OUnllßßl 8, TIIIKNDAY. JANUARY 31. IKAI The Polity of (Jeorgij. The Chronicle and Sentinel in a recent article un der the above caption, endeavors to convince its loaders that it is impolitic for G.orgia to’form a Union witli tbo seuediitg slave States. The gist of tho argument is that tho old Union has fallen tu pieces, ergo, a liko fate awaits tbo uew ono.— Ou cotempornry must excuse us for saying that uch reasoning would scarcely impose upon a child. Tho Chronicle draws an illustration of the power of independent peoples, impelled by common interests, to fuco a common danger, from tho war of tho Revolution, which was be gun by tbo Colonies disunited, and concluded under tho imperfect government of th© Confed eration. It fails, however, to enlighten us upon tho question, how much moro effectively th© war would have been prosecuted, and how much sooner ended, if tho power of the Colonies hud boon di rected by ono common will and arm. Until the Chronicle ©ball hoo lit to accomplish this task, we must be permitted to question the force of the il lustration, and to continue our faith in tho old adage, “in unity there is strength.” Gur cotemporary intimates, as fur a© we can uvthor its meaning, that some such association as the Colonic© formedduriug tho Revolution, would ba .propor for tho seceding States, in tho ovent that they were “ sot upon” by tbe old Union, or other hostile power. This association, we pre sume, is to be dissolved upon the advent us peace, to bo renowod on the recurrence of war, and soon cndlurisly.

We have not ©pace for Hie publication us the ©pooches of all tho Southern Senators who retir ed from tho U. S. Sonate last week, aud have te content ourselves with copying tliut delivered by Hon. Jeff Duvis. It cuutains all the views deliv ered by the others: Mr. Davis. I rise, Mr. President, for th© pur pose of announcing to the Senate that I huvoMut- Mlaetory evidence that tho State of Mississippi, by a solemn ordinance of her peoplo in Conven tion assembled, has declare*! btrseparation from the United States. Under these circumstances, ol course my functions aro terminated hero, it hu© seemed to me proper, however, tliut i should appear iu the Senate to announce tbut fact to luy associates, and I will ©ay hut very littlo more.— The occasion doe© not invite me to go into argu ment ; and my physical condition would not per mit mo to do©o if if were otherwise; and yet it rtcem.3 to become me to say ©ouiething on tbe part of tbe Stato I here represent on uu occusiou so solemn a© this. ]i i© known to Keuators who have served with m here, that 1 have for many years advocated ,x uu essential attribute of State sovereignty, the right of a State to steeds l'roin the Union. There fore, if 1 had believed there was justifiable cause; if 1 bad thought that Mississippi wus acting with out ©uffioivnt provocation, or without an existing necessity, I should still, uudor tuy theory of the Government, because of my allegianos to tho Stafe of which J am a citizen, havo been bound by her action. I, however, may be peiiniU e< l l o ©ay that I do think she has justifiable ouuse, *°d 1 approve oi her act. I eon fer rod with herpeo. PEYTONH. COLQUITT, ) v ... JAMES W. WAREEH, ( Editor*. Number 5 plo before that act was tukon, counselled them then that if tbe state of things which they appre hended should exist when the Conventiou mot, thoy should take tho action which they have now adopted. 1 hope non© who hoar me will confound this expression of min© with tho advooacy of the right of a State to remain in tho Union, and to disre gard its constitutional obligations by the nulli fication of the law. Such is not iny theory.— Nullification and secession, ho often confounded, are indeed antagonistic principles. Nullification is a remedy which it is sought to upply within tho Union, and against the agent of the Btates.— It is only to he justified when the ugent has vio lated his constitutional obligations, and a Stato, assuming to judge for itself, denio© tho right of the agent act, and appeals to the other Btat-s of tho UnLui ter a decision ; but when tho Btates themselves; and when the people of tho Btates, have so actod as to conviuoe us that they will not regard our constitutional rights, then, and then for the first time, arises tho doctrine of se ecssion in its practical application. A gentleman, who now reposes with his fath ers, and who has often been arraigned for a want of fealty to the Union, advocated tho doctrine of nullification because it preserved the Union. It wa© because of his deep-seated attachment to the Union; bis determination to find some remedy for existing ills short of a severance of the ties which bound .South Carolina to tho other Stule©, that Mr. Calhoun advocated tho doctrine of nul lification, which he proclaimed to be peaceful; to bo within the limits of State power, not to dis turb tho Union, but only to be the mean© of bringing tho agent before tho tribunal of the States for their judgmout.’ fieoession beltings to a different class ©f retne dies, it is to bo justified upon the basis that the .States aro sovereign. There was a t*me when noi.o denied it. I hope the tituo may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory ot our Government, aud the inalienable rights es the people of tbe States, will preveut any one frutn denying that each State is a sovereign, aud thus utay reclaim the grant© which it has made to any ugent whomsoever. I therefore say I concur in the action of tbo peuplu of Mississippi, believing it tube necessary and proper, and should have been bound by their action if my belief hud been otherwise; and this brings me to the important point wbieh I wish on this occasion, to present to the Sonate. It is by this oonfounding of nullification aud ©eccssiou that tbe nurno ol a great man, whoso ashes now mingle with his mother earth, has been invoked to justify coercion against a seceded State. The phrase, “toexucute the laws,” wo© an expression which Gen. Jackson applied to the case of a State refusing to obey tho law© while yot a member of of thu Uuion. That is not the case which is now presented. Tho laws are to he executed over the United States, and upon the people of the United States. Thoy have no roJution to any foreign country. It is a perversion of terms, at least it i© a great misapprehension of the case, which cite© that expressiun fur application to a Mato which ha© withdrawn from the Union. You