The Georgia Legislature.

Macon, Ga, Nov. 10, 1850.
The Legislature of Georgia yesterday
refused to fix a day for the election of
Il. s. Senator to succeed Alfred Iverson,
agreeing to postpone the ballot until the
action of the State is determined. A
bill calling convention Of the State
Will pass in few days.
MILLIDoEvGLLE, Ga, Nov. 0.
It was moved to postpone the election
Of Senator to the 18th, other days were
also proposed Mr.. Harris, of Worth,
favored the earliest time. It was we'll
known who Georgia preferred, and when
elected he would instantly resign if the
interests Of Georgia and the South re-
quired it. Mr.. Oliver favored the
earliest day. He objected to keeping
candidates here on expense. Mr. Jones
urged the greatest delay Ee regarded
the present a time for deliberation, and
they needed all the light that could be
obtained before acting.
\ few weeks might deevlope import
ant matters thas ought to be known be-
fore the election Mr.. Spaulding favored
the postponement two weeks. He didn t
believe in endorsing SO early Lincoln S
election. There was measures more I'M
portant to the Convention. Retaliatory
legislation claimed precedence over the
election Of Senator. Mr.. Seward IA
vored the postponement. He was op-
posed to doing anything so early to
indicate that Georgia intended to submit
| to Lincoln's election.
Mr. Harris inquired whether Mr.. Sc
ward favored secession if Georgia so de-
cided on Convention. He thought
Georgia would not be sustained by other
Southern States, by thus Indicating her
willingness to submit to Lincoln's cleo
ton. He considered it safety to the
South to act as unit.
Mr.. Lawton favored the utmost delay
of election of Senator There was no
necessity Of speedy action, as Georgia
would be represented in the Senate until
tn 4th of March.
He agreed with Mr. Seward that so
speedy an indication to submit to the
election of Lincoln would place Georgia
in antagonism. The news would be
speedily sent over the country, that
Georgia acquicsced in the election Of
Lincoln.
Mr.. Spaulding moved that the resolu-
tions lie ON the table for the present
Adopted.
A bill was introduced, heavily taxing
manufactured articles from Massachu-
setts, Connecticut, New York, Pennsyl,
vania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and othei
States, for multiplying the Fugitive Slave
Law; also, for preventing the citizens
of offending States from suing in the
Courts Of Georgia.
The Legislature adjourned from Fri
day till Monday.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

The latest news from this nesting
place Of traitors, shows the members of
the so-called Legislature to be simply a
conclave Of raving bedlamites, The
Governor sends in message bristling
all over with gasconade, and recommend
ing Immediate war with the Union
The Legislature takes up the burning
document and spouts ranting fustian
over it by the hour Armies are
evoked, and millions Of dollars pledged
to carry on the war The free negroes
and mulattos, many OF whom are wealthy
slave holders. are to be sold, and with
the proceeds all creation is to be upset
and whatever Kingdom, Principally or
power, will! not bow down to the scepter
Of the mighty Empire of South Carolina
is to be blotted from the scroll Of ma
tions and made tributary to King Gotten.
The incoherent rawlings of whole
ASYLUM of lunatics would be scene of
nationality compared with this conccn-
trated focus Of fanaticism.
If reason does not return to the lead
ing men Of the State, we do not know
but it would be well TO let her try her
fortune awhile out Of the Union.
And if she cannot find her way out, we
would recommend that way be shown
to her ''across lots" Let her slide! 1t
would not be siE months before she
would beg to be taken back and protect
ed by the arm OF the Uuion from the
vengeance of her own children A large
majority OF the whole population of
South Carolina, to-day, are mulattoes-
the sons and daughters of the boasted
chivalry ofthe State. Let her carry into
effect her project Of selling all those
now free into slavery, and then dissolve
her connection with the Union, and these
oppressed children of hers will rise upon
their unnatural parents and wreak such a
vengeance as the world has never wit
messed. Surely these men are mad!

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1Z-As far as
can be ascertained, there is no disposi-
ton, either on the part of the Admins
tration or of gentlemen of political prom
inence here, to interfere in the present
Southern movement, except, perhaps, in
friendly spirit. 1t is now probable
that the President will issue an address
or proclamat ton, as the election of dele
gates to the South Carolina Convention
ST to take place at an earlier day than
was recently anticipated; and as in con-
sequence there would not be sufficient
time for the general circulation of an
appeal through the Annual Message, as
was originally contemplated.
Such is the alarm that Washington
will not be continued as the seat Of Gov
ernment, that the value of real estate has
been seriously affected by the secession
movement.
It is understood that Tom Corwin OF
Ohio can, if he will, occupy prominent
position in Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet, and
in case Of his declining to do SO, an in
vitation will be extended to Mr.. Ewing
VI ulE luIUu, VI tilC dllC OttlC.
Mr. Graham or Mr.. Badger of North
Carolina are also as confidently men
toned in this connection.
Proceedings OF the Georgia Legislature
MILLEDGEvILLE, Nov. 12.-Mr

