Fire.—At twelve o’clock on the evening of the 17th inst.,our citizens were aroused by the alarm of fire. The fire when first dis covered was in the stable of Mr. Richard Goldsmith—it spread rapidly, destroying the stable together with a large shed adjoining, which contained a large quantity ot lumber, and two or three small contiguous buildings Luildings. Fortunately the night was calm which enabled our ener etic citizens to pre vent the several dwellings and stores close by from taking fire.

Thb Atlanta Higher Law Party.—For I several weeks there has been bubbltnga ard 1 sitnmerirgs of a higher law movement in this city and at one time the Marshal had been compelled to retire. Last Thursday night the plot was fully ripened, and the authorities were set at open defiance. A man by the nc me of Pinkney Anderson took the lead in proclaiming independence of the law, and a di,g r acetul scene of disorder ensued, 'lhe Marshal made an attempt to arrest him, and we understand, did so—but the prisoner was rescued, and he was again forced to retire. He thereupon summoned citizens to bis aid, and they succeeded in capturing Anderson, and taking him before the mayor, sometime alter night. The parties not being ready for trial, and the pr.soner refusing to give bail, his honor ordered him to be kept in close cus tody till 10 o’clock next day, and immediately the higher law crowd stepped forward, swear ing that he should not go to the guardhouse, and drew weapons. Several citizens were present who took the side of the law and laid hold of the prisoner, and a severe scuffle en sued, till both parties capitulated, aod bail was given by Ande,son for his appearance next On the following day Anderson appeared, when he was fined f 30, and Thomas Shivers, who had been arrested for rescuing Ander son, in the first instance, and attempting io do so again in the-presence of the Mayor, was fin d S6O. Being at liberty, however, to go at large, w.thout the fines being paid, they renewed their cisorder on Friday night, by mock-sing mg and praying, loud cursing, aod obscene language in the streets. They planted a can non, and fired several rounds in defiance, ma king die night hideous in the neighborhood, lhe marshal did not interfere with them on that night, and they coubilessly thought their in. ependence bad been recognized by the city authorities. On Saturday, however, ih city council believing lhe marshal aud bis as sisiant insufficient lor me occasion, appropri ated two hundred dollars for the pay ot a com pany of twenty-fixe picked men, to act as a police till the power ol the law could be as serted. Accordingly, on Saturday night, this company took the streets, and arrested rhotnas Shivers. ris, Campbell, ard George Humphries, who were iodeed in .he guard bouse till ten o’clock the tollowing dav, when they were brought before lhe mayor and council for trial. George Humphries was discharged for want of proof of his participation in the riot, and the balance were bound over to the next Supreme Court of DeKalbcounty. Thus ended, we hope, one of the most dis graceful scenes which has ever been enacted tn a civilized community. If Snake Nation and the higher law dignitaries have not taken ihe hint from t is small beginning there is a feeling abroad in lhe community which will manifest itself tn a more decisive manner. Page’s Electro-M aghetic Locomotive. — A large concourse of perso s gathered ai Washington on Saturday last to witness an experimental trip of his newly invented pro pelling power. They were somewhat disap pointed, as Mr. Page announced to them that two of the cells in which his batteries were placed had exploded, but signified his inteniioh ot making the < xperiment with his crippled battery The Washington Republic says: “We had no means ot ascertaining its speed, but should judge that it was at the rate of five or six miles an hour, which for an exper imental trip, with a crippled battery waa doing remarkably well we think. Indeed we have hard.y a doubt, from what Professor Page has already accomplished, that be will, ere long, attain the successful application of electro magnetic p< wer to vessels and railway trains now propeller 1 by steam. Baltimore, April 21. The ship Thomas Fetson, from New-Or leans, which arrived at Philadelphia to-day. reports passing on the 10th inst., two Spanish frigates, having on boards number of troops for the Island of Cuba. Rumors are prevalent that troops are being enrolled in this city for the invasion of Cuba. The Weather—Ths Crops.— For some thing near two weeks back, lhe weather has been cool and chilly, so much so that at times we were apprehensive that a killing frost was brewing, and several mornings within the past week, particularly on Tuesday morning last, we had a smart sprinkling of frost. The cotton that was up and some others of the more tender species of vegetation, have suf fired slightly. But the wheat, corn and oat crops still look well though checked in their growth by lhe cool weather.—Griffin Union, 25tb inst Hon. S. W. Harris.—We learn with great satisfaction from ihe State Guard and Hayne ville Chronicle, and various other sources, that this able and faithful public servant is properly appreciated by his constituents, and that they are again summoning him with unanimity to the post which he has lately fill ed with so much credit to himself and them. While it is left lor Messrs. Fillmore and Webiter to reward those who follow their standard and for unes, let the people of Ala bama, in turn, reward their servants who have be n ever watehful of her interest, and zeal ous and honest in its protection and defence; aid who has been nt -re so than S.

