Who ever saw a woman ut n loss for words
to express herselfp Men make hard work of
talbing--they hesitate and stammer--con-
trive to say what they don't mean, and arc
driven to their wits end for phrases to con-

away like the silvery flow OF mountain

Scolding isn't their highest form of elo-

gall and bitterness evolved itself into that
outrageous sentiment, did you ever have a
mother? DO you remember back to the
days when you were a little child, and she
used to tell you whispered stories, with your
head resting upon her shoulder, while the
golden crescent Of the young moon hung in
the violet sky, above the hills !? Has the
world ever brought you Nught Of eloquencc
to surpass those softly-murlnlred syllables !?
Did you ever have a wife Did you ever

wind was idly stirring the violets over little
grave, and listen to the fearful words she
speaks about her little one who has passed
through the pearly gates ?---words so full of

Mr.. johnson resumed his speech. He did not think
that the explanation made yesterday by the Senator from
Vermont satisfactory. He ask the Senator il he
thought that the personal liberty bill Of Vermont

he thought that the judges Of the country would decide

that if Vermont should pass law in notification il
would be overt act and the Federal government

Convention Of al TIE States, empowered TO suggest
amendments 10 the Constitution, to bo ratified ate
by the Conventions Of the several Sates constitutional
amendments offer the only satisfactory and permanent
remedy for existing and prospective difficulties and evils
We have tried Legislative Compromises, and have found
them inadequate the purpose except temporarily Ana
as We desire sec end put to all controversy between
tie North aad South the slavery question, at once and
forever We see no other Of reaching that object
except by amendments to the Constitution, which shall
admit Of miseousruction evasion or doubt Coop
Grating therefore, in this important matter, we should
entertain no fear Of having conceded to the South
b. the North whatever is just and necessary to the Sc
cury and protection Of peculiar institutions Ger
tlu Is We t1ink that the large Border and NorthWes-
tern non-say, holding States would readily and cheerful
" grant US hat reasonable additional securities might
demand. Aud if tie New England States refuse the
necessary concessions they should be le out of the
Union, and be permitted to set up for themselves.
We repe, then that the Southern States, in state OF
cooperation should first direct their efforts to the preser-
walton and security Of Southern rights IN The UHio"-
And to that end they should demand the call Of Ma
onal Convention and that at as early day as praeti-
cable. Aud t. as we remarked on yesterday the con-
rov,rsy cannot BE- definitely and satisfactorily settled by
such body il would be demonstrated that the slave
holding and nOn-slavehOldng States should not longer
live together in the Unioa but should part and set
10 separately for themselves. And the failure Of National
Convention 70 adjust sectional differences and disputes
should be Immediately followed by the adoption OF a
proposition for peaeeabe separation, accompanied BY
fair and equitable division and distribution of the public
property Of the present United States.
In conclusion we express the hope that the other Cot
ton S,Ates-sith the exception of South CarOna-Nill
initiate the WISE prudent and fraterna example of GeOr
ga and Immediately adopt resolutions, not in favor OF
separate SAie secession, but in favor OF cooperation
among all the Southern STATS.
