l. Tbe wrIJer of the following .1,ter has done the State some seFFicc; and there are few men whose word IS entitled 10 more considerations HAMPSTEAD COUNTY, ApuI 9, 1851.
 Dk.k Sia write to yoa merely that you are deceived in regard to the feeling of the Southern coun4e~p on the subject of the Congressional eec- ton. They will be represented n the proposed Convention, with scarcely single exception, and a unit for the nomination of Col. R. W. Johnson. The Eastern couHiies care very little where their representative in Congress, resides, p;oyded he be citizen of The State, aud possess the requisite qualifications. Neither Gen. Clarke, CT other highly respectable gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned. would, !, s fed1i, unJte the nos- tkert democracy, as they are comparatively un- known and inexperienced in national legislation. IL Is otherwise n the case of Col. Johnson, who $ not only well known and experienced, but greatly beloved by numerous personal friends who would sustain Aim with that kind of zeal which coatri- butes always so much towards success. This county will send delegation to be chosen on the l2ih instant.
 Your friend and servant.

ITIn aaothef column, will be found the pro eeedings Of the Democratic Meeting ia Phillips county. The fouEth resolution expresses. in few words, the doctrine apoa theSoathern question, which we have so earnestly and repeatedly sdvo- cated. threads tAnS:
 "That we view the measures of the late Con gress, known as the Compromise rnesspEes. as an- wise aggreSsion, and anuSt towards the South; and while we do no; believe dissolution of the Uaion would remedy the eyii, under which the soath labors.-yet, as freemep t is our duty to demand, of our Northern brethren, an equshiy of political rights"
 The South, after the foul play she has received from the North. has but little to rely upoa. save her own earnest and continued efforts. Shorh ot right that she has long proudly rnain'aiaeFe-- driven from an immense territory, fer which she ypeni her treasure, and poured olt her blood, and compelled so witness inc violation Of a cogSttu- ,ion to which she has SD long and SD rehgio isy adhered as the rale of her conduct; she VIII, la- deed, exhibit fa!a iafataat,oa if sbe longer be seeches by prayers and petitions, mercy aul for l bearanee from the fana;irism of the North.

The Judiciary System.

1t is probable from present indications, that the Con-
vsntion will make material change in system OF
courts but will rs-adop, with some slight alterations
the provisions that subject contained n the old Con-
stitutioD.
The only important change that has been urged, in
the organization Of the courts Of justice, is in the man
Of transaeng the probate business Several proPo-
stions that subject have been submitted to the Con-
venon the surrogate system county courts with pro-
bate jurisdiction circuit probate courts and the division
OF the State into sufficient number Of circuits, t
enabethe Judge elected each circuit TO hold the SAM
number Of terms of the circuit court provided fo
BY law; and least three terms Of probate court II
each county Of the circuit during the year. The latte
proposition was brought before the Convention by Mr.
Holman and the friends Of that measure claim for the
advantage Of securing the greater uniformity Of deeis
ions throughout the State, dminuton Of expense and
at the same time, securing competent judge for tht
transaction Of probate business All OF these PROPOSE
tions however, have failed and presume no change
Of material character will be made in system OF
