An Adareas FROM THB CITIZENS OF GREAT SALT LAKE CITY TO HIS EXCELLENCY JAMES BUCHANAN, PRES{DENT OP THE UNITED STATES. A mecting was held in Salt Lake City on the 16th Jaau- ary, at which the following address was adopted :— Sin—Unused alike to the fawning sycoplancy of modern office seekers and the rough personalities of sectional strife, we choose rather to address you inthe plain lan- guage of American citizens, respectfully, yet firmly, de manding at the hands of the Chief Magistrate our inalien- able rights. To us who dwell in the mountains, far from the bury worid without, the torm chief magistrate implies: & man who. from au innate Consciousness tuat he is capa- bie of benefitting the people, can solicit their votes with- out servility, admivister justice without favor, and one who will strive to be wortay of the great confidence re- posed in him. When such an one is at the helm of state, bis course is marked by peace and good order at home, respect and consideration abroad. It is with nations as with individuals : gentle treatment and thougbtfu. care are often more efllcacious io curing systematial derangements than the most pungent pre scriptions. Sound policy, if po other motive, would im- prees upon the President of the United Siates the necessity of chertshing and protecting tne interests of the Tsrrito- ries, for it is preeumable that such districts more particu- larly require a kindly, fostering care. ‘Two years since the census was taken, a constitution formed, and a del on was sent to Washington from the citizens of U-ah to lay before Congress our petition for State government. Senators aud representatives declins interesting themselves in our behalt, on the und that they © would lose their political influence” The makers and administrators of our fedora! laws bave thus declared that American citizens shail not only for crime be disfran- | chised, but also on the score of unpopularity. They hat refused, in it of fact. to make us @ State or give us the rights of a Territory. Whether or pot these were the in- tentions of our fathers in battling for freedom, we refer you to the administrations of George Washington and An- drew Jackson. ‘The circumstances under which this Territory was sot- | tled are matters of publicity. The strong hand of eppres- sion bad bereft us of lands which government had gua- ranteed to us the ‘jon, and of ea created by un- bring industry. fe came to this desert, mountainous country, and hoped here to uni ily epjoy those rights which we had been denied in Obio, Missouri and | Tiluois. We were very poor, aad our young men were far from us, having enlisted to fight the battles of that country which bad refusea them protection from mob | law. ‘That, gir, stands upon the pages of history ; a mark of patriotism rarely, if ever, equalled—never surpassed. Considering these facte, was it strange that we should jock to the parent government for an extension of those righta which herctofore had been denied us’ How far our anticipations were warranted, subsequent events have determined. Trusting that the services of the Mormon battslion would be remembered by Congress, and the fact that no inducements had been offered to scttle « couatry that would otherwire bave remained a desert to thia day, we have felt no hesitation in locating on lands claimed as pub- He domain. No treaties bave been made with the Indians in this as in otber Territories, por ssarcely so much as even a few | | ! i counts of the Superintendent of Indian Affairs have often beon disallowed, when at the same time they have been far, very far less than those allowed in other Territories, and we are weil assured that he has never demanded one dollar which was not justly his due. We have fed and fought the Indians, to preserve life and secure public do- ma‘n, in either case compensation has refused. The one unfinished wing of our State House isa fair type and lasting monument of the liberality and fostering care of our government. Mankind are the creatures ¢f circumstances and habit. It 18 said that constant custom will reconcile them to prac- ces the most odious. Tbis. beyond doubt, is exactly the case with the present admin’ tration: else how can the principles