PRESIDENT JACKSON on SECEssIoN.-The fol-
lowing is an extract from General Jackson's
Proclamation in 1882, the Nulliters and Sc
cessionis,s ofScuth Carolina. After enumer-
atiug the blessings of the Union he says:
And for what, mistaken men for what
do you throw away these inestinable bless
iugs-for what would you exchange your
share in the advantages and honor of the
UuionY For the dream of separate indie
pendence--a dream interrupted by bloody
conflicts with your neighbors, and vile de-
pendence on foreign power If your lead
ers could succeed in establishing a separatio
what would be your situation? Are YOU
united at home? Are you free from the ap-
prehenson of civil discord, with all its fear
full consequences Do our neighboring Re-
publics, every day suffering some new revo-
luton, or contending with some new insur.
rection-do they excite your envy? But the
dictates of high duty oblige me solemny to
announce that you cannot succeed The
laws of the United States must be executed.
have no discretionary power on the subject;
my duty is emphatically pronounced in the
Constitution. Those who told you that YOU
might peaceably prevent their execution de-
ceiyed YOU they could not have been de-
ceiyed themselves. They know that forci-
bic opposition could alone prevent the exc
cuton of the laws, and they know that such
opposition must be repeled. Their object is
disuuion; but be not deceived by names /;
disunion 10y armed force is treason. Are
you really ready to incur its guilt? If you
are, on the heads Of the instigators Of the act
be the dreadful consequences; on their heads
| be the dishonor, but on yours may fall the
punishment; on your unhappy state will
inevitably fall all the evils of the conflict you
force upon the Government of your country.
1t cannot nccede to the mad project Of dis
union, of which you would be the first vic
Tins Its first magistrate cannot, if he would,
avoid the performance Of his duty. The CON
sequence must be fearful for you, distressing
to your fellow-citizeus here, and to the
friends Of good government throughout the

SENATOR CLINGMAN-NoRTu CAROLINA ON
SEcEssloN,-The ST. Louis correspondent of
the Bulletin writing November 30th says
Senator Clingman, of North Carolina, contra
ry to general expectation, has been nomina-
ted in II caucus of members of the Legisla-
ture Of that State for reelection to the Uni
ted States Senate He was oaiginally a semi
Douglas man, but came out for Breckinridge
soon after the nomination of the later. A
resolution has passed the Legislature to post
pone the election of Senator, in view of the
present troubles in the South, and it is unde-
cidedwhen the subject will come up. Cling
mans nomination has a conservative mean
ing, as he stands unconvicted of disuuionism
in any form. The State is believed to be as
sound on the Union question as those on the
border. In the late message of the Govern
or, nothing more terrible than the following
passage occurs: "But should the incoming
Administration be guilty of the folly of
drawing the sword against any Southern
State who may choose TO seek that protee-
ton out of the Union which is denied in it..
then we of North Carolina would owe it to
ourselves to resist it TO the last extremity

ObituarY-Dcath Of Slr,yvm. Napier.


The great historian Of tho memorable PENN
sular war died On Sunday, the 1s,h of February,
in the 94th rear Of his age. Whatever honors
attach to his career as soldier, he has eclipsed
them all By his iabors in the study. and their
results in bringing him befoh the world as an
author. The fearlessuess Will. which he
handled his grent subject, the consequent bitter
controversy engendered, and the tact Of lis
great aneesszy, must servo to identify him with
the military tlories Of England, and force re.
mcmbrance If him upon coming generations Of
his countrrr1en.
Sir William Napier was born in Castietown.
ireland, l7s. He entered the army when but
fourteen years ofage, and during his long, mill
tary career served at the sisge Of Copenhagen,
and in the battles Of Salamanca, Seville and
Nice After passing through various grades,
he was. in 1851, advanced to the rank Of Lieu
enant-Generai. During the intervals Of militia
r. duties he occupied himself in writing the his
tory Of the various wars in which he had been
engaged- Among bis works mar 10 mentioned
Of Sir CHARLES Napier" aud several works Of
fic!ion. Ills chief fame rests, however, on his
six-yolume History Of the War in the Fepipsu-
Ia aud the Ssuth Of France, from 1907 to 1614."
It's pnbtloat1su, which was commenced in 1895,

because Of tie favor with which it treated Of Sa

the brilliant ability Of the author was not deni-
ed. Duringsho latter part Of his life Sir vii
liam Napier was devoted to bis brother. Sir
Charles Na3ier. lie defended Sir Charles in
everything, and recorded in glowing terms his
PUBLIC aud ,ficial acts; nor did this singular
manifestation of fratefnal regard cease when it's
subject died, for Sir William, after his brothers
death, defended his memory during the Indian
debates with as much ardor as when he chsoni-
eled the brilliant exploits Of the conqueror Of
Scindc. TIE 1oudun 7in<s closes eulogy Of
the deceased in the following terms:
t'Thc image which will remain impressed upon
the memory of the English public is that Of a
noble soldier who did his duty in one of Eng
lands greatest wars, aud who afterwards re-
Doubled this service By raising for his country
an imapenshabic monument Of the glory she had
acquired"
