The latter is dangerously injured Some 60 persons have b- ett arrested and confined in Bergen county jail. Good News for Horses.—The Harris buig (Pa.) “Journal” states that Mr T M Coleman lias tiled a caveat for an improve ment tn India rubber horse-collars and sad- ' dies, which are in: ated with air, instead of beingstuffed as is now the case. If the air can be retained at the very point of pressure, this will prevent chafing, and be a great re lief to the noblest of domestic animals— the I i horse. We shall then expect to see this in. vention in general use, as humanity demands that even to the creature “the back should be united to the burden. Fiont the Southern Press The test of Nationality The friends ot Mr. Webster have always held him tt|> as the very embodiment of “na tionality.” They lauded him, in his own lan guage, as the representative of “our country, our whole country, and nothing but our coun try.” In nis recent speech at Buffalo he has .reiterated that sentiment of peculiar Northern “nationallity,” which his successor, Mr. Sum ner, asserts as “the true principle of the Con stitution,” avid “according to which, freedom, and not slavery, is national, while slavery, and not freedom, is sectional." He regards the acquisition of free-soil only as national, while that upon which the negro treads in submis sive servitude is put under the ban of his “nationality.” We annex the extract from his recent speech containing this very “nation al” sentiment, preceded by two others from his speeches in 1848 and 1850, in order to show that he “treads no steps backward,” and that with him negro slavery never had any of the “odor of nationality” about it: “By this time the efforts of Whit’s alone had raised a strong excitement in the North AGAINST THE ANNEXATION OF SLAVE TERRITO RY. I say the Whigs alone, for nobody belonging to the other party, North or South, East or West, stirred a finger in that cause; or if there were any, they were so few as not to be discernible in the mass, until the Whigs of New England, Ohio, «nd other midale States, had accomplished a great ex citement and new feeling in the public mind. And then this portion of the Democracy of New York, denominated the Barnburning par ty, seized upon this state of excitement thus brought about by tie Whig effort, and attach ed this principle to their creed, to give them a preeminence over their rivals.”—Speech at Abingdon, Mass., 1848. i “For myself, I will say that we hear much of the annextion of Canada; and if there be any man who supposes it necessary to insert ’ a Wilmot Proviso in a territorial government for New Mexico, that man will of course be • of opinian that it ia. necessary to protect ’ the everlasting suown pf Canada from the ‘ foot of slavery, by theisame pver-powqring ’ wing of an act of Congress. Sir, wherever ■ there is a foot of land to be staid back fom becoming slave territory, I AM READY TO ’ ASSERT THE PRINCIPLE OF THE f EXCLUSION OF SLAVERY. lam pledg ed to it again and again; and will perform those 1 pledgesfbut I will not do a thing unnecessary, ' that wounds the feelings of others.”—Speech “ in Senate, March 7, 1850. ' I contend, and have always contended, that after the adoption of the Con stitution, any measure of the government cal culated to bring slave territory into the United •_ Slates, was beyond the power of the Consti " tution, and againt its provision. * * * * And I never would consent that there should be one foot of slave territory beyond what the old thirteen States had at the time of the formation of the Union Never, never, NEVER.”—Speech at Buffalo, May 22,1851: This is the least aggressive policy propo sed by those States which now wield the fed eral power, under the forms of the Constitu tion, in reference to slavery. What can shield the South from the appalling conse quences that would neces-arily result from it, it pushed on in practice ? As her population increases, and its swelling tide sweeps over her present boundaries her surplus whites, but retains her biacks, what shall save her from a fate similar to that which bfcfel Si. Domingo? Will the compromising Unionists point to a power wi.hin the Constitution that could avert its evils and its dangers? Do ihey look to the exercise of the authority to “suppress insu-rection ?” and expect a stand ing army of Northern baynots will protect Southern property and peace ? The very idea is as idle as it is absurd. No: within the pale of a constitution thus perverted from its original inrent, and a Union thus converted into an instrument of oppres sion and ruin to one section of the confedera cv, there would exist no