J*o baa,a ia lolled can over-estimate the sig nificanee or value of passing events. The ex punging from the record of Time of a system of Government is no small matter, let the people and the system sffected be what they may.— But how much more momentous is re-organi- aation. If we pull down only to build up again on weak foundations—if we lay the relentless hand of ihe Destroyer upon one hurtful error only to make room for one more repulsive and deadly, human happiness and human hopeful- neas will gain nothing by such reform as this. Was there ever a grander occasion in the power of any people that ever flourished, than the one the people of the Southern States now enjoy, of making themselves great and respect ed—and, we may say, beloved by the family of Nations? Burke talked eloquently of chiv- alric honor as the cheap defence of Nations.— In Cotton and Good Faith the South possesses a guarantee of peaoe and respectability far cheap er than the entire armament of the world, though that power was given us free of cost.— Our defences and our victories may be all bloodless, if we wish it. What we now want is unity of purpose, unity of spirit, and no look ing back. So far as unity of purpose goes in reference to the United States Government, we think there oannot be a question—we speak,of course, of the Seceding Cotton States. Too muoh of “faith, hope and charity," on our part, and for far too long, has been disregarded and con temned by the North to leave us the slightest ground for expecting s returning sense of jus tice and fraternal duty on their side. We do not say this lightly. Surely the Southern man who has made most promises for the North who has oftenest counseled forbearance and compromise, and predicted good results from long suffering, has belter esuse than any oth er to strike, aud strike without mercy, that fell remorseless enmity which has falsified the last assurance ever given on its behalf. The Southern Union man has bestoause to be the most unyielding Secessionist now, and to be the last to promise or hope good of anti. Slavery aggression. So feeling and believing, we say to tbe world let that hostility reap what it has sown. We cannot now spare time for lecturing a crasy fanaticism, or spare faith for expecting “ grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles.” We can spare that sort of vintage, if it can ■pare us But one thing we cannot do without —we want our own people, and we want them all. One heart, one mind, with the “pull al together," and we are safe. No folly could ex ceed that of the spirit which, in the present exigenoy, would canvass the right of a son of tbs South to stand by his home. The question to ask is, Is he there, armed and equipped, body and soul ? and not bow became to be there. If in this spirit every man springs to his tent and we start out, from the very first, deter mined that hereafter no party, for mere party's sake, shall live in these 8tatet, we will, in a half century, show to the world such a people and suck a Government as has notsxistedsinoe the days of the Theocracy. Take the map and look at the peculiar geography of every South ern State which will, sooner or later, come into our league. Hardly a State among the grand constellation that has not prodigious manufac turing and producing resources united. Th* danger really is, that, unless Public Virtue, Religion and Education are all active, a mate rial superabundance wiU overthrow ns. To the canae of public faith, moderation and conservation of plantation economy and char acteristics, in bshalf of every industry we can advanUgoonsly introduce, and in support of the principle of making haste slowly, and of letting well enough alone, we oemmit ourselves and onr journal. 4 HtvsluUsnary risl—Jln Alt cling teen*. At a meeting of the Deraecratlo State Con vention. at Albnny, New York, Chancellor Walworth made his appearance on the platform, in support of the resolutions there adopted, and after being hailed with an outburst of en thusiasm, addressed the Conventloa as fol lows: Gentlemen oj the Convention :—I am far ad vanced in years, and not in the habit of atleDd- iag Conventions of this character, but I could not resist coming here to enter my protest •gainst civil war. 1 have seen the horrors of such a conflict. In the war of 1812, my house at Plattsburg was saoked by the British. A battle was fought opposite my very door, and the bullets that were fired fell like hailstones around my dwelling. In the casement of my door remains to this day embedded one of those bullets, a meoieato of the fight. In that struggle I saw my fcllow-oitisent shot down by