le into consideration tile formation of a commel
&c clal association. A constitution, requiring til
g members to pledge themselves to give prefer

IS from the freesoilers and abolitionists, as enc
e mics to the best interests of our country, as ia
e as practicable, the influence which lucrativ
n commerce always bestows, was adopted. It'll
e proposed to establish a business Office in New
!, York before the opening Of the fall trade, til,
agent to devise such measures as will effect th,
design of the publication of periodical. It i
t likewise contemplated to issue circulars soon
to be sent throughout the SOUTH inviting the
cooperation of the planters and business men
The subject will be brought before the south
ern commercial convention, to be held at Sa-
vannah. This programme has been submitted
to the northern, as well as the southern, con-
gressmen for their consideration. The propo-
sitlon for southerners to give the preference in
all business transactions at the north to those
wholly untainted with aboltionism, is worthy
of serious consideration, and we would rejoice
to hear of its being Immediately carried into eff
feet. But the idea of establishing journal at
New York, is ridiculous. Southern interests
can never be advanced by New York newspa-
pers, and the money investedin such enterprises
would only be squandered on mercenary serb
blers. Let southerners bestow their patronage
upon home journals, and by that means strive
to build up respectable southern literature,
and enable us. to do without northern periodi-
Gals. The proposed southern convention, at
Savannah, will, we fear, be repetition of the
broad farces played during the last four years
at Memphis, Charleston, N. Orleans and Rich
mond. Southern convention is now consid- |
cred to be synonymous with humbug, and the
people are weary of the subject. They demand
prompt action, and do not want long, ranting'
nhammatory harangues, composed of nothing
save bombast self-mportance and 'sgas." The
delegates to these assemblies have never done
anything to advance southern interests.
The New Orleans Bulletin enumerates the
GLOWING, among other good, reasons why the
people of the south will oppose the elevation of
dr. Buchanan to the presidency:
He has been out of the country during the
Whole of the Kansas fight, and has come home
little infected with the prejudices against slave
y which pervade the aristocratic circles Of the I
British metropolis. +
