T H E M EM PHIS CONVENTION. The Memphis Convention assembled on the 12ih inst There were about 500 delegates present. On the next day it w as organized by . he election o f Hon. JO H N C . C A LHOUN Pres- rient, with fourteen Vice Presidetlls and six Secretaries. On taking the chair M r. C a l h o u n made a brief address, which he was forced to suspend by hoarseness. He said he understood that the C onvention had assembled to promote the interests o f the South and West, and urged hem carefully to avoid all questions lhat could excite feeling. The following sketch o f his re m arks is from the Memphis Appeal: H e asked, what subject they could properly memorialize Congress on, and among them, enumerated the improvement o f the Mississippi — to do this, C ongress has an undoubted right, as to protect and provide for the safety o f our commerce on the ocean. H e was also in favor, and warmly urged, that Congress should com mence and perfect a system o f G u lf Defences. He declared himself also in favor o fa relinquish. A U B U R N J O U R N A L .

O liphant,—You noticed in your last publication that Mr. Dem pster is to sing at Chedell’s on W ednesday (this) evening, some of his popular airs. Ia m happy in having an opportunity of hearing Mr. D. again, by my transient visit to your village, and my assurance is that not a citizen who shall attend his concert, particularly if he belongs to the dilettante ,or be a connoiseur in music, but will meet With all the enjoyment and exquisite pleasure, chaste and thrilling music can bring. M r. Dempster is second only to W ilson, the great Scotch singer ot Queen Victoria’s Concert Rooms, and his ac cent and appropriate expression give full and {■leasing effect to the national character of the music he delineates. As a refined and eloquent vocalist, he has not in his particular line, his equal in this country ; and his abilities are so well known,that it w ould seem the taste of your citizens and their inclination to patronize the most charm ing o f the polite a rts can be judged by the attendance he receives. P. From the 8 eneca C ounty C ourier. W e are informed that H on. A sher T yler , of this village, has been selected as the agent of tbe N. Y . and Erie Railroad Company to ex amine and procure titles to the land on which the road is to be constructed. We congratulate the people along the line upon h aving so capa- M a. O liphant :—Y our correspondent C. who dates at Seipio, b u t w ho it is conjectured,resides some distance from that town, will find an ex planation in lhe Tocsin o f this week, of that part of my report w hich seemed to puzzle him so wonderfully. Some other statem ents and insinuations of your correspondent, showing a derangement of his biliary system. merit a passtng notice. His slur a t teacher’s Institutes, and at the teachers of the county, shows clearly one of | tw o ‘ things—either that he does not know the efforts and sacrifices which the teachers have made and are m aking to improve themselves and iheir schools; or knowing this, he h as not a mind and heart to see and appreciate praise worthy sacrifices and generous exertions. The time has passed w hen arguments, in this county are any longer needed, in favor of T eachers In stitutes; and I will not therefore spend time in speaking of them. It is not true, as your correspondent alledges that the wages o f teachers is less now, than formerly. In the town where he he pretends to reside, but where I apprehend his doctrines would be disowned, four o f their teachers re ceived last w inter, $ 16 per month—one 17. and- another 18 dollars per month. I h ave just v is ited the schoolsi in the town of Flem in g , and find that one of their teachers receives and another 20 dollars per month. As these are the towns about w hich your correspondent, seems to know the most, I have taken them as standards by which to m easure hts accuracy of observation. Your correspondent speaks ot the alarm ing apaihy which now pervades the public mind, in relation lo public education j endeavoring to make the impression that it is g reater now than at any former period. If he does indeed reside in the lown o f Seipio, his language is an insult to the people of that town. As a resident o f that town he knows, or should know, what im provements have been made in their schools, and what interest their patrons have taken in them, for the last two or three years. He should know that an association o f great.inter- est, was kept up d u ring the winter o f ’43 and '4 1—that at the |close of that term of their schools, an examination o f them was contin ued for three days in succession, a t the centre, and alihough the gomg was extremely bad) and lhe v/ealher stormy, still the church was well filled during the whole three days. He should know too, that during the last winter, lhe asso ciation was kept up with increasing interest,— that al several o f its meetings the church was filled—not only its seats, but its aisles were filled w ith citizens, deeply interested in the ex ercises. He should also know that for the past two years the Anniversary of o u r Independ ence has been celebrated by the Common School pupils, and citizens o f that town. W h at is true of Seipio, is, to a .great extent, true o f many other towns of the county. If these are indications of “ alarm in g apathy” to one who pretends to live where they exist, it is ume lie was sent to an institution, w here they educate those who “ have eyes but see not.” When your correspondent shall have “defined his position” in reference to what he is pleased to lerin “ new fangied improvements which have been forced upon us„”I will, with y o u r perm is sion, attend to his case in that particular. W h at your gentlemanly correspondent is pleased to say of the m anner in which 1 have discharged my official duties, is a m atter w hich he will excuse me frotn answering. This, if done at all, will be done by others. I am wil ling however to abide the decision which may be made in the premises by those, whose means of observation have been the b est—to the teach ers and town superintendents o f the county.

