XI»o North and the South—A Case Stated.
[From the Savannah Republican, Jan. 2.]
Jt is true—provided he is correctly reported—
that Mr. Douglas, one of the most sagacious
men of the Country, predicts that all will be
quiet within the short space of “ten days but
is not the wish of the patriot the father to the
patriot’s thought ? To us it looks so. I: there
be peace, why are all its manifestations hid
from the public eye ? Why is It that the day ot
reconciliation is postponed ? Why is the boon
held back, while the Came of discord is spread-
in" - wider and wider, and ready, in ever}* South
ern State, to break out in the horrors of a civil
war ; until sovereign States, for the purpose of
self-preservation and in order to restrain the
unauthorized outbreaks of a wronged aud in
dignant people, have been compelled to take
possession of the Federal forts, and arm them
to the teeth ?
New York, Jan. 9th, 1S01.
One of the chief reasons why the country is
in such a state of discord, is because South Caro
lina with indecent haste, has gone on without
the slightest effort to conciliate, and in open
contempt for the other and sister States of the
Union, to put herself iu an attitude of rebellion
against the Government—a Oovo'nuient that never
did harm either to her or to any other State in the
Union, and has seized the property of the Gov
ernment, and hauled down the flag of the Union
and run up a strange flan. This "degradation of
the Government is going on in other southern
Stales, and menace is offered, and Georgia
Senators ask for no compromise, and say it is
too late; and one of them even wants some
Brutus to rise in Texas, to butcher a Governor
who swore to support the Constitution of the
United States, and opposes rebellion against
that Constitution. Northern people are asked
to compromise under such thrdhp.
I am an old Democrat, and in favor of com
promise and conciliation, but when I am met
by such demonstrations of disloyalty and un
fraternal conduct, I feel called upon to
say, that, in my opinion, nothing can be
done until the South returns to its allegi
ance to the Government and quits its trea
sonable acts against it. Will you not urge your
people to reason ? What sort of characters are
Messrs. Iverson and Toombs, to settle the imu-
ter with ?
Come, now, let us see a better and more con
ciliatory spirit at the south, and less bullying
and threatening, and you will not wait long to
see our people ready to meet you* and shake
luuids and settle.
Yours fraternally, ^ W. II. S.
P. S.—If the southern people are bound to
fight anyhow, then the issue is forced upon us.
We aro not yet armed, but can be soon. We
prefer peace.
Comment.—The writer of the foregoing is
wholly unknown to us, but as he is presumed
to speak the sentiments of the more conserva
tive men at the north, we give him a hearing,
chiefly that we may in a word set the South
right before the world, as she will stand on the
pagfcs of impartial history.
We shall not defend violent harangues when
made by Georgia Senators or anybody else, but
the writer seems to forget that in this conti o-
versy the South is the injured party’, and sonn-
thing must be yielded to the infirmities of men
who consider their section outraged and in
sulted. He forgets, too, that at the very open
ing ot the session, when the country was con
vulsed from centre to circumference, by the
election of a hostile government over the
South, and when all Union-loving men looked
to Congress for measures of reconciliation, the
-put forward two ranting Abolitionists,
Hale and Wade, who, instead of .moving in the
work of conciliation, threatened to persist in
the.r wrongful acts, and to whip the South into
subjection. This, too, from the North—the
party who now complains that the South is op
posed to a settlement, and prefers discord to
reign !
We ask cur correspondent to point to or e
solitarj* movement on the part of a northern
State, or a northern delegation in Congress,
since the commencement of the session, that
held out the promise of justice to the South—
that should induce her to stay her hand
aud accept it us an overtuie of peace. It
cannot be done. A few uorthern Governors
recommended many conciliatory measures
iu their annual messages, but there the whole
matter has been allowed to rest by the represen
tatives of tin; people. In Congress the Repub-
Iioans have proposed nothing, and when
the South, the injured party and out of place,
come forward with measures j?f reconciliation,
they have uniformcly and down to the present
moment opposed them. They will do nothing
themselves, nor allow any one else to do it.
They have been deaf alike to the buruiug invec
tive of Toombs and the persuasive eloquence of
Crittenden. Their press throughout the north,
with hardly an exception,has counseled them to
do nothing,and they have gone on iu this state ot
inddiffereuce, and recklessness until the Union
is day by day falling to pieces before their eyes.
Rather than sacrifice the dogmas of a political
party, they would destroy the government ot
their fathers and plunge us into the horror ot
civil war—for it must come to this, and even to
the knife, if any attempt be made to thwart the
purpose of the injured States of the south in
^ cutting loose from those with whom they arc
unable to live in peace.
here that the South «s<$£ds to-day, and,
do what she may, history will do her justice.—
Had the North giveu any assurauce of security
in the Union, we are as well assured as we arc
'of our existence, that disunion wonld have
stopped with the State of South Carolina. Bui
instead of overtures of peace, wc have received
taunts and threats of coercion. Nothing has
been proposed, either in Congress or the State
Legislatures, but the North stands to-day rigid
and c >ld as a marble statue, poised upon prile
and party, aud refusing to make one move to
save the Union from the inevitable overthrow
that awaits it. The rashness of a few Southern
.. meu is no excuse for a refusal of the North to
do what is inght.
The great body of the peopie at the south
disregarded the wild rancor and ravings of Hale
and Wade, looking anxiously beyond them to a
supposed conservative and patriotic^ peop'.e,
whose voice would yet be heard above the
storm, and at whose fiat the raging elements
would be still. These hopes have been cher
ished only to be disappointed; and the result is.
the voice of southern Union men has beeu 6l
lenccd, and their arras hang palsied by their
side. Tnis is history.
Say not then, that the South is passionate,
precipitate and rash. Fir9t do her justice, and
theu complain should she fall short of her dray-
She has loved the Union with a devotion which
the North might aspire to imitate, and should
it fall by her act, it will only be because it could
not be upheld without dishonor.