for governing, made public both in the Cincin. hati democratic platform and your inaugural address, be reconciled with the old British colonial usage of appoint- ing rulers against the unanimous wish of thoreto be ruled? If the opposite t# the case, a tact is conveyed infamous be- youd precedent. ‘Wo cannot think the people of the United States eo far lost to all decency as to elect a mau to the chair of state | who bas no principles of honor or consistency. If this is the case, we must believe that this most novie of national | fabrics is unappreciated, and the natioa doomed to anar- chy. confusion and bloodshed by a jurtly offended God. 1 ‘There in a clase of porens whose ines for oilice is | only equailed by their ditregard of the means of obtaining | tana unfitness for it. These persons act as sc ivengers in | | polities; hence bonorabie members often find it morecon. | | venient to give them a recommend for an ‘appointment to some official ¢ignity in the Territories than to endure the upbappy mixture of impudence, ignorance and affectation | which is their characteristic. From the above causes Judges of the Supreme Court of this Territory have come here as ignorant of law as of common decency—hi insulted the people, ani outraged the dignity of the banch. They have permitied a public ich they imported to sit with them upon the They bave one day petitioned the Presi- Gent to continue Brigbam Young at Governor, becaure of bis fuelity and trustworthiness, and the next intrigued for the appointment themselves. The accounts of the Mar: shal. incurred by tue expross order of the Judges, were disallowed by the advice of one of their number, #ho, the very noxt spring, went Carron Valley ani bought a ral thousand dollars of the Marshal's ‘ratte at tity por | cont disecunt. Whetber advices from Washington induced hit to indulge in the speculation we are noable to say. One, and perbaps the ouly reason why the returnin officials bave been hostile towards us is, that the (ait States appointees are usually the only habitual loafers, whoromasters, drunkards and gambiers ip the Territory, ard parents have been compelled, in self defence, to bold them up to their children as an example woich should never be imitated. Ik our best interests demand such rulers '—our intelligence such insult? Cor Legualative Assembly of 1856-7 sent @ memorial to the President of the United States. In that memortal were measurably epumerated what we consider to be our con | stitutional rights, was pointed out, in part, whi had been wrovged, and a request made to have ‘Terri torial offices filled from a list appended, but if that shoald not be done, to at least give us good men for rulers Was there apytbing in that document to warrant the rece; it met, even h we make allowance for that feeling in man which leads bim to think, when a wrong action bi been laid to bis charge, that the odfum consequent there upon is also heaped upon him’ That was not the case with us: we merely pointed out wrongs we had received, and wore willing to accept them as errors ia judgment , rather thas in | ‘stion.

Stovall, was brought from Stockton to Contra Costa,where he arrived on the 4th of March, prepara ory to departing with his master on the following day for New Orleans. The possessory right to tbe boy bad been confirmed to Stovall by the Supreme Court. Op learning the fact on steamer day, a crimiaal warrant was issued for the arrest of Stovail for kiduap. ping, and a writ of habeas corpus for the boy Archy. Both were taken from on board the Orizaba when on the point of sailing. Archy was cousigned for sate keeoing to the county jail, and Stovall was liberated on bail of $500. Tae negro was discharged from the County Court on the 17th, ano was immediately re-arrested by the United States Marebal under the fugitive slave law. Considerabie excite- ‘ment existed during his transit from the court room to the Marebal's office, and some small fights occurred between the populace and the police, but nothing of a serious cha- racter. The boy will now ‘remain in charge of the na tional authorities until the case is finally adjudicated.— San Francisco Alta, March 20. Births, Marriages and Deaths on the Pacitic. BIRTHS.

