To gain correct knowledge of the sentiments by
which the Southern conventonists are prompted
we must look 10 the givings.ont Of those who arc
accounted their leading men. To resist Northern
aggression Is the object in Mississippi; to cut
ourselves Che South from a worse than colonial
vassalage tothe North is the purpose announced by
South Carolina unlimited States rights, and an
entire independence of the Federal Government,
seems to be the idea in Alabama-all meaning,
however, about the same.
John A. Campbell, Esq, of Mobile, has recently
addressed letter in regard to the Nashville Con-
vention to Gov. Collier, Of Alabsma-by the way,
first rate, highly talented, vrtuous and conserva
tive Governor: We have high respect for Col.
Crmpbell's ability as lawyer-he has few equals
in the South but bis political views We do not ad-
mire. In the letter alluded to he announces the
following doctrines;
" Our State became a party to the Union by its
free consent, and when that union is source Of
dshonor and disparagement the people, in the con-
stitutOnal exercise of their power of selfgovern-
meTit, may abolish that union. All that I knoio OF
soDereagnfy and all that oDe Of allegiance is TO
the people of Aia6ama.''
The principle of States rights is here set forth in
manner decidedly sub)imated. We have been Of
the opinion that we-citzens alike of the United
StsseS ohu VI A4Vut'ioh1-oWo butuo ulicRlhuCe 10
the United States Government. We had thought
that in its appropriate sphere much of sovereign
~ belongs to the Federal Government, as to the
government of Alabama or Louisiana. II is, in
fact, under the constitution of the former that the
latter governments have their existence. 1t was
not in the power of Alabama alone oby her own free
CONSENT" 10 become member of the Union. OF
her own free will, it is true, she proposed ii and
Congress, seeing that her proposition was in &C.
cordance with the requirements of the Constitution,
accepted it. Thus she was admitted, and now
holds her position as one of the confederacy of
States, under the Constitution of the Union. By
this constitution she is bound in every act Her
Governors, her Judges, her officers of every char
acter and grade, are sworn to supportit.
The citizens of Alabama, according to the an
nouncement of Col. Campbell, owe no allegiance
to the Federal Government. OF course, the cit.
zens of Louisiana do not, nor the citizens of New
York. Why, then, permit this foreign power to
erect forts and arsenas and quarter its troops on
our soil Why permit it to establish custom
and post-ofices in towns, and impose taxes, in
various ways, upon our people Why, in short, is
there President Of the United States, federal iu
dietary, and an army and navy!
But on this point we have said enough. The
idea that the citizers Of Alabama, or Of any State
Of the Union, owe allegiance only 10 their own
State Government is a new one, and, considering
The source whence IL comes, most extraordinary.

The seventy-hith anniversary of The battles of
Lexington and Concord, was celebrated with great
pomp on the 18th ult. A large concourse assem-
bled from the city of Boston and the neighboriug
villages. The railroads which now concentrate
in Boston, bring together large masses at but little
of time money. One of the country military
companies was armed with the old-fashioned wea-
pons and accoulrements-many of which had been

Preservation Of Health.

| lis remarkable that go little attention j,
paid to the preservation of health, at leas
while health remains, when only is preser.
va:ion possible. Pleasure seekers .contin.
ually commit excuses which shorten life.--
Men, ambitious of wealth or fame, tax the
brain beyond its capacity. Families will
live, year after year. in damp crowded, or
apartments. Mothers will
select as nursery and sleeping room for
infant children the smallest chamber in the
dwelling, and the one with lowest ceiling.
Persons otherwise, with sepse and pru-
dence, will indulge in dishes that expert
ence proves to be unsuited to them, or will
gorge themselves with otherwise heslthy
food. Proper bathing is neglected. People,
when fatigued. will throw themselves down
in current of air, to sleep, thon perfectly
aware that in the relaxation that ensues the
drsught will give them cold. Slight sf-
fections of throat ard lungs are Disregard
ed, until the evil becomes serious, perhaps
incurable. Exercise is neglected by per.
sons of sedentary employments. Nervous
individuals instead Of avoiding, will seek
excitement. Farmers inhabiting msrshy
districts will overlook every consideration
lof prudence, and sacrifice themselves to
SLOW agues or violent fevers. In short, the
laws of physical existence violated in every
wav, and ouly when the long series of fol-
lies begin to tell'o on the constitution is at
tention directed to the subject. Then the
sufferer thinks Of his health; but alas too
late. The vitality has gone; the victim be-
come vsletudinsrian; and after a few mis-
cradle years Of sufferirg, life goes prema-
tureIy ont. This neglect Of the laws Of
our physical being cannot De too much
reprehended. Many man through igno-
rance or neglect of these laws has shorten
ed life materially. besides leaving impaired
constitutions to his progeny. Persons who
might have lived TO seventy, or even hun
dred cut themselves off at fifty or sixty;
while Others, with still more suicidal policy
wear out their lives at forty. or svsn ear
lier. What between the dereterions in
fuence of many Of our conventional habits,
and the still more injurious of each individ.
usl's csrelessness or excess, the average OF
human life is shortened twenty per cent if
not more. " -r -..-

AWFUL COLLISION AT SEA AND Loss OF

from Charleston, arrived at her dock last
