Letters to the Montgomery Mass Meeting
CAHAwBA, 18th August, 1850.

CAHAwBA, 18th August 1850.
Gentlemen: 1t would afford me great plea
sure to attend the Mass Meeting TO which you
have specially invited me, if it could be done
consistently with my business engagements
The meeting, and tie ends in view, have my
hearty appreciation.
have apprehensions of an unfavorable result
from it, growing out of a timidity incident to
every momentous crisis. If the California bill
becomes law, in the shape we learn it has pas
sed the United States Senate, it is the duty of
the South, in my opinion, to cease all effort at
further adjustment of the slavery question, and
prepare herself, without delay, of secession from
the Union II the submits to the outrage Of ap-
propriating the whole of the territory acquired
from Mexico to free soil purposes, in wanton
disregard offormer concessions of tight, she sub
nit to dishonr and disgrace.
The hope is extensively entertained in this
section of the State, that your meeting will loud
ly call upon the Governor to convene the Legis-
lature, that convention Of the people may be
held as early as possible, with view, by ordi-
nance, to Withdraw in peace from the Confede-
racy, If the contemplated wrong, in the admission
of California, is perpetrated upon US. ....
In my Judgment, there is right and wrong
way to relieve ourselves of the expressions Of

promise and settle, once for all, the strife
between the North and the South, and to
perpetuate the Federal Union, we are will
ing to acquiesce in a division of the terrific
ries between the two sections, upon the old
Missouri Compromise line Of SO degrees 80
minutes north latitude, with protection to the
enjoyment of our slave property south Of that
line-a line which, although it yields up more
than we retain, we are yet willing to adopt
for the sake Of peace, but from which we
will never be driven.

heretofore divided us, sink into insigni6cance
when compared to the momentous import
ance of those which we are now assembled
to consider; and that, throwing aside all
party prejudices, we will unite in the main
tenance Of the principles and positions herein
asserted, cat all hazards, and to the last
extremity"
9. Resolred, That we will, at all hazards,
stand, by, aid and protect Texas against
any invasion of her territory, or usurpations
by the General Government.
10. Resolued, That we tender the Hon.

for their untiring devotion and energy in

South
IL. Reso'red further, That we feel dis

Foote has taken in regard to our dearest
rights, under the flattering but delusive
name Of compromise.
IL. Resoired, That we will support no
man for Office who is not true to the rights
of the South.
l3. Resolred, That a copy of the FORE

the meeting, be transmitted by the presd-

in the "Attala Democrat" " " Kosciusko

copy, when published, be sent to the

A vote being taken on the above resolu-
tions, they were unanimously adopted.
On motion, the meeting adjourned sine

On the first page Of to-days paper Will be
seen the proceedings Of meeting OF the
citizens of Attala on the 18th instant; to
ratify, approve and confirm the resolutions
and address of the Nashville Convention.
On this occasion there was very large turn

of people. and never before in the county Of
Attala. BY IL O'Clock the court house was
crowded to overaowing, and in few min
utes thereafter the meeting was -
On motion Of Col. Durham organized, by
calling Judge Glliland and Dr. Jones to the
chair, to preside; and Messrs Roy and
Andrews to act as Secretaries.
On motion of Col. Durham, committee
of eleven were appointed, to draft and report
suitable and appropriate resolutions express
i've of the sense of the meeting, relative to
the proceedings Of the Southern Conven-
ton.
Whilst the committee was in discharge OF
their duty, Messrs Hemphill and Campbell,
were loudly called for, who addressed the
people in an abe and enthusiastic manner,
setting forth conc sely yet forcibly and in a
clear light the continued aggression and as
saults made upon the South by the North.
But one sentiment with very few excep-
tions, seemed to pervade the public mind, ,
which was the approval of the ecommenda-
tions Of the Convention. The committee,
through their chairman, Col. Durham, re-
ported series ofresolutions, that were adopt
ed by one general burst of applause, to the
perusal of which we especially invite our
readers while they are firm and decided in
their tone of expression, they are mild and
concilatory.

Gentlemen: 1t iswth much regret that find
it out of mo power to avail myself of your po-
lite invitation to be present at the Mass Meeting
to be held in your city on the 18th inst. 1t is
high time for the Southern people. to arouse
from their dreams of security, and to look the
dangers that menace their constitutional rights
in the face. No man can fail to see that the
administration ut Washington, backed by the
numerical majorities, are aiming deadly blows
at the institution Of slavery. The barriers Of
the Constitution are assailed with fanatical vio-
lence, and the object Is boldly ayowed to with
hold from the Southern States an equal partiei-
patton in the fruits of conquests and acquisitions
to which they contributed the principle share.
70 resist such arrogant assumptions is but the
ordinary impulse of manhood-to submit to
them is voluntary degradation. An American
freeman Acknowledges no master hut his God

Constitution.

the London Morning Cronicle, full and inter
esting account Of the Mormons, large number
of whom are constantly emigrating from Eng

three and half tons Of California gold. During
the last ten years, the emigration Of Mormons
from England has been nearly $4,000 and that
during the last year amounted to 25oo-chiefiy
farmers and mechanics of superior class, from
Lancashire, Yorkshire, Wales, and the southern

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMS SHIP
COMPANY-THROUGH PASSAGE. TO

C.HLlFORVNLd.
THE public will be gratifed to learn that the
United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts of this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation Of the great
through passages from Panama in advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other line. Unforeseen difficulties, and the preva-
Ience of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated, and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the impatience of
passengers in going forward, against the advice
of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These Interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able to give the public the assurance that the
VOYAGE through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des-
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists Of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HIrcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, Of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt. ScHENcK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsrEIN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana
ma, will arise:
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

the General Government. cannot subscribe to
the doctrine, that we can stay in the Union and
resist her la,cs, ercep through her Courts. But
We have right to srcede, whenever the evil re-
sulting from continuance in the Union out
weight its advantages, and the tyrannies ofthose
in power become intolerable After the exhaus-
ton of every preliminary step which prudence
can recommend, it is the right and duty Of an
aggrieved State to withdraw herself from her
oppressor. These preliminary remedies have
long since been exhausted, and We may be put
to the alternative, in a few days more, Of base
submission, or the maintenance of this right and
the performance of this duty. The right, no
well-informed man, free from the prejudices of
education and the influences OF bad ambition,
will ever deny-and the duty, when freedom
and equality call for its performance, no friend
OF the South can ever decline. Hsecessior brings
on conflict of arms, let 1t come! In that day
there will be many Kossuth in the field, ami
mating to noble Southron to
"Strike till the last armed foe expiresl"
1t is my ardent desire that your deliberations
may be characterised by the camness and deli
beration which becomes so solemn and 80 i'm
portant an occasion. Every one who attends it
should awaken his affection for the Union, but
be firm in his resolve to break it into fragments,
sooner than submit to worse than Eastern op-
pres ,ion.
