Many cases thought to be decidedly consumptive, have been promptly cured by osing a few bottles. As anodyne expectorant, without astringing the bowels, it stands pan*mount to all cough mixtures. LITTLE’S s FRENCH MIXTURE. This is prepared from a French Recipe («B the forms of No. 1 aud 2; the first for the acute, and V 2 for the chronic stage,) and from its unexampled ► ucf*>s is likely to supersede every other remedy for the cure of diflMM of the Kidneys aud Bladder, Gonorrhoeal, Blennorrliaal, and Leuchorrhceal or Floor Albas affections.

Milledgeville, Nov. 5th, 1SG0. •• *»• B1L.I.S VETOED. Tite Governor has withheld hi-< signature from the following hills passe 1 at the late Session of the Genera! Assembly, for the reason? given after eneh : An net"for the relief of John R. Dyer, Executor of Anthony Dyer of Jasper ('entity. For the reason that in the opinion of the Governor, tite State is not liable to pay the Attorney’s fees and expenses incur red by Mr. Dyer, in the action of ejectment referred to, iu said bill. An act to pay James H. Estes a sum of money lost by him by reason of an error in the Records of the State of Georgia. The facts in the ease are similar to the facts recited in the bill for the relief of Charles Whitlock of DeKaib Uo. They show in the opinion ofthe Governor, that Mr. Estes was guilty of neglect in failing to look to (lie records in the other offices in the State House, when lie was told in one that the lot was granted. Had he applied for a eopv Grant, the error would at onee have been detected. For the reasons given in the veto message in the Whitlock case, the bill is r.ot signed. An act to consolidate theoffices of Clerk ofthe Supe rior and Inferior Courts of the counties of Randolph and Harris, and for other pnrposes: An act to consolidate theoffices of Clerk of the Su perior and Inferior Courts of Dawson. Stewart and DeKnlb counties; An net to consolidate the offiees of Clerk of the Su perior and Inferior Courts of Clayton county. For the reason that the General Law of the Stnte now au thorizes the same ptrsou to hold both offices, if elect ed to both. Also an act to consolidate the offiees of Clerk of the Superior Court, Clerk of the Inferior Court ami Or dinary, in the county ot Crawford, etc. For the reason that the duties of the Ordinary and tite duties of Clerk of the Superior Court, tire incompatible with each other. An act for the benefit of tlio McDuffie Rifles, a Vol unteer Company in Warren county: To incorporate the Wire Grass Minute Men, a Vol unteer Corps of Light Infantry now existing iu Ware bom -Ware e^pnty, and_Ao,gi 4iit certain privilc ryitnty, and_to.gr.pit certain privilege; the Jnekson Guards, a Volunteer Company now ganized in Atlanta, Fulton comity; An act to incorporate the Rome Light Guards in the city of Rome. The Oconee Cavalry, in the town of Athens. To amend an act incorporating the Newnan Guards. To extend the provisions of this act to ail Volunteer Companies in this State, and for other pur poses ; An act to incorporate tin- Aitamaha Scoot, at Jones Creek, in the county of Liberty, the Brunswick Rifles of the county of Glynn, and confer certain privileges ami exemptions on the same; An net to incorporate the Griffin Fire Company No. 1, and to constitute the same a Military Company for certain purposes herein named, and to confer on the members thereof, certain privileges and exemptions. To authorize the Atlanta Fire Company, No. 1, to increase their numbers. To incorporate tiie several Military Companies herein mentioned, and for other purposes; An act to incorporate the Glover Guards in the town of Montieello, Jasp-r comity, nnd tin* Fire Side Guards, a Volunteer Company of Elbert county, and to grant them ceriain privileges, and to extend the provisions ol'this act to the Columbia Volunteers, iu the town of Hearing, nnd also to the Thomson Guards, in the town of Thomson, in Columbia county, nnd also to extend the provisions of this net to the Seriven Sharp Shoot- ors, in Seriven county, and for other purposes. For the reason that a General Act was passed by the Legis lature in 1859, incorporating these and all other Vol unteer Military Corps then in existence or thereafter to be formed, and a similar General Act passed by tin- late Legislature, again incorporates them all a second time. The Governor docs not, therefore, think it neces sary to tuke them up again, and pass separate acts incorporating each a third time. An act to compensate the Grand and Petit Jurors of the counties ot Brooks, Mitchell, Clinch, Glynn, Laurens, Lowndes nnd Milton. For the reason that there is a General Law of the State authorizing the Justices of the Inferior Court of the several counties to levy a tax upon the recommendation of the Grand Jury for this purpose. An Act for the relief of James IL Erwin. Mr Er win is a citizen of Alabumu, and this act proposes to permit him to hold the office of Notary Pufilic in Geor gia, while he resides in Alabama. The Governor, be lieving that only the citizens of this State should hold office in this State, refuses his assent to tlie bill. lie considers the principle wrong, and the precedent a bad one. An Act to authorize George B. May to practice medicine in the count}- of Murray without license. The Governor refuses to sign this bill for reasons heretofore given in similar cases. An Act for the relief of Smith Campbell, late of the county