SOUTHERN RIGHrs MEETING AT AMERICus. AT
meeting of several hundred persons in Americas,
on the 7th instant, for the consideration and dis
cussion ofthose questions, involving the rights of
the South in the Territory recently acquired from
Mexico, Mr.. Newman McBain, Wing, and Mr..
George Dykes, Democrat, were called on to pre-
side, and DR.. j. @. McCrary, Wing, and VIM. B.
Query, Democrat, tn act us Secretaries. ai
After few energetic and pertinent remarks by
Mr.. McBan, explanatory of the object Of the
meeting, A. A. Robinson, ESQ.,, offered the follow
ing preamble and resolutions, and occupied the
floor about fifty minutes in urging the proprlety OF
their adoption.
The great interests involved in the political
questions which now engross the public mind,
render it proper that the people, in their primary
meetings, should express their convictions as to
the right involved and as to the duty Of the pub
lie servants, who have been selected to guard
those rights, therefore
Resolved, That we approve most heartily, the
resolutions of the Southern meeting of the mem
bers of Congress-, held recently at Washington
City. $3.50 t.r-r
ResoIped, That in our opinion, Congress are
under constitutional obligation to remove every
legal impediment that may arise from Mexican
laws, which serve in the least to embarrass the
emigration of Southern men, with ell their proper
ty recognized by the Constitution, into the newly
acquired territories.
Resolred That such legislation by Congress
would In no way infringe upon That pohcY OF nom
Intervention, which requires that Congress shall
not egisate either to establish prohibit slavery.
RESOLVED, That should Congress fail of its duty,
entirely to abrogate such Mexican laws, as are d.
rectly against that species of property which the
Constitution provides the means Of acquiring,
by prohibiting for twenty years, any Congress
ional legislation of it from abroad, than MS peace
measure, we are willing to accept a secure and
unembarrassed enjoyment Of our property in that
small portion of the newly acquired territory,
south of the Missouri Compromise line
Resolved, That should all free to any
part of the territories, with our peculiar property
be'denied us, and thus al justice denied us, by
Congress acting under Constitution, the very
first sentence Of which declares one OF the first
purposes Of its adoption to be TO establish justice,
then the remedy for the redress Of our wrongs,
and for staying in future the aggressions of our
Northern brethren, we leave to be devised by the
convention, which it will be the duty Of the Gov
ernor of our State, under such exigences to call.
and we pledge our support to any measure OF
redress, which Will 80 mite our brethren of the
South, as to render it practicable.
An animated discussion then ensued between

THE OLDEST REPUBLIC ON EAnrH.-Th,

The OLDEST REPUBLIC ON EARTH.-The
American Quarterly Review contains a letter
from G. w Irving, giving sketch Of his visit
to San Marina, small Republic in Italy, be-
tween the Apprentices, the Pc, and the Adriatic.
The territory of this State is only forty miles
in circumference, and its population about TO-
900. The Republic was founded more than
fourteen hundred years ago, on moral principles,
industry and equality, and has preserved it's lib
erty and independence amidst all the wars AUD
discords which have ragged around it. Bona
parte respected it, and sent an embassy to ex-
press his sentiments of friendship and fraternity
1t is governed by Captain Regent, chosen ev-
cry six months by the representatives Of the
people, (sixty-six in number) who are chosen
every six months by the people. The taxes are
light, the farm houses are neat, the fields well
cultivated on all sides are to be seen comfort
and peace, the happy effects Of morality, simpli-
city, liberty and justice. frsg

VERY ENcoURAGING.-I'h other day we pub
lished an extract from the London AthenGiinl,
wherein an American author, by name " Horace
Gruby, the son-in-law of Bryant the poet,n was
handsomely noticed as person beginning to be
heard Of on the other side of the Atlantic. We
have since seen an-article from Sharpers London
Magazine, on American politics, quite as know
ing as the AtienGum's notice of Mr. Gruby.
Sharpe--most appropriate ame-says;
In 1913 Gen. Taylor became President. He
was opposed by Van Buren,, who, though a
member of the democratic party, had strong
majority IN Massachusetts, and in many of the
whig States as an Abolitionst, so completely
has this question superseded all others in the
present state Of American feeling"
He also alluded to an important person in
American politics, whose name may be well
known in London, but we are as little acquainted
with it as with that Of Mr.. Gruby, Bryant's SON
in-law, viz: Mr.. Burton, the deputy for Mis-
souri,, who, during thirty gears, has refused to
obey the mandate of the constituents to vote the
Wilmot Proviso." This, we think, is very en-
couraging, because it shows that not only our
literature, but also our politics, is beginning to
receive some attention from our brethren across
the water But, considering the immense ercu-
lation of the "Herald for Europe and the
Tribune for Europe" we might have expected
a little more accuracy respecting such ilustrions
names as Gruby and Burton--N Y. Mirror.

