The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1859-11-17

The Mississippi Legislature met on the 18th inst
| Gov. McWilies message is largely devoted to fed
eral relations, which, he says care now or are ap
! parently about to become, of most alarming anC
! dangerous character" He reviews at length tn,
| present relation which the South holds to tn,
Union; assumes that it is the duty of Congress tC
protect slave property in the Territories; and after
enumerating, in anticipation the disastrous results
| to the South that would follow the election of {
| Republican President, he recommends the following
| measures for adoption, in such event lst The
| election OF delegates to a State Convention, who
| will assemble in December, 1850, to adopt sucl
measures as may meet the eXigency of the occasion
| ID The passage of a resolution, inviting the co
operation OF other Southern States, to take mea
sures to their rights as co-equal members Of
| the cOntederacy. The Governor suggests that
among the measures adopted, should be the duty
OF insisting upon ''new constitutional guarantee:
| for our protection
| The Hon. A. G. Brown, in accordance with the
invitation of the Legislature of Mississippi deliver
ed an address in the Hall of Representatives on the
| 9TH instant, to la &c and intelligent audience of
! ladies and gentlemen. The Eagle of the South
gives the following synopsis of Gov Browns speech
! on the occasion:
| He handled the Northern and Southern question
| in clear and bold manner. He did not speak to
men who were willing to sink the Constitution and
the rights of the South to gain triumph over the
Democracy; he spoke to Southern patrots-men of
all parties, who could forget party names for love
OF country; still he regarded the Democratic party
as the only party which presented the ghost of a
chance to save the country. He argued that as we
paid our taxes, fought countrys battles to sus
tam the government, the government was bound to
give protection to life, liberty, and property; but
If the government turns against us, he would tear
down it colossal pillars and scatter them to the
winds of heaven.
He said there three classes or parties at the
North. Mr.. Seward and his followers assert that
Congress can exclude us from the Territories: the
second class is Mr. Douglas and his followers who
admit our equality, but assert that the people of
the territories may, by nOn-action unfriendly
legislation, drive us out. The third class not ONLY
admit equality and RIGHT of protection Int
give courts, without laws for the remedy of our
WRONGS meatless bone. To this class belong the
President, portion of his Cabinet and his North
ern supporters.
Governor Brown abhors Douglas souatter soy
eregntv, detests the good Lord, good-devil policy
OF the Presidents organ, and is not satisfied with
"Black's Observations" and he looks with anxiety
and some fears for Buchanans expose at the opening
of Congress
He advised the Democratic party in Mississippi
to send their best men to Charleston, who would
insist upon clear recognition of all our rights
He would not be satisfied with the Cincinnati plat
form-lt has two faces; he wanted platform
granting Congressional protection to slavery in
the Territores-he would be satisfied with nothing
less And if it was refused, break up the Charles
ton convention and the national Democratic party
of the land.
The Boston Post considers it ST gnifcant and
cheering fact that there are now ONE ffty-four
Democratic members of the Massachusetts House of
Representatives, where few years since there was
but solitary one. 1t thinks the Democrats in
that State have cause for encouragement.
The Day ton Journal gives an authoritative de-
NAL to the statement that Gov. Corwin will not be
a candidate for the Speakership of the House of
Representatives. 1t says that Mr.. Corwin desires
it to be understood that he is candidate, and that
bis name will be presented to thu House.
