THE STATE COMMEMORATIVE publish the
Act Of the last Legislature and the article from
the Federal Union, relating TO the State Con-
vention. The vote upon the passage of the
bill providing for the call of the Convention, il
will be seen, was almost unanimous. This was
not a party measure 1t was not intende /
as a mere bravado 1t is well known that the
Northern people have such a contempt for what
they call "Southern buster" that they believe
that Georgia and the South will back out
And there are men among us already scheming
how they may use the present emergency to
give ascendeacy to the party to which they be-
long, not that they care for their party, bnt be-
cause they expect themselves to be elevated by
its success. We know, too, that there are ntelli-
gent men in our midst who, looking at the
strength and determination of the North, and
knowing the divisions of the South, regard sa-
very as doomed, and resistance as unavailing.
Such will counsel submission, and renewed con-
cessions, to renewed demands. But we cannot
believe and will not believe that such is the de-
cision of Georgia. The last legislature did but
its duty to the State, and to the South. And
now it will rest with the Convention when il
meets, to determine what Georgia will do We
adopt the language of the Republic, in saying
that the friends of the Convention should take
the ground that the "mode and measure of re-
dress should be left solely with that body, and
rally upon true, firm and reliable men. We
confidently anticipate that the Convention will
recommend such course as the honor and in
terests of the South require.

From The Columbus Enquirer.

"This brings us to the question, will the ad-
mission Of California be sufficient cause for dis
solution of the Union, and will the happening oil
snch an event authorize a Convention Of the
State to enloose the bonds which bind us to our
sister States Does not the question startle
every real friend of the South Are we indeed
SO near the end Of that great race of freedom
which has so signally marked the glorious
career of our country Is the hour so nenr al
hand when the work of our ancestors is to be
torn down, and its t.oken fragments scattered
abroad over the wide earth, to make mirth fol-
the tyrants that have prophecied its destruction
1t is an issue which our contemporaries say must
be now met IL is the hour, they assert, when
Georgia must take the lead, and through her
convention, tear from under the mighty fabric
one strong pillar that sustain and supports it.
We assert again, if the convention is called for
the purposes indicated by our neighbors, that we
are prepared to meet it. TIE people have in
some instances been led astray by the cry of
Southern rights, but they little dreamed that all
this parade was intended to prepare their minds
for a dissolution of the Union Thousands on
thousands have desired that our troubles should
be settled, ifthey could be, by adopting the Mis-
souri, line as basis of adjustment, who are
determnedto give no countenance to the Interior
projects Of the madmen of the day.

THE SPIRIT OF DIsUNIoN.-Since the mask
has been withdrawn from the Disnaion project
in Georgia, it is astonishing how bold and de-
mandatory its advocates have become. Some
of the Presses seem to be edited by infiriate
madmen, and the public speakers deport them
selves like men partially demented They have
no spirit Of federation, but tiercely denounce as
co,cards and traitors all who do not rally under
the bloody flag Of Disunion! Even the editor of
the Albany Patriot has fallen under their dis
pleasure, because he prefers system of Non
Intercourse to immediate DisunOn! In his last
number the editor says:
'There was one gentleman who, on his return
from the Americas meeting, took the liberty of
threatening U.S. that if we did not discontinue the
discussion of the remedy for Southern wrongs,
he and his friends would establish an opposition
paper, destroy our circulation, and do us what
injury they could.
Our answer was, and is, that in the advocacy
of what we believe to be right, or the dcnuncia-
ton Of what we believe to be wrong, if we now
knew that he, or his friends, had the power, and
the viii, to sweep from us every dollar which
we possess, and for which we have toiled, we
would fearlessly pursue convictions Of duty,
regardless of any and every consequence.
If that gentleman knew how utterly we de-
spise time-scrving politicians, the echoes, tails
and shadows Of would-be great mel,--men who
could be swerved from what they believed to be
right by threats of injury, or promises of reward
he would have saved himself some mortiIca-
ton"

FOR CALIFORNIA.
UNITED STATES MAIL STEAM SHIP
THROUGH PASSAGE TO

UNITED STATES MAIL STEAMSHIP
COMPANY THROUGH PASSAGE TO
CALIFORNIA.
THE public viii be grati6ed to learn that the
| United States Mail Steamship Company are en-
abled to announce that their arrangements are now
complete for sending passengers through from
New York to San Francisco and back.
In the first attempts o this Company to meet
the wants Of travel to California, by providing
ships on the Pacific, in connection with their
ships from New York to Chagres, they were pre-
vailed upon, at the urgent solicitation of the great
number then DESTROYS TO 60 out to sell tickets for
through passages from Panama il advance, for
their ships then going round This was done
from desire to accommodate those who could
procure passages in no other quarter, and by
which, whatever might be the detention, they
would reach San Francisco sooner than by any
other li.le. Unforeseen difficulties and the preva-
lence Of fever at Rio de JaneIro at the time, pre-
vented their ships from reaching Panama as soon
as anticipated and caused detention at the 18TH
mus, which was increased by the Impotence of
passengers a going forward, against the advice
Of the Company, at an earlier day than the ship
could possibly reach Panama.
These interruptions are now all removed.
Three of the four ships Of the Company, intended
for the Pacific service, have arrived at Panama,
and several of them have performed trips to San
Francisco and back. So that the Company are
now able TO give the public the assurance that the
voyage through from New York to San Fran
cisco, will be performed with regularity and des
patch.
Their Pacific Line, from Panama to San Fran
cisco, consists of the
REPUBLIC, Capt. HuDsos.
ITHMUS, Capt. HITcHcocK.
COLUMBUS, Capt. PECK
ANTELOPE, Capt. AcKLEY.
Their Atlantic and Gulf Line, from New York
to Chagres, of the
GEORGIA, Capt. PORTER, U. S. N.
OHIO, Capt ScHENCK, U. S. N.
FALCON, Capt HARTsrEN, U. S. N.
The connection between the two lines will be
carefully and regularly kept up, so that no delay
beyond the usual stay of the ship in port at Pana-
ma, will arise
The large size, well known speed, and superior
accommodations Of their New York and Chagres
Line, and the speed and accommodations of the
ships Of their Pacific Line, offer the most certain,
rapid, and pleasant through passage to California.

Mr.. VENABLE sSPEEon.--Let no one omit to read /,
in our paper to-day, the very able and eloquent
speech of MIR. Venable, the distinguished repre-
sentative Of the Orange District. IL the South has
been vanquished in the struggle, no man can hold
MIR. Venable responsible for the result. He has
done his duty, manfuy, unwearedly, constantly;
and if all the representatives from this State had
stood up for the Union and the rights of the
South with as much spirit and frmness rs he, and
Ashe, and Daniel, and Clingman have displayed,
the slaveholding States might have obtained much
better terms, and the s'evil day might have been
postponed, perhaps, forever.
Mr.. Venabe has so conclusively answered Mr..
Badgers late submission speech, that we omit, to-
day, our second article on the subject.

dissolution OF the Union. la
The Times deserves credit at least for its hon

to be expected from that quarter. There are to be
temporary expedlents, no postponed issues,
no non-intercourse enaetments for the Times
its supporters. They are openly for secession, and
if need be, for Girl acar! We hope that other pa
