One OF THE STORMS We thought
that we had very respectable hail storm
in this region some months since, but
the storm spoken of in the following dis
patch beats us badly:
PlTTsBuRG, Sept. %.
Yesterday this city was visited by
one of the severest hail storms ever
known. There is scarcely house here
or in Allegheny City but the windows
are nearly all destroyed. The hail fell
in enormous bulk, and every root is
more or less injured. To give an idea
of the immense size of the hail stones,
and its effects, it is only necessary to
say that some of the hail passed thro'
iron roofs to the first floor of the house;
this may appear hard for belief, yet it is
undoubtedly true. The amount of dam
age cannot be known.

THE ADDR f s

-
The committee to aohich aoas referred the
dutu of preparing an Address to the peo-
ple of the slareholding States upon the
subject of a Southern Organ, to be estob-
Hsied in the City Of Washington, put
forth the following:
FELLow-cITIzENs: A number Of Sena-
tors and Representatives in Congress from
the Southern States of the Confederacy deep
ly impressed with sense of the dangers
which beset those States, have considered
carefully our means of self-defence within
the Union and the Constitution, and have
come to the conclusion that it is highly impor-
tant to establish in this city paper, which,
without reference to political party, shall be
devoted to the rights and interests OF the
South, so far as they are involved in the ques-
tons growing out of African slavery. 10
establish and maintain such paper, your
support is necessary, and accordngl y we
address you on the subject.
In the contest now going on, the constl-
tutional equality of fifteen States is put in
question Some sixteen hundred millions
worth of negro property is involved directly,
and indirectly, though not less surely, an IN
calculable amount of property in other forms.
But to say this is to state less than half the
doom that hangs over you. Your social
forms and nstitutions-which separate the
European and the African races into distinct
classes, and assign to each different sphere
in society--are threatened with overthrow
Whether the negro is to occupy the same
social rank with the white man, and enjoy
equally the rights, privileges, and immuni-
ties OF citizenship-in short, all the honors
and dignities of society---is a question OF
greater moment than any mere question OF
property can be. $685." ....
Such is the contest now going on-a con-
test in which public opinion, if not the pre-
vailing, is destined to be most prominent
force and yet, no organ of the united inter
ests of those assailed has as yet been es-
tablished, nor does there exist any paper
which can be the common medium tor an
interchange of opinions amongst the South
ern States. Public opinion, as it has been
formed and directed by the combined inhu-
ence of interest and prejudice, IS the force
which has been most potent against us IN
the war now going on against the insttu-
ton Of negro slavery; and yet we have ta-
ken no effectual means to make and main
tain that issue with it upon which our safety
and perhaps our social existence depends.
Whoever will look to the history Of this
question, and to the circumstances I'M
der which we are now placed, must see
that our position is one Of imminent danger,
and one to be defended by all the means,
moral and political, of which we can avail

didate Mr.. SERGEANT known to be opposed
to us upon the slavery question, and upon every
other which distinguished republican from a
Federalist Mr.. Van Buren, was elected Vice
President, with the aid of Southern votes.
During the term of his services as Vice Presi-
dent and rs President, he and his friends, North
and South, supported, too, by patriotic Wings;
set their faces against agitating the slavery ques-
ton in Congress, or connecting it with party
politics as dangerous to the public peace, and to
the Union. We are assured by our Northern
friends that the Abolitionists were lean minor
ity of moon-struck fanatics Seeing, however,
that they were organized, and that they contin-
ued to throw their fire-brands into Congress, it
seemed to me to be no less matter of feeling
and principle, than of calculating policy, to hold
out the right hand of fellowship TO our North
ern friends; and |, for one, was not ashamed
(though private ctizen) to be considered a par
tisan in support of Northern politicians. shall
ever be proud to be considered partisan, Us
long as | can find party honestly contending
for the rights of the States, upon constitutional
principles, and for the freedom of the people
from governmental injustice.
