enjor. whatever may he 2* * bII, 9 r w,tlj whlch “"T ■re conducted. . . The bay Boole comes out plainly* “oeqaiTo cally in defence of negro alarery. It bT***. are not the equals of white men. It says uT** J“ very is no sin, because so far from the laws of nature and of nature's God, it is in ex act accordance with the enactments of the Al mighty himself. This is capable of demonstration; ana any mind.which is not radically diseased with Abolition furor can be convinced by It The Senfh should rally as one man around the paper pub lished in a northern city, and having a large north ern circulation, which pursues this line of argu ment. The well-being of the South—nay, her very existence, and the existence of this govern ment and of all other Republics, depends upon es tablishing the foregoing propositions. And for the resson which I have gives, the Day Boot is doing more for their establishment than all the combined journalism in America. Now ; whether there is a publishing house in ; New York which would unite its fortunes with > those of the Day Boot, under the patronage of the South, Ido not Know. Probably there is. At any i rate I trust that the next southern Commercial Convention will take these matters under consid , eratioo. And if it should find the plan of the . southern publishing house in New York Utopian, . I think it must come to s different conclusion with [ reference to extending its patronage to the Day i Boot. And if the southern Commercial Conven tion should blindly neglect a matter of so much importance, I trust that the southern people will themselves take the matter in hand, ana patronise every one of them, a journal which give# better promise of breaking the current of Abolition sen timent at the North than anything else which has yet teen tried or suggested.
