WRDNESDA.Y MOllN'INU, JAN. 23, 1S61.
(Tiie Georgia Convention.
T&ourIi but tittle was done in the Convention
0:1 Monday, besides signing the Ordinance—a
matter of form, so far as the consideration oi
mere Authenticity is concerned, but vastly sig-
niii ant in another respect—the letter of our
correspondent contains much that will be read
with interest. It appears that but live of the
three hundred members of the Convention de
cline to affix their signatures on the day
u unej, and our correspondent regards it as
certain that the nj^me of every member will be
attm.luid to it in the course of u few days. We
earnestly hope such \vftl be the result, and have
no misgivings when we urge it as a patriotic
duty-on every .Co-operationist in the Conven
tion,
Considering tbo differences of opin*on among
the delegates—that uearly one-hall were oppost d
to immediate and decided action at tiie pres< nt
time—the conduct ofietli'-lminprity stands forth
-a magnificent moral spectacle, that must com
mand the admiratiou of every friend of popular
government throughout the world. It is an
offering upon the altar of Popular Supremacy
that should bring lasting honor upon the names
of those who set aside their own convictions
and -ignored themselves in obedience to the wil
< f th people, and that practically but one mind
ad i; heart-liould reign-throughout our bur- of thia_Convcntion on the passage of the Urdi- . lK , CK 1 ' ' :i r
iei>: flu what contrast does this noble self nance of Secession, indicates a difference ol e ;i <r -,| lt . n i fVi,
acfiuce stand With tiie course of a few—a very opinion amongst the members oi the C -nvcn- uVi.H- worth a Vti't u- in
saerthee
few, we hope—who proclaimed their linn re
solve never to submit to the popular will unless
' it should agree with their owu—that majorities
had no binding power upon freemen, and that
minorities have the right to subvert the popular
- judgment when they have the nerve and the
power to do it!
The noble and gallant Ilill, whose eloquence
moved tiie Convention to tears, wua the first to
offer this tribute to the popular voice oi his
State. The very moment he found it asserted
beyond controversy, in opposition to liis own
views and opinions, he declared that no obsta
cle should be thrown by him in the path the
State had marked out for herself, and that ii
.■ able to prevent it, division and discord should
be banished from the borders of Georgia. lie
voted for the Ordinarce against which his
clarion voice - had been raised with a power
hardly his own, and called upon his friends to
join him in this act of devotion to the people’s
will, and then stand by our noble State in the
position she had taken. Many followed ni> pa
triotic lead, and that act has done more to unite
the people of Georgia, of all parties, than all
other causes combined. All honor to the man
who had the courage and patriotism to per
form it !
The resolution of Mr. Varnadoc, lo confer
upon officers who resign their places in the U.
&. army and navy, tlio same rank and pay ,in
the service of the State, is eminently proper,
and notwithstanding their offices may be sine
cures for a time, we hope the Convention will
give a favorable consideration to the measure.
LrvcoLN’s Gcaud.—We observe that a con
siderable military force has bien organized at
the north to secure a peaceful inauguration of
Mr. Lincoln, and that the Illinois Zouaves have
volunteered to escort the distinguished func
tionary elect to the City of Washington.
For ourselves, we apprehend tlmt all this pa
rade will be useless trouble and expense. Lin
coln is likely to be inaugurated only as the Pres
ident of the country which elected him, and on
the principle that the people should elect their
own rulers, we can Bee no particular reason, if
the Northern Republic hare taken a fancy to
J-ancoIn, why they should not be allowed Tb
> inaugurate him and live under his government
Until the crack of doom, should he survive till
that eventful day. Non-interference with other
people’s affairs has always been the true re
publican motto, and as we of th»*. Southern Re
public are not likely to have any share or lot in
Lincoln’s government, it is a matter of no prac
tical coucern to us whether he is inaugurated
or not. All that we ask of him is that he will
+ act justly and honestly in conducting the for
eign relations of his government. Should
Maryland conclude to join her southern sisters
in repudiating him, which is more thau possi
ble, we shall have to ask of him the additional
favor that he erect his throne in his own coun
try and not in ours.