Charleston and New York Steamships.—
We learn that in consequenco of the obstruc
tions in Charleston harbor, the steamers for
merly plying between that port and New York
will hereafter come to Savanneh, and have their
cargoes transported to Charleston, over the
Charleston Savannah Railroad.

Colton lor tl»e North.
We take the following jmfummlion from
the Rome(Ga.) Courier, of the 12th instant :
Cotton by the Upper Route.—We arc in
formed that a svr t. m ot reduc edireigiits has
been adopted by all the roads between bore and
Norfolk and Alexandria so that cotton, in 500
pound bales, is now sent to New York by cither
of those routes for $5.30 per bale ; whereas by-
Charleston or Savannah the price is from $0,00
to $6,25 ; thus making a difference in favor of
the upper route, of from 70 to 95 cents per bale,
beside the prospect of greater safety in transit.
Here is a matter worthy of serious attentibn
from all who arc engaged in the carrying trade
to and from this city; and, Indeed, our busi
ness men in every dapartinent of industry.
They cannot too soon turn their thoughts to
the means necessary to check this important
diversion of trade from its accustomed chan
nels. The present political condition of the
country seriously embarrasses the question, and
until peace and confidence shall be restored and
matters settle down on some permanent basis
for the future, perhaps it would be difficult to
devise a remedy.
*TI»e Danger and the Remedy.
Under this heading, the Hon. P. Phillips—formerly
a member of Congress from Mobile and now a practi
tioner in the Supremo lourt at Washington—has pub
lished a circular intended principally for the members of
Congress. After stating, at some length, that existing
troubles originate in a sense of inseeurity at the south
fojnded on the large numerical majority at the north,
and the unfriendly purposes for which that ma}ority
i being used, lie concludes as follows onjhc subject of
a remedy:
In 1850 Mr. Calhoun, answering the question, “Can
Un*. Union be saved?” says: “ I lie North has only to
will It to accomplish it—to do justice by conceding to
the South an equal right in the acquired territory, and
to do its duty by causing the stipulations rela’ive to her
fugitive slaves" to be fauhlullj fulfilled—to cease the
Hg.tation of the slave question, and t" provide lor tin-
insertion of a provision in the Constitution which will
restore, in substance, the power she possessed in pro
tecting herself before the equilibrium between :h*> ‘ve-
ijons was des roved by the action of this Govern
ment.”
i tie peril In which the Union now stands is extreme.
What the South seeks is not pecuniary advantage, bu
safety. The Constuniion was formed to *• insure do
mestic tranquility.” It no longer exists. Is it asking
»rio much that they who suffer the evil may determine
the remedy?
I’o restore confidence, and give permanency to the
Union, let the South have placed in its own hands the
rinwer to potect its own safety, as proposed by Air
CalhouD.
This can be effected by changing the mode of elect
ing the Vico President, giving t»* the Representatives
of the slaveholding States in the House and Senate the
right to elect him whenever the President elected has
received a majority of his votes f.-. in the free States
and the same right to the Senators and Representa
tives from the tree States when the President elected
has received a majority of his votes from the slave
States, and requiring the approval of the Vice Presi
dent to all bills in the same manner amhmder the same
r- t-ictions as is now provided for the approval of th-
President.
1 in- details of this measure to meet all eontiugejioies
provided for in the twelfth article of the amendments
can ensily be adjusted.
If it be supposed that this additional cog on thewheo 1
of legislation will impede its velocity, we may find
compensation in the fact thal it will work more ste di-
Iv. If is from t- o much and not too little legislation
danger is to be apprehended.
’this, with the amendment offered by Mr. Seward,
placing beyond change the basis of representation now
ecured to the South, would, I believe, lead to a re
storation of that harmony without which the great in
terests of the country must wither and die.
Washington, Jan. 2 1861. P- Phillips .
McIntosh Counts—Wc learn that a troop
of Cavalry has been formed in this county, and
already numbers over fifty men, C Spalding,
Captain, O C. Hopkins, 1st Lieut., S. Kenan,
2d Lieut., W. Z. Collins. Cornet. At a meeting
on Saturday 12th fast-, th e Captain was ^u
thorized to tender the services of the troop to
the Governor, for military duty at any point,
and at the shortest notice.
Ou the same day nn Artillery company was
formed. N. P. Gignilliat, Captain, R. S. Mor
ris, 1st Lieut., <fcc., full ranks, and will be ready
for service forthwith.
The McIntosh Guards, over sixty men,* Capt.
Cogdeli, are well armed and disciplined, and are
