Southern Commercial Cow ention n.

A sharp controversy has been going
on in Nashville in reference to the
propriety of sending delegates to the
Southern Commercial Convention a
bout to sit at Savannah, Ga. Itappears
that the Union-loving and National
feeling Board of Aldermen at the Cap
ital has, by vote of nearly two to
one, decided that Nashville shall not
be represented there. Alderman Fogg
figures largely in the Council, and ex-
presses his fears that the Convention
would spring political questions, and
scatter disunion frebrands through
the South. :. On this ground Nashville
refuses to be represented there. All
the American papers Of the city sus-
tain the action of the Board of Alder
men. while the Union and American
considers their conduct as "dishonora-
bic to the city,"
We think the policy Of the Board of
Aldermen in bad taste. We think with
the Union ind American, that Nash
vile, a great, growing and proud
Commercial city, osght to be repre-
scented in the Southern Commercial
Convention. 1t strikes our minds that
the policy Of misrepresentation Will
have the very effect it is intended to
check, viz increasing and intensliylng
a Southern feeling. Let the South
consult. 1t is her right and duty. 1t
is thus we winnow the chat from the
wheat. Is not this part Of our coun.
try, and have we not Commercial In,
terests to cherish Besides, if Alder.
man Fogg at Nashville fears the pro-
ceedings ofthe Convention will smack
too much of fire-eatingism, why, ne
should be there to administer his ma
tional ice creams and lemonades. We
are not of the South Carolina school o
politicians, but we don't like to see
conservatism run into the ground
We are glad to see that Gov. John
son has appointed our able and &C
complished fellow townsman, HuGI
FRANCIS, Esq, to represent Franklin
county in the Convention. He hal
made judicious selection.
Our Town Council has also takel
action in this matter. The list OF del
gates will be found in this issue.

The Catholic Question.

1t is the foundation of our political
system that everything in America shdH
be American. We want no Roman
Church in America. We once had
an English Church here-the Church
of England. Our fathers said to the
Episcopalians, this wops do. Every
thing here must be American. They
said to the Archbishop of Canterbury,
YOU shall not ordain Bishops for this
country. They said to the Episcopal
lians here, 'Ordain your own bishops.
And thereupon the Episcopal Church
broke off its allegiance to the British
Church. And now it is called, and is,
the American Episcopal Church.
Shall we show more favor to the Cath
olics than our fathers did 10 the Epis-
copalians Why should we!
So of the Methodist Church. Our
fathers said to the Methodists, John
Wesley is a Briton; he must not or.

your connection with him and the Brit

here must be American And so they

DEMOCRACY.

The election of James Buchanan
by the Democratic party of this coun-
try will 60 down in history as one Of
the most extraordinary events of these
our times. TO hear old wings urging
against Mr.. Buchanan that he was a
United States Bank man, a high pro-
tective tariff man and a bankrupt law
man--jrlst the sort Of man they in
their palmiest days supported, land
to see old democrats supporting him
notwithstanding they had, when only
nine years old, sworn eternal opposi-
ton to all Bank, High Tariff and
Bankrupt Law men--was not that q
sight to see. In his carl y political ca
reer, too, Mr.. Buchanan had been a
federalist,--in Congress had drawn
up, and with others had signed a pa
per beginning with I'VE as Federal
lists in the American Congress- and
notwithstanding every candidate of
the old wing party had somehow or
other smelt of Federalism, and the
old democrats had always protested
themselves the peculiar enemies to
Fedcralists-Gov. A. Y. Brown hay
ing declared in the Baltimore Conven-
ton that the nomination of Mr.. Buch-
anan with his federalism to answer,
would be the death of the democratic
party--yet to see the wings crying
Federalist Federaist and to see the
Democrats elevating that same feder-
alist, James Buchanan, to the chair of
Jefferson and Jackson, was not that
a sight to see But that the South,
in an avowed contest with the North
on the slavery question, should in a
body give their suflrages to gentle
man whose antcccdents on that very
question had all been, to say the very
least, very unsatisfactory and dubious
and especially that the South should
in his election endorse the doctrine OF
"squatter sovereignty, "the best Will

The days Of my childhood, how full and
replete
With Joys and with pleasure divine;
Their moments like flowers strewn under
my feet
The pathway Of life looked sublime.
Ny comrades were cheerful and playful
and wild,
Our gambols we played in the bower;
The breezes of Summer that murmured
and smiled,
Brought odors from many flower
But brightest and best Of that juvenile
band,--
The picture Of innocent pride;
With angelic features and lllly'whlte
hand,
She fingered all day atmy side.
Her forehead jestic o'erhung by tress,
That flowed in the sweet wild breeze;
Like the wavelets that sweep DER the
golden grass,
While the zephyr Of noon'day breathes.
Her eyes were like gems from the Eme'
raid isle,
And tnged with violet blue;
Her lips were like rubics and shown with
a smile
That her friendship was constant and
true.
Her cheeks were like rostbuds before
they are blown
While laved in May morning shower;
Or the hectic Of beauty before it has
flown
From the petals Of some tiny flower
With a volatile air she oft would appear,
70 act as the queen Of our play
For her step was as soft when 1t Tell on
the ear,
As srow.drops that fall by the way
With wreath on her brow she sat in the
ring,
Uniting her song in rhyme,
And watbIing her notes would cnchant-
ingly sing,
While slowly we marched to the tune
One day remember when we were alone,
We sat by the side Of the brook;
She marked with a rock on the face OF
stone
Some letters she'd learned from her
book.
And now when | sport en- the banks Of
that stream
I read them with pensive delight,
For the days Of our ranbIes are now like
dream
That's fled in the stiffness Of night,
0 fond recollec,ions of days that are
gone,
That fall on my soul in dream,
And gladden. my heart when l rambIe
alone
On the banks Of that same little stream
That same gentle hand that piled in my
Lies palsied and cold in the grave,
That angelic form has left me and gone
To sing with the angels above.
For she was too lovely and pure to re-
Where sorrows corrode on the soul;
And now she has left me to join in The
strain
Where anthems exchantingly roll.
0, Sister, come down from thy mansions
above,
And visit my earthly abode;
0, leave for moment that City OF Loft
And show me the pathway to God.

THE FUTURE.

gentleman III mississippi, u Judge,
and high in wealth, responsibility and
influence, lately wrote us after the
following fashion:
"Wo are a doomed nation. This
people have demonstrated that man is
incaple ofself-government. We need
a master. If Fremont be elected, this
Union will be dissolved III ninety days
thereafter. A limited monarchy is
doubtless the best form Of govern
ment."
We would mention that the writer
of the above is a warm supporter OF
Buchanan, but that we do net wish it
inferred that we hold the Democratic
party responsible for the private opin-
ions Of one of it's members.
But the reckIessnasS growing upon
this fast age, and especially upon this
fast progressive Democratic party,
indicates to the minds and fears Of the
great conservative minority Of this
country that as a nation we are drift
ing to destruction. The Buchanan
presses ofthe South are already claim
ing the gratitude OF Mr.. Buchanan, and
demand as u compensation for his
election that he shall! annex Cuba. en-
ter into an alliance with Walker, pro-
tect Nicaragua, and keep lillibustcr-
ing eve on Mexico, &c. Such are the
unblushing demands of the New Or
leans Delia.
1t was the wise advice of Augustus
Caesar, to the Roman nation; given in
his dying hour when ambition had fled,
and the good of his country filled his
soul, not to extend any further the linn
its of the Roman Empire. We res,
pectfully suggest to our countrymen
that it is high time that check be put
upon our annexation proclivities.--
There is such a thing as wild patrio-
tism. And there is nothing more fatal
to commonwealth than Republican,
ism run mad. In reasons name We
have territory enough. We utter what
we believe to be the sentiments of the
American party when we say that We
are from this time forth forever oppos
ed to the annexation Of another foot
of soil, be it island or mainland, Cuba
Nicaragua, Mexico. Sandwich or Can
ada, to these United States. We arr
m aking the experiment of a represent
alive Republican government. W.
have a country and a climate the yer,
best on the broad earth-and it il
enough for US and our children for al
coming time. Accession of territor,
would trouble us--ruin us--and ben
eft nobody. If other people want tt
be free and have republics, in God
name let them initiate our example
and fight their way to independence
We have enough to do to mind on
own business.
It does look as if the great days Q
the Republic have passed away wit
the great men whose names have be
come the proverbs of the America
mind. We seem to have lost the bree
ofnoble bloods. We have hot-heade
counsellors-Republican Don Quiz
distinguishing their own countr!
: and shedding crocodile tears over tn
miseries, or madly defying the proves
of others.

TALE BEARNG.-Never repeat sto-
~ unless you are certain it is correct
and even not then unless something is
to be gained of interest to yourself, or
for the good of the person concerned.
Tattling is mean and a wicked prac-
tice. and we regret that there are many
in our midst who love, apparently, to
indulge it it, and they seem to grow
fonder of it the more successful they
are. To such we would say If you
have no good to say of your neighbor
never reproach his character by tell
ing what is false. One who tells you
the faults of others intends to tell others
of your faults, and so the dish of news
is handed from one to another until
the tale becomes enormous. "a story
never looses anything" is wisely re-
marked but on the contrary gains in
proportion as it is repeated by those
who have not very strict regard for
truth. Truly the tongue is an unruly
member and is full of poison. --Er.
