OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD IS OURS. “ Fish or Fowl.” The Southern Ritrins party, at the Nashtillt Convention, adopted the In I lowing resolution : Resolved, That we earne. lly reeom tned to all parties in the slaveiioWir.fj Stntes, to refuse to go into or counten ance any National Convention, whose object may be to nominate candidates lor the Presidency and Vice Presidency of the United States, under any party denomination whatever, until our con* siituiional rights are secured. At a preliminary meeting of this same Southern Rights party, at Milledgevilh , a few days ago, the subjoined resolution was adopted : Retolved, That a meeting of the friends of Democratic ( Southern Rights) principles he held in the Representative Hall, on Tuesday evening, the 2511 t November instant, for the call of a con* vention to appoint Delegates to meet the National Democratic Party in Con. vention to nominate candidates for Presi dent and Vice President of the United States. Can any one tell ns whether this “ Southern Rights” party is “ fish or low I Last year it was the “ Southern Rights” party simply—the past summer it wns known as the “ Democratic tint) Southern Right*” parly —and now it “ swears like our army in Flanders,” that it is the “ Democratic” party, ami never was “nothing else” It changes with the sensnns. Twelve months ago it “ earnestly recommended to all parties ill the slaveholding Slates, to refuse to go into or countenance any National Convention, whose object may be to no minate for the Presidency and Vice Presidency ol the United States.” Now, having been wltipl and scourged from Ihe field, it eats this earnest recommend ation, and resolves to hold a Convention “to appoint delegates” to one of these repudiated “ National Conventions.’ Again we enquire—can any body tell us—will any body tell n* —whether this “Southern Rights” party is “ fish or fowl?” Is It a “ black spirit or white,” a “ red spirit or grey ?’ It seems t° he: “ —every thing by starts and nolltlng long, But in the cournt* ofane revolving moon, In elit’inist, fiddler, statesman and buffoon.” But through all its lunar changes, its ‘ ground and lofty tumblings,’ one tiling remains evident ; it is that *ame old Southern—rights—- N ash vdlle- secession Coon, it carries the mark about it through all its metempsychosis. It may call itself • Southern Rights,* ‘ Demo, cralie and Southern Rights,’ * Repuhli* t an,’ or * Democratic ;’ but its call, like Glehdowet’s, will go unheeded. The ss was no le-s n ass because lie put on the lion’s skin—his ears would stick out, in spite of all he could do. The wisdom and goodness of Diety are manifest no less in the moral than in the physical world. The murderer, who take* the I tie of his fellow nil if, is the firs l” discover the crime ill his anx iety to conceal it. The very means to which he resorts to ‘ wash the filihy witnes* from his hand,’ are *ore to point him out as the author of the bloody deed. So with the Southern Rights party.— Having sought the life of the Govern* ment and clone all they could to destroy it, they now endeavor, impertinently, to throw themselves at the head of those very men who thwarted their blootly purpose. They are now the best Union men in the country. But they over-act their part. Their anxiety to conceal their murderous designs against the Re* public, only establishes their guilt.— Two verdicts have already been return ed against them, and the third will he rendered whenever they pot them*elves n{ion the country again. They may change the issue as often as they please, hut so long as the cause remains the same, the finding will be tlre same. — 1\ is • Store the Joiner ’ all the time. The Cotton Planters Con vention, Assembled la*l week at M icon, Ga., adjourned on F itlay. We are pleased to observe that the C"itvention unanim ously passed resolutions approving ot the project of Mr. Bay lor, our Consul at Amsterdam, and strongly recommend ing -lie shipment as early as practicable, of at least a portion of by di rect transportation. The main business of the convention was to devise means *or providing against I the depression and fluctuations of (lie prices of cotton. There was consider able conflict of opinion concerning the practicability of accomplishing this re suit, and various plans lor providing a remedy “were presented. The subject was finally referred to a committee of tweny-one, who could not agree upon anything definite. A resolution providing that a central committee should he established, to which all planters should make returns ol the cotton housed by the middle ol January ; and further, that before the first of May not more than two thirds of the crop should be sold, and that at not less than eight cents per pound, and that the third remaining thereafter should be sold at such time as might he recommended by the committee, was after a protracted debate, rejected ; forty-three voting in the affirmative, to forty-eight in the ne gative. A minority report was presented by the committee favoring the noted Florida scheme lor a Cotton Planter’s Association, to be organised with a capital 000, io erect a warehouse, store the cot ton and control the prices. This was vio lently opposed in the convention. Resolutions were finally adopted, re commending the establishment ol central, State, and county associations, for the purpose of collecting statistical and gen eral information of cotton. A committee was also appointed to procure the passage ol such acts of in. corporation as may be deemed necss.iry to promote the interest of the planters; but with the understanding that the ac tion of this convention, in reference to the procurement of charters, he not in tended to commit any cotton planter to a particular mode of operation. Other resolutions were adopted declar ing the expediency of using the utmost exertions to encourage southern manu factures lo employ slave labor in their factories. Also, urging the holding of another Cotton Planters’ Convention hereafter, pledging the delegates to endeavor to arouse public attention to the importance of the subject, ami enforcing the neces sity of appointing lecturers to canvass the cotton-growing country. The conven