my side. 1 know, then, the horrors of a foreign war, and they are nothing com pared with the horrors of oivil war. A civil war is a war among brethren. Wa are all brethren in this confederacy of States —tbs people of the South are our brethren— not only nominally, bat aotually our brethren. In Georgia alone, I have the names of one thousand oitisens whose ancestors wsr# the near relatives of my own. In the same State alone, are over one hundred relatives of the family of Hillbouas, whose name is known as that of one of the patriots of the Revolution, and whose defendant now ocoupiea a seat in our State Senate. And so, scattered all over the Southern Slates are the near relatives of the men of the North, and perhaps there is scarcely a member of this Convention who has not some such ties in the 8tates of the South. It would be as brutal, in my opinion, to send men to butcher our own brothers of the South ern 8taie», as it would be to uassaere them in the Northern States. We are told, bowev er, that it ie our duly to, and wc must enforce the laws. But why—and what law* are to be enforced ? There were laws lhal were to be enforced in the time of the American Revolu tion, and the British Parliament and Lord North sent armies hers to enforce them. But what did Washington say in regard to the en forcement of those laws? Thai man—honor ed at home and abroad more than any other man on earth ever was honored—did be go for enforcing the laws ? No, he went to resist the laws that were oppreasive against a free people,fend against the injustice of which they rebelled. Did Lord Chatham go for enforcing the laws? No, be gloried in defence of the liberties of America. He made that memora ble declaration in the British Parlisment: “If I were an American citizen, instead of as 1 am, an Englishman, i never would submit to such laws—never, never, never!” Such is the spirit that animates our Southern breth* ren, and shall we war upon them for it ? No, we must avert oivil war if possible, and I close by exhortiog my brethren to do all in their power to avert oivil war. Concession, concil iation—anything but (hat—and no man amongst us in his dying hour will regret that his conscience is clear, and that be oan lay his hand upon his heart and say, “ I did all in my power to turn from the bosom of my country the horrible blow of oivil war.” Immense sensation followed the remarks of the venerable old Chancellor, and the deep si lence that had attended the remarks was fol lowed by an enthusiastic outburst of applause. Mr. Georgs, of Orange, and Mr. Souter of Queens, each natives of Virginia, responded in touching terms to the remarks of Chancellor Walworth, and a large portion of the Conven tion gave vent to their feelings in tears. The scene was rendered yet more impressive and affecting when Mr. W. H. Carroll took tha floor, and with all the eloquence of deep feel ing appealed to the North to stay its hand ere it did any act to plunge the country into civil war. The venerable appearance of Mr. Car- roll, and his n’lusion to his ancestors, one of whom signed the Declaration of Independence, while hie grandfather (Daniel Carroll) ceded to the United States his manor, on wbieh now stands the Federal Capitol, touched the heart of the Convention, aud when he had closed, a unanimous call was made for the adoption of the second resolution against oivil war, by ac clamation, and it was carried with a burst of applause that made the rafters of the building ring. This scene was the great feature of the morning session. The resolutions were then adopted without amendment. Interesting Events of the M/ay. On February 4th, 1799, the American Gene ral Moultrie defeated two hundred British at Royal Island, South Carolina, and drove them off the Island. General Moultrie had one lieu tenant and seven private* killed. The British lost moat of their oflioers, and several prisoners were taken. February 4th, 1794, the French Convention gave the/rafrrnal kies to the deputies of Saint Domingo, one of whom was a black, one a mu latto, and ono white. At the same time they deoreed that all men of color, whom a tyrani- cal force had made slaves, were still free and equal citiaens as whites. February 4th, 1861, the Peace Convention met in Washington to settle the difficulties which threatened the disruption of the Confed eration of the United States of America. On the same day, the Southern Congress met in Montgomery, Alabama, for the purpose of organising a Provisional Government, and adopting such measures as may be necessary for the maintainanoe of Southern Indepen dence. jHE*The Washington correspondent of the New York “Times” says: “Thera are three thousand men drilling nightly in this city.