Now, tuking it for granted that those men nro sincere in what they *ay, was there ever before displayed siieli cool, calculating solfishness by men whoso patriotism could look be yond tho borders of their own State ? Must glorious old Virginia, patriotic Maryland, chivnlric Kentucky, nnd the other border States bear tlio brunt of tho Free-soll storm nnd hold the Gov ernment troops at bay for our protec tion, when wo have not tlio courage to make common causo with thorn in de fence of our common institutions!— Away with such cowardly and despicable counsels'! Such conduct would dis grace us forever before tho nations of the earth! But this is not the real causo of oppo sition to .Southern Union, ns wo believe.’ It lies dooper than this. A largo party in tlio cotton States desire to re-open the African slave trade! To this end, they wish tlio cotton States to form a Confed eracy without the aid of tho liorder States, making constitutional provision for tho recognition ot that traffic. They expect the border States to be por*eeii ted by the froo-soilers until tlioy will be ready to take refuge anywhere—nnd lienee, they calculntn thoy will in u few years join the Southern Confederacy, at a time, without being permitted any voico in the formation of tho Constifu- tion. Now that is tho plot of theso men, in all its naked deformity. Let tliosc who are afraid to trust tho border States on tiiis question oppose co-operation. Lot those who wish the wild savngos of Afri ca introduced among our negroes, there by depreciating their vnluo at least tlirco-tourtlis, oppose corporation; but, in Heaven’s name, lot those who view tlio matter in a different light,lorid their aid in favor of oo-operation.—Athens Watchman, Pardon of Choice.—The bill pardon ing Win.

If tlio Senator from Now Hampshire wants it, wo will give it to him. We ft»e prepared to fight for our liberties, and honors. We aro not a feeble raca of Mexicans, that can bo easily ovor- oome. I believe we will havo a unit ed people, and agree harmoniously.— 1 hope the North will see that it is tho best policy to lot us go and make treat- i commerce with us rather than attempt to coerce us. We will givo them all |>ossiblo advantages, aud both of us will Ite able to livo in tho exorcise of greater friendship. There is now an enmity botween the Northern and .Southern people do«q>er thuu boll! No one on the other side comes here to ex*- chnngo courtesies, neither do wo go there. We arc euemics. Northern men hate the South greater than any other couutry does. We don't feel the loss of their lovo, nnd the sooner we separate tho l>e.t(er. Tho Senator from New Hampshire had liotter take care; if war comes we will meet the myrmid ons of the abolitionist*. / Mr. Davis hoped thoy would print the message, whether good, bad, or in- different. As long us wo are in alliance, throats are of no avail. Mr. Wigfull said no man can deny that tlio constitutional compnol be tween the Stutes is that each State shall act for itself and or. its own ro*]>oiisi!)i ty. He compared the ’ laws by tho States to a breaking its treaties with us. A message from tho Houso was receiv ed, informing the Sonnte that it had passed the bill to secure homesteads to actual settlers on the public domaiu. Mr. Wigfull continued: If violoucois offered to the States of the South, the pooplo will bo called together to declare whether they desire to rcmniu in tlio Union. If (hey beliovo that they will live moro happy und prosperous under another government, they will assort Unit by forming a Constitution. The u\oro I read the President’s message,the less I comprehend it. I consider that the President believes that it is impossible to muintniti tlio or ganization of thofodorul courts in South Carolina or enforce the decisions of the judicial tribunals; but, whether the State secede or pot, ho lias power to collect customs there, and lias power for holding possession qF tho forts. 1 intend introducing, ut an early day, a resolution to ascertain whether an order bus gone from tho War Department in rofcreuco to the matter. 1 beliovo tho President .will precipitate tho very meas ure ho sc.ems intending to avoid.

Tho first groat thought U this; tho institution known as tho “Federal Gov* eminent,” established by the pooplo of the United States of Amorioo, Is a fall- fire. This is a fact which oauuot ho- gainsaid. It linsmvr boon in the pow er of tho "Federal Government” to on- force all its own laws in Us own Territo ry; It hits, therefore been measurably a failure from tho beginning; but ita first convincing evidence of weakness was In allowing ono brunch ofits organ ization to jmish an unconstitutional law (tho Missouri Compromise.) Its next ovidonco of decrepitude was its inability to enforce a Constitutional law* (tho fu- a itlvo slavo law,) tlio whole fabric being liakop to its foundation, by tho only attempt of enforcement mode by its chioi officer, (Frcsidont Pierce.) I nood not onlargo In this direc tion. The “Foderal Government" is a failure. Wlint then ? Tlm States, of oourso revert to tlioir original position, eauli one a sovereign within itself. Thoro can bo no oUier just conclusion.— This, then, boing our position, th© question for sober, thinking ournest men i*, what shall.wo do for tho fu* litre? 1 take It for grantod that no man in his senses would advocate the remain ing in so many petty sovereignties. We should bo worse than Muxicunized by that process. Wlrnt then shall wo do? In the first place, I would say, lot us look around and seo if there is a gov ernment of an enlightened nation that has not yet proven a failure, hut which is nqW, and lias over !>con productive of happiness to all its lav; abiding people. If Much a government can be fount!.. a government whose first and ouly object is tho tho real good, (not fancied good, an ignis fat ns which 1 fear both our fathers nnd ourselves havo too much ran after in this country) of all its peo| pie, it such n government exists, let.us examine it curcfully; if it has upparout eirors, (iis what human institution has not) let us avoid them.
