Judge sharkey, of Mississippi, addressed them in
favor oil the amendments proposed, stating that un-
less they were adopted he would be compelled to

Last days Proceedings.

The convention yesterday opened with prayer
by the Rev. j. h. McFerran.
The secretary proceeded TO call the States, when
Mr. Dawson, OF Georgia. offered resolution, advis-
ing the formation Of all parties IN the South into
new party, 10 be called the 90 Southern Republican
Party" and adopting az its motto, "The Union OF
the South for the sake of the Union" MIR. Daw-
son said he desired the resolution should be acted
upon without being referred to the general com
mittee.
Mr.. Rhett objected and Mr.. Dawson thereupon
Withdrew his resolution.
MIR. Matthews, of Mississippi presented an adj
dress to the people Of the non slaveholdng States
which, without being read, was laid upon the
table
Mr. Foreman, of Florida offered a resolution,
proposing TO take vote at 10 o'clock, to-day, on
the adoption OF the address reported by the general
committee.
The resolution was declared out of order
The address and amendments coming up in or
der, MIR. Tucker, OF Virginia, rose 10 address the
convention, hoping TO be able TO quell the excite
ment; he could not hope, with his manner and
voice, win plsudits from the gallery, but he
would speak became his years-words Of truth
and soberness. He said he desired ~ respond 20 a
question asked by Mr.. Gholson, last evening, whc.
Their, IL the Compromise bill before Congress should
be amended and passed, he would go for dissolu-
ton Of the Unionf n he was allowed to amend the
Compromise bill, he would not go for dissolution.
He would amend il TO suit himself
Had the question been put to him. to whether
he would go for dissolution, II the Compromise
bill should be passed without amendment, then he
could not have answered. That was what brought
them here. II was because the South saw dangers
ahead that the convention had assembled to devise
means to avoid them. He passed on and alluded
TO the position Of Virginia, who had taken her
stand, and said that she would resist the Wilmot
proviso to the last extremity. In relation to the
address, he said, il he had access 10 the of the
gentleman from Mississippi, who proposed amend
ments, he would have persuaded him not 10 offer
them; but he was for harmony and if the amend-
ments would produce harmony, he would vote for
them. II the address, without the amendments,
would promote harmony, he would vote for that
would vote for any thing 10 secure that object.
Hc spoke Of Daniel webster's assertion, that the
Union could not be dissolved without bloodshed. as
a rawhead and bloody bones in connexion with this
subject. He referred TO the present union-between
Clay Cass, and Webster; declaring that when
such men unite, il was time for the people 10 be-
ware as there is mischief brewing. He reviewed
the character Of each Of these gentlemen in turn in
most sarcastic vein--each Of them, he avowed,
was for himself, and the devil take the hindmost.
He discussed the question Of disunion, and showed
that II the event should come TO pass, the South
could sustain itself
After he had concluded, Mr.. Wilkinson sd-
dressed the convention.

SOMETHING WORTH KNowiNo.--It has
been ascertained that small piece OF
rosin, dipped in vessel of warm water
on the stove, will impart to the atmos-
phere peculiarly pleasant and ag eea-
able odor, exceedingly beneficial to per-
sons who are afflicted with coughs and
colds, as it gives them speedy relief, or
at least eases the severity OF their coughs.
The heat Of the water throws off the ar
oma Of the rosin, and supplies the same
desideratum as that afforded by COM
bustion Of the rosin. We are strongly
of the opinion that this method will be
preferable to the combustion, because
the evaporation is more durable. The
same rosin may be used for number
weeks.

