SOUTHERN MEETING.--A meeting of the citi-
zens of Henry County, is earnestly solicited
to take place at the Courthouse, on Monday
the 9TH of October next at four o'clock P. NJ,
fort e purpose of urging upon the Governor OF
our State, the necessity of calling State con-
vention, for the purpose Of determining whether
We ought longer to submit to Northern aggres-
sion, or demand at once, arecogntion OF thos,
rights that we have so often asserted were guar
anteed to us by the CONSTITUTION, which is alone
the bond of Union,--and further, to take into
consideration, whether we will submit to have
that Constitution almost daily violated and
trampled under foot by n reckless majority.
We hope and believe that a full meeting OF
the incorruptabe citizens of Henry will be in
attendance, "nnawed" by threats of the "Army
and Navy "unterrifed" by hints of Northern
Regiments to scatter destruction in our midst
blows can be given as well rs taken.
Distinguished speakers may be expected te
be in attendance.

ABOLITION CONVENTION AT OsWEGo.-This
Convention assembled on Wednesday last, and
was called to order by Samuel Ward, (colored,) }
and Samuel Wells, (white,) was made Chair
man, with sundry Secretaries of both com
plexions.
A DIR. Jackson (wlitc) addressed the Con-
vention in regard to Chaplin the slave. stealer.
He called Hon. Mr. Duer Nj. c., and Senator
Dickinson, doug!l-iaces, and other names, while
he eulogized Seward, rs "one Of Gods best
subjects
The nomination OF Chaplin for President was
received with applause. This was hardly fair
since Seward will need their support in 1852.
Resolutions were passed, Of which the follow
ing is one:
Resoleed, That the members of Congress who
voted for this accursed law, the fugitive law,
and those of them who would have voted for i
had they been present, and the President who
signed it, and the churches and political parties
who refused to denounce it, are all to be helt
rs the enemies of God and man, and as not les,
g uilty of piracy than the bloody slaveholde
40 whose benefit the law was enacted
Mr.. Ward (black) spoke, denouncing Fillmore
for not vetoing the slave Fugitive bill, forget
ting that the Wings have denounced all vetoes
in times past he blackguarded the churches fol-
their negro pews, and threatened to resist if ar.
rested AS fugitive.
Mr.. Gerrtt Smith followed in the same strain
lie was ready to do his duty, even though he
should be imprisoned for harboring runaways
He seemed, indeed, quite anxioas to become 4
martyr
One Samuel May wrote a letter, which was
read, in which he spoke of Seward as being
"nearer the negro platform than any Other
Wing" The Convention Will endorse Seward
in very strong language.

PROCL AM ALTON
BY JOHN ANTHONY QUirMAN, coy.nNoR OF III

"a ''hs hN'hosf HUFFMAN, GOVERNOR OF THE
STATE or MISSISSIPPI
Whereas The people of Mississippi have re-
peatedly, IN public meetings, in popular coavel-
ions, and legislative resolves, claimed and as
serted their equality of right with the other
States OF this Union, in and to the free use
and enjoyment of the territory belonging in
common to these United States and have fre.
qucntly and publicly declared their fixed deter
mination, at all hazards TO maintain these rights
so essential to their freedom and equality
And aohereas, BY recent acts Of Congress, the
people of Mississippi, in common with the cit
izens Of all the slaveholding States, haye been
virtually excluded from their just rights, in the
greater portion if not all, Of the vast aud rich
territories acquired from Mexico ia the late war;
and thus, by unjust and insulting discrimina-
ions, the advantages and benefits of the FEEDER
al Union, have been denied TO them.
And ,chereas, The abolition, by Congress, of
the slave trade in the District of Columbia, nnd
other acts Of the Federal Government, done and
threatened, leave no reasonable hope that the
iggressions upon the rights of tle people of
the slayehoding States will cease, until, by di-
.ect or indirect means, their dUme ,tic institu-
| tons are overthrown:
Now, therefore, that the proper authorities of
the Stae may be enabled to take into e, n /
ration the alarming state of our public affirs,
and, if possible, avert the evils which npend
over us: that the State may be placed in an at
titude TO assert her sovereignty, and that the
means may be provided TO meet any and every
emergency which may happen:
|, John A. Quitman, Governor of the State of
Mississippi exercising the powers il me vested
by the Constitution, do hereby convene t. Leg
islature of this State and do appoint Monday,
the eighteenth day of November next, for the
meeting of both Houses of the Legislature at
the Capitol in Jackson, the seat Of government
Of this State.
In testimony whereof, have hereunto set my
hand and caused the great seal of the State
to be affixed, at the city Of Jackson, the goth
of September A. d. $780, and Of the sover-
eighty of Mississippi, the thirty fourth.

From the Charleston .Mereuyu.

The Mobile Tribune quotes one Of the brief
and f.rvid articles of the Columbia (Ga) Times.
and in some comments on it, lets fall the follow
Ing remarks:
"In South Carolina everything seems quiet
We observe few expressions Of indignation in
the papers: few in n!ications that anything new
or offensive to its people has occurred, either il
Congress or out of it. What this singular state
of apparent apathy means, is more than we car
tell. 1t may be the omiDous calm which pre-.
cedcs and ushers in the storm"
Perhaps we ought not to be surprised that the
superficial quietude Of South Carolina should
be taken for apathy, at distance But the Tri-
bune should remember that our people are all
of one mind on The great point of Southern
rights. OF the new spapers of the State, we re-
collect but one that has not maintained the ne
cessity of resisting the fastening Of Northern
supremacy upon u.s. The whole matter has
been so discussed and sfted, and we have ar
rived with such unaniinity to the same general
conclusions, that we are weary of further treat
ing it as a matter either of exposition or Of ex-
hortation. We need no argument--we under
stand it. We need no rnrassoned appeals--we
are ready to act. Here is the whole secret Of
the quietude of South Carolina.
But in quiet way, some practical steps have
been taken In nearly all the Districts, South
ern Rights Associations have already been
formed, and these Associations will soon contain
an enrolment and organization of the whole peo-
pie of the State. The Tribune will also see
in this mornings Mercury the pledge signed by
the planters Of Prince Williams parish, which
was an exceedingly practical significance. 1t
follows like move of st. Helena parish and
we are glad to state in this connection, that the
planters Of Georgetown, the richest Rice district
of the State have already acted upon IL similar
agreement, and deserve The credit of taking the
lead in the movement to banisb Northern vessels
from our coasting trade.
