A despatch frern Nashville, dated the 4th inst., gives us the second day’s proceedings. The Convention was opened with Prayer, after which Mr, Rhett moved that the Parlia menary LaW»6f Jefferson’s Manual govern the proceedings of the Convention, which was agreed to. There was much and warm discussion for several hours on voting by States, which was finally adopted, and the Convention adjourned. Nine States were represented in the Con vention, viz.: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South-Carolina, Tennes see, Texas, and Virginia. THIRD DAY. Nashville, June, 5. The Convention assembled to-dqy at the ap pointed hour. Several Delegates were announced by the gentlemen composing the committee of one Lorn each State, and admitted to seats. Mr. Mcßae, of Mississippi, submitted a se ries of resolutions, declaring that the spirit of the Convention was conciliatory, and intended to preserve the Constitution and tho Union. They provide that all Territory acquired by Abe United Statesis to be governed by the a ; n Mu cress- and further recommend that if the North’will not accede to the South its rights guarantied by the Constitution, the formality of association will be broken, and lead to non intercourse between the two sections; that . Congress has no right to discriminate between the species of property held under the Consti tution. These resolutions were referred to a committee. Mr. Cheater, of Tennessee, offered a reso lution providing for a committee on Printing, which was carried. , The Convention then adjourned to 10 o clock to-monow morning- From the Charleston Mercury, 6th tost.

We welcome this new visitor to our table and return our thanks to the publishers for its appearance. It comes freighted with a most inviting table of contents, and we have read several of its articles with interest aad plea sure. It is the first of a new series, having passed into the hands of those enterprising publishers, Messrs. Walker & Richards, who have greatly improved its appearance. The following are the contents of the present, the April number: Law Reform in Missouri ; the Mines of California; Gen. Hammdnd’s Commencement Oration ; The Navigation Laws ; Relations of England and Spain ; Miles’ Philosophic The ology ; The Cryptogamous Origin of Fevers ; Humboldt’s Aspect of Nature; Kennedy’s Life of Wirt; Wallis’ Glimpses of Spain; Critical Notices. The review of Gov. Hammond’s Com mencement Oration, and that of Miles’ P.iilo sophic Theology, particularly pleased us. Both are written in a pleasing style, and are characterized by clearness, sensibleness and thoughtfulness. The remaining articles we have as yet but partially examined, but from the attention we have bestowed upon them, would judge them fully worthy of a place in the Southern Quar terly. The critical notices of new works, &c., from the pen of the talented editor, Wm. Gil more Simms, Esq., are singularly excellent, clear, succinct and candid. We would fain, before closing this notice, say something byway of commending this valuable and ably conducted Southern Quar terly to the kind attention and generous patron age of Southern men. As a Southern Litera ry Review, it stands alone. It is greatly needed. It is marked by a spirit of devotion to Southern institutions, rights and interests. It is not excelled by any publication of tho kind in the United States. In mechanical ap pearance, it almost defies competition. Published in Charleston, S. C. Address Walker & Richards. Views of the Whig Press. We make the following extracts from the Macon Journal and -Messenger. We have ita licised a few words. The Compromise.—The Administration. We have notjeed, not without deep regret the position assumed by the Washington Re public under its new editorial supervision. That paper formally announces that the Pre sident is still in favor of his original plan; and, by implication, that he is o; posed to the proposed adjustment presented by the com mittee of thirteen. The plan of the Administration was pro posed in December last. It met the approba tion, so far as we know, of no Southern man entitled to respect, or who, from position, could be expected to exert an influence upon the popular mind. It fell, literally, still born.— It had no Iriends, either in the Senate or the House, and had passed almost out of the pub lic mind, when the report of the committee was presented. The object of the announcement must have been to defeat the Compromise proposed by Mr. Clay and his friends. That plan being more favorable to the South than the Pres ident’s we are forced to the conclusion, that. ifTO Rv-pTOTTc a posi- tion of hostility to the Southern States. Most sincerely do we trust that the state ment of that paper may have been made with out authority. If otherwise, the Administra tion cannot hope for any considerable support in the Southern States. As to the two plans, there is no comparison. The Pre idenl’s plan is wholly inadequate to the exigencies of the country. Here, then, are two of the plans proposed. So far as we know, the President’s proposition is sustained by no Southern Senator of in fluence, and we do not believe that it could ral ly evena Corporal's Guard among the people. The organ at Washington should either aband- on such a plan or be abandoned_at Southern subs^ber^'^ v f'~'' {e^ J i\ ie dftcwatsuch doctrines will not suit the Southern people, anti that they will abandon even the President, much as they have loved him, and fully as they have confided in him, rather than be committed to any such policy. It is time the administration should under stand its true position in regadlo this question. This is the language of a paper which whigs will not doubt. Already have wo had unmis takeable evidences that our strictures upon Gen. Tavlor’s plan and policy, (or rather that of a majority of his cabinet,) was