of Woith, now of Butts couuty; also for the relief of John Stewart of the county of Baldwin: nnd also for the relief of Benjamin li. Cross, of Pierce county. The wife of etu-h ofthe above named persons has obtained a divorce in the primer court; ami this is a bill to relieve the guilty parties from the penalties of the law. The Executive sanction is withheld for tin- reasons heretofore given to tlw> ........i-y i- n— cas-s. An Act to discharge William Rogers, of the county of Milton, from the trusteeship of the property of Mrs. Ann C. Lenoir, and her children, and to vest said trus teeship in John W. Lenoir, the husband of AtinC. Lenoir, and the father of said children. For the rea son that the bill proposes to dismiss the trustee ap pointed by a deceased person, and appoint a new tre.s- security for the faithful execution of the trust. An Act for the relief of Silvester Hill, wife of John Hill, of Cobb county, and for*other purposes. This bill proposes to make Mrs. Hill a free dealer, with the right to hold property separate from her husband, sue and be sued, Are., and is not sanctioned for the reasons given to the country in other similar cases. An Act to authorize Win. J. Avery ofthe county of Merriwether to peddle in said county without license. For the reason thattbe law now gives the Inferior Court of the county, upon the recommendation of the Grand Jury, full power to grant him a license on such reason able terms as tlie Court may impose, ifhe-be an indi gent and infirm person. An Act to amend an act to provide for the education of the child! en of this State between certain ages, and to provide an annual sinking fund for the extinguish ment of the public debt, assented to Deo, 11th, 1858, so far as relates to the county of Hall. For the rea son that the law now gives the Board of Education in said county, or any other county, the right to dispose of said fund as proposed by this bill, if in their judg ment it is best to do so. An Act to incorporate the Georgia Banking Compa ny; aud for other purposes therein named. This is an ordinary Bank charter, and the bill is not signed for the reasons repeatedly given by the Governor on refusing to sign similar bills. The present is, in his opinion, a very unpropitious time to tie chartering new Banks. An Act to incorporate the Coosa Bank, nnd for other purposes therein named. This is the most stringent charter that lias been presented to the Governor, but it contains n provision in palpable violation of the Con stitution of the State. Tite 12th section of the act provides, in case of a violation of the charter, that the legislature, by joint resolution, may direct scire facias to issue from the Supreme Court of tiie State in the name of the State of Georgia, calling upon snid corpo ration to show cause, &c., and on the hearing of the case in the Supreme Court, it provides that thoi.-sues of fact shall be tried by a jury empannellcd by said Court, for that purpose. The bill therefore proposes to give the Supreme Court original jurisdiction of this case, and provides for a jury trial in the Supreme Court. The first section of the Constitution says in express terms, that the Supreme Court "shall have no original jurisdiction.” The conflict is therefore palpa ble. The Governor and Committee left to bring up the unfinished business of the session have examined ami compared the original Biil, as introduced and passed, with the engrossed and enrolled copies, supposing that the original biil might read Su/r rior Court, but the} find it plainly written Supreme Com t in the original bill, and in both the engrossed and enrolled copies. An Act for the relief of James I*. Wilkinson, of the county of Walton, security on the penal bond of B. J. Wilson. Forreasons heretofore given in similar cases. No facts appear in this ease, whieh, iu tile opinion of the Governor, take it out of the general rule. An Act to incorporate tiie West Point and Franklin Navigation company, and for other purposes therein named. For tie- r«L~.n rtmt the mu contains no suffi cient personal liability el mse to bind the rtoekholders for the debts of|:he corporation, in ease of its insol vency. A bill to be entitled “Au act to provide for tiie dis tribution nnd disbursement of the common School Fund, to which the counties of Gilmer. Fannin and Dade, is or may he entitled under and by virtue of an act passed on the 11th day of December, 185°; to repeal a part ofthe third section of nn net to alter and amend an net to provide for the education of the children of this State, between certain ages, and to provide an an nual sinking fund for the Actinguishinent of the public- debt, assented to 2lst Dec. 1859,so fur as said section limits the tuition of poor school children iD the county of Dougherty; to authorize the Ordinary of Chattoo ga county to pay E. II. Swelling for teaching poor chil dren; to extend the provisions of this Bill to the coun ties of Liberty nnd Mitchell; nnd for other pnrposes herein mentioned.” For the reason that some ofthe provisions of the bill are evidently unconstitutional, because of their variance from the title of the proposed act; and because, while the caption indicates that the act is to be local—applying to the counties of Gilmer, Fannin, Dade, Liberty and Mitchell only, some of the sections in the bill are general; and should the bill lie- ootne a law, our school system throughout the