to the call for convention to he held a
Nashville on the 10th inst. 4. Dawson was

retary, when, on motion Col. N. Brandon in
short but appropriate speech, explained th,
object of the meeting and, on motion, com
mittee, consisting of Col. N. Brandon, Maj.
]. P. Flood, Hon. J. NJ. Scarborough, Jno. l.
McNillon, Esq. and A. B. Ross were by the
Chairman appointed to draft resolutions and
report delegates to attend said convention.
and after a short absence reported to the

were unanimously adopted:
Resolved: That we approve Of the call
lately made by the conservative members OF
the Legislature, for a convention to be held
in Nashville, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for Governor
Resoiped: That while we disapprove of
the laws DISTINGUISHING portion Of the ciii-
zcns of our State, we will, in good faith,
abide by, and uphold all the laws made by
our Legislature, whether we approve them or
not, as we believe TO be our duty as citizens
of the United States.
Resolrd: That, while our Legislature has
thought proper, in its wisdom to eniranchise
the blacks. We think it did that class injus-
;ice in Withholding from them. the right to
sit on iuries and to hold office. because the
one implies the other and we think if a man
is qualified to vote he should be qualified to
hold office and sit on juries, and, under the
circumstances, we are in favor Of universal
suffrage, because by that means all classes
will more readily harmonize and best pro-
mote the welfare of the country.
Resolred: That we would recommend to
the convention the Hon. Dorsey B. Thomas
rs a candidate for the Office of Governor; /;
hut pledge ourselves to support the nominee
of the convention.

ted to attend said convention: w. l.. Dunbar,

THE DEruscT CosoREss.-The Washing.
ton correspondent of the Baltimore ca.
zette writes thus Of the thirty ninth Con-
gress:
For combined audacity, rascality, malieni.
", ianatlcism and total want Of every e.
sential OF statesuianship, 1t stands unrivaled
In all historic time. II may have had an
equal in the quality Of fhnaticism Ia the
kump Parliament Of England, but that body
had the paliaiing Virtue of honesty. la
audacity, mnlighity and ferocious pursuit
merely Of rrostrate opponents, 1t may have
been riyaled BY The National Assembly Of
France in Robesrierres time, but It was
without the excuse of danger, and without
the stimulus Of patriotism, which undoubt-
ediy actuated that frienzied emblage.

King George and King Radical.
From the N. Y. Express.

From the N. Y. Express.
1t is hardly necessary to recall what has
been done in Louisiana by the military com.
mander placed there, ard approved by the
Secretary of War, under the military recon
structon bill. The authority, for this use
and abuse of power was grauted by Con-
gress. and Congress is, Of course, responsible
for the conversion Of ten States into five des-
poiisms, and for all the evil consequences to
liberty and justice to flow from this act
Such acts, however, impress us deeply with
the order of events in the early history
of the republic. They carry us back to
King George and the declaration Of Ameri-
can Independence-a state paper for which
Radicals profess very great reverence, but to
the real terms and meaning of which they
pay very little respect. The charges made
against the British King were thus, in part,
recorded:
He has refused to pass laws for the ACCOM-
modation of large districts of people, unless
those people would relinqush the right OF
representation in. the Legislature-a right
nestimable to them, and formidable to ty-
rants only.
He has made Judges dependent on his
will also for the term of their office, and
the amount and payment of their salaries.
lie has erected multitude of new Of
flices, aud sent hither swarms of officers, to
hprass our people and eat out their sub
stance.
He has kept among u.s. in time of peace,
standing armies without the consent of our
Legislatures.
He has affected to render the military
Independent OF, and superior To-, the civil
power.
He has combined with others TO subject us
TO a jurisdiction foreign to our constitu-
ton and unacknowledged by our laws, giving
his assent to their pretended acts Of legisla-
ton
For quortering large bodies of troops
among us.
For imposing taxes on us without our
consent.
For depriving us, in many cases of the
right Of trial by jury.
For taking away our charters and abOl-
ishing our most valuable laws and alter
ing fundamentally the forms of our govern
ments.
For suspending our own Legislatures, and
declaring themselves invested with full
power TO legislate for us in all cases whatso-
ever.
And il was forcibly added that "a prince
whose character is thus marked by every
act which may define a tyrant is unfit to be
the ruler of a free people"
Now, every one of these several declara-
tions appear as if written for our own day
and time. They are painfully applicable TO
the condition OF the South, TO the action of
Congress, and to the eternal principles Of
truth. The more we think of what Con-
gress hns done, the more We feel amazed that
so many Of our people silently lock on,
while the precepts and example Of our faith
ers are thus trampled in the dust.