distasteful to some who see every thing through a party medium. It will be seen from the above that one of the leading central organs of the whig party of Georgia has spoken out as we have. We presumed (as we had the right to do,) that tbe Washington Republic spoke for the President. Our whig eotemporary of Macon says, it is forced to believe that that paper “has deliberately assumed a position of hostility to the Southern States." V' e believe the seme thing, and recognize no party influence which can make us conceal it from the people. Don’t be in a hurry to find fault with us. Per haps we are not far wrong after all. Good Dividends. —The Bank of Hamburg has declared a dividend of $3 per share out of the profits ot the last six months business, be ing at the rate of six per cent, per annum. The Marine Rank of Savannah has declared a dividend of six per cent, for the last six months, and the Railroad Bank a dividend of Four Dollars per share for the same time. The Birp anp the Snare.—Two gentle men of our acquaintance, of unimpeachable veracity, witnessed a scene the other day worth recording. They observed at the distance of some thirty feet from them very strange and unaccountable conduct on the part of a bird— commonly called the cow bird, resembling in color and shape the mocking-bird of this re gion,thoiigh somewhat smaller. On watch in<r it narrowly they discovered that it was en caged in a conflict with a snake some eight een or twenty inches in length. In a tew moments the bird was victorious. It suddenly caught the snake by the head and flying with it toan old pine tree, succeeded after a hard struggle, in fastening it on a punned splinter. Thus'piuioned, the snake was entirely help less. The bird watched it for a moment with apparently, the utmost cuiupljcency and then continued’ its repast, devouring within ten or fifteen minutes three fourths of the length oi tbe snake.—Mobile Herald 21st. Destructive Weapon.—Jennings’ repeat ine rifle is one of the most effective, the most awful weapon of modern days. It dischar ges twenty-four balls in a minute, take full effect at eight hundred yards. VV hen one ball is fl red, tiie gun is instantly loaded, by a principle as simple as it is unfailing. 1 hiuk of such a weapon in the banes o! a thousand men! Tbe use of this gun ought tom?an end to war, for surely no army could stand against it. It is said if gold eaf is spread upon the ftce ofa person who has the small pox, he will not be pitted in the least. This is worth remem bering, if it be ao. Remains o? Col. Elmore. —Information has been received from \\ ashington that the remains of Col. Elmore would leave that city on Wednesday evening, and they maj conse quently be expected to arrive here in the W ii mington boat to-morrow.—Charleston Mercu ry, 6th insL. o|»po«itioiY Io General Taylor. We are not afraid to trust the interest nt our paper in the hands of our readers. A few thoughtless and hasty tn“n may abandon it be cause ol our opposition to General Taylor’s scheme of settling the territorial question. Let them go. They will,find out their error, whe ther they comeback or not. We refer those dissatisfied, to the extracts in tiiis day’s paper from the Macon Journal and Messenger. That paper thinks of General Taylor’s plan as we do. 1 ’’he Washington Republic his particular organ at the National Capitol continues its at tacks upon Mr. Clay. There are not a thousand persons in the State of Georgia who would prefer General Taylor’s plan to his. There is not a paper in the State which sus tains the President. Mr. Clay’s is bad enough in all conscience, his plan infinitely worse. The Republic is still urging the immediate admis sion of New Mexico as well as California. Mr. Clay objects to the immediate admission of the former, upon the ground, of a want of moral and social preparation of the people there. There never was a more miserable, mongrel, mixed, ignorant and stupid people collected together this side of Africa, Vet the Republic, o.i the part of General Taylor, urges their immediate admission into the Union upon the ground that it "will give com plete finality to the question and restore per manent HARMONY to the country. ’ Os course it would settle the question, but what would the South gain by it ? California would not only add two Senators to the free States, but New Mexico would do the same. Two United States Senators to represent the Mexicans, Chinoes, Mestizoes, and how many other kinds of breeds God v only knows, Jo help subject’the South to afiti-slavery fanatics, would be a most glorious way to settle the question ! • The Republic after urging in favor of the President’s plan, that the people of the territo ry would not suffer for want of a Government for a short time, adds, “ They have it in their power to form a State Constitution and to ap ply for admission into the Union, as they have been recently recommended to do by their delegate, who is now in this city, WITHOU I DELAY.” There it is plainly declared and no mistake. If New Mexic >is urged to come in without delay, we should like to know what chance the South would have to gel into the territory. Now, to show that General Taylor would give us no chance, we quote from his California Message. He urged, that it would not be expedient to give a Territorial Govern ment to New Mexico, and to use his own lan guage, "especially as the people of this Ter ritory still enjoy the benefit and protection of their own municipal laws, okiginvlly DE RIVED FROM MEXICO.” There it is as plain as language can lay it down. We defy any captious fault-finder to deny either of the propositions which we lay down as follows: Ist. General Taylor is in favor of the im mediate admission of New Mexico, as well as California into the Union as a State. 