right of the "colored race" in our newly acqur cd terrltones, to prevent emigration t0 them bl shareholders from the South formed that 'polili cal necess iy'' laid down n the 18th resolution O our State Conv nlion and would indeed, saiC MT. Y. have deSerred the eptheIs of 'viper" and traitor" now so literally and falseiy heapad up- on me, if had compromised the proud position you had taken, by longer participating in the de- liberation of such body.
 You are now assembled to deliberate ] upon your own course. Mir. !. said he feared it was fixed; but of one thing they might he assured, they might prostitute themselves, and aid in prostituting the State but they could not prostitute him. He should not prostitute himself His course was clear. Still standing upon the stable platform of constitutional truth, erected by the united efforts of the Dem ocracy of the whole State, he shonld dare to do no wrong" He should not give his support, or his vote, to Gen. Cass.
 Under the present aspect of things he feared he should have 10 remain passive spectator of events; the inevitable ten dency of which would be to degrade the South in the estimation of others-and toi corrupt public opinion here upon so all important question.
 If the South would remain frm-be true 10 the elevated stand she had taken, before the meeting of the Baltimore Con venton, such course would be of iniin- ite more importance 10 our future destiny, than the preservation of mere party orga- uization. If in doing this, the democra- cy should hc defeated, and Whig elect ed, we shall have done our country far better service. than WIG should by adher- ing to this nomination, and thus succumb- ing to the North, and teaching our peo- pie that Gen. Cass' views arc sound. Once corrupt public opinion, and it will be difficult, perhaps, impossible to right ii again. Preserve it pure, upon this vital paramount issue, and it will always be an easy matter to rally our forces upon correct principles. If we so act, we teach the North, that when we speak brave words, we will follow them, if needs be, by brave actions-ihat if they do not re- spect our rights, we will promptly dissolve all political conncxion wi.h them. Teach them this, and we can always force them to respect our rights. But if we now sneak cowardly from inc bold stand we have taken, merely to elect their nominee, we shall become their stris-sneered at and despisadeven by our masters! II

RATHER BEFORE THE MUsIc.-Some
 of the boys of Wotimpka were some- what delighted at the reception of the news of the nomination of Gen. Taylor and Fillmore, (Good LordfD on last Tuesday. They procured powder and run the ssold Thuuderer" out and charged her, with the understanding that they were to fire one time for each State for Taylor and Fillmore but unfortunately they on- ly sslet her loose" but some five or six times, just about as many States as Fay Tor and Fillmore will get). We readily came to the conclusion that it was right to go it while they were young, for after the 7th of November next they couldn't.

Enfal Accident.

The dwelling house of Mir. Wilkinson, situated some 13 miles from Wetumpka, on the old Bozeman Ferry road, in Coosa county, took fire on Wednesday night, the 3lst ult., and was completely destroyed with all the household effects, together with his daughter, little girl about 6 years of age, and a negro girl.

We refer the attention of mon of all parties, and particularly those who are so free and profise in charging this old vete- ran with advocating abolit;onism, to the letter of Gen. Cass, addressed to Mir. Nicholson of Tennesse. This old soldier come out as one should, when placed in a position asking for the votes of an intelli- gent people. On the Wilmot Proviso he is with the South, and occupies tho ground which can only be conceded to by the South for the safety of her ''peculiar insti- tutions." He occupied the ground that Congress has no power whatever, to act upon the question of slavery in any shape whatever. This is the only strong posi- ton the South has in the matter, for as soon as the South consents for Congress to interfere in the question, either in the States or Territories, the South is gone, and the Slave States become prescribed section of this great confederacy. Let this vexed question of slavery, which has been kept alive by demagogues both oi the North and South, be left to the people of such territories as may belong to the public domain of the United States, and in ten years we would witness a perfect calm upon that subject. But as long as it is kept alive by the ultra Barnburners of New York, and the ultra Calhounites in South Carolina Alabama and Florida The flame grows larger and larger, and the inevitable consequence will be the severation of this great arch of Republi- canism. Let the North and the South mutually take Gen. Cass' position upon that question, and we would venture a prediction that all will become reconciled. Negroes will never be carried to a section of country that their labor would not pay an interest upon the capital invested, nor neither would the whites of the Northern States overrun Southern Territory, run the risk of their lives and their health, merely for the purpose of preventing the establishment of slavery. li
 An Advise Being has so diversified our country that they are sections calculated peculiarly for peculiar institutions. The Northern people care but little to settle in a Southern Territory, only temporarily for gain, nor do shareholders care to live North, where the climate is not compati- ble with the health of the negro race For the perpetual safety of the slave inte- rest it is necessary for the Southern peo- pie to coincide with Gen. Cass upon this particular question We advise every impartial man to read the letter, charac- tcrized as it is, so differently from that of Gen. Tayior's position, who says he knows nothing and don't intend telling anything.
