man. That body met and organized
on the 18Th. A secession wing was
elected President of the Senate. Gov.
Qui'man's message is very lengthy. and
very frothy. He charges that the Unit.
ed States Government is hostile TO the
domestic institutions of the Souih-lha,
the Constitution is inadequate 10 the
protection Of the South, and must be
amended, or the Southern States must
promptly and peaceably sccede from the
Union. He recommends the call Of
convention by the Legislature, TO de
wise the "mode Of redress"-the estab.
lishmcnt Of a Southern committee, of
safety on the pert of the Southern
States, equal in number TO their repre-.
sen,a'ion in Congress, with full powers.

cent action Of Congress, in reference TO
California, District of Columbia, and

The friends Of the Union, meantime,
are active. An immense meeting was
held al Jackson on the 18th, at which
Judge SHARKEY-ihe President Of the

There were twenty five Vice Presi.
dents, composed of the frs, men in the
State, and four Secretaries. The meet,
ing was addressed by Senator FooTE,
ISAAC w. DAVIS, JOHN d. FREEMAN,
late Democratic Attorney General, Of
the State, and others. Letters were read
from CLAY, CAss, Downs, and others
FooTE and FREEMAN, were extremely
severe in their denuncia;ions Of the
course Of Gov. QUlTMAN. The meeting
was composed of members of both pc.
lilical parties, and the Ratchet Of party
strife was formally buried, and deter.
minaiion expressed 10 unite as Union
party. Resolutions were adopted in ia
vor Of The Union-in favor ofthe recent
compromise measures--de nouncing The
disunionis.s as disturbcfs of the peace
of the country, and recommending {
convention OF delegates to meet ii
Jackson, next May, to nominate Unior

PRoscRIpr1oN.-According to the Report of the
Postmaster General, the number of post Offices in
the United States is seventeen thousand one hum
dred and sixty -four. Of this immense number,
less than one-eghth have been removed from Office
during the last fiscal year. The number of Post
masters appointed within that period $3.50,
of which 2,7S2 were in consequence of resigna-
tons; 1873 were caused by death; 2S4 were
changes Of Sites II were expired commissions !;
20 were commissions renewed; % became Presi-
dental appointments; 92l were new offices, and
2,l03 were removals.
This plain statement of facts, taken from official
sources, is the most overwhelming reply that can
be made to the charge of wholesale prescription
preferred against Gen. TAyLoR's administration.
Mr.. CoLLAMER upon entering on his duties, found
over II 900 post Offices in the possession of the OPP
position. He has removed less than one-eighth of
the number. Instead of prescribing Locofocoism,
he has not even equalzed the patronage of his De-
partment. We have no doubt that similar state
of things will be found to exist in the other depart
nents Of the Government, and that searching in
vesigation would prove that at the present time
large majority of the places at the disposal of the
Government are occupied and enjoyed by its bitter
est enemies. And this is termed prescription.
