the Constitution Of the Unied States was franz
ed and adopted in thespritpf compromise. and
that it must be faithfully maintained in the same
spirit. They are attached to the Union; they
cherish an ardent devotion 70 it; and desire to
see it preserved By manifestations of mutual de-
ference and regard between tie States compos-
ing it.
"AlthougIl New York might maintain a re-
spectacle attitude before theworld, and would
not fail to preserve her liberies as an indepen-
dent State. she would regarda dissolution Of the
Union from any cause as tie greatest calamity
which could befal mankind. Whenever the
American Union is DESTROYED the cause of cons
stituhona government will be periled by the
shock, and the friends Of liberty every where
will mourn over tie fall of a mighty fabric
which now animates the hopes and commands
the admiration oftbe world. lEvsry patriot must
desire that all causes 9 irritation, of disagree
ment between the ddferentpar.s of our common
country may speedily disappear. 1t should be
the aim Of all to allay sectional animosities, and
to restore these kindly sediments which united
our ancestors tonoble efats and common trial. !"
The Governor then proceeds TO speak of the
fugitive slave law, whi;h he thinks ought to be
modified in some ofits povisions, but, SO long as
it remains law, he sas it is the plain duty of
every good citizen tosustain the authorities
charged vithits execubn.

parts OF the constitution taken up. He declared that
warm advocate as he had been Of the suffrage basis he
would not vote Tor it unless certain guarantees should
De agreed upon. He expressed his full confidence in
the morality OF Western gentlemen on this subject and
informed Eastern gentlemen that he would be fay as
strenuous as they Tor all proper limitations for the pro-
tecuon OF property. AT the proper moment he would
move to take order that the Legislative Department

Mr. SUMMERS would give his friend a copv.
W.T. LYONS wished to compare the competing pictures

The Convention refused TO order and to be prin.
Mr.. WISE moved that an order be adopted that the
committee OF the whole take up the Legislative Depart
ment, and proceed with it.
Mr.. SUMMERS objected 10 putting the basis question
behind all others, and thought it would prevent them
from completing their labours before the goth of June
which ne hoped might be done, if they would work
diligently He argued that the basis question ought
first TO be settled and was for giving fair consideration
| to amendments of all kinds.
Mr. WISE and Mr.. SUMMERS had some discussion
ana the former agreed to modify his motion SO that the
Convention should go into committee Tuesday at eleven
ociocK, on the Legislative Department
Mr. LUCAS had much interest in obtaining puaran-
ties as any other member, but he fixed in the deter
mnatlon to see the basis question settled first before
| going 10 other subjects. He acouiesced however in
the modification of Mr.. Wise.

pile on which the basis question settled, before he
would agree to take up other subjects.
Mr. CLAIBORNE considered the principle of the Com
promise unaeraby and irrevocaby settled 1; was the
only proposition that had met the appreciation of the
Convention. The only guaranty he wanted was in the
patriotism and honesty Of the people, But az to i'm.

THE TIMES, TERMS.
THE BAsIS--ANOTHER STEP.

The Compromise proposition, as it is called
was pushed through the committee of the whole
Ion Saturday without any serious opposition from
the Eastern members, who were conscious of
their inability TO change the course determined
upon by the majority. It's friends insisted on
reporting it unaltered TO the Convention, avowing
that they would give every opportunity for
amendment. If this understanding is to be ad-
hered to in good faith, as we make no doubt it
will be, we can conceive no reason why it should
be desired to get the proposition hastily out of
the committee of the WHOLE which is certainly the
most proper place for the consideration of amend
ments. Mr.. Bocock presented one, which, in
no respect alters the principle of the plan, but is
yet OF some importan regards its ultimate
operation. Instead of prescribing the questions
to be submitted 10 the people after the year 1865,
this proposition directs that the two Houses shall
submit their competing plans OF reapportion-
ment; and it seems TO be but paying proper re-
gard 10 the possibility of material changes in
public opinion, after the lapse of so many years,
to allow the immediate representatives of the
people to Judge what the circumstances of the
Time may demand.
After the Compromise was before the Conven-
ton, MIR. Wise made an effort to postpone the
whole subject of the basis of representation until
other parts of the Constitution should have been
acted upon. But Mr.. Summers and other West
ern members stoutly opposed any arrangement that
did not look to the preliminary settlement of the
basis question; and Mr. Wise was constrained to
yield so far as to make the Legislative Depart
inent the order in committee tomorrow at eleven
o'clock. This day, therefore, and two hours every
morning hereafter, will probably be occupied with
the basis of representation, until the subject is
finally disposed OF. Under therules, the previous
question may be applied in Convention at any
tine, but this would be violation of the UNDER
standing adopted on Saturday

Mr.. RuETT AND HIS eELLIGERANcv

Mr.. REETT AND HIS GELLiGERANCy. IL
Since our publication of yesterday we have for the
first time seen the propositions brought forth by Mr.
Rhett in the late South Carolina State Rights Conyen
tion They were follows: ia 81 slals st.7
l. Resolved, That, in the opinion of this Conven-
ton, the institutions of South Carolina are no lopee,
safe under the Constitution, nor 10 the Union
9 Resolved, That the concert of the Southern States
IN any systematic and decisive resistance to the mower
Of the General Government has been hitherto sought in
vain
g. Resolved, That the only effective call upon the
South must be by the appeal of practical issue
4. Resolved, That the committee to whom these re-
solutions referred be instructed the name of the
Convention, to memorialize the Legislature of The
State the State Convention at the earest
period practicable after the LIST OF February 1852 for
the purpose OF declaring South Carolina independent
State.
To the lengths proposed by these Resolutions even
this Convention oil Anti Unionists was not prepared
10 60 and would not 60.
10 eonnexlon with these direct propositions may be
added The following extract from speech delivered
by Mr.. Rhett in Charleston some weeks 400 shou,;no