“Minute Meu.”
The Militia made a strong turn out also on
Saturday, armed with muskets from the City
Armory, and drilled well uuder Capt. J. M.
Harris." McIntosh is doing her duty.
More Arms for Georgia.—The steamer
Star of the South, which arrived here Sunday
last, brought another consignment of arms and
munitions of war for the State, to the amount
of some $75,000. We hear that the arms con
sist cf rifles and revolvers, of New England
manufacture and tlie most approved patents.
The Georgia iTJLoveiueutK tor Direct
Trade.
The action of the State of Georgia with ref-
crcuce to direct trade with Europe, is beg.n*
ning to attract attention outside the State. The
Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
writes as follows, on the subject:
Washington, Jan. 9, 1SC1.—I learn from a
responsible secession source that the Georgia
nrssitn to Europe was to-day the subject of
j > 'versation and consultation among the lead-
ng men from *.he tobacco Stales, and some im
portant results we.e arrived at. The cotton
movement was accepted as a basis of co-opera
tion on the part ot the border slave States, to
strengthen the foreign policy of the South.—
Whether Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky will
declare lor tree trade and direct taxation, or se
cede, or remain neutral, is a question for the
future. But the prominent men from these
States seize with avidity tiff? favorable oppor
tunity of inducing foreign governments to relax
the policj long maintained iu regard to to
bacco. So far as England is concerned, her pre
sent duties upon tobacco, block the way in the
great tree trade alliat.ee with the entire South,
embodied in Mr. Baylor’s plan. Virginia es
pecially has always been the friend of those
principles of commercial freedom which have
aided so materially in supporting England in
her efforts to b i- eak down the obsolete ideas of
Europe. The radical free trade reform which
the South now brings forward, as the antagon
ism of Northern anti-slavery, if sustained by
Virginia, must produce an immense excitement
at Manchester and Liverpool; and it is believed
that, for so great a triumph as this, Mr. Cobden
and his friends will go for relieving the tobacco
interest from the present onerous duties levied
by Great Britain.
It is reported here, upon what appears to be
good authority, that a distinguished secession
Senator is preparing the outlines of a report or
address on this subject, to be submitted lor the
approval of the Southern States.
The despatch in to-day’s Herald ot this sub
ject created a tremendous excitement among
Southern men, at da certain sensation in diplo
matic circles. This movement of the direct
trade party of Georgia solves the revenue qres-
t ; on, so far as the South is concerned ; and,
-npported as it is by a solid majority in the
Georgia, Florida and Alabama Conventions, the
matter will be pressed on with firmness and de
liberation. It appears that this important mat
ter has been quietly organized at the South un
der cover of the political excitement, and is
•supported by a central association in Georgia,
in concert with a sub-committee in each county
in South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Alabama
ind Mississippi. Ihe 1 aiding editors in those
States are in tlie league, and a special organ of
the movement lias been established at Ma
con.
The position of England, under this pressure
ot conflicting views, is believed by the seces
sionists to be peculiar. They’ believe she must
have cotton, she mast pay for the cotton, she
must pay in money or goods. To do without
the cotton, the secessionists assert, would pro
duce a famine in Lancashire. To pay for her
supply in specie would probably drain the Bank
of England of every shilling in its vaults. To
pav for the cotton in manufactured goods, free
of duty, under a system of direct exchange
and reciprocal direct trade, presents a sofa
tion of the peril now hanging over London
and Manchester, which the British Minister
here must of necessity recognise.
This Georgia movement is admitted to be the
most practical measure produced by the South.
Some of the leading republicans confess that it
is a shot between the wind and water, and is
calculated to complicate their policy materially.
THEY SAY OF US ABROAD.—TllC AfgUS,
a p iper published in the city of Drogheda, Ire
land, coolly tells its readers that “the election
by the Northern States of America of a black
man hs President lias at length brought about a
state of feeling between the Southern and
Northern States which for a long time has been
feared and which threatens to end in the disrup
tion of the American Ufiion. Since the Con
federation was formed, no Presidential election
has excited so much party feeling as has the
election of Abraham Lincoln, a.blaek gentleman,
hitherto unknown out of the-State in which he
lived—or at least unknown as a public man in
Europe.”

