(hjjratucif # Sentinel PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY, BY W. S. JONES. SUN I>AV MOBS’G, DEC. 9, 1860. The menage Os President Buchanan is, in our opinion, a very cairn, judicious and sensible document—and this, we believe, is the first time we have hail it in our power to commend him. About half of it is de voted to our present troubles—and the remainder very lew people care to read, feeling compara tively little interest in it. The first part will un doubtedly have more* readers than any President’s message ever had before. The prevalent idea, too, that this is the last message of the President of the United States, will give it more interest, and secure more readers. Mr. Buchanan, in the strict line of legality, holds that a State has not a constitutional right to secede from the Union at will—but merely that each State—and why not each community—has the inherent right to throw off any authority which may become distasteful to it, any authority which its citizens may consider perilous to their prosperity, happiness, security and honor. This is well argued indeed—if such a question as the constitutional right ot secession requires any ar gument at all. It is a simple absurdity to say, or suppose, that any government, in the very act of its formation, made distinct provision for its own destruction. It is a matter not to be decided by argument; in the nature of things it can only be (fetermined authoritatively when the trial comes. In fact, it is absurd to talk about rights in this en lightened age any way. All men ought by this time to know that there is no such thing as a right anywhere, unless there be the power to en force it. But while the President denies the right to se cede, he shows himself a stateesman in that he declares that there exists nowhere in the govern ment any right to coerce a State which attempts to exercise the right of secession. The President is not empowered by Congress, neither can be, witii any authority to force a State to remain in the Union against its will. If a man marry of his own free will, it does not by any means follow that he can absolve himself from the marital obli gation of his own free w ill ; aud should he at tempt it, the laws of civilized society step in to prevent him, and they will prevent him only if tin- laws can be executed. So while a State forms a compact of its own free •ill, it does not follow that it can of the same will, annul at plea sure its obligations to its co-States, but it certainly may do so when the co-States and the chief of the pact have neither authority, power nor w ill to prevent. As we said mouths ago, the right is a question ot no practical importance—not w orthy a statesman’s attention—but the questions are. is there any power to coerce a State, aud is it worth the doing? We believe with the President, that there is no such power, and certainly it is not w orth exercising, if it existed, because the theory of the Govet nrnent is, that it is a Government of consent solely. Is it became necessary for the Federal power, or for a co-State, to coerce another in j remaining in the family, then the Union our lathers made is clearly at an end. The President says truly he must enforce the laws, as his oatli requires, and he will do it to the extent of his ability ; but lie manifestly has no ability where he has uo Federal Judge, Attorney or Marshal, lie says also that he must, will aud cun collect the revenues in all events —but we are at a loss to know how that is to be done, where there is no Collector. He lias no authority to collect the revenue on board ship, so far as we know'. The fact is that when a State secedes, right or no right, she is independent in all respects of the Federal Government, if her power equal her Je tt r ruination— and that is almost sure to be the ease in the emergency likely soon to arise. As regards the Tariff the President wisely re commends specific, instead of ad valorem duties, t bo levied from an average of several years’ pri ces in the shipping ports. That, we believe, lias secured the approval of Mr. Toombs, even since he abaudoned Whiggery, because he did not ne cessarily abandon statesmanship at the same time. But this is a matter not likely to concern our readers much. On the whole, we think very well of the Message. No Party Ism. Wk are all exceedingly anxious to do away with parties—at least we all say so. Certainly we have ii:> further use for the Uki.l, Breckinridge or l>jiiGLxs parties; but so long as poor human 11a lui o remains as it has been since the days ol Adam we much fear that parties are inseparable irom every apparently free government. In the present great crisis in our national affairs, ail men are beseeched to have done with parties, at least with the old parties, and to unite now for resistance. We believe we are all united now for some sort of resistance, but the human mind is so organized, and human passions are of such char acter, that we cannot all think alike. While favoring resistance, various plans are pro posed, by which to manifest that resistance, and make it effective. The surest way to have par ties, and to keep up parties and party organiza tion and hostilities, is to encourage the caucus system —the system of meeting together, in what is called conventions, for the purpose of nominat ing candidates for any and all offices. This sys tem has come to be a great curse, and is a hum bug withal—not necessary to the proper dis charge of any duties of citizenship, though abso lutely essential to keep up varty organization.