\gr. The weather in this particular locality,
for a week past, has attained to a climax of the
horrible. Rain, cold winds, and sloppy streets
have been tiie regular order for a succession of
days.
A Good Appointment.—Col. Edwafd C.
Anderson, of this city, we arc credibly inform
cd, has been appointed Ordnance Officer in
Chief of the State. His systematic mind,
superior military information and fine execu
tive qualifications render the appoinmeut one
eminently fit to he made.
Lola Montez.—This remarkable worn: n,
whose life was so full of singular romance and
adventure/died, near New York, ou thelTth
instant, after a long Illness of paralysis. Some
remarks upon her eventful history, taken from
the N. Y Post, are omitted for want of room.
Resignation.—We are informed by Captain
W. D. Smith, of the Second Regiment U. S.
Dragoons, that he has forwarded his resignation
t > the President of the United States. Captain
Smith is a Georgian—a native of Augusta, we
•v*s—and .took this step-lU\»mpr!y upon the f :
secession of hi* State from the Union.
The Pensacola Post office.—This office
was discontinued by the Government of the
United Slates, it is said, because the mailed
orders from Wpdiingtbn were stopped there.
It is presumed they related to military move
men is in the Gulf.
M sj. Anderson and the Charlestonians.—
It was announced, some days ago, by telegraph,
that the Governor of South Carolina had issued
orders allowing Major Anderson to send t«>
Charleston for the purchase, of supplies for him
sell and men at Fort Sumter. The Charleston
ians, it seems, were incensed by this liberal act
on the part of the Governor, and protested
against the privilege. The Morning Xem of
yesterday has the following despatch in relation
to rue result:
Charleston, Jan. 21.—In consequence of the
clamor raised by the citizens of Charleston with
Governor Pickens, for supplying Fort Sumter
w.lo provisions. Major Auderson to-day sent
biek the marketing he had received, saying that
itis muu should uot be pensioners ou the
Charlestonians.

Scnutum Taking Leave.
The Charleston Courier's Washington corres
pondence gives a fuller account ot au event re
ported in our telegraphic column yesterday :
Messrs. Yuleeand Mallory, of Florida, Clay
aid Fitzpatrick, ot Alabama, and Davis, i f
Mississippi, addressed the Senate to-day, ex
plaining the action of their States and taking
final leave of that body.
The speeches were very brief, except that of
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, who spoke at Ooi
siderable length in an impressive and feclin,
Strain of elopience.
An immen-e crowd assembled to witness the
ceremony, and wheu the Senators, at the con
clusion of their remarks, left their desks, and
formally withdrew from the Senate Chamber,
where they had sat for years, every one seemed
to realize that a great calamity had befallen the
country. Each face was solemn and sad, and
many were, aff -cted to tears.

claims,or the wrongs of which she com plains,-a-

to other means of redress; and, whereas, it L-
desirable to give expression to that intention
which really exists among all the members ol
tills convention to sustain the State in the
course of a lion which she 1ms pronounced
to be proper for the occasion. Therefore,
Resolved, That all members of this Conven
tion, including those who voted again.-1 tin
said ordinance, as well us those who voted for
t, be requested to sign the same a* a pledge o
me unanimous determination of this Conveu
Lion to sustain ana defend the State in this her
hosen remedy, with all its responsibilities ana
consequences, without regard to individual ap
proval or disapproval of its adoption.
Mr. Jackson, of Whitfield,moved to strike out
the words “be requested.” Some one sug-
;csted, and insert “be invited.” The words “be
suggested,” went stricken out, and “will sign,”
were inserted. Upon a suspension of the rules,
ihc resolution, as amended, was taken up and
adopted with but two dissenting voices.
This resolution was advocated in a lew re
marks by Judge N is bet, Judge Bonning, Mr.
