The SOUTHERN CoNvENTIoN.-Thc business com.
mit.ee Of the Southern Convention have reported
against free trade and direct taxation also against
the South receiving goods coming from States not
unfolding the fugitive slave law; also sgainst the
discrimination Of Government in favor Of foreign
mail lines from Northern ports reported in favor OF
the exemption of one slave TO each STAKEHOLDER from
seizure for debt, and in favor of erecting. arizona
into Territory in favor of recovering certain land
lost by recent treaty with Mexico; also reported
that the time had not arrived for convention to
consider the revival of the African slayerades A
resolution in favor of Montgomery. Alabama, as the
next place Of meeting, was adopted.

TIE DICTATORSHIP.

In every day lte. men who lapse frGn honesty and
engage in unlawful pursuits alwaye strive to
have associates in their msdongs. thus endcavor.
ing to soothc their conscienccs by q fellowship in
guilt. So IL is with old and hackncycd politicians.
Having achieved position, by trickcry, cunning,
and deceit, they insti into the minds of their follow
ers, their avore and solacing axiom, that the "end
justifes the mcans.'
Thus we see men who have disrcgardcd the rules
and customs of the Democratic party men who have
run in successful opposition to regularly nominated
candidates, men who have not only voted for but
supported independent candidates, the most loud
and energetic in support Of that plus ultra of politi-
cal cunning aud manpuvcring, Thos. G.. Davidson.
A" fcllow-feeling makes them wondrous kind"
These old and expert politicians, would deludc
the masses into the belief that they are disncrcst-
ed in this support, whereas If you scan them closely,
you will find not few among them applicants for
place and position, or having little claim which
they expect to have fostcd through Congress.
These are the men who subsidizo presses, and get
up on paper tremendous ratification meetings y
coin letters from abroad containing grcat enthusi
asm and dac deliberately at street corners upon the
transccndent merits Of their candidate, all with the
view of raising an excitement in his behalf entirely
spurious In Its character.
in connection with these more plant tools. how
natural il is for old fogics" who in years past. held
seat in secret caucus, and VOW long for return Of
those halcyon days. when the democracy calmly and
quietly submitted to their decision in the selection
Of candidates. to enlist themselves under their ban.
ncrs. and unite in denouncng all who are not willing
TO blindy yield to their dctation.
In the last Struggle in thu parish which were
crowned with success ii was the boast of The dcmoc-
racy, 'hsl kbey had no secrets from the people, il
was only their opponents who met in private c0un-
Gil, and their concocted measures to dcudc and rule
their blind adhcrcnls. But this is changcd There
is dictatorship in this p@ish, who have taken upon
themselves the advising and the ruling of the demo
cratic party. To differ from fheu il n political
heresy punishable with communication. 1t Strikes
at their privilege as free citizens. 1t forbils them
to exercise their own Judgment, il forbids them to
have thought of their own, itplaccs mark upon
them, it attacks them in their business rcl,fons il
proscribes and denounccs them as being Of different
creed, and would if il had the power deprive them
Of the powef. to exercise The right Of suffrage.
To this stAte Of tlings are we now tending and
it remains to be seen, whether this combination sup.
ported by unprineplcd politicians, ano aided by
subsidies from abroad, shall rutlfully trampe out
the rights of citizens, and place ia their stead
vndictiye and implasNblc Dictatorship