— Two, or three, or more parties, by the action of .those who have the inclination or the desire to attend nominating caucuses, put in nomination their candidates, and then, by the inexorable and tyrannical usage (become law) of party, the citi zens are deprived of their right of free and unres tricted suffrage, or else read out of the party. By the present and late custom the few really make the candidates, and then compel the many to re gister their edict at the polls, or else lose their votes. This seems to us an opportune time, when the cry of no party is heard every where, to com mence a reform much needed; and therefore we would suggest that the intermediate and unauthor ized caucus system be abandoned entirely, leaving the people, according to die theory of our gojvern ( merit, to govern, themselves, by voting for whom soever they prefer to represent them. And our ad > ice to all the voters of Georgia is, to go the polls next January, and vote for their own choice, re gardless of parties and of nominations. Discoveries in California.— A San Francisco paper describes some of the natural wonders of the “Coso Silver Region,” of which so much has been said of late. A group of mammoth trees in East ern Tulare is represented to eclipse the famous ones of Calaveras. The writer says: As we ascended the first range we began to tti ike a heavily timbered country, mostly yellow piue interspersed with white oak. After reaching the summit of the first range we bore gradually to the right, and traveling in an easterly directio 1, we entered a forest of redwood timber that aston i -bed the natives themselves. Calr.veras, with her large trees, is nowhere. People from every section of our States,(Visalia not excepted,) are traveling hundred of miles to visit thelarge trees of Calaver as, which, if my memory serves me, are few in num ber, and the largest measuring but 32 feet in diam . er. Tulare beats that to myknowledge, for after traveling amongst these monsters for several mil s, io-sitating and arguing with my companions about which was the largest, I alighted from my horse and measured one that was a little over thirty - three feet in diameter, and supposed to be at least three hundred feet high; so that the good people r.f Calaveras can stand aside, or if it is their pleas ure, they can visit the Red woods of Eastern Tu lare, and view with wonder and amazement the crowned monarchs of the forest. ” A Heroic Wife. —The heroic conduct, on the burnt steamer Pacific, of Mrs. J. W. McDonald, who was traveling with her husband who was ly ing very low at the time with consumption, was a subject of general admiration. The announce ment of the conflagration was too much for his delicate nerves, and the poor man swooned and died under the excitement. The wife refused to leave the corpse of her husband to the merciless, liery elemeut, but stood bravely by his death-bed until the flames licked the panels of the stateroom in which the corpse lay. In vain she offered al most fabulous sums to any one who would convey the body to the shore; and in her sheer despera tion she caught up the lifeless form and bore it to the cuards of the boat. It fell from her grasp, however, and was destroyed, it is presumed with the boat. Mrs. McDonald remained in Union town after the disaster, in tfie hope of gathering up the ashes of her deceased husband: THIRTY-SIXTH’ CONGRESS—2d Se*’n. IN SENATE Dec. 5. The Senate met at aoon, and was opened with prayer. Mr. Green introduced a resolution that the Com mittee on the Judiciary be instructed to inquire into the propriety of providing by law and establish ing au armed police force in the border States, slave and free, for the purpose of maintaining general peace between the States and for prevent ing the invasion of any of the States by the citi zens of another, and aiso for the more elficieut ex ecution of the Fugitive Slave Law. Mr. Cameron moved that it be made the of the day lor next Monday. Adopted. Mr. Hale moved to reconsider the vote to print the President’s Message. He said if he under stood the Message, it first showed that South Carolina has just cause to secede, and secondly, that she has uo right to secede, lie did think the President should have pointed out to Con gress some rule for the guidance of Congress.