At the expiration of this tirme the *Couvention resumed its sitting. n1nd eGen.

Mr. NitrboLsoN and Mr. Bnown of -'nnessee, members of the Committee, expressedl their acquiescence in the maui iest desire of'tho Convention to take the . Vote yitihout debate, but expressed their ueltermination to lay their opinions befot e their constituents as to Ihe report, in which they did not agree. As members of the Committee, they thought it proper to give 1.his ntlice, lest their course in the Con - litteo should be misunderstood. Mr. 1)11. nelsun, one of the mneliers of the Ten. hceseo Delega ion, then rose ohviopsly to mnake a speech for the galleries. le was called to order, when lie denonced{ the enft rceutent of order on himt as as 'sIm1iwurthy the Convention,' IN, was obviously much excited.

If the non-slavehellditig States. who are parties to that compact, disregarded its pro visions and endanger our peace and exis. tence by united and delib 'rate action. we have a right, ns States, there being no conmnon arbiter, to secede. The object of those who are urging on the Federal Govermnient il its nggressive policy upon our domestic institutions is, beyond nil doubt, finally t>. overthrow ther, and abolish the existing relation between the tmaster and slave. We feel anuthorized to assert this from their own declarations, and from the history of events in this coun try for the last few years. To abolish slavery or the slave trade in the District of Coluinia--to regulate the sale and transfer of slaves between the States-to exclude slaveholders with their propoerty from the Territories-to admit Ccalifornia under the circunstances of the case we hold to he all parts of the same sys. toni of imeasures and subordinate to the end tile: liva in view, which is openly avowed to he, the total overthrow of the inst itution. \V snake no agriresive move.

The Cincinnati Enquirer thus coolly nd complacently records the way the Pugitivo law works in that city. Each now instance but confirms our original statement that the bill would prove a railure: AN ATTEMPT.....On Monday last, a nan named Almon, living in the neigh.. iorhood of Cynthiana, Ky., came to our ity in search of a slave that had run away since the Fugitive slave bill be. :aore a law. When he cane, he ap. rlied to an oflicer to hunt him up, sromtising the officer one hundred dollars n case he succeeded. Well, the offi. :ers, accompanied by Almon. heard that he slave was cook in the Wacousta [ouse, to which place they proceeded; rad when they arrived there, they found t company of darkies engaged in lancing. The owner of the runaway pointed ris property out to the officers, throgh he window of the building, and in the rpresentatives of the law went to arrest rim. It was an undertaking much asier suggested than accomplished, for vben the officers laid hands upon the larkey. his friends and associates moved ,otlh him and the slave-hunters outside he doors in quick time. Finding that t was useless to make another atternpi o rocover his property, with the small brce he had, Mr. Almon and the offi. ers came back, and the darkey, no oubt, mlade an immediate escape. I i is not now on his road to Canada, he s safely ensconced in the house of some holition friend, who, if we judge right. y, has but slight scruples in what ie oes in that line.

Thegood seed sown at thephilanthtopic assemblage of rogues and runaway ne groes, which recently in New York, laid down a platform for the Southern branch of their party, to wit, our slaves, has borne somo fruit already. Many masters will soon, perhaps, have the privilege of furn ishing arms and horses to their slaves, wherowith to secure that greatest of human blessings-Liberty. On Monday evening last a son of Mr. Alexander Campbell, of Manchesterwas on a hunting excursion & about three-fourths of a mile from that place, passed a negro who was sitting by'thie road side knd whose manner, together with the fact of his having with him a parcel of meat and some extra articles of clothing, excited the lad's curiosity. In answer to some questions the negro told him that lie was hired to a gentleman in the neighborhood ;,md had gone that morning to havs : :,oth pulled by a physician and l5 returning had missed his way, and that haing lost s much time, he was afiaid to go bick to his master. Some hour or io afterwards, as the youth was sitting catel 'sly on his horse, watch ing for gane and being, at the time, near where he hade ed the negro, he was without ,any . monition, yA ground b b . top of the head, of which was relaxed on the groan d' glh partially stuannod' lie retained uffic&ientl consciousness to perceive the negro, to whom he had previ ously spoken, snatch up the gun, mount the horse and ride hvstily awayv The lad, who was not seriously injured, hurried home and told hiii tale, and a small party we'nt immediately in pursuit. They met the horse returning, and, on pursuing thc trail, found whero the negro had dismount ed and turned into the swamp. lHe may have abandoned the horse on account of his latneness, or he may have taken him, in the first instance, merely to prevent pur suit by the yo. 's. The gun, winsch was new and valuable had two barrn both of which were loaded. Withml this to assist him in procur ig food, and perhaps, in resisting any attempt at capture, lhe may "succeed in reaching somne or those miult itudirions cities of refuge which stud our Northern coasts and then his tale of valorous feats in his struggles for liberty will assuredly make him the special object of that Hlero.worship to which our faithful and "law-abiding" allies are so munch addicted. TtnE lESENT SEssiON OF 'InE LE;ISL.A 'TUnE is to bo otne of the most important that has transpired for manmy years. The people of South C'arolinia hsave surrenidered to it the keeping of their honor. It is to take counnel concerning the dlangers4 thatd beset us and the wbongs that we ha~ve received, and is to determine upon the mode and measure of redress. Placed in the vain of the great resistance snovement, bsy a desti ny, which she could not control, t he eyes of thme whole Country are turned upon South Carolina, to b~ehiold what action shall be taken by her Legislature in I his emnergency No one, who knows her, can doubt what that action will be. Blesides this, there remains other business of importance to be attended to by the Legislature. It is to make choic e of one, who shall fill the G ub erniatorial chair, supply thme vacancies, occa sionied by the death of Chancellor Caldwell and Judge Richardsotn and is to gothrough thme forum of electing a United States Sena tor. It conivenedl on Monday the 28th int, but as yet we have received no accoutnt oh its proceed ings. Nba.s. Lauaagdoaa Chaeves. This great man has again spoken.