Reports from Deer Island s'ate lhat the whole sea wall, built by Govern ment a few years since, has been carried away by the force of the sea, and the large wrsiden building at the end of the Point blown down. Wrecks a-e spoken of in ail quarters. The difficulties in the Dickinson College, at Carli-le Pennsylvania, are all happily and honorably settled. The suspended and dis misled students were restored upon a paper being presented to the faculty al the instance of Hou. James Buchanan. Pope Water.—The p i-ple of Montgome ry, Ala , are agitating the question of boring one or more Artesian wells on Capnol Hill, wiih a view of supplying lhe city with pur waler. Dr. C. A. Woodruff, we learn by ■he Alias, has invented machinery by which a vast saving of expense and time can be real ized in the boring of Artesian wells It is hie opinion that water in almost any n rantity can be had on Capnol Hill, by boring to the depth of some five or six hundred feet. And that can be done ai an expense of only about three hundred dollars—b* lira preanin naarfind of boring. If water can be brought to the surface for three times three hundred dollars, we should suppose the citizens would not hesitate to se cure for themselves that greatest of all bles sings to a city, pure water, and an abundance of it. A great Submission meeting has beeu held tn Mobile. It was composed as we learn from lhe Register, of the olu and fami liar faces, seen at the Whig meetings in that citv for years past, with here and there a de mocrat, who has been frightened irom his principles by the near prospect of having to defend them. meeting adopted the “Georgia Platform” presented by a Committee raised fol the purpose. The whole of it was enthusiastically received, except that nart which speaks of future resistance, and the “disruption of ail ties,” Sic. under certain cir cumstances. These were coldly received. Our “Northern Brethren" may couat on the “unionism” of the Mobile Submission Party. They will submit at all “hazards and to the last extremity.” Col. Times. Railcar Collision.—A serious collision took place on the railroad at Geneva, N. York, d on Thursday, occasioned by the carelessness y ot a switch-tender. While the express train was waiting for the accommodation train, it was run into at the height of its speed by the latter, smashing five cars to atoms and ? badly maiming four persons, viz; Isaac T. Ri ley, confidential clerk of Corning and Co. since dead, 8. B. Beott, Kenosha, Wis. both legs smashed; Mr. Pettie, Milwaukie, do an i other, name not known, was thrown from the car and seriously wounded. ; Natchez, Wednesday, April 16,P.

