From augusta (Ga.) Republic.
Meeting Saturday Night.

The meeting on Saturday evening last for the
purpose Of forming Southern Rights Association
was attended by very respectable number. 1t
was decidedly encouraging, when it is recollected
that no speaking was expected and the only object
was to form an Association. We publish the de-
caration Of sentiments, upon which the Associa-
ton is based. The officers will be elected at the
first regular meeting, on the first Friday in next
month. This delay was thought proper by the
meeting in order that as argea number as possible
might participate in the election. We trust that
similar Associations will be formed throughout
the State and the South The people ofthe South
have only to unite and be true to themselves to
secure their Just demands. To THE RESCUE THEN
FREEMEN OF THE SOUTH!

OF Congress- alone. We could we'll apply proper
name to that portion Of your remarks now under
consideration, but we determined to use no
language which can be considered disrespectftl.
| But you will submit to no encroachnlent upon the
South Is il no encroachment upon the South
when Congress assumes to enter the States and
legislate for the slave between him and his mas.
ter and that at a time when every slavc-holding
State has already ample provisions whereby ne
gro may obtain and enjoy every right which may
belong to him. as if the States could not or were not
to be trusted in the matter, and it was incumbent
upon Congress to interfere protect the slave from
his own master, and secure him u trial by jury
On this, sir, as on other matters, exclusively with
in their own jurisdiction and control, the South
will not submit to interference, either Congress-
ional or Executive. NJ
On another subject we find you entertaining
opinions at war with the doctrine Of 'snon-
interference. We alude to the abolition Of the
slave-trade in the District of Columbia. The
Southern people have, in the most unequivocal
manner, put their seal Of condemnation upon the
measure. Do not permit yourself to be deceived;
the South has not changed her sentiments upon
this, and will not submit to interference
We scarce know how to treat the doctrine adj
vanced upon the sixth page of the pamphlet edi-
ton of your speech, that, although weak nations
must adhere to principle, large and powerful ones
may not; that large States should submit to ag-
gression, insult and wrong. How far should they
go in this submission' Should the United States,
now TINT they are strong, submit to be taxed byth
Parliament of Britain Should the South submit
to Executive and Northern aggressive interference
with their most sacred rights and intimate domes-
tic relations, confirmed by Congress Are the free
dom and dignity of great people Of less value
than those Of a small State Your remarks would
seem answerable to all these questions aifirma-
lively.
II it is designed to intimate that the Democrats
of the South may sanction the influence Of the
Executive, by confirming its acts in Congress, as
the blame would rest upon the Wigs, as the
consequence Of their having the occupancy of that
department Of the Government, we would say,
that you greatly mistake their sentiments upon
this subject as well the sentiments Of the South
ern people, and hurl back the implied accusation
that we could, as unworthy Of one who bears the
name Of DEMocRAr, and insulting to us as citizens
and men. Upon party questions still
differ, and differ honestly; upon questions like this
we know no parties but the South, and the ene-
mics who assail her.
One, if the not the great source, of the opinions
you entertain, seems to be the opinion that the
measure is approved in your State. In this we
resnect fully heeve vou are IN error Won nrohah

The DEATH OF THE REV. j. N. MAFFITT. We
have seen aletterto gentleman from Mobile, now
at the Aston House, in this city, in which there is
full and complete refutation of the calumny, re-
Gently circulated, that the Rev. Mr.. Mafitt aided
his death by a suicidal act The letter states that
this celebrated clergyman was treated with marked
kindness by the respectable inhabitants ofMobile
there was no sentiment felt towards him less
than that of kindness. The writer says that his
preaching, to the last, well received, and that
his numerous auditors manifested no feeling but
that of deep regard and appreciation Of his talent.
His death was caused by disease of the heart--a
post norton examination providing that ian aneurism
of the aorta existed, which eventually severed the
heart into two parts.

ARRIVAL OF OVERLAND EMGRANTs.-A gentle
man, who came down from Weavervie on Mon
day last, states that about forty emigrants arrived
at that place on Saturday, who have come from
Missouri this spring, by the Carson route. This
party left independence about the first Of April,
and came with pack mules. After they had been
on their journey about ten days, they passed some
six hundred teams, which had started on the jour
ney before them. In crossing the mountains, this
company often found the snow from fifteen to thirty
feet deep, but it was so close packed that mules
feet only made slight impression on it.
The company arrived are in all in good health,
and it appeas that they choose the best season to
perform their journey. The animals are reported
in good condition, and generally have been in good
grazing. This accounts for the short time spent
on the way. The average distance passed over
per diem is over thirty miles. 1t is probable that
last years experience by emgrants on the over
land route will be the means of preventing much
suffering this season, as those who follow the ex-
ample Of the former will set out knowing the diff
culties they will have to encounter, and prepared
to meet them.

Our Cry GAS GHT.-Observlng the beauty
of the gas light last evening, we were led to in
quire into the cause, and have been informed that
the light is that discovered by Dr. Gesner, who
has obtained patent for it in this country
1t is made from bitumen, or asphaltum, of which
abundant supplies may be obtained at cheap
rate, and from the quantity and quality of the gas
it yields, it will reduce the cost OF illumination
fifty per cent. The Scientific American, which ia
good authority in such cases, says I" it is an adj
mirable invention" There is no humbug about it.

Mr.. T. d. RICE. The theatre-going public
have now an opportunity of witnessing this cele-
brated and popular comedian, who is playing a
brief engagement at the Adelphi Theatre. Mr..
Rice is the original delineator of negro character
upon the stage, and of course was the first to
"Turn about and wheel about,
And jump Jim Crow"
The novelty of his performances created Juror
at our metropolitan theatres, and met the same
results in Europe, whittier he went and remained
some years, his frequent representations being
attended with overHowing houses. His pieces
belong to himself, and are played by no one else,
very humorous in their character, and well'calcu-
lated to deveope his peculiar talent and give effect
to his inimitable presentations.
Some have been added since his return from
England, one of which is the "Mysterious Knock
ings," most ludicrous and witty affair One
piece among others we hope to have an opportu-
nifty of seeing before he leaves us, which is the
admirable opera Of ''Bone Squash" This play
abounds in fine choruses and thrilling incl
dents, ;" and never fails to fill the theatre.
The Adelphi is handsomely fitted up, and with
the large fan in constant operation, Is the coolest
place OF amusement in town. we have no doubt
ihat the lovers of fun and fine acting are sufR-
ciently numerous in Washington to fill the benches

Next came Ramsay, of Harris. We have no
words to express approval of the effort of this
gentleman. Young as he looks, he has the faculty
of talking to great many people at once, and hold
ing them attentive. Would that the South had
thousand Ramsays. His remarks were received
with continued and prolonged applause, and
warmed up the people to the true feeling on the
subject. He was followed by Mr.. Moses, who
kent the crowd until the dinner hour in deep at
tention. and sometimes he had them laughing, and
sometime ready to cry, at the by turns, ludicrous
and serious pictures he drew of the condition and
prospects of the South
Afer Mr.. Moses concluded, the vote was taken
upon the Resolutions All present were invited,
nav exhorted by the President to vote, and in all
that vast crowd there was NOT one single roice
against the Resolutions. They were carried unor-