entire State, would be changed iu many material and radical respects, which was evidently not the intention of the legislature, as gathered from the caption of the Bill. South Carolina Convention. (FIFTH DAT.) DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. Condensed from the Courier's report. Friday, Dec. 21sf, 1860. Mr. Rhett, Chairman of the Committee, to whom was committed the ditty of preparing nn Address to the people of the Southern States, to declare the causes which justify the secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union, made their report as follows : DECLARATION OT THF. CACSES WHICH JUSTIFY THE SECESSION OP SOUTH CAROLINA FROM TIIE FED ERAL UNION. The Slate of South Carolina, having determined to resume her separate and equal place among nations, deems it due to herself, to the remaining United States of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the causes which have led to this act. In the year 1765, that portion of the British Empire embracing Great Britain, undertook to make laws for the government of that portion composed of the thirteen American Colonies. A struggle for the right of seif government ensued, which resulted, on the 4th July. 1776, in a Dec laration, by the Colonies, “that they are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States, and that, as freo and independent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract and to so much more only as was necessary to e-.vcv.tnc Hit- power granu.-h. ims limitation left the whole remaining mass of power subject to the clause reserving it to the States or to the people and rendering, unnecessary any specification of reserved rights. We hold tl at the government thus established is subject to the two great principles asserted in the Declaration of Independence; and we hold 1 - - *!■■* *1.—M...-1-w** if. ,tUn jphiw-fai if to a third tunJaniental principle, namely: the Iaw of compact. We maintain that in every compact between two or more parties the obligation is mutual; that the failure of oneof the contracting parties to perform a material part of the agreement, entirely releases the obligation of the other and that where no arbiter is provided, each party is re mitted to his own judgment to determine the fact of failure, with ali its consequences. In the present case, that fact is established with certainty. We assert that fifteen of the States have deliberately refused for years past to fulfil their Constitutional obligations, and we refer to their own statutes for the proof. Tin- Constitution of the United States, in its 4th Article, provides as follows. “No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regula’ion therein, be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up, on Claim of the party to whom sucit service or labor may be due.’’ This stipulation was so material to the compact, that without it that compact would not have been made. The greater number of the contracting parties held slaves, and the State of Virginia had previously declared her estimate of its value by making it the condition of her cession of the ter ritory which now compasses the States North of the Ohio River. The same article of the Constitution stipulates also for the rendition by the several States of fugitives from justice front the other States. The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executrd. But an increasing hostility on the part of the Northi-i n States to the institution of slavery has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution The States of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachu setts, Connecticut. Rhode Island New York Penn sylvania, Illinois, Indiana. Ohio, Michigan, Wis consin and Iowa, have enacted laws, which either nullify the Acts of Congress or render useless any attempt to execute them. In many of these States the fugitive is discharged from the service or labor claimed, and in none of them has the State Government complied with the stipulation made in the Constitution. The State of New Jersey, at an early day, passed a law for the rendition of fugitives slaves in conformity with the constitu tional —<!*■ tilling; put the curren t of anti-slavery feeling lias led her more recently to enact laws which render inoperative the remedies provided by her own law and by the laws of Congress. In the State of New York even the right of transit for a slave has been denied by iier tribunals; and the States of Ohio and Iowa have refused to sur render to justice fugitives charged with murder, and with inciting s.-rvile insurrection in the State of Virginia. Thus the constitutional compact has been deliberate y broken and disregarded by the non-slaveholding States, and the consequence follows that South Carolina is released front its obligations. The ends for which this Constitution was framed ar - declared by itself to be ‘ to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquidly, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare and secure the bless ings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity.” These ends it endeavored to accomplish by a Federal Government, in which each State was recognised as an equal, and had s'-parate control over its own institutions. The right of property in slaves was recognised by giving to free persons distinct political rights, by giving them tiie right to represent and burdening them with direct