We have kept an eye on the proceedings OF
the legislature of this State, about which a
thousand and one contradictory telegraphic re.
ports have been circulated, but have not thought
it advisable to speculate on its probable action
The proposition having the most direct bear
ing on the late measures of Congress, was made
in the House on Saturday last. On that day
Mr.. AVER, of Barnwell, gave notice Of his in
tention to introduce bill calling the proposed
State Convention to take measures for the Sc
cession Of South Carolina from the Union
Mr.. OWEN, his colleague, thereupon offered q
resolution virtually opposing the call, and de-
claring the question of separate secession as
finally and conclusively settled by the recent
vote of the State. The resolution lays over for
future consideration and action.

Mr.. FOOTE urged the necessity of immediate
action on the resolution.
The CHAIR remarked that 1t could only be
read the third time now by unanimous consent.
Mr.. UNDERWOOD objected, and 30 the res

Mr.. FCOTE gave notice of resolution he
should introduce tomorrow, or some subsequent
day, recognising the compromise measures as a
final settlement Of the late disputes on the
slavery question

Mississippi Convention.

The Mississippian, of Nov. 2lst, makes the
following protest on behalf of the Southern
Rights party of that State, against the final ac-
ton of the Convention We will publish the
minority report tomorrow:
The CONVENTION editorial columns are
occupied this week with the proceedings of the
State Convention. The resolutions adopted by
that body are before the people. 1t is hardly
necessary to cay here, in dismissing the subject,
that they do not meet the views Of the State
Rights party. In determining to endure the
series of acts known as the Compromise meas
ures, we do not hold that the people decided
what they would or would not resist; nor did
they decide that when the Northern members of
the confederacy committed acts of aggressiona Of
a character to justify resistance on the part OF
the State her citizens would thereby become
rebels and traitors. The fourth resolution
though it does not distinctly repudiate in SC
many words that great attribute of sovereign
State, the right Of secession, Is evidently in
tended to convey the contrary doctrine; and il
it be true that the State occupies the relation Of
colony to the federal government, it follows
that when her citizens resist" that government
no matter how unjust or unconstitutional it.
acts are, they become rebels, and subject them
selves to the doom of traitors. If the States
are mere provinces of superior government
Washington and his compatriots of the revolu
ton fought in vain to throw off the yoke of CO
lonial oppression. and to obtain their recognitio
by the mother country as Independent STATE.
The resolution was not called for by the publ
voice of the State. An expression Of opinion
on the doctrine of secession was not authorized
by the law under which the Convention assem-
bled The denial of the right Of secession il
unsustained by the action of any other South
ern State, and was not implied in the determi
nation of Mississippi to acquiesce in the so-calloc
plan of adjustment.
The able report of the minority of the com
mittee of thirteen, will be read with interest
We may safely rest upon it the defence of the
position taken in the Convention by the State
Rights delegates, and of the views Of the party
they represented.
