MATHEW, British Consulate, June 22, 1S50. 591-2t ADDRESS OF THE NASHVILLE CONVEN TION. To the people of the slaveholding States. The address is too long to occupy five columns of our paper, unless it were of more momen tous and immediate importance to the people. We shall give only the heads, points and conclu sions. The address professes to show the csnditioo of the slavery question ; to assert the rights of the South, and to demand their recognition by the general government. The address dates the agitation of the slavery question 1G years back, or to the time when the people of other States began to petition Congress on the subject of slavery. We should date it back to the foundation of the government. At that time however, they commenced the agita tion of the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia. The address then gives a sketch of the history of the agitation up to this time. The South is reviled and denounced in Con gress and every where, on account of the insti tution of slavery, and the nonslaveholding States stand combined to undermine the rights of pro perty in slaves. Concession on the part of the South only emboldens the North to make further demands. The great end being the abolition of slavery in the States, the efforts to accomplish it will never cease; and when time shall give the nonslaveholding States a preponderance of three-fourths of the authority of the government, the constitution will be altered and slavery pro hibited. The following sentence in the address con tains a solemn and deplorable fact, verified and attested by the history of parties in the South; and many a politician in the South will read it, who, if he have sense enough to understand the application, will feel keenly alive to the justice of the rebuke. It reads thus : If from the past transactions we have narrated, we learn our condition in the Union, they teach us also that our past policy of non-action and submission to ag gression cannot bring us peace and safety. When the doors of Congress were thrown open to agitation on the subject of slavery, if the Southern States had moved with energy to avert a state of things unconsti tutional in itself, and surely tending to bring the slaveholding and non-slaveholding States into collision, although late, it might not have been too late to 'Stop subsequent encroachments upon our rights. But the Southern States were passive ; and their forbearance has had the effect of inspiring the Northern people with the belief either that we value a union with them more than we value the institution ot slavery, or that we dare not move from a conscious ina bility to protect ourselves. You have un generously stood still whilst your suppor ters and the defenders of the constitution in the Northern States, in their efforts to protect you from the agitations of slavery in Congress, have been politically annihi lated, orhave turned your foes. You have tamely acquiesced, until to hate and per secute the South, has become a high pass port to honor and power in the Union. The address then argues that where two bodies of people of opposite interests, live under one government, the dominant interest will oppress rbm Europe. Telegraphed for the "BaltIore Su. Halifax, June 21'. The royal mail steamer Cambria arrived ofFLer wharf here this morning. She brings Liverpool dates to the Sfh instant, and London to the 7th. Her advices are one week later than those here tofore received. . The news from France and the continent gen erally is pacific, and the commercial aspect satis factory. The new French electoral bill has passed the French Assembly by a large majority, witfiou't creating any demonstration from the opposition. The English press is wasting a quantity of pa per in regard to Gen. Lopez's invasion of Cuba, and the matter was giving rise to discussions in Parliament. Tie English manufacturing stocks are kept active, and the people well employed and well paid. The flour market was dull, and prices about the same as at the close of the previous week, though rather favoring buyers. The market for Indian corn was also dull, and prices declined from Cd. to Is. pei quarter of 40 lbs. The provision market was very quiet and fa voring buyers. Lard had declined 3d., and but ter and tallow were both 6d. lower. The late continental advices have created an active de mand for coffee of all descriptions, and prices have advanced from 2s. to Cs perewt. The news from Cuba has had the tendency to strengthen the sugar market materially, and prices have ad vanced. Nothing doing in rice. Sales of Amer ican whale oil at JE3 10s. per cwt. The money market was easy, and the rates of discount low ou good paper. The Liverpool cot ton market was firm at the closing prices of the previous week. The sales of the week amount to GO.-000 bales. The following lines are a capital satire upon those who resist the progress of the age de nounce everything that out of the olcTorder of things, and think that the way their grandfathers went is good enough for them. Well, the old order of things was well enough in its time ; but change, that annihilator of every thing human, is as irresistible as the will of the Great Jehovah. Even if it were possible.it is as perfectly ridicul ous to resist it as it is for the toad in his cell to deem that the world is standing still while he is dreaming his dreams."" - ' - :- The spirit of the age demands improvement, and improvement is the order of the day; and those who will not avail themselves of the im provements of the age, will find themselves far in the rear of fortune and intelligence. Let no man think to prosper, while tarrapin like, he shuts himself up in the shell of his own conceit, and with I113 feeble antediluvianisms attempts to compete with the youthful vigor of the spirit of the age : THE PHILOSOPHER TOAD.

