Says the Boston Advertiser of the 10th
inst:
1.-THE meeting of yesterday recalls the
memory of another general meeting held
now nearly a century ago, when the people
of Savannah showed their interest in our
common country by their contributions to
the necessities of Boston. When the Port
Bill reduced Boston to the state almost of
besieged town, SO that the mechanics and
seamen had no means of earning their bread,
the people of Savannah, with those of all
the rest of the country, came to her relief.
On the 10th of August, IVA, at general
meeting of the inhabitants of Georgia at
Savannah, committee was appointed to
receive subscriptions for the suffering poor
of Boston. A letter dated Savannah, Dec.
0, IVA, says: There are large donations Sf
rice for the sufferers in Boston, and had we
the means of sending it to them, with very
little trouble much more would be collected
and sent. Few have subscribed less than
ten tierces of rice The rice was sent to
New York, sold there and the proceeds,
f2l6 0s. 3D., were remitted to the Boston
committee, and by them applied to the re-
lief OF the poor here. The oligarchy at
Richmond which has held Savannah out in
the cold for four years, is Government as
oppressive to her and as foreign as was that of
Lord North which tried TO starve the Boston
of 1774. 1t would be easy to follow along
the parallel between the condition of Boston
then and that of Savannah before she was
relieved by Sherman - - AA

Hon, GEORGE II. PENDLEToN, In his late
speech on the proposed amendment to the
( Constitution of the United States, used this
language:
But Mr.. Speaker, If / were infuencedby
the motives which gentlemen on the other
side attribute to me, 1t would be easy for
me to fall into the current Of public opin-
ion, which Is carrying them so rapidly
away. 1t is because am not that occupy
the position do to-day. The time is fast
passing away, when, under the influence OF
your policy and your legislation, the South
ern States or people will have the least in
terest In your laws. Your legislation has
turned to ashes the golden fruits OF your
military success. Your policy has verified
the alleged causes of secession. Gentle
men must not be misled by the siren voices
that come up to them from captured cities
of the South. They woo you but to ruin.
II You misunderstood them, they will lead
you, as willing victims, upon quicksands
and rocks.
If you drive the Southern people by your
military power, to the last extremity, and
superadd, as the majority Of the House de-
sire, emancipation of slaves, confiscation OF
property, destruction OF local Governments,
destruction of State Constitutions, division
OF territory-if that be your policy, they
will liberate their slaves, they will arm their
negroes, they will break down the only bar
rier that separates them from the sympa-
thies of all Europe, and, aided by the NOR
al force, If not the material power of Eu-
rope, they will establish their independence,
and your Union President will sign the
treaty of dissolution. And then, in ex-
change for tree Maryland, with her slaves
enfranchised and her white citizens enslav-
ed; in exchange for free Missouri, with her
slaves enfranchised and her white citizens
decimated by the vengeance of the guer-
rilas, we will have given up this Union
with all its benefits, and have subverted
form of government, the fairest and freest
the most bountiful in blessings of the past,
and the most hopeful of blessings in the fu-
ture, that God in His mercy ever vouchsaf-
ed to man.
The foregoing expresses our views ex-
actly.

The r,estiny of Nations.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer has bestowed
some study upon ''the Destiny of Nations
1t tells its readers that ''grand and sublime
is the study of the history of nations
From this "grand and sublime" study il
draws the following flattering horoscope
for our country;
Egypt was one of the most powerful ma
tions of the earth, but her history perished
with her greatness-gone too is Roman
pomp and Grecian glory, and the sceptre OF
Spain has fled. Macedon has found no sec
ond Alexander, Persia has lost the race OF
Cyrus; Europe, Asia and Africa have been
divided, sub divided and partitioned into
petty principalities and kingdoms of a
dozen paltry villages, till their histories are
SO interviewer that to trace the history OF
one, those of dozen must be considered.
But new world was discovered and with
its history began new order of things. IL
may be intended for Europe to be divided
and sub-divided, but America, never. One
flag is destined to float from the frozen
waters of the Arctic sea t. the tepid gull,
and from the New Found Land to the gold
Ell sands of the Pacific coast"
If our country can stand the wrenching
that the Secessionists and Abolitionists are
giving it now, the foregoing may be accept
ed as accurate.

thinks there is no doubt that the present
condition of the Southern fortunes and the
consequent condition of the Southern mind,
is eminently suited to make wise and ju-

misfortune is, that the party in power is not
likely to give countenance to "a wise and
