"tancy sketch" We are in receipt of
the Cherokee Advocate, of the 10th inst
published at Marietta, Georgia, in which it
is stated that all the delegates from that
State except three have accepted their
posts. and will be in attendance on the
Convention. The Governor will supply
the vacancies, if the remaining three,
should fail to accept.
SLAVERY AGITATIoN.-lt is known
that the SubmisSionistS in the South
have, all the while, contended that
there iSno danger from the abolition.
ISIS at the North-that the great mass
of the Northern people give no coun.
tenance to the slavery agitation, and
that all Southern men have to do, is
to fold their arms in bIissful security,
making no efforts to maintain rights
which they say are already sufficient
ly secure. We have culled the fol-
lowing from one days proceedings in
the United States Senate, for the pur.
posed of showing the real condition of
public sentiment in the Northern
States, with reference 10 the continu>
ance Of slavery in the District, Terri
tories, and States. Will not the
Southern States take counsel for their
safety? Is not slavery in danger? Can
any man in his senses shut his eyes
upon pTOofIike the following, that the
deliberate public feeling Of our Nor
thern neighbors is directly adverse TO
slavery? This being conceded, how
can any southern man whose heart is
with the South on this vital question,
cry "peace peace when there is no
peace" except such as may be extor-
ted by the nnitel and determined ar
ton of the Southern States:
