From the Southern (Ja.) Argus.

The advocates of the compromise measure,
in and ont of Congress, We're confident in their
predictions, that so soon as their system of adj
ustment was adopted quiet and tranquility
would be restored in the land and that even the
ultra fanatics at the North would cease to agi-
tate the subject of slavery. The delusve sound
of spence, peace is waited through the coun-
try on the wings oflightning, at a time, when
there ia every indication of disposition, both
Mt the North and in Congress, to meddle with
| our most vital interests. The foul spirit will
not down at the potential bidding either of MIR.
Clay or Cass, II is folly to attempt to arrest
it while these fanatics have the sagacty to per-
ceive that the South are prepared tamely to sub
mt to every aggression. The compromise
will bat serve to encourage them to further as
saults and invasions upon our rights. Mr. Sc
wards bill for the emancipation OF slaves in the
District Of Columbia, received five votes in the
Senate. and the vote would have quadrupled
that number, but as remarked by Mr.. Winthrop
of Mass. the slime was not propitious for its
passage" The idea conveyed was that the
South must be permitted to have a little repose
to enable her to recover from the blow already
| inflicted, and then the dose would be repeated
! More recently Senator Chase has given notice
of his intention to introduce bill prohibiting
slavery in the territories Of the United States
and Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, has given no
tice of his intention to bring forward in the
House of Representatives, bills "to abolish slW.
ery in the Territory of Utah: to repeal so mucl
of the acts establishing territorial governments
! Of New Mexico and Utah, rs recognizes slavery
in sud territories, and as pledges the nation tC
admit new slave States into the Union, and to
repeal and annn the Fugitive Slave law"
Thus we see that all the fair promises anc
solemn pledges made to the South are disre
garded and violated even before opportunity was
a orded this grand scheme of pacfcatiou to be
promulgated to the people. Added to these
moves IN Congress, the combined Free-so and
Abolition presses are hurting their 6rebrands
and moving heaven aud earth in resistance to
the adjustment They have vowed an implaca
bic vengeance against our institutions, and have
resolved in their wrath that agitation shall never
slumber or sleep until the South are reduced to
the unfortunate fate of the people of the West
| Indies Our people witness and are sensible oi
these things, but they seem to prefer the degra
dation of submission, to o bold AMI manly asser
ton of their rights. Had the present genera
ton lived in '76 in the day that tried mems
souls we fear the South would have con-
tnued 10 the present hour the colonists OF Great
| Britain.

From The augusta (Ga Republic.

The STATE CONVENTION recent pro-
camaton of the Governor calling convention
of the people of the State viii wake a thrill of
State pride and patriotic feeling in the breast of
every true hearted Georgian Wherever it is
read, the solemn truths which it contains, and
the calm, dignitied and impressive style in which
they are put forth, will make deep and las
ting impression upon the minds and feelings of
the people We have seldom seen "a paper of
more oonsiderate, prudent and deliberate tenor,
counselng the people to no rash or precipitate
measure, but yet earnestly exhorting them to
approach the subject before them awed bv no
paltry fears and intimidated by no idle danger.
1t is evident to all that some step must be
taken to secure our safety from the attacks of
Abotionists and Free-so The Constitution
Of the United States, which was formed for the
protection of all the States, is crumbling and
falling every day before the assaults of these
wild fanatics, and serves only as a sane ion or
cover for their designs. The South has no
check, no controlling power for her protection
against their wanton and outrageous attacks
upon the most sacred rights. A majority, reck-
less in their power breaks the Constitution, in
fringes upon personal and property rights and
inilicts disgraccful wrong--all calling for some
"mode md measure of redress" on the part of
each and every Southern State.
The last Legislature ofour State, BY an almost
unanimous vote, directed the Governor in certain
contingencies, among which was the admission
of California as State, TO call a Convention of
the people. The Governor, in so doing, only
performs a duty which he owes to the State of
Georgia. He has performed this duty in a most
admirable manner. He recounts the wrongs
which the South has received from the hands
of the North--the many acts of aggressive hos
tility--the many dcni Is of justice--the many
and aggravated forms in which our institutions
have been derided and placed in danger by ''the
free soil sentiment, not merely of the slavehol-
ding States, BUT OF THE GOVERNMENT"
1t is fearful sign of the times, that one of
the United States, equal and sovereign with all
the other States, has been compelled to take .
formal step for the pindication Of her rights, and
for the redress Of her wrongs, II shows how