Official Cali Preparations for Disunton—The South to be made Independent of Northern Ships and Factories in View of a Southern Confederacy. TO THE PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHERN AND SOUTH- WESTERN STATES: At a_meeting of the Southern Convention, in Knoxville, the undersigned were appointed a com- mittee to address you, in anticipation of the Conven- tion which is to be held in Montgomery, in the State of Alabama, on the 10th day of May next. The object of the address, as we understand it, is to remind you of the approaching session of che Con- vention, and to urge you to appoint delegates to it, and we proceed now to peor that duty. The motive which 3 fim tos the organization of a Southern Commercial Convention was the desire to ascertain the causes of the decline of the foreign commerce of the Southern States, and to devise some pee for its revival and restoration. The people of that the country which produces three-fifths in value of the exper of the nation had not only lost its commercial supremacy but had become, commercial- ly, a dependent upen and yet atributary to that tion of the country which prodnces much the smal portion of those exports. This was not only an unnatural, but an exhausting and depressing pro- cess, retarding necessarily the growth and prosperity of the South, and it was natural to desire, as it was necessary to provide, a remedy for it. This desire and necessity suggested the idea of assembling once in every year the people of the South, by deputies, in a convention, for the pu of gathering infor- mation from the most reliable witnesses as to the causes of the evil, with the hope of obtaining from the wisest and most devoted sons of the South the suggestion of a plan or system of measures which shouid correct it. We regret to Lap that thus far our hopes have not been realized, while the predictions of our opponents have been to some extent verified, psa! genet 1d has been accomplished. Our disappointment not been, however, the fault entirely ot the Con- vention; for although we have been too munch di- vided among ourselves as to the remedies proper to be adopted, and thereby have impaired our efficiency, still much good has would bave been accomplished if we could have carried our sn; ‘ions into execution without depen- dence upon the will of Con; gislatures. The chief benefit, therefore, which has ier been the increased knowledge of and sympathy for each other, with a better understanding of our wants, resulting from these annual assemblies. Southern men heve been made more extensively ac- | quainted with each other, and through that acquain- tance have learned the cheering and Kags aint fact, that however we may differ about men, about party politics, or Toop mera remedies among ourselves, there is in the South but one heart and one will for our traducers and assailants, and that when the time for a blow at them shall arrive, if unhappily it ever shall, all the energy, patriotism and courage of a united nation will be felt in that blowby those -who shall unhappily provoke it; that however we may difter Reger ob engage as to the means of attack or the mode of defence, there is no difference of opi- nion as to the great conclusion, that the South must be defended and all her rights protected, cost what it may. were cause and compensation eno for any trouble and expense in holding our assemblies. But rapidly occurring events furnish additional and conclusive incentives to the continuance of the work which we have commenced—the commercial inde- pendence of the South-—by bringing more closely and distinctly to our view the probability that we shall at no distant day be compelled to assert our [arora independence, without the means of regu- ting and controlling our own commerce; for, with- out that er, no nation can be free. If the South is wise, then, and would be provident, she will lose no time in iding the best means, and all the means within her power, to restore her own com- merce to her own ports and people. For, whether she is to be permitted to remain in the Union, en- jeying in honorable peace all her constitutional rights, or is to be oong oengge by continued and pro- ‘ive assaults upon her rights, her interests and er feelings—the most unprecedented and flagitions which cupidity and ambition ever prompted—to as- sert her right to withdraw from an association which no longer recognizes the original com- pact as the rule of its government, or long- er to yield submission to an oppressive and iniquitous majority, it is of the highest im- portance to her, if not of absolute necessity, thatshe should seriously and earnestly address herself to the restoration of her foreign commerce, and to the en- couragement within her limits, by her own means, of the manufacture of those articles which are ne- cessary to her comfort. The candid lover of the union of the States must be satisfied, as it seems to the undersigned, that if not already abrogated in spirit, by the deliberate vi- olations of the compact, to the injury and for the in- jury of the South, by many of the Northern and | Eastern States, there is not only little ground to hope | for the preservation of it, upon the basis and under the cuarantees of the constitution of 1787, but there | is the most imminent danger of its entire destruction before many years shall have rolled by. For a nur: her of years not only the most offensive denuncia- tions have been poured out upon the South, but the most wanton aggressions upon her constitutional rights hay mmimitted, commencing with that most #bsurd and unfound aim, of a right to con- vert the halls of the National Council into an arena upon which to discuss the tenure by which we hold our slaves, under the pretence of petitioning for a redress of grievances. Not only has our right to reclaim our slaves when they escape intg a Northern State been denied, but the law p by ngress for our protection has been resisted by re ple who claim still to be in the Union; and recently the State of Massachusetts has [oe pmpoy an act such as never was committed be- fore by any constitutional government—to wit: the removal of a Jadge (Loring) without impeachment for any crime, simply because he has honestly and night.

