SOUTHERN CONVENTION.

A meeting held at Crawford Court House,
Russell county, Alabama, on the Sh ult,
adopted series of resolutions moved by Gem
eral James Hamilton, one of which proposes
a convention Of the people OF the Southern
States, on the subject of slavery, and requests
suitable arrangements TO be made forthwith
for an election, by Congressional Districts in
each State, on the first Monday in September
next, of delegates to Convention of South
ern States, 10 be held in this city.
Am address from the Committee of Publ
cation, of which General Hamilton was Chair
man, to the people of the slavehoIdng States,
l.. accompanies the resolutions. The purpose
OF The Convention, as declared in one of the
resolutions, is "to prevent the catastrophe OF
The Charleston Courier in some sort "a
yors the holding of this Convention. 1t
says: +" We are not aware that the Union is
in any very imminent danger at present, or
that any such extreme measure as that pro-
posed is necessary TO save it; but we are of
opinion that the state of opinion and feeling
III the slaveholGing States is now sufficiently
sound and patriotic 10 prevent the meeting of
Convention of those States from being pe-
rilous TO the Union; and that perhaps some
good might arise from temperate and digni-
he'd demand on the part of all the slay ehold-
ing Ota.eS- wv eStern as we'll as Southern, and
beyond as we'll as within the Potomac-of
new guarantees against interference with their
domestic institutions. The discussions on
this subject in Congress ought to cease; and
Convention, tempered as the one proposed
would be, might accomplish this object with
out the slightest jeopardy to our political
Union or national harmony'
Apart from the question of the expediency
OF this Convention, we protest against it be-
cause of the time of its meeting 1t is too
near the Presidential election for good to come
OF It'll II be competent TO do good at any
time 1t would degenerate into the merest
President-making conclave, and so far from
soothing The exasperated feelings between the
two great sections of the Union, would add
fresh fuel to the flame. We look upon srch
Convention at such time, instead of being
propitious, as iraught with danger to the u
nion.--Richnaond Compiier
