UNION CONVENTION.
The committee of ten appointed to draft a
Preamble and Resolutions expressive of the view s
and principles of the Union Party, made the fol
lowing Report, which was unanimously adopt
ed, to wit;
TO THE UNION PARTY OF GEORGIA.
Your Delegates assembled in Convention at I
Milledgeville, on the 7th May, have taken into j
consideration, the subject confided to their deiih- j
erations, and now recommend the |
tleiuen, as possessing suitable qualifications to
represent Georgia in the next Congress of the.-
United States:
D. C. CAMPBELL, Esq., of P.ibb,
Gen. B. GRAVES, of New ton,
JUNIUS HILLYER, Esq., of Clark,
lion. ALFRED IVERSON, of Muscogee,
Dr- J. G. McVVHORTER, of Richmond,
Gen. CHARLES 11. NEIJ3ON, of Cherokee,
ROBERT W. POOLER, of Chatham,
Col. J. S. PATTERSON, of Early,
Hon. HIRAM WARNER, of Meriwether.
We hope our deliberations have been guided
by wisdom, as we know they have been influ
enced by a patriotic regard for the best interests
of our Stale and Country. That the result will i
be perfectly satisfactory to all, wc cannot expect; I
but we hope and believe, sufficient, public spirit !
and self-devotion exists in the party, to silence I
the voice of discontent, and induce all its mem
bers to waive minor considerations, as a step
necessary to secure the ascendancy of those
principles and measures, which they solemnly
believe arc essential to the present and future
prosperity, peace, and greatness of our beloved
country. Those claims to the honors of the
party, which have not been thus publicly ac
knowledged, have not been overlooked—only
postponed. Disinterestedticss is the badge of
honesty. Our leading men have rather required
persuasionsjo serve us, than rebuke for forward
pretensions. Let us continue to be so distin
guished. It is the surest evidence that “all the
ends we aim at are our country’s.”
But the Convention, having thus discharged
the duty more immediately assigned it, consid
ered that it bad not done all that it was its duty
to perform—all that the party bad a right to ex
pect at its hands. Important changes having
taken place in the situation of the country, and
new topics of public concern been agitated, it
became a matter of some importance, in the
judgment of the Convention, to state distinctly
tlie leading principles of the parly, as authorized
landmarks lor its guidance in maintaining the
ascendancy of the constitution and laws. This
they have endeavored to do with a charitable re
gard to the peculiar views of any dissenting
members of the party, and with all the kindness
of interpretation as to the motives of our politi
cal opponents which their conduct has allowed
us to feel.
The following was the result of our delibera
tions :
Whereas important changes have taken place
in the situation of the country, and new topics
of public concern been agitated, since any au
thorized organ of the Union Party of Georgia
has asserted its principles, or sketched its views
in relation thereto, it becomes a matter of im
portance to state the leading principles of its be
lief, to silence the mouth of slander, and, if pos-
Therefore,
Resolved, T lat wc cordially approve the re
commendation of the President of the United
Slates, in regard to the propriety and necessity
of separating the Government from the Banks,
in keeping and disbursing the public treasure,
and of maintaining in the reception of the public
dues, consistently with the public convenience,
the only constitutional and national currency,
and legal tender.
Resolved, That we approve of the course of
the administration of the Genera! Government,
in regard to its Indian policy; and that Georgia
in particular, who has been scourged by the con
tinuation, so long, of this species of poplation
within her territory, will sustain this policy, as
alike essential to her own prosperity and honor,
and necessary to the future existence of a race,
that has dwindled from millions to hundreds, and
once possessed our country, in the pride of pow
erful and independent nations.
Resolved, That the Democratic Party of the
South, can hold no friendly communication on
any subject, with those who are making a sys
tematic assault upon rights guaranteed by the
Constitution to the South, and who, if not ar
rested in their career, will demolish the fair fab
ric of our liberties, and entitle themselves to the
infamous distinction of the wretch who fired the
Ephesian Temple: That the Republican Party
of the North, uncorrupted, disinterested, and
patriotic, have ever proved themselves to be wiiat
Mr. Jefferson declared them, “the natural allies
of the South;” and that now, more than ever,
from their resolute opposition to the abolition
fanatics, and to all unconstitutional interference
with our domestic institutions, they merit and
shall receive onr warmest thanks.
