The Southern Rights Convention.

The convention of Southern Rights Assoea-
tons concluded its labors yesterday, with the
adoption of the resolutions and address of the
committee of twenty.one. The test vote was
on substituting the report of the minority Of
the committee. twill be observed that the Two
are not antagonistic, but only different modi6ca-
tons of the same idea of resistance to wrongs.
The motion to substitute received bat a small
support; and that being disposed of, the reso-
lutions and address were adopted almost unani-
moasly The importance of this action, and the
degree of unanimity that sus aimed it, cannot
well be over-estimated. The convention was
composed of nelr five hundred delegates-the
picked men Of every part of the State. Bound
by no law but their own strong sense OF what
was due to themselves and the cause they main
timed, they passed through the ordeal of four
days earnest discussion, without an instant of
unseemly disorder, without the smallest appear
ance of wavering in the strength of their con
victions, and without symptom of impotence
at the expression, elaborate, eloquent, and ear.
nest, of opinions at variance with those of the
well known majority of the meeting.
We have been deeply impressed with this
dignity of bearing Of the convention, from the
first day of its session. Ii struck all spectators;
it was emphatically commended by the presi-
dent, in his concluding address in reply to the
resolution of thanks to himself, so cordially
adopted and so richly deserved. In every as
pect, theretore,--in the generality of the repre-
sentation of the State by this body; in the
largeness of its numbers; in the quality of the
men in the full and luminous discussion which
the subjects of its elaboration underwent; in
the high and patriotic tone that characterized
equally the minority and the majority, and in
the near approach TO unanimity in the final de-
cision, the session of this convention is an i'm
posing event, and its action must go forth as a
formidable influence, not only over South Caro-
lima but over the whole South. That influence,
we need not say, tends directly to secession, as
the remedy to b. eventually adopted by the State
convention, and We as little need to say, that
this is our remedy, and the only one in which
We have any firm faith.
We cannot close our notice of the convention
Without more particular reference to tie dis
tlnguished gentleman who presided over its d.
l.berations. The choice of Gov Richardson for
that office, was in all respects most fortunate
He showed perfect knowledge of all its practi-
cal duties; was always self-possessed, quiet and
firm in the exercise of authority, and never fail
ing either in dignity or in courtesy. Never did
presiding officer better merit the compliment OF
a vote of thanks, and the resolution no more
than expressed the honest feeling of every mem
Der of the body.

RAILROAD TO THE PAc TIc--A letter appears
in Galveston paper, written by the Hon. V. F..
Howard, member of Congress from Texas, ac-
companied by communication from Colonel
Albert, Of the United States Typographical en-.
gneers, in which il is stated that railroad from
the Mississippi to the Rio Grande, crossing the
head of navigation of all the principal rivers Of
Texas, and passing thence to the Pacific, could
be made for the small cost Of eighty-fye mil
lions Of dollars. This is calculated at the rate
Of $4,000 per mile TO the Rio Grande, and
100000 per mile from that int Of the road to
the Paciic-the entire distance being about :.
700 miles.
Mr. Howard is Of opinion that The project
Of Mr.. Whitney will receive the sanction of
Congress at its next session, including South.
ern branch through Texas. Without such bran, h
as condition, he says the measure cannot pass.
Texas, IN his estimation, can control that part OF
the question by consenting or refusing to give
the MD Of her own public domain on the terms
asked by Mr.. Whitney