safety and no hope for the slaveholding States. The very in stinct of self preservation would ccmpel a separation from those alien to them in policy, in principle and in inter st, and who sought to treat them as wolves do lambs, “ covering and devouring them.” Daniel Webster, the head and front of the administration, and of the compromisers, may coalesce in principle with his apparent anti pode Charles Sumner, in this construction of rhe constitution, and both may join in swelling the chorus of “this cry of Union.” Yet, unless Southern spirit has grown colder than that which animates the breast of the Rus sian serfs, and Southern intelligence sank to the level of that of their slaves—aye, and below it—tho -Jay of rhe consummation of 'heir joint drenched, it may be, with fraternal blood.” The fanatical frenzy of the one is not half so dangerous to the perpetuity of peace, and of this Union, as the cold blooded calculating policy of the other. Both stand on the same broad platform now ; both by the same means seek to compass the same end; and the nationality of Northern compromisers nar rows itself down to the same limits as those which embrace the Free-soilers, whose de signs they hypocritically pretended to abhor and to resist. The “Veiled Prophet” of the compromise has dropped the concealing veil at last, and in this last “ great speech” seems disposed to repay the devotion of his deluded votaries at the South in the same spirit, as his prototype; and, pointing back to the re suds ol his opinions and his policy, to ex claim, Here ye wise Saints, behold your lord, your star! Ye would be dupes and victims— and ye are. The Maryland Murders—The murder ers discovered. —We learn from a gentle man who came up yesterday afternoon from Chestertown, says the Baltimore American, that the full particulars of this most brutal murder have at length been developed, and that the fiends who were the principal actors are among the persons now confined in the Chestertown jail. It will be recollected that uhortlyafter the mutder was committed, it was stated 1 hat a certain female Delaware had intimated that she knew all about the matter, but all attempts to find out her whereabout proved fruitless until a few days since, when It was ascertained that she was residing in New Jersey. On Friday last she was brought to Kent County, and upon her representation a man named Shaw arrested in New Castle County, Delaware, and brought to Chester town on Saturday night last. On Sunday Shaw made made full confession, acknowledg ing that he was one of the party at Cosden’s house on the night of the murder; that he was induced to go there for plunder only; that Abe Taylor shot Mr. Cosden from the outside, and also shot Mrs. Cosden when she came into the yard; that Shelton entered the house and mur dered Miss Cosden. and afterwards went up stairsand killed Miss Webster—that although Murphy and himself were present during the time, neither of them had anything to do with the murder. He stated that he (Shaw) was bitterly opposed to the murder. It will be seen that tiie statement of Shaw corroberates most o. the facts alleged by Drummond, now th j’ail, alluot gh that innivwual varied his statements in regard to the details so much that his confession could hardly be credited. Drummond was not one of the party engaged in the murder, as he has always strenously as serted, and Shaw entirely acquits him of all participation Crops, dtc< In Alabama.—The Huuttvills Advocate of the 21st May says: The very warm weather with which we have been favored for the last ten days his effected a most wonderful change in the ap pearance < f the crops. Better stands of cot ton were never known, and the plant looks hardy and thrifty. Corn looks well. Wheat is very promising and so are oats. A li'tle rain, however, about this time, would help matters, and cause every thing to grow with more rapidity and vigor. The Tuscaloosa Monitor, of May 22d, says: There is much complaint of want of rain in this section, several weeks having elapsed since we have had even a respectable shower. Cora and cotion are suffering by this drought, and the gardens a e completely parched up. For some days pa-t the heat has been ex- I cessive for this season ; and, at tha present ! writing, there are no indications of rain. The Selma Enterprise of May 22d, says : During the last two weeks the weather has been very warm and dry. As yet the corn and c< tton crops have suffered but littie for ! want of rain, and they present al the present i time fine prospects, w hen the cold weather of the early part ot the spring is considered.— Rain however, is wanted.

