JEWETT'S IMPROVED
CARY PLOUGH

N ly on hand large supply of the
<s-esssssss~ab above justly celebrated Plough,
ooth and horse, right and left hand. with the latest
improvements; and are prepared to supply any num-
Der that may be wanted. This Plough is much i'm
proved this year, by setting the beam two inches
hisher than heretofore and by continuing the
OF the lahu side regularly round up to the beam;
Which entirely prevents straw weeds from hang
ing under it; thereby rendering it almost impossible
10 choke IT out in the worst Of stubble. The mould
board Is put on with bolts instead of rvets, here
tofore, which makes the Plough much more easy to
repair. The heel of the Landslide is cast in chill,
winch hardens ii as hard cast steel, and prevents
II from wearing OF: thereby preventing the Plough
from running unsteady after being used year or
two. The mould board of the Patent Cary is made
OF wrought iron, and the share of steel, and will
scour as bright silver, in the lightest soil. To
those who are acquainted with the Patent Cary, it is
unnecessary to say anything; but to those who are
not, we say try it, and judge for yourselves. This
Plough Is much more durable than almost any other
made In the country, and at the prices which it is
now sold, 1t is without doubt the cheapest.

the benefit of mankind generally. do hereby certify
that on or about the 9Th day Of October s47 Twas
attacked with very severe pain in the lower part
OF the abdomen. which lasted but few minutes
and moved into the left hip, and continued cxceed-
lngy painful for about five days, during which time
had very light fever; at the end of that time the
Fever ceased and the pain abated for day or two,
after which 1t again returned and was much worse
than before. During all this time was under med
ical treatment. From short time after was talk

the pain was SO bad commenced rising until some
time in January, when it burst and number of pie.

Some Of the pieces were three -fouIths of an inch
long. Some time after this hard knot appeared on
my right hip, also one on my right wrist and one on
my leg, below the knee. l continued to get weak
and worse, and pain made its appearance in nv
right shoulder. and would move in my breast and
stomach. At this time all persons gave me up TO

using the three last bottles the knot on nv hin bc

PRocEEDINGs OF THE CONVENTION
SECOND Day.
Nashville, Nov. Ii.


The Convention assambled here
this mo ming at 10 a. IN. and after
being called 10 order, the President
asked the secretary to read the letter
received from the absent member of
the Tennessee delegation, Mr.. Bow
les, with which the Secretary com
piled.
Mr.. Bowles. Of Tennessee, stated
he did not consider the question
which called together the first Coa-
vention settled;it was only postponed.
He had no confidence in The integri-
ty of men who had violated every
compromise they have hitherto made
with The South.
The States being called, Jones and
Hunter, of Georgia; Davenport, Of
Mississippi; Pillow and Donelson of
Tennessee; and Cheves, of South
Carolina made thcirappearance.
Mr.. Jones, of Georgia, offered a
resolution calling for equality ofrights
as secured by the constitution, and
declares that these rights were viola
ted by erecting California into a
State, and Utah and New Mexico
into Territorial Governments, and
dismembering Texas, and that non
intercourse was called for.
Mr.. Hunter, of Ga. offered reso-
luton declaring the Government in
the hands of fthe North, and the South
in utter dependence on abolition ma
jorities in Congress. The property
of the South depends upon slavery.
We should repei every assault upon
that institution, az all hazards. He
alluded to the California bill, &c. as
robberes of Southern rights, and de-
clared them unconstitutional. The
Fugitive Slave law is no concession.
He recommended constitutional re-
sistance TO the acts Of Congress;
when that failed, each State shall de-
eide for herself the mode of redress.
Mr.. Davenport, Of Miss. declared
their right to secede--reviewed the
wrongs alleged TO be perpetrated by
the North, and called upon the South
for concentrated action to save the
Onloji liTouBb tlllS COnVcntlOn. f1c
recommended non-intercourse, and
that the South go into National con-.
vention for President without the
North.
Gen. Pille w of Tenn. recommen-
ded, that although the bills of Con-
gress fell short of justice 70 the South,
that the convention declare lis VIII
lingness TO abide by the laws of the
land, thereby giving proof Of their
attachment TO the Union--that the
South demand that agitation of slave
ry at the North cease, and declare
that the repeal ofthe Fugitive Slave
bill would render all further associa-
Itions impossible, He recommended
non-intercourse if the North did not
faithfully perform her part according

PREAMBLE:
Whereas, it is apparent, not only
from the acts OF injustice which have
been perpetrated by the dominant
majority III Congress, but also from
the course of systematic and organ
ized aggressionson the rights of the
South which have been for years pur-
sued by the Northern States of this
Union, that there is a fixed and un-
aterable determination on the part
of those States to rob us OF our po-
litlcal rights and TO despoil us of our
domestic Institutions; and, believing,
as we do, that their peaceable pos
session and even preservation mas
become incompatible with our pres
ent relations 10 tie existing Confed-
elacy, and having been forced to the
painfiilconvict;on that South Caro-
lima in common with her sister States

tween the preservation of her rights

do now organize and constitute our
selves into an Association for the de-

ests, the objects and rules of which,
we hereby pledge ourselves as men