Although I have had the pleasure of seeing many fine specimens o f this beautiful art. I never saw any, thai for magnificence of execution, and faithfulness of representation would compare with those taken by Mr. G avii. His pictures unlike (hose taken by most other artist, present every feature as perfect as they exist in the person taken. The eyes, the expres sion of the countenance, and the complexion, are alt taken perfectly, which in my opinion render them equal, if not superior to the best M iniature L ikeness upon ivory. And I sincere- ly hope Mr. Gavit may receive that patronage from the citizens o f this village, which his tal ents and his superiority in his business deserve- Auburn, Dec. 1st, 1845. G. L. F .

NAVAL SK E T C H E S — NOv IV, B Y X. C U R T I S S H I K E , U . B . If. A Scene off Cape Horn* 11 *T was twilight, for tho sunless day went down Over the wasie of waters; like a veil. Which, if withdrawn, would but disclose the frown Of one whose hate is masked but to assail/’—Don Juan. It was a night o f storm and darkness off that terrific and never to be forgotten head-land, Cape Horn—Our noble frigate for the last ten days had been snuggling a g ainst a heavy breeze from the South West, and a tremendous head sea, without m aking an inch of progression to wards the El Dorado of our hopes, the vine wreathed shores of Chili. Officers and men were becoming discontented a n d disheartened— lhe ship, with her sides loaded with ice, rolled hammock-nettings under and plunged madly in to the great green hissing waves, as they caine thundering on like moving Appenines, deluging the decks with their briny spray. The main deck was cold and cheerless—the long ranges of guns groaning and creaking in their breech- ings, as the huge, helpless vessel wallowed about in the yeast of waters—the men pinched by the severity of the weather pacing to and fro in little sqnads, endeavoring to keep themselves from freezing by beating their hands and arm s against their sides. At this lime, I was tor. mented with a distressing ague in the face, and was forced to keep to my cot in the cock pit, and it was therefore with feelings of no ordinary pleasure, that I heard that the wind had at last hauled to the Eastw ard, and lhat there w as some prosjiect of our being able to double tbe Cape. W e had on board our ship a s passengers, the Minister from the Court of Brazil to the repub lic of Peru, and his interesting family, consist, ing of his wife (an English lady) a daughter, a girl of seventeen, and an infant son. The daughter wes one o f the most beautiful and ac complished young ladies I ever saw . Educated in England, while her father tvas a minister at the court of St. Jam es, she united all the grave, lady-like manners of that society in which her youth was passed, with the vivacity of maidens of a more sunny clime. She spoke fluently no less than four different languages, was versed m all the polite literature o f the day, and was o f a romantic and sanguine tem peram ent. She p o s s e s s e d a remarkable fondness lor ihe sea, and s a i l o r s ; a n d I h a v e s e e n h e r sit fo r h o a r s , watching Ilie great rolling waves, and the ever varying expression o f the heavens, With her s u n ny face beaming with admiration. Such was the Lenorita Florindade Lim a, as perfect a spe* cimen of female loveliness as ever emanated Irom the hand of the Deity, to light this cheer less world. I had turned into m y cot one bitter cold n ight (that night I shall never forget) wilh the pleas ing anticipation of soon roam ing the shores of Chili. The wind for once, was from the right quarter, and although it blew’ a violent gale, ou X huge ship staggered along under two double reefed topsails, reefed lore-sail, and fore storm stay- s a il; at one moment rising on the crest of mountain wave like a snow-wreath, and the rest buried in the watery and melancholy vale below. In the place where I had my quarters, the sound of the how linggale ort deck, came faintly to my ear, like the struggling and moaning sound of lhe winds amongst the distan t woods in Auburn, and lulled by the continued and monotonous roaring of the elements, I fell asleep. I was not long in the land of dream s before I was startled from my slumbers by my cot striking repeatedly and violently against the side of nty room. Starting up, I was for a m o m ent almost appalled. T h e sw ingingasiral lamp that graced our apartm e n t was