The Cause Of the Failure Ok tho SOuths
erM Conventions
The Norfolk Argus gives graphic descrip-
ton Of the causes Of the failure Of the recent
Southern Commercial Convention. 1t refers it
principally to the impracticability Of the mate
rial of which 1t was composed. The great fact
is, however, that those who participated in its
deliberations were mere politicians, having no
practical knowledge Of commerce in any Of its
relations. Here was the difficulty. They could
discuss political distractions dd infnitum They
could talk of the interests Of the peculiar inst-
tuition by the hour. But when they came to
drawing plans for an extensive system Of COM
merce, they failed. They knew not the FIRST
principles Of action in this direction, and con-
sequently the Convention was an abortion, like
all its predecessors. The Argus, in its remarks,
says:
The great cause Of the failure Of the South
ern Commercial Convention to bring about the
results which one would naturally expect from
a congress OF the Southern States, is the unwar-
ranted suspicion with which the members re
gard each other-a want Of confidence in one
another. Because A. will not advocate the
opening Of the slave trade, B. shakes his head
and whispers around that he is unscund on the
vital question of slavery. G. thinks Northern
emigration would benefit the South, whereupon
A. feels it his duty to dcn0unce him as "free
soiler." D. expresses the hope that one day the
sun of heaven may rise and set on redeemed
and disenthralled world, where no slavery eI-
lists, and G. straightway raises the cry that he
is an avowed abolitionist. Thus it is in the
South; man distrusts the feeling Of his fellow
man in regard to the peculiar institution. B
upbraids A. as as unsound. A. in turn declares
G. = free soiler, and G. denounces D. as a trai
tor to the South; and rs natural consequence
there can be no union Of sentiment or purpose
among them.
Az with the people, SO with the States Of tn,
South. Georgia regards Virginia as unsound
Virginia looks upon Maryland as freesoil; an,
MAryla land considers Missouri lost to the Soutl
and wholly given 10 abolitionism. This beinl
the case, the Southern house being divides
against itself, how can we expect aught to b
accomplished BY any Convention Of The South
ern States, either politicalor commercial. Whe
the people ard the States Of the South learn :
have confidence in those who have commo
faith, hope and destiny, then, and not till then
will any good result from, or any work be &c
complishsd BY, Southern Commercial Conven
i tiOns.