Miss Richardson has been re-engaged for a few nights, and appears to night in the char acter of Rosina Meadows, in the Drama of that name. This play, together with the farce of the Two Gregories, makes a rich bill of fare. “ Fast.” The Constitutionalist of Sunday morning, in a notice of the Theatre, says : “ It will be seen by the bill that Miss Sin clair, that general favorite with the play goers, who has played and sung all the leading comic parts during tlie season, will take her benefit TO NIGHT.” We were not aware, till we saw it in the Constitutionalist, that the Theatre was open in this city on Sunday night. Augusta, it seems, is getting as bad as New Orleans. Is there “ a fast man'' connected with the Con stitutionalist ? - (ET’Editoria! matter is excluded from this day’s paper to make room for several commu mcations, &c, Southern Rights Convention. We have never seen a Convention more harmonious, more enthusiastic, more determ ( ined than that whose proceedings, will be found upon our first page. The defeat of last fall had left no depression upon the mind of its mem- I bers, and new light, new hopes, and new courage animated every man to do his duty i in the great struggle now just beginning be- I tween the compromisers and the friends of : justice and equal rights. ’ Democrats and Whigs who had, in other ’ days, met as opoonents upon many a hard . fought field, took each other by the hand witn • an honest, warm and even affectionate cor -1 diality, appropriate to the crisis of common dinger which has come upon them. The i sordid sentiment of who should get the spoils, ■ who should be advanced to offices of honor and > emolument, seemed to be banished from every r man’s bosom. The ruling motive with all , was to serve the State, to resist wroug, to t maintain our equality, and to hold on to the ’ Union, established by our Fathers, if we can ’ enjoy within it the rights and liberties which it was formed to secure and perpetuate. Read the Placorm which they have subtnit- ■ ted to the people of Georgia. It is worthy ! of the support of the people, for, it is in strict accordance with the sacred Charter of our liberties. It suggests nothing in violation of > it. It proposes nothing to which patriotism can object, or from which the nw»l fastidious prudence cau shrink. i The long cherished doctrines of the Vir ; ginia and Kentucky resolutions—the sever" eignty of the States—the right ot secession— ' opposition to unjust and protective tariffs—to . vast schemes of internal improvement by the 1 general government —to consolidation, that I bottomless gulf of ruin for the South—are ’ among the republican principles embodied in . the resolutions. : Now, friends of Georgia, of the South: the ' cause of truth, of justice, of equal rights, of our domestic of our very <-y tston.. t assuriii caus*. Let no di - visions, no jealousies, no ancient prejudices! retard our onward progress. Our Standard J Bearer is a man of purity, wisdom, firmness , and patriotism. He stands high in the con i fidence and affections of the people of Geor gia. He is not only a wise statesman, but a good man. We have guaranties in the many virtues which cluster about and adorn his • character, of the honesty and virtue of his i political purpose. But we shall say no more ' at present. This much in conclusion.— I Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Let t every lover of his State and section be vigi- • lant from the beginning to the end ot the con test, Let every man do his duty. Let all be working men this one time more. We thought we saw at the Convention signs of returning day. Golden clouds streaked the eastern horizon. We await confidently the rising of the sun. Nowthen, with the right spirit and untiring effort, let us go into the , field of battle, and, it Heaven has not forsaken the South forhersins, our triumph will be certain. Whose toes are Pinched? Tite Chronicle &. Sen inel of Saturday, in announcing the nomination of the Hon Charles J. McDonald, as theSoutiiern Rights candidate for the office of Governor, ex presses ils pleasure—because, says that sapient sheet, the memory of the condemnation ofhis former administiation is yet fresh in the minds of the people. Those Democrats, now acting with the Fillmore Consolidation party in Georgia, strong fiiends of the form r administration of Gov. McDona.d, will not be excessively pleased, we think, with this reckless hit of the Chtonlcle’s. It is sad and painful to be wounded in the house of a friend. The Chronicle should not pinch the toes of its newly converted converts to Federalism so hard. Dont crowd the mourners. Hon. Thomas H. Williams.—This dis tinguished citizen died recently at his resi dence in Pontotoc, Miss. The cause of South ern Rights has lost 14 bis death, a bright and j devoted advocate. I Murderous Women—The women are get ting to be formidable antagonists, it seems, and Jane Young, ofTugaloo River South Ca rolina, who entered the Banner office on a sanguinary mission not long since, is not the t only one who knows how to handle a pistcl and bowie knife. A widow, named Mason, walked into Law- 1 yer Wilson’s office, at Cincinnati, a few days I since, and shot him twice with a pistol, but : without killing him.

