Itis too late. They cannot undo in a' day the work of a quarter of a century. They! cau neither convinc the North of its madness, nor the South of tits safety.

It appears from the newspapers that the Hon. Edward , Stanly is so journing at the Northi and that he made a visit on the 14th inst., to the Fair of the American Insti tute in New oric It also appears that ho has re cently received from the . United States Consul General of Egy pt, a package of "mummy wheat," taken from a tomb, and supposed to be 2000 years old, which he presented to the Institute jor distri bution. Of course Mr. Stanly had the right to dis pose of this "mummv wheat" ashe chose; but is it not little strange he should give it to Northern i i t'i. l : f ? larmers, anu sugiu iie luriners in uis own voii gressional District? tlT wo dare say: however he had an. eye to his own interest ing its distribution, and he very naturally prefers the Northern far- j mers to those of his own district Wayne county farmers for instance. But if Mr. S. must give away his "mummy, wheat,' why not patronize a Southern Institution? The South-Carolina Institute hold3 its annua luir about the middle of November; why not encourage Southern agriculture? East ern Carolina Republican, j t The Nashville Convention. We Lgc il sta-. ted in some of the compromise papers, that Judge Sharkey had declared a few;weeks ago while at Washington, that he wbuld;not call the Nashville Convention together, arid consider this fact con clusive that the Convention will not meet again ; that Judge Sharkey has finally decided the case. This is. a mistake. The Convention adjourned to meet again six weeks after the adjournment of Con gress, and Judge Sharkey has no more control over the matter than Fillmore or Giddirigs not a whit more. The Convention will re-assemble, in pursuance of the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted , without reference to the course Judge S. may see proper to take himself. "Resolved, That when this Convention adjourn, it adjourn to meet again at Nashville, in the State of Tennessee, the 6th Monday after the adjourn ment of the present session ol Congress,, and that i the southern states be recommended to fill their delegations forthwith." .

The true position of the South U this: From the formation of the government there have existed in the two great sections of the Union, political sys tems, opposed in principle. Recent events have developed into excited hostility these contradictions and just at the time when sectional interests are most antagonistic the government, by the admis sion of California, has destroyed the balance of power between the two sections, and placed the South, its interest, nnd its institutions; in helpless dependence upon Northern majorities.
