Specches of Mr. Mor‘on, of Georgia, Mr. Marshal? of | Mississippi, and F n Brownlow of nessee—-Pro- | ceedings, Resiluti: The cony ning, and after cd till to-morrow, at two hours, adjourn ing, of which we hove will commence in reay when the 1 have been jones of Tennessee, and one from Gen- Kentucky—in addition to which arnest ‘om ex-Govgrnor Lesh of The seasi then thir wide fleld of operations, and embraced projects of the most varied character. One gentlemen presented a reso. lution asking the convention to recommend the general | vernment to use its efforts as a mediator between Tur- and Russia, with the view of preventing the approach ing contest on the continent of Europe; but as his resolu. tion was referred to the Business Committee, it ij not certain that it will again come up. All the resolutions offered Were referred to the same committee, which will select from among them such as it deems worthy the consideration of the convention. There are at leasta dozen in relation to the Pacific Railroad, and four ox five on the favorite project of the South, the establishmeat ofa line of steamers between some Southera port and Europe. The theatre in which the convention continues to be held was crowded, and several delegates from distant sections made their appearance to-day for the first time. After the reading of the minutes the communication from Mr. De Bow to the convention, in reldtion to the subjects whieh should come before it, was read, and, on motion, referred to the Business Committee. As I have already sent a copy for publication in the Herarp, it is only ne cessary to allude to it. The following isan abstract 0 the principal resolutions which were referred to the above-named committee :— By Governor Jonrs—Resolutions in relation to the con- struction of the Pacific Railroad, By Mr. Myers, of Va.—On the practicability of estab lishing lines of steamers from Southern cities to Rurope By Mr. Coomns—On the Pacific Railroad.

Cooxps, of Ky.—That the next convention meet at Louisville. The following resolution, presented by Mr. Morton, of Ga., was the only one on which there was any speaking:— Resolved, That as the impending conflict between the Em peror of Russia, Turkey, Buglagd and France, may result in ageneral European war, we recommend the government of tho United States to offer itse'f asa modiater to those pmi- were ‘This, said Mr, Morton, may be regarded asa proposition upon which this convention should take no action, but i ia a subject whieh has been regarded with favor by more than ene person.

In addition to him I would name more, and also one from the State of South Carolina —the d&tinguishe’ Senator who represents it in the Senate of the United States. I think if these three men went to Europe, tendering their mediation between the belligerent powers there, they would be successfal, In this course we would be supported by the Seriptures, for we are told “Blessed are the peacemakers. Laughter and applause, in the midst of which the gentleman re. sumed his seat.) Mr. MARSHALL, of Missiesippi, hoped the resolution woula take the usual course. xpressed the high es: timation in which he held the character of the Czar, whom he called the Napoleon of the day, and the great est philanthropist now living. We should, he said, en deavor to gain his friendship, so that he would throw open his ports to our commerce, and extend to us privi eges which he had refused to others. What matters it to us, continued the speaker, if he hag made se. vere laws—they are for the government of ‘what may still be called an uncivilized and barvarous race. This proposition should go forth from a body of this character, a body that is superior to the Con gress of the United States, for wo are indeed a great pence society, and we intend to conquer a peace in the forests of the West, where the chnrch spires will take the place of the towering trees, and the house of the husbandman be erected over tho spot where the panther slew the deer tor his breakfast this morning.

Upon the publish- ed proceedings appearing next morning, a certain you lady’s name was attached, 6o to spoak, aa chairman of the meeting. She was tho belle of the placo, and a young gentleman wes paying his addresses to her. When his friends saw her name in the papers, they gathered round him, and said: ‘George, did you see thiaf’’ devil,” he said; I have read it an hour ago mmon and stuff, and to convince you that’ they are insincere, that young lady bas been dead in love with me for the last twelve months. I will go to church next Sunday and present her my arm, and you will see if she refuse it. Accordingly next Sun- day they all went to church to see the fun. George marched up the aisle with a little rattan, oraamented on the top with a gold head,and, as polite as a French danc- ing master, he says, ‘Miss Susan shall] have the extreme pleasure of seeing you home to your papa’s houset’? Welt, she retreated with dignity and responded, ‘No sir- ree.’? (Laughter and applause.) He still pressed his claims and stuck his elbow out to her, but she refused the offer, and drawing off further said, ‘No sir; by the grece of God Ihave ron my arm through a jug-handle for the last time.” Now, I say ladies, mm young men wi present you their arms, if you know they have drank too much, decline running your arm through a jug hanile, (Laughter.)