custom, the Wash
ington Rifles, under command of ’Capt. Jones,
were out in “full dress,” in honor of the day - ,
presenting a bold, fine appearance.
Many ladies' as well as gentlemen, were “in
town,” apparently with no other object in view
than to sec this military corps parade. When
the command “fall into line” was given by their
esteemed Orderly, quite a full, I may say an un
usually large number, at once obeyed th^ com
mand. The company having beeu formed, was
very gracefully turned over to the Captain, who
from the love and respect of his men, had only'
to speak to be obeyed.
The noble and dignified commander proceed
ed to carry his meu through the various evolu
tions of the manual ol arms, the marchings in
common and double-quick time, the wheeling
and flanking movements, forming the square,
the cross, besides many other figures requiring
skill and a thorough understanding of the tac
tics, by the Lieutenants as well ns the Captain.
They aL-o went through street-firings, by
platoon and company, all of which was ftone in
a soldier--like manner. Having done drilling for
the fifty,.the corps yet remaining In line, and in
view of the exciting times and warlike prepara
tions in our country, and a strong probability
that their services would be required, and it
being necessary t<» ascertain who, and how.
many of the company would respond, if need
ed, the silvery-headed captain, after making a
proper statement, requested that each mem
ber who intended to stand firmly by, and de
fend Georgia and the South, at all hazards,
would “march five paces in front,” when with !
aa almost simultaneous move, every member
marched up, whereupon there was a general j
huzzaing. Tho company then marched into
th.c Court Room to transact business, during
the attention to which Lieut. Carter proposed
that the Chair appoint a Committee to retire
and report to this meeting, whether there be
any farther action for the company on this oc-
cision. The Committee retired and soon te-
ported through their Chairman, Surgeon Smith
that there was farther action, necessary lor the
company, and that it was advisable for the
whole company to march in double file into
the Grand Jury Room, from whence the Com
mittee had just returned, for that action; the ob
ject not yet being known to the members,when
suddenly the door was thrown open, and to the
agreeable surprise of all, appeared two large
fables, covered with cakes, fruits, nuts, cham
pagne and domestic wines, &c., and hanging in
this room was a new flag of eight stripes and
eight stars,representing the eight cotton States.
The action being well nigh ended, Capt. Jones
was called out, and responded in his usual
happy style. Mr. Y., the standard bearer, was
then called for, who, although a Union rnstn,
made an excellent secession speech, which was
long and loudly cheered. The officers and
many private members were called for, arfd,
although many of them are unaccustomed - to
“ making speeches,” they could not refrain on
this occasion. Everything here was agreeable,
and the day passed off most pleasantly.

