Planters Convention.

We have received through the politeness o.
the Secretary Of the Agricultural Bureau o
Tennessee, E. G. EASTMAN, Esq, circular
explaining the action Of that body in
reference to the proposition from the
Mississippi Bureau for an annual Planters
Convention of Slaveholdng States. Nashville
has been selected as the place for holding the
first of these Conventions, on the occasion Of
the annual Fair in October 1859, and mora
appropriate location could not have been de-
signated, as it is both central and of easy
access by railroad:
TENNESSEE STATE AGRICULTURAL BUREAU,
Nashville, July IL, 1859.
To the Agricsltaral and Mechanical Associa-
tion of the Southern States
The State Agricultural Bureau of Missis-
sippi, at its regular meeting in November last,
unanimously adopted resolution, advising
and inauguratng the policy of an annual
Planters Convention, for the slaveholding
States. The circular of the President Of the
State Agricultural Bureau Of Mississippi,
says:
!" 1t is impossible in a communication like
this to enumerate the advantages to be de-
rived from annual meetings of intelligent re-
representatives. from the slave producing States.
At these Conventions we can learn the efforts
made annually to promote the Agricultural
and Mechanical interests of the different
States, and the success of such efforts, de
termine what State legislation is necessary to
advance these interests,-the best manner Of
collecting and publishing Agricultural Stats
tics, &C., &c"
Nashville, Tennessee, having been desig-
mated as the place, and the October Fair, 1859,
as the time, for holding the first of these
Planters Conventions, am directed by the
State Agricultural Bureau of Tennessee, to
inform you that the Fair Of the Bureau will
be held on its grounds, in Nashville, COM
meucing October 10, and continuing one week
The Bureau, and il members, invite your CO
operation in this Planters Convention, and
will take great pleasure in welcoming to this
city such delegates from your society or such
Individual members as may honor us with
their presence.

Hon. Linn Boyd, former Speaker of the
National House of REPRESENTATIVES and a
prominent candidate for De Vice Presidential
nomination in the Cincinnati Convention, and
at present the Democrats candidate for Lieut..
Governor of Kentucky IS one Of the most
moderate and conservative of all the promi-
nent men in the Demoeratic party. The
opinion Of one 50 free hom the suspicion Of
ultraism, is worthy ol sHecial note. In re-
cent address to the psofk Of his State assign
ing the reasons why q has not been able to
make a canvass ,-he tekes occasion thus ex-
plicitly to avow the DsAi Scott doctrine that
it is the dutgsss saassss to protect slave
holders NJ ne ssjo q Of their rights in
the territories when such protection is denied
them by the local authorities. He says:
Without intending, here, to discuss the po-
litical topics of the day, it may not be inap-
propriate for me to indulge in a single remark
in reference to the question Of slavery in the
Territories. By the legislation of Congress,
it is clearly the right and the duty of the Ter
ritorial Legislatures to give adequate protec-
tion to persons and property (slaves included)'
in the Territories and earnestly and most
confidently hope, that that duty will be SO
performed, as that no occasion will ever arise
for an appeal to Congress on that subject. II,
however, doomed 70 disappointment in this
confident hope, and from bad faith on the part
of the people of the Territories, the rights Of
Shareholders should Be disregardea and outraged,
Trust that ue1y yteU sciU be found to deny that
to Congress belongs the po,cer and the dutyto
offer just protection.

The Territorial Question.-The Charles
ton Convention.

VIII the National Democracy when they
assemble in Convention at Charleston, meet
the Territorial question fairly and squarely,
and plant themselves boldly upon the Cincin-
natl platform with the Dred Scott interpreta-
ton that 1T is the duty of Congress to afford
adequate protection to slave as aoeH as other
property IN the territories or will they disap-
point the reasonable expectations of the un-
hltering Southern Democracy and speak in
Delphic phrase or with forked-tongue?
If the majority shirk the issue and shrink
from the manly performance of duty, then
farewell to the integrity of the National DEM
ocratic organization, If they REFUSE 70 e,saesse
the decision o. the Supreme Court Of the
United States an impartial tribunal uninfu-
enced by sectional and partizan prejudice, and
looking only to the true Interpretation of the
Constitution, then, they will have forfeited all
claim to continuation of the confidence of
the minority. The decision thus rendered
will afford a platform upon which all can
stand who are willing to preserve the COnsti-
tuition, with all its sacred guarantees, and to
mete out to every State its just rights in the
confederacy. The reputation of that arbi-
tration will evince such departure from the
true faith, and such repugnance to the prop
er discharge of indispensable obligations, as
will force the Southern Democracy to dissolve
a connection which they could no longer sus-
tain without compromising their own honor
and sacrificing the rights Of their own section.
The delegates from the Southern States
will go to Charleston with the Dred Scott de-
cision in hand, and ask its endorsement. Will
the Northern Democracy refuse to comply
with requirement so just and reasonable p
Upon their answer depends the united action
of the party in the approaching Presidential
election

Gen. 10. Lane.

