Wig G0eeyH0r way d9wn SO4M.--The
Tallahassee Sentinel publishes a cores
p0ndpnce between the Senators and Rep
resentaIiye in Congress from Fkrida
Messrs. Yulee Morton & CaheIl ,aud the
Governor Of tho State, Mr. Brown. The
Joint letter uf the former is dated the 9Th
Of February and the reply of the latter
ou the 22d-.a very good day for such n
deed. Governor Browns letter puts us
in mind of one from Governor Curwin q
few years since TO the Democratic mem.
bers Of the Ohio Legislature. The cor.
respoudeuce is very interesting and we
give synopsis Of it:
The first calls upon the Executive {,
devise mode of proceeding by whicl
tho will the commonwealth can be car
ried out, as il was expressed in series
of resolutions alleged to have been unan
imDusly "enacred" by the General AS
semblyofIhe State at its last session. con
templaling the appointment Of delegates
to tho Nashville Convention. 1t expires
ses, moreover, tho opinion Of the writers
iha, no ellectual or enduring check upnr
the aggressive government can or will
be applied by any of the departments
which administer its power"
The reply of Governor Browns calm
quiet and argumentive. 1t ignores the
existence Of any power or authority il
tho writer as tho chief magistrate tu taxi
any official step To cause the appoint
ment ofdelegales 10 The proposed Nash
vile Convention. 1t condemns the con
venlion as revolutionary in its tendency
and against tho spirit if not the letter u
the constitution; and it inlmales that, il
the Federal Government is of tho fashiDI
that his correspondents seem 10 think
there is not much wisdom or consistency
in seeking to save it by means %
Southern convention. 1t concludes
with an admonilion to his correspondents
that, when they have discharged tEei
; whole duty IN resisting unconslltutiona
Oggressions within their spheres as Sen
tors and Representative, then they c,r
return to their constituents with ellen
conscience assured that the honor, libeI
ty and welfare Of tho State have bee
properly defended, aud leave to the pee
Pile aud to the State Legislatures of III
South, under God, to devise the righlfu
remedy,