THE BEGINNING OF THE END --Ihere is now
under discussion in the United States Senate a
proposition for the abolition Of slarery in The
Dish ict Of Columbia, submitted by Mr.. Sew1Rl,
of New York, as an amendment to the last frag-
ment of the Omnibus" for abolishng the slave
trade in the District of Columbia Mr.. Seward
is too fast. His proposition will be defeated in
all probability this time The dose would be
rather too heavy to be taken all at once. Let
him :" hold his horses" for a short time, and that
his proposition will be sanctioned by Congress,
we have not the shadow of doubt. We should
not be at all surprised if a proposition for the
abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia
passed the next House of Representatives, Marx

NORTHERN GREEpINEss AND AuDAcITY.-The
following paragraph is from Northern paper,
which is not called by its friend an ultra, has al
ready appeared in one of the SUBMISSION
presses in Georgia, as an evidence that the South
has lost nothing by the late bills passed by Con
gress; but the contrary, thatthe boot is on the
other leg, We presume this, and similar para
graphs which we have seen IN many other North
ern papers, will go the rounds of the Southern
submission press for the same purposes:

Another TRIUMPH FOR SLAVERY Freedom 5
Banner trails in the dust at Washington Slavery
las achieved another triumph! Twenty-Five thou
sand square miles of Free-so has, IN the last halt
Of the 10Th century, by an act Of the American
Congress, been surrendered TO slavery And
amid the canking of the newly forged fetters we
hear the craven voice of exultaiion Yes, North
ern throats are hoarse with rejoicings at the VIC
tory obtained by slavery over freedom! Oh tnat
some avepgng angel would blot out the disgrace
fll record that our posterity might be spared the
modification of blushng at the degeneracy OF their
fathers
So far from this proving what is here sought to
be proved it is only evidence ofthe nsatiate greed
mess, and insulting arrogance Of our woud-b
Northern masters. The Texas boundary bill
took ONLY about one hundred and twenty thousand
square miles of her territory, recognized as such
heretofore by the most solemn action Of this Gov
ernment, and made it free soil by attaching IT to
Mexico. The grievance of which this anti-sa-
very paper complains is, that Congress did not
take ALL that the North claimed as belonging to
New Mexico. 1t still left to Texas the small rem
nant Of about 5000 square miles of what was
claimed Even this trivial modicum of forbear-
ance enrages the rampant spirit of anti-slavery.

Congress to refuse to impose a direct tax, and o
heavy one, too, upon slaves--a tax that would
render slaves valueless to the owners, will SOON,
at this rate, be dubbed concession to the slare

Northern arrogance does not content itself with
idle and mendacious assertions, that concessions

SOUTHERN RIGHTS BARBEcUE.-The meeting Of
the citizens Of DeKalb which came off in this
city, on Saturday last, was well attended, when
considered as county meeting. During the fore
noon and afternoon addresses were made to
the meeting by Col. A. f. Luckie, Chairman, ].
l.. Harris, esq Captain A. Nelson, Of Cobb, w.
B. Prior, Of Lagrange, Geo. X. Smith, esq, of
Stone Mountain, and F, II. West of Atlanta
The general tenor Of the addresses during the
day were much the same--a review Of the pro-
gress of Abolitionism as connected with the past
political history Of the General Government H.
Illustrations showing the various aggressions on the
rights of the slaveholding portion Of the Union;
speculations to the compromise bill; that there
was nothing but violated faith on the part of the
free States to be in the past--that the present
is still more gloomy and forboding--thnt there is
nothing to hope for in the future--in the Union
and that the only security for the future wss to be
found in dissolution of ihe Union. The Federal
Government received any thing but eulogiums,
and as to the Star Spangled Banner, their song
was any thing rather than "Oh long may it
wave" In short, disuaion was the motto OF the
meeting, and the principal orators seemed to vie
with each other in the heartiness with which they
goried in the epithet of traitors TO government,
which they held was already abrogated by vio-
lation of the compact on which it rested. We
did not hear the speech Of Mr., Prior, of Lagrange.
but we understand that it was much more con-
ciliatory in its character than those of the other
orators, and many Of his sentiments were not by
any means congenal with their own. The meet
ing finally adjourned without further action.

