10 November instant, and have considered Il
nv duty, under the authority conferred upon
me to convene the Legislature on extraordinary
occasions, to convene you, that you may on to-
morrow appoint the number of Electors OF
President and Vice President to which this
State is entitled.
Under ordinary circumstances, yourduty could
be soon discharged, by the election Of Electors,
representing the choice of the people Of the
State; but in view of the threatening aspect OF
affairs, and the strong probability of the cleo
ton to the Presidency of a sectional candidate,
by a party committed to the support of measures
which, if carried out, will inevitably destroy our
equality in the Union, and ultimately reduce
the Southern States to mere provinces OF q con.
solidated despotism, to be governed by q fixed
majority in Congress, hostile TO our institutions,
and fatally bent upon our ruin, I would respect
fully suggest that the Legislature remain 10
session. and take such action as will prepare the
State for any emergency that may arise.
That m expression of the will of the people
NAV be obtained on O question involving such
momentous consequences, I would earnestly re
commend, that in the event of the election Of
Abraham Lincoln to the Presidency, a ConVen'
ton of the people of this State be Immediately
called, to consider and determine "the mode
and measures of redress"
My own opinions of what the Convention
should do are Of little moment; but believing
that the time has arrived when every one, how
ever humble be may be, should express bis
opinions in unmistakeable language, l am con
strained to say, that the only alternative left, IN
my judgment, is the secession Of South Carolina
from the Federal Union. The indications from
many of the Southern States justify the conclu
sion that the secession of South Carolina will be
Immediately followed, if not adopted simultsne'
ously by them, and ultimately by the entire
South. The long desired cooperation of the
other States, having similar institutions, for
which the State has been waiting, seems to be
near at hand, and, if we are true to ourselves,
will soon be realized. The State has, with great
unanimity, declared that she has the right peace,
ably to secede, and no power on earth can right.

WHEELING, Nov. 9th, 1860.
Messrs. Editors IL think the REBUILT
cans of the First Ward district deserve n
passing notice. Our brethren in other dis
tricts had striking proof of the vindictive
intolerance manifested toward us, by tho
shower of brick-bats and stones! hurled
with murderous intent at their devoted
heads, while passing along our streets in.
procession. The, r"tfians, concealed in
oy-ways and dark alleys, urged on or
conntenanced and winked ut by those
claiming responsibility, enacted the viii
famous part of highwaymen without their
true courage.
In the midst of this kind Of on
position, we have increased our vote
from :. one, solitary and alone, four years
aso, 70 htty-slx,a vote which in fouryears
more would give US 4l36. We intend to
go on and work up all the remnants that
are not too crooked. But as the late cleo
ton Tor shows only 495 votes, we shall prob
ably fail to continue the same rate Of in
crease for want of material,

ThnRIrat Ward.

One of our good Republicans reminds
us and our readers that the First Ward
comes in for fair share of the glory of
the Republican vote in the city on Tues
day last. And so it does, indeed; and in
not specially commenting on it, We meant
no slight in the world to the glorious
First, but were simply under the misappre-
hension that more votes out pftbe city were
the. they have come up to victory, like
Daniel through the den oflious,' and if
their vote is not SO large as some of the
other wards, itshows heavier per cent of
gain than any other locality in the city
is over Eve thousand per cent, and that
sizes the pile of everybody.

The Rntionaie OF SsceseIon.


The readers of the Intelligencer will bear
us witness that we have never either is-
nored nor lightly disparaged the secession
movement in one or two of the Southern
States. Whatever may have been our
opinion of the purblind craftsmanship, or
leadership rather, that agitated aud in
famed the movement, we have at all
times recognized the vital existence of it.
We knO.o that there are many disuutonists,
per Sc, in the South, because, in our
travels in the South, we have met and
talked with, and practically, we may say,
cognizanced such a sentiment. To be
aware of such a sentiment, however; to
know of a truth that it seriously and me-
nacingly exists, does not alter our opinion
of it, as it has not deferred US from our
opposition to either its demands or its
purposes. To know that South Carolina
really means disunion, does not alter our
opinion of the general status of the slave
rY question. How could it? And whv
should it? Is the institution any the less
an evil in that it furnishes SO much cause
for national anxiety? Is it less import
ant that it should be restrained in its
spread, in that it entails so much jealousy
and selfish distraction on the part of the
States where it most abundantly exists /?
Assuredly not. Exactly the contrary is
the case. Just in proportion as the feel
ing of secession is fanatically sincere, Just
in that proportion, in our opinion, do the
reasons grow, why we should have as lit
tie of such sensitive, inflammatorv, ZEAL
Gus and selfish element among US, as pos.
sIble. Just look at the case, for in
stance, in comparative aspect. The
State of Pennsylvania complains gre
viOusIy of this government, and she pre-
sents, too, a fairshowing for her complaints,
She complains that her interests have
been seriously invaded by the Tariff policy,
which has obtained under the last two
ADMINISTRATIONS. For that policy the
State Of South Carolina is, to say the
least, in no au1all degree responsible. She
hashad the ear Of legislative and execu..
tive favor, and her power has exercised
almost, if not altogether, an equipoise
againstthe oft-repeated petitions of Penn
sylVania. Has Pennsylvania, for this rea-
son. threatened the integrity of the Gov

what contrast her case presents She
has not suffered from an apprebonded in

Editors Intettigencer :-On Saturday af-
ternoon, the Republicans of 0ccoquun
were addressed by Sir. Gartrell, of Fairfax
county, in speech of some three hours in
length, which was received by the Repnb-
licans with great applause.
The Republican tickets, 100 in number,
and also the documents sent by express to
Occoquan, have never been received; but
succeeded, in getting n lot of tickets
from Washington City in time. It's with
a great deal of difficulty that the Republic
caus here cnn get anything such aspub-
lie documents. l am in hopes that the
day is not far distant, when OLD Abe will
have the power to kick every Democratic
Postmaster out Of Office from Maine to
Texas.
The election passed of very quietly
here yesterday, without any i'll feelings
from either party whatever; aud never,
since the world began, have seen the like.
Three months and better ago, our Lincoln
and Hamlin pole was cut down by the
vandals of slavery, under the eyes of Gov
ernor Letchcr's troops, ond yesterday the
Republicans carried the 0ccoquan pre-
cinct, over Breckenridge and Lane, by a

rejoicing over the victory in Occoqnan, by
firing guns and burning tar barrels, &c.
The vote in Occoquan is as follows:
