This body meets at Savannah on the oth OF De
cember next. 1t will be the nth Of series o.
Conventions which have been held during the Ia
few wears at various cities OF the SOUTH irnth
compel. Us to say that these assem5lages hass
hitherto been singuary barren OF results, SO bar
rem as to Justify the charge of want OF energy an
nraoticalty which has so often been urged agains
the South hy the North: and this. too, in spite q
the Acknowledged ability of the members com
posing the Conventions. There has been a gree
deal of warm Southern talk and but little els
little less praise of the South. little less denun
citation Of the North would better have beittef
the dignity of these bodies; and little more u
direct practical effort towards the adyancemen
of the material interests of the South would haye
given realizing proof of that energy which un
deres Southern character, and which, when once
put into action. would afford the North whole
some, and perhaps, startling lesson,
We have reason to believe however, that the
approaching Convention will display practical
spirit which will redeem previous innction, aud
enttle the body to degree of appreciation and
trust on the part of the Southern people which
they have not heretofore received. There can bo
no question as to whether the time for discussion
is past or the time for nc,ion-insiant, earnest.
and effective action--arrived. Something must
be done, and that speedily. This is felt at the
South as ii has never been felt before, and the
result Of this feeling will no longer be expressed
in idle resolutions to take effect in distant
and uncertain future