Poe, Mr. Kenan, Gov. Johnson, Judge Linton
Stephens, Mr. Stapleton and Judge Warner.—
Gov. John-on said, “lor o a*, he was willing
to sign it without this invitation, but r.ow hi
would sign it with double cm erlultiess.”
several of tiie eo-operation leaders took oc
casion to give their reasons for signing the
Ordinance. These gentlemen spoke while
Judge Nisbet’s resolutions were up for eon-
ideration. Judge Liuton Stephens said : The
passage of these resolutions would measurably
relieve him ;rom his objections to signing the
Ordinance. He preferred.a different course‘to
that proposed by the Ordinance, but if these
resolutions were agreed to. he t-liould r-ign it.
For the sake of « /annuity, harmony, and con
ciliation, lie would do so—lor “sink or swin ,
live or die. survive or perish,” he was with lira
native Georgia.
Judge Warner, of Merriwethcr, said he "had
done Wliat he could to give a different direction
to the action of this Convention. He had not
changed his views; Georgia had taken hei’ posi
tion, and he would be the last son of hers to
abandon it.
Other gentlemen gave their views, reasons,

Shropshire, of Floyd, moved to appoii t
a Commit tee"')H5 tb‘p rc pa re an address to the
Government of the U. S. A. (Withdrawn for
the present.)
Mr. S. also moved to appoint a Committee
to draft an Ordinance, to reduce the number
of mcu.bers in the General Assembly of Georgia.
(Lies over under tiie rule.-.)
Mr. Cobb, of Clark, moved that the Com
mittee on foreign affairs, (till n appointed) be
requested to nominate two Commissioners to
represent the State in the Conventions of Texas
and Louisiana. (Taken up and adopted.)
Mr. Martin, .of Lumpkin, moved to submit
the action of this Convention to the people
for ratification on the 20th February next.—
(Taken up and not ign-ed to.)
Gov. Brown, together with the President of
the Senate, Speaker of the House of Represen
tatives, and the judges of the Superior Courts,
who were in attendance came in, the Conven
tion rising to receive them, and the signing of
the Ordinance of Secession, commenced.
The signing was “clone generally with .native
Southern quills, which wo noticed many incm-
bei? carefully pocketing—they wish, no douhr,
to preserve them as a legacy for their chil
dren.
This occupied just four hours; ail but five of
the delegates signed it. I heard one of them
say, he woul 1 .-gn it io-murrmv, others will
also do so, in a day or two—the unanimous
signing ot the ordinance i&a err ■< •••.-.
There is an authorative official rumor here,
that a well known gentleman, of I.umkin coun
ty’, intends to hold the mint at Dahlouega for
the General Government. The Governor has
been requested to send troops to prevent this
gentleman carrying this determination into ex
ecution. The Governor declines to send troops
or to ca 1 out the militia. The Convention will,
no doubt, in a day or so, pass an ordinance,
defining treason, and then our ultra Union men
“had betj^r stand from under.”
it is also reported here,' on undoubted author
ity,that the reception of the news of the passage
of the Ordinance of Secession was greeted in
Pickens county by throwing to the breeze the
“Star-spangled Banner.” AH such demonstra
tions now are im rudcnl, to say the least ol
them, and but illy calculated to promote har
mony in the State and the south. The act is
do . — he v n.iet rendered—the papers made
out, - : .ii a sealed and delivered—and however
much we may have heretofore differed, all good
citizens wijl acquiesce in the necessity for har
mony and unanimity among ourselves. As
Georgians, we are. ail bound to respect her
solemn voice, expressed this day; and come
peace or war—weal or woe—independence or
subjugatiou—which latter may God lorbid!—
let us as brothers share the fate of our glorious
old Mother—let us weep when she weeps, and
rejoice when she triumphs.
At 4 o’clock the firing of cannon announced
the conclusion of the signing.
I sec placards about the city, giving notice
of a torch light procession to night, a general
illumination and other demonstrations of rc-
juicing. Yotirs, G.
Position or Kentucky.—During the late
debate in the Senate, on the nomination of Mr.