Resolved, That taxes and duties ought not to
be laid and collected by the General Government j
to raise money to be lent out by the keepers |
thereof, whether public officers or banks, to spec. |
ulatorsorany other class of citizens whatsoever; \
and that the amount raised should be barely suf. |
ficient to defray the expenses of an economical !
administration of the Government, and should
be kept to be applied to that object, and no
other.
Resolved, That the General Govcrmcnt have
no right to use the money of the people for bank
ing purposes; and consequently, any attempt on
the part of Congress, by tiic means of a bank
charter, or any other legislative enactment, to
delegate such power to others, will, as hereto
forg, meet with the unceasing hostility and op
position of the Union Party of Georgia.
Resolved, That wc deprecate the evils result- j
ing from the suspension of specie payments, and i
recommend a speedy resumption by the banks,
both in justice to the community that granted |
them their chartered privileges, and have a right I
to their benefits, and from a prudent regard for
their own safely.
Resolved, That the present administration of
the General Government, as promoting the in
terests of the South, and guarding our institu
tions, has won our admiration and secured our
support; that we deeply deplore the coarse of
sueli Southern statesmen as, by acting in con
cert with its opponents, arc aiding to place those
in power who are adverse to the Democratic
party, as illustrated in tiic political life and wri
tings of Thomas Jefferson.
The principles of the present administration,
according with the spirit of compromise with
which the Federal Constitution was framed and
adopted, and being radically opposed to the fa
natical efforts now made to interfere with vital
ocal interests, we exhort the people to rally to
its support. Error of opinion in matters not con-
Tio 0 ° cm' th n 10 sa ;' et - v “ nl happiness of a por
■ 11 , 8 ?7 ub1,c “V l * tolerated, “while
reason is left free to combat it,” but every con.
stitutional effort should be made to resist and put
down any attempt of the people of one portion :
of the country to interfere with the domestic in- te
slitutions of another. The present administra- tt
lion planting itself upon the true principles of ir
our Union and Constitution, has boldly stepped
forward and identified itself with the mainte
nance of the domestic institutions of the South
—the people of Georgia arc, therefore, again in
voked to rally to its support.
Tlie Convention, inclosing its report and ad
address to its constituents, cannot conclude
without urging on the parly the necessity of re- f
newed vigilance and untiring exertion to main- {
tain the ascendancy of its views. To stimulate
to such exertion and fire the zeal of the faintest
heart in the cause, we beg to awaken its recol
lection of the glorious past. The position in* (
which Georgia stood during flic threatening dan- f
gers of Nullification, was one of the greatest re- t
sponsibiiity, and nobly did she respond to her ob- <
ligations. She was the keystone of the arch, |
which sustained tlie Union in the Southern t
Stales. If site had fault?red in the cause, all ;
would have been lost. This glorious Union [
would have lain in ruins. The whirlwind would i
have been irresistible, if it had been augmented (
.by her strength. But every engine was 1 rotight (
to play on her firmness in vain. Difficulties were (
multiplied andarifully managed to inflame her ;
passions, warp her judgment and tempt her, by <
suggestions of Stale pride, to swerve from the t
na hos duty, patriotism and honor. In vain the
tempest beat on her battlements. Her eye looked
with unquailing firmness on the dark cloud, i
whose thunder muttered its threatnings in her i
ear. She trembled not—hesitated not; but with
the Constitution of (be Confederacy in her band, ■
and its glorious banner over her bead, she defied i
its fury, and smiled in sco n its impotence. In
that dark hour, which was to test the capability
of our government, she rallied her strength, and
j took her station by the side of the Old Patriot,
! whose very name was a host against the ene_-
j miesofbis country. They triumph together,
j and with them triumphed the Constitution and
i the laws. As Georgians, we are proud that wc
have not been recreant—not failed in our desti
! ny. The recollection shall shed a bright radi
ance on our future career, and History, when she
enumerates tlie temptations and dangers which
tried our firmness, shall pour tlie glory of her
noblest eulogium on th.- record. Let, us not,
then, oy supiucncss, nor by passion, and forget
ful of the past, lose all for which wc have fought,
but rally on our principles, and like a band of
brothers, bind our fate, by a bond stronger than
links of steel, to the destiny of our gloyious
Union.
On motion of Col. Bailey, of Butts,
Resolved, That a committee ot five be appoin
ted by the President, to inform the persons cho
sen by ibis Convention as candidates at the en
suing Congressional election, of their noinina
tion; and that, said Committee communicate to
them the resolutions passed by this Convention
expressive of the principles and views of the
Union parly of Georgia, and ask of them the
expression of their approbation of said principles
ami views.
The Committee appointed were Messrs. J.W.

cy that may occur in the nominations made by
this Convention.
On motion of J. G.- McWhorter,
Resolved, unanimously, Thai wc regret that
' private considerations have been so imperative
’ in their nature as to deprive us of the continued
t services of our present Democratic Delegates in
Congress, who, by zealously and ably advoca

LATE FROM FLORIDA.
By tiic Revenue Cutler Madison, Capt. How
ard, from Havana 24th, Key West 28th ult.,
and Key Biscaync 3J ins!., arrived at this port
on Sunday last, wc learn that Col. Harney, of
Fort King, having captured a squaw, from whom
he obtained the necessary intelligence, has gone
with a detachment of 160 dragoons and artillery,
to attack Sam Jones, who it will be remembered
was driven to tlie pass along the southern point
of Florida, about Key Largo. This expedition
| left Key Biseaync on Thursday the 3d inst.
I *ho latest intelligence at Key Bisca3 7 ne was
i that Aleck Hajo, the Seminole Chief, who nego.
I ciatcd with Gen. Jcsup, and surrendered to him,
j had been shot with all his immediate followers,
| by order of Sam Jones, the Chief of the Nicka-
I sukies. This assassination is said very much to
have exasperated the Scmiiioles, and we are told
that many of them now beg oar troops to allow
them to remain and assist in exterminating their
late allies, Sain Jones and tiic Niekasukies.
The naval detachment, lately engaged inLt.
I Powell’s expedition, have gone’to Pensacola to
join our squadron for Vera Cruz. This squad
ton is detached to protect our commerce from
, the consequences of the French Blockade.
Lt. Magurdcr and his company came on in the
Madison Irom Key W est to Key Biseayne and
i thence shipped in the Campbell for St. Au<ms-
I tine. - te
On Sunday 22.1 ult. Governor Tacon left Ha
! van a, being recalled by bis government. He
| left amid every demonstration of regret of tlie
inhabitants of Havana. He appoints Espelata
bis successor, under whom, it is thought the ad.
mirahle and efficient system of police introduced
by Tacon will be continued, and an orderly and
quiet government maintained.
SPECIE—MEXICO
The I nited Stales ship Concord, which arrived
here yesterday from Tampico, brings 871,000 con
signed to Messrs. J. Crosby, J W. Zaeliarie <fe Co.
J. Prats A Son, R. & J. Currell, J. A .Merle & Co.,
Schmidt & Warner, and to order. The schooners
Dolphin and Byron, w hich left this port for Mata
moras with a heavy cargo could notenter the har
bor on account of the blockade by the French ships
of w ar.
A passenger who came by the Concord reports,
that having remained three days at Vera Cruiz, he
felt convinced from the rumors in circulation, that
the Mexican government was in no wise disposed
to pay the indemnity claimed by France.
We also learn from the same passenger that the
American schooner Eliza Ann was at Matarnoras
previous to this blockade. She has been stopped 1
from coming out of this port —she made three at- 1
empts but foiled. However, they have come Vo tl
he conclusion to let her pas?. She will be here n
n a few days.— N. O. Bee, Ithinst. c

[FROM OUK CORRESPONDENTS.} *
[From the Baltimore American of May 81 0
FROM WASHINGTON. i
Our special correspondent transmits to us the •
following notice of yesterday’s proceedings in 1
Congress: r
WASHINGTON. Mav 7. '
UNITED STATES SENATE. i
During the morning, Mr. WEBSTER intro- f
duced an interesting memorial from several Os- 1
fleers ofthe United Stales Army, who represent,
that instead of whiskey rations, coffee and su- (
gar would be a more desirable substitute. The s
petitioners say it would preserve the health, es- 1
fioicney and happiness, and frequently the mor- 1
a 1 reformation ofthe soldiers of the Army. Thev 1
believe that the gill of whiskey still allowed to
men on fatigue duty, under the act of Congress 1
of 1819, unnecessary, and fails to answer the t
end for which it was granted. They believe it -
contributes in a great degree to form and keep
alive habits of intemperance, the legitimate re- >
suit of which are insubordination, disease and
crime.
