cxatnplod for magnanimity ami forbearance.—
Aniuiutnl by the hop© of obtaining an amicable
adjustuuut'nf (ho diflk'ultic© naturally arising
•ut us their withdrawal from the Union, the for
mer have patiently submitted (o tho military
occupation of ttmL territory by a foreign power,
without tho slightest assurance from tho latter
that its position would ever bu rclintpiitilicd. it
is true that the act of Secession found tlio Federal
Government in p r-cssion, but it i likewise true,
that no imp* dinn nt has been offered to tho sur
render ol that possession. ,*vt for from it a sur
render has been demanded, and a more restive
and sensitive people would have answered the
prompt refusal with tho voice us tho cannon. But
this page us the passiug drauia is nearly writtcu
nf. A people who havo asserted, and ura dotcr
'iiint and t maintain their freedom, cannot afford
t > wear out tho lives of more than tiro or three
generations in petitioning for its recognition,
iho otvord is an old and honored iubtriuucnt iu

been paid to tlio sensibilities of a timid, vacilla
ting and treacherous President. If wo temporize
and dully much longer wo shall lose our own
©elf-respect, mnl will repel from our ouuse tho
sympathies f®v. ry gallant poople. If Buchan
an will not surrender the forts, it is hardly to
ho imagined thnt Lincoln will, and tho suspense
conso*iucnt upon tho postponement of tho ques
lion lur a month, is but little better limn any pos
sible result m ifo ile ter m mat ion now. Besides,
thorn is one con iderution which, to our mind,
renders it desirable that tbo issue be iu©t at uneo,
11 war is to como (and ywo„ havo rover much
doubled thul it would) uml our forts are tu bo

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. Quito pleasant, aud not in the least
liable to ooiifuHion and annoyanco. Tbo Ohroni
cle conchi .'e* with tbe following remarkable lan
guage :
“ Unless wc can have lo©.* intolerance And vin
dictiveness *>f party spirit, f more patriotism and
conciliation, It as demagogueism, more capacity
and honesty in tho public councils, les© pandering
to the caprices of tlio hour, and mots were# to do
right than wo havo witnessed for tho last twenty
.veal , w seriously four that, under whatever ar
rangement, self-government is rapidly drifting to
• lesiruction —republican liberty swiftly hastening
to its ©elf-tnmlo grave.’’
As tbe front rank i© the post of honor, will not
our ootemporary go to first? Tho above para
graph is a better argument agai> st self-govern
ment than everything which preceded it wa©
ugainst the formation of a,Southern Union. When
will tbo t h tonic la advocate tho inauguration by
Georgia of an independent military despotism?

F\RWIU SPEECH OF IIOY JIFF. DAVIS.
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.

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
