por, that Isee no returning sense of JUS
tice in the North. They should appoint
their delegates to the Nashville Conven-
ton; let them assemble there and dclib-
crate upon the grave issues which aboli-
ton has presented-let them concentrate
the sentiment of the South, and lay such
plans as to defeat the ends Of abolitionsts.
Every Southern State should be fully
represented there by her ablest Con-
stituton loving sons. That convention,
sir will meet, although it is probable that
the confident expectation of q cop,pro-
mise will prevent its beiEg as numerously
attended as it would have been some
months back, the people believing that
the necessity of its conyening has passed
away. fear, sir, they have been delu-
dcd in the hope of compromise, SO indus
triously instillcd into their minds for the
purpose of defeating uhe Nashville Con-
yention. That effort has bscn partially
successful; but the convention will never
thcless assemble, and the South will not
readily forget those by whom they have
been deceived Sir, it has been fashion
able to denounce that convention, and to
disparage the purposes of those who call
ed 1T. For one, am not ashamed Of that
convention nothing could make me
ashamed of it, but the failure of the
South, or of those with whom my honor
is more Immediately bound up, to at
tend it, The ends of that convention
were high and holy; il was called to pro-
tect the Constitution, to save the Union,
by taking such steps as might prevent, if
possible, the consummation of measures
whichwould probably lead to the de-
struction of both. Had the purpose been
disunion, those who called that conyen-
ton would have waited until the iretrie-
vable step had been taken, and nothing
left to the South but submission or seces-
son The present isa critical juncture
of political affairs; there's propriety,
nay necessity for Southern men TO COM

that harmony may mark their delibera-

beenaverted. Thinking as do, / am deci-

doubt the propriety of deciding the ques-
ton whether it should be re.chartered or
not at this time. Should the South be
bound, as l think it probable she will be,
to take her defence into her own hands,
we may need all the aid and credit which
the banking system of the State will be
aGlc to afford, in the undisiurbed possess
sion of their means, and the unahated con
fidence of the public in them. How the
question can best be kept out of the cam

could do much towardsit, by showing
how adverse the agitation woul be to

might pass resolutions condemnatory OF

THE SsrATE VS.. O.. j. BuLLocH.-
interesting question in connection with
this case, was discussed yesterday after
noon before his Honor Judge Jackson,
The question arose on an objection by de-
fendant's counsel to the array of the
Grand Jury. They contended that stock
holders Of the Central Railroad and Bank
ing Company were disqualified aropter
99ectum from acting upon the case as
members of tile Grand Jury, and that the
same objection applied to every citizen of
Savannah, inasmuch as the city in its mu-
nioipal capacity was a stOckholder in the
Company.
1t was replied, that the objection might
be good in a civil, but not in criminal
case, where the State, and not the Bank.
was the party prosecuting, and further,
that ifths positions Of the defendants
were right. then the State of Georgia,
being stoekholder in the State Bank.
could not prosecute any mau who robbed
it, because every citizen in the State
would be interested in the case. 1t was
further answered by the counsel for tho
prosecution, that no case on the criminal
side of the Court, punished by fine, could
be tried, if the objection was sustained,
inasmuch as the people of the country
where the offence was committed would
be interested to the extent of the fino de,
nounced by the law.
The decision of his honor has not yet
been made. Whatever it may be, it is
probable the case will be carried up to
the Supreme Court.