In presenting this mcmoriol, Mr. Webster !
made some brief and happy remarks. He thought j
that if ardent spirits could be beneficially and
usefully dispensed with hy soldiers on fatigue
duly, it would he difficult to maintain the neces- *
sily of their use by persons in any occupation or
employment.
The petition was read, ordered to be printed,
and referred to the committee on Military Af
fairs.
The VICE PRESIDENT, during the morn
ing, laid upon the table a report from the Trea
sury Department, giving the condition of the
Slate Banks and Public Depositories from the
latest returns. Laid upon the table and ordered
to be printed.
A great number of petitions in reference to the
Cherokee Treaty, Slavery, &c. were received
and laid upon the table.
Mr. WRIGHT then moved to lake up the bill
proposing the sale of certain bonds belonging to
the United States. Mr. W. remarked that the
condition ofthe Treasury was such as to require
means. The Committee of Finance ofthe Sen
ate have had some action upon this subject. —
They had reviewed various plans and various
propositions, and studied the means of the Go
vornment, and could think of nothing but the sale
of the United Stales Bonds for the relief of the
Treasury.
If this bill is passed, said Mr. Wright, it will
not give the proposed relief, but it may do some
thing. In view of the condition of the Treasu
ry, said Mr. Wright, I have asked the Secretary
of the Treasury what were the current means at
command in the Treasury,—everywhere. They
were not more than $700,000. including the en
tire available deposites of the General Govern
ment, and such being the condition of the Trea
sury, and the Senate having power to originate
no other measure, Mr. Wright thought it best
that the bill should now pass.
Mr. WEBSTER said ho did not think the bill
a wise or a salutary measure. In the state of
the credit of the Government the present was
not a good time to sell bonds belonging 16 the U.
States, There was no surety that such stocks
would bring their par cash value, because there
was no surety that the buyer would receive his
cost for the stock bought when the payment was
due.
Mr. WEBSTER continued his remarks, and
said that the chairman ofthe Committee of Fi
nance makes an acknowledgment of a fact which
is certainly without a parallel in the his'ory of
the Government, cither in war or in peace. We
have never had such a condition of things before,
ami ,1 ha comb I inn nf jhc Treasury Is such as cer
tainly to demand the action or the Congress, it
tile Senate could not originate any other mea
sure than this fur the relief of the Treasury, it
still would he requisite for the House to act upon
this measure. The House had power to origi
nate all measures of revenue, and we gain no
thing bv early action upon such a measure as
this. The House would not probably act upon
this measure before acting upon others. Wo
gained nothing hy the bill, and probably might
lose. If Treasury notes were to be re-issued, or
new issues were to be made, it, would not be ne
cessary to make the proposed sale.
Mr. WRIGHT briefly pressed the necessity
of action up n this subject, and the bill was or.
acre 1 to bo engrossed.
The bill to continue the corporate existence of
Banks in the District of Columbia is now (at 4
o’clock, p. in.) under consideration.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
On leave, several memorials were presented
and referred to their appropriate committees.—
Several Resolut ions were adopted, and one of an
important nature, proposing to inquire into the
expediency of having the mails and the trans
portation of public stores carried through the
country on the Rail Roads built and building.
The Committee are to inquire into the expense,
dice, and to report to the House as soon as may
be.
! The orders of the day were called, —being the
still further consideration of the Reports of the
Duelling Committee.
Mr. SAWYER, of N. C., after some remarks
in reference to the disgraceful position of the
present action of Congress in tiie ei'es of the
people, moved to lay the whole matter on the
table, with a view, as he said, of bringing mem
bers to a lest of their sincerity to act upon the
public business. The yeas and nays were or
dered on the motion to suspend the rules, and
the vote stood yeas 48, nays 131.
A motion was made to postpone the subject
until the first Monday in June next, and lost,
yeas 56, nays 103.
The subject is still before the House, and the
debate as uninteresting as it can be.
