WINNsBoRo', S. c., Nov. 2l, 1860.
There is no hope, my good friend, for the Union.
FOUR view would have suficed for time, if carried
out last year, but it is now too late send YOU an
abstract of my remarks, made on Monday, to my
constituents. You well know me to be among the
moderate men here. Perhaps after reading them
you " i'll be surprised TO learn, that my popularity
and position in the State, have undergone a tempo.
rary eclipse-because too moderated hope only
temporary. Quiet talk of IFS sort finds no favor
at the Capitol or at home.
We are hostile people, surely Instead of your
plan, to provide new guarantees, which mighthave
answered before, our only plan now is to have
these Northern people proter them, and come into
our Union, il at all, upon terms. If the border
States were firm as the cotton States, we could
command our own terms, without compromising
our institutions. These, though, are hasty views,
expressed to my good friend by his, sincerely, B.

MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR OF NORTH CaRoIIYA-HE
RECOMMENDS CONVENTION OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The message of the Governor II North Carolina
has been received. In this document the Governor
treats, first of the domestic concerns of bis State
its financial affairs, its public works. and its agri-
which appear to be in a lourishng condition He
then devotes large portion of his message to the
exciting political topics Of the day, commencing
thus:
81 would that could, consistently with due re-
gard to the public interests conclude this commu-
nication with reference simply to our domestic
affairs is impossible, however, to close the ewes
to the perilous condition of the Confederacy grow
ing out of the agitation that has for many years
been kept up against the institution of African sla-
very, as existing at the South.
''The Republic has at last fallen upon those evils
against which the Father of the Country so solemn
y warned us in his parting advice; it is distinctly
and widely divided by parties founded upon geo
graphical determinations
"The great body of the people of the Northern
and Southern States entertain Numerically oppo-
site opinions upon the subject of African slavery
the former that it is social and political evil and
SIM the latter that it is system of labor eminenty
well adapted to our climate and. SOIL right and
proper within itself, and so far from being a sin,
its establishment among is of the providen-
ces of God for civizing and Christianizng that be-
nghted race.
"Were these sentiments entertained as abstract
opinions merely, they would occasion but little dis
turbance to the Government. 1t is far otherwise,
however This sentiment, with the people of the
North has assumed the form of bold and aggres-
sive anaticsm that seeks the annihilation of sla-
very in the South at all hazards and regardless of
consequences. That such is its aim, the object and
the end of its daily and hourly labors can no long
er be the subject of doubt. lmpelled by this
spirit, the Northern States have violated our rights
to an extent that would scarcely have been borne
by any other people on earth"
The Governor then briefly recapitulates the of
fences of portion of the people of the North
their organization of anti-savery societies, their
obstructing the execution Of the Fugitive Slave
Law, and their recent election of President on
purely sectional ssue-and conc ludes with the fol-
lowing recommendation:
"ln view of the perilous condition the country,
it is, in my opinion, becoming and proper that we
| should have some consultation with those States
identified with us in interest and in the wrongs we
have suffered; and especially those lying immedi
ately adjacent to As any action of ours would
of necessity materially affect them it would be but
consistent with the amicable relations that have
ever existed between to invite them to q consul
tation upon question that deeply affects us all
| From calm and deliberate consideration of the
best mode of avoiding a common danger much good
| might result, and no evil could. In thus proceed
| ing we would show to the world disposition to
| exhaust every peaceable remedy for the solution
| of our difficulties, and firm determination to
maintain our rights, in the Union if possible, and
| out oft if necessary Such step, too, would be
| but becoming mark of respect to that cOnsidera-
| bic portion OF the people of the non-savehoding
States who have ever been disposed to acknowledge
us as equals in the Union, and who have on many
occasions gallanty struggled to secure consti-
| tutiOnal rights.
al therefore respectfully recommend that you
invite the Southern States to a conference, or such
of them may be inclined to enter into a consulta-
tion with US upon the present condition of the
| country. Should such conference be found i'm
! practicable, then | would recommend the sending
of one more delegates to our neighboring States
with the view of securing concert of action.
81 also think that the public safety requires a
recurrence to our own people for an expression OF
| their opinion. The will Of the people once ex.
pressed will be law of action with all, and secure
! that unanimty necessary in emergency like
| the present. | therefore recommend that con.
venOn of the people of the State be called to as
! sembe Immediately after the proposed consultation
with other Southern States shall have terminated
THE PROCLAMATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA.
The following is the proclamation of Gov. Moore
of louisiana convening an extraordinary session OF
the Legislature:
| EXECUTIVE OFFICE, BATON RoUGE.
! Whereas, the Constitution of the State of Loui
siana authorizes the Executive to convene the Gen
| eral Assembly thereof extraordinary occasions;
and whereas, the election of Abraham Lincoln to
the office of President of the United States bv a
sectional and aggressive anti.saverv party, whose
hostility to the people and the institutions of the
South has been evnced by repeated and long con.
tinued violations of constitutional obligations and
traternal amlty, now cOnsummated by this last in
suit and outrage perpetrated at and through the
ballotbOx does, in my opinion, as we'll as that of
large number of citizens of all parties and pursuits
| furnish occasion such as is contemplated by the
! Constitution; and whereas, some of our sister
States, aggrieved like ours, are preparing measures
for their future security, and for the safety of their
institutions and their people, and both patriotism
and the necessity OF selpreservation require to