2d. Until so admitted he holds that slave holders are excluded with their slaves by pre- viously existing Mexican laws. 3d. General Taylor’s views, then, are utter ly adverse to the interests of the South on this great and absorbing question. Now then, who is for him or his views, in reference to it? We learn that this scheme is repudiated by eve-y member from Georgia, in both the Senate and House of Representatives. As far as we have seen, there is not more than two or three papers South of Mason and Dixon’s Line.which sustain him. The Re public is drawing rapidly upon Northern pa- Hud comfort in this hour of need. We admit that a majority of Northern Whig papers go for-General Taylor’s plan, and be cause as they say, it will more effectually se cure the triumph of their anti-slavery views. Is there one word in what we have express ed above that is not true? If it is all true, what would any reader of our paper, Whig or Democrat, think of us if we were to conceal it, and for the sake of party, sacrifice the South. We have no fears when the see this i t ,§Si u J‘*?’eeinto have no use of their j eyes or ears. They neither see nor hear. It is time they should be on the lookout. Their interests, their s fety, every thing de mands it. The Compromise and Finality. The people of the South are urged to sus tain the compromise as a measure that will give“ finality” to the slavery question. We presume that no one will doubt that the New York Courier and Enquirer is one of the most conservative of all the Northern Whig papers. See what it says about the binding power of the compromise. We give the lan guage of that paper word for word, putting a few words in italics’, * * * “ Suppose a territorial bill is pass ed without the Wilmot proviso—will that ac tion be final ! Not by any means. Every Congressional District in every Northern Slate would instantly become the scene of a strug gle to secure the addition of that proviso at the next session. Suppose Mr. Mason’s bill in re gard to the surrender of fu itive slaves to be come a law, will the South hear no more of tne matter? Will peace and quiet every where prevail on that subject ? lie must be a foolish and a very ignorant man who can che rish any such expectation. The enactment of that law would be the signal for an an ti SLAVERY AGITATION THROUGHOUT THE Northern and the Western States, infi x’ -TELY MORE VIOLENT AND LESS CONTROLLA BLE THAN ANJT WHICH THE COUNTRY HAS HEARD OF HITHERTO I” What will the people of the South think of that ? That is the declaration of one of the mildest and most conservative Whig papers al the North—of a paper that sustains Gen. Taylor’s plan with all its power and with great ability. We copy from it still further, as follows: “It has been formally announced, from ma ny conspicuous and influential sources, that the Wilmot proviso is dead.-—that it is univer sally regarded as an exploded humbug—that ; the wholmNorth is convinced that slavery can- . not, under any circumstances, obtain a foot hold in New Mexico, and that the whole North - is ready, therefore, to abandon the proviso. A great deal of confidence in the success of cer tain schemes, has been built upon this belief. Our own opinion is that a greater mistake was never made. We do not believe that Northern sentiment has undergone any such change, i The people of the North are not convinced, either that the proviso is needless, or that it is I wrong, in spite of all argument and all ex- I hortations to the contrary, they believe it to be I just in principle, equitable in its effect on sec • tional ascendancy, and demanded by the emer | gency. . i “ All we mean to say is. that in our opinion | the great body of the people pf the Northern I States have not abandoned the principle cf the i Wilmot proviso. We believe that while the I outward demonstrations in regard to it have diminished, the real popular feeling is still strongly »n its favor —and that this will be come manifest whenever ocpgsien shall arise.' Let not the people of the South be longer 1 deceived. Will not all our papers publish i this deciaiukon pf tbe conservative New Yoik 1 Courier and Enquirer? if thpt pacer holds I s.uei> pinions, what can we expect from the great mass of Northern papers or people ? If the South were eypr to yiejd to that capitula- I tion, so falsely called a compromise. it is here : plainly intimated to us ihat its terms would not be kept in good faith by our conquerors. Wc I would see the national capital shake like an ' aspen leaf, or the Union rock like a storra i ridden ship, or our plains drenched in honora- ble blood, before we would yield to any ar rangement that did not secure our rights, and that too, under a seal signed beloro heaven as a witness. Some of our papers write about the cogser va-tives of the free States as if they wcriW"- gels from the skies, and in every word above we see the hideous features of a diabol ical resolve to surround, overwhelm and crush our institution to death at the first op, ortunity. It is as clear as unclouded light, and the people should mark those who seek long<r>o delude them either from cowardice, mental imbecility, or something worse. “Pacificator's” Positions. “ PAbiriCATOR,” in the last Journal & Mes senger, undertakes to reply to a strong and ir refutable article of “ A Whig Senator,” which appeared in that paper of the week before, against the compromise. We refer to the jj ticleof “Pacificator” to show how intelligent men sometimes delude themselves, and not to carp at his method of controversy. He writes well, and in courteous phrase. We believe that he has summed up all that can be saidVn favor of the compromise, in the seven posi tions which he has laid down in its favor. He says : “ It does seem to me that the proposed com promise concedes a great deal to the South. “1. It gives us increased legislation in fa vor, of the recovery of fugitive slaves.” That is true, but it gives us a law less sum mary in the capture of runaway slaves, than the it will repeal. Besides, it is no concession to give us a law-Jo carry out one of the plainest rights that the constitution anties to the South. “2. It abandons the mot Proviso to the Territories of Llirrt inst New Mexico.” That is no concession, for the North had no right to. exclude the people of th* South from the territories (their own land) by the Wilmot Proviso. We might as well say, that it is concession for a highway robber to give back to a person whom he has robbed, a part of the money taken from him. “ 3. ft recognizes the right i>f the people th form new slaveholding Statesout of lexas.’ That is no concession, for that right was ex pressly stipulated in the joint resolution by which Texas was annexe! to the United States. “ Outside barbarians" would recog nize a right pledged as that was. “4. ft abandons alt proposed action on the part of Congress in regard to the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and sim ply revives the law of Maryland in regard to the domestic slave trade.” That is no concession, for the North had no right to abolish slavery in the District of Co lumbia. Again, it merely “ abandons action for the present." Next year, or the year after, the assault upon slavery in the District might, and probably would be recommenced with fresh fury. It more than simply revives th- law of Ma ryland. It permits legislation by Congress over rights that belong only to the States. For Heaven’s sake, let us keep Congress off of State rights. It also gives freedom to the slave who may be taken by his owner into the District for sale. “5. It prohibits bo'h Congress and the Ter ritorial Legislatures from passing any laws ei ther establishing or abolishing slavery in the Territories during their Terrifi rial existence. True, but it assumes at the same time, that slavery is already excluded by the lex loci or law of the Territory, that is, by the old.Mexi can law. That is a wonderful concession I 6. It leaves all questions touching tie pro tection of property in slaves in the Tetritori rs to be decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, in the same manner as was provided in the Clayton Compromise That is no concession, for tho r wirtSSottenalism against our southwVl IT»stre“ Court has-no right to say to one hall □ tution. It says we need " Americanism 'lo people of this Union, “ You may go, ol corr ect the evil of the times, as if the origina shall not go, to your own land with you* tors of the Southern Press were not imjiued properly." with a proper American feeling. Is it Ameri- 7. It allows the people of the f or the free states to array themselves when tbev organize their State governm >jn n an j ro | en tless hostility to the south? to settle all questions touching their dont R wou , d be Amerieanißra for the institutions for themselves. 1 K That would noti to Southerners the right to go there with th ir slaves, and, in the next place, (if some should happen to straggle there with them,) subject them to tho mercy of the Supreme Court. These are tbe seven grand concessions which “ Pacificator” finds in the compromise scheme of the committee of thirteen. We cannot see the matter as he sees it. We have been trying to find room for the ar ticle of “ A Whig Senator,” and hope to be able to do so before long. Augusta made Boer. See advertisement of Mr. M. Frederick. His Brewery is now in successful operation and, we feel confident, that no better article is brought to our market, than that which he furnishes. We made a trial of some, made at his Bre wery, a few days since, which was equal to any we remembered to have tasted. Mr. Frederick has been at great pains and expense in fitting up his establishment, and as this is a Southern enterprise, it should meet ample encouragement. Why should purchasers go to the North for this article when it can be obtained in this city of as good quality and upon as cheap terms. We would commend Mr. F.’s Beer to the favorable consideration of purchasers and ask them at least, not to pass him by till they have tested both it and the price. The Kights of the Ladies. At a meeting ot the Boston Ladies, held re cently to consider the propriety .ChoUinga “Woman’s Rights Convention,” a committee of seven were appointed to make arrangements for its being held sometime during the pre sent year. Qne of tho ladies present advoca ted the right of suffrage as being due to wo man and L“yd Garrison, who is al ways med dling with what does not concern him, was al so present among the female members and took gro nd in favor of the same views. He expressed a wish to see one half of the members oY Congress and one half the members of the several Legislatures wearing curls and dresses. The Ladies of Boston ought to present this champion of their rights with some article or other of fe male dress. He richly deserves it. Free Translations.—‘Well, now, you’ve been to college two years; I suppose you can translate Latin some, can’t you?” “Y’esl can translate any thing.” “Gan you? Well, what does this mean— I’oeta nasciiur not fit?” “Oh! tha’ means, a nasty poet is not fit!” “Not fit for "what?” “You did n ! t quote the whole—prodecenti bus societate—not fit for decent society!” “Ah! indeed! and what does ne sutor mean?” “If you, ia popping the question, should drop on your knees,y«u would bea knee sui tor.” “Very good.' Now what is jam satia?” “Oh! that’s what the feiiow said in acrowd; he meant he was jammed enough!” “Well, this college lamin’ is a orett -thing. 7 s’pose jou did n’t know that I can translate some myself.--’ “No! tan yob?” ' “Oh yes!—clam et palam—know what that means, eh?” . “Not exactly; what is jt?” “That, means eat clams by the palifu’.f’ “You may take my hat!” India rubb-r is now applied to book bjaomg, as covers, in place of leather or paper. Tits Southern Organ.