tion, without doing any thing else of im portance, adjourned si m dir. — Charles ton Courier. Plank Bonds. In and about Montgomery. (Ala.,) ihe people are beginning to hate a practical illustration of the hen -fit of Plank Roads and their incomparable advantages over the roads in common use. There has bet n a vast deal ol talk and noise in Georgia, within a year or two, about these improvements and one would sup pose we were going ahead, here in this State, in these matters, at a wonderful pare, hut we believe there is at this time not the first Plank Road in operation in Georgia. Our neighbors across the Chattahoochee, however, while we are talking, are going quietly to woik and building their roads. Tue Road from Montgomery to Wetumpka is fulfilling the most ardent exceptatious of its friends, and the farmers especially along the line, cart now see plainly enough, what good there is in a Plank Ro.nl. A gentle man in Montg- niery, w riting lo Mobile, takes occasion to speak of this Road, and gays: “ four small mules drew easily in, the other day, sixteen bales of cotton, and the planter said he intended, in his next load, to haul in twenty —8 to 10,* 000 pounds.” Gov. Foote of Mississippi. Hon.. Henry S. FootK, Governor of Missis-ippi, arrived at Montgomery, Alabama, la-t week, on his way North. Ii obedience to an invitation from the Union men of the Legislature and ol the city, he delivered a public address to an immense concourse ol citizens, in the Representative chamber. He discussed ut lengtlt all the issues that were helbre the people, in the late contests in the Southern States. Tit e Alabama Journal says : Gov. Foote declared that “ The Compromise, ns a whole, was a gain and advantage to the S'Milh, au<| the object of the leaders of those who opposed it, was deliberate treason. They were hostile to Republicanism, and de* sired a revolution, which would biing about new forms, und places themselves in power at the dearest interests of the ’ people. Jn this connection, his invec tive was terrible.” 1 Looking to (lie future, Senator Foote | TEBMS: $2 in Advance. 4 warned the Union pfirty not to have any connection or politicial association wills these men—dim they had as many forms as Proteus— Amt their object was revo lution, and sm it they would now be good professed dcmixrals, and would acqui esce in the Compwtmise to gnin strength and power to accomplish their object.” He further slated, of all parlies in Missisippi and Georgia had abandoned old par v affinities, and had united in the patriot* object of com mon defence against the C mmon enemy. The distiiiiouisis,” lie said, tad not aban doned their designs, but were seeking to make the Democratic party t* e ir cat’a paw and w ith much force and evquence, “ warned the Democratic Unio men against their wiles, and their attem 1 t ) to gain influence tinder the name of Demo cracy.” Railroad Intelligence. The Vermont Central Railroad Com pany has executed a mortgage of $2,000, 000, to secure bonds certified by the Trustees, and which are to be issued forthwith to the amount required to dis charge ihe’indcbtedm ss of the company and pay for the completion of the road and its equipment. Cul. Tarpley is on the stump in Mis sissippi, urging the people to aid in the construction of the proposed railroad from Jackson to the city, ylt Gallatin, Copiah county, we learn from the Argus, he aildre-sed the people, and after he closed, obtained subscriptions lo the a* mount of $30,000. The Nashville True Whig says: We learn that Messrs. Hazelhurst and Gieene, two able and energetic en gineers, arcompuied by an efficient corps of assistants, set out yesterday for the purpose of making an instrumental survey of the contemplated railroad to connect Nashvi'le with the Mississippi river at, or not far distant from, Madrid Bend ; at least we understand tle bate line first to be surveyed will extend to that point on the Mis*issippi. This line of road is intended as a con tinuation of the East Tennessee and Vir ginia road, through the East Tennessee and Geargia Raiboad from Knoxville lo Cleavelaml, or some oilier point, where a short line of road (also in contempla tion) will connect it with the Nashville and Chattanooga road at Chattanooga, thus forming a continuous and direct line through the valley of Viriginia, East, Middle and West Tennessee, lo the great Mississippi.;_ai the same time giving us access to tho Southern portion of Ken tucky ; and if we cast our eyes westward still further, we find it hut a step, as it were, to unite us with the great Pacifiic Railroad now in course of construction from St. Li'iiii to the western limits of the State of Missouri. Col. Childe, the engineer of the Mo bile and Ohio Railroad, writing to the Mobile Advertiser, from Chickasaw ronn ty, Miss., speaks favorably of the pros pects of the work in Eastern Mississippi. A convention is to be held at Columbus, to devise incans for the completion of the impiovf merit. He concludes bis letter: I beg leave, through your press, to in tortne tin* citizens of Mobile and vicinity, that thirteen mile of the railroad wilt be ready for pjblic use, with engines and cars, on or about Christmas* ; and the remainder of the line to Citronelle, as fast as the track can be laid. All persons, therefore, who desire to get wood, brick, limber, lumber or stone, in that direction, ure hereby assured that the rates of transportation will be so fixed as to encourage trade in these and all oilier articles over the railway. Visit oj Ihe Alabama Legislature to Georgia• —We see it suggested in an Al ahatna paper that the members of the leg islature of dial State, now should pay a vi*it to our legislature at Milledgpville, for tlie purpose of examining the Rail- Roads ofGeargin. There are but lew miles of Railroad in Alabama, and it is thought that the members might acquire much valuable information by a personal examination of those tn this State. We need not say, our people wold be glad of an opportunity to welcome the legisla ture of Alabama to this Stat 6. Should they determine to make the visit, we can assure them, in advance, of a real “Geor gia welcome.” ?• Anew banking house it about to be commenced at Washington city by Robert H.