— He had failed to look tho thing in the lace. We must look to the ballot box or war for the termi nation of our difficulties. South Carolina asks no counsel. She considers disunion a settled ques tion, aud is arming herself. The voice of the ma jority, as announced at the ballot box, would not be submitted to. The Northern States were said to be the aggressors. Gentlemen on the other side would listen to aspersions of their fellow-citi zens rather than own their convictions. We are trying an experiment. Our Republic has not outlived the soldiers who fought her battles and won her victories. We have obtained what we have by great effort—at the price, not of revolu tion, but patriotism. But, comparing with a con test'reaching far back in English history, we are coining to the culminating point. The civil war of England was insignificant to our conflict. I hope we shall settle things peaceably ; but, if we can’t, we must look the danger straight in the face. The South refuses to submit to the coining Administration.” Mr. Brown, of Mississippi—ls you go to the right we will go the left and vice versa. -Mr. Iverson—The States withdrawing disclaim urther allegiance. We intend to go out of the Union before the fourth of March. Five States will go out. Arkansas and Louisiana will call a Con vention pretty soon. The Black Republicans in tend to use their power to put down slavery, and our policy is to get out of the Union while we have strength. Nothing under Heaven can prevent it. Talk about the repeal of the Personal Liberty bills—that will not prevent it. We don’t fear them much, but w r e most dread mob laws. We intend to go out, “peaceably if we can, forcibly if we must.’’ The next twelve months w ould lind a Southern Confederacy tally established, and in my opinion, the most prosperous and and pow erful ever seen. We don’t apprehend war, but, if the North attempt to coerce, it will come ! If the Senator from New Hampshire wants it, we will give it to him. We are preparing to tight for our liberties, rights and honors. We are uot a feeble race of Mexicans that can be easily over come. 1 believe we will have a united people and agree harmoniously. I hope the North will see that it is the best policy to let us go, and make treaties of commerce with us, rather than attempt to coerce us. We will give them all possible ad vantages, and both of us will be able to live in the exercise of greater friendship. There is now an enmity between the Northern aud Southern peo ple deeper than heU ! No one on the other side of the Chamber conn* here to exchange courtesies, neither do we go there. We are enemies. North erners hate the South greater than any other country does. A’e don’t feel the loss of their love, and the sooner we separate the better. The Senator from New Hampshire had better take care. If war comes, we will meet the myrmidons ot the abolitionists. Mr. Davis hoped they would print the Message, whether good, bad or indifferent. As long as we are in alliance threats are of uo avail. Mr. Wigfall said no man can deny that the con stitutional compact between the States is that each State shall act for itself and on its own re sponsibility. lie compared the violation of the laws by the States to a foreign power breaking its treaties with us. A message from the House was received inform ing the Senate that it had passed the bill to se cure homesteads to actual settlers onjtlie public domaiu. v - Mr. Wigfall continued—ls violence is offered to the States of the South, the people will be called together to declare whether they desire to remain in the Union. If they believe that they will live more happy and prosperous under another gov ernment, they will assert that by forming a Con stitution. The more I read the President’s Mes sage, the less I comprehend it. I conclude that the President believes that it is impossible.to maintain the organization of the Federal Courts in South Carolina, or enforce the decisions of the judicial tribunals; but whether the State secede or not, he has power to collect customs there, and has power tor holding possession of the forts. I intend Introducing at an early day a resolution to ascertain whether an order has gone from the War Department in reference to the matter. I believe tlie President will precipitate the very measures he seems intending to avoid. It will be necessary to put a construction on the Message to know what the President intends doing. After then we will urge forbearance no longer. Then we will trust in the God of battles. Mr. Saulsbury said —It is not my intention to prolong this unnecessary aud most unfortunate debate. I rise simply to say, in the presence of the representatives of the States of the Union, that my State, having been the first to adopt the Federal Constitution, will be the last to do any act, calculated or having a tendency to lead to a separation of these States. [Applause.] Her people did and suffered too much —performed too much service in achieving the glorious liberty which we enjoy, and in establishing the Constitu tion