District, So. Ca , / May 27th, 1851. s Messis. Editors,:—lt is seldom that I vrite to you. but that Tugaloo scrape has so exci ted my risible faculties, that I have been in continently seized with scabus scribendi in my digital extremities. We have an account in sacred history of ’ a man whose predilections were for the gloom , | and mephitic air of the toombs. Though in ■ chains, he was exceedingly fierce, and doubt less very patriotic. It seems that “ Tugaloo” has a like fancy to Toombs; is equally as fierce, as patriotic, and as willing to be immo lated on the “ altar of his country ” Methinks history informs us, that the fi"* 1 was possessed with an evil spirit, which made ] him a foe to all social and political organiza tions, as well as incapacitated him for the ra tional enjoyment of civil and religious liberty. The other is, I fear, so much under the in fluences emanating from Toombs, that he has become a conspicuous mark for the women of Tugaloo. There is this substantial differ, ence between them ; the one was cured by 1 plain demonstration of the truth; the olhe can not be convinced by ‘slight forms and grey eyes,’ nor ‘ rifle bored pistols and bowie knives.” Ye Gods! what fearful combina tions are formed to exorcise the man of aloo memory. He bad better take care for the future hev he writes about Carolina politics, men and w men. For here are black spirits? red and grey Bold women and the chivalry. MED SATIS. LotM for our government. Female Medical College.—The second annual catalogue of this institutbn at Phi| a . delphia (Pa) shows that it .tow hts forty fe. male students of medicine, all of them being from Pennsylvania except six, one of whom hails from England two from Massachusetts, and one from each of the states of New York Ohio, and Vermont. The Government of Cuba seems to be deal ing summaiily and hardly with persons sut P'Ctedof conspiring against it. Says tje Delia. On the Sth of May, another victim ofSpa|-| ish despotism yielded up bis I’fe in the same manner that Montes de Oca bad done. Ee| was Carlos Collins, a native of Matanza-q ato a member of one of the best families of th»t city He was about twenty five years of age. Brave, sagacious, and devoted to bis country, be died under tho garote like a true patriot proclaiming to the last his “treason.” A still more conspicuous example of Ca ban devotion was the case of Manuel (I. Ramirez, aged twenty four. He was a hatd some, genial, generous, patriotic young 'man, of great learning—a profound ma’ heniat ciai). Although young he was the master spirit of the College of Cuba in which he filled tb« principal chair of learning. No young mn in the Island was more highly esteemed. He was especially beloved in Havana. Rarrerez had read too much to be a subject; he gave his prayers, his countenance, to the effort to liberate his oppressed Isle. Suspected, tried and convicted on the testimony of hired spies, he died hue a hero and patriot, professing with hie laet words, his devotion to the cause of his country’s freedom. The Drouth, —1 he very dry weather which we have had for the last month, is like ly to prove seriously injurious to the crop in ibis section. Corn is small and backward, and oats will prove almost a total fai'ure with out a speedy tall of rain. The stands of cot ton are tolerably fair, though so backward that fear is entertained that tiie early frosts of fall will cut short the crop. The wheat crop has sustained less injury than tyny other, »<id without some very unusual calamity, a lair average crop may be regarded a« certain.— ulu J The United States mail steamship Arctic, Capt Luce, left New York at noon on Satur day for Liverpool, with one hundred and for ty one passengers. She also takes out $424,- 500 in American gold, and £l6O in English silver. Among t) e passengers is Mr. Martin F. Tupper, the celebrated English author. Determined to be Married. —A young German girl, aged 15, who had run away from New Jersey with her lover to get mar ried, on finding him continually intoxicated after she got to Philadelphia, accepted the proposals there of another young man, and was married just before being caught by her father. How to do Business.—Advertise! He is a shrewd man who advertises. This i« pro verbial the world over. It is simply putting your goods, wares, merits, plans, suggestions and bargains &c., into the eyes of the uni versal public Every body reads the papers now a days." The Tallahassee Floridian of May 24th says- “We hear great complaints of the rava ges of the grasshopper on many plantations in the vicinity of Tallahassee. Some fields have been nearly destroyed. Others are tak ing the sore-shin —a species of diseases d most fatal io the young plant. From ail ire can learn,the prospects of the present crop have not been so unfavorable for years pait. As we stated last week, the crop is at least a month behind hand.” Anticipated Revolution in Cuba.