McfiSo, 1858— 6m . . ~
To the People of the Southern and
South Western States.
At the meeting of the Southern Con
vention, in Knoxville, the undersigned
were appointed a committee to address
you, in anticipation of the Convention
which is to be held in Montgomery, in
the State of Alabama, on the 10th day
of May uext.
The object of the address, as we un
derstand it, is to remind you of the ap
proaching session of the Convention, and
to urge you to appoint delegates lo it;
and we proceed now to perform that
duty.
The motive which prompted the or
ganization of a Southern Commercial
Convention, was the desire to ascertain
the causes of the decline of the foreign
commerce of the Southern States, and
to devise some plan for its revival and
restoration. The people of the Southern
Stales saw and felt the anomalous fact,
that the country which produces tlnee
fifths in value of (he exports of the na
tion, had not only lost its commercial
supremacy, but had become commerci
ally, a dependent upon and yet a tribu
tary to that portion of the country which
produces much the smallest portion of
those exports. This was not only an
unnatural, but an exhausting and de
pressing process, retarding, necessarily,
the grow th and prosperity of the South,
and it was natural to desire, as it was
necessary to provide, a remedy foi it.—
This desire and necessity suggested the
idea of assembling once in every year,
the people of the South, by deputies, in
a Convention, for the purpose of gather
ing information from the most reliable
witnesses, as to the cause of the evil—
with the hope of obtaining, from the
wisest and most devoted sons of the
boml., ih-, Hiit2£t-*ti.i» of a plan or svs-
tem of measures w hich should correct" it.
We regret to say that, thus far, our
hopes have not. been realized, while the
predictions of our opponents have been
to some extent verified, although much
good has been accomplished. Our dis
appointment lias not been, however, the
fault entirely of the Convention; for, al
though we have been too much divided
among ourselves as to the remedies pro
per to be adopted, and thereby have
impaired our efficiency, still much good
have been done, acd much more would
have been accomplished, if we could
have carried our suggestions into execu
tion, without dependence upon the will
of Congress and the State Legislatures.
The chief benefit, therefore, which has
resulted from the sessions of the Conven
tion has been the increased knowledge
of, and sympathy for each other, with a
better understanding ol our wants, resul
ting from .these annual assemblies.—
Southern men have been made more ex
tensively acquainted with each other—
and through that acquaintance have
learned the cheering and delightful fact,
that however we may differ about men,
about party politics, or particular reme
dies among ourselves, there is in the
South but one heart, and one will for
our traducers and assailants; and that
when the time for a blow at them shall
arrive, if unLappily it ever shall, all the
energy, patriotism and courage of a uni- *ted, by the adoption of a*Constitution
ted nation will be felt in that blow, by
those who shall unhappily provoke it;
that, however we may differ among our
selves as to the means of attack or the
ing in houorable peace all hertconstitu-
tional rights—or is to be compelled, by
continued and progressive assaults upon
her rights, her interests and Iter feeling*
—the most unprecedented nnd flagitious
which cupidity and ambition ever promp
ted—to assert her right to withdraw
from an association which no lon
ger recognizes the ^original compact
as the rule of its government, or longer
to yield submission to an oppressive and
iniquitous majority, it is of the highest
importance to her, if. not of absolute ne
cessity, that she should seriously and
earnestly address herself to the restora
tion of her foreign commerce, and to the
encouragement within her limits, by her
own means, of the manufacture of those
articles which are necessary to her com
fort.
The candid lover of the union of the
States must lie satisfied, as it seems to
the undersigned, that if not already ab
rogated in spirit, by the deliberate vio
lations of the compact, to the injury—
and for the injury of the South, by many
of the Northern and Eastern States, there
is not only little ground to hope for the
preservation of it u|>on the basis and
under the guarantees of the Constitution
of 1787, but tlieie is the most imminent
danger of its entire destruction before
many years shall have rollen by. For
a number of years, not only the most
offensive denunciations have been pour
ed out upon the South, but the'most
wanton aggressions upon her constitu
tional lights, have been committed—
commencing with that most absurd and
unfounded claim, of a right to convert
tlie Halls of the National Council into
an arena upon which to discuss the ten
ure by which we hold our slaves under
the pretence of petitioning for a redress
of grievances.
Not only has our right to reclaim our
slaves (when they escape into a Ncrth-
Ami-Sutle) been denied, but the law pas
sed by Congress, tor out piuieim...,
been resisted by people who claim still
to be in the Union. And recently the
State of Massachusetts has perpetrated
an act sucli as was never committed be
fore bv any Constitutional Government
—lo wit: the removal of a Judge (Lo-
ring) without impeachment for any
crime, simply because he lias honestly
and faithfully enfotced that law.
