mittee selected to draft resolutions reported the
following: 80
Whereas This being meeting Of the citizens 81
Parishes of Point Coupee and Ayoyelies, irrespecg
tive of party differences, but OF men opposed to the
hostility of the Northern States evineed towards
US in the recent Presidential election, thereby en-
dangering us and our families by exciting to en-
nifty seryie population that exists among u.s.
and endeavoring to force us by aggression and
legislation to deprivation of our recognized
rights, as guaranteed to us by the Constitution
framed by our ancestors,
Resotoed lst, That slavery, as it exists among
us, is social and political blessing, sanctioned by
law both human and divine, and as such we regard
it to be vital feature of our Republican Institu-
tiens, and any expression Of opinion to the con-
trary among US is a crime of itself, and demands
our immediate and earnest attention.
Resotped, 2, That active cooperation with us all
is necessary to the preservation Of that peace
and harmony which should dwell among US,
thereby enabling US more efectually to protect
our families and our own firesides.
Resolped, 8, That we view with distrust the adj
and think it but due precauton to take such neces-
sary steps as may guard against any insidious at
tacks that may be directed against us.
Resol8ed, 4, That the exigeney of the times calls
lof lne US Oh DuOf0ugh ana eftl-
cient military corps through which we may be en-
abled to extend to ourselves and our neighbors
that certain protection which we think the times
demand.
ResoEued, s, That this is no hasty action but the
result of our deliberate convictions, and as such
we hope to act honestly, Justly and fearlessly,
holding ourselves amenable to our consciences
and the law of our State.
-ReSOtoed, 6, That we request aid Tin the equip
ment of our military company of our General As
sembly, which will soon convene, and when organ

AN INDISPENSABLE PROCEEDING.

We are sorry to see that the Baptists of Alabama
in general convention, have taken cognizance Of
the present political troubles of the country and
have passed resolutions and adopted an Address
which they have transmitted to the Governor of
the State. The Baptist Convention met for no such
purpose, but for religious purposes only. And in
thus transcending the limits of their authority, and
invading the arena Of politics, they are exposing
Themselves, in our opinion, to the just eensare of
| the people of the South.
There is nothing Objectionable in the resolutions
they have passed. On the contrary, they are wor-
thy Of all praise and of universal commendation.
It is tothe place in which they were proposed and
| the circumstances under which they were adopted
that we make objection, as being inappropriate for
everything else except the transaction of that
ecclesiastical business for which the convention
had assembled.
The pulpit, in the North, kas been the nursery
of all that fanatieal anti-savergism and pharsee-
ism which teaches men to Interfere with the cen.
Germs Of ether people which in wise affect them
From the time when the celebrated three thousand
Northern preachers sent into the Senate their pro-
Sest against the passage of the Nebraska BILL down
to the present day it has. been a source Of com.
plant with here at the South that politics had
entered into the puspits of the North, and men,
women and children, were taught FROM the sacred
desk 70 hate the people and the Institutions of the
Southern States. The South has always taken the
ground ttat politics were one thing and religion
another-1lat they had no connection with each
other, and on every account the civil and eseesi-
aseal afaitE of the nation should be kept distinct
and separate This was the spirit which prompted
Mr.. Jefferson to propose his celebrated bill for
ligious freedom, aud it is the onysa ground upon
which any community Of people can stand that are
divided up into different religious geets and per-
suasfons.
Now, then, the Baptists of Alabama have com.
mitted the very offence of which we complain to
the people of The North. They have gone beyond
the record and travelled out of their jurisdiction to
express their sentiments on the political affairs of
the country. The sentiments are noble, patriotic,
and In every respect commendahIs they could

The efforts of countryman to carry two pigs
under one arm, a coop full of chickens under the
other, and quart of eggs in his coat tail pocket
illustrated yesterday the folly Of having too many
irons in the fire at once. He dropped one of the
diminutive porkers which shot around the corner
like creased lightning. He laid the coop on the
turning victorious to find his other pig released by
the benevolent action of an old sow who upset the
coop and freed the prisoner. Imprisoning the
other in like manner he started in pursuit again,
and in the course of twenty minutes doomed up with
piggy No. under his arm. By this time No. l had
wiggled out and was gone again. whereat he was
SO much enraged that he sat down on the eggs nm
awares and smashed them. Deserving the truant
in neighboring street, he dashed after him, tnm.
bed over gutter plate and broke his shins, and
regained his equilibrium just in time to see both of
his poreine tormentors disappear under barn
with tiirt Of their short tails. Vending his way
sorrewfully back to the COOP he arrived in time to
sec the last of his bddies disappear over picket
fence in the distance, released by the mischief of
malicious boys, who sat on the curbstone and
asked him what he was looking for. When last
seen he was using his best endeavors to trade the
adverse circumstances

MORE OF THE EFFECTS.

The subjoined extracts from letters recently
received in this city, still further illustrate the
disastrous effects upon the manufacturing and
commercial interests of the North, produced by
the election of Lincoln to the Presidency. These
extracts are from private letters written with no
view TO publication, and we therefore suppress
names-but they are authentic, and they go to
show to what an injurious extent those who sowed
the wind are now reaping the whirlwind.