The Cry of Disunion. Every coulbern Rights man in the South, South Carolina included, will sustain the j Union upon just principles. The submis sionists are pouring out their fire from behind the “ masked battery,” the “ cry of Union” to covertheir maintenance of the Union upon unjust principles. The real rogue will run with the crowd and cry stop thief! When a man’s patriotism dwindles down from a pot to | a pipkiu, he is very apt to disparage that of his i neighbor to shield himself. It is not surpris ing lhat he, in the South, who goes for the Union at ail hazards and to the last extremity should endeavor to make it appear tiut his op ponent goes for destroying the Union without cause! The Words of an old Whig Journal. The Baltimore Patriot has been as true to Whiggery as the needle to lhe pole. It al ters the following truthful statement. Se ward is triumphant in New York and he and his followers will prove to be so in all the free States. “There can be no doubt that under the lead of Gov. Seward, a systematic attempt will now be made to make the repeal of the Fugi tive Slave Law the test in all elections to Con gress from the free States. It is a fearful is sue, but it must be met.” Sewa d made at the New York Dinner the most eloquent Union speech we have yet seene. He is a great gunsman with the “masked battery! “ Fillinoreisiu. The Washington Republic, the special or. gan of Mr. Fillmore, says : “ But, on theother hand, when we regard" the proceedings of the corresponding classes of fanatics at the South, we are inclined to think that they are little or no better than the men who denounce the constitution as an “ atrocious bargain,” and a “compact with hell.” They are evidently all persons of the same temper and purposes, and both mean mischief and anarchy.” 1 ; ... - ,iu reference to Southern I Rights men, shows the depths of the admin istration’s hatred of the South, While South ern sentiment should be like a waveless sea of Union, we find hundreds and thousands here joining in this ami-slavery denunciation of their own brethren ! It is lamentable, awful, monstrous ! That paper further says : “So in South Carolina. We think that the fanatics of II at Stale areas wicked and as crazv, if possible, as the fanatics of Massa chusetts. We do not remember that we have seen anv thing ino-e treasonable and abomi nable in the sayings and doings of the Philip ses, Wrights, Parkers and Manns of the ciiy of Boston, than in those'of the Southern Rights Associations of South Carolina. r Would to God our people would think for t themselves, and not be misled by politicians who want offices and honors. Just look at a fact which cannot be disputed. South Laio |ina asked for justice, for less than justice, and f it was denied her. She said that sue was wil ling to settle upon the Missouri Compromise 4” . . line, and her reasonable proposition was treat ed with the contempt. And now. because she is disposed to resist insult, wrong, contempt and degradation, earth contains no spot so bidemts*'as South Carolina-no people so defoitned, so sinful, so hellish as bars! ! One thing is ceriain, friends are springing up to sustain her in every Prejud.ces are w. respected as a resolute detenmnationiWHl just cause. Scull! This state is the object of much unjust censure and abu-e. She has been goaded to desparation by wrongs to which no gallant people should submit. We have ne'er un dertaken to become one of her outside advi sers. Common delicacy has forbid the in trusion of our advice. One suggestion we wold make, however, to the othern Southern Stales. Let them give South Carolina a fair chance. If they have any affection for her. if they would keep her in the Union, let them hold the Southern Convention. South Carolina is ready aud willing to go into that. Let that convention demand of the North, an explicit acknowledgement of the right of the people of the Southern states to move to the territo ries use, and enjoy them with their slave pre perty, without molestation and difficulty. L* t them further demand exemption from anti slavery agitation and injustice, and we be lieve South Car olina will link her heart, her hopes, her fortunes with her Southern sisters, if justice should be done she would be con tent. Now we believe the South could ob tain j stice by uniting and demanding it. The Southern Rights press will sustain the Convention. What say the Constitutional Union Press? Will you sustain the convention to gel jus tice and preserve the Union? Il you will not, your mouths should be stopped against re proaches of South