Effect of Modification.

While the Governor and Legislature Of South
Carolina have seriously proposed Nuihheation and
Secession, il would be well for them to look into
some Of the first pages of the history of coun-
try, and see what actual duties devolve on the
President, when they commence carrying their
threats into execution. We have no doubt Pres-
dent FILLMORE, the tit and the ability to
perform his duty, however unpleasant it might he.
He will show them that secession was never con-
trmp,ated in any contingency and that it canno, be
found in the bond. He Will do just as Gen. WASH
rxs1os did during the days Of Notification in
Pennsylvania. We herewith subjoin . shoit ali

MEssns Ep, TORS: I was present at a meeting of
the youn. men Of Burlington on Saturday evening,
last. and on account Of the call being for the young
men to express attachment to the Union, took an
interest in finding out the opinions OF the young
men Of the city; we had had. few days before,
full exptc ssion from the sold Ones, III the mass
meeting of the l4th. The young men assembled,
and in the crowd could he seen many who had spo-
ken against the Efforts Of the young men, and sever
al officers OF the Union Meeting Of the 9TH. This,
at the time, looked upon as compliment TO the
y Jung men, and was glad to thins they were TO
have thu advice, aid and comfort of those who Id
hefuI been parties to a meeting OF the same char
acter; but, was disappointed AMI looked np'n the
proceedings OF the legitimate Union Meeting hold
crs as an insult to the young men, They acted as
il fearful that the young mems mass meeting was
t. lie .treasnn breeder'' or else that pouid steal
their thunder! One OF the Secretaries If the mon
ster denomination was there aid appeared TO act
upon the principle that the young men were not
capable Of holding meeting without hsassis'ance!
His Efforts were all made tn produce Confusion and
prevent the final passage Of the resolutions. His
little circular head was racked to find some excuse
tn break up the meet ting in row, hut he had not
the auiacity to come ont sufficiently srcns 10 do

Of the City Beer Barrel, whilhome tale sman Vice

so much in reference to his party predictions as

Of being elected. is the notorious John d. Weller,
formerly Of Ohio. Ne says further that there is
decided majority Of "ultra Southern men'' in the
Legislature, and the locos have already begun TO
sing the lullaby Of no party, no party.
What is still more alarming, he declares that
there is "strong probability that the Legislature
will enact law calling new Convention for the

Fearful Mob In Peoria.

One Of the most disgrace ul mobs that has ever
been witnessed, occurred in Peoria on Friday last
It is known that two young men, 10th under
twenty years Of age, were recently tried ana 'oun'
guilty Of murder, in the vicinity Of Peoria. II APP

guilty, made his escape. The young men we've
sentenced to he hung. by q concert Of action
large mob gathered in town On Friday last. Inc
son Of the murdered man was there, and not heing
willing to let the law take its course, he is said to
have declared that he would not leave the ground
until the murderers were hung. The mob made an
onslaught on the Jail. The jailor saw that he was
overpowered. He real the riot act and informed
the assaiants ofthe consequences OF their conduct
Many OF the mob had spent the night in rioting an1
drunkenness. Flushed with liquor, they rushed
into the Jail aud first possessed themselves of the
gallows. The jailer saw that resistance was vain.
He unlocked the letters o! the prisoners, and told
them they must defend themselves. In this situa-
ton the youngest prisoner was dragged out. lie
told the mob that he was unprcpared to die, and
begged for mercy. In the meantime others OF the
mob had rushed in to take the other. He had so
fixed his chains and letters as I" turn them into a
complete weapon Of defence. The first Of the mob
that to take him he laid low, by striking
him a death dealing blow On the head. He served
another and another and another in the same way,
until the mob, seeing their conn AIDES all covered
with blood they were dragged out, declared tina:

an the morrow. The probability is that they did
not come back.
these rioters, we have not yet learned. Many ol
them are known. and should be dealt with accord.

four wounded ones still remained in Peoria .; last
dates. We suppose lawyers enough will be found
to try and make it appear that these mobites are
innocent.