Ilolt to the po-t of Secretary of War, Mr. Crit
tenden is said to haw. taken the ground that a-
Kenlucky is a cent nil State, enjoying all the
prosperity consequent upon the present Union
and form of government, she would never con-
sent to its breaking up and the formation of a
Southern Confederacy, of which she would b«*
a border State, exposed to all the dangers and
losses of such a position. •

1 pars by the question of Banking accommodation in
Liverpool, whicheverybody know.* is miserable enough,
r laid can only remark that in the absence^?*! ihq politi
cal and financial e/isD, prices have tCca regulated
*to!e y by Ibe'avs of supply an demand.
The first months of the season were in every way
favorable to importers, estimates ranged from 4 to 4%
minima of bales, and a rapid decline in stock, and an
advance iu prices here induced importers and spinners
to tend out unlimited order? to the Uni ed States. Up
t> the middle of January the result of.these im-
porls wa- quite rails factory. Estimates were raised by
February to 4 ", and some went even h gher; the im
port into Liverpool began, at the same time, to assume
gigantic proportions, and a decline set iu of a most de
termined character, which did not find bottom until
the month of July, and, perffaps, it is a wonder that it
found bottom then.
Ab »ut »bo business of these five months, the least
said the better, iQr verily,the cotton was abomimilly
managed. •
"1 he stock of cotton ranched Us maximum on the 8th
d.*-8-,0WMd.-s, aa amount kr
capacities of this port,
ink lo remark that f.»r very
indifferent storage room, as much as '2\<, per bale per
week was paid.
The l »w prices currer.’ i-> the beginning of July a:-
triteted the atu n ion ol speculators on both sides of the
Atlantic. The quotations of June and July give i.o
adequate idea o( the depression in low cotton; -‘not
ba«|.” Cotton was purchased early in July at 2^d per
lb, wirch, in a few weeks, cleared a hundred per cent,
profit. Spinners took advantage of the decline, ami
adapted tneir machinery to the use of the inferior s *rts;
a keen competion ensued almost to the e(elusion o*
the better qualities, and we see the end and foily of ii
to-day—that they are higher in proportion, and this is
like y to lc id, in large crop.years to careless picking.
The activity since July lias b en almo-t uuiu'.otrup
ee!, and when interfered with, it has only been by ap
prehended dangers in the money market.
Middling Orleans, in Januarv ,was 6J^L, it dtclitud
to a quotation of f>J£d., weak, and closes at the
end of the year atTL'd., strong.
Taking everything into consideration,perhaps theper-
cen agrtof 1-w cot ion in this crap has not exceeded
that ol former yt nr a.
Importers have suffered severely, and the rapid ad ,
vance lias ul-u.esaved us fiom the tearful crash.
I ti ink it can be fairly staud that all have loss
•non y, though s > i.e have ma lc«mp!e amends since
the n.oalhof July,by improving their average.
The year’s consumption •fen*ton is estimated at
'J7,o*'0 bub soi all .s>rt*. including 163,000 consumed n
the United States and not sent to the ports. This
quantity is divided into S2,560 American, 9,140 aural
and o,f»70 of other s -rts. Total 5,073,640. The d<-
eli*cries :tr»- 5,31*,000 bales.
The average in American was 10)^c., 6}£<L in Liver
pool, and it *s found that die average price of Middling
Orleans for 6 years lias been 7d. per lb.
The total stock, as made up on the 31st Deronibt p
proved 545,630 bales, against 441,710 la-t year.
American was found to be overestimated by 12,00''
bales, whilst cu.ats were unde'estimated by about
3.).- 00 bales.
It is c-: invited that consumers hold about 200,OOP
bales. I should say this is over the mark. ’ 'i he prosper
ity of the manufacturing interest has extended to ibe
oo iimei.t, i'd during the year the development is be
lieved to have been extraordinary. Liverpool has
h i * a i self be the cheapest market in the long ran
and the demands of foreign manufacturers have con!
staidly t * on active; the total ex|s»ris of the year
amount to 009,00.) bales,against 437,000 iu lS59,*mdS4?,-
00 in IS'-8.