under which we live. No son others will raise his hands against our institutions or against the Union. When this Union shall he destroyed by the madness or folly of others—if, unfortunate ly, it should he—it will be time enough then for Delaware and her representatives to say what her course will be. [Loud applause from the densely crowded galleries. | Mr. Hamlin moved, and the Senat.e adjourned at half past two o’clock. HOUSE. The House by a vote of 68 against 125 refused to lay on the table Mr. Grow’s motion to recon sider the vote by which the Committee of Agri culture on the Homestead bill was last session re ferred to the Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union. The House then reconsidered the vote on the bill thus brought up for action. Mr, Grow said he did not desire to discuss this measure, the principle involved having been familiar to the country for the past ten years.— This bill, however, avoids the prominent objec tions in President Buchanan’s veto message. It does not propose to donate lauds but it requires a payment of ten dollars lor ICO acres. He might, if necessary, quote President Jackson against President Buchanan to show that the former was of the opinion that the public lands should not he a source af Federal revenue, lie concluded by moving the previous question, under the opera tion of which the bill i was passed—yes 132, nays7fi. Mr. Colfax moved that the Post Route bill, re turned from the Senate at the former session with amendments, be referred to the I’Qst Office Com mittee. He remarked that there had been no such bill passed for the last three years, and it was de sirous to have actiou upon it as soon as possible. Mr. Smith, of Virginia, objected, saying the government is financially embarrassed. Mr. Colfax—That’s true, but we draw our pay. He had performed his duty as to this matter, and he said in conclusion, that there were several re forms proposed in the bill, and the Postmaster General was anxious to know the disposition of Congress as to the contracts with railroads. The objections to taking up and referring the bill were persisted in. On motion of Mr. Sherman the House went into Committee of the Whole on the State of the Union, Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, in the chair, and took up the Military Academy bill. Mr. Curtis offered an amendment providing that the study of the Cadets shall uot be extended beyond four years. After a debate the amendment was rejected. The Pension bill was read, and thus, with the Academy bill, was subsequently passed. At 2 o’clock he House adjourned. Save the Leaves.— ls Brother Jonathan were as saving of manures as John Bull is be would lie a better farmer. No one knows until lie lias seen it how careful English and European farmers aud gardeners are of everything which enn be convert ed into manure, and this is one orgund of their su perority in agriculture. Now let us repeat what we have often e>aid, that few tilings are more valu able for fertilizing purposes than decayed leaves. They are Hardly inferior to barnyard manure, (lather them up now, this very month of Novem ber, before they are covered by the snow. They are abundant everywhere, lying in heads and win drows in the forest and by the roadside and by the fences in every yard. The wood lot should not be stripped clean of them; but doubtless every farmer’s land contains more of them here and there than he can find time to cart home. Gath er them up by raking or by sweeping with a large birch b’ ooin. Stake them and pack them in the large wagon; adding side boards as high as con venient; you will hardly get too heavy a load. Cart them home and use them as bedding for cat tle and horses; use them for compost in tlie sta ble yard; use them to protect tender grape vines and’ shrubs and plants in winter. Strawberry /patches will fairly sing for joy under such afeatli fery blanket. By all means save the leaves aud use them. —American Agriculturist. Large Legacy to the Swkdenborgians.—ln the Boston Probate Court on Tuesday, was offered the will of the late William Marshall, whereby a large residue of his estate which is about SIOO,OOO, is giv eu to the New Jerusalem Church in trust for a farm school. The parties opposing the will pro posed not to make u contest in the Probate, but let the case go for trial to the Supreme Court, and asked for the appointment of a special administra tor. The Court appointed a speeial administra tor, but on examining the witnesses was not in clined to allow the will, and continued the case to enable the executor to bring proof, if possible of its execution. _____ Capture ok a Slaver. —Letters from Zanzibar, received at Salem, Mass., state that the ship Sun ny South, with 846 slaves on board, had been cap tured by her Britannic Majesty’s ship Brisk, in the vicinity of Mozambique, and sent to Mauritius. The Sunny South was built in New York in 1854, by the late George Steers, and was 702 tons bur then. She was