pstursly into the Union, scarce half made up" How
far that dscontent would 60, cannot say but Of one
thing we feel confident. We dare to say that the
South will no; submit to the passage OF the Wilmot
Proviso We may speak Al least Of Of the wiaest
and strongest OF the southern States In ls47 Virginia
declared. by the unanimous vote Of both branches
Of her lssslauIe. that she would resist it, We know
the history Of the resolutions Of is47 and we know
the fsspgs which prompted them They had their on
gin Ia the firm conviction that, in order TO preserve
the Union ss blessing, not as curse, i Is abso
lutsy necessary that the compromises oil the constitution
should be observed and the equality OF The States main
tanned Nearly every slaveholdng State has responded
"a thai action and that action taken and that
response was given in times OF comparative calmness
Since that time the southern mind has become in
tenssIy excited and many southern men OF high
standing and great influence have even gone be-
yond the position taken in the Virginia resolutions In
this instance excitement has but produced its natural
ELECTS We have endeavored 10 remain calm amidst the
storm. and stand firmly on the rock Of non. intervention
Neither the denunciatons Of enemies nor the momentay
eodnssso former friends has shaken from purpose
We stand now where we have ever stood and we beg
lsaveto say northern brethren without the slightest
disposition to menace them and without any belief that
could mandate Them that the South cannot ought not,
and will mot submit 10 the Wilmo, Proviso Should that
Povso pass the two houses Of Congress- and obtain the
Executive approval convention OF the aggreved States
will assemble-not convention like that which
blsd ct Nashville June-bute real convention OF south
ern Siss representing the whole people OF those States
When that convention shall assembe-the Wimot Pro-
vso being on the statute bookt will at once provide
the most efficient means for immediate redress Then If
the Union il to be preserved ii will not be preserved by
kindly feelings, and it will not be held together by free
constitution Armed men must preserve il and the prin
eples OF the constitution must be overthrown by the
stronger power Of central desposm, upheld by love-
but BY ieats laws executed not by civil officers but by
The physical force Of standing armies But is mposs
bic for the South TO be controlled 1t is impossible for
the Union 10 be so preserved.

a very rare and admirable thing at huxley,

of land higher than the rest there were good
ly oaks on it, which were ten yards high in
the body(so the letters do expressly mention)
before you come to the branch; these, with
some other trees,did sink down with the earth
into water suddenly prepared te receive
them underneath. The fall they made was
hideous, representing thunder or well lad

trees were of great height, yet the waters
they fell into are so extremely deep, that

EATIIoF CHARLES I.

The 30th of January, 1854, will be forcv-
or memorable for the martyrdom of King
Charles l. AS the news OF his death was
made known through the country" says T.
chard, ''many persons of both sexes fell into
palpitations, swoonings, and melancholy, and
some with sudden CONSERVATION oNpircd."-
This was the crowning event OF the first half
of this remarkable century, and the signal
for the most bitter civil commotions in the
history OF our country.
Echard reviewing this time, says-"Thus
WAS the fatal year l64s completed, at which
period of time it may be proper to rest and
take short view OF the actions and behavior
tous turn of affairs. Instead of threatening,
and combining 10 take vengeance against the
destroyers of a sovereign brother, they hasted
to become sharers in the spoils OF murdered
monarch Cardinal Mazarin, afterwards
governor of France and an admircr ofCrom-
well, sent to be admitted as merchant to
traffic in the purchase of the best goods and
jewels of the rified cT1wH;of which he bought
the rich beds, hangintb, and carpets which
furnished his palace at Paris. The king of
Spain's ambassador, as soon as the dismal
murder was over, purchased as many picturee
and other precious goods belonging to the
crown as were carried upon eighteen mules
