Tax SOUTHERN CoSvKSrioN.-We have not been at all
disappointed in the practical results Of the Charleston
Convention, for expected much Of il, But
somewhat surprised at the manner in which some OF
contemporaries speak of it, after the eulogistic terms
they accustomed discourse OF the Convention be-
fore it held. One would have supposed that they
confidently expected this Southern Convention remedy
all the evils the South subjected to- heating
them descant upon the subject a few weeks ago.. If
theory and hair-spltng distractions could have help
ed the South the Charleston Convention would not
have been wanting in the proper spirits to effect
that end. They there in the greatest abundance
But when any plain, practical common view OF the
interests Of the South to be TAKEN always
Something entirely different from that which squares with
their peculiar notions The misfortune OF those straight
acei gentlemen politicians is, that all such occasions
they against the great principles of that
political party which they do not belong, and because
they accomplish any thing without the necessity
Of giving endorsement those principles they will do
Nothing, and to abusing the very they have
devised for promoting Southern interests. They
monopoze all the honor and GLORY" OF being the ruling
spirits Of the Convention, through the aid Of party favor
sm, while they hold fast sentiments directly in
act with the mission they have in view So long th
continues to be the case, have but little hope Of
good ever being effected By called Southern Cohven
tions or any other conventions Of u like character

To the Editors Of the Wig:
Geutlemen-Haviug been a constant reader Of the Rich
mond Wing IS years, and having concured In the
sentiments expressed In the Editorials during all that
Rod, with scarcely exceptions delighted often, be the
subject politics, morality, religion, Temperance, or what
-may not then, without offence, say regret much
to find that in your Editorial remarks in the Wing OF the
Sd April 1854, the School subject do {as tar
my observation eItends) great injustice TO tho Protestant
clergy in our country.
Among other things you say Z" they will not preach
Without pay WELL would you have young man, AFTER
expanding all tho money and labor requisite to Ct him Tor
becoming able aud efficient instructor, such the .
century calls Tor and give him nothing but preaoh
ing to live on many OF the Protestant clergy,
:heir wives and children, como near doing.
No wish less than do to a stalled,
purse proud clergymen-a sight that might cause the
devil himself 10 augh-but may God forbid that the
preachers OF truth and righteousness should in
any other country ia tho prayer of old sinner
least.
Our correspondent takes the remarks Of the Wig TO
which he REFERS entirely too seriously wemeant to do
injustice the Protestant clergy Of county The
comments which objected to thrown out, We
thought had sufficiently explained at the time to show
the between the zeal manifested by the emssa
res of the Pope Of Rome and the Protestant clergy In
propagang the doctrines Of their respective churches
and with the hope Of stimulating the latter to stronger
exertions in behalf Of the great Of Education We
would not have the Protestant clergy labor pithout
pay, but while they generally provided with reason.
able compensation for their services would have them
effect all the good they within the legitimate sphere
Of their labors. This, think they could afford do
greater extent in behalf OF tho subject of Education
ut least without calculating their services emitting
them TO extra pay. g.