Who is McIntyre?—A letter in the Phila
delphia Pres.'tgives the following account of Mr.
McIntyre, a gentleman of sudden importance,
resulting from Iffs nomination as Collector of
Charleston.
Mr. McIntyre, tlie appointed collector, is a
resident of this place. He is an Irishman by-
birth, aud came to this country at the age ot
about twelve years. He firat carried on shoe
making. Alway s ambitious, hence restive and
impatient, lie gave up the trade and engaged in
the confectionary business, which lie carried on
for 'several years. He then went into the whip
manufacturing business, at which lie is at pres
ent engaged. Mr. McIntyre was formerly a
Whig, being an ardeht supporter of Henry Clay.
When the American party sprang into existence
lie became a Democrat. He bad held several
offices. Iu 1857 he was elected chief burgess of
the town, and would have beeu re-elected had
he not had Mr. Abr. Furry for an opponent,
who is an extremely popular and influential
man. Mr. McIntyre is about fifty-three years
old, and is a mau of firm, determined will.—
Hence I think In* will make a stood officer,

From the Mercury ol yesterday :
Sub Rosa.—All day Saturday and yesterday
our people were kept upon the qui vive. The
quiet arrival and departure of the Brooklyn
war-steamer was abundantly discussed on Sat
urday morning, aud the fact that the secret
negotiations known to be pending between
Fort Suinterhud the State had resulted in the
udden departure ot Attorney-General Hayue
and Lieutenant Hall for Washington, on Satur
day evening, furnished the wonder-mongers
dditional food lor speculation. Nothing:
definite, however, has been made public as yet’
concerning these negotiations, although we
lave reason to think that before the middle ol
the present week, enough will have transpired
in relation to them to gratify the general
curiosity of our citizens.

duty to announce the demise, on y esterday, of

dens.
For the cnlightment of the Northern news
papers, we may say at onc e, that we have
no objection to merchant vessels, bearing tin-
flag of the United States, or of any other foreign
nation, entering our port, so long as they be
have themselve-j pvopi-rlv.
Edward Everett on tue Union.—At Mu

of our lathers, still free, prosperous “and

The persistence with which they follow him

The Charleston anu oavansaii Trade —
The South Carolina secession has not as yet
very materially affected the business of the
Charleston and Savannah lines of steamers
though its influence is felt to some extent. The
business of the Charleston lines on outward
trips, both iu passengers aud freight, is lio-fa
even for this season of the year. There^are
fewer passengers, particularly of merchants
“drummers” and persons of that class. The
return business from Charleston to this port
however, is more active than it was last year’
and the same is true of Savannah; while both
lines have more steamships on service than
during the last season. Large quantities of cot
ton and rice are coming forward, freights are
hotter than they were last winter, and the pas
senger lists larger, though there are no indica
tions of a stampede as yet ou account of seces
sion. The Charleston steamers dear, as a mat