extinguished, and all was a s black as the pit ol Acheron ; but could tell by the increased roaring on deck, that the storm had broken out afresh, a n d by the ship lying down so much on the side, that was fiom an adverse quarter. Occasionally could be heard the loud shrill voice o f the officer of the wa'ch, ringing through his trumpet, and fur a moment rising above the shrieking of the blast. I soon found my way on deck, and the scene was truly one of sublim ity, and awful randeur. The night was as d a rk as Erebus, ghted only .by the phosphoric <rests of the giant billows, as they, roaring and hissing, dashed their sum mits on high, as if endeavoring to sweep the sky. The Captain had rushed out of his cabin on deck in his night clothes, and with his long gray hair stream ing in the breeze, stood giving orders to the helmsmen in an ex cited tone to put up the wheel and endeavor to keep the frigate off before the tornado, which howled and bellowed through the rigging, pros trating the ship almost on her beam ends, a n d sending torrents of freezing and briny spray in a ceaseless shower along the decks, deluging and drenching the shivering and exhausted crew as they toiled at the weather maintop-sail brace, endeavoring to brace in the main top-satl y a rd. The effijris o f the tnen.io square in the y ard were however fruitless, and all hands began to look with impatienee for the appearance o f the first Lieutenant, as he was known to be a man of great energy and decision of character in cases of emergency, a n d had the entire confidence of all on board. He soon came up the hatch-way, enveloped in a huge boat cloak, and after c a st ing his eagle glance around, and surveying ihe situation of affairs, took a trumpet and ascended the horse block. “ Ease aw ay the top-sail halliards—round in the weather braces 1” sounds clear and shrill above the roaring of the gale and the dashing of the m ountain billows. “ Man the lop sail buutlines, clewlines, teef-takles, and down-hawl tak le!” After an interval of a minute or tw o > the Lieutenant in the gangway answered sharp ly ‘-all manned s ir ! ” “ Let go ihetop-sail hal liards ! lay aloft, top-men, and stand by to close reef!” The men by the light of the battle lan terns,are seen scrambling up the almost horizon tal rigging, and when all aloft, and clustered about the lower cap aud top-mast rigging, again the first Lieutenant hails—“ lay out! reef aw a y !” The unruly sheets of canvass are se cured to their respective yards, when the top men descend to the deck. Then is heard the piercing notes of lhe fifes, and the “ stamp and go” of the crew as they swing aloft the heavy top-fr-ails. After the top-sails were reefed and hoisted, the Wflis! gOl oft before tbe wind, and darted away over ihe tortured ocean like an aflliglUeil thing, \A ll lonely o'er lhe desert waste she flies, Scourgetl on by mountain waves and frowning s k i e s .” Swiltef and swifter flew the gallant frigate— B u r y i n g A l i v e .

The Wheat crop o f the present year gives promise lhal the embarrassed states of the wesl will soon be able—wheiher disposed or not—to pay all their obligations. The whole crop of the country is estimated at one hundred and twenty five million of bushels. The wheat crop of 1842. which was the largest ever previously raised in the United States, was one hundred and three millions. The increase of twenty- two millions shows not less the large additional amount o f land brought under cultivation lhan the genial character o f the last summer. The crop of Michigan is comparatively larger than any other state in the U nion. With a popula tion of not over four hundred thoasand, she raised this y ear at least seven million bushels of wheat. It is estimated that Illinois h as this year a surplus of six million bushels. An ad vance o f ten cents per bushel w ould more than pay the interest o f ihe state debt, and ihe price has already advanced more than twenty cents since the harvest.— [N. Y. Courier.

Never shall I forget the almost angelic beauty o f F lo n n d a, as wrapped in a fur m antle, she stood holding On by the mizzen top-mast back stay, her face bathed in the spectral moonbeams as she gazed on the m agnificent but terrific scene before her. “—On surrounding darkness thrown, Her cha.m s with dazzling radience shone, And to my charmed and gazing eye She seemed a being ail divine, One star upon a clouded sky, One sunbeam in Siberian m in e.” P .