cleared at the Custom-House in New York, on the sth of August. Hancock County meeting. About two hundred of the citizens ot Hancock county met in the Court House to-day, to nominate candidates to the approaching State Convention. Men representing every variety of opinion as the best policy for the country to adopt in this hour of her peril, were present, and participated freely in balloting for their respective candidates. The meeting was organized by appointing Hon. A. J. Lane Chairman, and F. L. Little Serectary. On taking his seal, the Chairman stated in a tew appropriate remarks, the object of the meet mg, and when he had declared it open for the transaction of business, Judge Stephens, after a brief comment, introduced the following resolu tions, which without discussion, wereunanimouslv agreed to : Resolved , That all the slaveholding States, hav um a common interest, ought’ to adopt a common policy in the present great emergency, and share the same destiny ; and that no one of them can, with % due regard to the opinions and rights of the rest, adopt for herself any final and uncondi tional remedy for existing grievances, until she shall, have first taken counsel, or fairly offered to take counsel of the whole, concerning the proper mode of redressing our common wrongs, andjpro curing adequate remedy for our common rights. After the failure of such a fair aud honest effort to attain unanimous councils and to unite all the Southern States, upon a line of policy which shall preserve our rights aud secure our safety, then, but not till then, will each State stand justified before the world, and in the eyes of the Southern sisters, in taking her ovvu chosen course. We therefore urge upon our present Legislature the great importance of taking the most efficient means of procuring co-operation among all the Southern States, and especially that they pass resolutions and have them communicated to each of the Southern States, requesting the Legisla tures and Conventions of each, to refrain from such separate State action as shall be final and unconditional until there first be a conference of the whole, or a failure to obtain it. Resolved , Thai in the event ot such a conference of the whole, or any two or more of the Southern States, we feel profoundly impressed with the conviction that unanimity aud efficiency of action cannot be attained without a spirit ot concession among ourselves—a willingness on the part of each State, to sacrifice somewhat of her own pre ferred views, to the views of the rest, not how ever, sacrificing any principle which she may deem vital to her interests or honor. If this spirit shall prevail, we confidently believe, that united counsels and united action will be accom plished among most, if not among all of the Southern States, and then whether we go out of the Union or remain in it, we shall avoid the most horrible calamity of either course, the calamity of distracted, discordant and hostile divisions at home—leading to consequences, which no patriot can anticipate without horror and alarm. Resolved , That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the Representatives of this county in the present Legislature, with the request that they use their best efi’orts to have the course in dicated, adopted by that body. Resolved, That in our judgment the slave States ought to make a united demand upon those States which have violated our rights, for redress of all our grievances, and that if such demand he re fused, that Georgia and all the rest of the South ern States, ought to pledge themselves, to each other, to unite in the adoption of any and all means, to maintain our rights outside of the Union. It was agreed that the nominations” should he made by ballot, and that the gentlemen receiving the majority of all the votes cust, should be de clared the candidates. The names of several gentlemen were suggest ed, aud upon the first ballot it appeared that Judge Linton Stephens, Col. Benj. T. Harris and Col. l’hos. M. Turner were nominated by over whelming majorities. The result having been announced by the Chair, Judge Stephens was called out, and responded in a brief but telling speech. He counseled pru dence, friendship, aud unanimity in the work of redressing our wrongs. He was not yet prepared to disrupt this great government and embark upon the hazardous experiment of forming anew one. To do so would be to pronounce Repulican ism a failure, and to entail upon us the painful necessity of abandoning the wise Constitution of our Fathers for a Constitutional Monarchy and a King. Against all this, every feeling of his heart revolted; and because lie loved his government “for its protection aud its benefits,” for its histo ry and the prestige ot its name he would make one more honest, earnest effort in concert with the Southern States, to correct its abuses, and re store it to its ancient purity. Failing in this, he would then join his brethren in striking for their rights “outside of the Union.” It was moved that the proceedings be published in all the Milledgeville and Augusta papers with out discrimination. A. J. Lane, Pres’t. F. L. Little, Secy. Sparta, Dec. 4th, IW>.” Executive Department, [ Milledgeville, Gu., Dec. 5, 1860. ( On the thirtieth ult., as the Executive of Geor gia, 1 returned to tin* Senate, in which it origina ted, a bill known as the Bank bill, accompanied by a message containing the reasons why 1 with held from it my sanction. On reading the mess age, I am not informed that the Senate took any exception to the language contained in it, or con strued. it, as containing any censure upon any mem ber of that body. Some time after the message had been read and acted upon in the Senate, certain members of the House of Representatives, who seem desirous of assuming to themselves the championship of the cause of the banks in their efforts to wrong and oppress the people of this State, chose to construe a sentence in my message to the Senate, into a charge of bribery against the members of the Gen eral Assembly ; and for the purpose of getting up an issue with me as the Executive of the Shite, aud diverting the minds of the people from the true issue, and thereby shielding themselves from public indignation, brought forward a resolution in the House, calling upon me for information upon their on a construction of the language used, which resolution was passed in the midst of an excitement raised for the occasion, after a dis respectful attack, which the House permitted to be made on the Executive, in the debate, and was transmitted to the Senate for its concurrence. That body acted with dignity and deliberation, in considering the resolution ; but concurred in it as the demand had been made by the House. This resolution was commuuicated to me ; and, on the 3d instant, in response to it, I addressed to the Senate, to which body the message containing the language complained of had been addressed, a respectful, and, l trust, satisfactory communi cation, disclaiming any intention to make any charge of bribery, and stating that mv language, which was general, was directed against lobby influence, which I consider the most growing and dangerous evil in our legislation. The House of Representatives thought proper to construe this last mentioned message, as offen sive ; for the reason, as I am left to presume, that it was not addressed to them ; and, on the fourth day of this month, passed and ordered spread upon its journal, a preamble and resolution, charging that I, in my said last message to the Senate, had been guilty of an evasion of a charge which 1 could not sustain, and of an attempt to deceive; and resolving that I have violated the privileges ot the House, and failed to maintain, in my intercourse with that body, that dignity of deportment which becomes the Chief Magistrate of Georgia. The charges Contained in said preamble and resolution, are unjust and wholly destitute of truth, in the following particulars : Ist. My message to the Senate, in response to said resolution, contains no attempt to deceive, aud no evasion of a charge ; as it frankly disa vows the construction put upon the language of my veto message, by the resolution. 2d. I have violated no privilege of the House of Representatives. As the House, in the debates upon said resolutions, compromitted its dignity by permitting one or more of its members to make a personal attack upon the Executive of the State, and to descend to low personal abuse, un becoming the character of a legislator, no rule of privilege known to parliamentary usage, entitled the House to a reply. 3d. As the House, by its own unparliamentary course, as spec fled above, precluded a reply from the Executive, none was given ; and I have had no official intercourse with the House, upon the subject matter of that resolution. Therefore, the charge that I have not maintained proper dignity, in au intercourse which never existed, cannot be true in fact. I therefore, enter this, my solemn protest, against the said preamble and resolution, passed by the House of Representatives, on the 4th iust.; because they were conceived in passion, promp ted by a spirit of personal revenge and not of public duty—undignified in their bearing, untrue m their statements, and unjust in the assault which they make upon a co-ordinate branch of the government. And I order this protest to be spread upon the permanent records of the Exe cutive Department, and published in such ‘'news papers in this State, as may publish said preamble and resolution of the House. After the disclaimer made in my message to the Senate, in response to said resolution, should any member of the House feel conscious of guilt, and persist in applying to himself a charge of bribery or dishonesty, I have no wish to become his public prosecutor ; but deem his puuishment indeed se vere, when left to himself, to be lashed aud tor mented by the goadings of a guilty conscience.