—Tie Savannah Republican says: From SpantoJ letters which have come under our obserw tion, we learn that certain Cubans in ths country regard matters in Cuba as being in a state bordering on revolution. These letters give reason to believe that the cry of liberty would be raised on the 25th of the presait month. It may soon he in our power to gire our readers further particulars. Cotton Factories of New England.— The depressed state of the Cotton manufac ture of New England, is seen by the receipts | of Cotton at Boston, which have fallen off nearly one-half in two years. The receipts from Jan, 1, to May 15, in 1849, were 160,- 976 bales, during the same time in 1850, they were 157,724 bales, and in 1851, 95,936 bales. —. __ Sailing under Water.—The Paris Jonr-t nal des Debates states that a new species of j vessel destined, it is expected, tB solve the! great problem of sub marine navigation, has I been nonsuucted in the establishment of M > Cruesot. This ve-sel will proceed from Cruesot’s establishment, thro’Paris to Calais, i by sea, with the aid of its machinery; which is similiar to the propellers. In going out of the port of Calais it will plunge under wa:er, and re appear a few hours afterwards before D iver. Thence it will gain the Thames, which it wiil ascend to London, where it will figure at the exhibition, among the most inter- ■ esting productions of French industry and 1 genius. Wheat Crop.—The Wheat crop in this section as well as in the middle portion of the State, is very promising. Should no calamity befall it, the yield will be large. In a few days our farmers wiii be in the midst of the ha. vest. A general hope prevails that the coming in of the new wheat will reduce the prices of provisioas generally.

Hilliard and Judge gav> utterance, at the Court House the other day, ’o such infamous and atrocious sentiments as those which we quote below from the Advettiser: “ We understand that Messrs Hilliard and Judge both made out-and-out consolidation speeches, denying the right of a State to se cede lor any cause, without committing trea son and rebellion, for which one and all of j her citizens should be hung or shot, and that | these speeches were applauded by the meeting " Well, we are maintaining, in ou- humble way. the right of a State to secede from this unconstitutional, unjust and oppressive Union, and are advocating the expediency and neces sity of exercising that right just so soon as it can consistently be done, and according to these federal submission oracles, then, we “are traitors and deserve to be shot or hung.” Nay, all the members of the secession clubs at Benton and Cahawba, and all others in the State who are “setting their house in order with a view to secession,” are placed in the same uncomfortable category ! We know not how such sentiments may pass muster in Russia, China, or Belgium, but we shall take the liberty to say that in any country that pretends to be free, they should be branded as in the very last and lowest de gree infamous, and that any man in auch a country, not feeling himself to beta bis in most heart a cringing slave, who does no: look upon them with feelings of the most in tense and utter abhorrence and detestation, is false to every impulse of a freeman or a man —false to his country—to bis birthright, and to every thing connected with the sacred prin ciples of political, social and religious liberty. Could we believe that there were many in this/reeland who entertained such opinions, we should blu-h for our country, and should feel mat in abandoning it for a home in Tur key or Austria, we were leaving a land of serfdom and slavery, for a home of real, sub stantial and glorious liberty. Let that doctrine but once go out to the peo ple through these Southern States, as the sen timents of the new fartgled “ Union” or Tory uartv -!h>T sues n Hre of natrio*ic ind'pnation wit. be Kindled up throughout all tltfofemd as will soon rend the “glorious Union” into ten thousand fragments, and consign the authors of such monstrous doctrines to an infamy as deep and lasting as that of the tories and traitors of the Revolution. If this be the end and aim of the Southern “ Union” party, we consider the aggressive ef forts of tiie Northern abolitionists as harmless and praiseworthy in comparison. Let us take a calm view of this subject a moment, it it be possible. Once acknowledge