Gen. John Gray Bynum has issued prospectus
for the establishment Of newspaper at Rutherford
ton in the Western part of this State, to be known
under the title of The peoples Advocate and Con-
stitutional Reformer, " and be devoted to the adj
vocacy of an unrestricted Convention. Mr.. Bynum
is one of the thirty-seven Western members of the
late Legislature who at the close of its session. is
sued address the people of the State, upon the
subject of Constitutional reform, in which the white
basis of representation in the Senate instead of the
present one of taxation was most warmly advocated.
Upon this address we have heretofore commented,
and have endeavored to convince readers of the
great injustice and wrong which would be inflicted
upon the East by the proposed change Now there
be no doubt that this change is the grand and almost
exclusive object of those who advocate unlimited
Convention. And such being the case, we are con-
strained to say, that however much we may esteem
Gen. Bynum as a gentleman, scholar, and firm
and consistent Wing, he cannot. in this undertaking,
command our good wishes, nor we will venture to
add those of any other Eastern man, understands
his own interests and those of the section in which
he lives. Goldsborough Telegraph, (Whtg.)

SOFT WORDS.

Mr.. Webster has written, for President Fillmore,
letter 70 the Mayor of Boston, acknowledging the
receipt of Resolutions recently passed by the author
ties of that City in favor of law and order and in
condemnation of the outrage perperated in the res
cue of the slave Shadrach. The following soft words
occur at the conclusion of this letter:
The President does not doubt that the people of
Massachusetts perfectly well understand the differ
ence between the just discussion of political measures
established. He is quite that they regard the law
of the land, not sentiment or opinion, but as a
rule of conduct prescribed by the general authority,
which all bound obey the risk of the penal
ties attached TO its violation
That is the fugitive-save law is not to be resisted
with force, because it has the sanction of general
authority and it is the law of the land but it may
be discussed - by the people of Massachusetts |!
What is this but an limitation to agitation 1t is
penal offence--so made by the Legislature of
MISUNDERSTANDING any officer of hers aid in re-
claiming fugtiive-slave, and Jail of hers can
be used secure slave, after he is taken. The Lee
gislature of that State is in session, and
Der of it repeal of this law, passed in def
ance of general authority" and in open disregard
of the Federal Constitution; and yet Mr.. Webster,
abiding to the views of the people of that State on
this subject, administers rebuke to them by way
of recalling them their duty. but plainly tells them,
in the name ofthe President, that they perfectly well
understand the difference between the just discussion
of political measures and opposition to legal enact
ments, already made and estabished.'' Massachu-
sets may go into just discussions on the sub
ject of the fugtvesave law, and may labor and band
together to repeal it, and thus inure and tramPe on
Southern interests and property; but if Southern
men, thus assaulted under the Constitution and in op
position to its plain letter, attempt to unite with the
view of protecting and defending themselves, they
are denounced hotspurs and 'agitators," and the
Federal sword is flashed before their eyes
Such state of things cannot continue!
