The spirit in the seuth.

In reference to the course Of the seeding
delegates at the Charleston Convention, the
New Orleans Delta of the ID inst. says:
There is no need for them to entertain any
doubts of the manner in which their constitu~
eats will receive the news of their action. They
will not be required to defenl their course or
Justify their acts before a disappointed or un-
sympathizing people. The demonstrations of
| joy exhibited by the CharIestonians, the con-
gratulations offered to the seeding delegates
for their manly and determined course, their
firm and impressive attitude, are only Premon-
itory indications of the electrical effect which
tie receipt of the intelligence will produce
throughout the South.
And lays down the following programme:
Let there be three candidates, nominee of
the Charleston Rump, candidate of the Con-
stitutioDsl party, supported By the whole South,
and Black Republican candidate and pre-
vided each gets the vote of one or more States
less than a majority, the election must 90 into
the House, and if the COnstitutionahsts cannot
win there, they have little hope of ever tri
umpbiDR in the Presidential contest The
chief apprehension would grow out Of the
desperate state of the Rump candidate. There
would be reason TO fear he might not carry q
single State, and thus would be ruled off the
track

- No. r.nrlr ConHention.

The dele gates to the Constitutional Union p"
Convention at Baltimore met on Wednesday.
Delegates from most Of the States are said to
be present The eouue to be pursued by this
combination of the odds and ends Of politioal
parties, is unknown to outsiders, and the only
point upon which the Convention itself was
united, aeemed 10 be that Of opposition to the
other parties. The Hon. Washington Hunt Of
n. Y, advanced the brilliant idea that the ques'
lion which is now dividing the democratic
party, is " miserable abstraction" and the
Convention at once rewarded Mr. u. BY ap-
pointing him President
Erastus Brooks, Of the New York Express
gave the Convention bis views upon party
platforms, and committee was appointed to
prepare business for the Convention, when the
meeting adjourned.
Yesterday the Convention adopted a plat
form, and nominated John Bell, of Tennessee
on the second ballot Considerable discussion
previous to the ballOtting, developed nothing

Ths slave Trade.

The Charleston correspondent of the New
York Tribune gives the following facts in rela-
ton 70 the case Of the SLAYER "wandsrer," at
Savannah, Ga. Il will be seen that this sys.
tematic iOlatiOu Of the law is not alone the
work Of few indiVidusls eager for gain and
reckless Of the means employed. The boast Of
Gaulden, of Ca, that he had slaves "dirsct
from Africa" on his plantations, is confirmed
and il iS Shown that dozens of others in that
and other State could with truth make the
same assertion The TEibunS's correspondent
says;
On last Tuesday May ~ "Challisp Lamar
Mr.. Stiles, and others, went to the Ohstham
County Jail, VIII re Capt. Farnham was con-
6ned. overpovered the Jailor, and released the
ptsouer The party then went down 10 the
Pulaski House, where some twenty or thirty
Of their friends we're awaiting them, end the
Captain was warmly congratulated upon his
escape.
The United States District Attorney having
heard of the rescne, soon came 10 the hotel
accompanied by the jailOr, deputy, and United
States Marshals. The District Attorney sag
Rested that it was his duty to direct re-arrsst;
70 which Mr.. Stiles replied that ''no officer
should lay hands upon the Captain" As be
had kired his man not long since-the otfensC
being that the murdered man had eontradicteo
Stiles when making a political speech Ibis
threat was not to be despised. So the officers
concluded that the arrest was impEactieable
and the District Attorney declared that he
would hold the jsior responsible No one
seemed to think th't the Captain would eyel
be arrested again-muoh less convicted. The
whole history of the WandereE caae, so far as
heard it,inJicates q determination on the part
of Lamar and his party to carry on their lata'
nous traffic in spite Of the laws, The lat'
charge of the Court in that city legalizes tbs
trade, but those concerned in it do not ear'
whether it is forbidden or not.
Some OF the citizens are much chagrined a
Lamar's course, hut his fist and pistol ar'
arguments no one is willing to Ell counter ThI
rabble follow after him, and he does as h'
pleases.
NV informant-in whose veracity have
oonfdence-says dozens Of csrgOes have beer
landed in Mississippi and Louisiana within tn
last year. When the Wan1erer first C lme t
Savannah, the negroes were taken to Planta
ton near the city-ths white superintendent
having been dismissed, so that there should b
no one to testify against the parties if dlscoV
ered-and buyers came from all adjoining
States. These flcts were well known In Sa
vannah at the time, but public sentiment is s
5emoralized that no steps were taken to expos
the outrage.

Doctor GraysOn.