It has been only two days in gession, and yet more projects have been laid before it than they can dispose of ina month. It depends, of course, to a great extent, on the report of the Business Committee, whether any or nll of these shall be discussed and determined up- on. It is but just, however, to say that a more influen- tial, respectable or intelligent class of mon were ever collected for the same purposes. a. Mi TELEGRAPHIC. FOURTH DAY. CHARLESTON, April 13, 1854. In the Convention to-day a spicy debate took place re- lative tothe reporter for the “Zribume.”” A niotion was | made to exclude him in consequence of the abolition ten- dencies of the paper; it was however eventually with- drawn. It is but just to say that the reporter's conduct there is unexceptionable, and the editors of the morning papers show him every attention. Resolutions were adopted, advocating the employment of capital in manufactures and mining; appointing a committee of three from each State represented, to ob- and extent of the manufacturing interests, and furnish a Also, to address the people of the States repreeented, urging the importance of ac- tion in the Legislatures thereof in favor of manufactur ing, ship building, direet trade, mining, education, & A committee of three from each State was appointed to memorialize Congress, urging a reduction of the du- provement of the merchant service, by encouraging boys to go to sea, and for preventing desertion; to send one or two small nayal steamers up the Amazon river for the purpose of exploring its tributaries, which the States owning them have declared free to the commerce and na- vigation of the whole world ; and that the government of Brazil be requested to permit these vessels to make cx- lorations and surveys of the shores of the Amazon be- longing to that nation; to encourage the establishment of a line of mail steamers between some Southern port or. por and the mouth of the Amazon, or some other port in Prazil; also, to encourage the establishment of a di- rect mail by steamers between some Southern, port and Europe. \ After discussing the question of the improvement of, harbors and navigable rivers, the convention adjourned. It is doubtful whether the final adjournment will take place hefore Saturday FIFTH DAY, Cnarie-ron, April 14, 1854. The Committee to-day reported the Pacific Railroad project. First—It is recommended asa vital necessity © the prosperity of the Southern States. Second—That | the route be commenced on the Mississippi, between St. louis and New Orleans, through Texas, connecting with all the Northern and Southern roads. Third—That the Gadsden treaty, so far as securing the right of way through Mexico, ought to be doped. Fourth—Reconi- mending a combination of the Southern states for the construction of the road, iudependent of the national governiwent. Fift commending the incorporation of the by the Legisliture of Virginia, and subsequently by the Legislatures of all the Southern States. Sixth— Trovides for the appointment of a committee to prepare a charter and procure its passage by the Virginia and other Southern Legislatures. They were all adopted, except the treaty resolution. General Gadsden addressed the convention, indirectly intimating that the treaty was prepared to secure a route for the South through Mexico. He hid heard a rumor that Northern Senators had combined to defeat that part. He deprecated the passage of the resolution by the convention. The resolution was subsequently the committee. Resolutions were adopted providing for the encourage- ment of direct trade with E from Southern ports ontrary,a great man, an‘l | great cotton produsing | and | by legislative assistance. ies to secure the re- duction of the duties impozed on tobacco and hemp, by foreign count ‘Adjourned till to-morrow.