If the Southern States were to pass
laws prohibiting any citizen of Massa
chusetts from recovering any debt or
other property within their limits, or
without such law, should remove from
office every Judge who should render
judgement in a suit in favor of a citizen
of Massachusetts, Massachusetts could
not complain, but the union with Mas
sachusetts would'be dissolved. Is it
r.ot dissolved already, if the Southern
States choose so to regard it! But this
is not all—though ibis is enough to ex
pose the danger—and the true question
is, shall the South wait until the dauger
overtakes her, unprepared then to meet
it fully and ward off its evils! Again :
You are painfully sensible of the pro
tracted and excited struggle which has,
for several years, been in progress in re
lation to the settlement and government
of the Territory of Kansas. Finally the
struggle seemed to have been terrains
by whom it has been proclaimed, with
out rebuke from any Northern Senator,
that we, the slateliolders of the South,
are to lac pursued from Maryland to
Mexico, and, if need be, in Grder to strip
us of a home and shelter, across the
Gulf of Mexico into the Island of Cuba,
by the insatiate appetite aud voracious
demands of free labor, and the Supreme
Judiciary is to be corrupted and degra
ded because the present illustrious bench
has been true to its oath and the Con
stitution, thus to make our bondage
sure by securing an infamous approval
ot vicious and unconstitutional laws by
a corrupt and pliant judiciary.
If these things shall continue, and be
presisted in, every man must perceive
that the alternatives presented to the
South will be ruin, disgrace and bon
dage, on the one hand, or independence
of her jierseculers and oppressors on the
oilier. She will l>e compelled to assert
her inalienable right, and refuse longer
submission to the laws of a perverted
Union, pretended to be passed under a
Constitution which has been not only
desecrated, but destroyed’. Whether the
spirit which is indicated by these events
will finally prevail, and its purposes be
consummated, as far as Congress can
consummate them, we will not, because
we cannot pred'et. We would humbly
pray to God that they may not, for tve
would, if we could, perpetuate the U-
nion of the States, under the Constitu
tion, as its immortal founders made it.
We would prefer to die as we have liv
ed, under one flag, with one name ; witli
the Constitution, which our forefathers
conquered, and consecrated with their
blood, like the rainbow spanning our
beloved country, still ‘*tiie land of the
free and the home of the brave.”
But it cannot be disguised, and must
not, if it could, tbat the free States, as
they are called, constitute now the ma
jority, and upon their will, upon their
wisdom and patriotism it depends, aud
<K» will of the South, whether

Arrest of Crockett—His Confession.
Officers Anderson and Carlisle, of our
City Police, returned to this city last
night, having in custody Radford Crock
ett, one of the persons suspected of the
murder of Samuel B. Laundrum, near
this city, about two weeks ago. Ilis ar
rest was effected in or near Talladega,
Alabama. On the meeting of the Court
this morning, a “true bill” was found a-
!>ainst Crockett, and be was immediate
ly placed before the Bar. The Court
appointed Hon. Charles Murphy and G.
B. Ilaygood, Esq., to consult with and
defend him. These gentlemen, with the
accused, retired to an adjoining room.
After an absence of about half an hour
they returned into Court, when the Bill
the things which we have InaTcaTt-a-|—
shall be done or not. But this we may
and must say, that the South is now
forewarned, and she will be recreant to
herself, and all the great hopes of liber
ty and happiness to the white man, and
responsible for much of the ill which
may follow if she be not forearmed; if
she does not proceed, without delay, to
provide all the peaceful and constitution
al means within her power to place her
self in a condition to meet the crisis
when it comes.
First among these is the restoration
of her commerce, and the encourage
ment of her own manufactures.
We urge you, therefore, most respect
fully, but most earnestly, to send dele
gates to the approaching Convention,
at Montgomery, and let them be of your
ablest, best tried, and most trusted sons
—for tire presence of such is demanded
by the distempered state of the times
and the magnitude of the interests to be
considered. Let not the sneers of de
nunciations of your opponents or your
enemies deter you, and shrink not un
der the cry of “disunion.”
The Convention will not consider the
question one of disunion, or any ques
tion tending to produce the result. Its
hopeful, peaceful, patriotic object will
lie to promote the prosperity, and in
crease the wealth and power of our own
lieautiful and beloved South, to make