—As promised a few days since, we publish litis morning the Report and proceedings of members of Cott gres, proposing to establish a Southern Or <fini at Washington. Having already expressed our disapproba tion of the enterprise, it may be expected that we give the reasons which influence its to such a conclusion. This we shall do as brief ly as may be deemed necessary. First then, we oppose it, because, if it suc ceed to any extent in giving direction to pub lic opinion, which we doubt, it will contribute to the formation of sections! feelingsand par ties, and thus to the alienation ■ f one section of the Union front the other, and finally to the disruption of the government. These propo sitions, to our mind, are like seif evident truths and of themselves would be sufficient to se cure our disapprobation of the establishment of the paper; but, there are others to which we will recur. At this day when the baneful influences of sectionalism, so powerfully portrayed by “the Father of his Country,” and so familiar to every intelligent mind, we need not discant upon it. What we most need to co-rect the evils of the times, is an enlarged and liberal patriotism, an Americanism if we may thus employ the word, which shall be co extensive with the whole country, and all its great and diversified interests, and this principle cannot be fostered and maintained by the proposed organ—indeed it occupies a position of perfect and complete antagonism. Again, it is proposed by this exclusively sectional organ to give tone to —to direct and correct public sentiment at the South. This assumes, as a fact, what we are not disposed to admit, that public sentiment at the South is wrong upon the great issue which now agi tates the country. It is not only correct but eminently conservative —and therefore deter mined to maintain its rights under the constitu tion against aggressive measures of Congress, of whatever character. But it will not be led ■ into the extremes of ultraismlty a faction who |Jo day repudiate the-principles which they. Pyesterday put forth as<tiie basis of) republican- 1 ' isms and constitutional privileges. There is, therefore, no necessity for such an organ at the South. The Southern people know their lights, and are ready at- all times to maintain them against aggression from any and all quarters. The error in public sentiment in this coun try, in reference to slavery exists in the free States, and it is that error which should be corrected. How is this to be accomplished by a purely sectional organ, which will never find its way to the minds in which this error prevails? It is not pretended that the organ will circulate in the free States—indeed the address seems to assume that, it will not —but looks alone to the South for succor, support and circulation. What good can it do here ? —public sentimetit, as we have already said, is sound at the South, and therefore needs no physician, and least of all one who would drug the patient with sectional nostrums. If the Committee and those associated with them would devise some plan by which the diseased patient, ar.d the public of the free States, could be administered to and relieved, we would most cheerfully unite in the effort, and contribute whatever we could to the ac complishment of the object. The position assumed by the committee that Southern men cannot be heard through tho press at Washington, seems to us not well or maturely considered. We had sup posed that every min who held a seat in Con gress, and who desired it, could be heard through the four daily papers printed in Wash ington, if he would only prepare his speeches for the press. By this means, if they be true, they can much more successfully reach the ear of the Free States than they can ever hope through a mere sectional organ. Let them, then, prepare to defend the South and her institutions through this medium, and they will accomplish the double purpose of address ing themselves at once to the public ear of the whole Union. We might extend these remarks much fur ther and urge other reasons for our views but we deem it unnecessary. We copy the above from our whig neigh bour, of the Chronicle and Sentinel, of the sth instant. It is opposed to the es tablishment of the Southern Press at Wash ington city ; for fear it will promote “ section alism," as ngtjqprosied south to submit! The Chronicle and Sentinel, in the violence of its opposition to any movement intended to secure the rights of the south, denominates the friends of the Southern Press a “faction." This is its cnstotflary phrase. It tells us the error, in reference to slavery, exists in the free states, and should be corrected there; and then says the sectional organ will not reach the northern people. This is a shallow de fence of a paltry opposition and spirit. The very manner in which the paper is originated would create an immense curiosity in the free states to see it. Thousands would subscribe for it there, and every paper would wish an exchange. This position of the Chronicle is unworthy of respect. We might ask it a withering question. If that error exists at the north, what has it said or done to correct it I Let it reflect upon that. It asks what good can a sfluc;.ern press in Washington, do here in the south ? It can give the oeople light which the Chronicle has denied to them, and remove false doctrines and impressions which it has circulated to their injury ! The Chronicle says the south can be heard at the north through the speeches of their rep resentatives, published in tbe four papers at Washington. Just think of a few speeches which would not reach one man in five hun dred at the north, being relied upon to remove a thousand prejudices which have taken root in and sprouted all over the northern mind.