Carolina. Do you want justice? If you do, let us hold the convention and get it. Rem mber,a good watch prevents harm You must know that the North is, at this momrnt, ashostile to the institution ol the South as at any former period. You must know if this hostility progresses, as i* has done for a few years past, it must des troy the Union. Away then, with party pre judices that cover with films the eyes of thou sands of our people. Let the Southern states give South Carolina a fair chance, give them selves a fair chance, and all may be well. What say the Press of lhe South? Will they spea' ? Mark the answers. If the Union Press are found denouncing any such movement it will prove their recreancy to Southern Rights. Slaveholdors, those of you who belong to the constitutional Union party. Your in terests are deeply involved. Your property as matters now stand, is doomed to destruc tion. The papers of the North, almost with out exception, now hold that the Union is stronger than slavemy. This sentiment is proclaimed every where al the North. IT IS BELIEVED TO BE TRUE. The en timetit is universal. You can easily see how it prevents jus.ice being done you. You, of all people in the South, should be most united in demanding justice. We appeal to you, therefore, to befriend yourselves. If you will, your fellow citizens,who own no slaves, will stand by you. If you will not sustain your rights, others will by degrees drop off from you, and. in the course of t me a large anti slavery party will rise up around you in your very mids'. This party with the North against you wi'l crush you to destruction. This is plain talk, but it is the honest truth. Let wise men ponder if The Kight Doctrine. We take great pleasure in copying the fol lowing article from that w hole sotiled South ern rights paper, the Georgia (Macon) Te legraph. Itspraks for itself and goes right plump up to ti>e right point. The Telegraph under old party distinctions, was perfumed all over with the very breath of Democrac*. We give the Telegraph the right hand of fellowship as cordially as if we had here-l totore drank from the f i The Gubernatorial Convention.—The l , I eyes of all true men are turned to the asaem • I bling of this body in a few short weeks, and . . the deepest anxiety will be felt everywhere throughout the State in »lie result of its ' deliberations. We are admonisned by a I solemn sense of duty to our country and , principles, to offer a few remarks this morti , ing, in this connexion, and our friends must pardon us if we make them in all plainness | and frankness of speech. ; The issues upon which the approaching i i elections will turn tn this State, may be regar l ded in two points of view—our local internal I affairs, and our external Federal relations. ■ We purpose, in the progress of the canvass to j say much upon each of the issues involved, as 1 ■ they are connected with the great questions ; before the people. But at present we shall . content ourselves with a brief reference to one of the questions which must enter large ly into the approaching campaign. For many reasons, the present is a fit occasion, 'o . ; hold a reckoning with one another. There ! 1 1 is no use of jumping around or over the issues which the approaching ■ lections will evolve. We had better meet theta flatly, and known what we contend lor. The principles ar.d ‘ policy of our great and grow ing S ale, are about, in solemn conven'ion of both parties, > to be decbred for the ensuirg two years, and . it may be for a much longer time. Snail we . ' now speak out plain y,or shall we cheat and ■ delude one another? Timid politicians may coun sel the State to slur over the great questions ' before the country, but we tell our readers, • that unless the Convention called by the friends with whom we have acted, takes trong ! and decided grounds, the great body of the Southern Right! party wiii nut feel bound by its action. The popular mind of that party, has not yet, thank God. pa-sed under the yoke; its faculties and energies are yet strong and un impaired, and we tell our delegates to beware. Let the Convention speak in no weak or un- i ce-tain voice. There is no platform unon ' upon which the opponents of the Compromise ; aud its friends can meet, but an acknowledge- j ment, by the latter, of the perfect equality of • the South in the Confederacy, and her right to regulate her own internal policy wi'hout molestation from the General Government. Anv other platform would be but a cowardly capitulation to the enemy. The affinity of c-arties and party names is no'hing. For