ten an eloquent letter TO the editor Of the Cstia
ADVOCATE, in favor Of the Union We quote from 1t
the following forcible passage:
"My creed is simple and short. l go for my
country my whole country, as represented by the
inoissoluoe Union OF all the States of great
Coniederacy; and go for the maintenance OF the
rights and ifnmunities of each separate State or
Territory irePudiate war at any time if it can
be avoided; and especially all civil war between
brethren OF the same political household 1t is an
easy matter TO talk OF it, and there may be no shud-
dering when we hear it; but the realization will
bring blood and ruin, and heart breaking and
agony, widowhood and orphanage, such as neither
we nor our fathers have ever heard or dreamed Of
"Ruthless demagogues, either North or South
may talk OF 1t in strains Of flaming eoquence, be-
cause they hope by this means to mountint power
or to maintain power already acquired; but it be-
comes the substantial yeomanry Of the country
upon whom the burdens of such things must fall
the people from whose hearts and purses the blood
and treasure must flow by which such contest il
to be sustained, it becomes them to ponder this mat
ter seriously; 70 look well to the cost of such a
struggle, and to its issues and its gains At any
rate let us resolve, southern men, TO proceed
calmly, deliberately, justly, patiently, in our re-
sistance to what we deem the unjust aggression of
our northern brethren. Let US exhaust every other
argument and try every other means of redress be-
fore we indulge Tor moment the idea of dissolvipp
the Union Of these States; and when this catastro-
phe comes, II come it must, let it find US at the last
ditch, having tried every peaceable remedy, ready
with arm and heart to defend ourselves"

Northern cities. We have endeavored to show
that the inducements to do SO are greater than
they would be to export through the Southern
Atlantic States. The latter would be thus de
pendent upon an alien, possibly upon hostile,
interest for the very materials upon which they
rely for the culture of their principal staple.
We are aware that, if the theory of the South
ern agtators be correct, there will be union
of the Southern States but there is no proba-
bility that such will be the case The States
of the South neither harmonic in sentiment
nor IN interest; nor can we see how States
which require protective duty upon sugar, or
which wish the foreign duties taken off tobacco
how States which, like Virginia, Kentucky,
and Tennessee, prefer the white basis of repre-
sentation--can unite in common government
with States which, having made free trade and
the slave basis the ground Of dlssolving our
Union, would not consent to enter into another
without securing these two principles in the
Constitution. We cannot, within the limits
prescribed to ourselves, advert TO all the
consequences of disunion TO the Southern States.
But we think it evident that the dissolution of
the Union would result in the establishment of 4
system Of separate Southern republics, each of
which would be dependent upon some foreign
power for its commercial operations, and upon
foreign American States for its supplies.

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF VERMoNT.-The

sage was then received and read. II is a short and
well written document. In it the Governor depre-
Gates party spirit; recommends improvements in
the system Of free education; advocates organi-
cation of the militia conformable to the United
States laws points out the necessity of economy in
the public expenditurescalls attention to the prac-

chapter and section, without any mention of the
subject nature of the provision repealed altered,
or modiied and urges the continuance and patron
age by the Legislature of the banks and railroads
the protection and advancement of the agricultural
and manufacturing interests. He assures the Legis

their endeavors to advance the public welfare and
the happiness of the people, and expresses the
'hope that, under the guidance, and with the bless
ing of that Almighty Being who has hitherto been
our preserver and protector, we may be led to the
adoption of such measures, and such only, will
promote the peace and increase the happiness Of
the people of this State and of the United States"

UNION MEETING IN SrEwART.-A large and en-
tbusiastic Union meeting held in Stewart
county, Georgia, the 4th instant, when strong reso
lutions were unanimously carried in favor of the
Union as II is Men of all parties participated on
the occasion, and evinced the same determination
TO maintain the laws and peace Of the country.
James Clark, John Wiiford, Daniel Mathison,
and Sampson Bell, two Wings and two Democrats,
nominated the candidates of the Union
party and resolution adopted TO have 500 copies
of the platform and declaration of principles Of the
" Union Southern Rights party" Of Stewart print
ed for distribution.
Here is a voice from Southwestern Georgia, the
great cotton growing and saveholding district of
the State. Are these planters "submissionists''
and traitors" We hope TO hear soon that other
counties in that section and every where through
out the State have moved for the Union. Notting

stance would be refused and in the last the party
would be reinanded to his former latgftI custody.
The condition Of in custody fugitive
slave, under this law far respects the writ OF
habeas corpus, is precisely the same as that OF all
other prisoners under the laws Of the United States
The privilege of that writ remains alike to all OF
them, but TO be judged of-granted or retused-dis
charged enforced-by the proper tribunal, &C
eording to the circumstances of each case, and as
the commitment and detention may appear to be
legal or illegal.
The whole effect of the law may be thus briefly
stated Congress has constituted tribunal with
exclusive jurisdiction, to determine summariy,
and without appeal, who are fugityes from service
labor under the second section of the fourth art
Gle of the Constitution, and to whom such service
orlabor is due. The judgment of every tribunal
of exclusive jurisdiction, where appeal lies is OF
necessity conclusive upon every other tribunal and
therefore the judgment of the tribunal created by
this act is conclusive upon all tribunals Wherever
this judgment is made to appear, it is conclusive of
the right of the owner to retain in his custody the
fugitive from his service, and to remove him back
to the place State from which he escaped. II it
is shown upon the application of the fugitive for a
writ of habeas corpus it prevents the issuing of the
writ-if upon the return it discharges the writ and
restores or maintains the custody.
This view of the law Of this case is fully sustained
by the decision Of the Supreme Court of the United
States in the case of Tobias Watkins, where the
Court refused to discharge, upon the ground that
he in custody under the sentence of court of
competent jurisdiction, and that judgment was
conclusive upon them. g Pet, 202.)
The expressions used in the last clause of the
sixth section, that the certificate therein alluded
to "sha prevent all molestaton" of the persons to
whom granted, "by any process issued" Sc,
probably mean, only what the act of 1893 meant
by declaring certificate under that act sufti-
cient warrant for the removal of fugitive, and
certainly do not mean suspension of the habea.
corpus.
conclude by repeating my conviction, that there
| is nothing in the bill in question which conflicts
with the Constitution, or suspends, was intended
to suspend, the privilege of the writ of habeas cor
pus.

PEARcE's BrLL.-A number Of our Texas ex-
changes denounce the Pesrce bill in the bitterest
terms. We were sufficiently explicit in the indcs-
ton of our views this bill, last week, and have
since TO change them. The work of
finding objections to the bill is easy enough but
whilst arc in search of objections, we think it
will not be difficult TO find some very urgent rea-
sons why the proposition, If it pass, should be ac-
ceptcd by the people Of this State The first and
controlling reason with US, ia, to avoid collision
with the Federal Government, which would be vir-
tualy dissolution Of the Union. We are not yet
prepared to see the Union dissolved about a few

that. We are ready 10 make many sacrifices for

stances 10 accept the proposition peace offering