I stood for a long time watching the aspects of the weather, until the ship’s bell lolled the hour o f m idnight. At this moment, casting my eyes astern, I was sensible o f an increase of darkness, and was at no loss to assign a cause for it: a mountain wave was rolling on board of u s a s te rn !

Amid the rush o f waters, I felt something brush past me, and instinctively put out one arm to arrest its progress to destruction. It was the L enorita' Florinda de L im a ! I grasped her arm with all my power, b n t it was in v a in —she was swept trom my hold, and I at the sam e time, was dashed down the hatch-way upon the m ain d e c k !

The Court held, under the rule laid down by Chief Justice M arshall in Burr’s case, that the Juror was disqualified without the latter clause. A large number o f persons were examined as Jurors bur no additional ones empanelled pre vious to recess. At the evening session there was a greater crowd o f Jurors in attendance than on any pre vious occasion, creating a perfect jam not only inside o f the court-room, but in the Halt. Soon after Judge E dmonds had commenced receiv ing excuses, &c. M r. Graham, one of the coun sel for prisoner, rose, aud, after rem arks as to the difficulty of obtaining a trial in this county, proposed lhal the proceedings be arrested and the jurors thus f-ir impanneled be discharged. Mr. C lark one o fthe counsel for the prosecu tion coincided in the view, and it was supported by Mr. Jordan. Judge E dmonds gave a history ofth e effort at em pm nelling thus far, stated that between 5 and 6000 persons h a l been sum moned as talesmen, and he had been compelled to examine upwards of 4000,either touching ex cuses or iheir fitness as Jurors. He granted the motion, and ordered that the J u ry tiuis far empaunelled be discharged.

A new W hig paper called the “V igilant ” has recently been started at D onaldsvtlle, L ou isiana. It takes strong grounds lor the noble whig T ariff o f ’42, as the following w ill show : It is the knowledge of every intelligent man, that w hen Gen. H arrison, the W hig Pres- idsnt, came into office, he found an empty treasury, and the Government charged by his predecessor w ith debts for the payment o f w hich no provision had been made. H e further found the current revenues inadequate to meet the current expenses o f G overnment, which had \al so been left uncared for by the V an B uren ad ministration. So soon as this sad condition on the financial resources o f the G overnment was correctly as certained, an extra session o f Congress w as con voked for the purpose of providing “ the ways and means” o f keeping the Government in mo tion in recovering the national credit Gen. Harrison died before ihe the assembling of C ongress; but at the extra session, the W h ig Congress addressed itself at once to the task o f lighting the condition of the country; and to this end they authorized loansand the emission of T reasury Notes loan amount sufficient to meet such calls as might be made upon Govern ment till a more perm anent system o f revenue could be devised. H aving made this tempora ry provision, they adjourned. At the next reg ular session, they deliberately took up ihis im portant subject o f revenue, encountering in all the stages of .heir labors the constant, vehe ment opposition o f a reckless and unscrupulous minority, 'whose factious efforts were encour aged by the treasonable stand taken by the act ing President, John T yler. In the mean while, the Government became more and more involv ed ; its treasury exhausted to the last dollar, and u s credit a t so low an ebb, that in attempt ing to affect a loan, the Government was turn ed off from the “ C hanges o f all Europe ; A m er ican credit was a bye word and a scorn. In the face o f every thing calculated to dishearten, this noble whig Congress shrunk not Irom their duty. Surm ounting all difficulties, they enact ed a Tariff Bill, vetoed by the traitor Tyl.-r, for reasons more obnoxious even, than his tyrani- cal exercise of the veto power. This disap pointment, and the indignation consequent up on it, did not however, arrest their action. Sa crificing a cherished feature of the original measure, they re-submilled the Tariff Bill so modified, to tne President, and his approval g iv en, the Tariff o f 1842 became the law o f tbe land. This glorious W h ig measure was carried in opposition to the almost unanimous vote of the Locofoco party, who, from the very 'd a y of us passage threatened its repeal, and have since attempted to repeal it whenever a n opportunity for showing iheir hostility has occurred. The best commentary on W hig policy asem - bodied in that act, is a comparison between the condition o f the G overnment and o f ihe country prior to, and since the passage of lhe T ariff o f 1842, T h e n , Government w as unable io burrow money on any terms. Now, U. Stales stock is sellinv either at an advance or at p ar, and ihe Government could without difficulty, procure the loan o f millions at less than 5 per cent in terest. Then, without a dollar in the T teasury, Gov ernm ent was dependent ou fresh issues of Treasury Notes, (below par in the m arket) for meeting its engagements. Now, there are sev eral millions in the Treasury, w hich will be so increased by the first of June next, as to he al most sufficient to the complete discharge o f lhe debt left by the Van Buren adminisiraiion.— Then, in every department of life, in every walk of labor or o f trade, reigned a state of stu por, dejection and dismay. Now, activity, and prosperity m ark the pursuits of our people in all the varied relations of agriculture, mechanic indtisiry, m anufactures and commerce. This policy— the policy which has showered these blessings so abundantly on the land— the Democrats are bent on destroying; against it all the efforts o f their leaders w ere aimed in 1844, arid at the Iasi session o f Congress,—against it they are continually waging war by supporting men known to be hostile to it and opposing men equally known lo be its friends, and against it Mr. Polk’s Secretary of the T reasury is now seeking to bring to bear a false, spurious, man- factured public opinion, by sending his 40 ques tions to his particular friends, ’worded in such m anner as to leave no doubt of the answers ex pected—answers which the faithful will most certainly, when thus called on, give. Let those who doubt the position and inten tion of the Democratic party in reference to this great saving measure o f protection <o A m erican labor inall its varied fields, read M r. McDuffie’s recent letter upon this subject—let them peruse the ominous declaraiions of the official and per sonal organ of P resident Polk, the Union, and every doubt m ust yield to tbe certainty that lhe Tariff of ’42, so far as ihe Administration and its friends are concerned is a doomed measure.