our own part, we prefer that the old issues ot the Soul hern Rights party, which have been again and again affirmed and sustained, be newly declared bv the Convention; for they are the essence, not only of Democratic principles, but of State Rights. Let the Convention declare that whatever powers we have delegated to the general good, we still concede, but not one inch more That in maintaining our rights under the Constitution, we shall sacrifice, it needs be, not only old party ties and old party favorites,but the older and dearer favorite— the ve rv Union itself. And let this voice, at the same time declare that so dear is the Union, in our eyes, and so criminal are those who have periled its safety, either by direct attacks, or the no less fatal plan of comp omising irrefragable rights that we wnl not look cn him who has aided either scheme, bv his active efforts, or stood by, permitting or sympathising bv his silence. It this is com manded and toe behest listened to, contemp nble time servers woo were atraid to choose between their country and her opressors when the storm raged, will again feel the spell, and me people the prestige of the Constitution. But it these 'ndispensible considerations shall be disregarded or compromised—if power lor the hands of a set of men, and not stability and vitality for our principles shall be the ..real concern, we had tar belter not meet at all. - Troubles of the Submissionists. The Savannah Republican has been show ing up what it calls “troubles in the South ern Rights ca np.” Let us exhibit a little ol ts own tiggtty iwistification. Il has admitted that it could hardly hold up its head after the i.ratt’s and Siiadrach’s cases in Boston.— I Those cases in its opinion disgraced the city We saw that it looked towards from the east in WroTT of Sims. He was given up and the Republican tell happy as a poor sinner dream ing of Heaven. We have exhibited a few ovidences of its felicity. On the 2d inst. it said : “That the abolitionists of the north will still continue their dirty work, and that the dis unionists at ihe South will persevere in de nouncing the law as inefficient, we do not doubt.” If it would only put on a pair of spectacles without glasses, it would be able to see that the law is inefficient unless the recovery of a slave, (worth less than a thousand dollars) at a cost of from five to ten thousand dollars, makes it efficient. It is said that a man looses his time even if he goes early to a bad bargain. It has been worse with the South for she has lost an em pire by the bargain She gave an empire to get back fugitive slaves ata cost much great er than their value. That paper further says : “The patriotic and sensible, however, com prising a vast majority of th j American peo ple, will experience a degree of gratification at the result, seldom felt on any occasion where merely the enforcement ot a law is involved.” It ought to be exceedingly gratifying to the South to get back her fugitives upon such terms. If all of Mr. Potter’s property con sisted in fugitive slaves, worth a million of dollars, and it took two millions to get them back, how much would he be worth ! What a splendid reason for "gratification !” We shall lock for a new work on finance soon, the basis of which will be the apparently heterodox position that it ought to be a source of gratification to get one dollar ata loss of two! The Republican says again : “It is hoped that the troubled waters will henceforth be still, and that the people will rest quiet in the consciousness that they live under a government possessing lhe will and the power to maintain its laws.” No doubt our Savannah eoleinporary would be pleased to see the people become quiel ! lie lalks about the "troubled being henceforth still. All the above was put forth on the 2181. Now for sjmethmg al sunrise on the 22d. Yea, in twenty four hours after the above was published to the world, it discoursed as follows. It is raving about the denial of Faneuil Hall to Mr. Webster: “The cause of these extraordinary proceed ings is io be found in ihe suuport which the President and Mr. Webster have given to the constitution and the compromise. Had they lent themselves to the agitators, or like Se ward, exerted themselves to prolong and in crease lhe excitement wi«h which the North and South are anke cursed, not only Faneuil Hu'l but their tiearts would have been thrown wide open to them. it is our duly in view i f these proceedings, to abate somewhat the praise we were dis posed yesterday to accord to the authorities of Boston lor the part they iiad