AN APPEAL.
"roR I WAS AN BUSGEREp."

Hark hear re not that bitter wail7
A nations heart tlirobs wild,with dread
For, trembling on each Southern gale,
Goes up the quivering cry for Jreadl
A thousand pleading eyes I see
A Thousand pleading voices come
And pleading thousands bend the knee.
Where lips themselves are pale and dumb
Breadl for mother or child
They sink, they faintl and must they die :?
Oh God the brain and heart 20 wild,
Beneath this fearless agony.
We thought our cup of woe ran Ger
With sorrows, wars red hand had made,
Besides the victims at her door,
Must those of hunger now be laid?
Across gulf of blood and tears,
From grief.pressed hearts out-wellinp, .
With nations woes and fears.
This anguished cry is swelling.
And ye who have the power to aid,
To loose the burthens which they bear;

Ye heard untouched their grief-born
prayer2
Is there no one TO feel their woe,
In all this plenty-teeming land
NO kindly hand whence help may flow,
To nourish that desparing. Rand'
By your own beating human hearts,
Constraining to this work of love;
Ard every throb which life imparts,
And every wish for bliss above.
Oh brothers, sisters of the North
BY every blessing God h,s given,
Rise to the work, in strength go forth,
And help them, as you hope for heaven.

NUMBER 80.

General Wade Hampton, Of South Caro-.
lima, defines his position on the suffrage Ques-
ton in very plain and concise Language
He says:
al am willing to give the right Of suf-
mage to all who can read and pay certain
amount of taxes and agree that all, white
as wei as black, who does not possess these
qualifications shall be excluded. would
not take this right from any who have here
iofore exercised il, but wish to see an edu.
cational aud property qualification for voters
adopted for the future. Let this 4ualiical
lion bear on white and black alike, and while
1t will cut or from voting some of both
races, II will be strong inducement to all
to seek education and to obtain for them
selves a real and tangible interest in tho
State. II VIII serve to elevate all Classes.
and contribute not only to the material
prosperltysof tie State, bui to the increase
Of virtue and Of education among her peol

DAN. Rtcr.-Dan. Rice has written and
published an account of his late Southern
tour which Is vert Lhti Radical. In con-
clndng it he says:
I have no political object in view, have
no pecuniary Interests to subserve. Fortune
has so far aided my efforts that am indie
pendent, aud am actuated solely by a desire
to see the country restored to a happy condi.

that Congress has been misled, and IL the
honorable Senators and Representatives knew
what know through my personal expert
ences, in the South during the winter Just
passed, their views would be modified In re-
gard TO the need of expensive military es-
tablishment there, which would prove an In.
'olerable burden upon Northern States, an
unnecessary irritant upon the great national
sore, and which may lead to chronic dis
arrangement of the best government the

FAST FREIGHT LISEs--The Legislature Of
Ohio has under consideration a bill abolish
ishing fast freight lines on nil railroads in
that State, and the merchants Of Cincinnati
are in favor of It, as il will do away with
companies who do not own car nor foot
of road nor possess a dollar Of capital except
that invested in Office furniture and station
cry. Such security is not valuable TO their
employers. Snch organizations are only
leeches upon the stockholders OF the rail-
roads, aud furnish no facilities that are not
offered by the roads themselves. If the bill
passes ii will not ony benefit Ohio, but in.
directly the neighhoring States.