Mr. Sanderson, of Duval, Chairman of the commit

The Select Committee on Ordinances respectfully
submit;
lliat they are now prepared to report to this Conven
tion an Ordinance of Secession. In view of the grave
import of the subject under their consideration, they
deem a recurrence to a few ot the leading principles
involved in the formation ol the confederacy, which
we are about to sever, not inappropriate. Your Com
mittee regard the Constitut on of the United States of
America as simply a compact iu -solemn form, entered
into by equals. At the formation of the Confederacy,
the several colonies, tlie then contracting parties, had
declared themselves free and independent States.—
These States thus declared and mutually acknowledge*
to be free and independent, for tlie purpose of forming
a Federal Government, delegated certain of their rights
Those rights, with wise forecast and prudence, they
The steamer Jqsu a Whitney with Troops
for the South.—The Bostou Traveller, of
Wednesday, thus notices the announcement we
had by telegraph iff the steamer Joseph Whit
ney having beeu chartered to carry troops from
Boston to the south :
It Is announced that the detachment of Uni
ted States troops now stationed at Fort Win-
throp, in this harbor, have received ordc~s to be
in readiness to go South. They number seven
ty men. An agent of the Ge teral Government
was in town yesterday, and chartered the
steamer Joseph Whitney, ol the Baltimore,
line, as a transport for the troops.
The Herald says :
“We understand proposals were previously
made to engage the propellers, forming the line
between Boston and Charleston, but owing to
the pecuniary interest held in these propellers
by Charleston capitalists, it was deemed not
advisable.”
It is stated that the Joseph Whitney will take
ou board seven hundred and fifty barrels of
provisions and three hundred and fifty tons of
coal. Her agents state that they are not at
liberty to reveal her destination.
It is said that the company at Fort Wfnthrop
are light artillery men.
The Boston Transcript says that the Whitney
cleared for Norfolk, though her destiuatiou is
understood to be the Coast ol Florida.

Slavery in Kansas.—A case came up before
Judge Pettit, yesterday, in the District Court
for the Territory, which involved the constitu
tionality-ai the auti slavery bill passed bj‘ the
Legislature last winter. A negro woman, named
Fanny, claimed by Horace Haley as a slave, left
his custody some time ago, and went to live at
the House of F. R. Foard. Haley petitioned
to recover possession of the “propert}’,” and
Foard d niurred, on the ground that Fanny was
rot a slave, as stated in the petitiou. The case
was argued by Lecoraptc, Matthias and Burns,
fo ■ the plaintiff; and J. C. Douglas, Esq., for
the defendant. Judge Pettit overruled the de
tnurrer, aud decided that the law prohibiting
slavery in Kansas was not constitutional.—