Views of Governor Towns I In these times of great excitement about i public affairs, it is natural for the people to , desire to know lite views and opinions of their public men. To gratify this reasonable solici tude. we copy from the last number of the Fedetal Union, the following expo- j sition of the views of Governor Towns, in relation to some of the important measures; and .questions of the day. We are gratified to , see that the Executive of Georgia sees the I danger as it is, and is resolved to do his duty, ire a true Southron should, witit a firm hand | and a resolute purpose. It would seem that . the Governor is determined to call a convert- I tion of tiie people of Georgia in the event of the admission of California as a State into the Union. There is much diversity of opinion whether the resolutions or the bill providing tor calling the convention, should give, direction to this matter. 'The resolutions opposed the admis sion of California with her present pretended organization; the bill provided for calling the convention in the event of the admission, into the Union as a State, of the sparsely peopled territories of California and New Mexico. Whatever may be the voice of the people on this question we incline to the opinion that there is good reason to sustain the Governor in calling a convention, should California be admitted. And yet from the phraseology of the bill, he could be justified in not calling it. We have never doubted that the admission of California under the circumstances of her ap plication, would be in violation of right, justice and precedent. , [From the Federal Union.] Gov. Towns—The Compromise—Nash ville Convention and State (Convention. — I The enquiry Aas frequently been addressed to I us, what are Governor Towns’ views in rela tion to the Compromise non* before the Senate —what are they in relation to the Nashville Convention —and what will be his course, under the resolutions of the Legislature, di recting him to call a convention of the State, in the event of the admission by Congress of California. We can, we think authoritatively, answer these questions. The Governor entertains no opinions on the agitating subjects now dis tracting the country, that he would withhold from a people in whose service he has devoted the best years of his life, and with an increasing confidence on their part, in his patriotism and prudence. In the first place then, he regards the report of the committee of thirteen, as ad ding insult to injury, and as a measure, unless materially modified, that should receive the united and unyielding opposition of every friend of the South. In reference to the inquiry what are his views, in relation to the Nashville Convention, it is surprising that any doubt should exist upon this subject. In. his letter addressed to the people last summer, in reply to interrogatories propounded to himself and Judge Hi 11, he took a hgh, open and undisguised stand in favor of the rights of the South. The people endorsed his views, as evinced by the large vote conceded to him. His annual message, calmly, explicitly and firmly adverted to our wrongs, and urged upon the Legislature, measures for their redress. In his inaugural address, that succeeded the message, before both branches of the Legisla ture and an immense auditory, in language hold, fearless and patriotic, lie reiterated his views, pledged "himself as far as tne power was vested in him by the constitution and laws to maintain the rights of the South and defend iter honor, and urged with a force felt and acknowledged by all who heard him, the absolute necessity of harmony and concert in order to the accomplishment of these objects. The Legislature patriotically responded to the recommendations of Gov. Towns, by tbeii resolutions in favor of the Nashville Conven tion—a Convention designated for Southern men to consult about Southern wrongs, and to determine what measures were best adapted to preserve their constitutional rights and at the same time the harmony and integrity of the Union. Gov. Towns stands now where he then stood, the firm and unflinching advo cate of (i.i.- is one who does bot despair of the South!* An old-pannellJ nibn man, sympathizing with the people in their wrongs; he is ready to defeud that Union so long as it protects their constitutional rights: and he confidently believes that the first wilP be in no danger, if the people, regardlejg^of the tricks of cross—road aspi ring pnrtizans will unitedly rally so a common standard in defence of the lasjs" Whatever others may Jtf, it is his deter mination, regardless otya*! the efforts of pre tended friends or foes, to intimidate him or thwart his in this eventful crisis, fearlessly jfo discharge the duties confided to him aru indicated by the voice es the people, and the action of the last Legislature. In reference to the remaining inquiry, to wn : whether in the event of the admission of California as a State into the Union, coupled or not with other measures will the Governor call a Convention of the State, we unhesita tingly give it as our confident opinion, that he will. He deems it his duty to carry out the law. He is not unwilling to trust the people in that which relates to their honor, their safe ty and their interest; nor upon a mere quib ble of words, will lie prevent them from having an op. ortunity ol making their own decision upon a question which may ultimate ly determine the future destinies of the South. O”The Savannah Republican fires into the