Here the address gives a sketch of the provisions of thej compromise bill. How the rights of the minority shall be maintained, the address does not state, but we should infer that the writers considered separatiou the only available and reliable means. The Missouri compromise is then named as the ultimatum, or the only proposition which will be acceptable to the South.. PROSPECT OF WAR! The question ' to be tested. Our readers will recollect that the authorities of the State of Texas, sent their Agent, Major Neighbors, to organize that part of the territory of New Mexico claimed by Texas, into counties. The inhabitants of the town of Santa Fe, and all that region, have always denied allegiance to Texas, and have accordingly resisted the organi zation of counties by Texas. In this resistance, it appears (by a telegraphic despatch to the Washington Union) that the U. S. authorities at Santa Fe have joined the inhabitants, and the agent of Texas left for headquarters. The gov ernment and people of Texas have sworn t9 spill their blood in defence of their right to thiser ritory; and if thi3 news be true, we fear there is goiug to be trouble there. We hardlv know how to credit the news cf the interference of U. S. authorities; for President Taylor intimated that he ' would not interfere. We presume the matter will be explained more fully in a few days. p. S. What is still more alarming, and for which the President must be held accounta ble is, that the commanding officer at Santa Fe, has issued a proclamation, like Genl. Riley did in the case of California, calling on the inhabi tants of New Mexico to forma State government! If true, it deserves the reprobation of the whole woria. Long years have passed by since its bed became dry, And the trees grow so close, scarce a glimpse f the sky Is seen in the hollow, so dark and so damp, Where the glow-worm at noonday is trimming his lamp, And hardly a sound from "the thicket around Where the rabbit and squirrel leap over the ground, Is heard by the toad in his spacious abode In the innermost heart ot that ponderous stone, By the gray-hair'd moss and the linchen over grown. Down deep in that hollow the bees never come The shade is too black for a flower ; And jewel winged birds, with their musical hum, Never flash in the night of that bower: But the cold blooded snake in the edge of the brake, Lies amid the rank grass half asleep, half awake; And the ashen-white snail, with the slime in its tail Meres wearily on like a life's tedious tale, Yet disturbs not the toad in his spacious abode, In the innermost heart of that flinty old stone, By the gray-haired moss and the linchen over gro vv n . Down deep in a hollow some wisacres sit, Like the toad in his cell, in the stone ; Around them in daylight the blind owlets flit And their creeds are with ivy o'ergrown : Their streams may go dry, and the wheels cease to ply And their glimpses be few of the sun and the sky, Still they hug to their breast every time-honored guest. And slumber and doze in a glorious rest, For no progress they find in the wide sphere cf mind, And the world's standing still with all of their kind ; Contented to dwell deep down in the well. Or move like the snail in the crust of his shell Or live like the toad in his narrow abode, With thtir souls closely wedged ia a thick wall of stone, By the gray weeds of prejudice rankly o'er?rowa 03- Gen.

SKETCHES OF THE" NORTH CAR OLINA PRESS. No. 2. " Messenger of riei. Perhaps to thousand, and joy to sue; any work . This folio of four pai-ps. h Which not e'en critics criticise, that holds. inquisitive attention. What is it, but a map of busy ufe, Its fluctuations and its vast ccricm ?" CoWPEK. In the first number on this subject, published Fonie short time since, the his tory ot the Press was collated from its discovery in the 15th century, down to our Revolution. The Press of our own State, from its first introduction into the Pro vince in 1749, by James Davis, and the names and characters of the different Editors, were stated. From that period to the present much information is collected, yet much is need ed to make its history complete and satis factory. The iullng powers of England, says Williamson, in his History ot North Caro lina, vol- 1, 195, appear to have regarded knowledge as a dangerous plant in the pro vinces, else they would not have instruct ed Lord Effingham, the Governor of Vir ginia, not to sufl'er the use of a Printing Press on any occasion whatever.'' It was a cause of gratitude, for wlich Sir William Berkley gave thanks to Heaven, "that there was not a Printing Office in any of the Southern Provinces." Surely, if subjects afforded his Lordship any cause of congratulation, the e.arly his tory of our State must have filled his loyal heart with happiness. But, under the influence of free govern ment, the Press, during the period which we are now considering, has attained in our Government position and power hith erty unknown in the history of our race. Tymperly, in his Encyclopcedia of Lit erary and Typographical Anecdote, informs us that the United btates had -in 1834, with a population ot 13,000,000, more newspapers than