DeBow of the Census Bureau, the Chairman of a Committee appointed under a resolution of the Convention, bus published an address to the Southern people, setting forth the object* of the Convention, and calling upon the Executives of the several Stntcs ; Mayors of cities ; Boards of Trade ; Agricultural association", <?c; to appoint full delegations. with the assurance that ample arrangements will be made for their accommodation. The address sets forth the fact, that the product* of the South, form four-fifths of the Commerce of the nation ; and one-half of thnt trade which has given Great Britain the Commercial control of the world ; and thnt it is high time tliut the South should avail herself of these rosour ccs; enould learn her condition and necessities ; should consolidate public aeuliiuent; should extend her railroad*, enlarge her commerce and foster her agriculture, arts and manufactures. It urges the propriety of restricting our domestic trade to those who are friendly to our imputations ; and the policy of I establishing a. direct line of steamers to ?u! rove. It enforce* ?? -j ui mHiiig comf j moo eounsel la pj-otoet tite institution of itivery 'r to eetablishand to foster our own school^ And colleges; and to encourage home publication a. Such are indicated as the great object* of the Convention.

We have been requested to state that a Public Meeting of the citizens of the Village will he held in the Court House, on Saturday, the 8th prox., to consider the propriety of memorializing the Legislature for an amendment of our Charter, so us to confer upon the Council the poverof assessing a tax upon town prop crty. At niir Inst municipal election, ft petition for tlinl purpose was signed by the majority of our citizen.?, but as objections were urged by some to the measure, it Tins been thought proper to have a full discussion of its policy. We nt first had some hesitation in signing a potition for the increase of taxes to be levied upon tlie properly of others ; but n moment'treflection, convinced us. tlint rminlitv of tnm. tion was a subject in which we arc all interested. According to the maxim that "he who experiences a benefit, hhould also share the burden," every one should contribute in proportion to the privileges enjoyed and interests protected. The owner of real estate, of merchandize, nnd vehicles ?fce., should certainly pay more, than one who hats merely ft transient domicil. A sufficient guarantee agaiiibt the abuse of the power is found iii the fact, that the Council are all propert}- holders. Au Elective Judiciary. T-..J 11 1 ?!.!- ! . 1- . ? \* iiuvi mc uoo? e iilio, uic iasi nun)nor o) Harp r's Magazine, contains a masterly article, in which the editor points out the evils which result from a popular election of the Judiciary, us illustrated hy the operation of the present system it) New York duiing the last ten j-enrs. The Convention of IS 10, which was called into being, by the necessity of providing a remedy for the delay of justice, and checking the overweening power of Chancery, effected great and radical changes in the existing system ; 6wept away the common law form of procedure, annulled the distinction between law and cauitv: an?l, above nil, gave tlic election of Judges to | the people. This last measure the writer thinks has been attended with unmitigated evil; aud j he gives various illustrations of the tendency of the system, to lower the diameter of the Judiciary, and to affect its influence over the Bar. The evils enumerated, however, do not result merely from the mode of crration, but, nlcrt fi'rtm t liu /i??iny/> - H.UV| ?.? v..v ??????. \'j '^in , anu nit? ?ntu? ry atlaelud to it These are discussed in due order. The mode of crcation, resolves itself either into a nomination by the Executive, and confirmed by eome council or senato ; or into- an election by the legislature; or lastly by a nomination in some popular convention, and this sanctioned by the popular vote. Objections exist against each of these modes , but they apply with peculiar force to the popular election. The writer whilst he concede?, to its full extent, the doctrine of popular sovereignty, discriminates between tlxc position of the Judge and legislator ; and holds that the Judge represents not the feeling? or interests of the people, but represents the law ; and that for the daily business of the Judge, learning, ?bil .yj >kiu iiiivgiiiji tiiu rcijmruu. ine encci 01 the popular election, is to tlirow t!:e nomination of the Judiciary into the hands of a set of trading politicians, who are as competent to select a Judge as to choose an astronomer. The result is that the best roan will decline to enter the list* for nomination. Again, the independence of the Judiciary is essential to its dignity and usefulness, and this inseparably connccted with the tenure of the Judicial officc. The Judge should feel secure of his position, so long as he discharges its duties f&iillfulK*. Thrffc nnn???fnfinn r* V-? Va?1? l>y limiting the longest tenure of Judicial office to eight years and the shortest to three years, has forced the Judge to look beyond the term of his office ; and to regard it either as a temporary occupation, or to use every means to secure his re-eloction. Jhc tendency of the system is to make the Judge an intriguing and obsequious ?3*cophnnt; and whether he be such or not he can scarcely avoid the imputation, and bis character and influence will be totally destroyed. A view of these evils induced the English Parliament, one hundred and forty years ago, to change the tenure of the office, and to make it dependent upon good behavior aLone. Liiatly, tlio writer has shown, that the talaric* of the New York Judges, ranging from $2,000 to $5,000 each, is so far below the scale of professional emolument, as to render the office, undesirable and contemptible. We com* mend the article to the careful perusal of our readers. Iioos.?We bear of 110 improvement whatever in hogs, Bays the Louisville Courier, for. the approaching packing season. The farmers generally are pretty hrm, having a good store of old cor11 on band, and asking five cents gross for their hogs for early delivery.