— They swear fidelity to the Union. The Breck inridge Guards, and Southern Volunteer com pany united, drill nightly; the latter ie in fa vor of ft Southern Confedereey. Two compa- nies arrived here to-day en route for Fort Mc Henry.” 10“ In the Illinois Leglelatnre on Friday In the debate on the military bill, Mr. Green ■aid: " Should ibis State (Illinois) be inva ded by the South, hla constituents residing on ike border, would repel the foe end defend the honor and msjesty of the State ; but," said he, “should you of the North attempt to psee over the border* ef our State to •utyugat* a Southern State, you would be met tbia tide of the Ohio river, nnd you should net ehed the fraternal blood ef our Sent hern brethren un til you had first pasted aver the dead hadieeef ihe gallant sens of Egypt." The /Mars and /Stripes, “You may attempt to reduee us to subjec tion, or you may, under color of enforcing your laws or collecting your reveune, blockade onr ports. This will be war, and we shall meet it with different but equally efficient weapon*.— We will not permit the consumption or intro duction of any of your manufacturae. Every sea will swarm with our volunteer militia of the ooean, with the striped bunting floating over their heads, for we do not mean to give up that flag without a bloody struggle. It is ours as muck 'as yours, and although for a time more stare may shine on your banner, our children, if not we, wiU rally under a constellation more numerous and more resplendent than yours.” The above patriotic and eloquent passage, from the speech of the Hon. John Slidell, of Louisiana, in his farewell to the Senate on Monday, says the New York “Day Book,” will find a response in every true American heart. If a Southern Confederacy be formed, and it shall adopt the Constitution with the Dred Scott interpretation, and then place over it the glorious Stars and Stripes, it will have a moral foree and power that will as surely ultimately annihilate the Black Republicans as if God in Uis anger should visit them with the avenging punishment of the destroying angel. And why. indeed, should the South give up her claims to the American Union or the American flag? Has she not beeu true to both? While a majority in nearly every Northern State for years past, under the lead of a fanatical party, have trampled upon both, the Southern SttMei have patriotically sustained them; and now, if she finds herself compelled to rescue them from destruction, let her not abandom them to traitors and disunionists. What! leave all the glnrions associations, ail the blessed memories of the Stars and Stripes to such faithless cow ards as Sumner, Hale, Giddings. Chase, Greely and 8eward ! Forbid it, heaven ! It has cost thousands and teus of thousands of lives, and millions of treasure, to make that standard what it is. It ha* been compelled to fight its way through long and doubtful war*, our fath ers' blood has made it holy, and if, as Colonel Davis truly said, it must be laid aa de, even for a moment, “let it be preserved as a sacred vesture;” let no band rudely assail it, but let it be revered for the memory of the past.— Above all, let it not be given up to Abolition traitors. Let not its prestige and glory be claimed by those who have fought against eve ry step of our national progress, who have ever sympathized with its enemies and given them “aid and comfort.” If our voice oould be of any avail, we would say, if a Southern Confed eracy is to be formed, adopt it, with a star for every loyal State for the present, no matter what just now may be their position, and trust to the future to set all things right. That num ber should be sixteen, one for gallant New Jer sey—a State that has never paased a law try ing to evade in the slightest degree the Federal Constitution. Such a course as this will re lieve the Southern movement entirely of the charges of “ disunion,” aud “secession from the Union,” now eo delusively urged by the Republicans in the Northern Slates, and by which they succeed in deluding thousands of well-meaning people, who are thoughtlessly carried away by words instead of things. In this way the illogical position in which the South are now made to stand by their enemies, will be obviated, and they will appear both on the surface as well as in reality, to be fighting for the Union—/or the Constitution and/or the American flag, as it is, as it was, and as it ever shall be—the glorious emblem of a white na tionality. Who will be traitors then ? Those who stand by the Constitution as it has been