The object of the author is to represent the
condition of the Slave in his rude but comfort
able cabin, his daily occupations and pastimes,
the relations between master and slave, the
mistaken impulses and misconceved views of
the Northern Philanthropist, &c, &c, and to
represent the passions and sentiments in their
natural forms, as the same are displayed in the
humblest lot of society, thus showing that, in
the case ef the Stare al least, GOVERNMENT BE-
SHOWS MORE HAPPINESS THAN FREEDOM ;and ut
the same time to represent, AS 1T is, class of
people, viz the Planter, to whom justice has
seldom been done, and whose character, as
exhibited in every day life, is well calculated
TO win the amiable Judgment of the world.

The Democratic Union Convention,

Below will be found the resolutions passed by
the 9TH January Convention-or in other words,
the Union Convention. We publish them for pres
eryadon.
lst. That this Convention adhere to tie prirci-
Piles and measures Of policy adopted by the Ma
tional Democracy in the Conventions held in Bal
timore in 1840, 1874 and 1848 whose wisdom,
we believe, has been illustrated by the prosI fy,
which, under their auspices, has attended the adj
minstraton of the Government
End. That, in view of the efforts which have
lately been made to engraft upon the Democ attic
creed, what we believe to be rgerous hereSy,
which sound Democrats have heretofore condemn
ed which we have ressted-we deem it due to
ourselves and required by The importance of the
occasion, to declare our concurrence in the Ian
guage of the patriot Jackson, that call secession
"a Constitutional light in confounding the mean
ing of terms and can only be done through gross
error, to deceive those who willing TO assert
right, but would pause before they made
revolution, or incur penalties consequent a
failure )" and to re-afirm the declaration of the
Democratic Convention held at the city of Jackson
on the 9th of June 1884, THAT Constitutional
right of secession from the Union, on the part of
single State is utterly unsanctionod by the Fed
eral G Institution, which was framed TO establish
and not to destroy Il G Union of the States and
that no secession can in fact take place, without
subyersion ofthe union established and which will
not virtually amount in its effects and consequen-
ces to civil revolution.
3rd That the perls from which the country
has but lately escaped, having arisen from agita
ton upon the subject of slavery and further agi-
taon or the liberation of it by patriotic men, be-
ing in our opinion, fraught with danger to the per-
petuity of The Government, it is Cur deliberate
jud gment that the measures of compromise whose
efficacy has been felt in quieting dangerous con-
troversy, should be taken by all sections of the
Union to be final settlement of the vexed ques-
ton.
4th. That, holding the views expressed in the
preceding resolution tie delegates appointed TO
! represent us in the National Convention, be and
they are heIeby instructed to their utmost ef-
forts to have the Convention require that the can
didates who may be nominlted for the Presidency
and Vice Presidency, shall be men pledged to the
support of the Compromise measures as final adj
justment of the slavery question and also. to
have the Democratic party pledged to the fullest
and most explicit recognition of the rights of the
Southern S'ates lhat the Democracy in the NJ xt
canvass may so be fore The coun ry with that ma
tional character Which has heretofore cen its pride
and its boast.

BANK IN ABERDEEN.-We are gratifed to no
tice among the proceedings of the Legislature
synopsis of which we give this week--that bill
has been introduced by Capt. Thos. Coopwood,
to incorporate Banking Company in Aberdeen.
Banks we all know have been the bane of Missis-
sippi, in years gone by; but it is to be fondly
hoped that we have now sobered down sufficiently
to try them again, with the sworn determination
to touch the tempting draught lightly, slightly, and
prudently.
Gotten up as, we are assured, the charter is, by
one of the best and safest financial heads of our
midst, with strong popular sentiment in its ia
vour-cautious almostte prudery--we cannot but
believe, the proposed bank, will be of incalcula-
bic advantage to our community.
Having at its head such individual as DR..
Jno. L. Tindal Sen. or others whom we could
mention, sustained by well selected Directory
for which this community affords abundantly an
excellent material--we have no reason to see why,
bank in Aberdeen would not be public bles-
sing.-Aonr0e Democrat.

contend for the Constitutional rights Of the South
is not to assail the Union, or to weaken the bond
which constitutes its strength. To assert as last
alternative the right of a State to secede Z
was not to manifest the purpose of secession
''The platform of the Convention of last June,
was State Rights, because it was Democratic; it
was Democratic because it was State Rights
The assertion of the Rights of the States by JEFF
ferson and Madison was the foundation stone on
which the temple of Democracy was but--the
structure could not stand if the foundation shoud
be destroyed
He said he had assembled to the platform of
the June Convention, with the confidence
due to the soundness of its materials; and
though to him it bad proved the scafIoId for
"political execution, his confidence was not i'm
''paired, and at future--no remote day-he

Etz~ Governor Hunt of New York one of the
National Democrats, says in his late message to
the legislature that
The people of this State have furnished con-
elusive proofs of their aversion to slavery and of
their abiding conviction that it is moral and po-
ltical evil, by aboshing it at home, and by their
uniform opposition to its extension over the free
territory acquired by the arms and treasure of the
nation"
And towards the close suggests short and easy
method, without violence, for the painless extinc-
ton of what he terms condition Of melancholy
debasement.'
CA growing desire to emigrate is manifested by
the black population, and many masters have de-
clared their readiness to free their slaves when
means can be found for their removal. Some of
the States have made considerable appropriations
to promote the object, and an increasing interest
has been evinced by others. New York ought not
to be behind her neghbors in the performance of
a duty so important to her own welfare, and so
beneficial to a large portion of the human family
now held in melancholy debasement. It is work
IN which Christians and patriots of all parties and
in all sections unite their efforts, without in
yolving the country in political or geographical dis
sensions. | submit the whole subject to your en-
lightened consideration, in the firm belief that up
on full examination of its merits, you will deem
it in accordance with justice and policy, and an
enlightened public sentiment, to manifest your APP
proyal of the cause by liberal appropriation for
the furtherance of its benevolent designs"