that the Southern States have no right to se cede from this Union, and that any attempt to do so is treason, and the South is from that time forth enslaved, and to all intents and purposes, will bear the same political relation to the Aorih, as Ireland does to England. It is the universal sentiment in tho non slave holding states, that the greatest moral, social and political benefit and blessing that could possibly be conferred upon this country and the world at large, would be the abolition of slavery in the Southern States. This is now the avowed object of the abolitionists who are fast rising into power in every state north of the Potomac. In ten or fifteen years these men will have the power to change it to suit tiieir own fanatical notions of tight and expe diency. What will become of your slavei then, if you vre so ready to fall down now and kiss the oppressor’s rod, aud confess in his face, that secession is treason? Nay, take awaj from the North the fear of southern secession, and not twelve months will elapse before the abolitionists will com mence a new system of aggressions upon the south, that will throw all past outrages into insignifieance! Why, this new development is a thousands time worse than the Georgia platform submissionism for that docs recog nize the doctrine of secession. But it is unnecessary to pursue the subject. If the very mention of this new Hilliard doc trine is not enough to rouse up every man in the country to an instant determination to vindicate his rights and liberties, at ail hazards then his rights and liberties are lost forever, and the Unionists may save themselves all further Jeremiads about the downfall of liber- i ty in this country in the event of secession, for if this monstrous doctrine is to prevail ! the Genius ot Liberty that has heretofore pre- ! sided over this once happy land, has already j taken her fight from amongst us. All we wish to know now is, if these are the principles I that are to gouern the new Union party in this Etate. v’’"' uu " Rear. OR BILL JONES AMONG THE GtRLS. • Old Squire Parish was an hospitable old I soul. Every Friday evi ning, it was the da light of the girls of the Academy, and the I boys of the schools and Collage, to go out to old Squire Parish’s farm, about six miles l from town, and stroll in the woods, bathe in the creek, search the orchard and the ben nests, and turn everything about the prem isesupsidedown. And old Squire Parish would sit in his chimney corner, pipe in mouth, and tell them stories about the first settlement ofthe country, and how ‘Old Hick . ory’ whipped the Indians—for the old Squire jhadbeenin Jackson’s army—and never let i the boys go off without at h ast one story i about the‘old man,’ as the Squire delighted Ito caii the General, * * ! One Saturday, about the middie of the as- I ternoon, Bill Jones, a wild, harum-scarum j young fellow, of some sixteen winters, rode ! tpto the Squire’s door, and hailed the house | His summons was answered by that black ; ' young rascal, Josh, who told Jones that the ■ I Joys were gone squirrel hunting. ; ‘but you i i better believe, ’..ass Bill,’ continued Jo-h. j ' ithat the ga sis carrying on high. Whv, j Mass Bill, you can hear ’em squealing clean i up here.’ Jones a'on learned that the girls i had gone to their usual bathing place, which I was at the foot of a high precipice, and on ly approached on that side by a solitary foot- i path, which was guarded by ‘Dinah.’ On the olber side of the crees lay a broad sand bank, so that no one could approach it with out being seen. Jones had been to the Squire’s house so often, that be knew ail hie | stones‘by heart,’and ii was almost impossi ble to find the boys in the woods, so he de- termined to have some fun out of the girls. I About a quarter of a mile up tho creek lived ! ‘Old Aunt Judy,’ and there Jones, and his ! attendant, Josh, immediately proceeded.— j Wnile Josh went to the old woman, and for a fo’pence purchased tho largest gourd in her possession, Jones slipped behind the garden and threw off his clothes, and cutting off enough of the handle of the gourd to admit his head, and making two holes for his eyes, he slipped it on his bead and jumped into the stream. So soon as tho gourd reached the point above the bathing place, it commenced floating towards the shore, until within a few yards of the bathers, when it drifted against a limb which overhung thosltea n, and lodged. On one rock were three or four swimmers, alternately squatting down and rising upon their heels, and imitating the cry of the bull frog, when one would say ‘chug!’ they would all plunge into the water, frog fashion. At