taken in tne recent fugitive slave case. Well has the Bee remarked—“tbe iff-Ct of the recent decisive movements on lhe part ot the officers and citi zens, in carrying out th laws of the land, has be-n completely destroyed by a majority ol he aldermen ol B. ston.” that paper re gards tnese proceed.ngs as “tlie greatest in still ever offered to the citizens of Boston,” aud says they have “stamped upon the capilol ol Massachusetts a di-grace which can never be blotted out.” Buch is, the language of one of tnetr own papers, and we are disposed to think it is merited.” Now the Republican abates somewhat the ■ ; praise it had bestowed on Bi ston. She is 1 again di-graced. I The conduct of the people of Boston consti j lutes a kind ot politico-moral sliding scale lor i the Republican to roll upon head up intoecsta | cy,or heels up into a mud hoie. This is an un pleasant fix to be in and the people of Boston ought to do one thing, or another, to keep more permanent posture. S.iv.u,-.. ■: 1 e- WJlrof the position taken by Southern rights men, that tlie South ought to suffer herself to be no longer befooled by either Northern canning or Southern folly and imposture. We would recommend to the Republican to r ad over again the proceedings of the New York cotton Southern trade-loving Union meet ing. That will be a good medicine for it, es pecially if it will shut its eyes and stop its > ars against the acts and sayings of almost the universal North. We feel sorry for our cotemporary and others who are in the same box with him. Col. Albert J. Pickett, ot Alabama, a gen iiemau ol scholarship and great historical re- j search, has been engaged for some years in , preparing a history of that State. His work j i will soon be ready for publication. 11 C The obnoxious law of Pennsylvania re . pealed—l’he legislature of Pennsylvania i adjourned on Tuesday last. Previous to ad j journment a bill passed both houses to repeal i > the obnoxious law of 1847, which denied the i , f use of the jails of the State for temporary safe keeping of alledged fugitive slaves. Wei haven't space to comment uoon 'his inter esting fact this morning. It is due to the great State of Pennsylvania however, to say, . that by this act she has not only wiped a foul ' blot irom her own statute book, but she has I entitled herself to the respect and thanks of , the whole country. —Sav. Republican. What a tremendous act of patriotism to j allow a fugitive slave to bo put in a Pennsylva- I ma jail! Why, we are almost afraid that our | northern bretlierr, by such acts of liberality I and kii.dne-s will steal away the very souls ! of some of our Georgia submissionists. The j souls of some people in Georgia are already stolen. j Southern Democracy—The Na tional Parly—How i* it? The Nashville Union (Democratic) says: “ There is, as we think, but one hope of putting Sewardism down, and that is by the mass of the democratic power of the country rallying on the non-intervention platform and the faithful maintenance of the Compromiie as it stands as a final adjustment of the sec tional issues. The leading regular demo cratic journalism of the north takes this ground. On this ground the undivided South sltou.d rally round the democratic banner.” Against these coalescing elements of sed ition the sound Union democracy of the North, marshalled under the lead ot every one of its great parly chiefs of national name, and cheer ed on by the collective force of its leading and influential journalism, has uniled, is uniting, or will unite and battie to the last in the causi of good faith io ihe South. 11 th,e South stands by I hem in lhe contest lhe battle will be won Is that the plan? What will Georgia Southern Rights Democracy say toil? Are they called lo coalesce with the Northern Democracy again, to win the battle in a Pres idential fight? And the-proposition is, to take lhe compromise which they have scorned, hissed and spit upon, and hug it as a darling measure of right arid justice! Th're never was a greater humbug in politic., than this Northern nonintervention platform. Why, Geneial Cass, who ran upon it, admits that 1116 South was to be excluded by it from the Territories. It was non-intervention by name and nothing else —a kind kind of political traud, to plaster over Southern honor and give us an apparent retreat without naked dis- grace. This plan of the Nashville Union would con vert the Democratic Southern Rights party, in'o a Union compromise submission parly with no more principle than the present sub mission party, aud less re-pectability.. won’t take, or we have looked through the Something for Slaveholders to Read. We copy the fellowiug from the New-York Tribune. It is unnecessary to add a word of comment - The article speaks for itself, in its taunting, hissing, poisonous words: Had the free Stales been manly enough true enough lo enact lhe Wilmot proviso as to all present or future ter' itories of the Union we should have had just about lhe same didoes cut up by the. chivalry that we have witnessed, and with, no more damage to the Union.