Mr. Rowles of Tenn. stated in letter to the
President Of the Convention that he would not
consider the question which called the first Con
venton settled-only postponed. He had no con-
fdence in the integrity OF men who had violated
every compromise they had hitherto made with
the South. He was convinced we must stop the
sale of broems wooden clocks and nutmegs In the
South for year, when the Higher Law advocates
gould discover new beauties in the sublanary
Constitution.
The resolution of Mr. Jones Of G declared the
equality OF rights secured by the Constitution vi
oleted by erecting California into a State, tab
and New Mexico into Territorial Governments,
aad Remembering Texas, and that non-intercourse
was called for
The resolutions of Mr. Hunter of Ca declared
the Government in the hands OF the North and
the South in utter dependence on abolition major
tiles in Congress. The property OF the South de-
ponds npon slaves We should repel every as
sault upon that institution at all hazards He

mended Constitutional resistance to the acts OF
Congress when that failed each state decide Tor

Mr.. Davenport of Miss. declared the right OF

The North, and called upon the South for concen-
trated action to save the Union by Convention,

President with the North,
Gen Pillow of Tenn. embodied the views OF
the majority of the Delegates, and recommended
that, although bills of Congress tell short OF
Justice to the South that the Convention declare
its willingness to abide by the laws OF the land,
thereby giving proof of their attachment to the
Union that the South demand that the agitation
Of the Slavery question at the North cease ana
that the repeal of the Fugitive Slave bill would
render all further association impossible; recon-
mending non intercourse, if the North did not
faithfully perform her part according to the action
of Congress that if further interference with
Slavery be persisted ill., that the Legislatures OF
the several States elect Delegates for q General
Convention.
Mr. Donaldson of Tenn. recommended acques-
cence in the laws by the South, that the Conven.
ton would not anticipate the course of action OF
part OF members of the Federal compact, but
would Justify extreme measures that the motto
of Southern States is "PerpetNuy to the CHto"
and the Constitution" and that tins Convention
will look to open resistance as revolutionary
remedy only whore such an Interpretation OF the
Federal Constitution is intorced as will make the
Federal Government an instrument of intolerable
tyranny and oppression
