Mississippi LegisIature, &c.

The telegraph apprizes us that, in obedience
to the proclamation to that effect, the Legisla-
ture Of Mississippi assembled on the 18th in
slant, when the Governors message was trans
mltted and read. After giving history of the
alleged wrongs of the South, the Governor
says:
LET the proposition be distinctly made to the
Notwithstanding States to remedy the wrongs 40
Tar as 1t may be in the power Of Congress to do So
by obtaining from California a concession of as
degrees 80 minutes, otherwise TO consent TO such
amendments of the Constitution a. shall hereafter
secure the rights of the slaveholding States from
miscon'truction and further aggressions; but. in
the event OF refusal TO do so, do not hesitate To
express my decided opinion that the only efIcctual
remedy to the evil, which must continue to grow
from year to year, is to be found in the prompt
and peaccable secession from the agQrcssin q
States"

most sincerely wish that IT was in my power to
attend that meeting. That great central c.sy Is
not only full OF the friends of the Constitution bet
full also OF recollections connected with il adoption
and other great events in history. In Philade-
phia the hrst Revolutionary Congress assembled; in
Philadelphia the Declaration Of Independence was
made; in Philadelphia the Constitution was framed,
and received the signatures Of Washington and
his associates And now, when there il a spirit
abroad evidently laboring to effect the separation
OF the Union and the subversion of the Constitu-
ton, Philadelphia of all places, seems the fttest
Tor the assembling together of the friends of that
Constitution and that Union, to pledge themselves
to one another, and to the country, to the last
tremity.
My public duties, gentlemen, require my imme-
date presence in Washington, and for that reason
and that alone, must deny myself the pleasure of
accepting your invitation.