The present day, the Pope, Bishops and
Priests Of the Church OF Rome are ss
free from corruption, as the Bishops and
Clergymen Of an3 other denomination.
Mr. Lords leature was admirably
written his style is pure and correct,
and he expresses his thoughts with
great cleaners and force. II evinced
thorough research, and very intimate
knowledge ofancient history. His man
ner is enthusiastic, and his feelings are
entirely absorbed in his subject. 1t was
one Of the ablest lectures ever delivered
in Newport.
We differ from him. very materially,
in his views of the vows Of Poverty,
Celibacy and Obedience, as established
in the Church Of Rome we think that
these features, nt least, in the Clerical
organization of the Church are sound
and correct, and should be rigidly ad-
hered to. If Christ did not openly as
sulne these vows TO the world, He most
certainly practised them rigidly during
His solourn on earth. 1t is unjust 10
denounce the Church Of Rome, because
some OF her members, high even in pow
er, have proved themselves unfhthful
on the same grounds might Christs
Church, which existed while He was
on earth, be denounced, because one Of
His chosen APOSTLES denied Him, and
another betrayed Him. Although they
were recreant to their high and holy
duties, yet that did not effect Christ's
Church. Man may be corrupt, but
Truth is immaculate.
Bellevue Tfaif is admirably adapted
for these lectures, as IT will seat about
500 comfortabIy,-and the Hall is SO
well constructed that the Speaker can
be heard distinctly in all parts of it.

it comparatively feeble and hnguishing.
Since that period he has entirely re-

restored it TO its ''most high and palmy

A QUESTION ANswERED.-Maj. Noah,
a learned lsraelite, is thus interrogated.
"The second coming Of Christ is be-
lieved by large portion Of Christians.
Would the Jews believe in his spiritual
and temporal Messiahship if he should
again appear on earth 2"
The Major, in his paper, the Sunday
Times, thus answers:
"He would, we think. be less wei
come to the Christians than to the
Jews. He could not, we think, recog-
nize tho reformed religion which is car
ried out in his name. He who preach
ed against pride ostentation, and arro-
gance-whO was the friend Of the poor
and rebuked the rich and worldly-mind-
ed-who preached ''peacc on earth and
good will to men"-who ordained obe-
dience to the laws and submissions to
ruers-would not brook the desecration
ofthe Christian pulpit. occupied by some
men who endeavor to stir mp rebellion
and division among the people-who
falsely quote the scriptures to carry out
their fanaticism on slavery-who open
ly defy the laws, and wickediy recon
mend opposition to them-who are SOW
ing division and misery throughout the
land. He would say, II had trouble
with the Scribes and Pharisees who
were my own people-thcy did not re.
cognize my mission; but here are my
followers--as they represent themselves
to bc---who ought in my name to car.
ry out my principles, but who do not
who consider that there are Many OF my
orders, directions and doctrines which
they can not carry out, alleging that
they do not conform to the spirit ofthe
agew He would find his own people
as he left them two thousand years ago,
with one faith and one God; but the
church which he established he would
find divided into numerous sects, one ar
rayed against the other, preaching all
kinds o doctrines, and understanding
better what he meant to establish than
he did himself The question is not
"How would the Jews receive him 2"
but g How would he be received by
those protesting to be Christians z" This
is MT the age for such visitation.

The prospectus Of the new volume Of
this beautiful and altogether unique fam
lily newspaper has been published for
some days past, and we now take the
pleasure of editorially calling the atten-
ton Of the public to it, far and near.
In everything that can distinguish fan
cy from hummery, genius from medioc-
rity, and sparkling originality from in
ane twaddle, the Home Journal is as far
superior to the great body of the Amer
ican weekly press as the stars are above
the city lamps. The exquisite. versa
tile and inexhaustible genius of N. p.
Willis, and the perfect taste, sound ex-
Perience, and admirable judgment Of
George p. Morris, are exclusively devo.
ted to enriching the pages Of the Home
Journal, while they have naturally
drawn around them brilliant group of
contributors, both men and women, to

opening unworked literary piacers, bring

and then passing on to oihers--leaving

washing for crumbs, to- those who come
after.
We need not refer especially TO the

trust. everybody will read. After that,