may make war on a foreign State. If it be the purpose o gentlemen, they may make war against a State which has withdrawn from tho Union; but there are no luwb of the United States to bo executed within the limits of a seceded State. A State finding herself’ in tbo condition in which Missi©- sippi ha© judged she i*, in which bur safety re quires that she should provide for tbo mainte nance of her right© out of the Union, surrender© all thu benefits, (and they arc known to be many,) deprives herself of the advantages, (they ate known to be great,) severs all tho ties of affection (and they are close and enduring,) which have bound her to the Union ; and thus divesting her self of every benefit, takiug upon herself every burden she claims to be exempt from any power to execute the laws of the United (States within her limits. I well remember un occasion when Massachu setts was arraigned before tbe bar of thu (Senate, and when the doctrine of coercion was rife and to be applied **t;nint her because of tho rescue of a fugitive ©luve in Boston. My opinion then wu© the same us it is now. Nut in a spirit of egotism, but to show that I am not influenced in my opin ion boomisu tbo case is my own, I refer to that time and that occasion as containing tho opinion which I then entertained und on which my pres ent conduct is bused. 1 then said if Massachu setts, following her through a stated line of con duct, chooses to take tho lust stop which separates her from the Union, it is her right ,t° g‘, and 1 will neither vote one dollar nor one man to co erce her back, but will say to her, God Hpeed, in memory of the kind associations which one© ex isted between her and tho other Btates. It has been a conviction of pressing ncces.sity, it has been a belief that we are to be deprived in the Uniun of the right© which our fathers be queathed to us, which has brought Mississippi into hor present decision. Shu hu© heard pro claimed tho theory that all men are created free uni equal, and this made the basis of un attack upon her social institutions; uud tho sacred de claration of independence has boon invoked to maintain the pusiliou of the equality of the races. That Declaration of Independence is to be con strued by the circumstances und purpose© for which it wa© wade. Tbe communities wero de claring their independence; tho peeple of thoso communities were asserting that uu man was born —to use the language of Mr. Jeflerson—booted und ©purred to ride over the rest of mankind; — that men were created equal—meaning the men of a political community; that there was no di vine right to rule; that no man inherited tho right to govern, that there were no classes by which power uud place descended to families;— but that ail statious wore equally within the grasp of each member of the body politic. These were tho great principle© thoy announced; these w-c the purposes for wbieh they mude their de ..utaiion; these u ere tho ends to which k thcir enunciation wus directed. They havo no refer ence to the ©lave; else, how buppeued it that among tbo items of arraignment made against George 111. one whs that he endeavored to do just what the North ha© boon endeavoring “of late to do, to stir t up insurrection uuiong our slaves? Had tho declaration announced that tho ne groes were free and equal, how wu© tbe Prince to he arraigned for stirring up iusuircclion among them? And bow wa© this to be enumer ated uuiong the high crimes which cauod the colonies to sever their connection with the mo ther country? When our constitution was form ed, tbe sumo idea wa© rendered moro palpable, for there we find provision made for that very class of persons us property; they were not put upon the footiug of equality witii white men— not oven upon that of paupers and convicts; — hut, so far a© representation was concerned, were discriminated ugainst as a lower caste, only to be represented iu tho numerical propurtiuu of Ibree-liftbs. Then, Bouators, wo recur to the compact which hinds us together; we recur to the princi ples upon which our Government wa© fouuded; and whon you deny them, und when you deuy to us tho right lo withdruw from a Government which, thus perverted, threatens to be destruc tive of our rights, we but tread in the path of our fathers when we proclaim our independence, und take the hazard. This is douenot in hos tility to others, not to injure any soctiou of the country, not even for our own pecuniary benefit; but from the high and solemn motive of de fending uad protecting tho rights we inherited and which it is our sacred duty to transmit un shorn to our chiidrun. I find myself, perhaps, a type of tho general fouling of my constituents towards yours, lam sure 1 foci no hostility to you, Senators from thu North. lam ©uro theroji© not ono of you, what ever ©harp discussion there may have been be tween ur, to whom 1 cannot now say, in tbe prosencoof try God, I wish y>u well; und such 1 am sure, Is thu fouling of thu people whom I represent towards the people whom you repre sent. I therefore feel that I but express their desire when I say 1 hope, and they hope for peaceful relation© with you,though we iiiuhi part. They tuny be mutually beneficial to u© in tbe future, a© they have been in the paut, if you so will it. The reverse may bring disaster on eve ory portion of the country; and if you will have it thus, we will invoke the God of our fathers, who delivered them from the power of the lion, to protect us from thu ruvHges of the bear, ami thu© putting our trust in God and in our own firm heart© and strong arms, we will vindioate tho right as best we may. In tbo ooursu of luy service here, associated at different times with a great variety of ©enatoru, 1 nee now around me some with whom I have served long? there have been points of collision, but whatever of offenco there has been to me, I leave here; I carry wi’h me no hostile renteui brunce. Whatever offence 1 have given which has not boon redressed, or for whioh satisfaction not been demanded, 1 havo, Senator©, in this hour of our parting, to offer you tny upology for any pain which, in tho heart of discussion, I havo iudicted. Igo hence unencumbered of tbo remembrance of any injury received, and having discharged tbe duty of making the only repara tion in my power for any injury offered. Mr.President and Senators, having made tbe announcement whioh the occasion soemod to me to require, it only remains for me to bid you a final adieu