Doctor +. W. GIayson, one of the Pennsyl-
vann delegates to the Union" Convention at
baltimore, has an original way of treating evils
Of the body polite Frederick (for by that
name he is knOWn,) was delivered Of this plan
at the meeting of the Convention on Wednes~
day. lie is evidently confident that evils exist,
and he has an indistinei idea that they proceed
in some manner from the institution of slavery.
His diagnosis of the case has not been very
searching; indeed, we are inclined to the opin-
ion that be belongs to the progressive" school,
which trusts not so much to troublesome inves-
LEGATIONS as to the efficacy of the remedies
employed Far better, more efFestual. and at
tended by less trouble than the old methods Of
getting and purging, is the plan proposed by
Dr. Frederick. He sees the cancer which
sfflicts the body polite, but he is not "gOing
into the subject of its nature. Why should
bei Is not one of the principal excelencies of
his programme found in the fact that it removes
the necessity Of such a proceeding He
knows that it is obstructive issue," and is
convinced that something should be done. He
therefore propOses-in view Of the existence
of the evil, and to meet the Decessity for a
remedy-to let it alone ignore it as an unclean
thing Is not the great question of the day
answered!
DR.. GraysOn is not possessed of talents which
have made him shining light in the political
frmsment in times past; but as the develop
ment OF his plan was received with so much
favor in the Baltimore Convention. and az il
is precisely the one adopted by that astute
body, 1t Is of interest to those who watch the
signs. The Convention is innocent of knowl-
edge of one ]. Buchanan, and his dislike Of
agitation" Grayson's plan is new to the

The Crop Prospects.

The Adrian (Mich.) WstshtOwer Of satuI>
day, says: Fruit trees of all sorts are assum'
ing the glory Of full bloom, a condition that
was materially retarded by the cold of last
week, much to the advantage of fruit prospects,
though perhaps injurious to few trees that
had already put out blossoms. All appear
ances now indicate bOuntiiul crop.
Farm work is now progressing with immense
strides. Set back somewhat by the 'long
spell" Of wet weather, It now "sll comes in a
! heap aud team and plOw, and spade, an hoe,
are everywhere busily employed. he faTme RS
are sowing in hope, with a present very fair
prospect Of truthful year. The blooming
| fruit trees give pleasing promise Of an abund
ant Weld, unless some untOward blight shall
yet betide them. The heavy frosts of few
days since may have destroyed some of the
earlier varieties, but there is an abundance yet
left Portage Co. Dem.
The crops in Lorain county are very prOmisN
ing. Wheat looks very fine, and in most Of
the townships there is promise of an abund-
ance of fruit The late frOsts have injured
peaches in the south part of the county, but
there will be, we think, fair crop. During
the next ten days there will be thousands Of
acres of corn planted if the weather continues
favorable.
We stated in our last that the recent frostE
that have beer experienced in this vicinity, had
,aat sninrad tha fruit That statement was,
perheps, little premature, as we since learn
that cherries, at least, have been somewhat
injured. 1t is possible that peaches have also
been injured, but of this we have not hearG.-
| LNorwalk Reflector.
In Richland county, peaches are badly inN
jured, but there may be not less of a crop than
there was last year. Cherries are hurt some,
but this is not the case all over the county. At
present the prospect is good for apples, and
should nothing intervene, an abundant crop
may be expected. We are persuaded that the
wheat crop, so far as our observation has ex-
tended, looks fully as we'll as it did this time
last year, Mansfield Herald.
In Union county it is said the prospect for
good crops of wheat, is very astsering at this
time.

A Man Robbed and Spirited away from His

A Man Robbed and Spirited away frOm His
Friend.
The Cincinnati Gazette gives the following
account of a singular occurrence in that city
on Tuesday night last:
A German named Gaterlsth has been, until
the past few days, living in Green county, Ind,
al cane to this city in search Of employment.
Four hundred and fifty dollars had been in
trusted to him for the purpose of delivery to
certain parties residing here. When Gaterleth
arrived in town he stopped at a house on Front
street, near Butler, and with the money upon
his person be left the house last evening, con-
trary to the advice of friend, for the purpose
going to the theater The next seen Of him
was on the square, lying on the pavement in
senseess condition, rendered so from the effects
of a wound on the left temple and stab in
the right side. The truth flashed upon his
friend in 4 minute, and feeling for the wallet
which contained the money, discovered it
gone. His friend then hailed an eX press wagon
and preparing a litter, ordered the driver to
convey the wounded man to the Commercial
Hospital. promising to follow himself quickly
as possible. But when the friend Of Gaterleth
reached the Hospital, be was surprised to learn
that nothing had been seen either of the pa
tent or of the express wagon. Search wEs
instituted, but up to IL o'clock nothing could
be learned concerning his whereabouts, or what
disposition had been made of him.

THE WRONG TREE.-The New York Herald
furnishes to its readers very good editorials
There are seldom to be found in any one of its
homilies more than two or three defects, ard the
character of these is 50 uniform that the soon
slant reader'' viii soon become accustomed to-
and recognize them immediately. ltmanifests
a refreshing freedom from regard for truth in
the statement of its premises; its argument is
made with pleasing disrespect for the "musty
rules of. Locke and Bacon, Antiquated fools p
and its conclusions are put forth in manner
showing that facts in its hands are not ''stuo'
born things" When these little eecentricities
are guarded against, the HeraId's edi orials can
not fail to be instructive and amusing to those
who are curious to observe the potent influence
of lucre in controlling James Gordon Bennett s
political affections.
The Herald's 'leader" on the affair of the
Rev. J. s. Harden, lately sentenced to be hung
for poisoning his wife, is fair specimen of this
style of writing. It charges the crime upon the
alleged abolition sentiments of Harden. It
has been eOnelusively proved that Harden was
Democrat, and never voted any other than tbs
regular ticket of the faithful"
