Resolutions:
Resolved, That the General Government has
failed to enforce clear provision of the Federal

the welfare of the Southern States, and that the
result of the recent federal elections leaves them
without any reasonable hope for the future main
teinance of their Constitutional rights.
Resolved, That being thus unprotected and de-
fenceess in the Union, it is the right and duty of
the Southern States, it is their highest interest
to take their destinies under their own CONTROL
and prepare without delay to organize for them
selves a separate and independent Confederacy.
Resolved, That in furtherance of this end, it is
the duty of the Legislature of this State at an early

THE SECTIONAL TROUBLES.

TRENTON, n. j., Dec. 12th.-An immense
Union meeting was held here yesterday. Com
modore Stockton, chairman. Addresses were de-
livered and resolutions were passed, which are
particularly severe on the Northern multiplying
tates-demanding that their personal liberty bills
shall be rescinded, and speaking kindly of the
South. A committee was appointed to consult
with other States
Private advices say that there is a general reac-
ton throughout the Eastern, Northern and Middle
States.
BUFFALO, Dec. l2.-Ex-President Fillmore has
declined the invitation to 60 as a messenger of
peace to South Carolina. He states, his reason
that he had made an engagement to participate in
State Union meeting, and he was, therefore,
bound to await the result.
LoU1s1ANA-Raton Rouge, La, Dec 10
The Louisiana Legislature met here, at II o'clock,
to-day. The Message of Gov T. O. Moore was
read amid great excitement.
The Governor recommends the immediate action
of Louisiana, so to be out of the Union before
the Inauguration of Lincoln, and that the State
Military Board should buy and distribute arms
among the people, for which purpose he calls for
the appropriation of half million of dollars. The
Governor also asserts the right of secession, and
counses unity of action among the slaveholding
States.
The Legislature has called Convention.
MARYLAND.-The Baltimore Patriot complains
that the States further South should resort to dis
union. By way of commencing the example Of
Maryland, it says:
"She has suffered more, manifold more, than
the above-named States, in the escape of her
slaves, yet sheis determined to remain in the Union
and to contend for rights, believing that she will
not appeal in vain to the magnanimity and justice
of the non layehOldino States"
Ba- In Massachusetts the personal liberty bill
which was passed over Gov GARDENERS veto in
1855 has since been essentially modified and strip
ped of its unconstitutional features at the recon-
mendation of Governor Banks Washington
Constitution.
