7 THE DELEGATES TO NAsHvILLE.-We have
been prevented from giving our views as to the
proper course, for delegates from this State to
the Nashville Convention to pursue, but we will
now take occasion to make one suggestion to
them, and that is, that they go! It is true that
Alabama has not clothed her delegates with as
full power as some other States, but as it is not
expected the Convention will assume any other
powers than that of an advisory character we
cannot see that any delegate can hesitate to 90
on the ground of not having sufficient power to
act We feel confident that there will be no
necessity of clothing delegates to that body
under present circumstances, with new power
1T is calculated that the Convention, at its next
sitting, will concentrate Southern opinion, and
recommend such course of action to the sew
eral States, as may, in the Judgment OF the Con-
vention be thought best. s.
s We desire that every delegate from this State
should attend. Let the various opinions enter
tained by the delegates be convened, and if it is
thought best by that body for the Southern
States to make some move in favor of sustaining
Southern rights, let that plan, whatever it may
be, in recommendatory character, which in our
opinion will be calculated to concentrate the
Southern mind. Ii it should be thinly attended
it will be carrying out the prediction of the
enemies of the South, before the recent measures
were enacted by Congress. We shall alude to
this subject more fully next week, when we will
have time and room to do so. ...

SENATOR MAsoN.--We should like to know,
if there is in this broad Commonwealth, Wing
so mean, or a Democrat so base, who desires to
oppose the reelection of this faithful and able
senator. A representative, whose only crime
consists, in obeying to the letter, the injunctions
passed so unanimously by two consecutive SEES
sions Of our State Legislature. Throughout his
senatorial career he has acted in full conformity
to the wishes of the great majority of his consti-
tuents which have been repeatedly expressed in
the form oflegislative instructions. To victimise
him now would only afford an add tonal tri-
umph to our Northern oppressors, and seal the
degradation of Virginia. @a. ''@' s'> n&a.}1'
We learn that Mr. Robert E. Scott, the gen.
tleman who was so sgnally rebuked by his con-
stituents for his course upon the resolutions de-
fining the position of this State upon the slave
ry question, at the session of 48, is endeavoring
to array the Wing members of the Legislature
in hostility to Mr.. Mason. With no prospect of
electing Wing to the Senate, he is trying to
rally his party in support OF some Democrat
whose fealty to the South is somewhat am
bigious. The names of Gov. Mcdowell and
Judge Bayly, of the Accomac District, are men
toned in this connection. We shall see wheth-
er the last named gentleman will lend himselfto
such an unholy coalition. We do not think he
can find it in his heart to do so; if he does, we
shall hereafter cease to have any confidence in
the consistency or integrity of politicians.

Has THE SoUTH BEEN CHEATED ?-The suE.
mission leaders tell the people of Georgia that
the South has great reason to Rejoice at the
action OF Congress on the slavery question:
that the South has gained a great victory. and
that Southern Rights have not, for thirty wears,
been as secure as they are now. What is the
impression Of candid minds in the North on this
subject? When we find influential Northern
journals acknowledging that ahe North has
cheated the Soath," it should cause Southern
men to doubt whether they have anything to
rejoice over, and nothing to excite their indigna-
ton. The New York Herald says: Il. so.a
/" The North cheated the South in the admis-
sion Of California. The North were convinced
OF it--they felt ashamed of it, and alarmed about
it; and they endeayored to make up in their own
reimbursement, in the passage of the Fugitive
Dill, the atonement for their greediness in seizing
the whole of the gold region. In one wofd, ac-
cording to the Northern idea of the Fugitive
bill, and the Southern idea of CALIFORNIA; adj
mission, the North attempted to atone for an
act OF fraud by an act of disgrace. They first
drive the South to the wall, and out of Cali
fornia entirely, and then bow down in the most
abject humiliation to offer the impractible in
demnity of the Fugitive bill. Z
1t California had been honestly divided, the
South would have been appeased; but this Fugi-
tive law while tafords no security to the South,
no indemnity for their exclusion from California,
only exasperates the Abotionists to drive the
South to revolt. The adjustment is tending in
that direction" .#1 a- a.Aae p

FLORIDA INDIANs.-We stated some days ago
that an expedition would leave Benton, Marion
and Hisborough counties, Florida, in search of
boy supposed to have been stolen by the
Indians. We learn from the Ocala Argus that
the expedition, consisting of about seventy men,
left on the 10th inst, and that in addition to the
recovery of the boy, its objects was to take pos
session of anlndian village. The Argus adds
This village is situated at the head of the
Little Withlacoochee, over 100 miles from the
Indian boundary. 1t was discovered by party
in September last, contains over nine houses,
and is surrounded by extensive corn and pea
fields One crop has been gathered and new
one was in the ground. The party who dis
covered them were too small to attack; they
suppose the village to contain 40 or so souls.
There is no doubt but that these Indians are the
same who either murdered or carried off the boy,
as at the time of his missing they were trailed
to the vicinity of their present abode. We anxi-
ously await the result of this movement

DELEGATES TO THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION
The Chairmen of the meeting held at this
place on the 9th of August last, in pursuance OF
the authority with which that meeting clothed
them, have appointed Gen. J. d. Bradford and
William H. Fitzpatrick, esq, to represent this
county in the next meeting of the Nashville
Convention. Both of these gentlemen were in
the committee which reported the resolutions
at the meeting alluded to, and both, i, is under,
stood, are in favor of resistance to the recent
acts of Congress, denying to the South equal
rights and privileges with the abolition States.
Gen. Bradford, we are pleased to learn, intends
to address the people in the various parts of the
county. The professional engagements of Mr..
Fitzpatrick will not, probably, allow him to pur.
sue this course. Should such prove to be the
case, his views on the Southern question will be
fully made known in another way .aasat.
