The course Of the Constitutional Union party
Of Georgia Is not yet decided upon. The Co
lumbus Enquirer, one. Of the Wing supporters
Of that organization, and very strong and in
fluential one, thus advocates separate organiza-
tion--a balance Of power party:
The question here presents ITSELF will IL be
prudent or safe for our political friends 10 send
delegates 10 any Of the national conventions
that may assemble 10 nominate candidates for
the Presidency and Vice Presidency The re-
marks we have made In reference 70 the impoli-
CIV Of ninRling our fortunes with The decision Of
the Baltimore convention are, in our opinion, ap.
plicable in their general bearing 10 the conven.
ton that may assemble in Philadelphia The
same dangerous elements may and doubtless
will be found in both Shall our friends ST
silently by and take no hand in the selection Of
the highest officers Of the county, BY no
manner 81 means We pretend not 10 dictate !;
our advice Is all that we can offer, and we offer
that with more than usual difidence. Let us
await the action OF what are usually termed the
national conventions, and see what manner Of
men they respectively place before lps for our
support When this is done, LET US call a con
vention Of our friends at the seat Of the State
government, and LET that convention deliberate
and decide which Of the candidates is meet
worthy Of the confidence and support Of our
political friends. II neither Of the candidates
are deemed 10 be thus worthy, LET the conven-
ton select some prominent citizen known 10
be friendly 10 a final settlement Of the slavery
question on the basis Of the compromise meas.
ufes.
Already have our friends in Alabama distinct
" indicated the course which we have ventured
thus imperfeetly 10 recommed. We regard this
as the only safe course that can be pursued
under existing circumstances. II is worse than
useless TO send delegates to any Of the old party
conventions, with instructions 10 make peremp-
tory demands, and TO come home IL their de-
maBds are not granted. Our opinion is that we
shall keep clear Of all such conventions, and
hold our strength in reserve to rally and do bat
tie under the flag Of the leader who shall hon.
estly inscribe on bis banner, the Union, the
Constitution, and the Compromise, and whose
life for the past will give assurance for the
future that he will eDdeavor 10 continue in
peace with all nations, forming no entanglng
alliances with any.

- Ths Texas Republican th0s refers ts the
recent sale of Massachusetts, negroes IN that
State, which has been made the theme Of much
comment 10 Northern papers. Il will be OBJ
served that the Republican recommends to the
legislature the passage Of a law in relation to
colored seamen, similar to that now in force In
Louisiana and South Carolina
We learn from the Galveston Journal, that at
the last term of the court, three free negroes,
crew of the brig Billow, (of Pierce d. Bacon's
line, Boston,) were convicted OF concealing on
board of said vessel, a negro, named Frank, the
property of Deesdernier. 1t appeared In the
evidence, that these free negroes had entlced
him to run away, promising him to take care OF
him, and send him to Canada; stating that they
had done the same thing with negro slave and
his wife in New Orleans. They advised him to
steal some better clothes than he had on, as he
was liable to be taken up in Boston as runa
way. He accordingly stole lot of clothing
from the store of Messrs. Stems a. Lynch, in
Galveston, and got to the boat without being
detected. The free negroes concealed him IN
the hole of the vessel, and carried his meals TO
him. The brig was detained some time by
bad weather, and shortly after leaving the port,
he was discovered by the mate. The mate sent
two of the free negroes with the yawl, to put
the slave ashore. They were oyertaken by the
pilot boat Capt Wilson, who took them on
board The stolen goods in the meantime were
disc covered, and the whole plot disclosed
The penalty for this crime, by the statutes OF
Texas, is fine equal to the value of the slave
If not paid, the parties convicted to be sold as
slaves for life.
The prisoners being unable TO pay their
fines, were sentenced to be exposed for sale in
fifteen DAYS, unless in the mean time their fines
were paid. .
This presents a strong case for the reflection
of our legislature Would il not be well for
Texas to prohibit the landing of negro seamen
on our shores

The Cincinnati Commercial has spread abroad
reports that Gov. Kossuth quarrelled with the
committee in that City, before leaving, and treated
them in the most insolent manner, because they
had failed TO secure as much "materal aid )" he
had been led TO expect. The committee, through
their chairman brand the entire statement as false
and, after referring to their last interview with the
Magyar, say, "that every individual member gath.
cred from that last interview, more implicit faith
in the man, greater sympathy in his cause, and

To the Editors nf The Southern Press
Has it ever occurred to you, while looking out
for some available candidate for the next Presi-
dency, that DR.. GwIN might forward the most
important interests of the State-Rights party
without being personally obnoxious to even the
moderate Wings of the South. In the first
place, he is Southerner by birth and feeling
he entertains moderate views respecting the diff
ferences which agitate the two sections of the
Democratic party at the South, or at least, has
not committed himself so far in favor of the
State Rights party as to be rejected by the
Union Democrats. And yet, he is known to be
true to the South in all essential republics, at
the same time that he represents free State,
and that State shortly to become the most infiu-
eltial in the Union. His election would al
once unite the East and the West by tight
band of interest, and facilitate the intercourse
between the Southern States and South CALI
FoRNIA, as far as presidential recommendations
might suggest the support Of any measure, The
nomination would doubtless crafty the restless
and progressive Democrats al the North, and en-.
sure the cooperation Of the States in the Mis-.
sissippi Valley. Do, Messrs. Editors, give this
ball motion, and obIige one that is by no means
interested in the matter beyond sincere re
gard for the Union Of the States under the
Constitution. K 5. w.

islands had also suffered greatly from gales and
severe rain-storms. Many houses had been pro-

subsist on. They were living in mud novels,

The best Anchor.

The following lines of BURNS condense in
two stanzas as much true poetry, philosophy
and piety, as can be found in the whole range
of literature in similar compass:
"The Great Creator to revere,
Must sure become thecreature,
But still the preaching cant forbear, !.
And cen the rigid feature;
Yetne'er with wits profane to range,
Be complaisance extended
An Atheists laughs poor exchange
For Deity offended!
When ranting round in pleasures ring,
Religion may be blinded;
Or if she gle random sting,
1t may be little minded
But when on life we're tempest driven,
And Conscience but a canker-
a correspondence fx'd wi Heaven
Is sure noble anchor!