Mr. BYNUM has had the floor during the day.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
The Liverpool packet ship United Stales,
Cant. Holdridge, arrived yesterday, and brings
us papers from London to the 7th ult., and Liv
erpool to the 9th. Tiie dates from the British
Metropolis are one day later than those brought
by the steamer Great Western. Tbe Havre
packet ship Francois I, Capt. Pell, arrived yes
teiday with Paris and Havre papers to the 31st
March. The intelligence they oon ain is not
later than that received from France by the
steam ship, but having now a regular series of
papers published in that country, our informa
tion as to events passing there, is more com
plete.
The proceedings in Parliament on the 6lh
ult. are not of interest here. An ejected mem
ber, Mr. Poulter, was to be called to the bar of
the House, and the printer of the Morning
Cnronicle, for an alleged breach of privilege
committed by the publication of a letter in
which the decision of the Committee on his
election was impugned.
M c annex extracts on the state of the money
market and on commercial matters.
Much alarm continues to prevail in Paris al
the extent to which Slock Jobbing is carried on
in shares of joint stock companies. We have
translated part of a debate on that subject,
which has taken place in the ChJinbers of Dep
uties. On the extraordinary circular letter ot
M. Martin, (du Xord) on the state of our Banks,
we find the following. “It appears that this
alarming communication was duly appreciated
at Havre, and those other ports in France where
he merchants being in direct and daily com- i
nunicatlon with their United States’ agents and
correspondents, were able to correct the stale- J
ments and impressions contained in theminisle-
rial circular. According to some information j
which we find in the Commerce on this head, [
Lyons does not appear to have been so fortunate
owing to her communications with America be
ing less direct than the sea port towns, and be
ing already creditors to a very large amount,
the manufactures of that city, alarmed by the
representations of the French minister of com
merce, refused to execute some very large orders
for silks which had arrived, and which conse
quently have been undertaken in another coun
try, where the Americans enjoy better credit.
That paper concludes by asking what is the use
of a minister of commerce whose acts are
shown hy the above facts to be so far Irom afford
ing protection to manufactures and commerce,
that they have only tended to mislead and de
press the staples of the kingdom.
The Stale General of Holland having closed
their Session, a speech was delivered to them in
the name of the King. It contains no direct
allusion to the subject of the differences with
Belgium. All that may be considered as having
any allusion to them is the following:
“Theadoption of the extraordinary expenses for
the army and navy, and the unanimity of the se
cond chamber on that occasion enables the govern
ment to exert itself without relaxation to obtain a
final settlement of our affairs.”
London, April 7.
There is no alteration in the character of the
commercial money market, and, though money is
to be well employed—bills with good names may
be done al 3 per cent. In the foreign exchanges
we have had but very little business, and the rates
continue rather against the country; although the
shipments of manufactured goods have rather in
creased. This anomaly can only be accounted for
by the fact, that lately there have been more deal
ings in foreign securities and shares. On Bans the
rates rule at 25f. 771 c. to 25f. 821 c; on Amsterdam,
at 12-41 a 12-5; on Rotterdam, at 12-41 a 12-51;
and on Hamburg, at 13 13.
The increasing disposition to invest in the British
securities, to which we referred last evening, has
been more strongly manifested this day on the En
glish Stock Exchange, and, in consequence, Con
sols have advanced in value, although the public
revenue has shown strong symptoms of being on
the wane. Consols left off this evening al 93s a 1
money and account. There has also been more
dealing in Money Stock, the Three-and-a-llalf-per
Cent. Reduced Annuities left off at 1001 and the
New Three per Cent, at 1011 a#. Bank Stock has
receded to 2051 money ex. div., and India Stock,
2861 a 267. The premium upon Exchequer Bills has
ruled at 64 a 66, and on India Bonds marked at 70.
The Orpheus, the New York packet of the 16th
ult. was telegraphed off Holyhead, at 1 o’clock
yesterday, but she had not reached Liverpool up
to midnight.
MISSISSIPPI ELECTION.
By the arrival yesterday of the steam boat Clyde,
we have been favored with Vicksburg papers of
the 24th ult., one of which contains the election
returns of forty-four counties, which give Prentiss
(Whig! 10,992, and Ward Whig) 10,473 votes;
Claiborne (Loco Foco) 9,557, and Davis (Loco
Foco) 9,107 votes —leaving Prentiss a majority of
1435, and Ward 1366 voles over their loco foco
competitors. Little doubt now remains of the
entire success of the whig ticket. — N. O. Bulletin
