The Southern RIGHTS Conrention.

This body closed its session on Monday night
of Monday last, after nominating the Hon. GEORGE
M. TRotr, Of Georgia, for President, and Hon.
john A. QUITMAE, of Mississippi for Vice Presi-
dent, and Che following electoral ticket
Col. THos. WILLIAMS, S. D. F. MOORE,

Eight counties had delegates in the convention,
numbering in all some 62-enbracng many very
able and eloquent gentlemen.
The Hon. W. L. Yancey opposed the policy
of The nomination, and made a most conclusive
and eloquent speech against it, in the course of
which lie reiterated his confidence in the soundness
of Gen. Pierce on all the questions upon which
the South has planted herself. We hope this
speech viii be prepared for the press, for it was
certainly equal 20 any effort we have, ever heard
DIR. Y, make, and coming from one who repEdi-
tttes all mere party connections, would be looked
upon as candid and impartial jeff. Noble, Esq,
also opposed the nomination, and eulogised the
democratic candidate for President--regardng him
as firm upon all the constitutional rights of the
South. Others of the delegates, we believe, ex-
pressed themselves in the same manner, but We
were not present when they occupied the floor
The future, We have no doubt, will prove that

who acted with him in the convention, was sound
and correct. The only hope for the South is in
placing the government in the hands of the demo
cratic party, under man whose whole life has
demonstrated that he is true friend of the South
and, so far as he can control the destines of the
country, will conduct the administration Of the
government upon those principles ever contended
for by the brightest and best statesman our section
has produced.
1t may be expected that we should say some
thing of the effect this nomination is to have OF
the Presidential election in Alabama It is NJ
doubt fact that so far as any effect at all is pro
daced, il viii lessen, in some degree, the maj6fit1
for Pierce and King; but that it will endange
the certainty of their carrying the Stately alarg'
majority, no one, we presume, will contend. In
deed it is very certain, to our mind, that MAORI
ty of the members of the convention themselye
believed that it would have no tendency to los
/ those gentlemen the electoral vote of the State
/ and that if they had seriously contemplated sucl
thing as giving the vote of the State for Scott
the result Of the labors of the convention woul
have been different. We think the. gentlemen c
this convention may be set down as an exceptio
to the rule that ''he who is not for is against u.s.
Be this as it may, however, Alabama will not fal
ter, and will; beyond all doubt, roll up for Pierre
and King one Of her largest majorities. Nom

piety, credulity and courage. As she
was in the habit Of returning from even

formed project for favoring her with a
fright; and furnishing themselves with a
little pleasant amusement. One, arrayed
in black, crowned with pair Of horns,
and armed with pitchlork. placed him
self behind tree, and awaited her COM
ing. His companions were concealed
near by, 10 watch the mischief and pa:-
ticipate in the fun. Atlast came the un-
suspecting victim, leisurely along. de-
voutly medita,ing, no doubt, on the god
ly discourse, 10 which she had been lis
iening. Out sprang his Satanic majes-
~, pro tenn, and confronted her!
"Who be you!" said the old lady,
quietly regarding the fearful parsonage
before her.

ton in hollow, sepulchral voice.
"Well," replied she, her sympathizing
hear, filed with sorrow for his conci-
,ion, "You're one poor cretur!"
