The Memphis Convention.

We have in the True Delta dispatches of the pro-
eeedings of this body:
The Convention met on the morning Of the Sth, and
received reports from the committees Direct Trade,
the Pacific Rail Road, the Tehuantepec Route, Man
uactures, Education, Steamers from Southern Ports,
Cotton Interests, &c
TWAS resolved to address Congress on the trade
with the Orinoco the Amazon and the La Plata rivers.
The resolutions regarding the Pacific Railroad are
&C follows:
E2esolued, lst That railroad from the Mississippi
10 the Pacific Ocean, is not only commended by ndi-
vidual and commercial interests but by national in
terests.
I'D rThat,as soon the Survey recently ordered by
Congress be completed, the General Government
ought TO adopt such measures will insure the compile
ton of the main trunk, at the earliest possible period
Sd. AS the General Government Is expected to con-
struct only trunk it should be ocate on that route
which the scientific explorations shall show to pos
sess the greatest advantages with regard TO Climate
fertility of soil, cheapness OF construction, and at
feasibility at every season, and from all parts of the
Union.
4h That it is expedien and proper that the General
Government should make liberal donations of Public
lands TO the different States bordering either side of
the Mississippi. to enable all sections of the Union
however remote, to connect themselves with the en-
terprise.
The first and second resolutions passed unanimous
~. On the third, a warm discussion sprung up. Mr.
Keyser moveda an amendment, giving central loca-
ton, which was lost by vote of ten nays to yea
It then moved to insert the word temperate before
climate, which agreed to, and the resolution,
agreed to passed unanimously.
Mr.. Thrasher offered resolution relative to Cuba
which was lost and the Convention adjourned.
FINAL ACCOUNTABILITY Convention met on the
morning of the 9th pursuantto adjournment when ii
addressed in eloquent speech, by the Hon. Jno
Bell of Tennessee. At the conclusion of Mr.. Bells
address, it moved that when the Convention adj
ourn, it will be to meet in Charleston s. c. on the Cd
Monday in April 1854. The motion was carried. AZ
ter other business of little Importance, the Con-
vention adjourned to meet in Charleston at the time
above stated.

merely because favorite was defeated, you would
indeed be tickle trfer.' That must have been
penned in the carelessness Of composition" You
have all you claim for the North-the f1oater but
it is not Davis. If it had been Davis, would you
not have been satisfied? You complain only that
Barksdae got it instead of Davis. The Conven-
ton had perfect right to give it to whomsoever it
pleased. 1t had the right to take all the candi-
dates from one section il it thought proper to do
SO, but it would have been bad policy. The Con-
venton may select men at its discretion from dill
ferent portions of the State and it usually dlstrIb-
utes them equally, over the State, as possible
Such is the custom, and if it were not departed
from in this instance. 1t chose Barksdale, not
because he was preferred personally to Davis, but
because he was Union man, and the ''harmony
of the party required that that Office should be
given to Union man. He taken from the
north, net because the north was any entitled
to the Office than any other portion of the State,
but because the Governor was taken from differ
ent portion of the State.
You say that YOU conceded to US the right ''to
select the Governor, which We could not claim
again." under scoring the ''again." We are o.
blyed to YOU, but we did not expect the & )rern-
or If the north had claimed him it would assn
redly have been granted. When | went to Jack
son | expected nothing else, desired nothing
else
In your conclusion, you propose remodeIlhS the
"basis of our united party action; and propose
certain changes. At the proper time. if desired
they will be considered They can in no way eff
feet the action which has already been had; at
least ought not so to do. Some Of the changes
meet my approval, others do not. At the proper
time am willing to discuss them with you, but
now it is our duty, yours well as mine, to make
the best of what is past and cannot be remedied,
and to lay our shoulders to The wheels and try to
elect'our ticket, and bye and bye, We may meet
again brethren and try to adjust the scales in
the Convention so that all shall have their 'por-
ton in due season, that go away dissatisfied,
and the good and true democratic craft have ''prof-
it thereby" Very respectfully,

The impudence of this atlantic abolition
iss in saddling the American people with what he
calls the original sin of slavery. and the cool COM
placency with which he applies his theory of
retributive justice, borders on the sublime. He
studously ignores the fact that slavery was plan

consent, aud in contempt of their earnest remon-
strances, by Great Britain herself, and that fos
tered and protected by her laws the institution
had become closely interviewer with our social
system, that its abolition was matter of moral
impossibiity. The writer makes no mention of
these things, but argues as though Great Britain
had relieved herself from all moral or relig 10 US

The seat of MIR. BENJAMIN, U. S. Senatorfrom
Louisiana elected by the Wings in place of
Downs, may be contested. The new constitution
of that State requires all officers to be elected
der it. The present Legislature, being largely
Democratic, may elect two Of their own stripe
to the United States Senate, and that body will
have the question to decide between the present
incuinbents and the new ones, if elected. Mr..
BENJAMIN was born on the island of St. Thomas,
and is charged with not having been naturalized.
This raises u very curious question.
