THE NASHVILLE CONVENTION
AND THE FUTURE.

There is but little doubt, we think, that
the Nashville Convention will lay down a
platform upon which the South can rally.
We do not suppose that entire unanimity
will prevail; but the great mass of the
South will adhere to the platform. We will
make the issue in Mississippi at once. We
shall support the Southern platform with all
our zeal and we have sufficient confidence
In the integrity of the delegates of the con.
vention to predict that the people of Missis.
sippl will sustain it by an overwhelming ma
Jority.
The first thing to be done will be, to hold
public meetings over our State, and give
expression to the opinions of the Masses
In every instance, the friends of the plat.
form should organize a county club and
appoint suitable officers to correspond with
each county in the State.
II the States of South Carolina, Georgia
Alabama and Mississippi alone stand up to
the platform, we can resist successfully the
encroa chments of the North; for should
these States be compelled to secede from
the Union, it would be impossible for the
North to attempt to~force us to submission
by sending a northern army into our coun.
try. 1t could never pass through a South
ern State. Our sister States would rise nm
to our defence the moment it should be at.
tempted.
In our public meetings we must agree to
refuse to ship a bale of Gotten to a New Or.
leans merchant, or TO buy of him a box of
goods, when such merchant is known to be
opposed to the Southern platform. We can
thus force the Yankees Of New Orleans to
stand up to. southern rights. and save Louis.
lana from the depIorable influence of free.
soilism in that city.
We must seek to connect our Mississippi
valley with the southern ports of Savannah
and Charleston, Our railroads should be
prosecuted with increased vigor.
We must organize volunteer military
companies In sustaining our rights with
honor to ourselves and to Posterity, we must

The CRops.-Great complaints are being
made of the cotton crop in all sections of om
country. There can hardly be dispute as to
the shortness of the coming crop. The re-

the late coming cold and wet spring will b
