[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. “Qcmulgee.”—Wc intended to accompany Tiie “Eiglitli’* at Sandersville. !

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. Forts at the Toktuoas ,\m> Ket West. These two forts command, the Gulf. Fort Tuylor has sixty heavy guns mounted, and is in a good condition of defense; 100 men can hold it against 5000 tor a time. FOrt Jefferson, at the Tortugns, has no guns mounted. 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.” Francisco IIThe leading synagogues iu San . kave voted to appropria e from their respective treasuries the Man of $250, to enable Mr. I. J- Benjamin to prosecute ills search for the lost tribes of Israel, who, according to Ills belief, may be living in some of the unexplored pro vinces of Africa. 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. Yours truly, Witness. 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, Luarioiluii Items. 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. Death of an old Pilot.—It is our painful duty to announce the demise, on y esterday, of an old, respected and useful citizen, Captain Richard ClarK, who was for the greater part ol Halt a century a pilot for the harbor ot Charles ton, and for several years one of her Port War 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 sic Hall, Boston, Wednesday, Mr. Everett said, in closing a public address : “I hope and trust that the close of the year may find us still in unimpaired possession of this glorious herit age, the Union and tlie Constitution, the legacy of our lathers, still free, prosperous “and united.” Post-Office Finance-.— ine following has^ been obtained from an official source.

Garibaldi, at his home at Caprera, is persecu ted (according to latest accounts) by hosts ol portrait painters, who assail him night and day. The persistence with which they follow him Irem rock to flood, from flood to fell, is most disheartening, aud even sometimes discourages poor Garibaldi himself. The last arrival is that of Louis Gailait, the Belgian painter, who solemnly swears that nothing shall induce him to leave the island without a full length picture in full Garibaldian costume, accoutrement*’ and all. Poor Garibaldi listen's and shudders’ and for the first time thinks of beatin <r a retreat before the enemy. 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 ter of form, from the Palmetto Custom House £.v r. n»t. tion was agreed to.

Mr. Sanderson, of Duval, Chairman of the commit tee on Ordinances, made the following report: 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. Mnj. F. W.

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.— Leavenworth Times, Jan. 1. The Other Way.—Hinton Rowan Helper, the author of the “Impending Crisis,” was an nounced to deliver a lecture upon the “Two Systems of Labor,” at Clinton Hull, New York, on Wednesday. Forty persons attended, exclu sive of police. The lecture was adjourned, and most of those present organized a meeting and passed Union resolutions. An Incident of tiie Times.—The Boston Journal says duririg the services at tlie Old South Church, in Boston, on Thanksgiving day, the sermon—a strongly anti-slavery one—was repeatedly applauded, and that at its close one gentleman, whose head is wnitened by seventy j winters, sitting near the pulpit, rose and > life?

NEWBY. 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.

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* o uardians aud parents, who for any cause, maybe seeking a permanent educational home for little girl9 we think, find such a home in the Academy.
