A STATE CONVENTION.

A writer in the Nashville Gazette
urges the Importance of holding Con-
sentative Convention in this State at an
early day, for the purpose OF nominating
a candidate for Governor. Let us, he
saws. hold once more grand State Con-
yention for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for Governor; and let us lay
down and reassert as the first plank in
our platform the first section of the first
article of our State Constitution, That
all mower is inherent in the people, and
all free governments are founded on
their authority" as second plank the
9Th section, THAT no free man shall be
taken or imprisoned or disseized of his
free hold, liberties or privileges-but by
the Judgment Of his peers or the law OF
the land !" and as third plank the 18th
section, "That laws made for the pun
;sbment of acts committed previous to
the existence of such laws, and by them
only declared criminal, are contrary to
the principles offree government; where
fore no CT post .tactO law shall be

AMERICA no PLACE FOR FOOLS.

In a lecture lately delivered before the
London Farmers Club, Mr. JAMES How
ARD, the well known manufacturer OF I'M
plements of Bedford, England, made the
following pointed remarks concerning
his experience in a recent visit to the
United States He said he had been
profoundly impressed with the happiness,
prosperity, energy, intelligence and self
government of the American people.
He wondered that so many people are
willing to remain in the Old World, with
out a chance to rise, with hardly chance
to exist. If the United States was
crowded as England is, the population
would be nearly thousand millions. In
reply, however, to the question whether
he thought large and opulent farmers
would do well to send ont their sons to
America, he remarked that one of the
first memoranda which he made in his
diary after seeing the United States was,
that IL pas no use to send a TOOL TO
America.

ruf POWER OF THE SOUTH.

The New York World, a journal that
.ov many kind things OF the South, re-
ferripg 10 its achievements IN the war.
says a more resoloie putting forth OF
moral and physical energy has never
been witnessed. The Greek contempt
raries Of MlLnApES, the Roman contem'
norariss of scIrlo, the English contem-
noraries of .CnoMwkLL, did not exhibit
higher inirepidity or more heroic ardor'
We of the North discredit our own yaior
when we disparage or belittle that oil the
South. Our endless muster-rolls' our
colossal debt, our summoning the negroes
10 our aid, are satire upon our man
hood, unless the enemy who Sc long with
stood us an enemy so inferior IN num-
hers and every military .esourcc---was
endowed with great qualities. TO deny
them the credit of their manly virtues on
the ground that they were Shareholders
would reverse all the judgments OF his
tory. The men who fought at Marathon
and Thermopyle were slayeholders' the
larons who extorted Magma Charia from
King JOHN we're Shareholders 1t is not
because the Southern people were slave
holders, but because they did not sue
coed. that they will not occupy bright
page in history. But whatever may be
their merits or dement's, it is natural
that comiug out of a struggle SO siren
nous. with bafied hopes and ruined for
tunes, they should desire repose.

RREAn VS.. COTTON.


The Richmond Times, discussing the
subject of bread and cotton, says I've
suppose it will be conceded on all sides
that food is more necessary than either
raiment or shelter IL this proposition
be denied we eau point TO men who have
lived to a very old age without any other
shelter than the canopy Of heaven. And
we can also instance whole tribes Of
savages, to prove thst men can do with
ont clothes. But can it be shown that
any one has ever existed long with
ont foodY Hardly. It is the first great
necessity Of man II is for; food, which
is now driving the people of the South
TO abandon to precariOus effort to raise
cotton by the free labor of freed
men," and to devote their lands to grain
culture and stock raising. Whenever
Tread becomes problem with a pesple,
this probIem will FIRST be solved to the
exclusion Of every other, and the people
Of the South are but obeying an instinct
of selfpreservation when they neglect
cotton for the cereals When the pine
logs Of a Southern forest have furnished
a cabin g he man -= ..o-s sEERNAS S