— Whenever secession shall be seriously 'hreai ened because of Northern resislance to slave ry extension, we shall see that the slave holders are not all the people of the Southern States nor a majority of them, though they now seetn not to realize it. In slavebreeding Maryland and Virginia, two thiras of the legal voters would to-day prefer the Union without slavery, to slavery wilhoul lhe Union. And this sentiment is just ripening in all the Southern States, with three or four exceptions. Abolitionists Petitioning for Mr. Web stek. —We find the following curious para graph in the Boston Journal: “ A petition was presented yesterday by J. P. Jewett and fourteen others, freesoilers, re questing the Mayor and Aidermen to recon sider their voe, and not to be influenced by the recent action of the board in refusing Faneuil Hail for thefreesoil convention. The petitioners say they would be happy to assist the officers of the law in securing the utmost freedom of soeech and the quiet and good or der of the city.” The New-York Day Book, noticing the refusal of the use of Fnneuil Hall to Daniel Webster, by the city fathers of Boston, says, “It is a pity Daniel’s hair is not kinky—then he conld speak any where in Boston and on any thing.” The Meditated Attack on Cuba.— Speaking ot the prevalent rumors on this sub ject, the New York Commercial Advertiser of Tiiursday says : •‘lt is impossible as yet to ascertain correct ly the extent of the preparations made, if any hsve indeed been seriously entered upon, for a second attempt to disturb Spair. in the pos session of the island of Cuba. The idle boastings ot some Southern journals, ard the bold hoaxes practised by one paper in this city, on the eve of tbe former attempt, taken in connection with lhe full contradicii n in the miserable issue ol thai vaunted project, neces sarily desiray all confidence in the renewed eclamation about the Cubans being prepared to shake off'the Spanish yoke, and so over flowing with revolutionary zeal that they are determined to ‘be the first to strike the biuw for their own freedom ’ We can only say that the Cubans, according to the papers which are so Josi to all sense of nations, hon or as to defend the invaders, are wondrousiy inactive, and all this talk about revolutionary impatience, and seem to be as far from striking any blow, except at the invaders, as th?> were when Gen. Lopez’s misguided fforde had so remarkable a specimen ot iheir readi ness to cooperate in revolutionizing the Is land.” (From the Marietta Advocate.) Marieetta, April, 15 1851. Democratic Republican Meeting.- According to previous notice, a portion of the Democratic Party of Cobb county met in the court House, this day, for the purpose of appointing delegates to the Convention to be held al Milldgeville to nominate' a candidate for Governor. The meeting was organized by calling W. S. Echols, E-q., to the chair, and appointing T. H. Moure to act as Secre tary. On motion, a committee of eleven was ap pointed to select four suitable persons to rep resent Cobb county in said Conventkn. During the absence of the committee, the meeting was entertained by an animated speech from J. O. Gartrell, Esq., who showed very conclusively the insincerity of the self styled Constit itionai Union Party. Mr. G. in conclusion declared Inm-elf in favor of the Jndg's and Solicitor Generals elected by the people. The committee returned, and reported the nam°s of the following gentlemen as dele gates ; Gi.rrett Gray, Esq., 01. George Roberts, Dr. G. Tennet, and Samuel N. Ma loney, Esq., Resolved, That should any vacancy occur tTEarffelegates till tlie uacaticy. Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered the Chairman and Secretary. Resolved, That this meeting approve of the suggestion to hold the Gubernatorial Con vention on the 30th day of May, and recoin mend the other counties to select delegates t< meet at Uii'edgeville on that day. The meeting then adjourned. W. S. ECHOLS, Chairman. T. H. Moore, Secretary. (From the Southern Recorder.) State Fair. Macon, April 20th, 1851. Messrs Grieve &.

