North Carolina, South Carolina, (Georgia, Ala- bama, Virginia, Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee j ami Louisiana were represented. i The Convention was fully organized, by electing Col. A. P. Calhoun, of South Carolina, President. J. H. Linsey of N. C, was appointed ouc of the Vice Presidents. Mr Ruffin, of Virginia, reported resolutions recommending the South to adopt discriminations against, the .North by taxes and licenses. The resolutions were referred to a committee. Mr Spratt, of S. C, read a very elaborate and able report on the subject of re-opening the slave trade, concluding with the'followiug resolutions: Resolved, 1 hat slavery is right and that being right there can be no wrong in the natural means to its promotion. Resolved, lhat it is expedient and proper that the foreign slave trade should be re-opened, and that the Convention will lend its influence in every legitimate way to that end. Rewlvrd, J hat a committee of one from each State be appointed to eonsider the means consis tent with duty and obligation to take steps to re open the slave trade, and that they report their plan to the next Convention. RogeT A. Prior, of Virginia, made a speech against the resolutions of L. W. Spratt, of South j Carolina, in relation to re opening the African j slave trade. It is very probable that the above resolutions j will be rejected by the Convention, as a majority are strongly opposed to them. Central Walker and John Mitchell have been i tendered seats in the Convention. Five hundred delegates were present ! them many able and eiooucnt men. Rail Road Accident. Albany, May 11.