judiciously explained, or those who trample upon it and reject it as thus interpreted ? Then, too, we ■hall have the correct issue before the people of the North which our dishonest Democratic politicians have so long determined should not be placed before them. Then we can test the question as to whether our Northern fellow- citizens are true to the Constitution as it was formed, or whether they prefer to have it mis interpreted by Seward, Sumner, Giddings and the whole crew of debauched and degraded anti-slaveryites, who, for years, have been in league with British Tories to overthrow it. In a word, we shall then be able to test whether the Northern masses prefer negro freedom to white men’s freedom. Such are some of the issues, which, through much doubt, dimness and uncertainty, seem to be gradually looming up before the mind in the no distant future. If the “Peace Confer ence” at Washington shall be fruitless of any harmonious results, as is now almost univer sally conceded it will he, then we presume there can be no doubt as to the course o f Vir ginia, and as she goes so goes all the border State*. It will then become simply a question a* to whether we of the North shall join the United States or whether we shall become a Northern Republic in name, to be governed by the Sewards, the Chases, the Greeleys, theGid- dingses and perhaps ere long be annexed to Canada and come again under the British crown. Such an issue as that both interest and patriotism will invite the Northern people to acoept, and in lest than twelve months dis cussion, with each facts and arguments as are readily accessible to them, we cannot doubt they would become as firmly convinced of the right of negro subordination as Alabama now ia, and as resolute in defending the Stars and Stripe* as the emblem of white supremacy, as any “ fire eater” on the banka of the Santee or Tombigbee. quick Work. Our readers ar* aware that the authorities of the State of New York, a short time einco, seised several boxes of arms destined for Geor gia—the property of the Measre. Hodgkins of Macon. Well, our Gov. Brown, on being in formed of the fact, promptly demanded of the Governor of New York the restoration of th* arms, which not being done, Gov. Brown direc ted Col. Lawton to “ seize and hold, eubjeot to my (His Excellency's) order, every ship" at the time “in the harbor at Savannah belong- to citizens of the btate of New York." Col. Lawton accordingly seised and took possession of two barks, two brigs and one schooner— worth, perhaps, $10,999. Information of tho prompt and resolute action of Governor Brown having been communicated to the New York authorities, they at once and unconditionally ordered the restoration of the arms! 2o 7W- CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA. beeU^Forhei*Mpto, Jirraaeo, Davii, of Miuiuippi, President.

All other portions of the Constitution are al- moat identical with that of tbe Constitution of the United 8tates. MoNTeoiisar, Feb. 9, 1861. There was unusual interest manifested by outsiders to-day, and the Convention Hall and Gallery was crowded. Hon. C. G. Meraminger, of South Carolina, presented a beautiful model of a flag, made by South Carolina ladies, with a blue cross on a red field, seven stars on the cross. Tbe flag was highly admired. Mr. Memminger also presented another mo del by a gentleman from Charleston, with a cross and fifteen stars on a field of stripes. A committee was appointed to report on a seal, arms and motto for the Confederacy. Tbe President was directed to appoint Com- ittce* on Foreign Affairs, Finance, Military and Naval officers, Judiciary, Porters, Com merce, Patents and Printing. Hon. Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi, was elected President, and A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, Vice Preadent, by a unanimous vote. A resolution was adopted appointing a Com mittee of A'abama deputies to inquire and re port what terms and suitable buildings in Montgomery can be secured for theuseo'f the executive departments of tbe Confederacy un der the Proviaional Government. A bill was passed continuing in force until repealed or altered by Congress, all laws of the United States in force and use on the 1st of November last, not inconsistent with the Con stitution of the Provisional Government. It is understood under this law that a tariff will be laid on all goods brought from the United States. A resolution was adopted instructing the Fi nance Committee to report promptly a tariff for raising a levenue to support the Govern ment. A resolution was adopted authorising the ap pointment of a Committee to report