U n io n : An outrage was perpelraied in this county, on the 10 th inst., w hich resulted in the death of W m B. Norman, deputy sheriff o f this county, and the abduction and supposed murder of M rs. Sarah Dinning. The particulars o f the transaction are as fol lows : Some twelve months since, M rs. S arah Dinning gave snch information that her hus band, Jam es Dinning, Granville Dinning, An thony Dinning, and Waslringion M organ, who had been suspected of being engaged in repeat ed acts of larceny, as was sufficient lo author ize their arrest upon the charge of stealing a a barrel o f w hiskey. They vvere all indicted, and W ashington M organ was alone arrested. Sarah Dinning was the only witness against him, and great fears were entertained for her saiety, several attempts having been made lo get her off. M organ was tried, which resulted in a mis-trial. Sarah Dinning went to Madison D nning’s her brother-in-law, and was staying at his house. He entertained fears for her safe ty, and endeavored to get persons lo come to his house and stay nights. On the morning o f the 10 th, he saw Norman and solicited him lo come there and stay, expressing his fears for the safety o f S arah Dinning. About this time Madison Dinning and his wife, and S arah Din ning, who were in ihe house, were aroused by some one knocking at the door and calling, they recognised lhe voice of Jam es Dinning, and re fused to open the door. Several guns were fired; and Madison Dinning jumped oni o ftiie window and w ent off to the neare-t neighbor The di or was broken open and Jam es Dinning entered with his gun in his hand and demanded his wile S arah Dinning; and, afier searching for her, found her where she had hid under a bed ; he pulled her out, took her up in his arms, and bore her off—she struggling and scream in g with al! her might. In the meantime, Madison Dinning returned with some o f his neighbors and discovered the dead body o f N orman about tw enty leet from the house, shot tn three places. M r. Dinning and his wife did not know that Norman was there.. It is supposed that while he was at the stable putttng up his horse, Jam es Dinning and his men went to the house and commenced knocking, and that Norman, hearing and see ing them, rushed upon them. He had in his hand when found, a revolving pistol, with three of the barrels empty. No trace, as yet has been found of the course the m urderers took. From the signs which iheir horses gave, it is thought there were ten or fifteen of them. Great excite ment prevails in the neighborhood, as Norman was popular, and as there was a great desire tliai Morgan should be convicted, which could atone be -tone upon me icsiimony of Sarah Dm* t)l Ot?.
