FRIDAY MORNING, RF.BRUA KV
TDK SOUTHERN REPUBLIC. -
The harmony, patriotism, prudence and wise
statesmanship whiehAave so far characterized
the action of the Congress in Montgomery, and
the judgment manifested in their selection of
President and Vice President of the Confeder
ate States, have all had a mod happy effect in
uniting and harmonizing public opinion. \V ith-
in the comparatively small circle of our person
al intercourse, many who have strongly oppos
ed the secession movement are now fully re
conciled to it and oppose all reconstruction,
and this feeling is daily gathering strength.—
itr-r gratifying, after twenty years-of-wron-
gling with the North over their isms," to see
public business movingon harmoniously, deco

Withdrawal of Hon. A. Iverson from the
Senate of the United States.
The Georgia Ordinance of Secession having
been read to the Senate, by request of Mr. Iver
son, he rose and said:
The paper just read by the Clerk informs
the Senate of what has already been announc
ed to the public in unofficial" form, that the
State of Georgia, by the solemn act of her sov
ereign convention, has withdrawn (rotn the Fed
eral Union. She is no longer one of the United
States of America, buthaS resume ! all the pow
ers heretofore granted by her to the Federal
Government, and asserted her independence as
a separate and sovereign State, la performing
this important and solemn act, she has been in
fluenced by a deliberate and firm conviction,
that her safety, her interest and her honor de
mand it. The opinion of her people has been
gradually tending to this point for the last ten
years, and recent events have strengthened and
confirmed it. An overwhelming majority' of
her people have, under the sanction ofro K >iiui i-
ty and law, elected delegates to a convention,
into their present attitude of separate indepen
dence.
And now, Mr. President, it remains for me
only to express my grateful acknowledgments
and thanks for the uniform courtesy and kind
ness with which I have been treated by all
those Senators with whom I have had official or
social relations during my service in this bodv;
and wishing them each and all long life, pros
perity, and happiness, 1 bid them farewell.

“MERELY.”
Lincoln asks at Indianapolis—"But if the
United States should merely holdatnl retake its
own forts and other proptery” * * * would
that be coercion or invasion ? “An’ if I should
stale Paddy Murphy’s pig, asked Pat, would
that be thaving ?” Let Lincoln, for example,
“merely" retake the Augusta Arsenal without
invasion—or coercion—or both! It is a small
J matter “merely," but he will have a lively time !
i of it, whether done by invasion or coercion, or 1
not.

The President elect of the dis-United States