taxes for three-fifths of their slaves, by authorizing the im portation of slaves for twenty years and by stip ulating for the rendition of fugitives from labor We affirm that these ends for which this Gov ernment was instituted have been defeated, and the Government itself has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States. Those States have assumed the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic insti tutions; and have denied the rights of property es tablished in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the iustitutiou of slavery; they have permitted the open estab'ishmi nt among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to en- loign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who re main, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection. For twgnty-five years this agitation has been steadily increasing, until it has now secured foB* aid the power of the Common Government. _ Ob serving the forms of the Constitution, a sectional party has found within that article establishing the Executive Department, the means ot subvert ing the Constitution itself. A geographical line has been drawn across tbo Union, and all the States North of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the adminis tration ofthe Common Government, because he alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do.” I Key further solemnly declare that whenever any “furmof government becomes destructive of the ends for whieh it was established, it is the right ot the people to alter or abolish it, aud to institute a new Government. Deeming the Government of of Great Britain to have become destructive of these ends, they declared that the Colonies “are absolved from all allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the States of Great Biitain is, aud ought to be, totally ’dissolved.” In pursuance of this Declaration of Indepen dence, each of the thirteen States proceeded to ex ercise its separate soverf ignty; adopted for itself a Constitution, and appointed officers for the ad ministration of government in all its departments —Legislative, Executive and Judicial. For pur poses of defence, they united their arms and their counsels; and,in 1778, they enteredintoa League known as the Articles of Confederation, whereby they agreed to entrust the administration, of their extei nal relations to a common agent, known as the Congress of the United States, expressly de clartng, in the first article, ‘that each State retains its sovereignty, freedom and independence, and every power, jurisdiction aud right which is not, hy this Confederation, expressly delegated to the L nited States in Congress assembled.” Under this Confederation the War of the Revo lution was carried on. and on the 3d of Septem ber, 17^3, the contest ended, and a definitive Treaty was signed by Great Britain, in which she acknowledged the Independence of the Colonies in the following terms. “ART. 1.—Ills Britannic Majesy acknowledges the said United States, viz: New Hampshire, Mas sachusetts Bay, Rhode Island and Providence or-f-n.imatfmigr euinn N.,~ V.-L. JI._ Pennsylvania, Delaware Maryland, Virginia North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, to be free, sovereign and independent states; that he treats with them as such; aud for himself, his heirs and successors, relinquishes all claims to tho gov ernment, proprietany and territorial rights of the same aud every part thereof.” Titus were established tite two great principles asserted by the Colonies, namely; tite right ol a State to govern itself; and the right of a people to abolish a Government when it becomes destructive of the ends for which it was instituted. And con current with the establishment of these principles, was the fact that eaelt Colony became and was recognized by the mother country as a free, sov ereign and independi lit state. In 1787. Deputies were appointed by the States to revise the At tides of Confederation, and on 17th September, 17"7, these Deputies recommended, for the adoption of the States, the Articles of Union, known as the Constitution of the United States. The parties to whom this Constitution was sub mitted were the several sovereign States, they were to agree or disagree, and when nine of them agreed, the compact was to take effect among those concurring; aud the General Government, as tilt- common agent, was then to be invested with tlieir authority. If only nine of the thirteen States had concur red, the other four would have remained as they then were—separate, sovereign States, indepen dent of any of tiie provisions of tho Constitution. In fact, two of the States did not accede to the Constitution until longafter it had gone into opera tion among the other eleven; and during that in terval, they exercised the functions of an inde pendent nation. By tltis Constitution, certain duties were charg ed on the several States, and the exercise of cer tain of their powers restrained, which necessarily implied tlieir continued existence as sovereign States. But. to remove all doubt, an amendment was added, which declared that the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, ot to the people. On the 23d May, 17c8, South Carolina, by a Convention of her people, passed an Ordinance assenting to this Constitution, aud afterwards altered her own Constitution, to conform herself to the obligations she had