In the lust week's i.-sue, wc gave our read- : ers copious extrnots, from nil account of tho Brooks dinner, which appeared in the columns i of the Keto York 'Timer. Since then a friend h?s handed to us a copy of MenghctV /ri-*A yctc*, which contains nil article by the same Reporter, under I he above title. Wo were struck with the contrast, in the tone of the two pieces. Our Reporter is n very chameleon. In the first article prepared for a Northern freesoil journal, lie takes tho hue of the medium in which he appears; lie exaggerates our |>cvuiiui iiic.1, 9111'vn) ulf ?>ur (IcnCICIH'li'K, Will amuses himself ut our secession proclivities. But when he prepares a contribution for the Irish Xcick, a pripcr destined to circulate widely at the South, lie dips his pen in the color* of the rainbow ; and lauds the frankness, cordiality, hospitality, intelligence and humanity of the Southern slaveholder. lie calls Bishop Berkley an old fogy, and takes him to task, for making the charge of insipidity against the Southern character ; and thinks our impetuosity, wit and sprightlines* would merit any other Appellation sooner. TVc are almost afraid that the extracts of last week may have satisfied our readers, xtxqnc ad )tan?>ntn ; hut as the question of slavery and the relations between the North and South, are at present pccniiaily interesting, we can scarce forbear uuiMiii; n icw uuimitmai quotations. t.?ur Reporter, too, is a very intelligent eye witness; and has a roal Iri--.lt imagination, a good fund of Irish humor, and a style, which throws a rich coloring upon the most common incidents, lie arrives in Charleston on Saturday, the '28th September, and r'-inains there until the following Tuesday. llis description of the harbor and city is picturesque and graphic : "Charleston, as every body knows who knows anything, is the commercial capital of South Carolina, and what is more, one of the finest cities in the Union. Its situation is rather low, and the country behind it, is too flat to warrant us in claiming for it I. -C ?1- _ . 3 imicu ui me picturesque. IDC approach from the harbor, however, is beautiful. On the right lies Sullivan's Island, with its low tropical-looking houses, its magnificent hotel, and Fort Moultrie, great in revolutionary annals, on its further extremity. On the left, a pretty undulating fringe of shore, green as emerald, stretches away as far as the eye can reach, until lost in the blue haze of the horizon. In front rise the tall spires and white towers of the city, bathed in a flood of golden light, and springing, as it were, from the very bosom of the bay. ' I enw from out the wove liur structure ri*o. As from the stroke of an ciichunter's wand," The city, viewed internally, is clean; the streets, spacious; the buildings, generally handsome; the stores elegant; and its business aspect indicates wealth, prosperity, and progress. The gioatest drawback is its utiiieallhincss during the warm month?." Our Reporter remains long enough in Charleston to be most favorably impressed with the kindness and hospitality of the citizens. lie seems really to give expression to lira genuine feelings in the following paragraph r "I can hardly describe the pleasure I experienml in meeting some old friends in Charleston, whom I had not seen for several years before, and who, with a hospitality tliat used owfcy to be Irish, and with a warmth of friendship and nobility of kindness that aro seldom found any whcie out of the State, did their best to make my stay agreeable. I am bound to say they succeeded to perfection. To one fresh from the North, and habituated to Northern feelings and character. the ntlielf Bf..ncihililina ' r. i, ** ,t,w? nature, chivalric tone and convivial temper that form the prominent traits of our Southren biethrcn, cannot fail at first sight to appear somewhat "extravagant. This impression soon wears away, however; ami evei* if it did not, it is an extravagance with which nobody can be displeased. Certainly I, fo? one, regretted my inability to enjoy more of it." Our frieud arrived in the city wlitn the ?ad result of the Taber ami Magrath-difficulty, furnished the theme of general conversation, and he has given a dramatic sketch of the due), -which we presume to he currcct in ita details. Of the parties lie thus speaks : ' Mr. Tuber was a young man, influential!)