GEORGIA.,

The Governor of Georgia has Issued
message Of interminable length to the
Legislature of that State, on the event
of the Presidential election. 1t is a cu
riosity in its way. He tells the Leg
islature in substance, that the people Of
the Union were fairly warned not to
elect Lincoln President. But that not
withstanding this warming, they had dis
obeyed orders and elected him by un-
heard of majorities in all the States
where force was not used to prevent
them. That in doing this they had Of
fered an unpardonable insult to tie ma
jesty of the Governor and Legislature
of Georgia, and must be punished there
for. The Governor recommends that
the Legislature immediately pass laws
taxing all the Products of these s'rebel''
States, wheth, ,er agricultural or mechan
ical, twep ~ five per cent. above all other
slmli'r + products, and that the bringing
OF such products into the State at all be
al 5olutel y prohibited. We do not see
how both these recommendation can be
carried out. But that is the Governor S
! business, not ours. Herecommends fur
ther that no citizen of Georgia be allowed
or required to pay any debt he may owe to
any citizen Of these rebel States; and
furthermore, that all laws of Georgia,
which protect the lives or property of
any citizen of these "rebel' States be
repealed. This we think is very un-
grateful recommendation. We have
plenty of very dirty dough- faces in the
North who have sacrificed their honor,
and conscience, and manhood for South
ern trade And that is the very class
who will be affected by this measure, if
adopted. Look at it! Here are mer-
chants and manufacturers who, for the
sake Of Southern custom, did all they
could do to keep thess slave drivers in
| power. The South condescending by
consented to buy their goods upon credit.
And now, because these dough faces
could not frighten or bully the honest
Masses into subserviency, they are to
lose their money! Well, that is most
righteous retribution! They ought to
reap the reward of their sevility.
But won't our Northern dough faces
admire the discipline of their Southern
masters when they find themselves at
the mercy of the mob, and no law to re-
dress their wrongs? Republicans have
been in this condition practically for
years. Northern Democrats could,
however, travel in the South, and even
collect their debts there. But the law
proposed will stop all this. No more
collection of debts! No law for robbing
and numbering even Northern Demo
Gratis! We commend our Democratic
friends to the tender mercies of their
Southern "brethren.

Election Items.

The probable complexion Of the
next Congress will be as follows: Sen
ate-Republicans, %; Democrats, 81.
House-Republicans, 1O9; Democrats,
12S.
Missouri has all along been con-
ceded to Douglas, but it is not unlikely
that Bell has carried the State. We
cannot spesk with certainty, as there are
fifty counties yet to hear from. If We
may believe the St. Louis evening Neaus,
these will increase Bells majority. The
results, as far as known, are given in the
Republican Of Saturday, as follows: Bell,
1929; Douglas, 34,176; Breckinridge,
H. 4,946; Lincoln, 1878.
As far as heard from, Douglas has a
majority in only one county in Michigan
I-Chippewa- which he has carried by
just thirty votes. There are fourteen
counties yet to be heard from, which will
add, says the Detroit AdOertiser, seven
or eight hundred to Lincoln's present
maj ajority Of % ,063.
The official result Of the election in
Allegheny Co., Pa, gives Lincoln 10000
majority over the Reading ticket, and
over the Reading, the Douglas straight
and the Bell-Everett tickets combined,
8,9O7. LincoIn's vote was 1925, which
was S46 more than that given for Cur
tin.
The Wheeling LtelHgencer truly
calls Ritchietown, Va, the most glori-
Gus place this side of the Elysian fields.
"Just think of clear 164 votes for Old
Abe, down there-52 votes more than
! Douglas got-S3 more than Bell got, and
123 more than Breckinridge-and 56
more than Fremont got in the county" "
ST Louis, Nov. 12.-The result is
very doubtful and close. The State is
claimed by both parties. There are sew
eral counties yet to hear from.
Wisconsin has done more nobly
than ever. She gives Lincoln about
20, 600 majority Old Rock, the 'ban-
ner county, rolls him up 1926 major
ity. Every election precinct gave a
Republican majority, In one township
/ (Union)the vote was: Lincoln $50,
Douglas 26 Breckenridge (the postmas-
i ter, of course |. Not the least agree
able feature of the Wisconsin triumph
vas the defeat, by over 1000 majority,
of the disreputable fellow, Larabee, of
whom the Chicago Tribune justly says:
The three worst pro-slayery men in
the last Congress from the North. were
Larabee Of Wisconsin, Logan Of Illinois,
and Vallandigham of Ohio; and Lara
bee was the meancst of the three. In
addition to the righteous beating he has
received politically, we are informed
that he got into brawl in Milwaukee
last Wednesday evening, and was con-
siderably fogged by an antagonist whom
he had insulted.

CHICAGO, Nov. 12-Considerable ex-
citement was caused here tonight by
the arrest by the United States Marshal
of negro woman who escaped from
Nebraska City short time since. The
woman is claimed as a slave by Stephen
T. Knuckles of Nebraska. The Marshal,
in taking her to jail, was stopped in the
street by an excited crowd of negroes,
and was compelled to give the woman to
the city police, who lodged her in the
armory for safe keeping.
An effort will be made in the morning
to take her to Springfield for examina-
ton before Commissioner Cornean.
The streets in the vicinity Of the ar
mory are crowded with negroes and
some white persons in a high state of
excitement, who declare their intention
to prevent the woman from being taken
away from the city.

Good for Little Deleware.

1t is with the highest pleasure that
we announce the fact that Delaware, a
Slave State, will be represented in the
next Congress by true Republican,
"Fusion' carried the State against Lin
coln-by small majority, but the Re
pub.icans elect their member of Con-
gress, This is result the more graft
flying as it was hardly hoped for. As
Deleware has but one member, this
gives us the whole vote of the State
We have, besides, Blair, of Missouri, a
true and tried Republican: And Rel
Inns, of the same State, elected by Re-
publican votes, and who will, although
nominaily Bell man, give Lincoln's
Administration cordial support, as
yil also Davis, of Maryland.
