REBELLIoUs STATE.

Can n State Of this Union, who has nullified an
act of Congress, and still remains in open rebel
lion TO the laws of the land, claim the right of
representation in the Congress of the United
States? Look Mt the State of Michigan, who few
years ago enacted law in her State councils
nullifying the fugitive slave law enacted by Con
gress. upon plain pointed, express provision of
the Constitution of the United States The Leg
lslature Of that State further declares that if any
person who may 60 into her borders to recover
by the fugitive slave law, his negro that this act
constitutes most grave offence against her dig
nifty, and thereby makes the offender guilty of
a high misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
before her StOts Courts shall be consigned to the
penitentiary for the term of ten years. And yet
this State claims the protection Of her property
by those whom she has thus wronged and swim
died out of their property rights.
This proposition we conceive to be the most
monstrous that the history of legislation, either
modern or ancient. can show.
The iiaa NJ State repudiating one of the
solemn provisions of the CONSTITUTION, legislated
upon by Congress, adjudcated Constitutional by
the United States Supreme Court; and with all
these things staring such State in the face, pal.
pable and tangible, and yet her State councils will
close their eyes to these solemn behests, and pro-
mulgate to the world their contempt Of the laws
Of the land bidding defiance to the neral gov
ernmeit, and announce to the world that if you
invade my soil to enforce your law. that your
officers shall suffer Imprisonment in my dungeons
prepared for hends of every grade.
And strange to say, this State OF Michigan
claims q representation in the councils of the
nation. and the right to vote upon all measures
brought forward for consultation.
And should Southern people complain of this
want Of fidelity, to the Federal compact. They
are stigmatized equally With this faithess ingrat-
itude of Michigan aud many otter of her Norther.
allies.

DEMOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION.

Wisely anticipating the events recorded
in another column, The Democratic Convsn-
ton Of Mississippi, which assembled in De.
cember last, made provisions for holding a
subsequent Convention to take such further
action as circumstances might render pro-
per. uE
In Pursuance Of the directions Of that
Convention, Hon. Joseph NJ Jayne, Chair,
man Of the Central Executive Co@mttee,
has issrted call for Convent7on of the
Democracy of the State, to be held IN Jack
son ON Monday the 30th Day Of May.
We earnestly exhort the Democracy ot
every oouuty in the State to respond with
the utmost promptncss to this call Every
consideration of duty and of patriotism de,
raands that the Democracy of the State
should meet together for calm dciberatioN
and decided action on that OCCASION
Following the lead of principle and look,
| ing aloae to the preservation of the corsi-
tutionaE rights of the South. the delegates
represea+ipg nine States in the Charleston
IConventibn, sustained by the almost mani
nous vote Of The entire South and a portion
of the Nort1, assumed an attitude of bold
defiance te' she confedcracy of disorganizcrs,
heriticy and traitors who sought to palm up
on the party, platform embracing the per-
ncious deetrine of squatter sovereignty, 9r
to compel acquiescence in a declaration Of
faith which has been made to bear Two mean.
ings, and thus to encourage double dealing
and hypocrisy.
Shall tie course of Mississippi at Charles
ton be sustained and will the tried and
true DCr,bcracy Of this gallant State stand
by her sisters in this struggle for constitu-
tional rights ? This is a question to be
solved by the Democracy IN Convention,
speaking &rst through their organs of pub
lie sentitsent, the primary meetings, whore
the voice of the psople finds bold aud manly
utterance.
With safety to the interest of the party,
and without disregard of the vital conses
quences depending upon the result later
day than the Both could not have been nam
ed. Hence, but little time is left for action.
And yet it is amply sufficient, if the Dem
ocracy will address tbem elves in good earn
est to the work. Rally, then, Democrats of
Mississippi. Re-kindle your council fires,
and prepare for the coming struggle. There
will be no Offices to bestow by the Copven-
tion of the 30th-no loaves and fishes to
distribute-but higher duties are to be per-
formed. Vital principles are to be main
tanned !; and such measures are required to
be taken as will enable you to give them
the aid of your active and efficient support
in November.-M Mississlppian.

Then came from their hiding places into the room

Well theme was an inquest, an investigation, and
all that sort of thing; but ID all amounted to
nothing. The anniversaries were in full blast,
and many of the persons through whose neglect
this infant was devoured by vermin, were in haste
to take an active part in the meetings of abolition
societies, societies for providing the dusky babes
of Abysinia with red flannel jackets, societies for
establishing Sunday Schools for Juvenile Arabs
on the fiery fands of the great Sahara, and So
cieties for doing all sorts of impossible things for
dingy humanity in distant climes What time

SELLING LIQUOR TO MINORs.-The La.
uor dealers of Indianapolis are about to be
hauled over the Goals for vending liquors to
minors. The State Sentinel of Thursday
says:
"Over four hundred indictments have
been found by the grand jury against par
ties in the city for selling liquor to minors.
The great majority of these are without
merit, so far as the minors are concerned
the minors, being seven,foot boys, who
would pass muster before Frederick the
Great, who was particularly fond of tail
specimens of humanity. In one instance,
the keeper of one of our most orderly sa
looms was indicted for selling to twenty
years-old boy, who himself had obtained u
license from the county commissioners, aud
was selling under it. This is the character
of most of them. How the keeper of sa i.
loon is to judge of the age of majority of
our Hoosier boys, even by looking at their
teeth, is puzzle to u.s."

RECEPTION OF THE Pony EXPRESS IN
CALIFORNIA Spontaneous celebrations took
place at every town through which the pony
passed. At Placerville guns were fred,
speeches, music by all the bands, waving of
flags and general hurrahs. At Sacramento
the Legislature adjourned in honor of the
event. The streets were draped with ban
ners, ladies thronged the balconies, aud
thousands of people blocked up the side
walks along the streets through which the
pony was expected to pass As he came
galloping along, followed by wild caval-
cade of men who had gone out on the plains
to meet him, the city echoed with the ring
ing of bells, booming of cannon, and the
long continued shouts of the multitude.
The demonstration was equally enthusiasts
tic, and more imposing when the express
reached San Francisco at late hour of the
night. The city was lit up by numerous
bon6res, torch.light procession was formed
the military companies were out, and the
pony was escorted from the steamer to the
heart Of the city amidst blaze of fireworks.
Altogether, these we're amongst the most
joyous demonstrations ever witnessed in Cal
ifornia, evincing hearty appreciation of
the enterprise SO gloriously consummated.

The Cincinnati Commercials Charleston
correspondent has furnished that paper with
the most interesting letters we have seen
from the convention. His letters give his
experience and observation of Southern trav-
cling, and his impressions of Southern peo-
pie and things generally. Wesuppose from
the tone of his communications, that this
was his first experience of life South of the
Ohio, and he speaks very favorably of what
he saw. He was particularly struck with
the contrast in our slow, take-your-time,
free>and-easy way of travelling on railroads,
as compared with the hurry and wear and
tear of the Northern lightning. lines. Charles
ton comes in for high praise for the polite
ness of its people and its excellent hotels.
He says the five dollars .a-day charge, con-
sidering their excellent fare and accommo.
dations, is not at all exorbitant on such an
occasion as the Convention.
