preme power shall be exercised, although the
people preserve these rights TO themselves. ard
tits no answer to say the people may approve
or disapproye what the convention does; that
does not enlarge the power: each department OF
the government must con6ne itself within the
proper limit; not only must it not encroach on
the other departments, but least Of all must it
encroach on the rights of the people, We pos
sess but legislative power; this does not enable
us to clOthe the convention with supreme power
If 1t is to exercise such, it must derive it from
the people through the constitution, by the
means and through the forms there prescribed;
for even they cannot invest it with given power
in a different way. 1t must trace its title TO
power through the constitution. 1t is not the
mere election of the people which consers SUI
preme power; this is only the selection Of an
individual to exercise an existing power. 1t
was not our election that conferred upon us leg-
islative power, but it was the constitution, and
that instrument must confer power on the dele
gates to the convention, or they will have none.
We are not content to let this bill pass with our
mere negatives, We wish to discaim power
over the subject and on behalf and in the name
of our constituents, to protest against it

THE GEORGIA CONVENTION. venerable
President of the late Georgia Convention, Thos.
Spalding Of Mcintosh, whose years have near
ly reached the scriptural limit Of fourscore. upon
taking the chair, addressed the body over which
be was UpiIs4 TO preside in the lew but ex>
pressive words which follow:
Gentlemen of the ConUention-I thank you
for the honor you do me in placing me in the
chair on this memorable occasion. 1t is per-
haps an appropriate-I feel that it is a grace-
differentiation of my long lie.
Gentlemen, it may be expected that Ishoud
say something of my opinions on this occasion.
For the first time in twenty-five years, Con~
gress has appeared willing to listen to our
complaints, and | am filed with hopes for the
future For fifty years the most enlightened
nations in Europe-France, Spain, Italy and
Germany-have been laboring in blood and
through desolaiion after "free government"
For sixty-three years we have known quietude
From small people we have become great
nation under onr CoDstituion-and rather
than THAT CONSTITUTION should perish,
would wish that myself fand every human be-
ing who has drop of my blood in his veins
should perish. To use the words of Homer,
"Before thai dreadful day,
May and mine lie pressed beneath our monu~
mental clay!''

The History OF ELwo1D FIsHER.-About
the time Elweod Fisher was telegrapbed from
Cincinnati 10 Washington to take charge of that
Seventh wonder Of the world, = the s.Southern
Press we lost two or three subscribers -gentle-
men who could moi consistently with the full
ness Of their purses or their priHciples) take
the "Hinds County Gazette" and also that pom
derous Southern engine dubbed THE Southern
Press. To those gentlemen we commend the
following pointed article from the memphis
Express" which, by the by. is one of the most
ultra Southern papers in Tennessee,-Hi
Co. Gazette.
"We have known Elwood Fisher from our
earliest boyhood. Elwood was raised in Ohio,
and we do not know but that he was born there;
if not, he went there while a mere child and
lived in the State several years after he reached
manhood We recollect the time when Elwood
would not wear cotton upon his person in any
form, take sugar in his tea or coffee, nor touch
any southern product, because it was raised by
slaves. These opinions he carried to the most
ludicrous excess. He was at one time-n fact
during the whole period of his life till sometime
after manhood-a rabid whig, bntturned demo
crat, and by this maneuvre went to the Indiana
legislature, but the members of that party in
Hamilton county, Ohio, having no confidence in
him, threw him aside, nor would have any thing
to do with him. We do not know so vulnerable
a man as Elwood Fisher, but we hope that as he
has now got into good cause, he may exhibit
a little more consistency thanhis past life would
divulge."

BISHOP HUGHEs IN EURoPE-Religious T0E-
eration in AnericG.-Archbishop Hughes ar
rived in Paris October 18th, from London, in
very good health. He meant TO pass five or six
DAYS in Paris. The French Catholic hierarchy
holds him in the highest estimation. We observe
in the London papers an abstract of the sermon
which he delivered to crowded congregation at
the Catholic Church in Spanish Place. A SEM
saion has been produced in Paris, says the cor
resp ondent of the New York Journal OF Com
merce, by the following passage:
AIN America, as here, the Catbo ic Church is
looked upon ifyou will with suspicion and dread.
There is, perhaps; as much prejudice there as
here, but yet the idea of meeting this antago-
nistic church with any other arms than those OF
fair, open argument, never enters into any one s
mind. All is there free. And ifit should be
suggested by any one that any measure should
be taken by Congress 10 stop the progress OF our
religion, there is not man OF any religion who
would not stand up and say. Let the Catholic
religion prevail through the land, i It cannot De
arrested by fair argument-if it cannot be stop,
ped without having recourse to the force OF
law.
AS an instance os liberal feeling, willjust
mention that a few days before left New York,
some Protestant clergymen waited upon me, and
congratulated me upon New York being raised
to a metropolitan see, and upon our having a
regular hierarchy according to the rules Of the
Church. AS another proof OF the real freedom
of religion, the real i3eralitY OF the people in
America, | will just mention that few years
ago the Catholic bishop happening TO be in
Washington during the meeting Of Congress,
was invited to preach before il, and the mem
bers of all pursuasions assembled to hear him.
On another occasion this same bishop, at the
time of the war with Mexico. was invited to
Cabinet Councils OF the Ministers oil State, to
give his advice upon the subject of concluding
the war; and had it not speedily terminated, be
was to have been sent on a deputaticn to Mexi-
co, thinking that in his sacred character he
might have influence with the people of Mexico
they being Of bis own religion. and thereby
prevent the further effnsion OF blood.

secure the escape Of few-will it help the
many thousands at home? VIII it pursuade to
our views the Southern owner OF slaves, or
bring him to better temper by the hard terms Of
bitter reproaches? Washington and Madison,
Jay and Ellsworth, Hamilton and Ames; and
many Of their compatriots, deemed this disputed
clause wise stipulation, the best to be. had at
the time; and now, after nearly four-score years
Of current Interpretation and construction, shall
we give eountenance to the violence that passes
by the judicial tribunals of the country, estab-
lished to decide all constitutional cases, and for
chilly takes the Constitution, the great fundamen-
tai law of our Union, into its own hands, and
tear out what it presnmptuously declares to
be exceptional clauses? / cannut beIive it..

that the sober-minded in all our free States
