when the turmoil ofthe pending election is over,
we may assemble together as brethren. TO con.

defence. We will not anticipate what such
assemblies may resolve upon, but hold ourselves
in readiness for CO operation in any measures
which shall then be deemed advisable. In the
mean time we content ourselves with recon-
mcndng that such assemblies be convened i'm
mediateIy after our elections are over, and be-
fore the meeting ofour Legislature, in every Dis

Reso1ued, That while an arrangement be.
tween the North and the South in relation to
the Territories Of California and New Mexico,
upon the basis Of the Missouri Compromise,
would meet our appreciation, yet as the only
nope OF such arrangement rests upon the private
understanding and Interpretation of public acts,
in themselves more threatning than encourag.
ing, it becomes us at once Ia realize that the
South is driven for protection 10 the last bul.
wark Of the Constitution, the Presidential veto.
Resolved That under these circumstances,
an | more especially when we have no positive
assurance that either oi The prominent candidates
for The Presidency will intcrpose this power to

Southern Interests. it is the part of prudence to
contemplate the passage Of an act by the next
Congress excluding the South from California
and New Mexico. as a political contingency
which must and should be provided for before it
comes upon us.
Resolred, That such provision and prerara.
tion be long to no party, but are the right and
duty ofthe whole people ofthc South, who ought
to meet in their primary assemblies to consider
and determine upon their course in such emer-
gency; and that we recommend such assemblies
10 be holden by our fellow.citizens, in every
District and Parish, as soon after our pending
elections as practicable.
Resolred, That we are ready, without antIcl.
pating what course Of action such assemblies
may counsel, to CO operate in any land every
measure which may be adjudged best by our
fellow citizens.

GEN. JAMES HAMILTON AND LEWIS
CASS

General HAMILTON. once Governor Of Sonth
Carolina, long time member of congress from
the Stale, distinguished for his talents and chIv-
alrous character in every station, and now a
planter of the Southern part of Georgia, retired
from public life, has addressed letter OF ihe
date Of Sept. %, to a friend in Charleston, IN
answer to one addressed to him on the fresden.
rial question. General HAMILTON says in the
letter, can intimate personal acquaintance with
General CAss enables me to speak of him
without any reference to the opinions of others, -
and he nllndes TO an acquaintance with Gener.
al CAss at Washington, as well as in the city
of Paris, when General HAMILTON was repres.
entne the Government Of Texas, as Foreign
Minister. 1t was General HAMILToN's talents
and address that procured the recognition OF the
Independcne Of Texas by the British Govern.
meni, and by the French, likewise, and also by
other European powers. This was the great
preliminary step in the Annexation OF Texas 10
our Union. The impartial opinion OF such n
man as General HAMILTON is surely worth
more than the petty ISLANDERS of such men as
"Oele" STEWART, of Pennsylvania, who has
had the hardihood to charge CAss with the
crime of pcculation whilst Governor OF the
Northwest Territory. and whose misrepresenta-
lions of truth and fact have been circulated by
few prcjudiced Wing Parlizans, who have
persuaded themselves, and endeavor to persuade
others, also. to believe every evil report of the
Democratic candidate for President. 1t is hon.
orable to most oflhe Wing papers and politicians
that ,hey have dsdained to circulate such charg
es against CAss.
We have only room for short extract from
the letter of General HAMILTON. He speaks
with the candor and fairness Of a high-minded
gentleman of both CAss and TAYLOR. His
objection to the latter is political, not personal.

SPEECH OF THE HON. FRANKLIN J.
MOSES

The following Report Of the speech Of the
speech Of the Hon. Mr.. Moses, Of Sumter Dis.
trict, at Democratic meeting at Tammany
Hall, N. Y, we extract from the N. 7. Herald
Of the 19,h ult.
Hon. Mr.. Moses, Of South Carolina, after
referring to the handsome reception he met
with, and The "reminiscences connected with
Tammany Hall, said what is the great cause in
which the democracy is engaged Is 1t con-
test tor the election of men, or is It one OF prn'
.cipIe, between the old republican party and this
new party, made up of the factions of all par.
ties, moved by the great leaven of federalism!
He confessed that when General Taylor's mama
was first proclaimed as an independent candi.
date, the people of South Carolina werc dispo.
sed to support him; but when they saw him re.
ceive the nomination Of the wings, and associate
his name with Millar5 Fillmore, they concluded
that whether they liked him or not, they liked
the cause Of their country better. (Cheers.)
When they gave up Cass, it reminded him OF The
story Of the two boys, who were about to divide
flock Of sheep, which was the only property
they inherited from their father. The older
brother was wiser and more cunning than the
other. Tho younger brother had a pet sheep,
named Sandy, which he had raised. which slept
in his room, which followed him everywhere,
and shich he thought a great deal Of The ol-
der brother, knowing this, divided the flock into
two equal parts, as regards numbers, but one
part contained all The poor and bad sheep, and
poor pet Sandy among them. and the other con-
tanned all the good ones. Now, said he, Bob,
the sheep are equally divided, which half will
you have1 Bob looked at them along time and
said, we'll, Sandy, we must part; liked you well
Sandy, while you were by YOURSELF but when
you get into such bad company, must give up.
(Laughter.) And so it was with General Tay.
lor. Mr.. Moses then alluded to the difference,
that exist between The whig and democratic par.
ties, and asked whether they wanted another
high tariff or another United States Bank
. Suppose, he said, Mr.. Fillmore had occupied
the place Of George NJ. Dallas, when the ques'
ton Of the last tariff was decided, whose cast
ing vote carried that measure. what would have
been the consequence! Himself the rer'esen'

American Stocks in London The New
York Journal Of fCommerr, of Saturday afternoon
says:
"Mr. Corcoran's arrangement for the sale Of
8 5000 900 ofthe new U. S. loan in London,
does not appear to have been definitely conclu
ded at the time ot the Americas departure,
though nothing unfavorahle had occurred.
"At least, this state of the case is to be in.
ferred from the only letter of his that has been
made public to day. The senior member of
the house with which the negotiation was pen.
ding, was absent from England. and Mr.. Cor.
coran himself had also gone to France for u few
days.
"He still expects to return in the steamer of
the 23d September. His negotiations had been
conducted with privacy, and none OF the clrcu.
lars mention them, nor do they appear to have
become known at all in The monetary circles OF
London.
"Mcanwhile American stocks maintained
their prices, with moderate business, but not
more so than was proportioned to the general
dullucss oftradc.
Is Porertya Crime7-Cer,ainly it must be
50, for we see the rich (perbaps) rascal courtcd,
his offences forgotten, while the poor man, with
no stain on his character bn. poverty, is shun.
ned and OF no repute. There is redecming
grace in gold, which hides iniquity. As the
gold leaf applied to pustules Of the small Pox,
prevents their leaving a pit, so does the same
gold, in the shape Of current coin, restore the
wounded reputation, leaving not scar behind.