* connected, though personally, I believe, rather unpopular, llis abilities were of the first order, and his prospects of attaining future distinction as a public man, brilliant in the extreme. He was fearless, nlinnAt In DtliliU-ilv unil nninroil ( nnco/tni-o. J, . ~"J"J ble reputation its a duellist. McGrath, though a young man of a family remarkable for talent, was regarded as one of those quiet, easy harmless, goodnatured fellows who never trouble themselves about anything, and glide so smoothly down the stream of life, that not a ripple is left to mark their track. And yet see the Celtic recklessness of the man when his feelings were aroused. Stepping forward as the voluntary champion of the good name of his brother, he indited a sort of wholesale challenge, peremptorily demanding of both editors of the Mercury an immediate retraction, or immediate satisfaction. Taber replied as haughtily, and accepted the challenge. They met at the race course on Monday afternoon." The occasion affords n fit opportunity for an axpreasion of opinion upon the policy, and ethics of daelliag: "This duello code is a marked feature of Southern Society, and has always been in vogue among races characterised by strong sensibilities and excitability of temper. It is not my business here to enter into a disquisition of the ethics of it, but I cannot refrain from expressing the opinion that it it a very absurd manner of settling quarrels. Something, it it true, may be aaid in its favor. But what of that ? I do not doubt that something migl|t be said in favor of the devil, and I am thoroughly .covineed there never was a bad thing in existence in regard to which something good, or tending to good, might not be advanced. lean readily conceive of circumstance* in which one man would be .pot only justified, but bound to kill another, bnt no strength of fancy could devise cireuMrtAtWMt tinder which the obligation to kill would bo mutual?unless it be in war, and I question even that." ^ Tlic description of the country from Clinrlos- ^ ton to Columbia in verified in tlie experiences , ami of every traveller : "The road from Charleston to Columbia passes through tins most dreary country tin; \ eye of traveller ever rested on. Tangled nm< brakes of stunted pine, alternating with dismal marshes or blighted corn-fields, and I" u not a hill to relieve the wretched monotony, C constitute the never-changing prospects. 2..">< After leaving Columbia the prospect in?proves. Well-cultivated fields stretch down to the road. Pleasant farm houses, embed- t ded in oak and magnolia, with the smoke r>e. of the negroes' lints rising up out of the ,j dense groves, here and there meet tlic view, law and gladden both cvo ami heart. The i , ,. ... .J , . .1 ii..,. wnoie race 01 nature is changed. ftvon tlie very steam-engine?(to my surprise 1 found __ it named after that venerable warrior, Brian Borhoimc)?seems to derive new vigor rwi from tliu altered circumstances, and rattles f_ away with accelerated speed." Iu-I< The village of Greenwood, with its quiet Fri beanty and sylvan repose: with its "spread- t)*?l iugoaks and evergreens," and white-washed cottages, with parterres of flowers in front, ^ seems to have inspired tlie imagination of our /\ traveller ; and lie thinks that its rural scehision would have satisfied the longing of the p?ot Cowley, for some obscure retreat- in th?* T( Western world, with tho "consolation of letters and philosophy. " The description of Southern society anil mantiers is of the colcnr <lc rosry nnd the. distinctness and beauty of the picture is heightened rigl by contrast with the dark phase of Northern ^ ' agitation : "I found the people sober, intelligent, high-minded, patriotic, ami kind-hearted. o: Ono tiling I missed, to-wit?the squalid O misery ot'the laboring classes of tlic North. I saw no poverty. And you may depend fori on it, the absence of poverty is a very supe- xv'' rior feature in any community. A nnllwr v?*rv iufitirr r?r /.luce ......

There are no (..j , cadaverous, sapless, man-forsaken females, pifi turning polities into a burlesque, philosophy J! into farce, and religion into a reproach.
