II. That this convention ~dlsdpprovc of
the late Congressional legislation, by some
called the Compromise, and declare their
strong and unequivocdl condemnation of
the three following acts, namely: the adj
mission Of California, as a State; the diVi-
sicu Of the State Of Texas; and the law
usurping to Congress the power to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia under
the fraudulent pfetence of regulating the
slave trade therein. These are regarded by
MS as an evidence Of the determination of
the North to trample upon the political
rights Of the Southern States, to destroy
their equality in the Union, and place the
Government for all time to come under the
control Of a fanatic and sectional majority.
Is. That we can find no adequate ex-
cuse to JustiIy the majority in Congress for
forcing these measures upon Us, and we are
wanting in language to express our con.
domination ofthe Southern Senator or Rep
resentative, who voted for the admission OF
California, the division Of Texas, and the
antl-slavery act in the District of Column
Ola while we as emphaticaily approve the
course of those Representatives who OPP
posed their adoption; and we now conf
dentiy appeal to the people of the State Of
Mississippi, for their verdict and Judgment
IN the pvenises.i'd 9a 1.9 t'4
IA. That the advocates Of State
Rights are the true friends OF the
South and of the Union (; and that no
light e~n be more clear or more essen
nal to the projections of the minority,
Than the right Of, a State peaceably to
withdraw from the Union, without de-
MA on obstruction from any quarter
whatever; but whilst We assert the
right, we consider il the last remedy
lne hnal alternatives; aud also declare
mat the exercise of it by the State d
mississippi, under existing circumstan
ses would be inexpeaient, and is a
Proposition which does not meet the
appreciation of this Convention.

The good man is just in little things, the
wicked man is little in great ones.

We often hear parents express a great soil

THE GOLDEN CALF.-BY G. L. BANKS.

The world may scorn and the world may laugh
AT him who worships the Golden Calf;
But as he has a cure for the widest jest,
Who has taken good care to feather his nest
Who has thought 10 himself, '~!agolden egg
Il better than win to borrow or beg"
For say what you willin Lies sunniest day,
There's nothing like gold for the worlds highway
The world may leer. and the world may laugh
At him who Worships the Golden Cali;
But is not a guinea, a note in store,
Better than having the wolf at the door
s'Tis gold that brings honor, respect and trends
But want it. and quickly their friendship ends;
For say what you will in Lies storniest day,
There's nothing like gold for the worlds highway