Luring the j ear, tlio principal feature in ihe export
demand has beeu, that instead of confining itself to
clean American regard «.ss of staple, it ha* taken an
immense amount of rubbish, and thereby relieved Hus
market Irani what might have proved an unbearable
weight—this applies as well to Surat as to American,
.until within the las*, few weeks have offer- d
no encouragement to importers, and ihi- will also hold
regaai^tlic growers. Seeds have paid them
much better, and it is believed that unless prices here
reach a high level immediately, much land will be di
verted from the cultivation of cotton.
In regard to the course of the Sea Island market, I
think I cannot, do better than quote the remarks if
Messrs. Stead Brothers, at length:
•*3EA ISLANDS—For the first six months of the year there
was a good demand for Sea Islands, and prices were main
tained with remarkable steadiness. During the depress
ion which prevailed in the general market in July an at
■ nipt was made to renew the custom of selling this class
. 1 miplete a failure
" >r some time
:iin dbcourr
»........ ... as certainly
such as to discourage a repetition of these s ile-: and it is to
ne poped will lead to the entire abandonment of a practice
unsatisfactory alike both to the buyer and seller. The ef
fect was precisely what might have been anticipated—an
immediate break down in prices and for tbe next two
months the sales made were generally at a decline of about
2d p ». In September a gradual improvement commenced
—the common and medium qualities being the first to rally:
these descriptions have since been most in demand, and
are now dearer than at any time during the year; the better
kinds have also fully regained previous concession. -The
crop of 8ea Islands this year has been 46.a0i> bags, against
47.600 last, year; of this quantif' 1500 hags have been receiv
ed from Fiorida. against 20.00" last year- The import into
Liverpool we estimate .are ;:A4t<0 bags, against 33.500 last
vf.tr, and into 14hisaow 2400 bags, against 1400 bist year.
The export from Liverpool to the Continent we estimate at
150 > big*, against 2tDU list year. The stock in Liverpool
to-day is 655*'i b igs. •■xa<-t!y the same as at the close of 1859.
The consumption «>t t.re.n Britain we estimate at 34.150
bags, mainsi .'.5.150 in l*oS. or 656 bags per week against676
last year. The consumption of France and the Continent
is estimated at 12.000 bags, against 14.(MI last year. The
supply for the coming year promises to be abundant, the
new crop, it is expected, will be 50,014) bags, the excess be
ing in Florida: it is probable the consumption of (treat
Britain will be larger next year, whilst on the Continent it
may be less: the French Tariff, which comes into operation
on the 1st June, admits Fine Yarn into France at an aver
age duty of 10 per cent, and will lead to a considerable ex-
poitof such yarn from this Country. The moderate range
of prices which an ample supply s-cures will also be favor
able to an extended consumption.”
The prospects ol the year which has new opened,are
of a very doubtlul character. The supply promises to
fall infinitely short of the demand, and a repetition of
1S*>7 is a most inevitable, unless a high rate of interest
checks the power to speculate.
The demand for the raw material must increase with
the large field opened in China, unlo:s short time is re
sorted to in the event of high prices. s
India was ov« r supplied in l&oS and 1359, and the
shipments of I860 have proved immense failures. Since
November these have been curtailed, and a happier
state of things may be looked for shortly. The real
lock has been caused by the dearness of food in India.
Caution is observable among shippers to India, and
th are turning their attention more particularly to
-China. It is to China we have to lock for the prob
ability or improbability of a resort to short time. But
the immediate prospects of the market are, p rhaps, «>f
m«»re importance. You may know more about them
than wo do here.
The advices from your side show every prospect o:
planters holding back their crops until satisfactory
prices an* established, and here we think we are on the
eve of a alight money panic. The rate on Mouday
j morning wa-* raised to over six per cent., owing to the
withdrawals for America, and a rumor that the Bank
of France were in treaty for a further quantity of coin,
and refused to raise their rate.
Our market to-day has been quiet owing to this, and
in the* face ot the strongest advices yet to hand from
yocr side.
The advices from London show rather a better feel
ing. but we are very sensitive, and in the cotton market
we have a few anxious sellers.
The fallowing are a few of the changes of the year:
Consols have declined from 9&5o to 92#*
French Rente* have declined from 69.20 to C3 35.