New York Courier & Enqurier after the following fishion : “We placed the Courier & Enquirer in the Ksame category with the Post and other Free Soil prints, because, since the appointment of Col. Webb Charge to Austria, and the election of Mr. King President of Columbia college both former editors of that paper, its course has been less conservative generally, and parti cularly upon the questions at issue between the North and the South. It has assumed a threatening and dictatorial tone towards this section of the Union. It speaks to us as if we were inferiors, who were not entitled to the same respect and privileges at the hands of Congress that the North receives and tbe Constitution guarantees. It cannot refer to the contemplated Nashville Convention with out employing such offensive epithets as “trai tors,” “conspirators,” “rebellion,” &.C.; and that too when abolition meetings were pro gressing under its own nose, composed of “Black spirits and white", Red spirits and grey,” who denounced the Constitution and the Union as a “league with bell,” and execrated the Bible, the Christian religion, and its divine AutlSr in the bitterest terms known to the English language.” The Republican goes on to say: “We base our claims upon the principles of equality aud justice, which lay at the founda tions of the Government. A 111 ! h ere the peo ple of the North may find a rock upon which to split the Union. Hour only object were ; political supremacy, we might quietly submit Ito defeat; but when vital principles—equal justice—and honor, are the issues, there can be no such thing as submission. Let them beware, then, lest they deceive themselves.” Hurra for the Republican ! Pretty strong language this, fora paper that has “flung, at us, every now and then, for our agitation. But we positively will not rake up old matters with any paper or person who talks like the Republican does above. We cannot see, however, how it can go for the compro mise. We hope it will change its mind after a sober second thought. Alluding to the plans of Mr. Clay and Gen eral Taylor it says ; “As to the President, we have only this to say at present: We are in favor of Mr. Clay’s Compromise and opposed to the plan of admit ting California and leaving all the other ques tions open.” “We prefer Mr. Clay’s plan, because it dis ; poses of the whole question—stops all the ‘wounds’ of the country by the application of a single remedy.” To heal some wounds is certain death. That would be the case in healing the wounds efthe South by the aforesaid compromise. Tbe N. Y. Courier reminded the Republican that it had supported General Taylor for the Presidency and ought to go for his plan. Tt:e , Republican replies, “we did not sell our con- 1 sciences and independence by that support, i We did not bind ourselves to sustain every thing the President might do. We reserved the right, as all other honest men did, to think and act as freemen." Pretty good doctrine that. It reminds us of some of our own talk for which we have been charged witit being d'sorganizers and other unruly tilings. But so far from ruffling I our good nature, we are absolutely delighted j to see our Savannah cotemporary dressed out jin robes like our own. In part only however. We can’t recognize that great compromise : blanket. We do’nt believe in smothering the ■ south in that way! __ [For the Republic.] ’Tis a I,oneiy Place, our Hearth Stone.

Augusta, Ga., 1850. (Editorial (Sorresponbenu. Souther:! Convention. Nashville, Tenn. June 3d, 1850. The Convention was organized to day at 3 o’clock P. M., by the unanimous election of Judge Sharkey, of Miss. President, and Gov. McDonald, of Ga. Vice President. Judge Sharkey, upon taking the citair, returned his thanks very happily, and then proceeded to state, in a very concise, able and eloquent manner, the object of the meeting. He said some persons had been attempting to attribute to the Convention no other object than disuni on. His understanding of its objects was, that it was to perpetuate the Union. He then ask ed, which was the better and purer patriot, the man who saw evil afar off, and put forth his arm to prevent it, or he who remained silent and motionless, till all the mischief that could be done was consummated, and then raised the cry of dissolution. He was frequently in terrupted with enthusiastic plaudits. His last remark was full of beauty, eloquence, and triotism. He said lie wanted no dissolution of the Union,.but ardently hoped that when the sun threw back its last ray upon earth, it Would rest upon our government towering amid the wreck of matter,.the last monument ol human 1 to lail. The opiruoli is rife here thatji large majority are br ’favor of settling the question on the compromise line. The State of Tennesse lias the largest dele gation here—then comes South Carolina— Georgia has eleven delegates. There are about 150 delegates in the Convention. I can give jou, however, facts more in detail in my next. The mail leaves only three times a week, and I had to write to night or not at all for three days. D. National Monument.—lt is proposed by the Board of Managers of the Washington National Monunlent Society, to take up collec tions throughout the Union, on the approach ing Anniversary of our Independence, to aid iu the gn-at Washington National Monument, now being erected at the seat of Government. Launch.