undertaken. Thus was established, by compact between thp States, a Government with defined objects and powers, limited to the express words of the grant, haa declared that that “Government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free,” and that the pnbhc mind most rest iu the belief that slavery is in tin- eourseul of timate extinction. This sectional combination for the subversion of the Constitution, has been aided in some of the •States by elevating to citizenship, persons, who, by the supreme law of the land, are incapable of becoming citizens, and their votes hare been used to inaugurate a new policy, hostile to the South, and destructive of its peace and safety. On the 4th of March next, this party will take possession of the Government. It has announced that the South shall be excluded from the common Territory: that the Judicial tribunals shall he made sectional,and that a war must be waged against sla very until it shall cease throughout the United States. rhe guaranties of the Constitution will then no Oliger exist; the equal rights of the Statrs will ce lost, ilie slaveholding States will no longer have the power of self-government, or self protection, and the federal Government will have beconto their enemies. Sectional interest and animosity will deepen the irritation, and a!) hope ot teinedy is rendered vain, by the lact that public opinion at the North has invested a great political error with the sanctions of a niore erroneous religious belief. M e, therefore, the people of South Carolina, by our Delegates in Convention assembled, ap pealing to the Supreme Judge ofthe world for the rectitude of our intentions, have solemnly declared that the union heretofore existing between this State and other States of North America is dis solved, and that the State of Caroliua has resunttd her position among the nations ofthe world, as a free, sovereign and independent State; with full power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alli ances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts aud things which independent States may of right do. Aud, for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Provi dence, we mutually pledge to each other uur lives our fortunes aud our sacred honor. Mr. Adams moved the adoption of tho report. Mr Furman. There is a statement in that do-n- ment that all the States Noitli of the sectional line cast their votes for a sectional candidate for tho Ptesident of the United States. I InAieve such is not the case. Mr. Inglis. I find recorded in the returns of one of the States that four votes were cast lor Lincoln and three for Douglas I have heard,and 1 know, that Pennsylvanians deny, not only by words, hut in conversation and writing, that they have on tht-Ir staTRTe booirs any r*crr~.n«t E;L»rt>> Jaw. They say they have a law to prevent kidnapping almost similar to a law in Virginia. They say public sentiment has perverted tho meaningut the law iu reference to persons held to labor. Mr. English said Pennsylvania has quite rec nt- ly revised her laws. It has not been long since she appointed Commissioners for that purpose. It would seem that nine of the Northern States have virtually annulled the Fugitive Slave law, wl.ile four others have hy their acts nqatly committed something that amounts pretty much to practi cal dissolution. Mr. English also quoted from De Bow's Review the actual position of Northern States in this respect. Mr. Orr said he did not think Illinois had any ceusurable law on the sul ject. Mr. Inglis doubted the authority of the state ments. \Ve well know that it is denied that there is on any statute book a law in Pennsylva nia forbidding the restoration of fugitives from la bor. I desire that everything brought before this Convention shall be exclusively the truth. I think no declaration of facts should be introduced into so solemn a document as tins address to tho people of the Southern States until it be verified. We should not go to the report of tho Legisla ture of Virginia, but have reference to the original source of information. We shoulJ go to th>' stat ute book ol Pennsylvania if we wish to really and aud truthfully ascertain tlieir laws on this subject. [Mr. Inglis here mentioned the fact of a planter with his servants at Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Iu this instance,a reverend clergy actually exhorted men to throw stones at the Southern gentleman. Ho was into Court, but was cleared ] Many attempts to rescue slaves have been made like this. Mr. Gregg did not think the paper ot the Com mittee was entirely perfect. As a State paper it is to go out as a new Declaration of Independence.— It is to me defective and imperfect. Not one word is said about the tariff, which has caused us so many years of contest. The main stiess is made upon the unimportant point of fugitive slave s. If we undertake to sit forth the caus- s wl ich justify secession, we ought to publish all complete in one document, like that adopted in 1776. It should not be so long, for that document says too much. [Laughter.] We ought not to set forth a small portion ot these reasons. But that is wliat this paper does. It is not the sort of paper to go be fore Court to justify our cause. A correct description of the paper would be to declare some of the causes which justify South Carolina for leaving the Federal Union. If it is piupei to sci lorin in a solemn declaration some of the causes, let the title be altered, and then, if the Convention think proper, let it go forth. Up to the moment we made ourselves free, we were living under a protective tariff, and that was a vio lation, which justified our secession. For forty years, we, and those who went before us, had sub mitted to unconstitutional expenditures hy the General Government. This was a violation of the e> 1 “r v, i J—'O'—s - • » IO.