Hon. Howell CoBB IN SAvANNAH.-Ths distin.
guished gentleman delivered speech in Savan-
nah on the the l4th ult., the Republican says, be-
fore one of the most intelligent, well as largest
audiences ever seen in that city. The Republ-
can gives quite a lengthy report of the speech,
and pronounces 1t a powerful vndcatIon OF the
action of Congress in the passage of the COmpro-
mise laws. We give a short extract:
Having been introduced by DIR. Arnold in few
appropriate remarks, Mr.. Cobb proceeded, in the
first place, TO review in general way the mea-
sures embraced in the Compromise. 1t had been
charged, he said, that the Compromise was an
aggression by the North upon the Constitutional
rights of the South. This he denied most en-
phatically. The position of the South, SO far as
her constitutional rights were concerned, was
better than it had been for the last quarter OF
a century. While he could not have approved OF
some parts of it singly, yet as aDhole, as COM
promise OF conflicting views, he considered it wise,
liberal and just to all parts ofthe country 1t was
not aggressive upon our rights. 1t violated no
provision of the Cons, lit ution; and il iD way
affected njuriously the honor OF interests of the
South. Men should not expect--that ali their
wishes should be carried out in compromise
where the most conflicting sentiments and obdu-
rate prejudices to be settled. 1t is not right
to yield nothing, and yet to exact everything
Such was not the policy Of our fathers. The
Federal Government, he contended, Was cont
promise-the Constitution was a compromise--the
Union was compromise. Compromise was writ
ten upon eveIythng--it was seen everywhere, in
society, in government and in all the varied and
wide spread ramiiications OF life. 1t was upon
this just and universal principle that the action OF
the Government had been predicated; and it was
upon this that he stood there to defend and sup
port that action. When men had arrived at that
point where they were unwilling TO concede any
thing to the views and sentiments vi others, there
could be no further government. Anarchy and
misrule must take the place of law and order, and
society be resolved in:o its original elements.

Convention of the State of South Carolina, being

ton by the following Ordinance:
AN ORDINANCE.

recently passed. has provided for such reduction and mod
hcation OF the duties upon foreign imports will ultimately
reduce them to the revenue Standard and provides that
more revenue snail Dc raised than be necessary desy

Of the Congress OF the United States puporng be laws
laying duties the importation Of foreign commodities
and all acts passed BY the General Assembly Of this State

further alter and amend the militia laws Of this State"
passed by the General Assembly of this State the goth
day of December, 1882 shall remain in force until shall
be repealed or modified by the Legislature.
Done Columbia the 18th day of March, in the year Of
our Lord 1888, and in the fifty seventh year of the
sovereignty and Independence of the United States Of
America. ROBERT Y. HAYNE,
President Of the Convention.
Isaac w. HArSR, Clerk.
Three days after passing this Ordinance, the same
Convention passed another, by the title of "An Or
dinance to nulify an act of the Congress of the
United States entitled An act to provide for the
collection of duties on Imports commonly called
the Force Bill"
Upon this pair Of Ordinances the remark is al
most too obvious TO be made, that the first of them
does not even pretend that Congress had relin-
pushed the claim Of power to lay duties for the
protection of home industry well for revenue,
which the main allegation against the action OF
Congress by the Ordinance of Notification; and
that the second of them, being passed after the
original Ordinance had been revoked, and had left
nothing for the Force Bill to act upon, amount
ed to just nothing at all.
Our younger friends will, from this brief history
of Notification, learn that the late call of Southern
Congress is not the first time that South Carolina
has attempted to secede from the Union; and that
it's not upon any ground then taken by that State
that she nosc calls upon other Southern States to
range themselves under the banner Of Dsunion,
which she has thrown 10 the breeze.
Having passed, Point Notification, we must call
a halt for the present. In another days journey
we shall complete our review Of" The Past"

New METHOD OF MAKING CoARsE SALT.--Mr. SAMUEL
B. HowAnD, of Syracuse New York, has invented new
process much superior any heretofore known manuac
turing coarse salt. 1t is thus described in the Albany
Journal: al.& a..a
"The brine is conducted into back kettles of the arc
where many Of its impurities settle, and from thence into
mammoth kettle, directly the fire. where attans to
nearly three hundred degrees heat when the balance of inn
putes including the me are thrown down. and the brine
at saturaton cast into vas through which iron pipes
conducting the refuse Here the salt crystazes and
settles to the bottom. The citizens of Syracuse have much
faith in the success Of this method in manufacturing sa
which, realized, will give great impetus to that branch Of

MASSACHUSETTS,.

Mr.. boutwell,, the new Democratic Governor
of Massachusetts,, communicated his first Message
to the Legislature on Thursday last. In relation
to the Fugitive Slave Law the Governor maintains,
as we learn through Telegraphic report
"That the constitutional provision for the deliv-.
cry of fugitives from labor was in the nature of
treaty between sovereign States, and for its fulfil
ment the General Government was clothed with
sufficient authority. The manner of delivery has
been left to Congress, and its acts are binding upon
every State, and each citizen, unless the judicial
tribunal shall declare them to be unconstitutional
A law thus passed may be, in the opinion of
State or individual, unjust, nexpedent, or uncon-
stitutional; yet this opinion furnishes no excuse
for illegally nufyng its power, or resisting its exc
cution. The only remedy for its injustice or mex
pediency must be sought in the National Legislature,
and for its unconstitutonality in the Judicial de-
| partment of the Government; and until there can
be successful appeal to or the other no citi-
zen interfere with the due execution of the law
"The Governor does not, therefore, advise the
passage of any measure calculated TO increase the
excitement which unhappiy exists. He thinks that
properly regard the rights of the alleged fugitive or
the sentiments of the community in which the law
is to be executed but adds that the evils which we
suffer in the Union not to be compared with
that general ruin which will inevitably result from
its dissolution. He invokes his fellow-citizens to
exhibit liberal spirit Of patriotism and justice, that
they may expect similar manifestation by other
States, and concludes by saying In the conscious
ness of strength, let be just, and faithfully per-
form the duties our fathers assumed for themselves
and for u.s.
The Legislature has not yet succeeded in elect
ing United States Senator. The last ballot of
which we have any account resulted thus: For
