The SOUTHERN CoNvENTIoN.-Wha hat VIII the
Southern Convention upon its reassembling do ?
We are not prepared to say, nor do we feel like
presunng upon advice But if Sc 30 to the Pa
cfc, was before laid down an uLimatum, we
suppose they will recommend still cantending for
that--in what way we are to contend we are per-
fectly willing to leave to them. We hope how
ever to see good attendance, and that they will
be quite as determined as before, arousing atten-
ton to the enormiy of the iniquity snned in the
passage of the recent acts.
So far rs legislation goes we are whipped,
shamefully scourged; lying fiat on our>backs, we
are merely resting spell from our stripes. Num-
bers are cougratulating themselves upon peace,
upon the fact that the lash is laid by for a while,
and calling upon craven spirits like their own to
rejoice the temporary cessation of hostiities.
Like corards we ought to be Joyous and glad that
we have respite from the threshing the North
has been giving us. Let us be cool, say they, let
us not defend ourselves, but let us be obedlent III
the household of the Union, and if we do get
threshed occasonallyit it makes us feel good when
it stops.
The advice of the traitorous towards at the
South, who pirate about peace and Union, remind
us of the advice our sage grandmother used to
give us: &c IL is better" she said "to run IKE n
man than to stand and be whipped like dog
What. said we if one gets insuIted. "Oh it's bet
ter'' saws she " to take an insult like a man than
to get Yourself into a difficulty" just the way
with the submissonists: they think II manly To
take all the insult and wrong the North may be
disposed to heap uron as.
The Southern Convention we wish to do some
thing that will unite at least the true Southernors,
and teach traitors at home and enemies abroad,
that we shall no longer be trodden upon with i'm
punity.

Ma BERRIEs's LErrER-Judge Warner, in a
letter recently published, says as follows:
"The view which | take on this subject, is to
let the people of California regulate this question
Of slavery for themselves without any Legislative
interference by Congress" And the strongest
argument which the Judge uses in favor OF this
doctrine of non-interrenion is, that "lf Congress
have the right, ard jurisdiction to establish, or re-
oogni-e slavery south OF that line l5o'5o the same
right and jurisdiction exist to abolish IT.
We refer by way Of complete answer to thls
position whenever and by whomever taken, to
Mr. Rerrien, . letter of August 81. We should
like to have Judge Warner decide whether re-
co0nifiou by Congress Of the freedom of the press,
or of the right of trial by jury, would imply the
/ existance ofa right to abolish either or both'-
| TIRE reasoning of Mr.. Berrien in establishing the

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL SEA M SH IP
CONPANY-TyROUG PASSAGE TO

THE public will be gratified 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 theil
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then desirous to go out, to sell tickets tor
through passages from Panama in advance, fol
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
ence Of fever at Rio de Janeiro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soor
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18th
mus, which was increased by the impatience o.
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 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. HUpsoN.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHCocK. ..
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK.
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.

to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO. Capt. SCHENcK, u. 5. N.
FALCON, Capt. HARrsTEM, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will b'
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no 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 Chagre!
Line, and the speed and accommodations of thu
ships of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California
