ROCHESTER, CONVENTION.

Having attended the Convention of the

New VoLcANo.--There is mount
ain in Rabun county, near the North Car
DINA line, that is now throwing out large
quantities of very black, dense smoke, and
manfests the appearance of being voIcan-
ic. Those who have visited this mount
ain, say that the smoke issues through
fssures in the rocks, and that there is a
continued rumbling sound like low, distant
thunder, constantly heard in the bowels
OF the mountain. The mountain itself is
very difficult to ascend, and is the high.

THE INNOCENT AND THE GUILTY.

The day after the Treaty of Annexation was sent
by the President to the Senate readers will re-
member (for we noticed the fact at the tme) that
the Globe promulgated the invented rumor that the
Treaty and accompanying documents had been
ssprinted al the Madsonian Office before they were
transmitted by the Executive 10 the Senate, and pre-
dcted that If such was the case, the public might
soon expect to see them Gin the New York papers"
Not being printer to the Senate, and knowing that
the Treaty had been sealed and transmitted, as all
messages, &C., are done by the President, in manu-
script, we did nothing more than make an emphatic
denial of the nsnuated charge, being sat SIZED that
there was foundation for the supposion that the
documents intended for the secret and confidential
deliberations Of the Senate, would, had been nt-
mated, make their appearance Gin the New York
papers,
Three days, however, had not elapsed before the
editor of the New York Evening Post announced that
the Treaty and documents in his possession =,
This seemed to be iulflment of the Globes predic
ton. Men looked upon as the equity" offender
nay, as detected and convicted. The Globes con-
demnation Of our conduct copied even by the
Richmond Enquirer; and at this time, every mail
brings Us papers from distance denouncing the Pre-
sdent in the harshest terms that can be employed for
offering Senators such an ndignty as to affect 10
send them the Treaty to be discussed in secret
sion, while, at the same time he had actually sent
copy to the Madsonian Office for publication And
this The kind Of injustice perpetrnied by the Globe
every day. Thus has Mr.. Tyler BEN denounced ever
since he has been President; and hu. has the Mad
isonian been condemned for acts hver thought Of by
the editor.
But who was guilty The Giossthe Globe and
Senator Tappan The Globe must have instigated
the act have been prvy to it, for il exactly fore
told its fal6lment Senator Tappan has confessed
the deed and has been, as We learn severely pun.
ished for it by the Senate in secret session.
II is hard thing for the innocent TO be accused
II is harder when the knows the innocence
of the accused but undoubtedly the hardest OF
all is when the dccuser is himself gully
What may have been the motives Of the Globe, it
may not become US to say. We care not to pursue
MIR. Blair through his labyrintbs of inquites. He
will soon, il he is not already be powerless for good
or evil His design to destroy the party which
has so long fostered him, and which has so often
been sung by him. has been rendered apparen, to
ry honest Republican and being forewarned all
will be forearmed. His wanton attacks on Mr. Cal
houn have opened the eyes Of the South and his I'M
principed crusades against the President who vetoed
Mr. Clay's Bank, has reused the ind gnation of the
whole party.

ANOTHER GREAT TEXAS MEETING IN
NEW ORLEANS.

On the 81 instant, another great Texas meeting,
without respect TO partcs, held at New Orleans
al the ST. Louis Exchange. J. b. PL,UcHr, vele-
ran Of 1875 presided. He addressed The meeting
with great feeling, and called on every citizen Of
Louisiana to un,e in demanding Of tie Senate to
ratiiy the Treaty OF Ann, ration, now before that
body Mr. MIRIcSI, senior, spoke the occasion
in the French language and maintained thot the Rio
Gnnde was The real boundary OF Louisiana. lie
warned the Senate against the r jec,on of the Tres
ty, and told Senators that il hey did reject it, they
would raise a tempest throughout the South that
would pio,trais every man who might be engaged in
the rejection. MIR. OGDfs followed and showed that
,nneI alton a national question: and that every
.fmeiean would be found in favor of the treaty.
We give extracts from the re,olulionsi
Resolved That the annexation Of Texas TO the con-
federated States Of the North American Union, J,
in deliberate opinion measure Of great political
wisdom and foresight, and that we heartily approve
OF the course Of the present administration IN having
taken the first step IN this important matter.
Resolved, That II the annexation Of Texas 10 the
United States was impolIiic and inexpedient seven
years ago, the people OF Texas having, since the
morable battle of San Jscinto, taken rank amongst
the free and independent nations Of the earth. That
government has now the indsputabie right TO un te
itself In indissoluble bonds with the American peo-
pie.
Resoiued, That Louisiana, more than any other
State In the Union, should feel interested in the an
ne 1ation Of Texas, for she must, und every view
Of the case, prefer that the American flag should
wave on the west bank OF the SABINE, ratter than
that England should establish a military colony be-
tween that river and the Mexican frontier.
Colonel Preston, the Attorney General Of the
State, closed the proceedings q the meeting by an
eloquent speech, going for the Treaty uncondtion-
ally.

"THE GLOBE Is A SNEAK ~

With great seriousness, we ask the Globe TO stand
sill at least long enough "to be counted" Its continual
Jumping about" may invoke the admiration Of all
the aess and abouonsts in the country, but may not
prove altogether acceptable to persons who have no
particular fondness for performances on the slack
rope" or any saatory eyolutons. What shall we
infer from the indications Of the oracle this morning
lie says, some friend has assured him, ION whose
veracity he rees,n that the armisce that he had
forgotten" and that Benton and Van Buren, found i,
armistee after ALL and that he is in favor Of his
original position for Annexation, and intends 10 main

After Benton has betrayed Van Buren, into the fol-

rely with renewed confidence on the ratification Of
the treaty. Men cannot well summon courage to
oppose the Annexation. The People are for IT, and