Mr. Calhoiia’s Opinions. No man in the United^.lei tuttw acquired a higher auiliodiy-DV-r opinion than Mr. Cal n,mn—not eXen Mr. Jefferson. No man’s opinions haye been so frequently enacted into law and remain <»n ’lit? bfani p bonk. Mr. Calhoufi aced j-oh • tinea with e pa-ty and st mrfimes wilt. atm.tier, but always a-a ead er? When the war of 1812 was declared, Mr. Calhoun made the r port to the House Twiten the late Bank ol ihe United Slates was chartered, the act was framed in accordance "with the in opposition to tl.e p.evn.u project. When the censure of ihe benate was pronounced on General Jackson for removing the deposits, the resolution was in Mr. Calhoun’s words. When lhe sub- treasury was propr-aed, its principal feature, lhe specie clau e, was the work of Calhoun He gave orc ?r efficiency and ecor my to the Depar.- mrn or War, when h presided over it. VV,-e . Secretary of Stale, he conducted the m,negation of Texas, and indicated the basis j- settling the Oregon question, which had to tc inlopted. Whenever Mr. Calhoun’s opinions were in a-cordance with the policy of others, they were quoted, and extolled to extravagance. But wit n they we e adverse, no man en countered i-o muc , invective. Scribblers of every degree, but particularly those whose pretensions to thought, reason, knowledge, politics'or phio-opby, were so infinitessim illy minute as to be beyond the poweof decimal ex pression, have attempted to acquire uoti'-e fc by the noise and animosity of their attacks on him—besides some whose only claims to no tice were founded on former professions of his doctrines—professions which constitued ttieir only claimsto be read. • When M . Calhoun offered the resolution that every State on its admission into the Uu ton, had a right to choose its institutions, no lavor was accorded to it by his opponents The Wilmot Proviso was then the favorite. When it was afterwards found that, owing to ihat movement of the North, the people of the South had been determed from colonizing California, and that it was in the possession ol Northern men, so that tiie Wilmot Proviso was secured, then all were for Mr. Calhoun’s doctrine—it was the true doctrine, the only doctrine. The right "of forming their own institutions was so sacred and potential, that it extended to every sort of inhabitants or oc cupants ofa territory, and authorized them to take as much of it as they pleased. Mr. Cal houn, it appearo at length, did not understand his own resolution, lie declared that lhe ad mission of California as was proposed and was finally done, to he wor-e than the Wilmot Proviso—m re fraudulent and more insulting for insulted it the understanding as well as the feelings otirhe «St>uth. Bui the holy allies o ag gression and - übeniasion stoutly insisted they were going .<» transfer lhe territory to the Nonh Mr. Calhc uu's principles, and that he did noi understand them —o had descr.ed them; But lhe musi . ingular use of Mr. Calhoun’s pinions, or rather ol Ins name, that we have vet seen, has been by General Hamilton in his recent letter to tl.e people of Billion, South Carolina,explaining why lie oid not deliver a eulogy there on Mr. Calhoun: General Hamil un says Mr. Calhoun did not contemplate the separate secession of South Carolina. Well that i- no doubt very true. No body whilst Mr: Calhoun lived did, for it was not until long alier his death that the events occurred of the retreat of the other Southern States from the position they hud assumed. Mr. Calhoun contempla t'd no such thing as that. He would have scorned to speculate on such a hypothesis. He therefore express no opin ion on such a contingency, n uGeneral Hain a favorite notion o! Ins own in the fact that Mr. Calhoun expressed no opinion about it. It Mr. Calhoun had ived, tie would doubt less have foimed and expressed an opinion on the present emergency. But to invoke his authority on one sine or theotiier in South Carolina,ou lhe ground that lie never expres sed an opinion on ihe subject, is an eu'.i.ely n< w exploit in the art of persuasion We should not have referred to this subject at ail, but lor tlie general notice taken ol General Hamilton’s letter in the Northern aud submission papers' '•early all of them volun nrily fail into the conclusion which the adroit language ol Gen ral Hamilton was de signed to indicate—that because Mr. Cal hotiti had sa d nothing about a contingency not expected to happen, therefore he would have done nothing. We have abstained fr< in expressing eny opinion on the course for South Carolina to pursue. She has been deserted, thus far, by all those State-,excep; Mississippi, which en tered into tne common pu-dg- a ot mutual ai and concert. It would be mdelicaie in other States to advise her, much less for individuals. The question is a differ nt one now with her, from what it was to the other Southern stales tha : have submitted. They would not have acted aione, if they had acted stall, for they kn • . ihut South Carolina was ready to co operate. They had todecide the question ol ii sis’auce witli cc-operation. She has to de c.d ■ for or against resi-taiice, without co-op • ihisnr. They had tn d'--<-rm:nc whether they w eld redeem the pledge made in common w tii otters. South Carolina has no pledge to others to redeem except so far as Miss issippi may act, and there is no difference of op mon in South Carolina, as to her course in that event. The great question now belongs to South Carolina for herself. And no Slate has more sagacity, courage, prudence, and good sense than sue has todecide it.