another place they were striving to duck each other while a third party were leading by force into the water a coy damsel, who had been too modest to undress before so many folks. But Jones’s gourd did not long re main unnoticed in the waler, and the damsel who espied it, sailed up to it, seized it, and with slight resistance it came off, disclosing the cnrly head of Bill Jones! Miss Betsy screamed, and Bill Jones yelled! Miss Betsv and the other bathers rushed up the bank, and Jones, in his fright and contusion, followed them. Here the girls turned on him, seized him, and threw him on his face, twined his arms around a sapling, and having bound his hands with a’kerchief, Jones lay defence less in the power of his captors. The girls now leisurely dressed themselves, and then each provided herself with a trim bireh or willow rod, and without further ceremony, be gan applying them to the back, sides and legs of poor Jones. Jones twisted, and Jones writhed; he drew himself up, and spread himself out; he begged and he prayed But in vain. His captors were insensible to pity until their arms were fatigued, and their rods frayed into ribbons. Alas for poor Jones he was not yet to escape. His tormentors provided themselves with fresh instruments _ M.»rl KtuLiouc-d tl»pmw<>lvoo in n rntv nlnmr jßtjC foot-path from trcutolhe wator’ii Jge and, on the rock from which he was to was posted a stout country lass, wfepse strength he had often tried in a wrestle and whose wind he had often tested in a‘brandi.nce. At last he was released, and told that he was to run the gauntlet. He could not but comply- Straightening himself up, and drawing a long breath, he started at full epeed, as he thought; but at every step, some thing touched him that accelerated his mo tions, a»d, as he was about to take the last, final leap, such a blow fell upon his rear that ■the sparks flew out ofhis eyes,and he bound ed half way across the stream at one leap! This rock has been known as ‘Jones Leap’ ever since. Without stopping to see any more of his fair friends Jones hastened to Aunt Judy’s cottage, dressed himself, gave Josh a thor ough kicking, borrowed a sheep skin from Aunt Judy, mounted his horse and rode slowly back into town. And, from that day to this, Bill Jones has never showed bis face, nor any other part of him, in good old Squire Parish’s house,, nor the stream that runs by its door. From the Federal Union, Extra.

M. i The Convention convened. i The Hon. Jos. Day, Chairman of the Com . mittee of thirty-three, having asked for leave ! to defer the report of said Committee, until to-morrow morning, At 8 o’clock ; leave was granted, and the Convention adjourned till that hour. Thursday Morning 8 o’clock. The Convention met according to adjourn ment. Mr. Day from the Committee, of thirty ' three made the following Report: The Committee, to whom was assigned the duty of reporting matter for the action of this r Convention, beg leave to submit the following 1 preamble and resolutions: . The Country is passing through an alarm ing crisis, in which the government of the e Union has undergone, and is in danger of still undergoing, fundamental changes in its feder p ative character. By the acts of the late Con gress, known as the Compromise measures, the Southern States, being a minority in Fed -1 eral numbers, have been deprived by high hand of all their interests in the Territories e acquired from Mexico; have been degraded , from their condition of equality in the Union ; I. have ben forced to surrender territory, un - _ questionably and legitimately their own. to ’ the use and enjoyment of the hireling States, thereby increasing the preponderance of votes ’’ already arrayed against them, and have been compelled to witness and endure the insidious act of the abolition of the slave trade in the r ’ J istrict of Columbia, which can only be re garded as the entering wedge to measures in tended to end in the overthrow of »er cherish „ ed Institutions. The Government is under g°'ng changes equally marked and momen tous in the open assumption of powers, touch ~ ing finance and revenue, the collection and d sbnrsement of the public money, the schemes at intcroal Impruvemeuts, and squandering ’ of the public lands, tending directly to a cor ruption and consolidation of the Government, 0 and utterly unknown to the Constitution, as „ understood by the makers of that instrument, b and as heretofore interpreted by all parties in |r the South. Be it therefore Resolved, That in the pre _ sent eventful crisis it is vitally important for the salvation of the South and the maintenance _ of the rights of the States that the