CASTOR BEANs.--A gentleman who has just
returned from a tour through twelve or fifteen
counties of Southern Illinois, assures us
that the bean crop of that region was never
larger or more productive. At rough estimate
the yield is set down at full 33 per cent more
than last year. The crop is now pretty well
matnred, and no accident can affect either the
quality or the amount raised Our manufacture
ers are now paying for the light supplies of the
new crop coming in, from s. 25 to 81 so per
bushel, and at these prices we should think it
the most profitable article that can be grown in
localities suitable for its production.-St Louis

MORE ABDUCTION OF SLAVES FROM PENsAco-
LA.--The Pensacola Democrat says -We are
that within the last three or four days
three more valuable servants, belonging to
different individuals in this community, have dis
appeared. From the character and habits OF the
missing servants there is little orno doubt that
they have been struggled on board OF some YES,
sci bound North, for the purpose OF carrying
them to free State This is now the third IN
stance within few months of slaves being stolen
and carried off In Northern vessels from this
port. Captain Jordan and Mr. Guild both lost
most valuable negroes in this way, and now three
more are doubtless disposed OF IN the same way.
Will we. as Southern men and shareholders, sub

animation Of all such vessels before they are per-
mtted to leave our port.

The former two, declined to argue the resou-
tons proposed, insisting more pertinent CUES
ton TO be, whether we should dissolve the Union
on the admission Of California The latter two
maintained the proprety OF the resolutions and
also that IL no other measure of redress would Sc
cure a portion Of the territory equivalent to that
south Of $500, then dissolution of the Union
would be necessary, in order to prevent further
and worse aggressions.
After the discussion, the vote was taken on the
resolutions, and almost unanimous IN their sup
port-only three or four persons voting in the
negative.
The opposers Of the resolutions excuse the lean
ness Of their vote on the ground Gas they say
that they had no right to vote, because the meet
ing was not called by them. But some of their
abest tacticians admit that they made efforts to
get as many possible to vote against the reso-

Observation-Disclosures has arrived from vi
emma that the Austrian cabine. rejects the Prus-
sian proposal OF q free conference Of all the row
crnu ents, in which to settle the mutual relations
of the German States Prince Schwarzenburp
will insist upon referring the affairs of Germany
to penum, project which cannot be carried
out, partly because all the princes connected
with the union, even Brunswick, have declined,
with Prussia, the Austrian invitation to Frank
fort; and partly because France and England
have declared that they cannot acknowledge anv
political body as the central organ of Germany
in which Prussia is not represented $500

renty about to be cut by Austria The limited
or restricted Germanic Diet Ohnt u.s. the form of

Der than in the Plenum) met at Frankfort on the
I'd instant, under the Presidency of Austria
The powers represented at the Diet are Austria,
Bavaria, Wurtembnrg, Hanover, Saxony, Eiccto-
raj, Hesse, Hesse Darmstadt, Denmark for Hol-
stein, Holland for Luxembourg, Mecklenburg
Stretz, and Lippe Detmold, Prussia and her
allies, who would have a majority of votes if
present, have refused to take any part in the
proceedings; and will not recognize the Diet in
any way whatever. They declare that the Ger
maniac confederation died legal death in March,
lS48; that Austria has no power to revive it,
and that they shall disregard the resolutions of
the so-called Diet. On the other hand, Austria
and her allies have sgnfed their determination
to make their resolutions and acts respected,
even by force of arms. This important fact is
said to have been officially notified by Austria to
the French and English governments. If this
be so, and the rival parties adhere to their pres
ent determinations, the question Of Germanunity
may yet precipipate Germany into the conflict
which has been foreboded The scmi-odicial

ton has been received from England and France,
setting forth that those powers will not be rep

in which Prussia refuses to take part If this
statement be authentic, the Austrian Bundestag
will want the sanction of the great European
powers. n