Is it not dissolved already, if the Southern States choose so to regard it? But this is not all—though this is enough to ex- = the danger—and the true question is, shal! the ith wait until the danger overtakes her, anpre- pared then to meet it fully and ward off its evils? Again: fou are painfully sensible of the protracted and excited strugge which haa for several years been in progress in relation to the settlement and govern- mentof the Territory of Kansas. Finally, the strag- gle seemed to have been terminated, by the adoption of a constitution for the Territory, to constitute it a State as soon as admitted into the Union. With the details of the controversy we do not propose to deal. We shall speak only of results. When that consitu- tion was adopted it was transmitted to the President, and with a noble patriotism, coming as he does from the North, and with a faithful adherence to the constitutional opinions of the State rights party he submitted it to Congress, with the recommendation that it should be received by it, and the State of Kansas left to correct the errors, if any were com- mitted, or redress the wrongs, if any were perpetra- ted, of the Territory of Kansas; and thas remove the agitation of slavery from Congress, to whom it inno wise belongs, to deal with the question of slavery in any form, and who can meddle with it only for mis- chievous purposes and in violation of its constitu tional duty. The consequence of this act has heen the re-open- ing not only of all the slnices of abuse and detrac« tion of the South, from more than one quarter, and expecially from the representative of the great State of New York, in the Senate, by whom it has been rocia.med, without rebuke from any Northern nator, that we, the slave owners of the South, are to be pur wed from Marylond to Mexico, and if need be, in order to strip os of a home and shelter, across the Gulf of Mexico into the Island of Ciba, hy the insatiate appetite and voracious demands of free la- bor; and the Supreme Judiciary is to be corrupted and | degraded because the present illustrious bench has been true to its oath and the constitution, thas to make our bondage sure by securing an infamous ap- proval of Bie od and unconstitutional laws by # corrupt and pliant judiciary. Tr there tilings shall eontinne and be porsisted in, every man must perceive that the alternative pre. sented to the South will be ruin, disgrace er bondage on the one hand, Lie ee ane her persecutors and her inalie able right, the lnws of a per - under in conatl desecrated but de- which is indicated by J and ite parposes be consul prodicl been not stroyed.

We would prefer to die as we have lived, under one flag, with one name, with the con- stitution which our forefathers conquered and con- secrated with their blood, like the rainbow spanni our beloved country, still “the land of the free an the home of the brave.” But it cannot be disguised, and must not if it could; that the-free States, as they are called, con- stitute now the jority, and upon their will, upom their wisdom ant Be a) it Sependa, and not upon the wi of the South, whether the things which we have indicated shall be done or not. But this we may and must say, that the South is now forewarned, and she will be recreant to herself and all the great hopes of liberty and ye dees the white man and responsible for much of ill which may follow, if she be not forearmed; if she does not proceed with- out delay to provide all the peaceful and consti- tutienal means within her power to place herself im a condition to meet the crisis when it comes. First among these is the restoration of her commerce and the encouragement of herown manu- factures. We urge you, therefore, most respectfully, but most earnestly to send delegates to the approaching Convention at Montgomery, and let them be of your ablest, best tried and most trusted sons—for the presence of such is demanded by the distempered state of the times and the magnitude of the inte- rests to be considered. Let not the sneers or denun- ciations of yeur opponents or your enemies deter you, and shrink not under the cry of “disunion.” The Convention will not consider the question of disunion, or any question tending to produce that result. Itshopeful, peaceful, peat object will be bed percep the prosperity, and increase the wealth and power of our own beautiful and beloved South; to make her people happier, if possible, and more witl- as well as more able, to perform all their duties in the Union, if returning reason and patriotism shall arrest the march of fanati- cism and stay the hand of oppression. But if lost reason shall “never be found and patriotism and meahy have been extinguished—if those who hould be our brothers should prove to be malignant and implacable foes, and cupidity and ambition shall dissolve the tie which binds us together, still our work will have been well and wisely done, if we succeed in restoring the commercial ipdcuehiaae of the South, and build up our own towns and en- rich our own people by our own means, which now build up and enrich others—for the Southern States will then be prepared more fully to meet the issue thus forced upon them, and able to defend as well as justify their position when they shall be compel- led “‘to assume among the Powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of na- ture and of nature’s God entitle them.” Earnestly we bee ba then, men_ of the South, turn out and send delegations of your noblest sons to the Convention, James Lyons, of ges. } T.