The bank rate has l>eeu raised lrom 8 to C per cent.
The ’• ullion in the bank has decreased from £16,469,-
824 to £12 793,119.

Letter from Ex-President Tyler.
The Richmond Enquirer, published a letter
from Ex-President Tyler, containing a legal
argument against coercion. In concluding, he
says :
it would, indeed, be a retrognde movement if
any State should be constrained oy force to re
main iu a Union which it abhorred. In this
matter, oue might take a lesson from what is
passing in the Old \Vorld. Italy alter the en
thrallment of ages, is admitted to the ballot-
oox, and hei Slates claim and exercise tiie
privilege of selecting the condition ol their
own future. And, while this is passing, and
that, too, with the approbation of all Europe,
we are to take a step backward into the dark
ages, and carry into practice the exploded doc
trine of absolutism in government. If we
cannot live together, let us part iu peace. By
doing so we shall at least save something of the
old feeling. It is true, the South will be un
der the necessity of adopting a rigid system
or passports and police, which may prevent
the perfect freedom of intercourse which,
except iu notorious cases, now exists. But
that is no more than other countries have to
do, and is entirely protective in its character
without being hostile. If necessary,*h treaty,
offensive urnl defensive, may be formed, com
mercial lavors and advantages may be received,
•and much that now exists” may be preserved.
Pursue a different course, and all may be lost.
Strange indeed, that odious discriminations
should be drawn between equals in a common
concern. Such was my opinion iu 1820, iu
the discussion on the Missouri question, and
such will it ever remain. The talented editors
of the “National Intelligencer” gave me an
enviable position iu certain able articles, writ
ten by them in the summer or fall of 1850. They
-peak of me as being the only member of Con-
_r«e®, at that day,'who, iu debate,* denied to
‘ 'ongress the right to prohibit slavery in the
T rrilories. I stood there then, and I stand there
now, nor as iu my early life alone in debute-but
now in my age, sustained as I believe, by thecon-
current opinions of a majority of the people of
the United States, and leaning ou the decision of
the Supreme Court as on a stall' which no rage
of faction can weaken, no convulsion, however
serious, can break. Could the able editors have
Uecyphered the thoughts of my inmost heart,
they would have found-me opposed to Congres
sional interference in this behalf with the Ter
ritories, for other reasons. Even passing over
the impolicy of such interference, it was in its
best view useless. God’s own law of climate
had regulated the matter; -and let the children
of earthly wisdom act as they may, it will still
continue to do it." The man who would talk of
cultivating the rice and cotton fields, and sugar
,'Ltutatloris of the South with free labor, do-
nies to himself the light of observation and ex
perience. Look to the West India HI unis—no
part of the Globe makes a louder outcry for
labor or offers higher wages than they do, and
yet the tide of emigration from Europe sweeps
by them in a vast current, which is arrested in
i.- course only by a mure Northern and healthy
clime. Asia and Africa have to be restored to
f >r laborers, while the Caitca-iau oT Europe
flees, as from a pestilence, the rays of a burning
>u:i, and becomes the cultivator of the cereals,
or turns herdsman amid the snows of the
North. There is but one element that can
change, and that but to a limited degree, this j
law ol climate, and that is the price oi labor. 1 i
need not, therefore, draw the picture of what j
would be the condition ol the slave States,
looking to the regular increase of tlie black j
population iu forty >t-nr.-, under the edict lor- ;
uaily announced by the leaders of the North-J
era dominant party of “no more slave States j
It cannot be contemplated by any Southern man
Titli ab-o.ute composure.
1 will not despair of the good sense of my j
•’ountryiucu. The lrape will linger with me i
to the last, that there is enough of wisdom and
pa;riotism among us to adjust these dilHcul-
ries, although I frankly coiiiess my doubts and
tears. Tue minority Suites can do but little
more than suggest—the majority States hold in
their hands the fate of the Union. I‘would,by
no means,'"have Virginia to linger by the way-
side. On the contrary, I would have hcM-rampt
aud decisive iu her action—she c&nntA oe too
prompt or decisive. Before her Convention
can meet, full developments of one sort or the
other will have been made, bite should place
nerself in position—her destiny for good or tor
.11, is with thi} Soutii. bhe was the flag-ship of
the Revolution; and borrowing an expression
.rum a recent production of one of her most
gifted sons, she should have “spiiugs upon her
cables and her broadside to.”
