The assumption of Free-so tone by the
Wing party will drive the Democratic party in
an opposite direction, and it will be compelled to
re-adjust the compromise, or fail Hence there
was force in the suggestion of Mr.. CHEyEs to
the Charleston Convention--that the Demo
cratic party might yet, as in '9S, save the Con
sttution And, in such a struggle, 1T might get
all the Southern States, and few of the
Northern
Among the indications, we are gratiiied to
learn that the spirit of the Virginia people IS
high above he position assumed at the late SEES
sion of the legislature. Every where the oppo-
nents of the compromise are re-nominated for
Congress, and the prospect is that all will be
reelected.
Let then, every friend of Southern rights
stand fast to his faith and to his integrity, and
the South may yet be redeemed. But let no
coalition be formed with any party on the basis
of surrendering the simple justice for which we
have been contending.
If the Wings Of Kentuckywill notsupport Gen.
ScoTT unpledged, none of the Southern Wings
will. And we doubt whether the Southern Wings
will have influence enough in the North to over
come the combined tendencies in that section to
Abolition, military popularity, and political
power, which would all be INDUCED by making
Gen ScorT a candidate. We should, therefore,
not be surprised that the Southern Wings, on
rejecting upon the consequences of his cleo
ton, should come over to the Southern rights
party, whilst the Southern compromise demo-
Gratis may be embarrassed by the desire to pre-
serve Northern connection, and fail both the
North and South.

convention then adjourned until 10 o'clock to-
morrow morning.
The following resolutions were submitted by
Mr. FIcELIN in behalf Of the Southern Rights
Association of St Lukes, on Tuesday, but were
omitted in our report of the proceedings:
l. Resolped That the right of secession is one
of the sovereign rights of the States composing
the confederacy of States, known as the United
States of America, to be exercised by any State
at its discretion.
.. Resolred, That a crisis has arrived which
imperatively demands the exercise of that right
by the State of South Carolina.
g. Resolced, ThatA postponing the exercise
Of this, even for limited period, this State is
actuated by spirit of Cancellation, and desire
to afford to the other Southern States an oppor-
tunity for cooperation.
4. Resolued, That so soon as il shall appear
that there is no reasonable hope of corporation
on the part Of any other Southern State, the in
terests and the honor of South Carolina i'm.
peratively demand that she shall forthwith pro-
coed to withdraw herself from the Union.

Run ON the Rank Of England.

1t appears that when the Arctic sailed, a run
on the Bank of England had been going on for
as trade had been prosperous, and the exports
of England enormous, and large number Of
visitors to the Worlds Fair had arrived, and
must have brought large amount of money,
imputing it to the alarm created by the gather
ing of so many people in London suspected of
revolutionary designs
By the pre- yous steamer, we had information
that 100000 persons had taken passports in
France for London. If that is true, it BODIES no

JACKSON, I9h March. 1851.
GEN. JSo. A. QUITMAN-

GEN. JHo. A. QUITMAN-
DEAR SIR: Your felow-citizens of the State
of Mississippi have witnessed, with sincere nd
mration, your chlvarous and patriotic defence,
not only Of the RIGHTS of our common country
upon the battle field, but the rights Of the South
against the assaults of its enemies, both at home
and sbroad-whose success in their efforts to
PROSTATE the constitutional rights of the South
was to be deplored almost as much as the sue
cess of foreign foe And for this, you have
been DETAINED and prosecuted; driven to the ne
cessity of either resigning the high trust com
mitted to your keeping by the people of the
State, or of having that State degraded by sub
hitting its chief executive officer to be carried
away as captive, to be tried by foreign tri-
bunal--and we have witnessed, with delight and
gratitude, your triumphant acquittal, by the adj
mission of your enemies that they had no proof
TO sustain their accusations, evidently gotten
up for sectional and party purposes.)
These things, sir, have bad tendency to en-
dear you still more to the people of your own
State, with whom you are most familiar, and
who best know how to appreciate you. And as
token of respect for your services as asoldier
for your able efforts "a n patriot in behalf of
Southern rights, and their high appreciation Of
your character rs a citizen, they have, Gas you
will perceive by the enclosed resolutions,) de-
termined to give you barbecue at the seat of
government, at such time rs may suit your con
venience to attend, and have appointed us a
committee to invite you to honor the festival
with your presence.
In the performance of this duty, we respect
fully request that you will designate an early
day when you can attend and receive the con
gratulations of your fellow citizens.
We have the honor to be, very respectfully,
your obedient servants,

assembled IN convention, declared that the time
had come when the Southern States should take
counsel together, and devise and adopt some
mode of resistance TO these aggressons and re-
solved that they, representing the feelings and
opinions of the people Of Mississippi would not
submit to an exclusion from the public domain,
nor to any act which would impair the equality
OF the States To the substance of these re-
solutions, which appeared at that time to meet
with general appreciation, trust and hope the
people of Mississippi will adhere, regardless of
the senseess cry of disunion."
The political equality Of the States is the vital
principle Of the Constitution. Upon its strict
maintenance depend our liberties. We are not
permitted to surrender il, even to purchase tenn
porary peace for ourselves. II is a sacred in
heritance bequeathed by our sres, which it is
our duty to transmit, unimpaired, to our chill
dren. IL assailed we must defend it, even
though the Union perish in the contest. But
firmly and infexiby to insist upon all orr con
stitutional rights, and maintain them at all haz-
ards, is the only mode of preserving the Union
of the Constitution All that we ask, is justice
and equal rights II the measures complained
of are just and proper, we should submit TO
them without complaint IL not, and our con
stitutiona rights be violated, or orr equality IN
the Union be denied, we should insist upon them
with confidence, and without fear of conse
quences. Those who counsel acquescence and
submission to sovereign Stotes, must defend the
measures complained of as right, proper, and
constitutional A free people, jealous of their
liberties, will not listen to those who advise sub
mission to wrong and oppression. Humility
and meekness are sometimes virtues in ndivid-
uals, but they are faults If not crimes, in States.