-.1 .1.« people of South Carolina solemnly declared of the frequent violations of the Constitution of the Uni ted States hy the Federal Government. There were then causes which justified this State, so far as any obligation is concerned, in dissolving the Union. I believe there was nothing said in that solemn Ordinance upon this or against these laws ob structing the recovery of fugitive slaves. Many of the Acts relative to fugitives have been passed since ’52. I think a majority of them have. But when South Caroliua, eighty years ago. declared the causes then existing which fully justified tho State in seceeding, did they confine themselves to these miserable Fugitive Slave Laws—no. I think it unworthy of this body—unworthy of the Slate of South Carolina to send forth a new Declaration of Independence, and in it say nothing of any cause justifying their action but fugitive slaves. 1 propose to lay this document upon the table. We had either to refer it back to the Committee or lay it on the table because so much stress is made on the subject of fugitive slaves. Mr. Keilt. I agree with tbe gentleman from Rich land that the power of taxation is tiie central power of all governments. Put that power into my hands, and I care very little what the form of government is: I will control your people through it. That is the question in this address. We have instructed the Committee to present a sum mary of the reasons which influenced us in theac- lion we have now taken. My friend from Rich land said that the violation of the Fugitive Slave Laws are not sufficient, and he calls up the Tariff. Is that one ofthe causes at tiiis time?— What is that cause? Your late Senators, and evc-ty one of your members of the Honse of Representa tives, voted for the present tariff. (Mr. Miles. I did not ) Well, those who were there at the time voted for it, aud I have no doubt you would, if you were in it. The question of the tariff did agi tate us in 1832, and it did array this State against the Federal Government I maintain, and do always maintain, that this State triumphed then Mr. Clay.said. before uulifica- tion, that the protective taritf system had been es tablished for all time. After the Nullification Ord nance, Mr. Clay did say that the State had ac complished the destruction of that system, and that the State had triumphed. The history of that time has never been written. It is true, we were cheated in the compromie*; end realty, sir, in what single compromise have we not been cheated? My opiniou is that the Stato of South Carolina and every other Southern State have been dealing with f-tithii ss confederates. But the Tariff is not the question which brought the people up to their present attitude. We are to give a summary of cur causes to the world, but mainly to the other Southtrn States, whose co-ac tion we wish, aud we must not make a flight on the tariff question. The Whig party, throughout all the Stales, have been protective tariff meu, and they cling to that old issue with all the passions incident to the pride of hnman opinions. Are we to go off now, when other Southern States are bringing their people up to tho true mark? Are we to go off on debatable and doctrinal points. Are we to go back to the con sideration of this qnestion. of this great contro versy; go back to the party’s politics, around which so many passions cluster? Naunsare much—as sociations and passions cluster around names. The gentleman from Cliesterfleid (Mr. Inglis) says that certain constructions of the Act ot Penn sylvania are denied. He might have gone further and have said that certain constructions of the Peisona) Liberty Bills are denied. I have never seen any Abolitionist yet who did not say that these Acts had uo reference to fugitive slaves. I, myself, have very great doubts about the propriety ofthe Fugitive Slave Law. Tho Con stitution was, in the first place, a compact between the several States, and in the second, a treaty be tween sections, and, I believe, the Fugitive Slave Law was a treaty between sections. It was the act of sovereign States as a section; aud I believe sheiefore, and have very great doubts whether it ought to have been left to tbe execution of tbe several States, and failing of enforcement, I be lieve it should have been regarded as a rasas belli. I go for the address, because I believe it does present succinctly and conspicuously what are the main primary causes. Mr. Gregg. If this address was to be a declara tion of the immediate causes which produced the secession of South Carolina, what tho gentleman has said might be applicable, but its title does not say so. Another document has been made the special order for another occasion. I am unwil ling to take a vote upon this address when it may be inconsistent with that of another paper. If we wish to find the immediate cause of the se cession of South Carolina, tho immediate cause of all is the election of Lincoln. Jacob’s Cordial.