This distinguished man is an object of Bit
ter aversion to the Black Republicans and
their Squatter allies They do not like his
straightforward honesty nor his ir1nness in
opposing their wicked combination against the
South. They may imagine, too, that he is
destined to be the next Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, and they dread to encoun-
ter his strength with the masses. 1t is in this
fashion that Forney prognostieates his for
tunes:
In 1860, Lanes term as Senator will also
expire, and from present appearances the two
new Senators of the State will be an anti
Lecompton Democrat and Republican,
Buehananism is as obnoxious to the people of
Oregon as to the citizens of any other State,
and the influence of Gen. Lane has been al
most entirely destroyed by his eagerness to
PROSTATE himself at the feet of power, and to
misrepresent the sentiments of his constitu-
ents on the great Territorial question.
The meaning of Forney's charge that "he
has misrepresented the sentiments of his con-
stituents on the great Territorial question"
is interpreted that he has shown no favor to
the vile heresy of squatter sovereignty which
the enemies Of the South have accented IN
lieu Of the Wilmot Proviso for .depriv;ns her
of the right TO enjoy the territories equally,
with the free States. The charge VIII not inis
pair his standing with the true National
Democracy. +

In their State Convention on the Goth inst.
the Democracy of Maryland unanimously
adopted the following resolutions re-affirming
the Cincinnati platform with the Dred Scott
Interpretation:
RESOLVED, That upon the subject of slavery
the democracy of Maryland adhere to the
time -honored creed of their party and the
principles and policy laid down in their ma
tional platforms of 1852 and 1856; and that
regarding this great question solved and set
tied by the adjustment measure of 1850 and
the Kansas Nebraska act and that as applied,
executed and maintained in good faith under
the decision OF the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States in the Dred Scott case, there is no
exigency requiring any new issue to the sub
ject.
Resolred, That the democratic party al
ways maintained these measures distinctly,
and recognizes the right of the people of the
Territories where they live to form themselves
into States, then to determine the question of
slavery for themselves, and to be admitted in
to the Union with or without slavery, as they
shall so determine; and that in the mean time,
under the Constitution of the United States,
and as expressed by the Supreme Court in the
bred Scott case, the rights of all the people
in all the States to their property in the Ter
ritories are inViolable, and cannot be impaired
BY legislation, either directly or indirectly.

A Voice from Kemper

As we have before remarked, upon the
members Of the Legislative and upon the Exc
cutive of Mississippi elected in October next,
will devolye the duty of taking preliminary
steps towards calling into efficient action the
sovereign power of the State in the event oil
the election Of Black Republican to the
Presidency. 1t is therefore of the highest
importance that the State call into her councils
her best and truest sons That the Kemper
Democracy have not been unmindful of the
requirements Of the times, we have ample
evidence in their selection of legislative
ticket. The following extract of the letter Of
Hon. Q. Y. Nicely, one of the nominees, ac-
cepting the post assigned him, displays pro-
per appreciation of the duties that will de-
volve upon him in the contingencies appre-
hended, and firm resolve to discharge them
properly;
That there is crisis ahead in our national
affairs, is as plain as the MONDAY sun, unless
arrested by the firm and patriotic sons Of the
South. If Black Republican is elected
President in 1860, l have too much respect
for the patriotic feelings of the South to be-
lieve that they will submit to his administra-
ton. And in the happening of this event,
pledge myself if elected member of the
State Legislature, to use my utmost exertions
to place Mississippi in an attitude to secure
her original sovereignty. The South has in
the past, yielded to the unconstitutional and
unjust demands of the North, doubtless be-
lieving that further encroachments on her
rights would not be asked or demanded
From the history of the past and the prospects
of the future, the Southern people can GER
tainly form but an opinion, and that opinion
will cause them to contend for their constitu-
-tional rights at all hazards.
The weekly Mississippian. [volume] (Jackson, Miss.) 1859-1864, 1859-08-03
From the PennsylUaniar
President Pnlk's Viaws

On territorial popular sovereignty are very
plainly expressed in the following extract from
his last annual message to Congress:
The people of the acquired Territories
tChen assembled in convention TO form Stat<
constitutions, will possess the sole and conclu-
sve power to determine for themselves wheth.
er slavery shall or shall not exist within thei,
limits. If Congress shall abstain from inter.
fering with the question, the people Of the ter
ritories will be lett free to adjust it as they
may think proper achen they apply for adnais
sion as Seutes into the Cnf0n."
This was sound doctrine then, On 1s4S,
so long as the oonstitutiolF rsInai1s .ansiHHe!
ed; sorit Is the only doctrine on this subiec,
consistent with the Cons hutton. Il Is the
doctrine of the compromise measures Of 1850
of the Kansas-N Nebraska act of 1854, of the
national conventions of '52 and '56, of Presi.
dent Buchanan's Inaugural Address, Sill
mans letter and messages, and of the national
democracy Of the whole country.
These views of President Polk are in per.
feet harmony with those Of Henry Clay and
his colleagues in the Senate of 1850 as ex-
pressed in their report on the subject as fol-
lows:
"rhe true principle which ought to reeu-
late the act Of Congress in forming territori-
al government for each newly acquired do
main is to refrain from all legislation on the
subject of slavery m the territory acquired,
so long as it retains the territorial form Of gov.
ernment leaving it to the people of such ter
ritory. sahes they haze attained to such con-
ditioa i0hich entities them to admission as a
State, to decide for themselves the question Of
allowance or prohibition Of domestic slavery"
From all this, in connection with the decis-
Of the Supreme Court, substantially covering
the same point, there is no room for doubt as
to what is the true constitutional national
and Democratic doctrine in relation to the
time when the people of territory can, legal
ly and properly decide the question whether
the institution of slavery shall not exist
among them. 1t may not suit higher law and
squatter sovereign demagogues; but it will be
maintained by all who have patriotism enough
to stand firmly by the Constitution in all its
parts as the great sheet anchor Of our Union