Republican doctrines of ’9B and ’99 as embodied in the g Virginia and Kentucky resolutions, be main tained with unflinching firmness, and that among them we recognize the so lowing: 2. Resolved, That the States as separate and equal sovereignties formed the Constitu tion. s, 3 Resolved, That each State by its own convention deliberated upon and determined for 1. itself the question of the ratification or rejec 1. tion of that Constitution, and that it came £ into the Union by its own sovereign and vol untary act, therefore this is a Union of con- sent and not of force. ( 4. Resolved, That each State in view of the voluntary natu-e of the Union, has the right j in virtue of its independence and sovereignty, of seceding from the Union whenever the people thereof, in their sovereign capacity, shall determine such a step to l e necessary to t effect their safety or happiness ; and of con sequence, that the General Governmenthas no j authority to attempt by military force or other wise, to restrain a State in the exercise of such sovereign right. 5. Resolved, That whenever the Govern ment, by an exertion of the common force of all or an application of the common funds ol . all acquires territory, it is the duty of that ■ Government to secure to all equality of rights in such territory, and to remove all impedi ments within its power to the enjoyment of this equality of rights. 6 Resolved, That the Federal Government has no right to withhold its protection from . any species of properly or s ction of the con federacy ; and that any attempt to do so will as clearly evince the hostility of the Govern ment to that property or section as would any act of legislative hostility. 7. Resolved, That the principles of consti tutional equality enunciated in the two im mediately foregoing resolutions were violated in the several acta of the last session of Con gress for the admission of California into the Union as a State, for the formation of territo rial Governments for New Mexico and Utah, and in the bill abolishing the slave trade in the Dialricl of Columbia. 8. Resolved, That as some redress for past wrongs, and in pursuance of the spirit of the Missouri Compromise, Congress should ob tain the consent of California to the extension of the line of 36 30 to the Pacific Ocean, and that the right ot the people of the South to carry their slaves to ail the territory South of it, should be explicitly acknowledged and se- ' cured. curec. 9. Resolved, That the obstruction by the people ofthe North to the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Law so as to destroy its value to the South, and make it a loss instead of a benefit is equally a defeat of our Constitutional rights as would be its repeal or essential .no dification. 10. Resolved, That the harmony and safe ty of this Union depend upon a strict cons truct on of the Constitution and the salvation ofthe south now hangs upon it. And be cause we are for the constitution as it is, we oppose a United Slates Bank—ail protec tive tariffs for pampering one section at the expense of another, all internal improvements by the General Government, and all legists ron by’ Congress not strictly and clearly al lowed by the Constitution as the Union. 11. Resolved, That we yield to none in our attachment to the Union formed to “establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for tha common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the bles-ings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity;” that we venerate such a Union and the Constitution established by our Fathers to insure those blessings to themselves and those to come after them,— that iur object is to preserve such a Union if we can, but at ail hazards to maintain the li berties and rights of the people of Georgia. I feettolved, That this Convention com -0 , * S ’ ~" , he” ‘ ,n Democrats and Whigs and mealing on me foregoing Platform ol common principles, neces. ary as we believe to the protection of the rights and liberties of the South, do nominate and recommend Charles J.

I lie Convention after considerable dis* cuesion agreed to reconsider, and the question ot stri king out, being again submitted it was decided in the affirmative. The question then recurred upon the mo tion of Mr. Wiggins to adopt tiie report ot the committee, and the Report as amended was adopted with but one dissenting voice. Mr. Wiggins moved that a committee of . five be appointed by the Chair, to notify the 1 Hon. Charles J. McDonald of his nomination, I and to request his acceptance of the same. 1 Whereupon the President appointed the fol*. I lowing gentlemen that committee: Messrs.