Having no dosigna ulterior to the good of the country, it is destined' to effect a revolution in the son timents of its people, wherever a sense ol honor remains, and wherever truth has no: lost Its power over, or virtue its hold upon the hearts of men. Ile concludes thus: In conclusion, I pray God, in his merci ful providence, to release the faculties of Southern men fron the awful torpor which so utterly benumbs them, to disperse their delusions, to inspire them with some love of country, to endue them with some self respect, with some sense of honor, some fear of shame and degradation. If he shall, in his goodness and mercy, so do, we shall not much longer deliberate, but act with the spirit of men, of freemen, as a band of brothers, as men who know their rights and dare maintain them. The south can hardly overrate its strength when it shall be unit: ed. It is no boast to say you are equal to your enemy in arms, and you have to give or withhold, what will secure you alliances in war or peace, when you shall desire ei ther. Unite and you will scatter your ens iies as the Autumn winds do the fallen leaves. Unite, and your slave property shall be protected to the very border of Mason and Dixon's line. Unite, and the free:soilers shall, at their per:, be your police to prevent the escape of your slaves; California shall be a slave State; the dis. membered territory of Texas shall be re. stored, and ynn shall enjoy a full partic. ipation in all the territory which was conquered by your olood and treasure. Unite, and you shall form one of the most splendid empires on which the sun ever shone, one of the most homogeneous popu lation, all of the same blood and lineage, a soil the most fruitful and a climate the most lovely. But submit-submit! The very sound curdles the blood in my veins. But, 0 Great God, onite us, and a tale of submission shall never be told! Price's Poems. We have just been presented with a copy of the above, which, ,we understand, are from the pen of our neighbor of the Camden Journal. We have been struck, more than once, with the spirit and ability disilayed in the editorials of the Journal which, although conceived in prose, we regarded as being far from prosy-but had received no intimation, until the present, that our brother was wont to invoke " the Nine." It is seldom that any thing of the kind makes its appearance now-a-days; so prevalent has that spirit become, which loves no music bu e- r~ and oeructive is it of poetry. Indeed, romance flees before the feet of limo, lika mist before thevising son;amnd the domains ra fact are so goeroaching upon thoeof F~aney, that the conceptions um tho-latter, when compared with the realities of the formner, begin meo duwindhe into Iusignificance. The candidates for eight dollars per diem and neoinstructive romleage" far outnmtn. ber those, who nre candidates for the similes and favors of Cio, &c.- and wvitha some showv of reason may it be so, for the perquisites of a scat in Congress are much more tangible than are those of "the seat of the Muses." Folks aver, that, time spent in making money, is much more agreeable and profitably employed, than in mak)ing poetry. Verily ! it will soon come to pass, that the mention of Mount Parrassus will only be suggestive of summer retreats; and an allusiona to thme Pierian ~Springs serve but to elicit an uobservation: as to the eilica. cy of sulphur ,caler. Now we deprecate such a state of things. We long for a recturrenco of those pahntty old days, wvhenm thte burden of minsitrelsy -'Vas knigthmood, dlautimless deced and beauty ', mactneye.", And yet we are no poet. I leavens know. we are not ! For even were we disposed to be one, and even were we visited by tht "celestial fire," thereoare thmose, wvhost names are suggestive of a fire of a somi whlat different nature-to w it, our diabolica retainers-to whom we have surrendered in a great measure, onr powvers of volition and whmo, we are confidlent, would not htea oif such a thitng. For this reason, wi opinte the poiems~ in quiestionm were writter before the Auathor's ears had h's- e:.*. famil iar wvithm that soul-Itarrowing cry, "Cop; Sir." We have had time to bestow but cursory glance'upon these efl'usions of Mm Patmer, and, therefore, are nmot prepared preet, to pass our opinin upon theci merit. In the mtean time Mr. Paircz. Somthern birth and well known Souther principales shouild recommend him to th public. rThe volune is very neatly houm and would make quite an cornammenmt for ceintre-table. For sale by J. T'.

Cheves carried the day. t A few years after the peace, the Bank of I the United States became embarrassed' and Mr Cheves was called to its Presiden cy. Under his able and honest administra tion, the institution resumed its credit, and prospered. And Mr. Cheves retired to pri vate life, in South Carolina, where lie has 1 since uistinguished himself for his skill, en- c orgy, ar.d success as a planter. On the death of Air.

When, however, his neighbors called on him to represent them at the Nashville 1 Convention, he did not decline. And he is there, the Nostor of the old Republican a party It is a remarkable fact, that among the foremost of those who oppose the recent aggression and spoliation of the Fed.ral Government, are so many of the survivors of the race of statesmen and patriots of the last generation. Gov. Tazewell, Langdon Cheves, and the distinguished author of - several articles which have appeared in this paper with the signature of, "A North ern man and a friend to the Union"-men who have retired with renown from public life,--men whose fame, property and age ( forbid all suspicion of sinister motives, or ' undisciplined passions. It may do for politicians and editors who h have forsaken their fomer principl -s-or a for those who have not acquired any, to da nounce and vilify the groat movement now going on at the South, but it has a moral strength of character, and a momentum of - argument. A mass of property and a mul titude of people, which in the great cause of constitutional right, cannot be crushed. Events are moving on towards dissolu tion-that bourne from which the Union cannot return. There is, we trust, yet time for the Southern States to intervene to take umeir stand-or rather to maintain n their stand, to bear back aggression--to ( reform and to save the Union.