One way or the other, the Nebraska nag bas to bear the entire burden of them. Those who favor Mr. Doug!as’ projét declare that the opposition it received from their party in both States named was the cause of the party’s overthrow. In opposition to these eccentric individuals are the great mass of the party, who aver that the misfortunes that have happened are the natural consequences of bringing in the proposition to repeal the compromise of 1820. They scem disposed to extract good from what they hold to be evil, and say that it is better that the democracy should be beaten now than two years hence. Perhaps they are right; but cannot exactly see the necessity of being beaten at either time. Were the party wisely led it ought to. be able to go over one administrative term without getting into a vast bog. There never was such am opportunity lost as has been literally rejected by gentlemen at Washington to place the demo- cratic party on a footing as complete in its strength as was known in Jackson’s time. However, if Gen. Pierce likes flies in his soup I shall not quarrel with him about his want of taste. The small majority received by Mr. Eliot in our Firat district—small as compared with that received by Mr. Scudder in 1852—shows what might have been effected | by the “anti-whigs” had the Nebraska question been out of the way, ihe bill, as the district has hitherto been unrepresented. ‘The Legislature has again commenced “tinkering the conatitution.”” There has been reported 8 proposition to the House of Representatives, by the Committee on Con stitutional Reform, to divide the State into forty districts, ch to have one Senator, and the numbers of Represon- tatives to be apportioned by the Legislature, the basis of apportionment to be the number of legal voters. This involves as complete and summary a change of the prin- ciples of Massachusetts government as if « revolutionary constituent assembly were sitting for the purpose of im- provising & new polity. It involves, in the firat place, ® total departure from our system of ropretentation, which has existed for more than two hun- Gred years, and Which has worked admirably. It is a proposition to substitute the district system—s system wholly unknown to New England, as such—for the anciont and well-tried and setisfactory system of town or corpo- rate representation—the most democratic mode known to the world, and worthy of especial commendation for the part which it performs in the political education of the People, and beenuse its maintenance is, incompatible with the application of the party convention drill to at least one branch of our government. in the second place, the substitution of legal voters for population, as ‘the basis for the construction of the House and the Senate, | would be a great change, and the effect would be quite remarkable should it be adopted. The whigs have, by reporting these changes, shown that their reverence for the old constitution, which but two years ago they pro- nounced unimprovable by human hands, has departed. | They would leave as fw of its principles unquestioned, or its provisions undisturbed, as there were left of Lear’s knights. They have given special offence to the Irish, to whose assistance they are so much indebted for their ascendancy, in two ways; for that class of voters object to both the ’ legal voters basis, and to the cutting up of the great towns—Boston, Lowell, &c., &c.—into re- presentative districts, whereby their power of com- tinct sect in religion, will be greatly lessened. Iam not sure, however, that the main reason why many people now favor the district system who were opposed to it six months since is not owing to the evidence which the events of last November aflorded, that. the town system affords great advantages to the Catholic voters to band together for the accomplishment of certain oe Soy Ley abound in the large towns, and might. be able to conirol entirely the character of the delegations from such places, which would be a state of things as repug- nant to the ideas of the mass of one party as to that of any or all others, thongh the whigs, from having lately received much valuable aid from the Catholics, are just now comyelled to be a little more deferential to that class of voters than they usually are. They have humbugged them finely on the subject of the convent indemnity thus far; but that game can’t te played much longer. It is not possible to say what is to be the fate of this ‘amendment to" the constitution, though postronement of any discussion ‘on the subject until next Tuesday, the 11th, bya majority of seven ina vote of 197—there being 112 absentees—is thought by some to indicate its defeat, as two-thirds must vote for it to secure its passage. ‘The oriziual pro- Position has been already so far amended as to make the number of representatives 320 instead of 240: and this may cause its rejection, as one great object with certain reformers is to reduce the number of repre-entatives, and 820 would form a greater House than hax been, the average of the last dozen years. ‘The House of this year has but 409 members, and that of last year was consider- ably :malier. ‘The Legislature seems to be in the mood of increasing the amount of bank capital beyond the amount recom- mended by the committee on the subject. Several bills of that kind bave passed the Senate whieh were not only not recommended by that committee but were positively | oppose! by its chairman in debate. The profits that arise from banking are aupposed to be so large that there ik a sort of mania on the subject that may lead to evil. The committee adopted a plan for moderate increase; but it seems that that bas not satisfied the Senate. ‘tthe City Auditor e1 pates our municipal expenses, for the year ending April 30, 1855, at $2,286,000, of which 1,767,500 must be raised by taxation, being an increase of $211.00 on the amount raised in that way last year, when the estimates proved erroneous, and money was borrowed to meet the deficiency. As property has large- ly increased, this additional taxation will not amount to much, ro far as the purses of the payers are concerned, only that people are always more apt to grumble at tax- | paying when they are wellable to meet it than when they are not ro, What Lord Castlereagh was used to call an ignorant impatience of taxation” being am expecial vice of the wealthy classes. ome of the principal items of expenditure for the years 1854-'55 are as follows:— For schools, $397,000; water works, $361,000; streets, $195,000; widening and extending the same, $100,000; Watch Deyartment, $93.000; police, 54,000; salaries, $80,000; interest, $125,000; Fire Departmen 4 houses of correction, industry, reformation, Island, $132,500; lamps, $95,000; city debt, $60,000; county of Suffolk, $130,000; Lunatic Hospital, $26(000; Overseers of Poor, $30,060, and sewers and drains, $33,- 000, The difference between the expeniitures on the water werks, including interest, and the income there- 3 | from, is put at $140,000. ‘The Fastern Railroad Company will commence running their trains into the city on Monday next, April 10.

The new track made necessary by this change of entrance ia five and a half miles in length, and the trains will come upon the old track in Chelsen; but, the real increase of distance is but two miles, which’ will be made up by the avoidance of the ferry.