n4- We gained nothing! And why was it
we gained nothing! 1t was because the minds
Of our people were suspended by party turbu-
lence--by polite distractions and personal
feuds. carried on To an alarming extent by the
exciting and menacing tone of political presses.
Instead of annihilatng the very symptoms of
discord among ourselves on the great questions
at issue, it seemed rs though the sword OF
party anmosity had been drawn with madness
for some internal struggle Let every candid
and thinking citizen of this venerable common
wealth, ask himself, if we can ever expect to ef-
feet ANYTHING under the present existing state OF
party feeling. The fires of agitation and the OBJ
stnate political animosity which we arc now sut-
fering under, must become reoOncilcd-party
grievances must be laid aside-socia feelings
must be reknded and union and confidence
amorg ourselves will alone insure the preserva-
ton Of our institutions
1t would be well for those presses in Georgia
who still cling to the dying sounds of party
agitation, and endeavor to keep open the bleed
ing wound of our own unhappiness, to pattern
from the cautions conduct of Northern Journals.
Whatever divisions may exist among themselves,
their cherished policy is to make the appearance
rs conservative as possible. They value the
strength which union alone can give them, and
even the most unguarded 1anaElc, never looses
sight or that wise policy, which avoids party d-
visions on all great momentous questions
Never was the South more deceived than at the
present, and never was there time in her his
tory, when there was more need of her being
united, than tho present 1t is not the ascend
ency of Wing or Democrat--it is not the gain
ing position Of one party, or the other, by which
the emoluments of office are to incite the anx-
ious applicant But it is the North against the
South-the dire enmty Of fast increasing party,
against the constitutional organization Of our
system of labor. We ask those presses then to
consider the amount of evil they are doing by
keeping up this useless opposition against the
rights of the South. Cast off the love of agita-
ton, and unite together upon one common
Southern platform, and the feuds of party which
have SO obstinately beset MS, will repose in for
getfulness.

After having robbed The South Of all share in
tho publfe dornan, il tnlfo OF its concessions to
The ssauI poscsr, and now says the South must
nv for these concessions by giving the North a
higher tariff.
Washington to the New York Courier and En-
quirer, looks to us like climax of cool and un-
blnshing impudence
The Tariff has had another defeat and coming
soon AFTER the recent concessions, one winch
has surprised The Northern members, VINO were
partially persuaded to iorego their opposition to
those measure s. under the expectation, that relief
would be afforded to the suffering manufacturing
interests. When the Committee were called, Mr.
Toombs reported resolution under the direction
of the Committee of Ways and Means, declaring
II inexpedient to make any modification OF the
tariff. Mr. Vlnton, proposed an amendment, ny
striking out all after the word "resolved, and IN
serting construction Of the proviso attached TO
the Civil Bill Of l846-which has already appeared
ia this orrespondence--declarng that the average
market valuation Of 1916 should be the standard
for assessing duties, &c. This reasonable modif-
cation was voted down by three majority-ayes
SO, nays 96. The question then occurred on the
original resolution Of MIR. Toombs, which shared
the same fate--ayes 81, nays SO. Il was now pro-
posed TO reconsider the first vote, and Of course
motion made to lay that motion on the table.
The reconsideration was finally denied, ayes 80,
nays, SO, which the Speaker announced SO quickly,
suit 1t is due to the Southern Wings to say, that
with very few exceptions, they faced the music.
Mr. Stephens and Mr.. Toombs did their part in
such manner to challenge respect and good
feeling. Several of the Pennsylvania Loco Focos
bolted and determined the question against their
own State. The Western Democrats voted, as
usual, with their Southern allies, for which they
will get paid off before the day of adjournment.
Another effort will be made to attach this PROPOSE
ton to the Civil and Diplomatic Bill, but the indi-
cations are very discouraging. This is the first
chapter of Southern gratitude for Northern con-
cession.
And you, people Of Georgia, are to be taxed
heavily taxed, to pay for the concessions lately
made yea, concessions consisting in not having
stripped you, all at once, of all yo,w rights. And
your recreant representatives, Robert Toombs and
Alexander II. Stephens. who have clustered SO
loudly Of Southern rights, to assist in this
Legislative process Of fleeing you to build up
Northern manufacturing towns and villages They
may face the sweet and seductive music by which
Northern power may lure them to the betrayal of
the peoples rights. But Georgia has never yet
given her voice for high tariffs, and that voice will
be raised in tones Of thunder. which her delegates
in Congress will not dare to disregard.