apecillcail* enumerated in the instrument so made to
constitute the bond of union between them; and with
equal wisdom • eclareil that all powers not gran.ed or
|prohibited, were reserved to their people, i he Fed
eral Government was therefore limited by the plain
sense and intention ot the instrument constituting the
compact.
Your Committee find no clause in the Constitution
prohibiting tlie States from reassuining these delegated
powers, ami are of the opinion that the right of seces
sion, or taking buek the powers so delegated to ^ the
Federal Government, was one of the rights reserved to
the States respectively. In support of this opinion
reference is made by your Committee to the acts of the
Mates of New York, Virginia aud Rhode Island, rati
fying the Federal Constitution. Each of these States
distinctly affirm the right to reassume the power- grant
ed *• whenever it should become necessary to the hap
piness of their people, or should be perverted to their
iDjifry or oppression.”
These Slates having thus entered into this compact,
.he reservations made bv them mus of necessity enure
equally to tlie benefit of the other contracting parties.
I he Constitution was formed by the sanction of the
states, given by each in its sovereign capacity. That
these rights reserved by the original States belong
equallyto the State of Florida. By the act of Congress
ot the United States ot America, passed on the 3d day
.f March, A. D. 1845. said Congress declared Florida to
be a State of the United States of America and “admit
ted into the Union on equal footing with the original
states in all respects whatsoever ” To these terms of
admission into the Confederacy and Union of the
United States. Florida, by actol the General Assembly,
passed on the 25th day of July, A. D. 1545, agreeably
to the 6tli clause of the 17th article of her Constitution,
gave her assent. Tans Florida delegated and agreed
hat, while she should remain a member of the Federal
Union, the Congress of tlie Uuited States of America
should have and exercise the powers enumerated in the
Federal Constitution, and that she would not exercise
the powers therein prohibited to the States. Tlie in
ducements Which leJ Florida to become a member of
die United States were those which actuate every peo
ple in the formation of a government, to secure to
themselves and their posterity the enjoyment of all the
rh * of life, liberty aud property, and the pursuit of
happiness,
. a. committee fully concur in tlie opinion, that
he consideration tor ^hich Florida give her assent to
become a member of the Federal Union has wholly
failed—that she is not permitted enjoyment of equal
rights in the Union, and is not thereiore “on equal
footing with the original States in all respect* whatso
ever”—Inasmuch as she has not by said union secured
•o her people and tbeirposterity the enioyment of all
the rights of life, liberty and property, and the pursuit
of happiness, which was promised her on her admis
sion into the Union. The contract is therefore wilmlly
and materially broken. A compact thus broken in part
is broken in whole. States beiog the parties to the
constitutional compact, in their sovereign capacity, in
ihe absence of any umpire provided to decide in the
last resort, it follows that the States must for them
selves determine the time at which, and the manner in
which they will interpose.
In consequence ol'these and other grievances the
General Assembly of the Slate, in accordance with the
provisions of the Constitution, has assembled this Con
vention to take into consideration “ the dangers Inci
dent to the position of this State in the Federal Union,
established by the Constitution of the United States
of America, and the measures which may be necessary,
and therefore >o take care that the Commonwealth of
Florida shall suffer no detriment.” To discharge this
1 duty in an *-ffectual manuer, your committee recom
mend that the State of Florida do by her Convention
now assemble!!, secede now, and re-aasume all the
rights by her delegated to the Fedora] Government
unown as the Uni ed State* of America, and declare
herself to be a Sovereign and Independent Nation, and
to tins end advise tlie adoption of the Ordinance of
Seces-ion herewith respectfully submitted.

ITOTUNffDICD 1S1G.
A FTER a rest of six mo the, on the 19th of Janua
ry, 1S61, I resume m - po ition as Principal oi
ihri Institution, with which I have been connected for
21 years.
’i*ie Academy offers some particu’ar advantage*
among which, we think are the following :
1. A well enclosed 1 ard of about six acres, within
the incorporated limits of Nashville, thus affording Pu
pils unrestrained freedom in healthful recreation, and
still subjecting them to the restraints of a refined and
intelligent society.
2. Buildings in extent and suitableness, for all school
purposes, unequalled in the United States by any Fe
male School; and these surrounded by pavements and
corridors, offering constant inducements to children,
to breathe the fresh air, without regard to the weather.
3. Security from Fire. These buildings are heated
with steam ana lighted by gas, and thus free the pa
rents of our pupils from at least one source of constant
anxiety about their children.
4. Health—unequalled l any Female School In
this or any other country. Though one of the largest.
a> d a part of the time the largest, Boarding School in
the United States, yet but three deaths have occurred
among its pupils in nearly’ 45 years.
5. Non-S<?ctarian. It is well known to all acquaint
ed with the Academy, that a Baptist, Episcopalian.
Methodist, or Presbyterian, sends his Daughter here,
perfectly satisfied^ that in no respect will offence be
given to his peculiar views, and yet equally satisfied
that the principles of our touunon religion will be daily
inculcated.
6. Maternal Care. This expression excites no ex
pectation which is not fully met in the Academy. A
suitable number of ladies, of piety and refinement, de
vote tneir entire time to the supervision of the expen
so~ the morals, habits and health of the Boarding Pu
pill*

seeking a permanent educational home for little girl9
we think, find such a home in the Academy. Apply to
