Forty Associations are represented. All dele
gates present. The president on taking the
chair calmly and temporarily reviewed the po-
sition of affairs considered that Southern in
stitutions, under existing circumstances, could
not last 30 years. He alluded forcibly to the
disregard OF the blood and treasure expended by
the South, in excluding it from territories, and
said:
When dangers thus reach our very doors it is
time to arm. It is futile to hope that the Constitu
ton, based upon such Legislation, can survive
Concession can yield nothing to its support The
deliberation Of the Convention should be con-
fided to where, when, and how, resistance should
be made. lie confessed it should not be re-
sorted to rashIy. He, however, would not dis
cuss that, rs he would not bass them He
loved the Union. There could not be an anna
tour disunioniSt amongst them. He advocated
union amongst ourselves. If any are forming
in our rear, let as await their approach; if in our
van, let us march up 10 them. II has been said
they whom God and nature joined together, let
not man put asunder: but the reverse may be
applied to those whom God and nature have put
asunder, let no one join together. He ar
gued at length, the want of affinity between the
two sections advised earnest and temperate de-
liberation. Adjourned
Tomorrow will settle the question of nullf-
cation.