all Europe with a popula tion of 100,000,000! Such are consequences of Institutions and Laws that realize the idea of Locke's perfection of a Government, where every man may think what he pleases and. speaks what he thinks. At the commencement of the Revolu tion of 1776, the only newspapers in our State, were at Newbern, Wilmington, Halifax, Edenton, and Hillsborough. -" In 1812, there were newspapers printed at Newbern, Wilmington, Edenton, Tar borough, Murfreesborough, Fayetteville, Raleigh, ami Warrenton. It is to be regretted that no files are extant of this period, or within the control of the writer of this sketch, which show "the form and pressure of the times" or the characters of the Editors. We observe that the Legislature of Wis consin, at a recent session, has ordered that the County Court Clerks of eLch County, shall subscribe in the name of the County, for a copy of each papr printed in the County for reference, to be bound up and preserved. It would be a worthy enactment of our General Assembly; arid further, to direct the State Librarian to procure a copy of each paper printed in the State, to be pre served in like manner. Their value would increase with their years, and be a most useful and reliable source of reference The Constitution, made at Halifax, in 1776, was printed, as well as the Acts of the .Legislature, the first that assembled under the Constitution, by James Davis, at Newbern, in April, 1777- James Davis was, as stated in a previous number of these Sketches, a Virginian by birth, and was appointedf under the Colo nial Government, Post Master at New bern, by Benjamin Franklin, and also held the commission of a magistrate, from Gov Tryon the last but one, of the Royal Governors. The Private Acts of the General Assem bly, from 1715 to 1790, were printed at Newbern, by Francois X. Martin.in 1794. The life and character of Francois Xavier Martin, is full of interest. The lesson it teaches is full of encourage ment to the industrious, prudent and persevering. He was a Frenchman by birth, as his name indicates, without for tune and friends, but by application and industry rose to the highest ranks of so ciety. In 1791, the Legislature afforded him aid in publishing the statutes of En gland in force and use in this State, in 1803 he was employed bv the same to publish a revisal of the acts of the Pro- J prietary, Royal and State Governments. In 1809, he was appointed by Mr Madison to a judicial office, first in Mississippi Ter ritory, afterwards Orleans; and when the latter became a State, Louisiana, he was appointed a Judge of the Supreme Court of that State, in which office, he recently died, full of years, wealth and honor. In 189, he published a History of North Carolina in two volumes. Abraham Hodge, uncle of Willia-tn Boy Ian, Esq., of Raleigh, was a cotemporary, and was early an extensive printer in the State. Of his life, character and death, the w riter is not informed. - . The name of Joseph Gales appears In Tymperly's Encyclopcedia as the publisher of the SheSied Register No. 1, in England, in June, 1717. He fled to, America from the persecutions of tyranny in 1794, and settled in Raleigh, where in 1799, he es tablished the present Raltigh Register, now conducted by Ida grand -son, SeatOD Gales, Esq. . In iSOl, the office cf the Register, with all its appliances, was hurhed to the ground ; but by the genercus aid ot friends with the ' enterprise of the Editor, it revived,- and took an active part for the country, in its pt rilous contest wiUic gland in the war of I81ii ' " ' An Accurate account of his typographi cal labours, by a faithful and familiar hand, would liii the period now - alluded to, and is most desirable to the country. To thos who have the material at hand, end more ability than the writer of this, litis duty is confided.

TACITUS. H R J. B From the New York Spirit of the Times. One of your correspondents relates 'his experience about horses looking back with regret, after having passed 6ver a plank road. 1 was out on one the other day; the tlriver was pretty much of a wag, and made the following 'sell" of one of my fel low passengers: - Passenger "What is the reason you go so slow over the plank road, driver?" Driver ' The horses wouldn't go faster if I were to whip them all the time.'' Passenger Whyso?t' . Driver "They know the plank road it only six miles long, and they want to spin it out as long as they can i When you see the horrid road we come to afterwards, you'll say they're right. Why, sir, I can turn them round, and keep them driving up and down the plank road all the week. and they would never feel tired; it would make them feel so good. A fact, sir, I assure you." " - Spiritedly yours. Qui ViVb. CifCi?sTi, Ohio, May 21, 1S50. In connection with this anecdote, we may state what we have been informed is beyond question, to-wit: that the horses in a wood wagon, after drawing several miles on the Plank Road, on be ing turned of! on the deep sand, have stopped and positively refused to pull, until some of the wood was thrown eff to lighten the load T And this, too, with the common 1 or S2 load that they had always drawn. ? . . . .