a Consti tution for the permanent Government of the confederate States. The Congress was about two hours in secret session, the balance in open session. A great demonstration was made at night— Among other things, a complimentary serenade was given to Hon. A. H. Stephens, whioh brought the Vice-President out in a most elo quent speech, an abstract of which will pro bably be published. Messrs. Chesnut and Keitt, of South Coroli- na, Conrad, of Louisiana, and others spoke. One hunirod guns were fired onCapiiol Hill in honor of the new Confederacy. LATEST! Inauguration of Vice*Preeideut Stephens. MosiTOoMsnr, Feb. 11—The Convention met at 11 o’clock. After prayer, the Committee appointed to no tify Mr. Stephens of his election as Vice-Pres ident of the Southern Confederacy, reported that that gentleman would, at the request of the Committee, announce his reply in open session at one o’clock, P. M. Mr. Conrad’s Resolution was adopted ap pointing a Committee of five to report a bill establishing an Executive Department for the Confederacy. Mr. Stephens’ Resolution was adopted, mak ing tho Natal aud Military Committees tepar- ate and also appointing Committees on Public Lands, Indian Affairs, and Territories. The Convention subsequently went into se cret session. After a recess of half an hour, it re-assembled at one oolock, P. M. The President announced that the hour to hear Mr. Stephens had arrived. Mr. Stephens then aroee and said : I have been notified, bv the Committee, of my election as Vice-President of the Provis ional Government of the Confederate States of America The Committee requests that I shall make known to IhiaJhodv, in a verbal reanouse, my acceptance of the high position to which I have been called. This 1 now do, in their au gust presence, before yon, Mr. President, before this Congress, and before this large concourse of people assembled here, under the bright sun and brilliant skies, which now smile eo auspi ciously upon us. I take the occasion, also, to return my most profound acknowledgments for this expression of confidence on the part of Congress. There are reasons why I place an unusually high es timate on it. The considerations wbieh have induced me to accept it, I need not state ; euf floe it to say, that it may bo deemed question able whether any good citisea oan refuse to discharge say duty that may he assigned to him by his country in the hour of its need. It might be expected thftt I Maenid indulge in remarks on the state of public affairs, the dangers which threaten ua, and the most ad visable measures to bo adopted to most the pressing exigencies. But allow me to say, in the abaenoe of tho distinguished gentleman he is not Providentially detail come* yea will bear from him tm thee#difficult 3 ueslious; and I doubt not that we shall cor- iallj and harmoniously concur in the line of policy that bis superior wisdom and states- maosbip shall indicate. In the meantime, in reference to theae mat ters, we inay very profitably direct attention j to such as the providing necessary postal ar- | rangemanta, making provision for lb* transfer 1 of the Custom House from the jurisdiction of j the separate States to that of the Southern Con- ] federacy, and the imposition of such duties as ] may be necessary to meet present and expected 1 exigencies. | Iu the exercise of the power to raise rev*. I nne, w* ere limited to the object of revenue— I a small duty, not exceeding ten per centum upon importations, whioh, Ills believed, will be sufficient for this purpose. We can also be devoting ortr attention to the Constitution for the permanent government, which should be stable and durable, and which is one of tbe objects of our assembling here.— 1 am now ready to take the oath of offioe. The oath of offioe was accordingly adminis tered. A Committee of two from each Slate was then appointed to prepare a permanent Con stitution. PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTIOW. Great Meeting in Baltimore. THE WORKING MEN OF NEW YORK COM FLIMENTED—SPEECHES OF HON. R M. MCLANE AND EX-GOVERNOR LOWE. The Baltimore “American” contain* an account of a large and enthusiastic meeting in Baltimore, to protest against the course of Gov ernor Hicke and to declare their adherence to a Constitutional Union. Dr. A. C Robinson pre sided. Win. H. Norris, Eeq., made the firti speech. Ho charged that the Governor of Mary land held his office by a perversion of the ballot-box, and though Maryland had done much to strengthen the hands of tbe Black Republicans, he still thought it not too late to save^iheday. “ When Dcssaix,” said the speak er, reached Jthe hard-fought ' k field of Marengo* he was inet by Napoleon, who told him, * This is a battle lost.' Dessaix pulled out his watch and said— 1 Why, it is but two o’clock, there ia time yet enough to win another battle!” The resolutions were then read. The follow ing are the most important: Resolved, That the maintenance of the Fed eral Union, with the Constitutional guarantees which surround it, is to the people of Mary land paramount to all other things, as the source of their material, social and political blessing*, and ought to be and is tbe only ob ject of their anxious devotion and most strenu ous efforts. Resolved, That we regard the Constitution of the United States as tbe Supreme law of the land, and that the attempt to enforoe any vio lation on the part of tbe general Government, or any State government, may be lawfully re sisted. Resolved, That wc declare our attachment to that Constitution as the bond of union between the States of this Confederacy, and faithfully adhere to the construction which it has judi cially received from the Supreme Court during a period of seventy years, and we denounce any attempt to enforces different interpreta tion as an encroachment upon the rights of the people, fatal to the tranquility of the Union. Resolved, That our ancestors who made this Constitution in 1787 have left us their lives and conduct as an example. They intended that Constitution as a character for the Government of freemen, and in it taaght us the lesson that we should in no event submit to power seeking to exercise by force an arbitary claim of right. Resolved, That the Republican party, toon to be inaugurated in power, avows, as organic law, interpretations of the Constitution fatal to the domestic peaoe and to the commercial and ag ricultural prosperty of the slaveholding 8tatea; interpretations contrary to the dicisiona of the Supreme Court, and unsanctioned by any de partment of the Government during its exis tence. These interpretations invole the dan ger which Gov. Moms apprehended, when •peaking of parties in his own day, and of the Constitution of the United Slates, he declared “That instrument was written by the fingers which write this letter. * * * The idea of binding legislators by oaths is peurile. Hav ing sworn to exercise the power granted accord ing to their true intent and meaning, they will, when they feel a desire to go further, avoid the shame if not the guilt of peijury, by swearing the true intent and oteauing to be accorded Vo their comprehension—that which suits their purpose.” Resolved, That we respond to the noble con stitutional working men of New York city, and in the spirit of fraternity we adopt, as our own, their public resolve. Hon. R. M. Me Lane, former Minister to Mex ico, then addressed the meeting in a most pa triotic speech. In the course of his speech Mr. McLane said : It is time to protest against the cunning and insidious attempt of designing politicians to identify her with tbe administration of Lin coln, as odious in Maryland, as it is in Sonth Carolina (Vociferous cheering ) Would the peo ple of Maryland submit to so degrading an atti tude! (“No,” “no.") Are they behind the people of New York, who have already utter ed their protest against the heresy of Black Re publicanism? They had uttered their protest through Mr. Lincolns chitf minister, who had. from his place in the Senate, counselled his people to fight for the Union a* the loot resort. Fight with whom/ With our brethren ef the South. By the living God, said the speaker, if the ad ministration shall dare to bring its BUck Repub lican cohorts to the banks of the Susquehana for such a purpose, that river shall run red with blood before ihe firet mon of them shall cross it. (Vociferous aud long continued cheering) J for one pledge here my life and means to march with you to the banks of the Susquehana to for bid the passage of these invaders. (Renewed ap plause) Iu ordinary times, McLane said, he recognized to the fullest oxtent all his obliga tions to the Federal Government, but the pow ers of Government must be exercieed accord iog to the forms and by the means prescribed in the Constitution, ami when these require ments ere not to be eomplh d with or violated, he would resist tbe men who came to enforce the laws of the United Slates in a seceded Btate. S. T. Wallis made the next speech, and Ex- Governor Lowe concluded with a brilliant ef fort. After shaking hands with one of the crowd under the stand, he commenced his ad dress as follows: “ You suppose that you see before too a con spirator? a dieunioniat. a secessionist and w MOSUUeiat:^ the* have got him iota th.
