The cool way in which the triumphant Sew

the happy issue of their deliberations, must be

strained point TO preserve the unity of the

The Erening journal, before the ultimatum

sInstead of weakening the Whig party, or
lessening its chances of success, the detection
of certain Delegates, upon totally insufficient
grounds, mparts ritality and strength to the con-
test, and inspires freshness and confidence in The

Height Of Impertinence.

1t will be seen from the following extract
from the London AdenGum that those encroach-
ing Britons want to steal our countryman,
WASHINGTON IRVING, from us. He is no alien,
it is true, wherever the English language is
spoken or read, nor is his friend PAULDING--but
we can't afford to give up either.
Murray vs.. Bohn and Rutledge, has advanced
one stage in the court of Cbancery. Vicc-Chan-
celler Bruce, on Thursday last, ordered that
both Mr. Bohn and Mr.. Rutledge slnll keep ac-
counts of what they sell of Mr.. Irvings works,
pending the removal of the cause to another
court, and without prejudice. 'The point in
dispute he Observed was, beyond all doubt, a
very important one, and one which some day
must reach the House of Lords;" adding, as
appears BY the reports in the daily papers, that
ii was impossible to say that the questions
which the case involved were settled" The
defence will rest in part on the plea that Mr.
Washington Irving is an alien, and on the au-
thority of the case decided in the Court Of Ey-
chequer by Sir Frederick Pollock. The claim
to the injunction will rest in part, it is said, on
the plea that Mr.. Eping Is moi an alien; that
his father was native of the Orkneys, and his
mother native of Falmouth, and that though
he himself was born in New York, he is the son
of British born subjects, and therefore no alien.

BRIEFLY AND WELL SAID--The Savannah
Morning News, though neutral in politics, that
is to say, though taking neither side in the party
sauabbles between Wings and Democrats, is
neither silent or luke-warm on the great ques-
ton of Southern rights
The following true and pithy remark is con-
tained in It's issue of the 18th inst.
sThe recent unconditional surrender of the
public demain to Free-soil by Congress, is moi
regarded by the majority Of the Southern pco-
pie, as an honorable and satisfactory adjustment
of our sectional difficulties and few are found
in Georgia who are willing to echo the notes Of
Northern rejoicing over the consummatiou OF
their triumph

THE ISSUE MADE-The contest in electing
Delegates to the Conyention will be between
sUBMssIoNIsTs, and THE DEFENDERS OF SOUTH
ERN RIGHTS, which is but another name for
State rights. The South through the Nashville
Convention, rendered the Missouri Compromise
line to the North The offer has been spurned
with contempt. Nothing less than the whole
territory will satisfy Northern fanaticism and
cupidity and nothing short of abolition will quiet
the Northern conscience. Let the issue stand
then, as it really is, against submission to re-
peated aggressions-against further surrender
of known and avowed rights Cherokee (Ga.)

that this would prove an average crop year in

ton we can get, we believe that our planters
have come to a different conclusion, and now
bewail their present prospects. The last drought,
we had, happened just at the right time to pro-
duce the most disastrous effects, which is seen
in the universal shedding Of forms and bowls

American ports, is traced to the great curve which
sweeps by Cape Clear, in Ireland, and Cape Race,
in Newfoundland, and thence down the coast to
the various ports alluded to. The distance to
Cape Race, which is common one to all ports,
measured carefully on globe, in round numbers
is 36 degrees, or $50 marine miles. from Cape
Race TO the different ports-or, more strictly, to
the entrances, the sea-coast, Of the several har
bors-the distances are as follows, viz: To Hall

The CALIFoRNIA FRAup.-We make the follow
ing extract from strong article with the above
capton) Of the Southern Herald merely to show
it's spirit The Southern Herald as we have once
before informed our readers is the new name Of
the paper published in Athens Ga, formerly called
the Southern Wing. 1t is doing good service in
the great cause of the South and we hope will meet
with extensive patronage among its friends
Yes, after all the efforts of the South to have
even-handed Justice meted out to her-after all her
remonstrances and offers of compromise and con-
ciliation:--her rights have been violated, and by
the action Of the Congress of the Unitod States,
she is excluded now and forever, from the rich
and extensive domain, known as the STATE of Cali
fornia; and that too, BY the rotes Of JH third Of
the men ,cho pretended TO be Southern representatives
The dearest guaranteed rights of the South.hnre been
,oresed from her, by the aid of some Of her orn degsn
crate sous"
''We are, or have been, a ssterhood of States,
banded together for the purpose of perpetuating
the blessings of civil and religious liberty, and for
our mutual safety and benefit. But we are to be
so no longer. A despotism has been set up, un-
der the guse of constitutional majority, and
that despotism is to rule guided by ,chai Il consd-
ers right regardless of all constitutional obligations
and guarantees. Already since the adoption of the
California fraud, has the spirit of fanaticIsm waxed
men bold, and recent intelligence from Congress,
as may be seen from columns to-day, shows
that it has but commenced it's aggressions upon
Southern rights and nstltutions-already has Sep-
ard offered bill in the Senate for the abolition et
starery 60 insfanH, in the District Of Columbia, and
his coadutor Chase has introduced bill to apply the
Wilmof Proriso 10 all territory belonging to the United
States. The end of it no man can foresee. Sub
mission to this act of violence will undoubtedly
result in the complete degradation and overthrow
of the Southern States Of this confederscy.

gie--now hold their destinies within their own
power. Georgia will be called upon to act soon.
