AN IMPORTANT HISTORICAL DISCLOSURE

The regular readers of this paper win doubtless
recollect that, in its discussion of the Evil of the
Day." in the early part of the last year, whilst
endeavoring to show the danger-which might be
apprehended, in case of general representation of
the Southern States in the first Nashville Conve,,-
tion, through some impulsive or hasly movement
of the instant formation of Southern Confederacy
we placed before them an anonymous Letter to us,
advising us to warn the North that Constitution
for such new Government to supersede the good
old United States, had been already prepared, and
was only waiting for an occasion to be presented
and put in action. For reasons of our own, we
placed confidence in that statement, though
anonymous.
Fortunately for The whole country, but especially
for the States of the South, the Nashville Conven-
ton proved to be an absolute failure. Before the
time proposed for sending Delegates to it, the Peo-
pie of the States of VIRGINIA and NORTH CARO-
LIMA, who had been counted upon as game already
bagged, showed that they were not only alive, but
wide awake to the enormity of the scheme. of dis
union into which they had like to have been en-
trapped; and the Stale of Louisiana, as well as
siC VCosCiA oousACiA oSdsCSs WOuiu udVc
to do with the plot. So that no opportunity was
afforded for bringing forward this Constitution of
the United States South, if such one had been
already prepared.
The present canvass in the State of Mississippi
has elected information that the existence in writ
ing of such prepared instrument of Disunion
was no false suggesion-no ingenious fable de-
signed to deceive, but actual fact susceptible of
proof!
From the Natchez Courier we learn that Gen.
FREEMAN and Senator FooTE addressed the people
Of Attala county, Mississippi, on the 2sth ultimo,
and that, in the course of his remarks, Senator
FooTE bore the following testimony to the views
and wishes Of Mr.. CALHOUN in relation to the
Southern Secession:
"He said that the idea of demanding amend
ments to the Constitution, and, in case of failing
: to obtain them, resorting to secession, was first
{ preached by Mr.. CALHOUN after our October Con-
vention in IS49; that Mr.. Calhoun told him that
he Mr.. c. had no expectation of obtaining these
amendments but Mr.. G. thought that if they
should be refused, why then the South would
unite in the formation of Southern Confederacy !;
: and that Mr.. CALHOUN had prepared Constitu-
: ton for this neU Republic which was to have
: been formed out Of one of the fragments of our
z present Union"

THE GOLD DISCOVERIES IN MAINE.

The Maine gold bubble appears to have burst
already, if we may credit the statements Of the
Maine papers. The Skowhegan Press, which is
published nearest the gold region, says:
generally known that gold had been discovered on
the Canada side of the line and that the mines are being
worked to less profit by the English Government
and permits to dig Issued to private individuals we
assured by gentleman just from there and recently from
the mines Of California, in whom place full confidence
that the greatest speculation being made there present

The Augusta Journal has also conversed With
several persons who have returned empty-handed

sultinp from partial consideration or has,y de-
termination but case stamped with final con-
I" sideration and deliberate adherence" These are
stated in the resolutions themselves, (of 1885,, not
as ustifabe grounds of dissolution Of the Union,
but as grounds of resistance of some unconstution
al act resistance not incompatible with the exist
ence and integrity Of the Constitution. No such
case. however, has yet occurred, and it is BY no
means certain that it ever will occur. 1.-THE fanatics
of the North should ever obtain the majority in
Congress- and should pass law abolishing slavery
in the United States, there can be no doubt that it
would be uetoed by the President, who is bound by
the Constitution (Art. Q, Sec. 81 and his oath to
take care that the laws be faithfully executed >;
and there is no probability that such an unconsu.
,ional law can be supported by two-thrds Of both
Houses Of Congress, or by the Supreme Court Of
the United States. South Carolina, therefore, has
no reasonable ground to apprehend the evils and in
iuries which she seems to fear, much less to make
her fears ground of complaint against the United
States; whereas the Constitution and Laws OF the
United States are the only barrier against the horde
of fanatics who are seeking to overrun the country.
What madness, therefore, is il to surrender that
barrier, in the hope Of forming new Government
strong enough TO put down these fanatics, control
the slaves, compete with the Government which
will remain as the Government Of the United States,
and maintain its own responsibility as one Of the
nations of the earth

lima no indemnify for the past nor security for the