—A new steamer, the Isaac Scott, was launched from the ship yard of Messrs. Jones & Pupot on Wednesday last in Savan nah. She is to take the place of the steamboat Robert Collins, and will be commanded by Capt. Tavlor. She is intended for the Oc mulgee trade, and owned by Brigham & Co., of Savannah, Carhart & Co., of Macoa, and Capt. Taylor. She is 130 feet extreme length —breadth of beam, 27 feet -over all, 45 feet, depth of hold, 5 feet, and will, when loaded, draw 4 feet water. She is to be propelled by two high pressure engines of 30 horse power, taken from the steamer Collins. Honour to whom Honour is due.—lt is understood that the gallant Gen. 'Twiggs is about to leave his command in Florida on leave of absence, and that he may soon be ex pected to arrive in this city. We trust that the opportunity will be seized upon to give the General some public and cordial reception on the part of our citizens. It would te ex ceedingly proper, in our opinion, for the city authorities to render him proper honours, and for oqr citizens to tender him a public dinner. Gen. Twiggs has not, we believe, visited this State since the Mexican war. The hon ours to which he was then entitled are still eminently his due, and we may add, that it would be a proper occasion on which to pre sent the sword voted to him by the Legisla ture of Georgia. We have thrown out this brief hint, hoping that it wifi be Improved upon —Savannah Republican, 6th inst. [Correspondence of the Savannah Geotgian.] Washington City, May 22,1850. To the Editors of the Savannah Georgian : i Gentlemen :—I have read your article upon the Southern Address. Whatever of fault may attach to Southern members of Congress who sustain the proposition to a Southern press in this city, irrespective of par ties, I am willing to bear my full proportion. I consider it to be a purpose highly patriotic, and one wbicn should be sanctioned by all Southern men. It may be the means of uni j ting Southern people—and it may possibly i enlighten Northern mind. Rely on it, whether I a compromise be made now or not, there will i be no settlement. There will be no fixed 1 peace for us —and agitation will continue. : The party press will never have undivided confidence of the Southern people. I would give them a press free from party set- j ters. But it was not my intention to defend a pro , position sustained by a respectable majority of I the Southern mt mbers, and a majority of that I majority, one of high-toned, honorable. Demo cratic members. Aly object was to do justice |to “:h? Union,” and justice to myself. I have : always read Mr. Ritchie’s paper with respect, I finding fault withit sometimes, but generally I giving it the meed of my approbation, however , humble. I did not see the address, nor did 1 hear of its contents until a copy of it was i placed in my possession in pamphlet form. I ' was not at the meeting of members to which it was reported- I have circulated the address to some extent in the First Congressional Dis. I :rict; but always with the intention to avail myself, as I now do, of the first favorable oc casion to sav that advocating its object, my mind does not yield assent to much in it,em | bracing unfavorably “the Union.” I am very respectfully, JOSEPH W. JACKSON. Newspapers.—Among the many advanta ges of newspapers that of saving time is not the least. One man of business inquires of another, “What’s the news ?” “ Nothing but what you gee in the papers” is the reply, and without spending more time on the gossip of the day.tliey are ready to proceed to business. A friend enters the counting-room of a busi ness man with *• Pray where is the best place to purchase goods ?” “Where shall 1 goto get this work done?” “Where can Intake the most advantageous bargains?” “Just take a seat, sir, and I will hand you the paper where you will find .the advertisments of our prominent and energetic business men. They are the men who advertise and they are the men who can afford to give you good bargains, and they are the presons who will he most likely to have the articles you want.” This said and done, the man of business is at liber ty to assume his vocation.

Although she re fused to make a “last will and testament” upon the ground that she was always opposed to any innovation upon, or addition Jo, the present version of the scriptures, yet her ver bal donations were of the most-liberal ck<rac terter. To Mr. Ritchie she bequeathed her entire wardrobe, including several pair of fine silk stockings, and many other articles of fe male dress which that venerable Editor has been wearing for some time past. Mr. Ballen tyne, of the Mobile Herald and Tribune,-for whom she is supposed to have entertained a very tender penchant, was affectionately pre sented with a lock of her hair, to be worn in place of those orid mustashers” upon which the temperance lecturer White, so impertinent ly commented. To her beloved cousin, John Hardy of the Wetumpka State Guard, she bequeathed the pocket edition of her famous dictionary, from which “ John” has alre.dy been drawing so largely for the edification of his readers.

Nor, ns we are pleased to learn, was our neighbor of the Observer entirely forgotlon. To him she is said to have kindly donated her “infallible dream-book,” by which he will at all times be able lo an swer the question which is so often asked by democratic editors :—“ Will Gen. Taylor veto the Wilmot Proviso ? ” In addition we have only space to remark that the useful labors of this estimable lacy, were continued to the very last moments of her existence; she being engaged at the time of her decease, in assisting Col.
