Editor Columbus Enquirers Hinco my
dispatch to yon of yesterday, nothing of
spccial intercsl has tratrepired in tLp .Cua-
ventiofi, hxcept the'speeches of Ink Com-
mis*ioneraOrr,of B. C.,and Judgo Shorter,
of Afa., which wero delivered io*day*«'60Ut
12 o’clock, after which tbo Convention ad
journed till to-morrow morning at 10
o’clock. Tbc crowd, which is larger than
on any occasion remembered, still increase,
rather than diminish, and tho general feel
ing that Georgia must aeccdoat once seem*
to grow upace. - . ♦
The most interesting incident of'the oc
casion occurred yesterday in iho organiza
tion. Soon after Gov. Crawford was nom
inated by Asbury Hull os a suitable porton
for President oi the Convention, Mr. Ste
phen*, on being also proposed, vory mod
estly dci lined and expressed the hope
that the distingu’iihcd and worthy gcntlo-
rnen ju*i nominated would he appointed by
acclamation, which, after one or two impor-
anl motion, was carried. No indication
was mmlo by the choice of Mr. Lamar of
your city, as lo v/hat will bo the voto di*
trolly on the subject uf immediate eecet sion,
nor has any move a# yet pi in led to that
result, yet tlcro is little doubt what it wiil
finally be, whether with a large or rmall
majority.
Ttro speeches of tike commissioner* were
i!ignited and *» lemn, though earnest and pa-
u'ic. Mr. Orr explained what has been re-
g rded os too prccipitato acMon ou tho part
of his Htate, as Only tho natural conse
quence of her view ol tho uocctsify of
action in thno to allow all the Stale* which
dmy K cr.de nil opportunity to oessmblo uy
tli.eir delegates to form a confederacy or
provisional government he loro the 4th ol
March—said Carolina was encouraged
thereto ns much by tbc action of Georgia
na otiy other considoiation, in Iter appro
priating a million of dollar* to arm her cit
izons to ro*l*t, and by her calling » conven
tion of her pcopln to consider of tho mode
nnd measure of that re istance
Judge Shorter’s advice was n good deal
to tho name purport, urging rti'l further,
fiowovcr,tiiai as a twin sister of Mississippi,
she might claim that their mother Georgia
-liottld meet in Montgomery on iho 4th of
Fobtuary oil tho State* thon or about to
ho separated from the present Uni
conference, hy delegatee appointed lor that
purpose.
The uddrersee were well received by an
immense crowd. 1 should not be surprised
il a motion he made lu-inorrow to pae* the
ordinnnee lor socoasion immediately, ond
pan* without much discussion. But wc
must await what time alone can disclose.
Everything ia very calm and solemn.

about the matter, wa* that there would he
at least 27 tnujoti'y of regularly elected
sccoasionists, an « flective mijorily of for
ty to dixty, and that only about forty
would refuse ultimately to sign life sc-
ccbbion ordinance. A largo number of tbe
co-oporalionists hold m*liy no inalcriul

like Hardeman, for cooperation between

nl Newton, so as lo include the Messrs.
Orinc, publishers of the Southern Record'
of, and that the printing be equally divided
between the two offices. This resolution
was further amended that the price charged
tor printing should not exceed that charged
tho Legislature. The amendments were
accepted and the resolution passed.
The correspondent of tbe Telegraph
says that after a careful count of noses, tbe
immediate secessionist* have ascertained
that they havo a majority of at least 30 in
tho Copy#nti<¥>,. certain ; but adds that
th*y anticipate, by n conciliatory course,
aectfiritif a much greater degree of una<
niinity than this, apd that they will labor
to bring'it shout. Tie adds thailon Friday
Judge Nisbet would offer o series' of reso
lutions ••declaring, in brief, that it ie expe
dient that Georgia should secede from the
Union, and untto with such States of the
A , South a* have sepeded or may secede, in
the organization of a Confederacy of South
ern States upon tho principles of tbo Con-
atitution of tbe United States.**
Tbeso resolutions, we presume, are the

Coercion ur a Pcacegble toeparatlou
Wo have now arrivod at a pf riod in our
national history, sayn tho Ctncintiqji Cou
rier .wbrnUio question" must bo decided,
whether the Southern Suite* snail bo ul
lowed pea<cably to withdraw irom tho
Union, or be coerced to remain in jt.
Tha truo policy ol tho Government
this embarrassing question is vety clear
our mind. The South evidently intends to
make common couse with South Gorulina.
and an attempt on iho purl ol tha General
Government to coerce thut Slate w ill bo re*
garded a* equivalent tu a declaxkiion of
war against the entire South . • Such a war
would bo productive oi the most disastspus
consequouces, and would render utterly
impossible any ro-union of thi llrpublic-
R sort to force can not •subjugate the
South, but will iorever alienate ns citizens