If I may be permitted to make a suggestion,
.t would be that the Legislature, without de
lay, and without interference with its call of u
Convention, might .naugurate a meeting of the
•order Stales of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia,
Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri, slave States;
aud New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois and Iowa,free States, through two Com
missioners from each, to arrange, if possible, a
programme of adjustment, to be submitted to
; he other.Slates as conclusive of the whole
matter.
Should they agree, I tliiuk their recommen
dation would be followed by the other States,
and incorporated into the Constitution and
placed on the footing of an unalterable com
pact. Surely no States can be more deeply
interested iu the work ol restoring the country
to quiet and harmony. If they cat not agree,
then it may' safely be concluded that the resto
ration of peace and concord has become imp- s-
sible. I would hare an early day appointed 'or
the meeting of the Commissioners; so that
Virginia, when she holds her Convention, may
be in full possession ol the result.
Even if a failure to agree should occur, I
would still have tiie Southern States, as a
dernier resort, upon assembling in Convention,
and having incorporated iu the present Consti
tution guarantees going not one iota beyond
what strict justice and the security of the South
requires, nuopttlie Constitution of the United
States as it now is, and give a broad invitation
to the other States to cuter our Union with th**
old flag filing over ouo and ail. When this is
done, I w'ould say, in conclusion, to all my
countrymen, rally back to the Constitution,
thus invigorated and strengthened : and let
there, for all lime *.o come, be written on every
heart, as a motto—that, under all circumstan
ces and in every condition of tilings, there is
but one post ot safety, and that is to stand by
the Constitution. John Tyler. '

Arrival from the “Foreign” Port of
Charleston, S. C.—Shipping Papers of the Xcw
“ReptMieP—The bark Modena, Capt. Ryder,
of tMlloway’s line of packets, plying between
Boston and Charlestun, S. C., arrived at this
port yesterday forenoon. This is the first ves
sel which has reached here with clearance papers
from the newly constituted revenue authorities
of lira State, and the papers offered by Capt.
Ryder for rhe entry of his vessel at the Custom-
House are curiosities in their way.
The manifest is in the form usually given for
clearances to a lorciffii port. The bill of health
is in the usual United States form, with thy
caption, “The Uuited States of Amtr.ca,”
crossed out with a pen, and the words, ‘‘Dis
trict of the Port cf Charleston, South Carolina,”
printed in the margin. After “the Both year of
the,” the words “Independence of tbe United
Slates of America” are crossed out, and below
is written, “Sovereignty and Independence of
the State of South Carolina.” The Secession
ists thus claiming au iudependency co-existent
with that of the Union from which they have se
ceded. The clearance paper has undergone the
same erasures and interlineations. They were
signed by W. F. Colcock, Collector, and John
Lawrence, Naval Officer.
The Custom House officers not having beeu
notified that South Carolina was out of the
Union, refused to enter the vessel under the
bogus papers, and sa Cnpt. Ryder sails under a
coastwise license, it was not regarded as neces
sary that he should have cleared at all from
Charleston.—Boston Journal
A Strongly Fortified City.—Gaeta is eo
well fortified a place, both by nature and art,
that tho- gli the Piedmontese troops amount to
over 80,000, whil-t the garrison does not proba

it is supposed that it will not be reduced for
some months, particularly as the Powers will
not recognise a blockade from the sea. There
are plenty ot provision* there, and the King’s
soldiery, which at first seemed fleeing from
him, now vie with each other in defending this
hist stronghold. It should be recollected that
when Joseph Bonaparte besieged Gaeta in 1806,
he was not aide to reduce it lor more than six
months. It has been since then rendered
much stronger. The position taken by the
PiedmoAtese on the SUt ultimo, after crossing
the Garigliano, may have misled the reader, as
