in defence of their rights, if the South win itself
with that Northern party who give the strongest
and most reliable guarantees to the South. Can
this be done? We believe it can. To aid in doing
it, the American Telegraph" will take an active
part in the next Presidential election. 1t will
urge the South to unite upon the republican basis
of 49, and to send, in good faith, full and able
representation to the Baltimore Convention, un-
der belief that the Democracy Of the North
will unite with them in the nomination of candi-
dates entitled to their confidence and support !;
and who, if elected win exert the power and in
fiuence Of the federal government to protect the
rights and property Of the South.
That the people may act understandingly, we
invite full and candid investigation of the merits
and qualifications Of those who may be presented
as candidates for the Presidency and Vice Presi-
dency. As the nominations, if properly made,
will receive the support of the republican party,
this examination. of the merits of candidates
must be made before the meeting of the conven-
ton; and that the Telegraph may give more
efficient aid in that discussion, we propose to
issue weekly super-royal sheet, in quarto, at
the reduced price of one dollar per annum. This
weekly paper will become valuable book of ref
erence, containing the facts and arguments re-
atng to the Presidential election, and much other
political and general intelligence, with carefully
prepared index.
Postmasters and republican committees are re-
quested to act as agents.

Railroad Convention.

We would call the attention of the public
generally, and especially of oil persons imme-
diately interested in Railroads, to the Circular to
the Presidents of Railroad Companies from the
committee of the meeting held in this city on the
Sd inst. We understand that the meeting ad-
journed until the first Tuesday in March, that the
great convention to be held at New Orleans on
the first Monday in January may act upon the
proposed modification of the laws regulating mail
contracts. 1t is hoped that the adjourned meet
ing will be fully attended, and that Railroad
Companies who cannot conveniently send dele
gates win authorize their members of Congress
or some one else to represent them.

To prevent any loss, however, which otherwise
might possibly be occasioned by the combinations
of the bankers to prevent the negotiation of the
acceptance or to put down the rate of exchange,
it was proposed to the creditors to agree to allow
the per cent. intended to cover the premium to
the United States and our compensation to which
the domestic creditors promptly and gladly as
sented.
Further to guard against the contingency of
those combinations, it had been agreed between
Mr.. Marks and ourselves, before his departure
for Mexico, that we would find some American
banker, who, for a fair proportion of our com
mission, would undertake to make any advances
that might be required at fair business rates On
Mr.. Marks's arrival in Mexico, however, he ex-
planned the transaction to Mex can banker, in
no way connected with the government, save that,
as a friend of the administration, he desired to
sustain and aid it, while, rs Mexican, he pa
triotically wished to sustain the credit of hsna-
ton. This gentleman agreed to enter into the
arrangement on an equal footing with Mr.. Marks
and ourselves, and to make, through himself and
friends, any advances that might be required to
protect the negotiation of the acceptances from
the combinations already frequently mentioned.
We make this explanation now, because Mr..
Marks, in hurried and confidential letter, in
tended merely to inform us that he had found in
the patriotism of Mexican banker that aid which
we were to look for in an American banker, said
that he to pay to party in Mexico onethird of
our commissions, and would require the aid of no
banker in the United States. As we were acting,
and have acted, throughout the whole of this
matter, in good faith and without any occasion for
concealment, we placed this letter in the hands Of
the Hon. p SouG, Senator from Louisiana, and as
such Mr.. Marks's representative. BY accident
Mr.. SoulG left this letter with the memorial and
other papers intended for the Senate; and you
will remember that the agents of the Barings &
Co. availed themselves of that circumstance to
charge that the person in Mexico spoken Of by
Mr.. Marks was member of the government,
and that there was corruption on our side Of the
question. You will also remember that, at the
last session of Congress, gentleman from south
| Carolina, most remarkable for his generous but
somewhat hasty susceptibilities, was imposed
upon and misled by these same parties, who in
duced him to assert, what they dared not do them
selves. that the person alluded to by Mr. Marks
was a high officer of the Mexican government
an error which he regretted exceedingly, and to

contracts will be made by board appointed for
that purpose, and that no contracts will be given
unless that board be fully satisfied that mail SER
vice adequate to the payments will be amply Sc
cured to the United States.
We desire to obtain the views of your company
upon these and oil other matters of detail, and
respectfully ask of you to furnish us such statis
tics as will enable us to submit to the convention
and to Congress a statement showing the com
parative increase or diminution, as the case may
be, of the mail service performed by your com
pany-the past, and probable future increase of
the weight of mails carried over the route Of
your road. And in this connexion we wish to
learn what, in your opinion, will be the probable
increased weight Of the mails if newspapers anc
periodicals are sent free Of postage.
We wish you also to state what is the present
current price of your shares, what rate Of divi.
dend does your company now pay, and what divi.
dend could you pay under contract such as we
propose.
The committee venture to invite the co-opera-
ton of the railroad convention to be Held in New
Orleans on the first Monday Of January and that
the newspapers in the South and West will urge
upon all those who are interested in railroads or
in the extension of the system favorable con-
sideration of the measure proposed, and the ne
cessity of prompt and efficient co operation. In
behalf of the committee,

PROSPECTUS OF THE AMERICAN TELEGRAPH:
city m e0

II is alleged by their advocates that the late
measures, called Compromise, should be salts
factory and final adjustment Of the slavery ques-
ton. They cannot become so otherwise than by
uniting and consolidating the South in support
Of their rights, and by harmonizing the conflict
ing sectional interests which have arrayed the
North against the South.
The result of the late elections proves that the
South are attached to the Union, and wish to
harmonize with the North. To reconcile con-
ficting opinions, and secure concert and una
nimity, there must be mutual confidence and
goodwill This is impossible, unless the sections
deal fairly and justly towards each other The
true end Of government is to protect persons and
property. In the South slaves are property, and
the South demand the peaceable and quiet pos
session Of such property. Their right to hold
slaves as property is denied by the Abolitionists
of the North, who, that they may more efficiently
control public opinion in that section, have or
ganized themselves into religious and political
combinations They act through the press, the
pulpit, and the ballot-box. Such an organization
in one section makes it Indispensable that there
should be counter organization in the other /;
because, if not resisted by such counter organiza
ton, the inevitable consequence would be that
the Northern organization would absorb and
control the entire public sentiment, social, moral,
religious, and political, of that section. The
purpose of the Northern organization is to assail
the rights and interests of the South: the pur-
pose of the Southern organization should be to
protect the interests thus assailed.
Late events prove that the North are so deeply
interested in preserving their present political and
commercial relations to the South, that q power
full, influential and controlling party can be raj
lied in that section, who will unite with the South
